"Is it Tianlin?!" Hearing the shouting voice, Guan Heng frowned and walked out quickly. He saw Tianlin arguing with a group of people. When Guan Heng passed by, he heard a few words and immediately
His face sank.
It turned out that these guys with hoes and poles were residents of Hu Town who lived nearby. According to them, a red horse suddenly rushed into everyone's farmland last night and made trouble, destroying the crops.
Food crops are the lifeblood of everyone's hard work for a year. How could everyone give up and follow the footprints to find the town. They asked around and explored here and found this place. It turned out that the only red horse in the town was Tian Lin.
Ma, now, even if you jump into the river, you won't be able to clear your suspicions.
Everyone was filled with anger at this time, saying that Tianlin's "Honghong" was the culprit of ruining the crops. Everyone shouted that they must pay compensation, otherwise, they would take the horse to the street and beat him to death. After hearing this, Tian Lin
Lin was very angry.
"Hey, are you guys finished?" At this moment, Guan Heng and Agou who had just walked out shouted in unison: "Shut up, everyone."
The two of them had been on the battlefield for a long time, and their whole bodies were filled with the evil aura of those strong men who crawled out from the pile of dead people. How could they not be afraid of these ordinary farmers cultivating the fields? They were so shocked that all the hoes, shovels and pickaxes in their hands fell to the ground.
I didn't even know it hit my foot.
Guan Heng flicked his fingers at this time, and the ghost-swallowing tiger, the sharp-billed mountain ray, and the elephant snake bird immediately swayed, flew or walked, and came to Tian Lin. When those farmers saw the monster birds and beasts, they immediately felt sweat on their foreheads.
, and took a few steps back.
"One by one, they kept talking in such a mess that I was confused." Guan Heng snorted at this time, pointed at a farmer with a loyal face, who looked like a leader, and said: "Tell me the matter once, even if
If our horses didn’t do it, we can all think of a solution together, so why use force?”
"That's right, what this little brother said makes sense. I didn't agree with their aggressive knocking on the door at first." The leading farmer introduced himself: "My name is Cai Jie, and I live in the suburbs of Hu Town. Here's what happened...
"
It turns out that the fields Cai Jie and his friends cultivated were not far from Hu Town, and everyone dug in the soil for food. Although it was very hard, at least they didn't go hungry after harvesting the food, so their life was quite peaceful.
But just last night, Cai Jie's wife got up at night and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside the door. There was indeed a north-south road near their home, but most people would not ride their horses here.
Unless you are lost.
Immediately afterwards, Cai's wife heard a rustling sound in her field, so she quickly called her husband to get up and take a look. When the couple went out with a lamp, they saw a red shadow running towards the north.
Cai Jie's eyesight was still good, and he could see clearly that the back of the thing was a red horse galloping with its hooves flying. It was running out of his own field. The two of them walked over to check carefully and found that the crops in the field had been trampled down.
It was a large piece, which was the family's ration for the next half of the year, which made Cai Jie very angry.
The next day, Cai Jie learned the news that several families' fields had been destroyed, so he volunteered to lead people and followed the direction of the horse's hoof prints to find the inside of Hu Town. Finally, he saw Shang Tianlin's red horse.
Just think that the other party is the culprit.
"Well, from what you said, there are a lot of doubts." Guan Heng raised his fingers at Cai Jie and a few others: "Do you all still remember the size of the horseshoe prints along the road? Come and see if they match ours.
As big as a red horse."
"This... is wrong." Cai Jie looked at the red horse's hooves carefully at this time, and then said: "Brothers, the horse's hoof prints on the road are bigger than the mouth of Haiwan. It is definitely not this red horse.
It seems that everyone got the wrong size."
Several farmers also knew that they were in the wrong, so they came over and apologized to Tian Lin: "Girl, we are all rough people who plow the fields. We don't know how to speak and do things, and we are worried about our own crops. I have offended many people. Please forgive me."
Seeing that everyone was so polite, Tian Lin seemed a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, uncles and brothers, don't worry about it."
"But, since you have found this place, I won't let you go in vain."
Guan Heng's heart was also very soft. He knew that it was not easy for farmers to work hard for a year. If there was no rations for the winter, the whole family would starve, so he winked at Ruotao next to him. Ruotao was everyone's
"Mr. Accountant", of course, understood what the other party meant. He reached out and took out a money bag and gave each of the farmers a gold shell.
"This, this, how can we be so embarrassed?" Cai Jie was stunned at this time, and he whispered: "Obviously we are the ones who came to disturb you. If we take your things again, then I will be wronged.
Is the good guy a scoundrel?"
"Brother Cai, don't say that. We have to be in a hurry and can't help you catch the culprit, so we have to use this instead for the time being." Guan Heng said: "The winter is not far away now. You should think more about your family and collect the goods."
Get off."
"Yes, yes, take it." Agou, Tianlin, and Ruotao were also advising beside them. In the end, the farmers thanked everyone profusely and left with the gold shells.
Watching the other party's back disappear, Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and said half-jokingly: "Tianlin, tell the truth, was your family Honghong so hungry last night that she ran out to eat snacks alone? She also ruined other people's crops.
, I compensated the other party because of you."
"Brother Guan, what are you talking about?" Tian Lin said aggrievedly at this time: "You are wronging a good man, no, you are wronging a good horse. My Honghong can't steal things. Do you think it is an elephant?"
Snake bird? Honghong, right?"
When Tianlin said this, she even touched the red horse that was lowering its head to eat horse beans. The snake-like bird was so angry at what she said that it flew to the roof of the stable without looking at her.
"Guan Heng, stop joking." Agou said in a deep voice at this time: "You also know in your heart that according to the descriptions of Cai Jie and others, it is impossible for an ordinary horse to do such a thing."
"Hey, I'm just joking, girls, don't take it seriously." Guan Heng first smiled at Tian Lin, and then said to everyone: "Hu Town is also a very evil place, everyone should get on the road as soon as possible.
It would be better to go to Tushan."
"That's right." With a layer of inexplicable doubts in their minds, everyone left Hu Town and continued their journey. Time passed quickly, and it was noon again in the blink of an eye. Everyone rested and ate under the shade of the trees beside the road.
"It's weird, I just went to fetch water. How come Ruotao was gone for so long?" Guan Heng saw that the little female ghost had not returned and was a little worried about her. He stood up and said to Agou and Tianlin: "You guys wait here.
In a moment, I will go find Ruotao."
As soon as he finished speaking, a snake-like bird suddenly landed on Guan Heng's shoulder, and of course he planned to go with him.
