Chapter 106 Retribution
On the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September, at dawn, there was an earth-shattering cry from Beishan Village.

Jing Li, who had been watching Huo Shen most of the night, was woken up by Jing Ye.

"Sister, wake up quickly, something happened!"

Jing Li was angry: "What's wrong? Who's in trouble?"

Mrs. Su came over with the paste and said: "That evil and perverted scoundrel Wang San went to the next village last night to hang out, saying he was looking for a young widow. When he came back, he was bitten by a wolf and was bitten again."

Su Shi was halfway through speaking when she looked into her girl's eyes and stopped talking.

When Jingli heard about the wolf rescue, she felt excited and woke up.

"Mom, tell me, where did you bite?"

Su Shi put down the bowl angrily: "Let's eat your food. Why are you asking so many questions? I don't care when it is."

Wang San was bitten by a wolf, and today is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Where is Huo Shen?

Various thoughts flashed through Jingli's mind, she got up and ran out.

There was no one in the yard quietly. Jingli walked out of the gate and saw people from her village standing on the small slope separated from the east end.

When Jingli passed by, Chef Fan was telling everyone about Wang San vividly. The old man was getting older and less sleepy. He got up early and went to the river to see if there were any fish or shrimps caught in the cages he placed yesterday.

As soon as they walked to the river, they heard Wang Lizheng's family returning to the village crying loudly, saying that their third young master had been bitten by a wolf, and the whole village suddenly woke up.

It is impossible for a mountain like Lao Bei Mountain to be without wolves. This is why Wang Youcai is willing to accept Xiao Bei Ya. The mountain is big and there are many things, so you have to have a life to get out of it alive. The last time I ran to Lao Bei Mountain, if it weren't for Beishui Village The man was kind enough to help, but he must have been gored to death by the wild boar.

But this is not the time for wolves to appear frequently. Wolves usually come down the mountain to cause harm to people when the weather is freezing and they have nothing to eat.

Although there are usually one or two who come to visit, that road is an official road, and there are many vehicles and pedestrians on weekdays. Animals also have the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Or is it that the wolf has spotted Wang San and is easy to bully?

Jing Damei slapped her thigh: "My mother, yesterday I said that bastard deserved to be eaten by wolves. Why did this happen today?"

"Oh my God, you can tell the difference between good and bad people. From now on, when I speak, I will only curse the bad people. I can't let the good people suffer!"

Her second aunt, Mrs. Zhang, frowned and said, "Shut up quickly. The other party is always looking for trouble. If people hear this, it will be our fault later."

Jing Li finally understood why Su kept silent. It turned out that the wolf was able to pick at the ground and bite the fatal part.

Mr. Jing also waved his hand: "Hurry up and go home to work. Why don't you watch the excitement? Walk around and stop looking. If you look at the other end, you should curse."

The villagers said angrily: We haven’t seen the fun yet!
Before they even got off the slope, three carriages came on the main road across from the east end. The leader, who looked like a steward, raised his voice and asked, "My father-in-law, where are the people from Jingjia Village?"

The people in Jingjia Village looked at each other, are you here to find us?
Wan Baoquan hurried down: "We are from Jingjia Village, I don't know who you are."

Nowadays, the village's hospitality to outsiders is basically all about Wanbaoquan, so everyone stopped and looked at the person coming.

The steward came over and bowed: "So that I can let you know that I am the steward of the Xiao family in Chang'an City. This is not a festival! My young master and my daughter specially punished me for walking around."

"Xiao family?" Jing Li also hurried over: "Brother Xiao and Lianyun are too polite, which makes us very embarrassed."

The steward was good at talking: "The girl is a heretic. The young master and the two girls said that it is not easy for the girl's family to settle down just now. Why don't we let the younger one come over and have a look." Jingli quickly gathered the villagers to unload the car, and Wanbaoquan also unloaded the car. The steward greeted him into the courtyard.

The east end is still crying, but the west end is already happily preparing for the Double Ninth Festival.

The Xiao family sent a lot of things, including three cartloads of cloth, grain, and preserved fruits and snacks.

Jingli was very grateful. This was a gift of warmth in the name of celebrating the festival. The gift given by the Xiao brothers and sisters was really deep in their hearts.

Chef Fan and a few old ladies began to prepare the meal. Mr. Jing called Zhao Orion and the old blacksmith to quickly tantalize the intact furs that were to be sold in the past two days.

He also asked Xiao Su and other young wives to pack up the good mushrooms, fungus and other dry goods, and pick out the beautifully woven small baskets to put them in.

Even so, Mr. Jing couldn't help but sigh: "This family's foundation is too weak, and they don't even have anything decent in return. The younger generation of the Huo family also gave us a lot of good things. Although Haitang lives with us, , but after all, there should still be a return gift."

Haitang smiled and said: "The old man is a heretic. We are our own people. We should pay close attention to the guests from outside when we return gifts. My family is particular about what to do."

Mr. Jing nodded: "Yes, you are a good person, and the young man in your family is also very good."

Um!Excellent, I wonder how the old man would react if he knew that guy sucked human blood.

Jing Li slapped her head fiercely and said she had forgotten something, Huo Shen!I haven't seen Huo Shen this morning.

Jing Li quietly winked at Haitang, and the two of them walked to a quiet place: "Where is Huo Shen? Have you seen him?"

Haitang looked confused: "No, I haven't seen him since I got up in the morning."

Jing Li felt uneasy: "Then where did he go?"

Haitang also looked embarrassed. She didn't want anything to happen to the villagers, but she couldn't ask about that person's whereabouts.

Jing Li called Jing Ye: "Go and see if the children are there? They are not allowed to go out to play today. They all stay in the yard."

Jing Ye didn't know why: "Why? It's not a festival today. Are you going to climb the mountain?"

"Climb! I didn't hear that Wang San was bitten by a wolf, so why are you still climbing? Why don't you go to heaven!"

Jing Ye was beaten up by his sister, and he didn't dare to bring up the idea of ​​going out to play again, so he hurriedly went to find the children.

Jing Li picked up the crossbow and prepared to go out to look for Huo Shen. Haitang looked worried: "I'll go with you."

Jing Li thought for a while: "You stay, if he comes back, you know what kind of situation he will be in and can be easily dealt with."

As soon as Jing Li walked to the gate, she saw Lin Sanlang coming back with several sweaty children: "Sister, everyone has been found. We listen to you and don't run outside. We will play at home."

Jingli patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, dear, sister is going out and will come back later to bring you wild fruits to eat."

Jing Li didn't know where Huo Shen had gone, but if she didn't find him, she always felt very uneasy. She walked into the mountain aimlessly, looking for the route she took to fight the monkeys earlier.

Jingli was picking some herbs along the way, and suddenly saw faint traces of blood in the grass. The blood seemed to have a strong smell of blood, and it must have been left not long ago.

Jingli's heart skipped a beat: Whose blood is this?
