Chapter 29 Going down the mountain
By this time, the village chief also realized that Liu Ting was just looking for trouble.
So his patience ran out and he looked at Liu Ting impatiently and said.
"Then tell me, you insist on saying that Tao Zhiqing killed someone. How did Tao Zhiqing kill someone?"
Liu Ting's mind was blank at this moment. In the face of no evidence, all her words seemed pale.
I can only talk to myself.
"I really saw that as soon as Tao Zhiqing stood in front of the man, he collapsed and didn't even move."
"You said there's no blood in this place or that place, why is there no blood at all?"
When Liu Ting heard this, she looked at the place where the man had just fallen and said.
"I don't know why there was no blood, but the man fell down the moment Tao Zhiqing approached him."
When Tao Jin heard this, he realized that it was his turn to perform, and the next second he started shouting that he was innocent.
"Village chief, you have to make the decision for me.
I'm an innocent girl, and I caught a pheasant, and I'm accused of murder. Who can stand that? "
"Do you have evidence?
What makes you say you're here to catch pheasants?"
Hearing Liu Ting's question, Tao Jin raised the pheasant in his hand and said.
“This is physical evidence.”
The next second, another male voice was heard.
"Tao Zhiqing and I hunted the pheasant together."
Looking at Li Huijin who suddenly appeared, Tao Jin pointed at Li Huijin and said.
"This is a witness, so now I have both witnesses and physical evidence."
When Liu Ting heard this, she pointed at Li Huijin and said.
"You helped her to give false testimony. You were clearly not here just now."
Before Li Huijin and the village chief could say anything, Tao Jin threw the pheasant he had been holding in his hand for half a day to Li Huijin.
God knows how long she persisted, fearing that the chicken would suddenly go crazy and bite her.
Then he stood in front of the villagers and spoke to the group of onlookers.
“Dear uncles and aunts, you all know that after I came to Dafeng Village, I would even take a break while cutting grass for pigs.
Do you think I'm capable of shooting a pheasant?"
When the villagers heard this question, they all thought it made sense, and they gathered in groups of three or four and talked about it.
"Yes, this Tao Zhiqing doesn't look like someone who can catch a pheasant."
"Those of us who have lived in the village for decades wouldn't dare to guarantee that catching pheasants is easy."
"This Tao Zhiqing caught the pheasant without any help. Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway."
"Without Li Huijin's help, I don't believe Tao Zhiqing could have caught the pheasant."
Listening to the villagers' discussions, Tao Jin turned around and spoke to the village chief.
"Village chief, you know I'm just a weak little woman, how could I possibly catch a pheasant?
I just saw a pheasant at the foot of the mountain and chased it up the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the pheasant ran away so fast. If Comrade Li Huijin hadn't appeared in time and helped me catch the pheasant, I wouldn't have been able to do it! "
When the village chief heard this, he felt that what Tao Jin said made sense. After all, the pheasant was really caught in the hands of the two men. At this time, another voice sounded.
Lin Le and Zhao Jingshu came forward from behind the crowd and spoke to the village chief.
"Village chief, just now when the three of us were cutting grass for the pigs, we definitely saw Comrade Tao chasing the pheasant up the mountain."
Now that so many people are testifying for Tao Jin, Liu Ting seems isolated and helpless.
Even if Liu Ting insisted that something had happened to the man in Dashi Village whom she was about to marry, no one believed her.
The group went down the mountain together, and some villagers ran to Tao Jin to ask.
"Tao Zhiqing, how did you come across this pheasant?"
"Yes, Tao Zhiqing is a capable man. He can catch pheasants."
"Of course, Tao Zhiqing, tell us how you caught that pheasant."
The villagers in this village don’t really care whether anything happens to the people in the neighboring Dashi Village. After all, who wouldn’t be tempted by the real pheasant in front of them?
Tao Jin looked at the villagers surrounding him and said with an embarrassed smile.
“I’m lucky too.
I was cutting grass for pigs at the time, and I saw something moving in the haystack.
I put down the backpack, walked forward and saw the pheasant at a glance.
I said it was late, but it was fast. I chased the pheasant up the mountain, and I didn't expect it to run so fast. "
Upon hearing this, all the villagers agreed.
"Of course, pheasants run fast. Otherwise, how can they be called running pheasants?"
"Yes, but I still have to say that Tao Zhiqing has good eyesight. I've been here so many times, and I've never run into him."
Listening to the villagers' agreement, Tao Jin continued speaking.
"After I followed the pheasant up the mountain, the climb was so tiring that I could hardly walk.
Fortunately, I met Comrade Li Huijin, who immediately helped me catch the pheasant.
The villagers nodded repeatedly when they heard this.
"Comrade Li Huijin is indeed capable, of course. If you ask me, that's what soldiers have to offer in terms of physical strength."
"When I was young, my reaction was quick. Now I'm old, and my reaction is not as good as before."
Li Huijin followed Tao Jin with a pheasant in his right hand, watching Tao Jin chatting with the villagers around him. A rare smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.
The villagers looked at Li Huijin and wanted to chat with him.
But looking at his cold face, he still chose to go find Tao Zhiqing.
After all, what Tao Zhiqing described was very vivid, as if they had also discovered pheasants while cutting grass for pigs.
As the group reached the foot of the mountain, they met other villagers.
At this time, two villagers who had not had time to follow them up the mountain looked at them with hoes and asked curiously.
"Where have you been? Why are you guys coming down the mountain?"
"Tao Zhiqing caught a pheasant."
"Of course, Tao Zhiqing is a capable man."
Hearing this, the villagers who had not gone up the mountain looked at Tao Zhiqing with envy and asked curiously.
"This Tao Zhiqing is catching pheasants by himself, and you guys are going to help?"
When the villagers heard this, they waved their hands and said.
"Why should we help? We heard some people talking nonsense about the old carpenter from Dashi Village. He had an accident on the mountain in our village, so we went to take a look."
Hearing this, the man carrying the hoe put down the hoe and said in confusion.
"The old carpenter from Dashi Village, I just saw him returning to their village from this path."
"what?"
When the villagers and the village chief heard this, they all turned to look at Liu Ting.
Liu Ting was suddenly stared at by so many people and spoke in a panic.
"I don't know what happened, but I really saw the old carpenter fall down."
But no one listened to Liu Ting's excuses. The other villagers laughed and thought that Liu Ting was sick, and then left.
