However, Butcher Zheng lay motionless on the ground.
The man thought that Butcher Zheng might have been drinking, and that his fat and strong body wouldn't be able to get up easily after falling.
He jokingly tried to help Zheng the butcher up, only to find that Zheng the butcher's head suddenly rolled to the ground, and blood spurted out.
"Ah! Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"
The man turned pale with fright and scrambled toward the door.
Ah Li came out of the house and looked at the original owner and her mother standing next to Zheng the Butcher's corpse. They thanked Ah Li and went into reincarnation together.
At that time, the source of their misfortune was the person in front of them.
Now that they have killed this person with their own hands, they have no time to stay any longer.
Soon, the man who had been terrified returned with Butcher Zheng's wife and many other people.
They surrounded Butcher Zheng, and no one noticed the extra Ah Li.
Ah Li was still thinking, now that Butcher Zheng is dead, shouldn't the others also get their comeuppance?
Just then, Ah Li felt a tap on her shoulder; it was Dong Yue, the original owner's mother.
She looked worriedly at Ah Li, then at the direction where the crying was deafening, and said silently, "It's none of our business, let's go."
In this life, some things haven't happened yet, so Dong Yue is still alive.
Ah Li nodded and left with Dong Yue leading her by the hand.
Soon, the officials arrived, looking for the so-called murderer. At that time, the man who had been following Zheng the butcher was sick, a disease caused by fear.
When the officials questioned him, he claimed to know nothing.
Ali continued to be a nine-year-old girl, while Dong Yue went out to find work.
She would occasionally move her small stool and listen to the woman cursing the officials for taking money and not doing their jobs, saying that they hadn't even caught the murderer after all this time.
One of the officers was pulled and tugged by a woman who pointed at his nose and cursed him, so she immediately handcuffed him.
However, as soon as the officers were handcuffed, they were surrounded by people.
Two of the six or seven constables were related to Zheng's wife, and they pleaded with her to prevent the constable from being beaten on the spot.
After that, the officials stopped paying attention to the investigation of the murderer.
Not only was it a thankless task, but if things went wrong, Zheng the butcher's wife would give him a severe scolding, so the matter was left unresolved.
When Zheng the butcher started to stink and developed lividity, he had no choice but to be buried, and the matter was dropped.
Zheng the butcher's wife didn't want her husband to die under mysterious circumstances, so she led a group of people to the county government office to cause trouble. As a result, she was beaten with dozens of strokes of the cane and imprisoned for a period of time before things calmed down.
Time passed by at a leisurely pace.
In recent months, Zheng the butcher's relatives and friends have all fallen and broken their legs, arms, or even landed face-first, their mouths full of blood.
They invited many Taoist priests to perform rituals, and burned many offerings and items for worship every day.
Sometimes the smell of smoke would drift over to Ah Li's side, and it was really pungent and choking.
Ah Li continued to be a child, but one day, a burly man appeared in their family's woodshed.
A man covered in blood, with a large knife beside him.
The man also noticed Ah Li, but Ah Li didn't shout or scream. She simply picked up a pile of firewood and left.
The man sat behind the firewood like a lone wolf; he didn't move.
Ah Li went to the kitchen to cook without a care in the world, seemingly unconcerned about the presence of a man in the woodshed.
Dong Yue leaves early and returns late every day to earn money to support her family, and she always comes back before dark.
After Ah Li finished cooking, she went to check on the woodshed again. The man was still there, but the bleeding on his body had stopped.
Ahri tilted her head. "Are you hungry?"
Before the man could speak, Ali brought in a bowl of noodles and said, "This is for you."
