"Save me! Save me! I can't move anymore!"

A cry for help interrupted the boy's words. When he heard this sound, he immediately became excited and turned his head, as if fire was about to spurt out of his eyes.

"There are people over there?" Zhou Xian asked.

"Is there any? I don't know." Chi Shi said lightly.

At this moment, the people in the village rushed over to the other end after hearing the news.

Chi Shi reached out and pushed the boy, "What's your name?"

"Guan Yi."

...

By the time the villagers gathered in the ancestral hall, the sky was already completely bright. There was still no sun today, it was a cloudy sky.

Chi Shi pulled a stool, sat in the middle of the crowd, and arrogantly crossed his legs.

Everyone's eyes were gathered on her, but she looked at Guan Yi as if no one was around, "Tu Ju, Zhang Tang, Ruan Ying, and Ruan Clan Chief, you all killed them, right? Why did you kill them?"

Guan Yi looked at the villagers around him angrily and said word by word, "They deserve to die!"

He wanted to say more, but he seemed to be full of grief and anger in his heart. He couldn't say it. He looked for it in the crowd with anticipation. When he saw a cramped woman, he stopped his eyes, "Auntie."

The woman sighed lightly and walked out of the crowd. She walked to Guan Yi, tiptoed, and gently touched Guan Yi's head. Guan Yi whined, making a whimper like a small animal.

"He is indeed the son of Mrs. Guan. After Mrs. Guan died, the child was a terrible person when he was born. My father-in-law asked me to take him to the back mountain and buried him. Then the child should not be dead. I dug a hole and poured the soil on him, but he turned around in one breath and cried out."

This woman Chi Shi recognized that she was Ruan Ying's mother.

"Brother's wife, what are you talking about above? Come down quickly. We have told you to throw away all the faces of our Ruan family." A roar rang out in the crowd, and an old woman with a cane stomped her feet and rushed up, trying to catch Ruan Ying's mother back.

As soon as she rushed halfway, she saw Chi Shi's legs crossing the middle of the road, "I'm asking her, but I haven't asked you."

The old woman raised her crutch high, her mouth opened, but no sound was made.

Ruan Ying's mother glanced at her, pursed her lips, and then continued to speak.

"I couldn't bear it. The child was still alive, so how could he just buried him like this? So I secretly kept him in the back mountain without hiding it from everyone. I was a child bride bought by the Ruan family. My mother's family was not in the local area and had no relatives."

"At that time, the Ruan family also strictly controlled me and only let me walk in the village. But this child must not go back to the village. Once he comes back, he will die. So I raised him on the back mountain and named him Guan Yi."

People in Ruanjiazhuang mainly rely on farming to make a living. There are many insects and snakes on the mountain, and few people will go up the mountain.

"Why can't the child be brought back to raise? Guan Niangzi is rich, and after she dies, she should have left a lot of money."

Ruan Ying's mother's hands trembled slightly and looked at everyone in a daze. She turned her head and looked at the entrance of the village again. There was a screen wall in that place, and her daughter was voluntarily hung there.

After reading it, she returned her gaze and said firmly, "Because in the past eighteen years, my father-in-law, and Tuo Ju and Zhang Tang's father-in-law, killed Mrs. Guan for money."

In the courtyard of the ancestral hall, there was an uproar, and all the villagers were talking about it.

"This is impossible, the patriarch is a good person!"

"But if it is not true, why did Mrs. Guan's son kill someone?"

Ruan Ying's mother seriously repeated the previous words and said, "The people of the Ruan family are really ruthless. I have been in your village for so many years, but no one remembers what my name is. My surname is Mao, and my name is Maoping."

"How could such a person kindly take in a woman pregnant with Rocca back in the year of a disaster? Mrs. Guan is simple and looks like she is spoiled at home and is not very familiar with the world. When my father-in-law and the others went out to buy rice that day, Tuo Ju's father-in-law suddenly fainted."

"It was Mrs. Guan who took out half of the old ginseng slices from the bag and asked him to hold it in, and then he rescued him. How long did the ginseng grow in the northeast? There were very few lakes in our two lakes. My father-in-law and the others immediately became greedy."

"Don't look at the wealthy families, they can be just tonics for stewing. But for poor people like us, it is a life-saving pill."

Chi Shi listened, not surprised.

Since their ancestors, the Ruan family liked to eat Zihe Cart. Not to mention whether the things are useful, at least it means that they all felt that being humans were not very happy and wanted to be the turtle of 80,000 years.

I felt that I had not dug enough for decades, so I wish I could live forever and dig for thousands of years.

That ginseng was really heartwarming to them.

"There was more than this ginseng in the bag of Mrs. Guan. They tricked her into the village and lived in my house. At the beginning, they just wanted to steal the ginseng. But the ginseng was only the size of a finger, and it was obviously stewed by Mrs. Guan.

So, they had new evil thoughts. I saw with my own eyes that they strangled Guan Niang with a rope, and then lied that she had a premature birth and bloodshed. A woman gave birth to a child was like a wandering in the gates of hell. Guan Niang was dead, and no one suspected it."

"The good things in the bag were all divided by the three of them. Only gold and silver were taken out and the property was established for the clan. Everyone took the money, but none of them made a complaint for Mrs. Guan."

Mao Ping said, rolled up her sleeves, and when the people around her saw it, they immediately took a breath of cold air. She saw that her arms were covered with dense scars, "Who said that they belonged to good people."

"My husband is a fool. No one in the Ruan family respects me, but it's fine if they try to slap me, why do they try to slap my daughter? Chen Shao is my mother-in-law's relative, and every time he comes back, he is glamorous. But in fact, he is a dog thing that cannot be supported by the mud."

"He didn't go to other places to do business. He clearly hangs out all day long, gambling, and raises an actor. My Xiaoying and my Xiaoying are a piece of meat that fell off my body! I have been rotten in the mud for the rest of my life."

"But my daughter is not good, she still has a long life. So for the first time in so many years, I went against the wishes of the Ruan family and refused to let Chen Shao marry Xiaoying."

"But..." Mao Ping said, laughing a little crazy. She smiled and cried again...

"But, but I never expected that I killed Xiaoying!"

When Guan Yi saw Mao Ping crying, he suddenly became nervous. Although he was tied up tightly, he still jumped around for a few times and stood in front of Mao Ping, "Auntie, don't be afraid, I'm there."

Mao Ping wiped her tears, "This family's human face and beastly hearts actually... My father-in-law felt that I was disobedient and broke his one-man show. My mother-in-law was only concerned about her parents' home, thinking that her granddaughter was just a money-losing guy... My foolish husband, who was bullied by her daughter, was still clapping and laughing next to her..."

As she said, she suddenly looked at Ruan Dong who was huddled in the crowd, "And my strong son, I saw that my sister was bullied, and I didn't dare to say anything. The child in Xiaoying's belly was Chen Shao's."

Chi Shi sighed, "This is how the scars on Xiaoying's wrist come from?"
