Chapter Eighty-Four: Mo Ruo in the Fog
The rain began to turn to a drizzle, dark clouds overheaded, and lightning flashes could occasionally be seen in the clouds.
Zhang Youtou's death was a bit sudden, but he was quickly relieved. Usually heavy on alcohol, this rain, can't see the road clearly, this person is not sober, and it is inevitable to fall into the water.
Because the body was swallowed by the water monster, it was planned to be disemboweled.
However, when everyone arrived at Qingtoupo, there were no water monsters anywhere, and there was not even a trace.
In the end, I can only make a well-dressed tomb, which can't help but make people sigh, live a muddy life, and when I die, I can't be buried.
The villagers of Yiling County all came to Zhuxiang and bowed three times, because Mu Xiulan was already pregnant with Liujia, many inconveniences, the whole funeral was presided over by Zhang Xijing.
Ghost Zhang stood there, glancing coldly at Li Liang who was on the side, just right, Li Liang also raised his eyes to look at Ghost Zhang, and after a glance, he stopped looking.
On the other side, Mu Xiulan, who was resting in the house, heard the footsteps outside the door, quickly got up and tidied up her clothes, then walked to the door with a smile, opened the door and saw that the smile on her face stiffened, and the person in front of her was not the person she was expecting.
What caught his eye was a peerless and beautiful face, his heart was amazing, his face was expressionless, and the coldness in his eyes was more piercing than the cold winter of Layue.
A childish voice brought Mu Xiulan back to her senses: "Aunt Zhang, my mother asked me to send you chicken soup to replenish your body." ”
At this time, Mu Xiulan noticed that the man in front of her was holding the female baby of the Zhang family. Opened the door and said, "It's Xue'er! Come in and sit!" Sister Lao Huang bothered. ”
Zhang Xue said: "Thank you, Aunt Zhang!"
Mo Qing carried Zhang Xue in, put the food box on the table, and looked at Mu Xiulan expressionlessly.
Mu Xiulan beckoned them to sit down, and when she saw that the two of them were intimate, she rolled her eyes and poured two bowls of tea, and asked, "Xue'er, which young master is this son, and his face is very raw." ”
Zhang Xue took a sip of tea and said, "He is my husband, his name is Moqing." There was a smug look in his tone.
Mo Qing smiled knowingly and looked at Zhang Xue with doting eyes.
This made Mu Xiulan on the side extremely envious, jealous and hateful!
Mo Qing spoke at the right time: "When was the last time I saw Zhang Youtou?"
Mu Xiulan said honestly: "At four o'clock in the morning last night, I drank when I came back, and I drank too much and went out." Seeing him ask this, he was a little frightened, could it be that there were other hidden secrets in Zhang Youtou's death? I couldn't help but think of Li Liang.
Mo Qing nodded, Zhang Xijing said yesterday that when he went into the water, he saw Zhang Youtou's body sinking in the water. Looking at a simple hut, some of them are dilapidated, which shows that they are living a poor life.
Seeing Mo Qing's gaze, Mu Xiulan's face was burning, the poverty of the four walls of this family made her feel inferior, and she hated Zhang Youtou a little more in her heart, if it wasn't for him, how could she be like this!
Mu Xiulan opened the food box, took out the chicken soup, and gave a chicken soup to Zhang Xue.
Mo Qing quietly watched Zhang Xue drink chicken soup, and never looked at Mu Xiulan again.
After Mu Xiulan drank the chicken soup, she was a little sleepy, yawned, and said, "Thank you today, I'm a little sleepy, I'll visit you another day." ”
After sending Mo Qing and Zhang Xue away, Mu Xiulan came to the bedside, lay lazily on the bed, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a small black pill and took it, and then fell asleep with peace of mind.
Mo Qing took Zhang Xue to Qingtoupo, the water level dropped, the flooded fields were crooked, and the villagers continued to dig the road.
The water monster disappeared overnight, and Mo Qing looked at the traces in the grass, there was a faint trail of dragging, and some rust was scattered among them.
Zhang Xue frowned and asked, "Lord Husband, why is such a big water monster missing?"
Mo Qing said: "I was dragged away." ”
When Zhang Xue heard this, she was surprised: "It's so powerful! Who can drag away such a big water monster?"
Mo Qing responded: "There are no surprises in the world, don't be surprised by this." ”
Zhang Xue nodded, and suddenly found a figure in the distance, pointed with her little hand, and shouted, "Sister Mo Ruo!"
Mo Ruo in the distance didn't seem to hear the sound, and kept looking at the Qingtoupo in front of him. In the thick fog, Mo Ruo's figure loomed.
Zhang Xue frowned and said, "Why does Sister Mo Ruo ignore me?" pouted and furrowed her little face. Mo Qing looked around, didn't see anything, looked down at Zhang Xue, and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhang Xue, and said: "Lord Husband, I seem to see myself in the thick fog, and it doesn't seem to be me." ”
Mo Qing was suspicious, looked around again, and still didn't see anything, not even the dense fog, and said softly: "Did you really see it?" Zhang Xue nodded, nodding firmly.
The light rain gradually turned into a drizzle, the wind blew gently, the aquatic plants swayed, Mo Qing took Zhang Xue to leave Qingtoupo and walked towards the digging road.
The mayor yelled, "Dig your way out!"
The people next to him are digging and digging, shoveling and shoveling. Even the old master limped over with a cane to participate in digging the road, but no one could stop him, so he had to watch.
Together, they didn't sleep, and the project was half as fast as possible, and the road was soon opened, but it was further to the city.
Zhang Xue played with other children next to her, occasionally carrying rocks to throw.
And Mo Qing asked Zhang Xijing to follow him and came to Qingtoupo again.
Zhang Xijing asked with some doubts: "Son-in-law, is there something big about it?"
Mo Qing said: "It's nothing, let you see the scenery." ”
Hearing this, he suddenly lost his mind, Zhang Xijing looked around obediently, and responded: "Eh... There's nothing to look at, it's better to go home and see the woman. "What can be nice about a place that has just been flooded?!
Mo Qing nodded and said, "Have you seen Mo Ruo?"
Zhang Xijing said: "Didn't you see her next to her just now? Alas, there have been a lot of things in the town recently, which has caused a lot of trouble for their drama troupe, so it's good to come out and relax." ”
Mo Qing responded: "We went over and had something to say to him. ”
Zhang Xijing nodded and walked to the side, Mo Qing followed behind him unhurriedly, watching him lead the way in front.
Zhang Xijing said as he walked: "Son-in-law, thanks to you, Xue'er is in danger!"
Mo Qing let out a faint 'um', looked at Zhang Xijing and beckoned to the front, and shouted: "Miss Mo Ruo! Be careful, this road is slippery, don't fall into the water!"
Zhang Xijing saw that Mo Ruo in the dense fog didn't pay attention to himself, and he didn't care, maybe he was thinking about things.
And everywhere Mo Qing looked, there was no figure of Mo Ruo, let alone a place shrouded in dense fog.
Zhang Xijing rubbed his eyes, looked ahead again, frowned and said, "Why don't you see anyone?" Unconsciously, the thick fog dissipated, and he was standing in the water, and when the water reached his chest, he was instantly shocked into a cold sweat and hurriedly walked ashore.
