In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

There were shouts in between.

"Quick, quick, quick! Stop him!"

"They're about to leave. They must be feeling guilty. Stop them!"

"Catch them quickly! Don't let them get away."

……

Xie Chengjin noticed something was wrong and wanted to speed up his pace, but Su Zhizhi pulled him to look back curiously.

None of them had expected that the person the townspeople were talking about escaping was actually themselves.

A group of townspeople came and surrounded Su Zhizhi and the other two, shouting and clamoring to prevent them from leaving.

The three of them exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. However, Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun subconsciously protected Su Zhizhi in the middle. However, Su Zhizhi pushed them aside, walked up to the townspeople, and asked, "Everyone, what happened? Why did it suddenly become like this?"

No one responded to Su Zhizhi, but everyone looked alert. There were a lot of people coming, and they surrounded the area tightly. Even if Su Zhizhi and the others wanted to break out, they couldn't do it.

The townspeople whispered for a long time before a leader emerged and explained to Su Zhizhi and the others, "A murder occurred in town today. Coincidentally, you guys wanted to leave right after the murder. Could it be you three who killed the person?"

The other townspeople also echoed it. Su Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted and looked speechless.

When they wanted to explain something, they saw that all the villagers were looking at them with suspicion and resentment, as if they were sure that they were the ones who did it.

Su Zhizhi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xie Chengjin. He pulled Su Zhizhi behind him and faced the townspeople calmly.

"Everyone, don't get excited. We didn't do this. Although we are outsiders in this town, we are new here and have no grudges against you, let alone killing anyone, right?" Xie Chengjin's logic was clear, but the townspeople would not believe him.

Seeing that the people around him showed no sign of backing down, Xie Chengjin had no other choice but to ask Su Zhizhi to make the decision. "Everyone, we are all saddened by what happened in this town. Since we have come to this town at this time, we will definitely not leave just like that. Please rest assured that we will not leave until the truth of this matter is revealed."

After hearing what Su Zhizhi said, some of the townspeople's expressions eased a little, but they still did not intend to give in to them.

But more townspeople would not believe what Su Zhizhi and the others said, and for a moment, the atmosphere was still very tense.

Shen Wenjun took a deep breath and said, "If you suspect us of being the murderer, then you must produce evidence. Besides, we are unfamiliar with the place and it is impossible for us to kill people at will, right?"

Su Zhizhi continued, "We've only been in town these past few days. Many townspeople must have seen us wherever we went. Don't you think it's shameful that you're trying to corner us passersby instead of looking for the murderer?"

No one knew what words angered the townspeople, but they suddenly became very excited and looked at Su Zhizhi and the others with increasingly unfriendly eyes.

The leader said something to the townspeople, and several young and strong men came out, pushed Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun aside, and picked up Xie Chengjin instead.

Xie Chengjin subconsciously fought back, but after all, he was facing a group of civilians, so he couldn't really cause any deaths, so he held back a little. However, the result of this situation could only be being outnumbered.

Xie Chengjin was eventually tied up by several people and taken out of the crowd.

Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun were both pushed to the ground. Shen Wenjun had wounds on his body. The man who pushed him seemed to have touched the wounds. He fell to the ground, gasping uncontrollably, in unbearable pain. His face was pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Su Zhizhi noticed Shen Wenjun's condition and hurried forward to check, looking at those people coldly.

But after seeing Xie Chengjin being taken away, Su Zhizhi had no choice but to stand up and wanted to go towards Xie Chengjin, but was stopped by several people.

"What are you going to do? Let him go!" Su Zhizhi shouted anxiously. She was very strong and the townspeople were not on guard, so Su Zhizhi broke through their defenses. It seemed that Su Zhizhi was about to touch Xie Chengjin.

But at this moment, she was grabbed from behind and could not move forward even half a step.

Su Zhizhi was anxious for a moment and subconsciously wanted to use the capsule, but Xie Chengjin noticed it. Although Xie Chengjin was shackled and walked forward, he still shouted: "Zhizhi! Don't be impulsive! I will be fine."

Su Zhizhi didn't believe what Xie Chengjin said at all, and continued to stare at Xie Chengjin and the townspeople. However, when she met Xie Chengjin's eyes, she saw Xie Chengjin shook his head calmly. Su Zhizhi had no choice but to grit her teeth, and let go of her hand. She watched dejectedly as Xie Chengjin's figure gradually disappeared in front of her.

The two of them had just been together for a short time when they were forced to separate again. Su Zhizhi couldn't help but doubt herself, but she knew that this was not the time to feel sorry for herself.

Xie Chengjin was taken away, but Shen Wenjun was still there. Shen Wenjun still had wounds on her body, and she couldn't just sit back and watch. She couldn't interfere with Xie Chengjin's side, and she couldn't just watch Shen Wenjun's injuries get worse.

Clenching her fists, Su Zhizhi returned to Shen Wenjun's side. At this time, the surrounding townspeople also dispersed in twos and threes, as if their purpose of coming here was to capture Xie Chengjin.

But think about it, Su Zhizhi is just a girl, and Shen Wenjun is a wounded soldier. No matter how you look at it, among the three, only Xie Chengjin has the greatest ability to kill.

Although the townspeople had dispersed, Su Zhizhi also realized that there seemed to be no place for them to stay in the town, at least they could no longer stay in the inn.

She checked the money in her hand, looked around, and decided to rent a yard first.

After Shen Wenjun was able to endure the pain, Su Zhizhi took the limping Shen Wenjun to look for an empty house in the town.

The two of them searched almost the entire town, and Shen Wenjun's face became paler and paler. Just when Shen Wenjun was about to reach his limit, Su Zhizhi found an empty yard.

After asking the owner of the yard, Su Zhizhi took out all his money to rent the yard.

The landlord naturally raised the rent. Su Zhizhi didn't think it was very reasonable at first, but considering that it was unknown how long it would take for Xie Chengjin to come out, Su Zhizhi still chose to rent the house, at least to give herself and Shen Wenjun a place to stay.

She had just checked Shen Wenjun's injuries. With injuries on top of injuries, he was no longer suitable for long journeys.
