The last afterglow of the setting sun disappeared from the edge of the sky, and the sky instantly became gloomy, and the two barmen walked in the muddy forest on the outskirts with the coffin one after the other, and an unknown bird fluttered its wings and flew through the air, leaving a series of strange calls, which made the two big men suddenly feel a little chill in their hearts.
"Did you feel like something was wrong today?"
The barman in front of him turned his head and asked softly.
"What's wrong, don't you move the dead and carry the dead every day, what kind of look and smell of dead people I haven't seen before, hey, do you remember the fat man who drowned in the Pang family a few years ago, no, he was blistered by the river like a big fish, and his stomach was broken when he was in the coffin, and his intestines were still flowing everywhere......"
"Didn't I mean this," said the man in front of him, his voice became short and trembling, "isn't there a little girl of five or six years old in this coffin?"
How can it be so heavy, like an adult?
” As soon as the words fell, the footsteps of the two gradually slowed down, "It is said that the soul of the unjustly killed is immortal, and it will always linger in the world, and it will not stop until the blood debt is repaid......"
The big man who was still making bold remarks just now came to say this coldly, after the words, both of them were smart, and looked up at the coffin at the same time, they saw that a thin figure was sitting on the top of the coffin board, and his eyes were white, showing them a smile that seemed to be nothing.
"Ahh The two barmen let out a wild roar at the same time, and they threw the coffin on the ground at once, not caring that it was just a barren forest, and there were still a few acres of land away from the iron and stone fence, and they ran towards the city without looking back.
The candle on the table flickered a few times, Jiang Xixi pushed the door and walked in, Cheng Muyou stopped the pen in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and asked softly, "Everything is done?"
” Jiang Xixi nodded, "Mrs.
Huo has been imprisoned, although she is still the same as in the hall, she insists that she did not deliberately murder Xiao Zhen, but she also did not force her to quibble, she admitted that it was her mistake that caused Xiao Zhen's death, so she is willing to accept the punishment, when I sent her to prison, she looked calm, and only asked me to put a stick of incense in front of Xiao Zhen's spiritual seat." ” Cheng Mu Wuwu pondered for a while, then got up and walked up to Jiang Xixi and asked, "You said she was calm?"
” "Yes, sir."
An elusive light flashed in Cheng Muyou's eyes, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked, "Is Yunying gone?"
” "I just sent her out of the house, and she looked very sad and kept saying that she couldn't protect Xiao Zhen, saying that if she had been more determined at that time, Xiao Zhen would not have had an accident.
My lord, the cause and effect of this incident is already very clear, Mrs.
Huo herself admitted that she insisted on taking Xiao Zhen out, coupled with the testimony of those servants and maids of the Huo family, it is even more confirmed that Mrs.
Huo had abused Xiao Zhen in private, but why do you seem to have concerns?
” Cheng Muyou walked to the window, looked at the bright moon that had just come out of the dark clouds, and said slowly, "I went to the homes of the children who died of the epidemic today, but I found some suspicious points. ” "Suspicious?"
Jiang Xixi's face sank, "My lord, what do you mean?"
” "Some of these children are swaddling babies, some have reached school age, different ages, and their whereabouts before the onset of the disease do not intersect, and even a few children have never been out before the disease for fear of being infected by the epidemic."
"So Xiao Zhen's death wasn't because she went out?"
"I can't be so arbitrary, I just think there are too many coincidences in this case that are not common sense, and the coincidence seems to have been designed."
"I don't understand."
Jiang Xixi honestly expressed his opinion.
Cheng Muyou let go of the hand holding the window, turned around and smiled faintly at her, "Forget it, don't talk about this, you're tired today, go back to your room early to rest." ” Jiang Xixi nodded, turned around and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Cheng Muyou again, "Xun'er has already gone to the old mansion?"
” "Shi Fei and the nurse accompanied him over."
Xun'er lay on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, as soon as he closed his eyes, the small stiff body would appear in his mind, she was lying upright on the stone steps of Xin'an Mansion, her face was as white as if she had been painted.
It's not that he's afraid, he just thinks that this girl of his age seems to have seen it somewhere, but no matter how much he searches in his mind, he can't remember it.
The shadows of the trees outside the window kept changing shapes on the ground, and a cool breeze swept by, and a pair of thin bare feet suddenly appeared in those shadows, and the body above the ankles was covered by the shade of the trees, and only a few pale bits of skin were faintly exposed.
Xun'er, who was lying on the bed, seemed to sense something, he got up from the bed, hid behind the window that showed a little gap and looked out, he saw the feet under the shadow of the tree slowly walking in his direction, and after a while, he had come out of the window, reflecting a vague shadow on the window paper.
Xun'er caught a glimpse of her sleeve through the crack, he recognized the sleeve, and just a moment ago, the owner of the sleeve was still lingering in his mind, unwilling to leave for a long time.
For a moment, Xun'er wanted to escape from the window and wake up the nurse who was napping by the bed, but he found that his body seemed to be no longer his own, and no matter how hard he tried, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, sticking to the ground and motionless.
"Why did you come to me?"
He looked outside and barely spit out the words.
"Brother, do you know how to get to Qin Xiangzhai?"
A rancid sour smell came to his face, almost smoking out Xun'er's tears.
"I ......
I don't know, you can ask someone else.
Xun'er forced her crying and said out of the window.
"Hey," a faint sigh came from outside, "it seems to be too late, who is not afraid of my appearance?"
” As soon as the words fell, the windows squeaked and all opened, and Xun'er saw Xiao Zhen standing barefoot outside, her toes crumbling straight, as if she would break with a "clatter" if she tried a little harder.
Her bare skin was covered with a damp vapor that also covered her eyes, making her eyes appear flushed.
Her dress was tattered and stained with white catkins, and strands of cloth stuck to her body one by one, as if she wanted to merge with the cold body.
A miserable smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and then she put a stiff arm into the window, and her fingertips almost touched Xun'er's nose, "Brother, help me, I'm so hungry......
