When I was a Taoist

Chapter 303 Everything is a Misunderstanding

The three of us had dinner and were ready for a stroll around the village.It has to be said that this village is even as rich as some small towns. Small western-style buildings can be seen everywhere, and many villagers also have their own cars.When we slipped around and were about to go back to sleep, there was a burst of crying and noise from the village.Erha and I originally wanted to see what happened, but Fan Chen stopped us, shook his head and said, "Mr. Destiny told us not to get involved in other things, let's go back and rest."

After hesitating for a while, I still couldn't hold back my curiosity, and said, "Let's just go over and have a look, absolutely ignore their business, and what if we hear something related to Beijiang."

Erha also insisted on joining in the fun, but Fan Chen had no choice but to see what happened, so he followed us to the entrance of the village.I saw a group of villagers surrounded in groups, and I don't know what is surrounded by them.The three of us couldn't squeeze in anyway, and finally grabbed a little brother who had just been squeezed out, and asked, "What happened?"

The little brother glanced at us and said, "The child of Widow Zhang, the head of the village, was murdered. The murderer was a young man who had just entered the village. I didn't expect such cruel methods at the age of fifteen or sixteen. It's really cruel!"

When we heard it, our curiosity was even more aroused, and we desperately wanted to squeeze in to see what happened.Finally, we tried our best to squeeze in, and found a five or six-year-old child lying on the ground breathless, and a pretty woman sitting on the side crying bitterly. It should be the widow Zhang that my brother said.On the opposite side, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was held up by a group of villagers, his face full of panic, he did not seem like a murderer who could do such a thing.

At this time, the village chief rushed over, first glanced at the child's body, and then asked angrily, "Who did this!"

Widow Zhang wiped her tears and cried: "Village chief, you want to avenge my children. This bastard ran to my house this afternoon to beg for saliva. I thought he was pitiful, so I left him to have a meal and rest at home. After dinner, I put the child to sleep, and then went to the next door to visit. Unexpectedly, he killed my child directly and wanted to rob my house. If the aunt next door didn’t come in time, I’m afraid I would have been killed by him !"

Hearing Widow Zhang's accusation, the village head looked at the boy coldly, and shouted angrily: "Widow Zhang kindly took you in, why do you want to avenge you!"

The boy quickly shook his head, and explained incoherently: "I didn't kill her child, but a ghost! I didn't want to steal anything from her house. The reason why the room was messed up was because I was fighting a ghost. Everything was a misunderstanding! "

"Nonsense, our village has been quiet for decades, so there are no ghosts here!"

The village chief let out a low shout, and the surrounding villagers shouted, "Kill him and avenge the child!"

One person even proposed to hang the boy in front of the child's grave and let him suffer all the wind and rain to avenge the child.The boy was so scared that his face turned pale, and he struggled frantically.A villager stepped forward and kicked him on the stomach. The painful boy was hunched up, and he could only squat on the ground and gasp heavily to relieve the severe pain.

"Damn it, they are so vicious to an unarmed child." A fierce look flashed in Erha's eyes, and when he was about to make a move, I stopped him, shook my head and said, "Let's see, we can try not to make a move if we can." Make a move. If there are people in the village who are traveling with you, maybe you can say a few words for him."

"It was really a ghost, you have to believe me." The young man looked at the crowd helplessly, but no one showed any pity. Instead, they all looked at him with the eyes of an enemy.

"Village Chief, since this guy doesn't give up, let's go and invite the old gentleman over and let him see what's going on."

At this time, a villager's proposal was supported by everyone, and the village head nodded, and said in a cold voice: "Since you are stubborn, I will ask the old man to come out and take a look. If it is not a ghost, you are waiting to be hanged." over the child's grave!"

Hearing this, all three of us breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that there are still fellow travelers in this village, and the young man's life may be saved.

A few minutes later, an old man with white beard and hair was helped over.The village chief nodded respectfully to him and told him about the things here.After listening to the old man, he walked to the corpse, only took a few glances, and then said: "There is no such thing as a ghost, it is purely because the murderer is cruel, and now he wants to find an excuse to get away!"

The young man who still had a glimmer of hope collapsed in an instant, and roared in despair: "You are clearly a liar, bluffing and cheating here, and even framed me!"

We were also dumbfounded, and only then did we realize that the old man in front of us was not a senior in the same industry, and he was clearly a liar who didn't understand!

"Hmph, the old gentleman has already said so, why do you have any reason to argue!"

The village chief was furious, and immediately ordered: "Go and hang this kid on the crooked neck tree, and then let the old man find a time to bury the child, and let this kid pay for his life!"

"and many more!"

The old man suddenly opened his mouth, looked at the young man coldly, and said: "I am worried that the child's resentment will be too heavy after his death, which will affect our village. I suggest that you use the murderer's blood to water the child's grave, so that his heart will be filled. The resentment dissipated, bless one side peace."

The old gentleman's words naturally won the incomparable support of everyone, but we couldn't bear it anymore.I stood up in front of everyone, and yelled at the old man: "What kind of Taoist priest are you? You are clearly a narrow-minded liar! How dare you come up with such vicious methods to deal with an innocent person? You are so old! Live on the dog!"

After I finished cursing, there was silence all around, and the villagers all looked at me with astonished eyes, as if they didn't expect me to be so irritable, and scolded the old gentleman whom they respected so much.After being exposed by me, the old man jumped up angrily, pointed at me and shouted: "This must be the murderer's companion, catch him quickly!"

Only then did the villagers suddenly realize, and rushed towards me one after another.But with my skills, let alone a dozen or so, even if they all rushed forward, I would not pay attention at all.Coupled with the presence of Fanchen and Erha, the three of us only spent a few minutes, and the dozens of villagers present almost fell to the ground and wailed.The village chief and the old gentleman watched this scene dumbfounded, their eyes full of fear.
