Chapter 7
Under the dim candlelight in the hut, the messy bloody handprints on the yellow mud floor looked extremely hideous.

The instinct of survival made Niu Er struggle continuously, and gurgling blood flowed from his belly to the ground, dragging out a long blood mark as his body squirmed.

The long arrow penetrated his back and emerged from his belly button, leaving a hideous cracked arrow wound on his belly.

At this moment, Niu Er's eyes had long lost the arrogance and domineering look of the past. His Dantian Qi was broken and he couldn't even cry out for help.

He never imagined that this little bastard who was usually submissive could actually do this to him!

Looking at Niu Er's miserable state, Wei Zheng felt an inexplicable desire for revenge in his heart.

"Woooo." On the earthen bed next to her, she was tied up with ropes and a rag was stuffed in her mouth. The girl in coarse clothes shrank, obviously shocked by this sudden turn of events.

The girl's name is Bai Ling'er, and she is the only daughter of Bai Orion who was killed in the mountains a few days ago.

Looking at the rusty scissors that fell on the ground and Bai Ling'er being tied up, Wei Zheng already guessed the reason why she was here.

Isn't he afraid that instead of avenging his biological father, he got himself involved instead?

His courage is commendable, but he doesn't realize his own strength.

At this moment, Bai Ling'er was looking at Wei Zheng with a face full of surprise. She really didn't expect that the one who could save her would be the weak son of Uncle Wei's family. What she didn't expect was that Wei Zheng could be so simple. Have you solved Niu Er?
"Please don't kill me. I'm sorry. If you kill someone, the government will come to arrest you."

Niu Er lay on the ground and tried to cover the bleeding wound with his hands, but it didn't help. The blood was flowing out between his fingers, taking away his vitality.

"Now that things have happened, do you still dare to threaten me?" Wei Zheng's expression was cold, he picked up the sharp bone-eliminating knife in his hand and stabbed Niu Er's calf!

"Ah" Niu Er's feeble voice came out of his throat.

"Tell me, why did you kill my father? And why did you kill Lao Bai?!"

"I" Niu Er had a look of hesitation on his face, and looked at Wei Zheng with trembling lips.

"You won't tell me, right?" A sinister smile emerged from the corner of Wei Zheng's mouth. He twisted the bone-picking knife in his hand into the wound. In an instant, the iron tool tore the flesh and blood, and the sticky sound of touching the bones was heard.

"I said! I said!" Niu Er's fat face was almost twisted into a twist, and tears continued to flow from his cheeks.

"Grandpa Wei, my brother Niu Da, he insists on marrying a cousin from a brothel and wants me to give him 30 taels of silver. I can't help it, just..."

After Niu Er stammered, Wei Zheng became furious and stabbed Niu Er's lungs with the sharp bone-picking knife in his hand.

"You're going to kill my father for a stepdaughter who lives in a hook bar!"

"Forgive me."

"Die!"

Poof!Another stab, severing the throat.

After Niu Er's frightened eyes lost their clarity, Wei Zheng, who was already covered in blood, wiped his face and cut the hemp rope tied to Bai Ling'er.

"Let's go."

After cutting the hemp rope, Wei Zheng didn't even have the interest to look at Bai Ling'er, so he turned his back and started rummaging around in the cabinet of Niu Er's house.

In fact, he was not only looking for belongings, but more importantly, perhaps to ease the impact of his first murder.

His hands were shaking.

The fishy smell of blood sticking to his face also made him gag.

For a moment, the only sounds left in this small hut were like the sound of mice rummaging through cabinets, and Wei Zheng's huge shadow covering half of the wall under the oil lamp.

After a long time, seeing that Wei Zheng showed no interest in her, Bai Ling'er moved her wrist and pulled out the tattered rag that smelled like rust in her mouth.

"Aren't you afraid that I will snitch on you?" Bai Ling'er's beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked at Wei Zheng's back, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

After hearing Bai Ling'er's words, Wei Zheng, who was untying the cloth bag, froze.

He turned his head, a sharp killing intent like a sword flashing through his eyes. "I helped you avenge the murder of your father, but you dare to go to the government to sue me? Do you believe that I really killed you?"

After saying that, the sharp bone-cutting knife in Wei Zheng's hand pressed against Bai Ling'er's throat as if he was thirsty for blood.

"Get out of here before I change my mind, as far away as possible!"

Wei Zheng's voice was decisive.

If he hadn't seen her innocent, he would have silenced her long ago.

Glancing at the blood-stained ground and the disemboweled body of Niu Er, Wei Zheng shook his head.

I am still too kind.

Bai Ling'er's expression froze, and a chill ran down her back.

Wei Zheng ignored her again and turned around to look for the cloth bag he found in the cabinet.As if he felt something in the cloth bag, Wei Zheng cut it open with a long knife, and several flat silver cakes rolled out of the cloth bag.

With ten taels of silver and two large coins, it seemed that Lao Bai's Orion Order had been sold.

After receiving ten taels of silver, Wei Zheng felt a little better, and then he slowly continued to speak.

"But since you are here, it means you are not a white-eyed wolf. Go back and don't make me regret it."

As Wei Zheng spoke, he ignored Bai Ling'er behind him and continued to rummage through the next cabinet.

But Bai Ling'er behind him didn't leave. Instead, she knelt directly behind Wei Zheng. Her little hands kept rubbing her coarse linen clothes, as if she wanted to think of something to say.

Wei Zheng ignored her.

After rummaging through the cabinet, he pulled out the iron arrow from Niu Er's body, looked behind the door panel and saw that there was no one around, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was about to leave after rummaging through his things, Bai Ling'er finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Wei Zheng, do you dislike me? My father is dead. You avenged me, and I want to live with you."

Wei Zheng frowned inexplicably.

Women now only affect the speed of their own archery.

But the rich woman can.

But you are not a rich woman.

Moreover, in his current situation, he cannot afford to support a woman.

Seeing that Wei Zheng still looked indifferent, Bai Ling'er finally became anxious.

"Wei Zheng, I can support you very well. If I can't, I can go farm and support you." Bai Ling'er lowered her head, her eyes were red, and she bit her lip.

"Uncle Wei is gone, and so are my parents. Both of us are homeless."

Wei Zheng still didn't speak.

Bai Ling'er's eyes dimmed.

"The silver cake in your hand was exchanged for my father's life. Now I have nothing."

Wei Zheng paused.

"Can you cook?" Wei Zheng finally spoke.

"Yes! Yes!" Bai Ling'er nodded quickly as if she was grasping a straw-like drowning person.

Kill someone and take a wife.

Wei Zheng felt that tonight was a bit strange.

In the night, Wei Zheng looked at the clothesline made of old vines kneaded together in the small yard.

The blood-stained coarse linen clothes had already been washed by Bai Ling'er and hung on the clothes drying line. Water drops were dripping onto the muddy ground.

Bai Ling'er didn't dislike the shabby home at all. She found a towel from home and wiped Wei Zheng's body carefully before wiping herself with the remaining water in the water tank.

Bai Ling'er's clothes were folded aside, with her back to Wei Zheng, with no intention of covering her body at all.

Forget it
It’s good to have a wife.

Lying on the prickly straw bed, Wei Zheng quietly looked at the dark blue night light coming from the drafty roof, and felt Bai Ling'er's even breathing beside his ears. Wei Zheng thought for a long time.

She doesn't mind that you are poor, that your family is bare, and that you are a fugitive murderer who is very likely to be caught by the government.

What more could you ask for?

Thinking wildly, Wei Zheng did not practice archery in the middle of the night for the first time in a long time, and fell into a deep sleep amidst Bai Ling'er's breathing.

Maybe it was because he was overly nervous or too tired. When Wei Zheng woke up, Bai Ling'er was already awake.

At this moment, she was carrying an old bucket unsteadily, pouring water into the water manger in the yard.

"I'll do it." After Wei Zheng got dressed, he walked out of the house, but as soon as he walked out, he was stunned.

I saw that the dirty water man had been brushed clean long ago, and a jar full of clean water was poured into it. I wanted to help, but it seemed that I couldn't help.

"How can I let you come? I can do it myself." Bai Ling'er smiled sweetly and wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand.

Wei Zheng looked not far away and saw the idle men in the village pointing at him under the big willow tree.
