Sure enough, Qi Zhen came over holding the collar of Baishui's neck. Baishui's hair was messed up and his face was scratched. He looked very embarrassed.
Bai Shui's eyes were dull and he couldn't even struggle. He seemed to be very frightened.
Qi Zhen's bun was also a little messy, with a few strands of hair hanging down from his forehead, and his clothes were stained with dust. With sharp eyes, Bai Banxia could see at a glance that a piece of his sleeve was torn, and he still smelled of blood.
"Are you okay?" she hurriedly approached him and asked.
"It's okay, I just encountered a wolf and was delayed." Qi Zhen said in an understatement, but Bai Banxia knew that the situation was definitely not as easy as he said.
Wolves move in packs, and each one is extremely powerful. Qi Zhen can always escape by hiding alone, but it would be a lot of trouble if he brought along the burden of Baishui.
She frowned and said angrily: "If he dies, he dies. What do you care about him? Why did you make yourself so embarrassed?"
Qi Zhen twitched his lips and said: "If he dies, people will easily sympathize with the deceased. Then his fault will become excusable, and those who chase him will have to bear the responsibility. They will be punished in the future."
When people talk about it, they might even say that it drove him to death."
Only when facing Bai Banxia did he say so many words in one go.
"He doesn't deserve to have such a bad reputation, let alone have his crimes forgotten." Qi Zhen sneered, "If he hadn't died and had been on the run for a few months, the villagers would have thought he was dead and would have sympathized with him.
I have forgiven him for his evil deeds, how will he settle the matter when the time comes?"
Bai Banxia instantly understood what he meant. He was talking about people in the village, but in fact he was referring more to the old people of the Bai family.
After all, he is his own flesh and blood. The old man is angry with him and hates him for doing evil. But if he thinks that his death will be in vain, he will naturally forgive him in his heart. After a few months, he will come back and make things miserable. The old man
I can't blame him for being afraid, I just feel sad.
Isn't Wang Erhu of the Wang family a ready-made example? In order to save Xu Ping'er, Wang Erhu almost killed the official, causing his grandfather and father to get beaten up and lose the family property. The Wang family hated him to death, and even Mr. Wang said a lot about it.
There is no such person as Wang Erhu in the Wang family.
But a few months later, when the general amnesty was granted and Wang Erhu was released, he became lame in one leg. The Wang family became soft-hearted and never mentioned the past.
"Then you can't put yourself in danger." Bai Banxia was a little angry. She didn't know why she was angry. She was just angry when she saw Qi Zhen making herself so embarrassed.
"It's not that bad, it's just a little troublesome and delayed time." Qi Zhen noticed her emotions and reached out to touch the top of her head, but his hand reached into the air and froze.
His hands were dirty, stained with mud and wolf blood.
Suddenly, he moved his feet and kicked out a stone. The stone flew up and hit Xu, who was trying to escape secretly. Xu suffered pain and fell to the ground unable to move.
Bai Banxia looked back and snorted coldly, "You still want to run away?"
"It's really none of my business, Pinellia, just let me go." Mrs. Xu begged.
"Wait for grandpa to deal with you." Bai Banxia knew that she had been punched in the acupuncture points by Qi Zhen and could not move for the time being, so he ignored her.
"Are you really not hurt?" Bai Banxia turned to look at Qi Zhen, simply reached out and grabbed his wrist, felt his pulse, and checked with the miracle doctor system.
The corners of Qi Zhen's lips curled up, but he did not dodge or break away. He was very happy that she cared about him so much.
After confirming that Qi Zhen was not injured, but that his internal energy was a little confused, Bai Banxia let go.
"I will go back and inform everyone that I will interrogate them here later," she said to Qi Zhen.
"good."
Bai Banxia went to notify her family, and also called Zhang An and several elders to testify. It was rare for people to sever ties in public in the village, but if they did, it would be the same as a family separation, and a respected person would need to be present to testify.
She announced this, and the news spread in the village. Soon many people came to the field, pointing at Mr. and Mrs. Baishui.
After a while, Bai Banxia arrived with the help of the old man. Except for Da Lang who wanted to stay at home with Lin Rongrong and Xiao Cao who was young, everyone else from the Bai family also arrived.
The Liu family's father and son also came, but Liu Ye was obedient and brought a small bench to sit on.
Mr. Bai was using a cane that he had not used for a long time, and he was no longer walking as smoothly as before. The onlookers couldn't help but sigh when they saw it. Anyone who meets such an unfilial son and loses half his life in anger is lucky.
"Grandpa, it's up to you to deal with it. Don't get angry or take action. Leave it to us." Bai Banxia reminded in a low voice.
"Don't worry, grandpa is cherishing his life." the old man said.
Bai Banxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The old man said this, which can be regarded as understanding.
When he came up to him, the old man said to Qi Zhen again: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Qi."
"Grandpa, I should do it." Qi Zhen said respectfully.
The old man nodded. The juniors in his family are all good. Even though Qi Zhen is not from the Bai family, he is still a good young man.
Then the old man looked at Zhang An and several elders, bowed his hands and said, "I'm sorry to bother you all this evening."
"It's no trouble. Uncle Bai, please take care of yourself." Zhang An advised.
The old man nodded, "Okay."
Immediately, he looked at Baishui and said, "Baishui, why did you break into Bai's house and steal something today?"
Baishui looked like he was stupid and didn't answer him. Qi Zhen said: "There were many dead vines under the cliff where he fell, so he didn't fall, but he ran around and ran to a nearby wolf den, where he was killed by the wolf.
He was surrounded. It took me a lot of effort to rescue him, but he was not honest and ran away. The wolf chased him and bit off his shoes. He was so frightened."
"Hmph, you deserve it if you are so brave and sneaky!" the old man scolded.
Bai Shui still didn't respond. He didn't know whether he was really frightened or just pretending. Just when everyone was guessing, Bai Banxia suddenly walked up to him and pricked him with the silver needle in a flash.
"Wolf! Wolf! Help!" Baishui was stung, but he seemed to wake up, screamed, and scraped back desperately on the ground. It took him a long time to see clearly that the wolf was gone.
Seeing him like this, everyone understood the following sentence: It is your own fault and you will not survive.
"Baishui, why did you break into Bai's house today and steal something?" the old man asked again.
Baishui got up and crawled towards the old man on his knees. As he climbed, he cried and said, "Dad, I'm so hungry. I just want to eat some meat. I know I made a mistake."
"You want to eat meat?" The old man snorted coldly, "Didn't you lose money in gambling?"
Bai Shui's eyes flickered, "No, I don't have any more money to gamble."
"There is meat in the kitchen. If you want to eat meat, why don't you go to the kitchen and steal it?" The old man is his biological father after all, and he sees him clearly. "I heard that you stole the neighbor's chicken at your father-in-law's house.
After leaving the village, you gamble and steal, what else don't you dare to do?"
