Volume 1 The Battle of the Secret Realm Chapter 10 Chu Li died
At this time, the people of the village and the outsiders were already in opposition to each other. Regarding the death of the girl Chu Li, the people in the village will inevitably associate with these outsiders.
After all, there are births, old age, sickness and death, natural disasters, and accidents in the temple village, but there is never a murder without a disaster.
Why did a young girl die in the alley in broad daylight just the day after the outsiders entered the village! Although there is no evidence that it is man-made, it is undeniable!
Yu Mutou once again tasted the heartache deeply, and he looked coldly at the brocade-clothed young man standing at the mouth of the alley, his eyes were like torches.
And the other party smiled faintly at Yu Mutou, which seemed to be provocative...
Don't think about it, the first thing Yu Mutou suspected was this little master of the Xuanlei Sect, Si Wuzhe!
But so what?
Yu Mutou retracted his gaze helplessly, regretting it in his heart, if I reminded her more last night, or directly told her who it was, would she just... Won't die!

Granny Ma was already standing at the door at some point, and it seemed that she already knew.
When she saw a group of people coming, Granny Ma, who was full of vicissitudes of life, was sad and unscathed, and went back to the house with her body bent.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Yu Mutou has entered Chu Li's house, and they all say that their family is rich and lives in the largest three-entry courtyard in the village, and now it is indeed not small. However, Yu Mutou was not in the mood to appreciate it now, he followed behind Granny Ma and hugged Chu Li directly to the main hall.
After the group, the white cat strolled leisurely and followed into the house.
Granny Ma sat on the wooden chair, holding the cane with both hands, squinted at the group, and said, "Thank you for sending her back, forgive the old woman for not being able to entertain you today, please go back!"
"But, Chu Li, she..." Before Zhao Fanchen's words were finished, Granny Ma waved her hand directly, "I know what's wrong with her, let's go!" β
Several old servants took Chu Li from Yu Mutou's hands and placed her firmly in the middle of the room. Just as Zhao Fanchen and the others left, Yuan Hongqian and Lu Gui ran in in a hurry, and Lu Gui hugged his head and cried as soon as he entered the house!
"Chu Li! Chu Li! You can't die! I haven't married you yet!"
"Get out!"
It doesn't matter if she cries, Granny Ma didn't want to, so she directly turned up her crutches and scolded and scolded, and knocked on Lu Gui!
"Dogs who don't have a chance to cry back to their mother's womb and cry. β
"Get out, get out of here, the girls are annoying. β
"Phew! Anyway, let's go through the tricks first and see who is the best?!"
"A litter of shameless dog things!"
Granny Ma is notoriously immoral, and Yuan Hongqian was not spared, and the heavy crutches directly beat the two out. It's just that on Yuan Hongqian's grief-stricken face, the smile he tried to hide was seen by Yu Mutou!
Inside the house, several old servants hid their faces around Chu Li's body and wept, as if they were preparing for the funeral. Yu Mutou just watched her disappear from his sight little by little.
According to the custom of the temple village, if the junior is dead, if the elder is still there, he can only be buried hastily, and there is not even a tombstone. Thinking of this, Yu Mutou's heart hurt as if he had been pricked by a needle.
Granny Ma retracted her anger, sat upright, and after a moment of silence, she slowly swallowed, "Little wood, can I ask you for something?"
As if she felt that there was something wrong with opening her mouth so rashly, Granny Ma hurriedly added, "Uh... I know that I am a lonely old woman who has nothing to do with you, let alone treat you well on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if you refuse. β
"Granny Ma, you say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree. Yu Mutou's expression was resolute, so that people could know that he was serious at a glance.
Hearing this, Granny Ma was very relieved, and her wrinkled face was stretched a little, "Okay! good!" After saying a few good things, she directly changed the topic, "Do you think that I am a little unreasonable now?"
Yu Mutou nodded solemnly, he had this feeling since he first saw Granny Ma, he couldn't tell him how it was, but he felt that the death of his relatives should not be like this.
"Yes, there are some. β
"Then let me tell you, in fact, Chu Li, she is not my granddaughter,"
"What!"
"You don't have to be surprised, Chu Li was actually fostered by me, if you want to count her, she is still my enemy. So even if she's dead now, I won't be as sad as you are. β
"What the hell is going on?"
Granny Ma smiled lightly, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be deeper, and she continued to take care of herself, "Ruali, his luck is better than mine, maybe it is precisely because of his duty that he doesn't meddle in things... It's that carpenter, Master Lu in your mouth. I know he's got something to tell you, so I'm going to pick up something he won't tell you and tell you. Ahem... Anyway, I've lived thirty more years and earned it!"
Yu Mutou seemed to understand something, and she was afraid that the mother-in-law in front of her also knew something about herself, or about Temple Village.
Without interjecting, the young man looked at Granny Ma quietly.
"We're not from here, as you've guessed. Granny Ma looked at Yu Mutou again and again as she spoke, and only after finding that the latter's face was still calm did she continue,
"I'm not, Carpenter Lu is not, Chu Li... We all stumbled in by mistake, but we came in, but it was harder to get out than to climb to the sky. β
"Of course, the years of existence here are extremely long, and there are not only a few of us who broke in, but most of them were dead before, and now in addition to me, there are two people alive, and they are not strangers to you, one is Yuan Hongqian's father Yuan Mao, and the other is Lu Gui's father Lu Dayou!"
When he said that Lu Da had three words, Yu Mutou's eyes couldn't help but move, and Granny Ma naturally saw it clearly, chuckled, and continued,
"Lu Da has this brute, and giving birth to Lu Gui is even worse than a brute. He treated your mother and you like this, and you almost killed him! He can endure it until now, do you know why?"
"Because this place is different from other places, you native children are protected by the rules of this place, and he doesn't dare to touch you! So, so he instigated his son Lu Gui to target you everywhere! Because you are the same, the rules have no effect on Lu Gui. β
Yu Mutou was dumbfounded, he looked at Granny Ma with a blank eye, and his heart was shocked: How did she know about this?
It shouldn't be!
Only two people now know about this except himself. And Zhao Fanchen will never tell others, that is Lu Dayou?
Fortunately, there are too many strange things happening these days, which is already difficult for this poor boy who has not seen much of the world to digest, and it doesn't hurt to have more.
Granny Ma seemed to see the conjecture in the young man's heart, and said directly, "Don't guess, there were not just a few of you present at that time." β
Yu Mutou's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "So it's you?"
Thinking back to what happened that night, when I had just fallen asleep, I heard the shouts of my mother outside the door. Yu Mutou rushed out desperately, and saw that Lu Da had one hand pressing his mother to the ground, and the other hand had already torn most of his clothes apart.
Yu Mutou tried to stop it, but he had no choice but to recover from a serious illness, like a weak lamb, and was thrown out by Lu Dayou.
Fortunately, Zhao Fanchen happened to come over at that time, and just like that, the two eight-year-old children fought side by side. Originally, Lu Dayou's arrogance was extremely arrogant, and even with Zhao Fanchen, he still couldn't stop his atrocities.
But suddenly, Lu Dayou seemed to have been attacked from behind, a stream of blood spurted out, and Lu Dayou instantly became extremely sluggish, and then he turned around and ran, scolding in his mouth.
At that time, Yu Mutou and Zhao Fanchen were surprised and chased after them, and their eyes were full of killing intent. But in the end, Lu Gui stood in front of Lu Dayou, and the three children fought to the death, although Lu Gui lost, but Yu Mu failed to slash Lu Dayou. Now that I think about it, it should have been Granny Ma in front of me who stopped Lu Dayou in the first place.
I only heard Granny Ma nod and replied, "Yes, it's me!"
"Lu Dayou is that bastard, if you want to do such a thing that is inferior to a pig and a dog, how can I sit idly by! I wanted to kill him directly, but at that time, seeing the angry killing intent in your eyes, I just hurt him in the end, and I want to leave it to you to solve. Who would have thought that Lu Dayou was not an idiot, but he actually found his son to protect himself, but let him escape. β
"Thank you..."
"No, I have benefited a lot for this. I should be the one who wants to say thank you. Forget it, it's useless to tell you this. β
Granny Ma continued to say in a clichΓ©, "Actually, as early as thirty years ago, I strayed into this place to escape the pursuit of the enemy. I thought I could sit back and relax and escape death, but who knew that I was stuck in the quagmire and behaved with my tail between my legs every day, but fortunately, I survived. And now that the secret realm here is about to be opened, the major sects have gathered, and my old enemy has also come, presumably the death catastrophe is coming, it is said that I am a person who should have died, and if I die, I will die, but I am afraid that there is a secret about you hidden here..."
Before Granny Ma finished speaking, she heard a muffled thunder explosion in the clear sky without warning.
"Click!"
Needles could be heard in the room, and a withered elm leaf floated down from the sky at some point.
Granny Ma looked up at the sky, there seemed to be sweat on her forehead, and she said tremblingly, "Senior, the little woman will die today, it is better to say a few more words with the little woman, it is also for the good of this child." For the sake of the old days, the little woman was also considered to be in peace and self-control, and she was ungrateful and gracious!"
Granny Ma knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky.
As if she had received some kind of response, Granny Ma slowly got up, calmed down for a moment, and smiled helplessly at the cold young man, "Let you see the joke." β
Yu Mutou shook his head and did not speak.
And Granny Ma continued, "Chu Li is dead, you don't have to be too sad. After all, this man will eventually die. However, I beg you for one thing, if you have the opportunity to leave this temple village and happen to arrive in Pine Town in the land of canglans, can you help me go to the town to find out if there are any people surnamed Ma, if there is, please be sure to tell them that it was my Ma Lan ghost who listened to the slander and harmed the whole clan, I am sorry for them! If possible, please give this to them. β
After speaking, Granny Ma took off a ring from her hand and handed it to Yu Mutou.
Yu Mutou took the ring and asked rhetorically, "Why don't you say it yourself?"
Granny Ma's voice trembled, and she said, "How can a person who is about to die have extravagant hope!"
"You keep saying death, why do you want to die?"
"If you have made a mistake, you must apologize with death!"
