Chapter 16: The Caged Bird

The coffin was opened and the autopsy was in vain, and the burning of Yizhuang made Yang and Li everyone uproar, Xu Wenbin was worried that the matter would be big, so he had to stop it. However, he did not give up on the case, he felt the case

The situation is getting more and more complicated, and the bloodbath is just the beginning. The deaths of Murong Gang and Tu Hu, the disappearance of young hunters, and these murder cases, from all indications, are all related to Yang Yulang.

"My lord, tonight's events are really strange. Not only are they haunted, but zombies are also present. Not long after you left the rocky hill, a sudden gust of wind blew, and then a voice came from the coffin. Even stranger

Yes - the corpse actually jumped out of the coffin and attacked in the direction where we were hiding. Master Tian was shocked.

"Yes, the ghost has a cloak and a green glow in his eyes, although he can't see his face clearly, but he can see it clearly when he jumps up and down." The old hunter said.

"Are there really zombies? It's just a pity that we can't look at it any more closely. Chen Chunsheng couldn't believe it.

After several hauntings, Xu Wenbin was even more sure that all this could not be done by Yang Yulang alone, and there should be other people involved. The person involved is not an ordinary character, and this person must have done a good job

, and is good at pretending to be a ghost.

There must be a ghost in Yang Yulang's death! The fire in Yizhuang, the zombies coming out of the coffin, the yellow cloth strips in Lao Yangtou's hands, and those poems that incite the people, all of this is like someone directing a farce

。 Xu Wenbin seemed to have an understanding.

"My lord, how do you check next?" Master Tian asked.

"This case will be postponed for a while, but the investigation must not be relaxed." Xu Wenbin said.

"Since the "ghosts" did not let us conduct an autopsy, then we had to collect our troops and return to the court. The more the other party is like this, the more certain he is to be a thief. The enemy is dark and we are clear, and it is difficult to deal with it, so it is better to stop the flag and find another way. "Field

The master said.

"Master is right, I want to take Huang Ying and Xu Fu to leave Taiping County temporarily and go to other places. In this case, I sent Chunsheng to stay behind to assist in the investigation. Yang Yulang is a native of Xijiang Town, and his master can be

In order to send people to Xijiang Town to investigate and covertly visit. Xu Wenbin explained.

"Adults have a lot of opportunities every day, and they can't always stay in Taiping County. You can go with confidence! I'll let you know as soon as there's news. Master Tian said.

The next morning, the group came to Tai'an Town, and Xu Wenbin instructed Chen Chunsheng to send the old hunter home, and gave some scattered silver taels. He also explained Master Tian's next action plan and wrote a book

The letter entrusted Master Tian to hand it over to Liu County. Everything was ready, Xu Wenbin left Tai'an with Huang Ying and Xu Fu, and rushed to Xin'an County to deal with another case. Press not table.

Now it is said that Liu Youde learned of Yang Yulang's death, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and asked Aunt Zhang, a matchmaker, to come to the Li family again to propose marriage.

The news of Yang Yulang's death is known to everyone in the West Village, and Li Xiumei has no room for maneuver, but she did not agree to the marriage immediately, because the one-year deadline has not yet arrived, and it is Li Xiumei's best to delay one day

Good excuses.

Li Aicai saw that her daughter still refused to agree, so she was so angry that she didn't eat or drink, and lay on the bed and pretended to be sick.

Mother Li saw that her husband was not eating or drinking, and she was as anxious as ants in a hot pot.

"Girl, you can agree to this marriage! You see that your father is angry like this, how can you bear it? A woman's family will get married sooner or later, and you are not young, and you should also think about your life's events. Mom knows

You have a deep affection for Yang Yulang, but Yang Yulang is dead, you can't always drag it out like this! Li's mother persuaded.

Li Xiumei knew in her heart that Yang Yulang was not dead, but she didn't dare to publicize this matter. Yang Yulang committed a big crime outside, and the people of the government are arresting him, if they know that Yang Yulang is not dead,

The government will definitely not let him go. In order for Yulang to escape this catastrophe, Li Xiumei had no choice but to plan and hope for the future.

"Mother, Yulang has just died a few days ago, and the bones are not cold, so I got married in a hurry, and I can't explain it reasonably. Besides, I am also responsible for Yulang's death, if it weren't for the dowry of 10,000 taels of silver, he wouldn't have left

If you open your hometown, you won't end up like this. Therefore, I must wait for Yulang to pass seventy-seven forty-nine days. Li Xiumei said.

After listening to this, Li's mother felt that what her daughter said was also human, so she had to agree to her daughter's request.

Li Aicai didn't dare to force it, for fear of forcing someone to do it.

"Isn't it just forty-nine days? In the blink of an eye, it's over. Li Aicai told the matchmaker about the situation, and the matchmaker went back to Liu's house to reply, and Liu Youde agreed.

Time flies so fast, forty-nine days have passed in the blink of an eye, these forty-nine days, Li Xiumei has no news of Yang Yulang, maybe Yulang is really not alive.

The Liu family came to the door again to propose marriage, and Li Aicai agreed. Li Xiumei saw that her father agreed, and she didn't dare to be disobedient anymore, so she had to nod with tears.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the king of the stove went to heaven to play good deeds, every household sugar-coated sacrificial stove, and the sound of firecrackers rose one after another, endlessly.

Both sides of the Xijiang River were immersed in joy, Li Xiumei was worried, he remembered that his beloved was missing, and his heart was like a knife.

On this day, Liu Youde was full of spring breeze, and he took the family greeting team to take Li Xiumei into the high-walled compound of the Liu family all the way.

Li Xiumei entered Liu's house, like entering a cage, and from then on, bad luck came, and she became a poor bird.

On the night of candles in the cave room, Li Xiumei sat alone in the new house, the red candles were shining, there was a commotion outside, but the room was extremely deserted.

At midnight, Liu Youde drunkenly bumped in, and said with a sneer: "Beauty, although you are stubborn, it is not my meal in the end." As long as you serve the uncle well, the uncle guarantees you

Worry-free food and clothing for a lifetime. Come on! The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold. Liu Youde said that he took off the red hijab, looked at Li Xiumei drunkenly, and stretched out his hand to hug it.

Li Xiumei stood up and turned to one side, Liu Youde couldn't help but fall with the stake, and fell on the ground.

Liu Youde fell this time, and he woke up seven or eight points, and when he saw Li Xiumei refusing to give in, he was furious and shouted: "You slut, don't be ashamed." You and Yang Yulang's things, uncle, I know all about them

, Now that Yang Yulang is dead, I will not pursue it anymore. As long as you serve the uncle well, the uncle can give you a name, if you are disobedient, hum! I call you worse than dead. ”

Li Xiumei knew Liu Youde's virtue, and she also knew that if she entered this high-walled compound, she would have endless sins and unbearable hardships, which were all the lives of poor families, so she had to admit it; But Li Xiumei still didn't give up

, she is looking forward to one day flying away with Yang Yulang, going to a place that no one knows, and starting a new life.

Liu Youde is aggressive, Li Xiumei is just a weak woman, how can she withstand Liu Youde's attack like a tiger? After a few rounds, I had to give in. On the wedding night, the two barely walked

After having sex, Liu Youde was sullen in his heart. He lost that sense of freshness, and the scene of Yang Yulang and Li Xiumei being together always appeared in his mind.

When he got up early in the morning, Liu Youde kept a straight face and went out without saying a word. Liu Laocai and his wife saw that their son was not happy, and they knew that it was Li Xiumei who made their son unhappy. The couple called Li Xiumei

, scolded her fiercely, and punished her for kneeling on the washboard.

Li Xiumei only felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to argue, this is Liu Laocai's house, it is an unreasonable place, and no matter how much she says, it will not help. She had no choice but to knock out her teeth and swallow them in her stomach.

Liu Laocai and his wife had already heard that Li Xiumei had something to do with Yang Yulang in her mother's house, and they were very angry, but for the sake of face, they did not publicize it. However, as a big family, marrying an indecent woman is real

is out of character, so they always see Li Xiumei as unpleasant, and make things difficult for Li Xiumei in every way, sometimes like beating and scolding the maid.

Liu Youde just treated Li Xiumei as a doll, tired of playing and abandoning it like a piece of, he looked for flowers and willows outside for three days and two times, and Li Xiumei kept the empty room alone at home.

Liu Laocai saw that Li Xiumei was a little beautiful, and he was salivating, and he saw Li Xiumei being thrown at home by his son, and his heart was itching.

One night, Liu Laocai came to Li Xiumei's room with his wife behind his back and wanted to take possession. Li Xiumei saw the old pervert, although she was afraid, but she also had a way to deal with it. She knows that the old pervert is afraid of the tigress,

Liu Laocai was just about to make a move, when Li Xiumei suddenly shouted: "Mother-in-law, come and save me." ”

When Liu Laocai heard the shout, he knew how powerful the tigress was, so he had to leave obediently. However, since then, Li Xiumei has no good fruit to eat. During the day, Liu Laocai drove her as a maid to do some dirty work.

Heavy work, at night, Liu Laocai punished her to sleep in the firewood room, and occasionally was insulted by Liu Laocai.

In the tall compound, Li Xiumei couldn't fly with wings, how he hoped that Yang Yulang could appear in time and rescue her from the cage. However, looking forward to it day after day, hoping that she would be exhausted and emaciated, and she would not be

See Yang Yulang's trace.

"Yulang! Where are you? DID YOU KNOW? How did I get through without you? In the long lonely night, Li Xiumei's heart called over and over again.

After a few days, Liu Youde returned home after being happy enough outside, and he saw that Li Xiumei's pink peach blossom face had turned waxy yellow, with tear stains, and it was not pleasing to the eye when looking horizontally and vertically, and it was insinuating

Scolding.

Li Xiumei was grief-stricken, cried and went to the firewood room, closed the door and hanged herself. Fortunately, the subordinates Zhang Ma and Granny Li found out in time, and Li Xiumei escaped.

Liu Youde saw Li Xiumei hang herself, and his heart softened, he didn't dare to force Li Xiumei to die, after all, they were still husband and wife. However, after this incident, strange things happened one after another in the Liu family's compound.

The morning before, a bloody handprint appeared on the gate of the high-walled compound of the Liu family, and Liu Youde's name was written in the handprint. The next morning, Liu's housekeeper dog was killed, and Liu's courtyard appeared within the walls

A strip of yellow cloth that reads: For the rich and unkind, oppress the good people; He did many evils, and the whole family suffered; Kill the pig and dog first, and punish it slightly; If you are obsessed, you will be poisoned.

Liu Laocai never dreamed that such a strange thing would happen in the Liu family compound, which had been peaceful for decades. He begged God for divination, but he could not find a reasonable explanation.

Li Xiumei faintly felt that this was Yang Yulang warning Liu Laocai's family, how much he hoped that Yang Yulang could appear in front of him, comfort her, tell her stories, and spend the long night with her. But all of this

Everything is a long dream, and when I wake up, tears stain the pillow.

The Liu family's compound is like a cage, locking Li Xiumei's body, but what can't be locked is the concerned heart.

The Liu family compound is like a tomb, where Li Xiumei's blood and tears are buried, but what cannot be hidden is the unswerving soul.
