Chapter 276: The Heart of Grass
Xiao Yao glanced at him angrily: "Let me say that she must have done a lot of bad things from time to time, and it is true that there are ghosts in her heart." ”
Chu Qingruo also agreed with her statement: "Yes, I have already asked Song Xiuzhu in Xiushu, and Song Xiuzhu said that everyone will have a sense of self in their hearts, and when she firmly believes that she is being abused, it is natural that there will be traces of abuse and beatings on her body." This is a method similar to soul transfer hypnosis, but she inadvertently asked this soul transfer technique to be used on herself. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Qingruo thought to himself: I don't know if Zhang Hong's case has anything to do with this Demon God Sect?
While they were talking, Shen Shan just stepped into the door: "My lord, someone is beating the drum and crying out!"
Chu Qingruo immediately called for ascension.
Kneeling in the hall was a young man with a blue nose and swollen eyes, and a bleeding head, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a aggrieved face. Kneeling beside him was a "woman" who was dressed as a woman, speaking and acting in a twisted manner, and there was a little baby who was thinly wrapped by "her" hands and cared for like a calf.
"Which of you is the defendant and who is the sufferer? What's wronged? Chu Qingruo knocked on the startling wood and asked in a deep voice.
The young man with a bleeding head spoke first: "Villain Loudong, you want to sue my father!" As he spoke, he pointed his hand at the stout "woman", and continued indignantly: "Villain, villain wants to accuse him of unfaithfulness and unfilial piety, he has been away from home for several years and has not returned, he has not supported his parents, and he has abandoned his wife and children. The villain stepped forward to recognize him, but who knew that he not only didn't recognize the villain, but also punched and kicked the villain. As he spoke, the young man covered his face with his sleeves aggrievedly and began to cry.
When the "woman" on the side heard this, she immediately became angry, pinched her throat and said: "My lord, the slave family's name is Zhong Xiuyu, this is the son of the slave family, the slave family's husband passed away six years ago, and the slave family raised the child while keeping the festival. If you don't believe adults, you can go and inquire, no one in the village knows that the slave family is a chaste martyr who has been praised, but this little thief came to my house for some reason, and when he saw the slave family, he moved his hands and feet, and the slave family tore up and fought with him. Who knew that he couldn't beat me, but ...... He fell on his knees and dishonored me, and called me...... Daddy! After that, he rolled up his sleeves and cried.
At this moment, if a delicate lady makes such a posture, she is charming and moving, and it is pleasing to the eye. can be replaced by this strong butcher who is black and strong, and I don't know if it's a man or a woman, but it's ridiculous, and everyone in the audience laughs.
Chu Qingruo knocked on the startling wood again, and the officials on both sides hurriedly straightened their faces and shouted in unison: "Might~" Everyone was silent.
Listening to her voice, it was clearly a man pinching his throat, but the little baby in her arms called her affectionately from time to time: "Mother", Chu Qingruo was surprised, what is the reason for this?
After calling the village chief and the neighbors on the left and right to lead the residents one by one, Chu Qingruo found that although these people's statements were consistent with the woman's, their expressions seemed to be eager to say something, and it seemed that there should be something else hidden.
After retiring from the hall, Chu Qingruo sent a guard to the young man's hometown to inquire about the news.
In the next few days, she took on several more cases, and she was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground all day long, and she didn't even have time to sleep. Seeing her like this, Gao Bo was distressed, but because of his identity, he couldn't do anything.
"Master."
After being busy with the things at hand, Chu Qingruo, who finally got free, called Xiao Yao, and the two painted their faces yellow, and together they pretended to be a mother and daughter who came to the countryside to find relatives.
When she arrived at the village where Zhong Xiuyu's house was located, Chu Qingruo helped Xiao Yao to her neighbor Zhu's sister-in-law's house: "Auntie, we are looking for relatives from other places, can we ask you for water to drink and rest?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhu warmly beckoned them into the courtyard and sat down. Chu Qingruo took the water she handed over, pretended to take a sip, and asked, "Auntie, may I ask who lives next door?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhu's face immediately changed color, and she asked ugly: "Girl, why are you asking about this?" ”
Seeing this, Xiao Yao hurriedly smiled: "This sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law asked abruptly, she wanted to see if we were looking for someone, and she didn't mean anything else." ”
"Oh, you're here to find someone, too." Sister-in-law Zhu's face eased at this time.
Chu Qingruo nodded yes, pretending to be curious and asked, "What?" Is there always someone in this family who comes to look for relatives? ”
"That's not it, it's just that a few days ago, an afterlife boy came, saying that he was here to find his father." As soon as Sister-in-law Zhu talked about this, the expression on her face became both frightened and awe-inspiring, she looked around cautiously, lowered her voice and said, "You are looking for someone to look elsewhere, and the family next door is definitely not the person you are looking for...... That family's aunt is not a mortal! ”
Chu Qingruo listened to her incoherent words, and after saying this mysteriously, he glanced at Xiao Yao, turned his head, and asked pretending to be interested: "Oh? Auntie, let's hear it? ”
As soon as Sister-in-law Zhu wanted to open the chatterbox, she saw Zhong Xiuyu next door just coming out to splash water, and glanced at her fiercely, her eyes were gloomy, and Sister-in-law Zhu's face turned white: "Don't say it, don't say it, you guys should leave quickly after drinking water!" ”
Chu Qingruo was stunned, glanced at Xiao Yao, and saw that she quietly shook her head at her, so she had to give up. Put down the bowl of water and get up to say goodbye. The two deliberately stopped and went, and after seeing Zhong Xiuyu return to the room, they returned to Sister-in-law Zhu's house.
Sister-in-law Zhu opened the door and couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that it was still them: "Why are you again?" ”
Chu Qingruo laughed with her: "Auntie, you said half of what you said, and I didn't say anything about my curiosity, I was really uncomfortable." Auntie, please, please, just be kind enough to tell me! ”
Sister-in-law Zhu was helpless, raised her eyes and glanced at the next door, and when she saw that there was no movement, she led them into the house, and then said: "Sister-in-law Zhong next door died in her early years, leaving her alone with a son who was only three months old, and lived by helping others wash and sew. Soon she fell ill. At first, it was a mild cough, but after a year or two, I started coughing up blood. A year ago, she left a child less than three years old, who died quietly at home alone. ”
Chu Qingruo and Xiao Yao were taken aback when they heard this: "Dead? So now this ...... Be......? ”
Sister-in-law Zhu looked shocked and lowered her voice: "Shhh, be quiet." We also heard the boy of the Zhong family crying all night, and only went to check the next day that we learned that the sister-in-law of the Zhong family was dead. Seeing that their mother and son were pitiful, the village chief mobilized the villagers to scrape together some money to bury the Zhong family's sister-in-law. originally wanted to adopt the Zhong family's son, but who knew that on the day of the Zhong family's sister-in-law's first seventh, suddenly the current one came. ”
Chu Qingruo became more and more surprised: "You all know who he is?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhu showed a compassionate look when she heard this: "Yes, everyone in our village knows that he is not the sister-in-law of the Zhong family, but who knows if there is such a thing as a god in the world?" After we saw him coming, we could recognize all of us in the mourning hall, not only our names, but even what we had said to the Zhong family's sister-in-law before. And her behavior and demeanor are so similar to the Zhong family's sister-in-law, we, we have to believe that this is the Zhong family's sister-in-law who is not worried about her son, borrowing the corpse to return the soul. In order for the Zhong family boy to have someone take good care of him, so the whole village is ......."
Resurrection of the dead? It's ridiculous. If Chu Qing was full of poetry and books, he would not believe that there were any gods and monsters in this world. It seems that all the mysteries can only be found in the "sister-in-law of the Zhong family" who "borrowed the corpse to return the soul".
The two said goodbye to Sister-in-law Zhu and returned to the mansion. As soon as Gao Bo saw the two of them coming back, he hurriedly greeted them, and said angrily: "My lord! You, why didn't you explain and went out alone, if you were in any danger, what did you call me...... How to explain to Brother Fu! ”
Xiao Yao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Chu Qingruo, Chu Qingruo's heart was empty: "I was in a hurry to leave in the morning, I forgot to talk to General Gao." ”
Gao Bo looked her up and down: "Where have you been?" Did you get hurt or bumped? ”
Chu Qingruo smiled apologetically: "It's okay, it's okay, we just went to that village to inquire about the news, you see, didn't I come back safe and sound?" As he spoke, he turned around and said that he was fine, "Besides, isn't there a master who goes together?" ”
Gao Bo seemed to have just noticed Xiao Yao standing on the side, seeing her burning eyes, her eyes seemed to understand something, and he felt weak for a while, and quickly lowered his head and opened his eyes: "Hey, hey, yes, I'm too nervous." You...... If only you would have returned safely. But in the future, adults must borrow it and bring it with them when they go out...... Guards. He wanted to say that he would take him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so the words turned around again.
In the evening, when Xiao Yao asked her if Gao Bo liked her, Chu Qingruo chuckled and told her about the past of the three of them in childhood. After listening, Xiao Yao keenly pointed out that maybe Gao Bo still had feelings for her. Chu Qingruo lowered her eyes and said with a smile that it was impossible, but in her heart she remembered another man she hadn't thought of for a long time. Gao Bo is different from that man, and he will never transgress in any way. If she meets the right girl, she will pay attention to it for him.
Just when their conversation was rising, a small catcher from the government came in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, something happened!" ”
Chu Qingruo hurriedly stood up and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Zhu quickly gasped and said intermittently: "The people of the state capital now know about the Zhong family's resurrection of the corpse, and they all say that the Zhong family's sister-in-law is a demon of the Demon God Sect, and now a large number of people rush to her house, saying that they will burn her and the child!" ”
