Chapter 219: Escape from Death
Zhang Qiuying was amazed for a long time, and finally sighed: "I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Those two people are too brave and their hearts are too dark..."
When Bai and Feng Ershu had caused trouble in their shop before, they were only thinking about money and did not have the courage to kill anyone. When they saw the head of the pavilion, they crawled trembling like a sieve.
Qi Shen and Qi He were the worst. They not only cheated people out of their money, but they even thought of throwing a good girl into the river to kill her. They even dared to instigate the villagers to surround the county government office and go against the government.
Really, so...
Scary! Zhuang Qingsui smacked his lips several times, and finally blinked his eyes: "Now that the matter has been resolved, everyone knows that these two are liars who just want to cheat people out of money. I'm afraid that Daya is relieved now."
"Escape from death, I guess."
Mentioning this, Zhuang Qingning was filled with sighs.
This good girl had to suffer this disaster just because she did not fulfill the bad guy's wishes. Fortunately, the matter was resolved smoothly and she can live in peace from now on.
[This is also due to the host's credit. Because the host successfully completed the mission, he saved a life. ]
A certain voice in my mind sounded faintly.
It's rare that this time a certain Five didn't brag or boast, but instead praised her as the host. It's really rare.
[But I also have some credit for this. After all, it was me who assigned the host this task, so the host was able to do such a good deed.]
[Oh my, I am really an expert in making a fortune, and I am also an angel who does good deeds. ]
Can you take back what you just said? I really underestimated the nerve of a certain Five! Zhuang Qingning rolled his eyes at the Five.
[But it was mainly because the host completed the task well, so most of the credit for this matter still belongs to the host. ]
Seeing that Zhuang Qingning's face was not right, a certain Wu Dao knew the situation very well and stopped flattering himself.
[The host has completed the task and obtained the special mosquito repellent herbal bag formula*1, recipe: corn ribs soup*1, because the host accidentally saved a life, he obtained the spring breeze fragment*3, the host must continue to work hard to complete the task. ]
A must! Zhuang Qingning looked at the full harvest this time, narrowed his eyes and smiled, bound the formula of the mosquito repellent herbal bag, and unlocked the mosquito repellent herbal formula powder.
In her mind, she was planning to go to the pharmacy and buy a few packs of these things. She would put them by the bed at night and she would be able to completely get rid of the troubles of mosquitoes. ——And Zhou Daya, who was mentioned by Zhuang Qingning, was in the house, moving tables, stools, etc., and blocking the door tightly.
"Daya, block the windows too." Han reminded.
"Well, grandma, don't worry about it, I'll do it." Zhou Daya swiftly brought a chair, placed it on the windowsill, and locked it from the inside. In this way, even if it could be pulled open from the outside, people would not be able to enter the house for a while.
"That should be about right."
Zhou Daya looked at the doors and windows that were blocked tightly, brushed the dust off her hands, placed the kitchen knife on the whetstone, poured some water on it, and began to sharpen it carefully.
"Sharpen the protruding part and the sickle." Han said, "If anyone dares to do anything later, I'll hit them with the sickle."
"I just don't believe it. They really dare to do this to their death."
Han was so angry that she knocked the ground with her cane. "If they dare to come, I will protect you even at the cost of my life."
"Grandma." Zhou Daya sniffed and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Silly child, why are you crying? Grandma is already so old, half of her body is buried in the ground. If she closes her eyes and sleeps today, it's hard to say whether she can open them tomorrow. If I can protect you, my old bones will be of some use."
Han reached out and wiped the tears from Zhou Daya's cheeks: "Okay, okay, stop crying."
"If your grandmother is really gone, you should go to Zeng County and look for your aunt. Although your aunt's life is not easy now, at least she can give you food to eat. If you can ask her to find a good family to marry you to, I will feel at ease..."
"Grandma." Zhou Daya couldn't stop crying after hearing this. The tears fell down like beads with broken string. She hugged Han and burst into tears.
"Don't cry. You have no strength left to cry now. What are you going to do later?" Han said, "It's time to swallow all your tears. Save your energy and do what you need to do!"
As soon as Han finished speaking, there was a clang.
It seemed that the yard door was pushed open by someone.
Zhou Daya's face suddenly turned pale.
People are coming.
They wanted to take her away, dress her up, and send her to Cuiwei Lake to be the water ghost's bride.
Zhou Daya's heart suddenly rose to her throat and seemed about to jump out.
Then, noisy sounds came from far away and seemed like many people came from outside into the yard.
There was even a knock on the door.
"Daya, don't be afraid. Remember what grandma said just now." Han pinched Zhou Daya's palm.
"Yeah!" Facing Han's determined eyes, Zhou Daya nodded vigorously, her heart slightly calmed down, and she held the kitchen knife tightly in her hand.
Han also picked up the hoe and sickle next to him.
The grandfather and grandson were now on high alert, ready to deal with those who broke into the house.
"Miss Zhou, Aunt Han." Yamen runner Zhang Lin shouted outside, "I am a Yamen runner from the county yamen. I am here on the orders of County Magistrate Ding to tell Miss Zhou and Aunt Han that the story of the water ghost was a lie made up by Qi He and Qi Shen. These two people have been taken to the county yamen for questioning. Miss Zhou doesn't have to worry."
The water ghost was fake? Those two people had been arrested? That meant she didn't have to be taken away to be the water ghost's bride, and could continue to live her life in peace?
Zhou Daya was stunned for a moment, the kitchen knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, and she covered her face and started crying.
He cried loudly, without any anger, but only with the sadness of surviving a disaster.
The mournful tone in the crying was like a stone hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone in the courtyard heavily. Even Zhang Lin and others felt uncomfortable listening to it.
No wonder.
A little girl who lived with her grandmother and had been living a peaceful life was suddenly taken away to be the bride of a water ghost. She knew she was going to die, but she had nowhere to escape. One can imagine the fear in her heart.
At this moment, I am afraid that all the fear and worry that have been accumulated in my heart have been released.
