She made fire by setting up a stall

Chapter 472

"No." The middle-aged man named Lao Gao shook his head and said with certainty.

Several other people tried to recall every detail of that day on the mountain. They didn't know whether they were too nervous or afraid, or because of other reasons, they always felt that Lao Gao was tied up by vines just like them.

"No." A younger man shook his head, "I saw vines climbing up your legs."

Lao Gao still denied it, "That's right, the vine climbed onto my leg, but didn't continue, and then left."

The village head may not trust Shi Luo, but Lao Gao dare not lie in front of Shi Luo.

"Old Gao, why didn't the vines tie you up?" Obviously they went up the mountain together.

"I do not know either."

The villagers who went up the mountain with him felt that Lao Gao was not telling the truth, "Old Gao, you are not mean enough, right? You have a magic weapon to prevent you from being tied up by trees and vines, why didn't you tell us?"

Another person echoed, "That's right, Lao Gao, you see that there are several comatose people in the village. If you know something, tell the big guys that you are doing good deeds by helping Lao Jiao and the others."

"From the beginning!" Shi Luo suddenly raised his voice.

The village chief's son, Jiao Zhonghai, stepped forward and pushed Jiao Jian, "Why are you talking to my dad?"

"I won't let it go."

"Where are the roots of the tree now?" Shi Luo asked again.

Lao Yang, who was closest to Jiao Jian, pulled him back.

Jiao Zhonghai clenched his fists, "I'm going to sue you, I'm going to put you in jail."

"What kind of tree roots?" Shi Luo asked.

"Tell you well, I just don't listen, and I insist on making it so ugly." Tang Qiang said to the village chief and his son, "Don't deny it, let alone make up some nonsense. Master Shi will know it at a glance. If you dare to lie to us, I won't be so polite to you next time."

Tang Qiang was annoyed by people like the village head and his son. He lost his patience, stepped forward, grabbed the village head by the collar, and lifted him up, "If Master Shi asks you, answer honestly, and don't think you deny it." You can lie to Master Shi, what Master Shi says, that is what it is, I don't have any rules not to beat old people here."

"I really didn't bring anything with me at the time, and I don't know why the trees and vines didn't tie me up." Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. By this time, Lao Gao knew that the villagers would not believe what he said.

"But before that, village chief, should you tell me what you took from the mountain?" Ouyang Chen turned to the village chief with a dark face.

"Let go of my dad!" Jiao Zhonghai's neck was throbbing with veins, he wanted to break free from Lao Yang's grip, but how could he be Lao Yang's opponent as a person who sits in an office all year round?
Lao Yang fixed him in place with one hand.

The village chief was lifted up, his old face was shaking, his mouth was trembling, and he couldn't utter a word.

Jiao Zhonghai rushed over aggressively, and threw his fist at Jiao Jian, "If you are so stupid, I will beat you to death."

Jiao Zhonghai was scared, and he urged his father eagerly, "Dad, just tell them."

The village chief shrank his neck, "It's sold."

Everyone else looked at Lao Gao.

Lao Yang also let go, and Jiao Zhonghai hurried over to help the village head up, "Dad, just tell them, they really know how to kill people."

The village chief was thrashing in Tang Qiang's hands, but the strength of his struggle was getting weaker and weaker.

"Then tell me, why do you plan not to let our captain go?" Lao Yang exerted force on his hands, and Jiao Zhonghai howled in pain.

"If you don't know, then go up the mountain to find out." Ouyang Chen saw that the villagers looked at Lao Gao with reproach and faint rejection, he said.

Jiang Yang who was standing behind burst out laughing.

He didn't want to be jealous and resented by the villagers.

After finishing speaking, Tang Qiang clenched his fists.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Lao Yang calmly advised.

"You can beat people at will, but you have to call the police when you are beaten?" Jiang Yang adjusted his glasses, "Is your family running the police station?"

"Didn't I just say that? Be calm and speak slowly if you have something to say."

Lao Yang grabbed Jiao Zhonghai's fist easily.

"Dad! You let my dad go!"

Tang Qiang was full of ferocity, Jiao Zhonghai really thought Tang Qiang would strangle his father to death.

"I, I took a tree root."

Lao Gao shook his head for the third time, "Master, I really don't know."

Jiao Zhonghai's eyes were red, and he threatened, "If you dare to do something to my father, I will not let you go!"

The village chief just rolled his eyes in pain.

Jiao Zhonghai had great strength, and Jiao Jian was pushed straight back.

"let me go!"

The village chief didn't respond to Ouyang Chen's words at all, he chased people away again, "We don't need you in our village—"

"Uncle, we need masters in our village!" Since it was useless to speak loudly, Jiao Jian retorted his tone with emphasis.

"What's wrong with me? Master can save my dad and the others, why did you let him go?" Being provoked, the young man will not give face to the village chief, and Jiao Jian has been worried and anxious because of his father's affairs, so he exploded at this moment , he asked directly: "The master is still right, the village chief, did you really go up the mountain and take the thing from the big pine tree?"

That's why he hasn't spoken yet.

Shi Luo didn't open his mouth. Jiao Jian was not provoked by the villagers. He would not blame Lao Gao for no reason. He asked the key question, "Master, why are everyone else tied up, but Uncle Gao is fine?"

Tang Qiang lost his patience and simply grabbed the village chief by the neck.

Only then did Tang Qiang let go of his hand in satisfaction, and let the village chief collapse on the ground.

The village head could only nod weakly.

Tang Qiang's appearance is upright, which makes people look like that kind of upright person, but when he has a cold face, he makes people feel fearful.

"Say!" Tang Qiang lost his patience, and he moved forward and clenched the hand holding the village chief's collar.

"The juniors like Xiaojian will also thank you."

"As far as I know, even trees have spirits, and they will only have kindness towards you villagers living at the bottom of the mountain. They have protected you from generation to generation. If you hadn't hurt it, it wouldn't be so angry." Shi Luochang Living on the mountain, I know the simplicity and kindness of the creatures in the mountain.

"That's what he has to ask himself." Shi Luo didn't know everything either.

The village head shook his head, "I can't tell."

The village head trembled a few more times.

The village head flinched in his son's arms.

Being stared at by people all over the yard, and sometimes Luo and Qu Hao who could see through him at a glance, the village chief didn't dare to hide anymore, "I met someone."

"Three months ago, I once went up the mountain to gather some herbs. When I got down the mountain, I saw a man crawling down the ground with torn clothes, wounds on his face and neck, and he was strangled. As before, I basically know people in several nearby villages, but that person is not from our villages. I asked him at that time, but he ignored me and left. One day later, this person came to my house directly."

"He asked me to go up the mountain to dig a tree root for him, and said that if I could dig it, he would give me 2 yuan." These farmers could save less than 2 yuan a year, and the village was moved. .
