Everyone left, leaving only the village chief and Lao Qi's family staring at me from the window.
The village chief looked at me with squinted eyes and asked: "Xiaofan, where have you been today?"
"No, I'm just wandering around Mo Dou Mountain.
You said I have a stomachache.
How far can I walk, and back and forth."
I lied seriously, and it was a hundred kilometers from Mo Dou Mountain to the location where I found Peach Blossom Pond.
The round trip is more than 200 kilometers, and I went out in the morning and came back in less than twelve hours.
This speed is obviously not something ordinary people can achieve.
Even if you don't take a break, walking more than ten kilometers in an hour, and it's still a mountainous road, is quite strenuous.
According to ordinary people, being able to walk twenty kilometers back and forth during the day is already very impressive.
I just used this common sense to conceal the fact that I had been to Peach Blossom Pond.
The village chief glanced at Lao Qi's family, and Lao Qi said: "Village chief, you said that this child has gone out and can come back.
Obviously, you have no intention of running away.
It will have no effect if you lock him here.
He No, I still got out."
"What do you want to say?"
the village chief said angrily.
"I want to say that we should not let him live in my house.
Anyway, I have a free room in my house, and in our house, we don't have to worry about him escaping.
If he escapes, we are willing to take responsibility."
Lao Qi said, patting his chest.
I was stunned.
Lao Qi actually used their whole family to vouch for me.
The village chief looked at Lao Qi's family, then at me, then he thought for a while, sighed and said, "Okay."
I wanted to say something, but what can I say now?
I refuse.
Compared with this cell, living in Lao Qi's house is at least free, and at least it is convenient in all aspects.
It’s just that this favor is too big, and I have to get along with Mo Ran.
Oh my God, this With a creak, the iron door opened again.
The village chief stood at the door and said to me: "Xiaofan, come out.
Remember what I told you, be careful."
The village chief said that he knew that I was not the one who killed Captain Xiang and the others, and that he arrested me to protect me.
He wanted me to take the blame for the murderer, so that the murderer would not kill me.
It's just that this idea is too wishful thinking.
Besides, I'm not afraid.
Just let the murderer come, and I can just catch him.
I rolled up the quilt and cushion, held it in my arms, and walked out of the door.
"Child, come back with us."
Lao Qi smiled and patted my shoulder.
Mo Ran smiled, but her eyes were red.
I didn't come back before, and these people said they wanted to arrest me, which scared her to tears.
I forced a smile and followed the family of three towards their home.
Mo Ran was as happy as a little swallow, holding the dinner he had given me in his hand.
Back at Lao Qi's house, Aunt Qi said she couldn't eat dinner, so she went to the kitchen to cook some noodles for me, while Mo Ran took the quilt and entered the room to help me make the bed.
Lao Qi was boiling water and preparing to make Pu'er tea.

Then he sat face to face with me and concentrated on washing the tea sets.
I looked at his hands washing the tea sets.
Suddenly he looked up at me and said, "Xiaofan, I'm sorry."
"What?"
I was startled suddenly, recovered from my daze, and cheered up.
"I brought you to Mojiacun, but you were wronged.
It's because Uncle Qi didn't take good care of you."
His face was a little solemn.
"Uncle Qi, don't be like this.
Am I not doing well now?"
I didn't want Lao Qi to blame himself and feel guilty, so I said, "I haven't suffered any grievances.
Your family entertained me with delicious food and drinks all day long, and you were very kind to me."
OK, I'm grateful."
"But you were misunderstood by the village chief and locked up."
Lao Qi said.
"Then this is also caused by me going to be a guard.
It has nothing to do with you."
I smiled slightly and said, "But you must believe me.
I definitely did not kill Xiang Hao and others."
"Of course, you are such a good kid, so you wouldn't be the one to kill me."
Lao Qi chose to believe me without even thinking.
"Thank you for trusting me and vouching for me.
Don't worry, I will never run away.
I didn't kill anyone, so why should I run away."
I expressed my attitude to Lao Qi.
"Yes."
Lao Qi nodded, then poured me a cup of fragrant Pu'er, then he picked it up and took a sip, and then said: "From now on, you can go mining with us and stop running around.
That way they won’t doubt you anymore.”
Then at this moment, Mo Ran came out with their ink fountain in his hand, saying, "Dad, has our ink fountain been bitten by a mouse?
The tip of the surrogate mother is gone.
I'm all over the house."
I couldn’t find it even after looking around.”
"Nothing."
Lao Qi stood up suddenly, with a very surprised look on his face.
I was also shocked.
I didn’t expect that the person shot a concealed weapon at me to warn me to leave.
The concealed weapon he used turned out to be the substitute mother of Lao Qi’s family.
Who was this person?
I said in surprise: "Look again, it must have been bitten by a mouse.
This substitute mother is worthless.
If it was a thief, the whole ink bucket would be taken away, not just the substitute mother."
"Okay, I'll look for it again.
It's strange.
There have never been mice in our Mojia Village.
They don't even grow any insects, and we can't raise bees.

Where did the mice come from?"
Mo Ran turned around and walked in, muttering to himself. said.
But I listened to these words.
If it wasn't a mouse, it must be someone using the surrogate mother as a hidden weapon to warn me.
Lao Qi and I met each other's eyes, and neither of us blinked.
"Uncle Qi, the murderer is targeting your family."
I lowered my voice, fearing to scare Mo Ran and the others.
Lao Qi's eyes were also very solemn, and then he thought for a while and said: "He probably won't take action against us.
If he had to take action, he would have done it long ago, and he won't wait until now."
"That's different.
I was put in the cell and took the blame for him, so I didn't kill you.
Now that I'm out, he might attack you.
No, I have to go back now.
I can't I'll hurt you."
I stood up quickly.
"Xiaofan."
Lao Qi held me down at once.
"What's wrong?
This is it."
At this time, Aunt Qi came out with a face in her hands, and Mo Ran also came out.
They all looked at us in surprise.
Lao Qi winked at me, and I sat down.
They both said it was okay at the same time.
"Come on, eat the noodles quickly.
It's already so late.
You kid must be hungry."
Aunt Seven placed a bowl of fragrant noodles in front of me.
I took it and said, "Thank you Aunt Qi."
"Eat it while it's hot.
My cooking is no worse than this girl Xiaoran's.
It's full of ingredients and comes with two eggs."
Aunt Qi said with a hint.
Mo Ran's face immediately turned red after brushing it.
She looked at me with wide eyes.
My old face turned red and I hurriedly lowered my head to eat the noodles, not daring to speak
