The next day was the first day of the new year, and before dawn outside, Wu Ye woke up.

This time, he didn't laze his bed as usual, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he crawled up vigorously.

Yun Niang lit the oil lamp and helped him put on the new clothes he had prepared.

Wu Ye slid off the bed, said hello to Yun Niang, then took the cloth bag that had been prepared for him earlier, and ran out in a hurry.

Because Abu had already told him that at the beginning of the new year, he could go from house to house to pay New Year's greetings.

As long as your legs are diligent and your mouth is diligent, you can receive a lot of delicious and fun food, and you will have New Year's money to take.

There is only one time a year, so you can't miss it.

After Wu Ye ran out, Yun Niang and Abu also got up one after another.

As the sky outside slowly brightens, there will definitely be many students and children coming to the house one after another to pay New Year's greetings. At that time, if you are still in bed, you will only be left with the handle of being ridiculed by the people in the valley.

Both of them have changed into new clothes, Yun Niang is wearing a red dress, with a delicate fit, a beautiful neck and bright eyes, and a beautiful face. Abu's eyes were a little straight when he saw it, and he couldn't help but talk about it again, praising Yun Niang in a good mood.

Abu was dressed in a reddish-brown brocade robe, and if he wore a felt hat, he would be dressed like a small landlord in later generations. Abu had never dressed like this before, but he thought it was funny.

After a short time, several waves of children came, and some people shouted "sir" and "female sir" outside the courtyard, and "we have come to greet you for the New Year".

Abu Yunniang opened the door, hurriedly welcomed them in, and greeted them with a smile.

There are also more honest children, after seeing Abu and Yun Niang, they didn't say anything, and just knelt on the ground, and "Bang Bang" was a few rings.

Yun Niang was so distressed that she hurriedly helped them up, and inevitably stuffed more dried fruits and copper coins into her pockets and bags, so honest people don't suffer!

After a while, the sky was already bright, and there was already the sound of people's talking and laughter outside, and the smoke of cooking was rising from every house.

At this moment, Wu Ye ran back, his forehead was sweating, and he didn't forget to carry his full cloth bag that had been stuffed.

Panting, he said to Abu, "Master...... Master, Li Bao'er... Li Bao'er's family is really strange, no one has gotten up yet. You go and take a look~, no one opened the door after knocking for a long time. ”

Abu has a special impression of Li Baoer, a girl, with big eyes, smiles when she sees people, and has a sweet mouth, and her grandparents, uncles and aunts keep screaming all day long, which is very likable.

Wu Ye likes to play with her the most, every time Yun Niang makes him delicious and buys something fun, he always has to leave half of it for Li Baoer.

Once Yun Niang made a joke about Wu Ye, saying that when we grow up, we will marry Bao'er and be your daughter-in-law, okay?

Wu Ye, who has always been very thick-skinned and looks like a stingy boy, turned red this time, and didn't dare to answer Yun Niang's words, so she turned around and ran into the house, and didn't show up for a long time, which shows that Wu Ye really likes Li Baoer.

Seeing Wu Ye's flushed face due to anxiety, Yun Niang wiped his sweat with a towel, teased Wu Ye, and said to Abu: "Go quickly, we Wu Ye miss his little daughter-in-law." ”

Wu Ye didn't pay attention to Yun Niang's jokes, so he was very anxious to pull Abu's sleeve and walk towards Li Bao'er's house.

Li Baoer's father, Li Youde, is a middle-aged man who is silent and silent, and has been following Bai Boda to be responsible for playing iron and steel. Although he doesn't talk much, he is willing to work hard, and he is very appreciated by Bai Boda.

Whenever Bai Boda taught his son Tietou, he always took Li Youde as an example.

Wu Ye first ran to the door of Li Bao'er's house, and banged on him.

There was no movement at all, and it stands to reason that the crowds were sparse and the environment was quiet; In addition, there is no sound of firecrackers now, so such a loud knock on the door should be audible.

Abu stepped forward and looked through the crack in the door, and found that the door was inserted backwards from the inside, and he knocked a few times, but there was still no movement.

At this time, Bai Boda, who was next door, heard the movement and walked out.

Seeing that it was Abu and them, he congratulated them on a happy new year, and muttered that Youde is usually very diligent, what is wrong today?

But when I saw him last night, it seemed that his mood was not very high, and his face was gloomy, as if he had something on his mind.

After listening to Bai Boda's words, Abu's heart chuckled and said, "I'll jump in and take a look." ”

With that, he lifted up his shirt, climbed through the low wall beside him, and came to the door again, pulled out the door plug and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened a crack, Wu Ye got in, and shouted as he ran: "Li Bao'er, Li Bao'er, get up, I'll bring you something delicious!" ”

Then he pushed open the door of the main house, and just as he wanted to go inside, he suddenly stopped, and then let out a "ah, ah" cry out of his mouth, and stepped back step by step, and finally hit Abu directly behind him.

He seemed to have seen something terrifying, but he just clung to Abu's trouser leg tightly and shouted "Master, Master" in a monotonous voice.

Abu put his arm around his shoulders and glanced inside from the open door, and suddenly a tingling chill jumped up from the tip of his tail, his scalp exploded, and a chilling sensation swept through his body.

I saw Li Youde sitting on a low stool in the hall, his eyes staring straight forward, there was a red-black wound between his neck that had solidified, a kitchen knife fell from his right hand, his body and the ground were full of dried blood, and the charcoal fire next to him had also been extinguished, obviously he had been dead for a long time.

Abu hurriedly covered Wu Ye's eyes and twisted him to the back. Bai Boda, who followed later, also saw the scene in the house, and his complexion also changed greatly.

"Aunt Xu, you can help take care of Xiaoye first." Abu said to Xu who had just walked through the gate through the courtyard wall.

Then he said to Wu Ye, "Xiao Ye, it's okay, you go home and play with your sister first, I'll take a look." ”

Wu Ye, the little child, should have been overly frightened, his face was pale, and he didn't cry, but he only knew to hold Abu's shirt tightly.

Xu Shi obviously realized what was going on, and hurriedly hugged Wu Ye over and said, "Let's go, Xiaoye, let's go and play with the female gentleman." ”

Abu and Bai Boda walked into the house one after another, and a few neighbors came in one after another, probably listening to what Xu said.

The situation quickly became clear, because on the table next to Li Youde, there was a densely written white paper.

He has already explained what happened very clearly: last night, on Chinese New Year's Eve, he killed his wife and daughter with a kitchen knife while they were asleep; Then he sat down again, finished writing the paper, and committed suicide with a knife.

On the bed in the bedroom of the back room, in the blood-soaked bedding, there were two dead bodies, one large and one small, which were Li Youde's wife and daughter Bao'er. The heavy smell of blood seemed to freeze in the air, gathering but not dissipating, impacting everyone's breath and nerves.

Abu read this paper several times, his face was pale, his lips twitched from time to time, and he was obviously trying his best to control the emotions in his heart.

On the paper, the handwriting is neat, and every stroke is outlined very clearly and seriously, indicating that Li Youde is very calm when writing these contents, and there is no fluctuation in his emotions.

The paper reads: "Mr. Abu, when you read this letter, I have taken my wife and children and ascended to heaven with my wife and children, and I will be with the glory of my Lord forever!"

Thanks to Mr. for his great kindness, saving the virtuous family from fire and water, such kindness, although death is difficult to repay!

But today, Mr. Virtuous does not agree with the idea of religion.

Although the science advocated by Mr. is very instructive; But my lord's supernatural powers are vast and omnipotent, and he is not comparable to ordinary people!

Sir compares all living beings to our Lord, which is a grave violation of our Lord's dignity! Virtue can't stand it!

My Lord makes all things, My Lord gives me life, and my heart belongs to my Lord long ago!

I wanted to bring all the old and young in the basin with my own strength, and return to the arms of my lord; However, last night's vigil, it is not appropriate to do it, so I can only go back with my wife and daughter, which is a pity!

I love my husband, and I love my lord even more!

You're here!

Abu read the paper several more times before handing it to the person next to him. His face was gloomy and terrifying, and he walked back and forth between the bedroom and the hall in the back room.

Looking at the two corpses in the pool of blood on the bed in the bedroom, one large and one small, and looking at the body of Li Youde in the hall, Abu felt that he was about to explode, and various emotions such as anger, fear, and sorrow were intertwined, holding in his chest, and there was nowhere to vent.

Thinking of the little corpse of Li Bao'er curled up in one place on the bed, I can no longer see the innocent smiling face of this innocent child, never hear her call her husband in a sweet voice, and no longer see her and Wu Ye playing together as if they were not guessing.

Thinking of Li Youde's calm and chilling words on the paper book, suddenly, Abu let out a roar, slammed his fist against the wall, his head kept hitting the wall, and he cried out: "Li Youde, you brute, bastard, you dog mongrel!" ”

Abu's voice was hoarse and terrible, like a badly wounded beast!

Everyone's mood was very complicated and different, but everyone couldn't believe their eyes, and they couldn't believe that Li Youde, who was usually low-spoken and honest, could commit such a brutal act.

The calm and cruel words on the paper book made everyone feel a trace of happiness and deep fear for his evil and tyranny.

If it weren't for the New Year, wouldn't it be appropriate to start, would it harm more innocent people? The consequences are unimaginable!

Bai Boda and the others hurriedly came up to persuade each other and grabbed Abu, they had never seen Abu like this.

Abu has always given the impression of being approachable and strategic, always with a smile on his face, and the warmth of the sun, he always brings people the strength and confidence to settle down.

But looking at Abu, who was criing with his head, everyone realized that he was just a young man in his twenties.
