Chapter 124: The Truth of the Matter
The woods in front of her felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them. Not far from the entrance www.biquge.info of the cave, he heard some sounds coming from a sparse place not far down the hillside, Xu Yanshan turned his eyes to look at Xiao Rusheng, obviously he also heard it. In this way, this is not a ghost, Xu Yanshan's heart eased slightly, and she was really a little tired when she saw ghosts every day.
The two of them went down the weedy ramp, and there was a path, apparently trodden out. The growth rate has not kept up with the frequency of being trampled, and there is still life, but it is all clinging to the mud. Cautiously approaching the source of the sound, except for the small tree, I saw one grave after another, and at this time there was a fire at the head of the grave, and the sound came from that place. Xu Yanshan's short-sighted eyes could see anything clearly, and she saw someone crying there in a hazy way. Xiao Rusheng really saw that it was an old woman worshipping someone. This old woman vaguely looked like the person who spoke for Xu Yanshan at the entrance of the village last time, and saw that the person next to her was still stretching her neck and squinting her eyes, like Moyu looking at her food, but she couldn't reach it.
"Probably the person you're looking for." Xu Yanshan listened, does this man spy on people's hearts, how can he always guess his mind at once, she used the fastest speed in her life to walk, approached and found this person, isn't it the ghost woman that the whole village is looking for at the moment. The ghost woman was not surprised by Xu Yanshan's arrival, and slowly burned the last pile of paper. Only then did he get up and turn his head to look at the person, and saw Xu Yanshan with a questioning look. "Don't doubt your thoughts, that's what you think."
"But why? If things really go my way, why are you deliberately lying to me to give me a chance to expose your lies? Xu Yanshan couldn't understand this. Shouldn't people who commit crimes in general do their best to hide it? Hearing this, the ghost woman just smiled sadly, but what she said was irrelevant: "You know what? After I was abandoned by my family, I once thought that I was no longer worthy of the love of others, until my stepfather brought me home, and Xiuqi, who had a beautiful face, not only did not think I was dirty, but pulled me very enthusiastically and let me play with him, saying that he would always be my family. He has also kept his promise and protected me. I know that I was picked up by my father-in-law to be a child daughter-in-law, just because I am different from ordinary people, and my father-in-law thinks that such a woman can bring glory to the clan. Although I was much older than Xiuqi, he never complained about his father-in-law's decision, and even thought about taking me with him when he said that he was going to do what he wanted to do, and I was really happy at that time. β
Xu Yanshan and Xiao Rusheng glanced at each other, and Xiao Rusheng shook his head and motioned for her to continue listening. The ghost woman seemed to suddenly think of something terrible, and her emotions became extremely excited, "Butγγγγγ But there was such a person, I didn't reach out to him when he needed me the most. Instead, I saw him killed, and I couldn't do anything about it. You know how it feels? Xu Yanshan's heart was shocked, and the words overflowed from his mouth, "You mean that you were there when Xiuqi died?" Do you know who the killer is? β
"Yes, I know, but what can I do? That man is my own brother, and I can't send him to prison. β
"What?" Xu Yanshan's eyes widened, this was something she didn't expect, and she thought about all the possibilities, but she didn't expect that the merchant's son was actually the brother of the ghost woman. The ghost woman seemed to have seen through everything, and said calmly, "That year, Xiuqi was selected to be the successor of the new wizard, and the date of our marriage has been set. Just when I was happily making a wedding dress for myself, a strange person came to the village, saying that he was looking for Xiuqi to divinate the fortune of the family. I went out and welcomed him in and took him to meet Xiuqi, and they talked for a long time in the house that day. Xiuqi also enthusiastically kept him at home for the night, and that night, the man came knocking on my door, and I didn't think about him, but I thought he was going the wrong way. But just as I was about to close the door, he handed me a jade pendant engraved with stone characters, and although I was young when I left home, I still remember this token. He said that he was my elder brother, and it was really helpless to abandon me back then, and who was not afraid of such a person in the family. My brother said that after a few years of my absence, my father began to fall ill and the family's business plummeted. I heard about me recently, so I came here and planned to take me home. I revealed that I was Xiuqi's fiancΓ©e, and my brother was sorry at the time. My brother didn't leave for several days, and Xiuqi himself was a tepid person, and it was rare to hear laughter coming from the house a few times. At the time, I was glad that my brother and my future husband had fallen in love with each other, but it wasn't long before something happened that I will never forget. Xu Yanshan vaguely knew what was going on, and saw the ghost woman staring at the grave in front of her with red eyes and said, "I slept late that night, and I heard something wrong, so I hurried to Xiuqi's house. I saw that my brother was still holding a bloody human head in his hand, which was Xiuqi's head. I fainted immediately, and when I woke up from my room the next day, I heard someone screaming. When I went out, I saw Xiuqi's headless body, and I couldn't send my brother to prison, so I had to hide it for him. Later, he told me that he would take Xiuqi's head back so that he could keep his home and the family would get better and better. But later my brother told me that Xiuqi's head was lost, but I knew that only by finding Xiuqi's head would he be complete. I won't continue to be a lonely ghost, so I lied to you. I wanted to tell you the truth, but I couldn't get it out of my mouth. β
"But why didn't you tell the people in the village that they were suffering from the epidemic?"
"Hahaha, why should I tell them, they deserve it, because of Xiuqi's death, the people in the village feel that the father-in-law and even the entire family have no usable value, and their attitude towards us can be described as if they were two people, and the father-in-law was also ill because of this, and he died of anger. Do you think they deserve to die? β
Xu Yanshan suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was very sad, "You know what? Xiuqi's head has always been in the village. β
"What?" The ghost woman's eyes widened, but she couldn't believe it.
At this moment, the cloth bag on Xu Yanshan's waist suddenly shook violently, as if something was about to come out. Xu Yanshan opened the bag and saw Xiuqi's head pop up, "Ah Lian, I'm Xiuqi." Suddenly, the ghost woman burst into tears.
"Show flags? Where are you? Why haven't you shown up for so many years, are you blaming me for shielding my brother in the first place and letting you die so unjustly. β
"I've heard everything you said, I don't blame you, and it's not all the way you see it." (To be continued.) )
