“Why are there bloodstains on your body?”
Sikong Wuyuan noticed something strange and glared at the child.
The child’s heart skipped a beat as he tried to defend himself. “Maybe… someone in your family died?”
In the end, he pretended to be stupid.
Jiang Ming could tell he was lying and tied the child up.
“l don’t know how you did this so quickly, but I think you should apologize to the cowherd. You don’t have to explain yourself. We know what you did.”
“Look at my physique. Could I have killed her?” The child glared at him.
“Besides, my brain isn’t that mature and smart.”
This was the first time Sikong Wuyuan had heard someone talk about himself like that. He tugged at the child’s cheek and said, “Who knows if you’re a real child or a fake child?”
Yuan Hehe suddenly realized something. “The clothes you’re wearing are quite old-fashioned. Are you an adult pretending to be a child?” he asked.
Hearing this, the child was stunned. “What nonsense are you talking about?” he asked. “How can I be an adult?”
Unexpectedly, the cowherd suddenly returned at this time.
He took the time to sort out his thoughts and calm down.
“Aren’t you Niu Erlang from my neighborhood?” he asked incredulously when he saw the child. “Why are you here?”
” Niu Erlang killed your mother and still refuses to admit it,” Jiang Ming said. “He’s not a good person.”
Niu Erlang said incredulously, “Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t kill your mother.
You know how good she was to me. How could 1 kill her?”
The cowherd could not believe it either and spoke up for Niu Erlang.
“Niu Erlang has always been kind and had a very good relationship with my mother. He has been taken care of by my mother in many ways. It’s impossible for him to be her murderer.’
Yuan Hehe muttered to himself. “You can’t judge a person by his looks. Maybe he’s jealous of your family. How can you be so sure?”
“He killed your mother,” Jiang Ming insisted. “If you don’t believe me, he will kill you too. He only killed your mother because we arrived.”
The cowherd was confused.
“What kind of misunderstanding is this? 1 don’t think that’s possible.”
“That’s right. Get lost. Don’t hurt the relationship between us.” Niu Erlang huffed. “His mother helped me a lot. I would be shooting myself in the foot if I killed her.”
Jiang Ming did not say anything. Instead, he searched Niu Erlangs body.
The latter felt a little ticklish. “What are you doing? Let me go. 1 swear, l t d kill you if I could!”
The cowherd stopped him. “Jiu Zhu,” he said. “This must be a misunderstanding. Let him go.”
After the search, a dagger covered in blood fell from Niu Erlangs body. It was even wrapped in a piece of cloth.
However, as it fell, the cloth unraveled.
Seeing the dagger, the cowherd was stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and looked at his mother.
Her body was covered in cuts, and it was obvious that she had been cut with a dagger.
The cowherd suddenly lost his mind. He went forward and grabbed Niu Erlangs collar. He wailed, “My mother was so good to you. How could you treat her like this? She must have been in a lot of pain when she died.” By the end of his speech, his tears had already flowed out.
Niu Erlang did not expect that he would be caught and instantly threw a
smoke grenade. However, Jiang Ming and the other two were prepared for this, so Niu Erlang did not escape.
Instead, he was dragged back by Sikong Wuyuan. “Where do you want to run to? Hurry up and atone for your sins.”
“I’m going to kill you and avenge my mother!”
The cowherd’s eyes were already red. He picked up the dagger in his hand and slashed at Niu Erlang.
However, Niu Erlangs body seemed to have a layer of protection, and he could not cut through it at all.
Moreover, the cowherd was also forced to retreat by a violent force and fell to the ground. The dagger almost pierced his heart.
It was Jiang Ming who was quick to react. He took the dagger away. “What’s going on?”
Yuan Hehe looked at Niu Erlang in disbelief.
He laughed out loud.
“You can’t kill me at all. I have people protecting me. Even if you try to hurt me, you’ll only harm yourself.”
Jiang Ming remembered what the old woman said. He said, “Since 1 can’t hurt you, I’ll let you stay here. I want to see who will come to save you.”
The cowherd felt uncomfortable.
“I’m really useless. I can’t even avenge my own mother. My poor mother died after enjoying a few hours of happiness.”
Jiang Ming sighed.
Sikong Wuyuan went forward to check the cowherd’s mother’s pulse and found that she was still alive. He could not help but be pleasantly surprised.
“Hey, your mother is not dead yet. Come over and see.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming could not help but be excited.
If he could save the old lady, that would be awesome.
He checked the old woman’s pulse and immediately said enthusiastically,
“Hurry up and help her to the bed. I can treat her.”
When the cowherd heard this, he was also surprised. He quickly carried his mother back to the bed with Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming picked up the silver needles and cleared the Qi in the old lady’s body. Then, he tore up his sleeves to bandage her wounds.
The cowherd was still worried and asked, “Can you save my mother? Is my mother still breathing?”
“Don’t worry.” Jiang Ming comforted him while treating his mother. “We can definitely save her.”
Sikong Wuyuan was afraid that he would get in the way. He quickly pulled the cowherd down and said, “Don’t disturb Jiu Zhu. If anything goes wrong, your mother won’t be able to survive.’
Hearing this, the cowherd quickly covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly.
After a while, his mother slowly woke up, but she still felt pain all over her body. She couldn’t help but grimace. “Just now, someone wanted to kill me.
Fortunately, I was quick-witted and let him cut me in places that weren’t vital.
Otherwise, 1 would have died.’
Jiang Ming was a little curious about this old lady’s knowledge.
In such a remote place, how could she know which parts of her body were not vital?
There was probably something fishy about this village.
“Mother, you’re finally awake. You scared me.”
The cowherd quickly came to his mother’s side with a sad face..
