The people present were all five big and three rough men, the kind that they nibbled on a sweet potato when they held it.

Pears also need to find spoons.

Yan Xueming had to stumble over a piece of clean pear food for him to taste.

Although the taste is very sweet, the aroma is overflowing. Between the lips and teeth, I felt like I was soaked in honey, and I only ate a little bit of pear food.

Wait until tomorrow when He Jiu comes, and bring all his people by the way, so that he will not have to suffer.

Before eating the pear food, the soldiers also tasted it first to see if it was poisonous, and then they were relieved to let the pear food taste it too.

"This is the old man's roast, you can keep one for someone too." Seeing that Ju Lingxue's hands were covered with sludge, she didn't know where she got it from, and it was not easy.

"Yes, sir."

"If he is okay tomorrow, give him some money when he is released."

"Yes, sir."

After saying this, Pear glanced at the bed she had set up, and finally decided to go to bed in full view of everyone.

Lifting the quilt, the kimono slipped in.

It was cold in the bed, and the air smelled of dust. I couldn't help frowning, although I don't have to be so elaborate outside, but I live in such a house as soon as I come up, and to be honest, it's still a little awkward.

There were so many people guarding, and the strange person who caught him couldn't escape, seeing him eating sweet potatoes in small bites, and after looking at them twice, he lay down.

Subconsciously, I don't want to look around the room.

He Jiu, when he arrives tomorrow, he must settle accounts with him.

Let him deliberately calculate him!

I don't know if I can fall asleep at night......

Perhaps because the resentment of the pear dish was too deep, He Jiu, who was still rushing at night at this moment, couldn't help but sneeze.

The subordinate next to him immediately followed: "General, are you okay?" Why don't you go and get a coat for you, after all, this is a more revealing ......"

"No, it's not cold. It must have been Rika-sama who was making bad things about me over there. A helpless smile appeared on He Jiu's face.

Vice General Yan has rarely followed pear dishes, but this time it was a coincidence, and the two of them suddenly got together.

It is estimated that Li Yu will think that he and Vice General Yan are passing him together, although He Jiu only knows about Vice General Yan's arrangement and does not object.

"General, you've been on the road for a day, why don't you rest for a while?" They had just come around from a long way away and made a special trip to Changyuan.

"Well, I don't care, the brothers have worked hard, so let's go to the front and find a place to rest and drink some water."

"Yes, General." The person who spoke was the deputy general of Fa, whose full name was Fa Xiang.

Fa Xiang and Yan Xueming have been following He Jiu for almost ten years, and they have been by his side since they were children, and they can be regarded as right-hand men.

Sometimes, I will lend it to help with pear dishes.

Fa Xiang had just accompanied He Jiu to solve a troubled mountain bandit in the south, and the year was unfavorable, and there was not much harvest in the field, so he thought about going up the mountain and falling into the grass.

At first, there was a small fight, nothing, and then it became the climate, and the indirect view of the place was a little uncontrollable, and it happened that He Jiu routinely inspected that place, and he helped solve it.

After hearing about Changyuan's incident, the general originally planned to go directly to that place, but there was an unexpected accident on the way.

The general received something special news, so he hurried back to the station, so the matter of Changyuan was delayed.

In fact, it didn't take long to delay, and a few days later, the general was on the road again, and then hurried to Changyuan.

Lord Pear is already waiting there, Yan Xueming follows Lord Pear, maybe there will be some jokes coming out.

Fa Xiang shook his head, sat casually under a tree, looked at his general's solid body, his face was thoughtful, and from time to time he showed a slight smile, which made people feel a little strange.

His own general is notoriously unsmiling, and Fa Xiang can't imagine what will make his own general so happy.

Or is it because it's related to the message you're receiving? But what kind of news did the general receive?

Fa Xiang took a bite of the steamed bun, then drank some water from the kettle, carefully packed up his things, and prepared to go to the intersection at any time.

After a little rest, everyone was back on the road.

He Jiu's temper is like this, if there is an emergency, there is no room for delay.

Speaking of which, the rumors that came out of Changyuan are indeed spreading more and more widely, and the more they spread, the more mysterious they become.

Although some people are still questioning the authenticity of this incident, there is no doubt that the murder is real, and the murder continues to happen, and the panic is growing.

In the end, I couldn't hold it back.

The rumors are varied, but, in general, the source of the matter is this.

Changyuan was originally a quiet and comfortable small village, with a total population of about 300 people.

Most of the people in the village make a living from farming, and although they are not particularly wealthy, they do not have to worry about food and clothing.

Until one day, the villagers found that the daughter-in-law of the Li family at the entrance of the village had died at home, and the mother-in-law did not know where to go.

hurriedly reported to the official and let the government deal with the matter.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family are very low-key on weekdays, almost do not interact with outsiders, and the pillar of the family has passed away due to illness for several years.

The daughter-in-law did not give birth to children, nor did she remarry, so she depended on her mother-in-law for her life, and she had never heard of offending anyone.

Therefore, the occurrence of this murder is also particularly strange.

The mother-in-law disappeared, and there was no trace of her in the whole village, and the most terrible thing was that the death of the daughter-in-law of the Li family was very tragic.

Not to mention that his whole body was stripped naked, and there were many scars on his body, especially on his chest.

Two different finger marks appeared on her breasts, and the degree of force ranged from bruises to poking into the flesh, which was already blackened and blood was scabbed.

Since the Li family's hut was at the entrance of the village, when the villagers found out, it was a little late, and the body had already begun to decompose.

It's too difficult to find the right person to compare with the traces on your body.

There is no way to even do it, so it can only be found out that the daughter-in-law of the Li family was strangled to death.

The most serious marks are on the neck.

Looking at the paw prints on the body, the nails are thin and don't look like human claws, and there are four palms, some people suspect that it was not a person who killed the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and the mother-in-law is missing, which can also mean that she was taken away.

It's been a long time, because the murderer has not been found, so everyone defaults to being an ominous thing, giving birth to a four-palm monster and killing the daughter-in-law of the Li family, probably because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the family are misbehaving.

There are rumors in the village that they once saw the daughter-in-law of the Li family having a close relationship with a strange man, but no one saw it with their own eyes, and no one else testified, so it could not be confirmed.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were killed for no reason, and the murderer could not be found, and the death was particularly miserable, so that rumors spread.

Some people are afraid in their hearts, and they keep preaching outside, saying that this matter was not done by people, and the implication is that there are ghosts and ghosts.

After this incident, about two or three months later, another incident occurred, and another woman was killed.

And the cause of death is very similar to the former.

So everyone said that this must be some kind of inappropriate woman, and the ghost and god have sent down the punishment.

Some people do not believe in evil and think that these rumors are all nonsense.

However, after a while, it happens again.

It started last spring and continued until this fall.

About seven people died, all seven of them women, and most of them were widows or women whose husbands were not at home.

Some were frightened to death, so they fled in a hurry, often in panic.

Others don't know where to run, so they have to live in the village. Because generations have settled here, they are not willing to leave.

Sensationally, one day it came out that it was actually the woman here in Changyuan who was cursed.

It is precisely because of the curse that it can be explained why it is a woman who dies, and why things always happen in one night, and when there is no sound, inexplicable people die.

And there was no movement at all, the woman suffered severe torture on her body before she died, all kinds of scars, thin ghost claws like dead branches, all over her body, and a pair of breasts were scratched with blood.

Especially the inappropriate women, the women who are not in line with the impropriety on weekdays, and those who still wander around outside at night, are not clear with other men. These will be punished by the Four Palms Ghost.

Their breasts would be pierced by the ghosts of the four palms as punishment, and finally they would be strangled to death.

Moreover, no one can run away from the women here, and no matter where they flee, they will be found in the end, and they can only live obediently and honestly, praying that disaster will not befall them.

It's just a matter of fate.

All of this is the fault of the woman, and for now it is the woman who is dead, and there are no old people, children, and men.

But who knows, who knows if they will be implicated along with them?

In order to escape this panic, the man found an excuse to go to other places to earn money to support his family, saying that it was the right time to pick up his wife and children from the family.

I'm a farmer myself, and I don't have any handiwork, so I can't support myself if I know how to make a living outside.

So for such a statement, it is actually just a lie, and the naïve wife can only believe it.

As a result, more and more men fled, and gradually only orphans, widows, and weak women were left in the village.

Just like the scene that Rika saw when she arrived at that place, there were hardly a few men in sight.

The matter here in Changyuan was spread so much that it caused panic among the people around him and affected the stability of the place.

In the end, he recruited two people, He Jiu and Pear Cuisine.
