Chapter 18: One Man Missing

Someone found a door panel and parked it on the ground, and everyone lifted Zhang Caixia to the door panel. A few brave women www.biquge.info help scrub the blood stains off the kang.

Zhang Baozheng raised his hand to wipe Zhang Caixia's face, wiped Zhang Caixia's eyes three times before closing, and the rags in her mouth were cleaned up by everyone.

Her breasts. No one dared to touch the scissors in front of her, and her hands were still tightly gripping the scissors. Zhang Baozheng broke it twice and didn't break it, and he didn't dare to continue to use brute force.

covered Zhang Caixia's body with a white cloth, and the neighbor Aunt Wang brought a basin of clean water, and together with Aunt Li, Zhang Caixia's head and face were scrubbed, and then the white cloth was lifted to cover the head and face.

The east family made some things, the west family made some efforts, and in less than an hour, the mourning shed was set up in the courtyard, and everyone carried Zhang Caixia to the mourning shed.

Incense, candles, and offerings were soon prepared, and everyone went to the mourning hall to worship.

The tragic death at home for no reason at a young age is embarrassing. Except for a few women who gathered around Zhang Liu to comfort and persuade her, the rest of the people gathered together and talked softly, and most of them shook their heads and sighed, sympathizing with Zhang Caixia and hating the murderer.

"This is really sitting behind closed doors, and disaster will come from heaven." Qian Youde, the only talent in the village, is in his sixties this year, holding a few goatees left, and shaking his head as soon as he speaks.

"Who's to say it isn't? This child's life is too bitter, and he died so miserably. Aunt Wang raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, after more than ten years of neighborly relations, Zhang Caixia suddenly suffered a catastrophe, and even she couldn't accept it.

Aunt Li threw a rag in her hand on the table hatefully: "Eight lambs! If you catch the one who has been stabbed a thousand times, you should peel the skin, cramp, and roll the oil pot, and he will not die well if he thunders and splits every day. ”

Zhang Baozheng led everyone to help do this and that, and kept him busy. Just helped the Niu family to do a happy event, and then helped the Zhang family to do a funeral.

"Uncle Zhang, when will you be buried?" Liu Erzhu, who was next door to Zhang's house, had just helped set up the funeral shed, and ran over to ask Zhang Baozheng when he was buried.

"Alas," Zhang Baozheng sighed: "It's hard to say." "The time of the burial is not something that Zhang Baozheng can give, firstly, it depends on the meaning of the owner, and secondly, he must report this matter to the county.

If no one knows, it's okay to say, now that the whole village knows about it, he has the responsibility to report it, and he doesn't dare to hide it privately.

As soon as Liu Erzhu heard that the date of the burial had not yet been decided, he hurried forward and said, "Those who are dead have to be carried out quickly, and it is not a matter to park at home all the time." ”

"You said lightly, this matter is not neat, can people agree to be buried?" Zhang Baozheng's facial features were all gathered together for a meeting, and there was a murder in the village, and he was duty-bound.

Others are watching the lively mentality, but he is full of sadness. He is Baozheng, and there is such a big thing in the village, he has to give an explanation to the top.

The new magistrate is not very accommodating, and I heard that he is a young man who is less than twenty years old. Zhang Baozheng sighed deeply again, can people compare with others?

He became the county master at the age of nineteen, Shixi Village has only had one show talent in the past hundred years, and Qian Youde is still a show talent in his sixties, and he has no inch.

"In my opinion, it's not that easy to figure out." Liu Erzhu glanced at Zhang Caixia who stopped in the spirit shed, and also sighed: "Maybe the robbers came from somewhere, and they didn't see their heads and faces clearly." ”

Without waiting for Liu Erzhu to finish speaking, Zhang Baozheng shook his head and walked away. I'm afraid this murder case is going to hang like this, and there is no clue at all.

The dead are dead, and the living have not seen the true face of the villain. Their sister-in-law and sister-in-law have not had much contact with others, and they have never had a grudge against anyone.

Even robbers will not target their families, they can provide for their own food is already good, where will thieves be recruited if there is no surplus food at home?

Premeditated crimes are not terrible, as long as you follow the vine, you can always find clues. I'm afraid of unpremeditated agitation. The crime is sudden, and there is no logic at all.

There is no way to find out where the murderer came from and where he ran to.

Everyone is guessing who the murderer will be, and everyone's guesses are basically the same, just like Liu Erzhu said, the murderer must be an outsider.

Who in this village can be so ruthless? The people in this village have lived here for generations, and everyone has an inextricable kinship, whether near or far.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I really couldn't believe that such a thing would have happened. Shixi Village has always been peaceful, and even such a trivial thing as stealing has never happened.

"Erzhuzi, where is your brother?" Aunt Li came over and grabbed Liu Erzhu, and asked angrily, "If there is such a big thing, your brother can't even come to see it?" ”

The Liu family and the Zhang family live next door, and usually the Zhang family has some big and small affairs, and the brothers of the Liu family come to help, and the relationship between the Liu family and the Zhang family is the closest in the whole village.

Liu Erzhu was a little stunned by Aunt Li's question, he looked around, but he didn't see his brother Liu Dazhu. "He, he probably doesn't know yet."

Liu Erzhu hurriedly ran out of the house when he heard Zhang Liu's scream, and in a hurry, he jumped over the wall, and he was the first person to rush to Zhang's house.

He has been busy until now, and he didn't care about seeing who was coming from his family, and after Aunt Li's question, he found out that his brother didn't come.

Not to mention how terrible Zhang Liu's screams pierced the night sky, let's just say that he built a spirit shed and carried people, this courtyard was turned upside down, and there was no reason why his eldest brother couldn't hear it.

Liu Erzhu's gaze drifted away and looked at the courtyard of the Niu family. Today is the big day for the Niu family to marry their daughter-in-law, and it is also the most uncomfortable day for his eldest brother.

The daughter-in-law married by the Niu family is a girl that Liu Dazhu has had a crush on for many years, and the Liu family has also come to the door to propose marriage, but the Liu family is not as wealthy as the Niu family, everyone wants their daughter to marry a good family, Liu Dazhu can only watch his sweetheart marry someone else.

"I'll look for him." Liu Erzhu guessed that his brother must have drunk too much, otherwise how could he not come and take a look at such a big movement in this courtyard?

The clothes of their brothers are not less troublesome for Zhang Caixia to sew, and the two brothers often help them pick up water or something, they live in the neighborhood, and they are usually very close.

Liu Erzhu didn't go out of the door, and jumped back to his yard as soon as he pressed the head of the earthen wall. His brother Liu Dazhu lived in the wing room on the right, he didn't enter the house, he directly patted the window and shouted, "Brother, open the door." ”

After a few pats, no one answered, he dragged the door open and walked in, but he didn't expect that there was no one in the room. He came out to look at the thatched house, but he didn't find Liu Dazhu.
