âThis fire has no effect on me. Itâs fine,â said Jiang Ming.
As he was speaking, the horseâs owner came to Jiang Ming and the others. âIâm really sorry. My horse has caused trouble for everyone.â
He was dressed in black, and even his face was covered by a black cloth.
Jiang Ming and the others could not see his expression at all. They could only tell from his actions that he was somewhat apologetic.
Jiang Ming landed on the ground and stared at the horseâs owner. âThis horse can open its acupuncture points by itself. Itâs a smart horse.â
This was what puzzled him.
Logically speaking, how could a horse be able to open its acupuncture points by itself?
If not for the horse ownerâs interference, he would never have believed it.
The horseâs owner evaded the question. âWhat are you saying? This horse isnât very smart. It could be an accident, or it could be that you didnât set the acupuncture points properly.â
Jiang Ming smiled and said, âSir, you should know that horses canât unseal their acupuncture points by themselves. It must be done by someone. Or perhaps, someone wants to harm us.â
He felt that there was no need to continue like this. It was better to be direct.
Hearing this, the horseâs owner was instantly enraged. âWhat do you mean?â he snorted coldly. âIâve never thought of touching you. Arenât you going too far? Besides, I donât know you at all. Why should I hurt you?
âWho knows?â
Sikong Wuyuan defended Jiang Ming. âYouâve been coming at Jiu Zhu time and time again. Donât you want to hurt him? No one can explain this, right?â The horseâs owner could not help but feel a little irritated.
âMy horse has always been docile. How could it kill someone? Can you guys not be so unreasonable?â
âWho is the unreasonable one?â â Hmph!â Jiang Ming snorted. âl donât care why you attacked us. If I see this happen again, we wonât just let you know.â
âYou have a persecution complex, donât you?â
The horseâs owner cursed and turned to leave, feeling a little strange.
How did Jiu Zhu know that he wanted to kill him? He had not exposed his motives at all, and everything was done by the horse.
He actually put two and two together. Was he paranoid?
âIs this horseâs owner really trying to harm us?â Yuan Hehe asked in confusion. âCould it be a misunderstanding?â
Jiang Ming shook his head. âIf it was a misunderstanding, this horse wouldnât have come to me so many times. The direction the horse went was clearly the direction of the stall owner. However, in the end, it didnât look for the stall owner but me. How can a horse have such an accurate target? If no one is instructing it, it must have been trained to follow something that attracts it. Maybe itâs some sort of special fragrance. But I donât have anything on me other than this set of clothes. How can I attract the horse? Therefore, someone must have instructed it.â
The cowherd felt that it made sense.
âHe only said that we were in the wrong. He even said that you had a persecution complex. I think he just has a guilty conscience. Letâs go back quickly. Donât let some peopleâs evil intentions come true,â
Jiang Ming took the things he bought.
âLetâs not talk about this first. Itâs almost time for dinner. Itâs time to cook.â
However, when they reached the house, the cowherd could not find his mother. He kept knocking on the door. âMother, are you inside? Itâs time to eat. â
Thinking that something might happen to his mother, the cowherd kept knocking on the door. He muttered to himself, âMy mother never ignores me. Something must have happened. I have to hurry in.â
However, no matter how hard he tried, the door would not open. He could not help but feel strange.
This door could usually be broken open, so what was going on this time?
Jiang Ming looked at it and gestured to Sikong Wuyuan.
Sikong Wuyuan immediately understood and used his spiritual energy to knock open the door.
However, there was no one in the room.
There were only two rooms in their house. If both rooms were empty, it could only mean that his mother had disappeared into thin air.
âCould it be that she went outside to get something?â Jiang Ming asked.
However, the cowherd was about to collapse.
âImpossible. My mother doesnât like to go out. She usually leaves me a note or something when she goes out. She wonât do anything that worries me. Iâm afraid sheâs already been killed.â
He had no strength left and collapsed to the ground.
âThat old woman must have cursed my mother at home. Otherwise, how could such a thing happen to my mother?â
âYouâre too superstitious. She might have gone somewhere else. Stand up quickly.â
Sikong Wuyuan felt helpless and quickly helped the cowherd up.
âIâm going to find my mother,â he said through gritted teeth.
As he spoke, he ran away. He ran so fast that Jiang Ming almost could not keep up.
Then, he realized that the cowherdâs mother had died, and her corpse was hung outside the house.
However, when they first came in, they did not see her corpse at all.
The cowherdâs head buzzed. He was in disbelief for a moment. He fell down, tears flowing out of his eyes.
âMother, how did you die so tragically? Who killed you?â
Jiang Ming looked around.
âNow is not the time to be sad. The culprit must not have gone far.â
The cowherd began to speculate.
âIt must be that old woman who took revenge on me. I really did not expect her to be so vicious. She killed my mother. I definitely have to get an explanation.â
As he said that, he rushed out, but was stopped by Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan.
âWhat power can an old woman have? How could she have gotten past us? Itâs obviously someone else. Donât leave yet. Find that person first.â
However, the cowherd had already lost his rationality. He completely ignored them and ran out again.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming did not stop him. He said to Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe, âHe probably wonât find anyone. Let him search over there. Weâll catch them.â
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed past, and walked toward the door. It was extremely fast.
However, Jiang Ming saw it. He grabbed the person and retreated a little. He said coldly, âWhere do you want to run to? You killed his mother and still dare to be so impudent!â
With this grab, he suddenly realized that the person in front of him seemed to be very young. They were about the same age as the cowherd. Why would such a young person want to kill someone?
He dragged the child in.
âIâm just here to steal something. Why are you capturing me?â the child asked with a sad face..
