The Delicate Lady Coroner

Although the rain stopped, there was still a gray cloud on the sky. In the afternoon, the sky became darker and faster. The two yamen walked along the ridge to the mountainside for a while, and then passed through a small piece of dense forest. , And then went to the old tomb pile in the village.

The shade of the trees covered the sky and the sun became more and more dim and dim, and the two yamen clenched the sabers on their waists, feeling a little horrified in their hearts, and waited for the two to slowly walk into the graves. , However, before discovering the tomb here, there was no monument erected. Not to mention the stone monument, even the wooden monument was missing. Naturally, I couldn’t see the name of the owner of the tomb.

There are more than 20 tombs in this tomb, but there are no signs of people taking care of the worship. There is a lot of grass around it, and the grass is not over the knee, even if the tomb is also covered with grass. If it is far away, It is even hard to find a tomb here. The two yamen looked at each other for a moment. At this moment, a mountain breeze blew over. The grass and woods were all rustling, and they were so scared that they ran out together and ran out in one breath. When they arrived at the ridge, the two breathed a lingering fear, and then they came back to look for Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang has taken everyone to the second empty house to search. When he saw Wu Xiang, a government official said with a grimace: “Catch your head, go and see. There is no inscription on the tomb, but there is not even a wooden tablet. , I can’t tell who the owner’s name is.”

Another said: “There are no inscriptions on the tombs in that cemetery.”

Wu Xiang heard it in his ears, and there was a coolness in his back for no reason. He turned around and saw what Bo Ruoyou was thinking about. Perceiving his gaze, Bo Ruoyou turned around and said, “In the village. Most of the funeral customs are quite old-fashioned, and the place is not so poor that it is impossible to erect a monument. Therefore, this inscription is probably deliberately erased.”

Bo Ruoyouben was standing at the entrance of the hall. At this moment, she walked a few steps outside. She looked at the surrounding mountains on three sides and said slowly: “This is Heishui Village, but if we come that day, Granny Zhang will tell us that this is Baishui. The village is Chishui Village, and we will all believe it. Although this place is not far from the capital, there are just a few households in a small col, and it is not an important way of transportation. If they don’t bring in people from outside the village, it will only take a few years. No outsider will come here once.”

Wu Xiang stared at him and said, “You mean–“

Bo Ruoyou said quietly, “I was thinking that the owner of the house did not move away, but disappeared, and the inscriptions on the surrounding deserted graves were erased. I am afraid that some people do not want others to know who originally lived here. “

The few government officials around were shocked, and Wu Xiang also nodded, “This is indeed the truth. This place is isolated from the world. As long as they can justify themselves, we will let them coax, but why don’t they want others to know this? Who originally lived in this place? Could it be said that this place was not originally Heishui Village?”

Hou Yang shuddered as he heard it, “If this is not Heishui Village, could it be… Could it be that the Guzhang Village we were looking for failed?”

Wu Xiang twisted his eyebrows, thinking but did not answer, Bo Ruoyou said: “The plague in Guzhang Village occurred more than ten years ago. The hair and human bones of the dead that we only discovered are things that are more than ten years old in my opinion. , But it should not be Guzhang Village.”

Wu Xiang looked at her, and Bo Ruoyou said: “After the incident, the government still disturbed the government. In the end, the government came to the village to collect the corpses and dealt with the plague after treatment. It is conceivable that many government officials came to the village. In this village, since this is the case, it is impossible for this village to change its name casually and make everyone think that this is not Guzhang Village.”

Wu Xiang nodded, “This is the truth. Granny Zhang said that the government had discovered the plague in the village and sent someone to collect the corpses.” At this point, Wu Xiang sighed, “This matter still has to go to Qinshui County Office. It’s—”

He looked at the people in front of him. He wanted to send someone to the Qinshui County office immediately, but he felt that there was not enough manpower at the moment. He only brought out seven offices. Now the house in the village has not been searched. If he sends people away, there will be fewer people left, and there are many weird things in the village, he is also afraid of accidents, especially Bo Ruoyou will follow, he definitely can’t let her be in danger again.

Wu Xiang dispelled the idea of ​​sending someone to Qinshui County at this moment, and ordered: “Search quickly, this is not easy. If we find enough material evidence, we can get people—”

The government officials dispersed in response. Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone’s movements became more agile.

Bo Ruoyou thought about it carefully, and looked at these houses again. Seeing that her face was condensed, Wu Xiang asked, “What did you think of? Old Wu, I took a few years to do the work, and I was good at searching, but sometimes After all, it’s a bit thicker, some twisty and weird place, what I find is always not fast enough, if you think of anything, just say it.”

Bo Ruo said quietly: “In the morning when I caught my head and said that the vacant house was already in one place, I felt weird. Even if someone moves out of a village, it is impossible for these households to move together. I am gone, and now human bones are found in the house. I guess the owners of these houses should not have moved away, but have been murdered.”

Wu Xiang twisted his brows slightly, “These are four or five empty houses.”

There are four or five families, each of which has more than one person, and there are more than ten or twenty people in total, but they only found a few human bones. It would be really frightening to conclude from this that they were all murdered. .

Bo Ruoyou said, “At least one or two households were murdered, and the tomb was erased with the inscription. Is that cemetery just the ancestral grave of these households?” She frowned, “This village is now in this village. With the surname Zhang and Wu, I heard that most people in the same clan and clan in the same village are very united, but if there are other clan in the village, internal fighting will arise.”

Wu Xiang said, “You mean, these few disappeared families may have been murdered because of internal fighting in the village?”

Bo Ruo faintly nodded, “This is a possibility, because the things in their house appeared in other people’s homes. I guess it was after internal fighting. When people died, other people divided up the finances of these families.”

Wu Xiang didn’t know what to think of, and suddenly said: “What you said is not unreasonable. I have seen such cases. There were battles between different clans in the same village, and there was a murder case in the back fight. But if you said, they were cruel, It would be too cruel to kill all these households.”

Wu Xiang said while looking in other directions, “The Wu brothers and sisters and the Zhang brothers seem to be honest people, and the old couple, it will be difficult for them to survive in the future, and then there are Zhang’s family and Wu Banshan Wu. Mother-in-law’s house, can they get such a cruel hand?”

The brothers and sisters of the Wu family are sick, but the elder brother is full of honesty. The old couple and the old woman are in bed. The old man is one-armed, and the Zhang family brothers are also honest and honest. They also take the initiative to dig the way for them. They are all simple and kind villagers, and they are not the generation without houses. What are they fighting for to the point of killing other people’s whole family?

Bo Ruoyou thought this way, and felt that this kind of speculation was too cruel, and she frowned, “If it wasn’t because of internal fighting and murdering people, why did these few families happen to be missing?”

Wu Xiang held his waist knife tightly, and felt that this small mountain village was not only foggy, but also a bit fierce. He said in a deep voice, “I don’t know how many people have died. Right now I have to find the remaining bones. People came down to the cellar from time to time, I was afraid to take away the bones, because I saw that I went out the door in the morning and visited this house while wandering around the village.”

Bo Ruoyou nodded, “If the bones are taken away, they will probably be placed in a safe place. Although there are only bones left, there is also a small pile of bones of an adult man, which is not easy to hide. If there is more than one, there should be more bones hidden somewhere in the village, which is not easy to search.”

Although the village is not big, there are many farmland, ponds, and forests around it. If you want to hide the corpses on these three mountains alone, you don’t know how many corpses can be buried.

Wu Xiang had a headache. “The case in the mountains is so difficult to handle. The land is so large and there are few people. It’s too easy to hide something.”

Bo Ruoyou said: “It doesn’t have to be buried in a place where no one is left. The corpse in the cellar is the best proof. After murdering people back then, the corpse could have been taken to the mountain and buried, but the murderer However, he chose to leave the body in the cellar, indicating that the murderer had anticipated that no one would go to the house to conduct a careful search. He was quite confident and never considered it completely. With this intention, most of the corpses of other people are also the same. Dispose of it like this.”

Wu Xiang sighed, “It’s just that I don’t know the identity of the deceased at the moment, and it is difficult to infer who the murderer is. The Zhang brothers who are most suspected have been ruled out, and there is no direction to find at the moment.”

Bo Ruoyou also sighed helplessly. She turned around and looked at this empty house. After a while, the government officials filed out, but they didn’t notice it.

Wu Xiang made a decisive decision, “Go to the next house.”

There was nowhere to go up and down the empty house. Half of the roof of one of the houses collapsed and was abandoned. Wu Xiang took people in to check it out. Seeing that the walls in the house were half down and covered by weeds, he went back to the house. Went to the last one.

The farmhouse here is the lowest-lying location. Although the rain has stopped for most of the day, the water in the courtyard has not receded. Wu Xiang took the squad into the water and still saw a pair of broken doors and windows.

The yamen entered into the dust cobwebs. Not long after, a yamen whispered in the interior room, “Catch the head, there is a discovery!”

Wu Xiang immediately turned around and went to the inner room. When he reached the inner room, he saw a bed frame that fell apart and a pile of dirty cloth that looked like a drapery piled on the ground. Wu Xiang walked over and pointed at it. The scattered bed frame said: “Catch your head and look at it. Are there knife marks on this?”

The wooden planks on the bed frame are no longer visible. Only the wooden legs of the bed frame and the four bed posts are lying on the ground. The place is quite damp and the wood is heavy, but it is not eaten by insects, but on the bottom of the bed post. Wu Xiang saw several very obvious knife marks at a glance. He was not good at identifying the scars on the corpse, but he was very good at identifying the marks on the wood.

“It’s the knife mark–“

The wood did not rot, so the old knife marks were left behind by Qing Xi. Wu Xiang pulled out the sword on his body, printed it on and compared it, and was more certain, “It’s still a long knife with a rather sharp edge, just cutting it. The blade that came up was a bit uneven, it shouldn’t be a very polished weapon.”

He twisted his eyebrows, “It may be a farm item, such as a hatchet.”

This bed frame is made of birch wood. It was originally milky white and yellowish. After years of discarding, it was covered with mildew spots, and the color of the skin changed to yellow-brown. Wu Xiang carefully looked at the cutting edges. Soon a few strands of hair-shaped objects were found under a pile of sloppy wood, and he hurriedly asked the yacha to invite Bo Ruoyou in.

When Bo Ruoyou entered the door, Wu Xiang said: “Xiaobo, come and see, there are many cuts on this bed frame, and some hair falls in the corner. Come and see if this recognizes the hair.”

The hair is only three to five inches long, and the tentacles are also fragile. At first glance, it has been on the ground for many years, and has lost its tenacity. After Bo Ruoyou examined it, he nodded, “It’s human hair.”

Wu Xiang’s eyes sank, and he pointed to the wood on the ground and said, “This is a bed frame that has spread out. A few cuts have been found on it. I counted twelve in total, most of them on the pillars, and two more. On the horizontal frame of the bed, the blade of the knife that left marks is sharp, but the blade should be a bit rough, and the blade is extremely wide, and the front and rear edges are the same. It should be a long knife. I guess it may be farmer’s firewood. Knife.”

After talking about it, Wu Xiang was afraid of thinness, and he said, “This is birch furniture. The birch wood is soft and the cut is generally quite smooth. However, if the tool plane itself is not flat enough, it is easy to leave scratches on it. “

Bo Ruoyou appeared in a daze, then knelt down to check, “How can there be so many cuts on the bed frame——”

Wu Xiang turned his eyes and looked around the house. There was an inch of dust on the ground, the doors and windows were decayed, and the cobwebs were densely packed around. There was also a lot of debris on the ground. In addition to the bed frame, there was also a missing leg. The chair, but the other objects disappeared like the other houses. Wu Xiang said: “It is very likely that there has been a fight here. It stops before it breaks, and there is absolutely no possibility of cutting wood for firewood or using it for other purposes.”

There is no shortage of firewood in the mountain village, and the bed frame, tables and chairs are scattered, and it seems that they are too lazy to repair, so they simply abandon it here, but all the other intact things are taken away. Bo Ruoyou followed all the way and looked at it. Understand that everything that can be left in the house is tattered and discarded, and human bones, human hair, and the knife edge left by this fight make her more sure of her guess in her heart.

“If there has been a fight here, most of the head of the household has already been killed. Most of this person’s hair was chopped off during the fight. There may be blood stains. It’s just that after so many years, the blood stains have long been covered and disappeared, and it is hard to find. See you.”

The room was too wet, not to mention blood stains, but the scratches on the ground were hard to distinguish with mildew. Wu Xiang said: “It’s okay, it’s enough to have this knife edge, you can leave such a deep mark with a knife. It must be a powerful person. According to the calculation of more than ten years, it is possible that the Zhang family brothers, the Wu family eldest brothers, and the son of Granny Zhang are even the one-armed old man.”

After a pause, Wu Xiang said again: “Mrs. Zhang said that these families moved out because the children in the family moved away. This is a lie, so we don’t have to make any other guesses. Besides, what Ms. Zhang concealed. , I’m afraid that other people in the village will also know about one or two. This is not the possibility of one person or two being killed. If there is a problem with the disappearance of these households as you said, then everyone else is united. As a result, what they said was not credible.”

More than ten years ago, among these people in the village, the women did not say anything, but the men were all young and middle-aged. The Wu family brothers and the Zhang family brothers were both in their teens and 20s. They were both agile and powerful. At that time, if they wanted to do evil, it was not impossible, but Wu Xiang still couldn’t figure out why these people could unite to do evil. Is it really a clan struggle?

At this time, the sky was already dark outside, and it was going to be dark. Thinking of staying at Granny Zhang’s house tonight, Wu Xiangding said: “Going to Granny Zhang’s house tonight is still the same as asking for sacrificial rituals. Nothing else is necessary. To mention more, I have to look more carefully at Granny Zhang’s house to see if there are other clues, especially the clothes of the women you saw on the first day.”

There are more and more suspicious points. Human bones and humans like this and other physical evidence representing human homicide cases have appeared. Wu Xiang has regarded the people in the village as suspects, so he is more vigilant and careful. As it should be, the group took a look in the empty house again, and then left here to return to Granny Zhang’s house.

Although Wu Xiang didn’t want to stun the snakes, the village was so big. They seemed to be under the supervision of the villagers in their every move. When she returned to Granny Zhang’s house, her expression was no longer as natural as she had been in the previous day.

Wu Xiang said in a big way: “Mother-in-law, there is something weird in your village.”

Granny Zhang’s expression changed slightly, her eyes with sunken eyes looked at Wu Xiang with some caution, and Wu Xiang said, “Except for your grandchildren, no one else has children, and there are even unmarried people. This is too strange. It’s pretty good right now. In a few years, the old couple in the east is afraid that they won’t be able to eat. How can the other families get old when they are old?”

Granny Zhang didn’t expect Wu Xiang to ask about this place. She breathed a sigh of relief and said: “It’s difficult, there are very few young people going outside here. There are only one or two girls in the village, so they don’t want to marry. Daughter-in-law.”

Wu Xiang smiled, “Fortunately, your children went out to find a livelihood, so your daughter-in-law is a foreigner?”

Granny Zhang nodded, “Yes, she is a foreigner, and also a child who is struggling. She was already sick. After she married and gave birth to Yu’er, her body was even weaker, so she died early.”

Granny Zhang finished speaking and glanced at the sky outside, “It’s going to get dark, you have to stay one more night, do you want the old woman to prepare meals for you?”

Wu Xiang wanted to say no, but looking at Granny Zhang’s slightly expectant eyes, he nodded again, “Also, please give me a little bit of trouble, just cook something to deal with, and we’ll give you enough money.”

Granny Zhang twitched her lips, “Okay, the old lady will go cooking now.”

Granny Zhang took Zhang Yu into the kitchen. She was going to make meals for many people tonight. After she was busy, Zhang Yu became bored. After a while, he came out and squatted at the door of the kitchen with firewood sticks to poke on the floor. Huang Niwan saw this scene when Bo Ruoyou came out. She turned around and went into the room, came out for a moment and beckoned to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu looked at her for a few moments, got up and walked towards her.

Bo Ruoyou gave him two more snacks. Zhang Yu saw that the bottom of his eyes lit up, clapped his hands to take the snacks, and ate with small bites. Bo Ruoyou took him and sat on the wooden pier at the door. Zhang Yu was more relaxed when he saw this.

The two dim sums were not much, Zhang Yu quickly finished eating, and Bo Ruoyou looked at him again, “Do you still want to eat?”

Zhang Yu’s eyes were bright, and he nodded for a moment.

Bo Ruo smiled quietly, got up and went into the house, and quickly walked out with a food container filled with snacks. She directly gave Zhang Yu, “Take it and eat it yourself.”

It seemed that Bo Ruoyou treated him so well, so Zhang Yu was stunned and then took the food box. He took out a piece of chestnut cake and ate it carefully. The night was over, and only the light in the hall was spilling out at the door. With a little gleam, Bo Ruoyou sat on the wooden pier and looked at Zhang Yu, his brows were gentle, and he didn’t ask much.

Not long after, Granny Zhang discovered that he was missing, and she stood at the door and shouted. Zhang Yu stood up abruptly, but she was at a loss holding the food container, and Bo Ruo smiled quietly, “Take it and eat.”

Zhang Yu wrinkled his face and hesitated for a moment, then cautiously took the food box into his arms and walked to the kitchen.

Bo Ruoyou watched him leave before turning around and entered the house. In the wing room, Wu Xiang and others were full of sorrows, worrying about today’s case. Bo Ruoyou also knew it was difficult to do, and could not persuade him for a while. After a while, Mrs. Zhang made the soup and brought it into the hall, and Wu Xiang greeted everyone to come out and eat.

He didn’t intend to use the meals of Granny Zhang’s house, but today is the second day, and the dry food is not enough. More importantly, Granny Zhang seems to be very proactive in wanting to cook for them, and Wu Xiang simply obeyed her wishes.

The soup cake was placed on the table. It was an ordinary peasant meal. Wu Xiang first held a bowl, only to see Granny Zhang standing aside and looking calm, so he was relieved. He had been walking outside for many years, although he was not good at medicine. However, he has a lot of knowledge about the common medicine and Mixiang. He smelled the scent, and after noticing that it was normal, he praised a few words before he started to eat it.

Others used the same when they saw it. Zhou Liang gave Bo Ruoyou a small bowl and put it into the wing. Bo Ruoyou was more pharmacological, and he was relieved to see that there was indeed nothing in the soup cake. After dinner, Grandma Zhang brought it As Zhang Yu went to rest, Bo Ruoyou and the others were tired for a day, and they did not care about that many, lying down in the wing.

Bo Ruoyou was rather uncomfortable, leaning against the corner for a long while before falling asleep, just so confused until the latter half of the night, she suddenly heard a soft noise from the door of the room, and she immediately woke up when she was lightly asleep. Just about to get up, Wu Xiang pressed her to the side. The room was pitch black and he could barely see the figure in front of him. Wu Xiang gestured to her and silently waited for the movement outside. Soon, they heard it. The voice of Granny Zhang being discharged from the hospital.

It was already late at night, why did Granny Zhang leave in the middle of the night?

The snoring noises kept in the room one after another. The government officials could not be more alert than Wu Xiang. They were all asleep. Wu Xiang gave a “hush”, and then went out lightly. Bo Ruoyou was a little worried, but realized that this time only Wu Xiang alone is the most sure thing to follow.

When Wu Xiang followed out, Bo Ruoyou was no longer sleepy. She sat up, and felt that the crowd in the wing was very depressed, so she got up and went into the hall. Originally, she just wanted to breathe in the hall, but she just got up. When I went out, I saw a small black figure standing at the door to the inner room. Her heart jumped very quickly, and then she realized that it was Zhang Yu.

She took a step forward, “Zhang Yu?”

The shadow moved, and then murmured something softly. Bo Ruoyou was sure it was him, and walked forward with a sigh of relief, “Why didn’t you sleep?”

She wasn’t sure if Zhang Yu saw Wu Xiang following out, her tone was a bit hesitant, but Zhang Yu shook her head and said nothing, Bo Ruoyou’s heart moved slightly, “Did the mother-in-law go out? I just heard the movement…”

Zhang Yu’s expression in the dimness was not real, but he didn’t mean to reject her. Bo Ruoyou was relieved and asked, “Why did my mother-in-law go out so late?”

Zhang Yu dropped his head and said nothing.

Bo Ruoyou looked at him for a moment and didn’t say anything. She just turned around to leave. She just wanted to open the door a bit, but Zhang Yu misunderstood what she meant. He grabbed Bo Ruoyou and said, “Don’t go—”

Bo Ruoyou turned his head, Zhang Yu said with a childish voice but a little fearful: “Don’t go, mother-in-law won’t let go, go…go for the meeting…”

His voice was as thin as a mosquito, but he was trembling slightly, and Bo Ruoyou’s heart moved slightly, and he turned around to speak nicely with him, “What will happen if I go?”

Zhang Yu’s lips were pressed tightly, and after hesitating for a while, he whispered softly: “If you go, you will be punished.”

“Punished?” A strange feeling struck Bo Ruoyou’s heart.

Zhang Yu let go of Bo Ruoyou and took a step back, seemingly reluctant to continue, but Bo Ruoyou felt that there was a secret that Zhang Yu was about to reveal. She couldn’t help holding him, “Can you tell me what punishment is?”

With her gentle voice, Zhang Yu frowned and fought again between heaven and man, and finally raised her head and said: “If you suffer… People are being punished, you, don’t go—”

After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he had done something wrong. He broke away from Bo Ruoyou’s hand and ran back to the inner room.

The punishment of heaven.

These four characters have no beginning and end, but they are quite intimidating. At first glance, they look like an adult scaring a child. But when Bo Ruoyou hears these four characters, the question that has been lingering for a day and night in his heart is abrupt. untie.

When she was young, she followed the medical books read by her mother-in-law and jumped into her mind. She clearly recalled what is the punishment of heaven. It was not the punishment used by the gods in the legend, but an extremely terrible one, which can be called It is a catastrophic disease. People who get this disease will die, but they will suffer from abnormal changes in their hands, feet and limbs, and they will suffer lifelong disabilities. The most terrible thing is that this disease will infect people without warning and there is no cure. .

Granny Zhang’s deformed legs, the worm-like violent blood in the hands of Wu’s sister, and the Guzhang Village where the whole village was killed by the plague…Bo Ruoyou’s back was chilled, and a terrible thought suddenly came into his mind.

She couldn’t settle her mind anymore, and almost immediately turned around and entered the wing, lit the Huozhezi, and woke everyone up. Everyone opened their eyes sleepily, only to see Bo Ruoyou standing alone, all a little confused.

Bo Ruoyou said tightly, “Everyone is awake, things are a little bad. In the daytime, we have doubts in my heart. It is urgent. Don’t sleep.”

Hou Yang stood up first, took a look at the room, and immediately found that Wu Xiang was missing, “What did the Bo girl find? Where did the head catcher go?”

Bo Ruoyou said: “Suitable Granny Zhang sneaked out of the door, and Wu Catcher followed. Zhang Yu also got up just now. She told me one thing. Granny Zhang always told him that if he doesn’t obey, he will be sentenced to heaven. Punishment—”

Hou Yang hadn’t reacted yet, “What’s wrong with this? Didn’t Granny Zhang scare him?”

Bo Ruoyou shook his head: “No, if the people in the village don’t suffer from a strange disease, I can still treat this as a joke to kid children, but I have seen a strange disease in a medical book. The disease is extremely In the place where the world has appeared, almost all the people can hardly survive. Then there is a saying in the shop that the disease is called the “Heaven Punishment”. I suspect that the punishment for the Heaven Punishment that Mrs. Zhang said was the plague in Guzhang Village back then. , And the reason why Granny Zhang and other people in the village got sick and disabled was precisely because they had been infected with the plague back then.”

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, and Hou Yang said, “Are they from Guzhang Village?”

Bo Ruoyou was not sure, “Either the people of Guzhang Village escaped, or they have been infected with the disease because of something else. In short, the secret they want to hide must be related to the disease, and if Guzhang Village believes in the God of Water If God is also related to the epidemic, then everything is explained. Most of them have been infected with the epidemic, and the babies found on the banks of the Luo River must be inseparable from the people in this village.”

After speaking, she said a little anxiously: “I just remembered the epidemic. Wu Hutou followed Granny Zhang out, but I don’t know where he went, and I don’t know if there will be an accident.”

Hou Yang immediately said, “I’ll go out and check!”

Hou Yang asked a brother to go out together, but Bo Ruoyou was a little uneasy, and soon when the two of them came back, the road outside was already dry, and it was not discovered that Wu Xiang and Granny Zhang had gone a moment ago. Which direction.

Upon hearing this, Bo Ruoyou felt that his heart sank into the valley.

Hou Yang soothed: “This young grandson is still at home, she won’t go far, and the head catcher can come back soon.”

Bo Ruoyou had to comfort himself like this.

But she said that Granny Zhang went out and never went to any house. Instead, she walked along the path to the northwest. It had rained during the day, and the sky had no stars and moon tonight. She could barely see her fingers, but she didn’t hold the lamp or the light. Huozhezi went so far as to discredit the mountains and forests. Wu Xiang followed him away for fear of losing sight of people, and when he followed him, he was afraid of being discovered. After half of the work, he realized that Mrs. Zhang had actually done so. Go in the direction of Heishuitan.

In this way, in the middle of the night, an old lady walked to the pool in the woods to discredit him?

It is not convenient for Granny Zhang to limp, but she seems to have walked the road thousands of times, and her slender figure is wrapped in a large cloth shirt. When the mountain breeze comes, it is as scary as a ghost. Wu Xiang followed. Although he knew that he was following a person, he could go farther and farther, and even his heart was a little confused.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, Wu Xiangwei walked to the black water pool a few times, and when he approached, he suddenly found that there was not only Granny Zhang beside the black water pool, besides her, there were a few others who were also ghosts. Generally stand on the edge of the pool.

Wu Xiang didn’t dare to come close, he just squatted in the bushes in the distance and looked over here. The movement of the night wind across the woods covered him, and the voices of their words were heard.

Granny Zhang said fiercely: “I said that it would be fine to let them leave the village quickly, but which one of you is actually causing the soil on the mountain to collapse and block the road and keep them. That’s all right, today they are going. I searched around for a while, I’m afraid I know everything.”

“How is it possible to know everything! It’s been more than ten years, and even the gods have come and can’t guess what happened back then.”

A cold male voice sounded. Wu Xiang didn’t recognize who it was at first, but when the words settled, a chill suddenly appeared on his back. The person who was speaking was the brother of the Wu family. At this time, his tone was dark and vicious. , Not at all the honest and honest village man in ordinary days.

He continued: “Do you think they would be fine if they left? That was the tolerance of the capital’s yamen. They would go to find out what happened in the past, and they would go to the old village to investigate, and they would send someone to check us again. It’s endless trouble. Now that I’ve been targeted, can I still get out of it?”

Granny Zhang said again: “Then how do you want to behave? You know that they are on business trips, and there are nearly ten people in the group! I thought, how did we change places back then and we can still be like that today. It’s a big deal when they leave. We are just running away.”

Brother Wu said gloomily: “Even though they are crowded, they are unprepared. Why don’t we act first to be strong?”

At this time, an old man’s voice sounded, “How do I act first? I was able to move back then, but now your aunt is ill, and your own sister is also ill. How do you deal with those people? There is also the escape from Zhang’s wife, I am now Where did you flee?”

It turned out to be the one-armed old man from the Wu family. Wu Xiang was shocked when he heard it, but he fixed his eyes to see, only to find that there were three unspoken figures beside them. But there was another tall figure, but he couldn’t distinguish it anyway.

At this time, Brother Wu said again: “Since I can’t escape, I just don’t stop doing it, and there is also a little cleverness in the leader. In addition, they are just some people who do things according to orders. A girl who doesn’t care, just use some means, what can’t you do? You forgot how we did it back then?” After speaking, he stared at Granny Zhang, “Did you put all the medicine I ordered you to put?”

Granny Zhang smiled coldly again, “They are very wary. It is the first time for me to cook tonight. How can I dare to let it go?”

The Wu family seemed a little impatient. At this moment, the Zhang family brothers opened their mouths, “Since they entered the village, I have known that it is difficult to prevaricate this time. They have been searching all the way, and no one outside knows where they have found. What are we afraid of doing something cleaner? We didn’t put it tonight, so we will put it again tomorrow. They saw you, an old man, who had already eaten once again, so I thought they wouldn’t be too defensive about you.”

“Mother, just do it this way, there is indeed no way.” The strangest figure opened his mouth.

Wu Xiang, who was hiding in the dark, was startled. He didn’t know when Grandma Zhang’s son would return to the village!

At this time, the man said again: “Did your mother alarm them when she came out?”

Granny Zhang shook her head and said in a dumb voice: “They have been tired for a day, and they have slept so much that they snored. I listened for a long time and found that there was no movement before they came out——”

“Then mother will go back soon, so as not to make any changes.”

Granny Zhang wanted to say something and stopped. Finally, she sighed and obeyed them. Wu Xiang watched from a distance and saw that Granny Zhang was about to come back.

The people standing by the black water pool suddenly looked in his direction!

“Who is there?!”
