Chapter 242: Discovery
Is that blood?
Xu was because it was inevitable to see blood when he rescued people several times, Cheng Wei inexplicably flashed this question in his heart, and picked up the shoe with a handkerchief.
"Girl?" Huan Yan was puzzled.
Cheng Wei didn't hear it, put the shoes on the end of his nose and sniffed them, his expression became solemn: "Fat fish, where did you get these shoes?" ”
Fat Fish tilted his head to look at her, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.
Cheng Wei clenched the shoe, thought about it, took a few steps in the direction that the fat fish had just returned, and then waved at the fat fish.
The fat fish still understood this action and immediately followed.
So Cheng Wei pointed to his shoes again and looked at the fat fish.
The fat fish has eaten fatter these days, round like a hairball, and looks at Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei was a little distracted, took a few steps back with his shoes, turned back and walked in that direction again, and finally stopped and looked at the fat fish.
Perhaps the understanding of some things only needs a flash of inspiration, and animals are no exception.
The fat fish tilted his head and stared at the shoes in Cheng Wei's hand, and suddenly reacted and ran in that direction.
Cheng Wei hurriedly followed, and when the fat fish stopped, she also stopped, staring at a certain place motionless.
The soil there was obviously freshly turned, and this was a very remote corner of the garden, and even if you had to pick trees and plant flowers, it seemed that it would not be possible to get here.
Reaching out and grabbing a handful of soil and twisting it unconsciously, Cheng Wei said, "Huan Yan, you go back and get two flower shovels." ”
Huan Yan was stunned.
Cheng Wei raised his eyes to look at her: "Don't go yet!" ”
"Whoa." Huan Yan responded and ran quickly.
She's fast-paced. It didn't take much effort to come back, panting: "Girl, give!" ”
Cheng Wei took the flower shovel. Pointing to the place, "Let's dig and see." ”
Huan Yan has always been more reliable than words, listening to Cheng Wei say this, he didn't ask much, he raised the flower shovel and excavated.
As expected, the soil was soft, and the more he dug down, the more uneasy Cheng Wei's heart became.
She vaguely guessed what might be buried in the soil. But the moment I didn't really see it, I couldn't believe it.
It can be said that the curiosity and faint fear of this age drove her not to stop. It wasn't until the brown fabric came into view and Huan Yan let out an exclamation that she took a step back, her hands trembling involuntarily.
"Girl. This. What is it? This visual impact was obviously beyond the acceptable range of the little girl, and the shovel in Huan Yan's hand fell off, looking at Cheng Wei in horror.
Xu was mentally prepared from the moment she saw the shoe, and after the initial shock, she was much calmer than Huanyan: "It should be a ...... alone."
"People?" Huanyan's voice was a few points higher, "How can people be in the soil?" ”
It was obviously a tense atmosphere, but Cheng Wei was amused by Huan Yan's words: "Of course it's because of death." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the brown cloth that was faintly peeking out of the dirt. Panic prevailed again, and Cheng Wei tried his best to put on a calm appearance. commanded: "Huan Yan, you go to find the second son." ”
At this time, her first thought is always her second brother, not her mother.
It's a habit and an instinct.
"Yes." Huan Yan stood up, turned around and ran, didn't run a few steps and then turned back like a gust of wind, "Girl, it's better for you to go, the maid is here to stay." ”
Cheng Wei was a little surprised: "You're not afraid?" ”
Huan Yan bit her lip: "I'm afraid, but the girl will be afraid if she stays here." ”
Meeting the little girl's pale face and frightened eyes, Cheng Wei couldn't help but think of the scene in the nightmare.
Huan Yan escorted her away, was shot with thousands of holes, and stood straight until she died.
Cheng Wei suppressed the tears that came up and shook his head: "No, I'm still staying here, you are fast, hurry up." ”
"Girl—"
Cheng Wei glared: "What are you rubbing, people can't bite me when they die!" ”
Huan Yan bit her lip and ran away.
When Huan Yan really left, only the fat fish was left to accompany him, and the morning breeze of late spring blew, and Cheng Wei felt a little cold.
She didn't dare to look at the dead man in the soil, but she couldn't help but look at it.
Staring there straight for a while, Cheng Wei was ruthless.
said that she was not afraid of anything, why is she still so timid, and the dead are not unseen!
Thinking like this, as if to prove that he was not afraid, Cheng Wei picked up the shovel and shoveled up the soil one by one.
When Huan Yan hurried over with Cheng Che, most of the body buried in the soil had already been exposed.
"Weiwei, don't move." Cheng Che saw that Cheng Wei was digging hard and rushed over.
Cheng Wei was stunned, and when he raised his eyes and saw that it was the second brother, he remembered that he was afraid, threw the little shovel, threw himself into Cheng Che's arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Second brother, there are dead people-"
Cheng Che's body stiffened, let her hold her, and raised his hand to caress her back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the second brother is not here." ”
Huan Yan stood aside, looked at the master who was sobbing in the arms of the second son, and quickly glanced at the dead man who had been dug up, and was puzzled.
The girl was so afraid, why did she dig so fast, she obviously didn't waste much time.
Under Cheng Che's gentle voice, Cheng Wei regained his composure, and reluctantly came out of his arms: "Second brother, I look at that person's clothes, it seems that he is a subordinate in our house." ”
Cheng Che patted her shoulder: "Weiwei, you go back with Huan Yan first, and leave it to the second brother here." ”
Cheng Wei shook his head: "No, second brother, I found this person first, and I wanted to stay to see what the situation was, otherwise it would not be practical even if I went back." ”
Seeing this, Cheng Che no longer persuaded him, picked up the flower shovel and continued to dig.
After the person was completely dug out, he looked at it carefully for a moment, and his expression gradually condensed: "Weiwei, you go and tell your mother and aunt about this now, and the second brother is waiting for you here." ”
This time, Cheng Wei didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly went with Huan Yan.
Soon, the elders of Bofu gathered in Niansong Hall to listen to Cheng Wei's brothers and sisters explain the situation.
Cheng Wei first said how the body was found, and Cheng Che continued: "That person is wearing the clothes of a servant in the house, I have seen it a few times in the concierge, and it seems that his name is Shunzi." I had just checked it in the garden, and found that his fatal wound was in the neck, and judging by the shape of the wound, it should be—"
Speaking of this, Cheng Che paused, and everyone's curiosity was raised high with his pause, and Old Madam Meng asked with a cold face, "What is it?" ”
Cheng Che stood straight, his eyes drooped slightly, and his expression was calm, which made his next words a little more credible: "It should have been pierced by a slender and sharp object." Considering that he was buried in the back garden, the grandson had a guess, but he was afraid to alarm the elders by saying it. ”
"It's all dead, what else is there to be shocked about, say!" Old Madam Meng behaved more calmly than ordinary old ladies at this time.
Whether it was when she was a girl or after she got married, she relied on her to support a large family, how could there be few lives in her hands after so many years, but a corpse was suddenly dug up from where she lived, which was a little scary.
Cheng Che's eyes showed a cold light: "I'm afraid he had bad intentions against a certain woman and was stabbed to death by that woman with a hairpin and other things." (To be continued.) )
