Ji Jingbai was wearing a long black gown and leading a tall horse. As soon as he entered Anbo Village, he was recognized. A group of villagers surrounded him, talking non-stop——

"Are you shocked?"

"Jingbai, why are you not dead? We all thought you were dead."

"Ah, this is a horse, right? Have you made a fortune outside?"

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. If your wife knows about it, she will be very happy. After all, there can't be a man in the family."

"You don't know, right? You have a daughter-in-law. Your uncle helped you arrange it. She has only been married for a month. She is so beautiful. There is no one in this ten miles and eight villages who is more beautiful than her."

"Not only is there no one in the ten miles and eight villages who is as smart as her, but she has also conquered all the ten miles and eight villages!" An aunt got angry. "There is no one in the ten miles and eight villages who can be her opponent! What a crime. How long has it been?

Beating people all over, it doesn't look like a girl's house."

The aunt even tried to persuade her: "Jingbai, you have to be careful. Even if you think she's not good and want to divorce her, you have to speak up and don't do anything to her, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."

Hearing this, Ji Jingbai frowned almost invisible.

After listening for a while, and probably realizing how dishonorable his wife was, he said a few words politely, and then led the horse in the direction of his home.

Every step was as measured, no more, no less, and the eyes of the villagers were straightened.

Ji Jingbai's home is at the east end of the village.

There is a locust tree at the entrance of the yard that is more than 20 years old. The locust tree has lush branches and leaves. It is very tall, towering to the sky, and lush.

Before Ji Jingbai could get closer, he saw that the door of his yard was wide open and it was very empty inside. When he looked up again, he saw that the thatched roof of his house had collapsed with several large holes.

As if he didn't expect that his house would be in such a dilapidated state, he paused slightly.

There was no one in the yard, and there was no movement in the house. He looked around calmly, and then Ji Jingbai tied the horse to the protruding roots of the locust tree, unloaded a baggage from the horse and carried it inside.

courtyard.

The door of the main room was closed, but not locked. I just put the baggage into the room. But when I opened the door, I found that there were many kinds of crops lying on the floor of the main room. They were wearing rough cloth, straw sandals, and their mouths were blocked by cloth. Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.

Man, it's like a bandit's den.

Ji Jingbai was startled.

These peasant men were in great embarrassment and had already stopped struggling. When they saw Ji Jingbai, it was as if they saw the reinforcements. Their eyes lit up and they began to struggle fiercely again.

Ji Jingbai was just stunned for a moment, and was not in a hurry to let them go. He put the bundle on the table in the main room. He wanted to take the cloth from someone's mouth and ask what was going on, but he didn't have his hands yet.

Touching the cloth in the man's mouth, he saw that these people didn't know what they suddenly saw, their eyes widened, and they faced in one direction in horror.

The struggle became even more intense.

Involuntarily, Ji Jingbai looked along everyone's line of sight, and at a glance he saw a dazzling red dress on the big locust tree outside the yard.

Ye Guoguo was sleeping on the tree in red clothes. Because of her petite stature, she couldn't take up much space in the tree.

When she heard a horse neighing under the tree, she woke up and sat up.

She lowered her head and looked down and saw a horse under the tree. She was a little confused. Where did the horses come from in this village? There were no cows. The little girl rubbed her eyes with her hands, thinking that she had fallen asleep and had hallucinations.

Sensing that someone seemed to be looking at her, she couldn't ignore the sight. She tilted her head in confusion and looked towards the main room, where she met a pair of starry eyes.
