Chapter 5: Death-Man

Ye Xiaoyu was about to go out to find a bucket when she heard the cry and hurriedly ran into the inner room.

Behind the antique screen, Hong'er curled up in the corner of the wall, the flowers were discolored, and her body was constantly trembling.

The bucket was tossed aside, and all the water inside was poured on the ground.

"Leaf ...... Miss Ye ......, that ...... That one...... There is ...... in the bathtub Yes...... Dead Man......"

Hong'er's face turned pale, and it took a lot of courage to squeeze out these words intermittently from her mouth.

Yes!!!!! Dead person...... I'm going to have a big deal...... Don't you want to be so weak, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she was unlucky, she couldn't really be a dead person.

With a head full of questions, Ye Xiaoyu looked into the big bathtub.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Ye Xiaoyu herself was taken aback.

In the huge bathtub, there is a man's corpse, his face is pale, his eyes are open, he may have been put for a while, corpse spots have appeared on his arms and face, and around the corpse, there are still small Xiaoice cubes, because it is autumn, the climate is cooler, plus there may be a large number of ice cubes, the ice around the corpse has not completely melted, but it has also melted similarly, this thin Xiaoice spot, as long as it touches the corpse, it will melt.

The picture in the bathtub looks like a zombie in the American drama "The Walking Dead", scaring people to death.

"Hong'er, come, you get up first, don't be afraid, and me, I have been worshipping the monks on Xiangong Mountain since I was a child, and I will protect you, not afraid of it."

Ye Xiaoyu comforted Hong'er and helped Hong'er, who was cowering in the corner, to sit outside, while thinking about how to deal with such a situation.

Such a thing happened at the door of the Lu family, which he just entered today, in addition to being afraid, Ye Xiaoyu felt more worried.

Judging from what he has seen and heard along the way, the customs of Daye Kingdom are almost the same as those of the ancient dynasties with historical records, and there is a strict hierarchy between people, and he attaches great importance to family customs, feng shui and other things. Usually, an ordinary illness will make people think of whether they are unlucky and contaminated with unlucky things, not to mention that now a person is dying at home, and it is still in a wing room, and it is still in the wing room that Ye Xiaoyu just lived in when he arrived at the Lu family. This has to be passed out, even if the Lu family doesn't have any ideas, he will be drowned by the spittle of the surrounding villagers, and now he has just arrived at the Lu family, and his heels are not firm, if this matter is not dealt with well, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive in the country of Daye in the future.

Fortunately, the body was found by Hong'er, at least, allowing herself to have a witness.

Looking at the scene just now, that person is estimated to have been victimized, and the person who harmed people is very likely to be a member of the Lu family, and he knows very little about the situation of the Lu family at present, so he needs to plan well to deal with this matter.

Ye Xiaoyu thought about walking into the inner room, stood by the bathtub and looked carefully, reached out and turned the corpse over, dried his hands and walked to the outside room to sit with Hong'er.

"What's wrong with Xiaoyu, what happened? Hong'er, why are you sitting here? ”

It may be that Hong'er screamed too loudly just now, Lu Yishou and his wife Jiang Ping rushed to hear the sound, and when they arrived at the door and saw Hong'er sitting on the chair, they felt that the situation was not good, and they didn't know what was going on, so both of them were full of surprise and doubt.

"Uncle Lu, in ...... In this room...... The inner bathtub ...... ...... in the bathtub Yes...... Yes...... There was ......"

Seeing the road guard, Ye Xiaoyu's tears couldn't stop flowing out.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry, speak slowly"

"There...... Yes...... Yes...... There is a ...... Die...... Dead Man"

Ye Xiaoyu suppressed her panic and pointed to the room and said intermittently.

"What! Dead person...... How can there be dead people? Xiaoyu, could it be that you are wrong......"

Hearing Ye Xiaoyu's story, Lu Jiangping's whole person was about to explode, how could this be possible, there was a dead person in the Lu family, and they died in the house, they didn't know it, this is simply too ridiculous.

Lu Yishou was also shocked and speechless, he hurriedly walked towards the inner room, hoping that Xiaoyu was just looking away because he was too tired, this was just Ye Xiaoyu's illusion.

But when they reached the bathtub in the inner room, they were still startled by the sight in the bathtub, although they were mentally prepared. From the outside, it was a corpse, and it was someone they knew.

This person's name is Liu Qiang, his family lives at the entrance of the village, he has no parents, no wife and children, and he is a complete bachelor. Although the Lu family is a large family, they also need to go to the field to farm, but because there are very few men, in addition to the long-term work of the family during the busy farming period, they will always find some additional people to help and do some short-term work. Liu Qiang is a short-term worker of the Lu family, and he will come to do some work every year when the farm is busy, and he will eat and live in the Lu family.

So after coming and going, he gradually became familiar with it, and when he didn't have farm work, he would come to the Lu family to help out a little, and by the way, everyone in the Lu family knew Liu Qiang, and they also felt that Liu Qiang, a young man, was quite reliable and real.

Because of this, everyone can't accept that the person lying in the bathtub with corpse spots on his face stiff and his eyes open, and his eyes about to burst out is Liu Qiang.

A few days ago, he also came to the Lu family to help, this moment of hard work, a good person is gone, needless to say the Lu family, even other people in Quanxiu Village who have no friendship with Liu Qiang are also unacceptable.

The sudden death of someone in a good family is a disaster from heaven.

Lu Yishou's brows were wrinkled gloomily, in the face of such a situation, as the master, he didn't know what to do.

There were more and more people, and when the Lu family and some villagers in the same village heard the news of "dead people", they all gathered around to watch the excitement, and everyone talked about it and talked about it.

At this time, Lu Yishou had already called the strong family at home to move Liu Qiang's body out of the bathtub and put it on the ground that had been laid with wooden planks in advance.

The dead Liu Qiang was curled up and lying on the wooden plank laid on the ground, with his hands on his chest and his feet bent, the whole person looked like a shrimp girl, and it could be seen that he had experienced a lot of pain before his death.

However, from here, it looks like a heart attack or myocardial infarction that is too late to treat death.

"Let's let go, the village chief is here......"

With the sound of the voice, a tall middle-aged man with a box on his back was struggling to squeeze through the crowd and walk towards this side.

This middle-aged man's name is Liu Shangzhong, he worked under the general Xuanyuan Yu of the dynasty, and then suddenly returned to Quanxiu Village because of some things, the glorious history of the past made Liu Shangzhong have a great prestige in the village, so he became the head of Quanxiu Village, probably because of his previous experience, Liu Shangzhong has a very good set of investigating suspense cases, and has repeatedly cracked some strange and strange events in Quanxiu Village and neighboring villages, so everyone will ask him to come out if there is any strange thing.

"Who found this man first?"

Liu Shangzhong asked directly.

"It's my ......".

At this time, Hong'er had recovered from the shock and replied weakly.

"Please repeat to us the process of discovering this person in detail, it's okay, little girl, you talk slowly."

Liu Shangzhong looked at Hong'er.

"Miss Ye wanted to take a bath, so I went to prepare water, and when I lifted the water into the bathtub, I found ......", although she was not as scared as she was just now, but Hong'er still trembled all over her body when she recalled it.

"Miss Ye?"

"Well, hello village chief, my name is Ye Xiaoyu, I am a distant relative of the Lu family, I just arrived here today, and I haven't come to see the village chief and fellow villagers in a hurry."

Ye Xiaoyu slowly introduced herself.

"Xiaoyu is the daughter of my distant brother's family, and she just arrived here today."

Lu Yishou hurriedly responded.

"Miss Ye, is this the way the little girl said just now?"

Liu Zhongshang continued to ask.

"Yes, that's right. I...... I am a native of the South Wing, this year's South Wing flood is strict, my father and mother died of illness due to the loss of their homes and relatives, I can only come to this thousands of miles away from Yuejing to take refuge in Uncle Lu, on the way to this side and encounter robbers, the coiled and a few changes of clothes were robbed, I can only wear this set all the way here, I originally wanted to take a shower and make it clear and then visit everyone, but I didn't expect ......"

“…… Whining...... I didn't expect such a thing to happen, I am a living broom star, my parents both left me, and finally came to Uncle Lu's house and this happened again......"

Speaking of this, Ye Xiaoyu whimpered, and tears fell down her eyes.

The onlookers looked at Ye Xiaoyu, who was dressed in tatters and dirty, some people's eyes were a little red, and some even wiped their tears.

Some elderly women began to comfort Ye Xiaoyu.

"It's okay, girl, there is no flood here in Quanxiu Village, this person must have died because of his own abuse, it has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself......"

"The little girl lives well here, there is no flood here, and she is not afraid of it......"

"Xiaoyu, this is your home, don't think about the past......"

Lu Jiangping took a handkerchief for Ye Xiaoyu to wipe her face, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her in a low voice.

At this time, Liu Zhongshang, who had been squatting on the ground since he asked Ye Xiaoyu just now, stood up, had a small package in his hand, opened it, and everyone was in an uproar.
