Starting from Orion, kill a Martial Saint

Chapter 8
News of the death spread very quickly in Xiaotang Village.

A naughty guy who followed Niu Er wanted to go to Niu Er's house to have some food and drink as usual, but as soon as he opened the door, he screamed out.

In less than an hour, this matter had spread throughout Xiaotang Village.

"Niu Er is dead!"

"Oh...who is so bold? Dare to kill Niu Er?"

"It's a disaster!"

As soon as this explosive news came out, even the fact that the daughter of Lao Bai's family was living in Wei Zheng's house for no apparent reason seemed less important.

Wei Zheng and Bai Linger tried their best to keep a low profile.

While everyone in the village was going to the entrance of the village and pointing at Niu Er's body on the stretcher, Wei Zheng and Bai Ling'er went to her house and moved some of the remaining things at home to their own.

Bai Ling'er's previous madness worked, and Niu Er didn't move her house out after all, but even so, there wasn't anything interesting in the house.

An old wooden table, an oil lamp, an earth bed that is about to collapse, a mess of pots and pans, and half a bag of japonica rice, this is all her family has.

Before closing the door, Bai Ling'er took a deep look at the home where she had stayed for 17 years, seeming to miss the past.

Wei Zheng didn't say much, he just moved the furniture and left, leaving Bai Ling'er to be quiet for a while.

A few days ago, this house was still a happy family of three, but now, with the last piece of furniture moved out, this once lively and warm little house has become extremely depressed.

In the afternoon, some nefarious person reported the matter to the police, and several officers wearing black official uniforms with swords on their waists came over. In Xiaotang Village, they began to inquire and investigate from door to door.

Not long after, two official servants with swords came to Wei Zheng's home.

Wei Zheng pretended to be frightened. As soon as the officer said Niu Er, he was so frightened that he held his head, squatted on the ground and kept whimpering.

Seeing the ruined family and their stupid son Wei Zheng, the villagers were noisy and talked about the situation of Wei Zheng's family.

The two officers felt quite uncomfortable.

This child is also pitiful. Needless to say, his father must have been killed by Niu Er.

How could such a fool who was frightened out of his wits by Niu Er have the courage to fight against Niu Er?
"Let's go, let's go to the next house." The leading official waved his hand, and under Bai Ling'er's surprised gaze, he left Wei Zheng's house and went to the next house to continue the investigation.

After the official left, Wei Zheng let out a sigh of relief.

The identity of fool is surprisingly useful.

He is a weak, dull, stupid boy, who would doubt him?
But even so, he is the biggest suspect.

That's why he gave Liu Tao a pair of bows and arrows yesterday, and he specially let everyone see that scene.

Needless to say, among the onlookers, there were naturally some rogues who followed Niu Er.

After creating a conflict between Liu Tao and Niu Er, his suspicion was actually smaller than that of Liu Tao, who had just been beaten and was full of blood.

Liu Lingling's family is not so easy to fool.

The villagers still remembered the fight between Liu Tao and Niu Ergang yesterday.

What's even better is that when they mentioned that Liu Tao just got a bow and arrow from the silly boy from the Wei family yesterday, the two officials didn't waste any time and just handcuffed Liu Tao and took him away.

It was euphemistically called going back to the county government office to investigate, but in fact, those official officials were definitely too lazy to come to this remote Xiaotang Village again.

This matter is probably settled in this way.

When he was dragged out of the house, Liu Tao was so frightened that he was as scared as a slaughtered pig. He kept shouting about injustice and grievances, which made the officer upset. Then he hit Liu Tao on the head with a knife. The man's head was bruised and bleeding, and he never dared to mess around again. shouted.

Seeing Liu Tao being taken away, Liu Lingling and her parents cried very sadly. Liu's father was old and Liu Tao was the only male in the family. They were afraid that the Liu family's life in the village would be difficult in the future.

The world is getting more and more chaotic. I heard that the rebels from the north are about to attack. There are continuous natural and man-made disasters. Here, killing someone is as simple as killing a wild dog on the roadside.

Those who can be found out will be handed over to the boss. As for those that are difficult to find out, or where the nobles in the city beat a few slaves to death, the government will not even care about them.

"Wei Zheng, it's time to eat." In the small courtyard, the aroma of cooking porridge came, and the rice was boiling and rolling in the pot.

Under the oil lamp, the two of them faced the table and slowly ate their first meal as a couple.

Bai Ling'er dug out a large bowl of rice porridge with rice grains for Wei Zheng, but in her own bowl, there were only a few pitifully few rice grains floating in it.

"You eat so little, how can you manage enough?" Wei Zheng casually turned the two bowls over. Bai Ling'er seemed a little anxious and quickly grabbed Wei Zheng's wrist.

"You are a man, eat more to gain weight."

"This is such an old thought. Men and women are the same. I hunted for meat in the past two days and I'm not hungry for rice."

Wei Zheng was a little dumbfounded. He was already eating from Bai Ling'er's mother's family. Why did he have the nerve to eat more?

Seeing that Bai Ling'er still had a stern face and didn't want the thick bowl of rice, Wei Zheng felt happy and distressed at the same time. It had just been a day since they got married, would he already love his husband?
He had to show his majesty as the head of the family.

"You can eat whatever you want!"

With that said, regardless of whether Bai Ling'er wanted it or not, he directly stuffed the bowl of thick rice in front of Bai Ling'er, while he picked up the bowl of porridge and took a big sip.

"Oh, wait then."

Bai Ling'er pursed her lips and seemed a little happy. She stood up and took another spoonful of blooming rice particles from the small pot and put it into Wei Zheng's bowl.

That's right.

Wei Zheng shook his head and chuckled, then picked up the spoon to dig out some rice soup.

Although I have been hunting in the mountains all day these past few days and have eaten a lot of meat, my carbohydrate intake is really not enough.

Now he could smell the aroma of rice soup and his mouth watered.

But Bai Ling'er interrupted him again, and then he saw Bai Ling'er rummaging in the small pocket he brought for a while, as if looking for some treasure, and took out a brown cloth.

Carefully cut off a small piece and put it into Wei Zheng's bowl. Then he packed his bag with satisfaction, sat opposite Wei Zheng, and scooped a large spoonful of rice grains into his mouth.

"This is."

The spoon stirred the small piece of cloth. After a while, brown liquid seeped out, and with the stirring, the white rice soup gradually turned into brown.

"Vinegar cloth?" Wei Zheng took a sip of rice porridge and felt the faint salty and sour taste in his mouth, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

How long has it been since I tasted salty food?
Bai Ling'er seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little tune while eating.

Before she got married, she always worried that her husband would not love others and had a bad temper, but now she realized that her worries seemed a bit unnecessary.

While eating, she secretly looked up at Wei Zheng opposite him from time to time.

She also looks very good-looking, especially her eyebrows, which look like swords.
Wei Zheng naturally noticed Bai Ling'er's little move, but didn't say much.

At this moment, he was thinking about his plan in his mind.

Niu Er is dead and Liu Tao is arrested. Without these two people, he can act with a higher profile in the future.

Not only for himself, but also for Bai Linger in front of him.

If the husband is weak and the wife is beautiful, there will naturally be unsighted people who will covet her.

There are quite a few single men in the village.
The next step is to save money and raise the tuition fees to go to a martial arts gym to learn martial arts.

I have the panel in hand, wouldn't it be a pity not to learn martial arts?

But thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but have a headache.

Learning martial arts requires 30 taels of apprenticeship fees, and he is just an ordinary hunter. Even with Niu Er's 20 taels of silver as a foundation, the remaining [-] taels are by no means so easy to fill.

Looking at the dark blue night shrouded outside the window and listening to the increasingly fewer calls of autumn insects, Wei Zheng's heart sank.

Winter is coming, and it’s time to prepare some food for the winter. And by the time winter comes, there will probably be less and less prey on the mountains.
