Lin Songyao didn't remember the rest very clearly, he only knew that he was calling his mother and Chen Yuan over and over again, but his body was completely soft, and his brain was buzzing, as if there were countless bees shouting inside.

He was awakened by the sound of "dong", a sound he was familiar with, and every day, he was awakened by such a "dong" sound. It was the sound of my mother chopping bones, and the soba noodles she made were made with mutton broth, so every day before dawn, she would get up and boil a pot of mutton bone broth.

He had seen the bone cleaver, with a thick hilt, a thick and sharp edge, and a great weight. He tried to take it himself, and found that the knife was heavy in his hand, let alone severing bones with it up and down. For this reason, he admires his mother very much, how can a woman, if she is not forced by life, accumulate more strength than a man, and wield a big knife freely.

But there has been a famine recently, and the butcher who delivers meat in the countryside has been in the middle for half a month, what is my mother cutting with this knife?

Lin Songyao had already thought of it, but he didn't want to admit it, until the door of the house opened and his mother came out of it with a big bucket, he spit out "wow", one bite after another, and his body trembled as if it was about to fall apart.

"You killed him...... You killed Chen Yuan......"

The tangled hair on her mother's forehead covered all her eyes, and there were a few drops of blood on the lower half of her face, not much, but they were particularly abrupt by her pale complexion.

Lin Songyao felt that he didn't know the person covered by his hair and those eyes. Once upon a time, she was his backer, everything he relied on in the world? It is also the future he strives to build. But this moment? All of this collapsed, the man in his eyes? Shed the last disguise? Turned into a butcher who came out of the underworld.

The barrel was covered with a white cloth, and the cloth collapsed softly? He could faintly discern the shape of the bone underneath, pointy? Finger ...... It's a finger...... Chen Yuan's fingers are very thin? The joints are not obvious, like a girl.

"You killed him...... You killed him......"

Lin Songyao went crazy and rushed forward with all the strength he had left, but his grandmother covered his mouth.

"Don't bark? Child? Don't scream, good ...... He died before our mother could live, your mother, your mother and her had no choice. ”

Grandmother's old wrinkled palms smelled of inferior tobacco, so much so that until now? He was sick at the smell of it.

"Stop screaming, people are gone? It's not good to be heard by his family......"

As she spoke, her mother had already walked to the door with a bucket? A bolt of lightning slashed the sky and illuminated her silhouette? Such a thin woman? How did you cut Chen Yuan into a bucket of bones?

Mother didn't look at her? In this world, it seems that she is left alone and the group of wild ghosts she raises.

Lin Songyao was so hooped that he fainted, and the moment his eyes closed, he saw his mother uncover the white cloth on the wooden barrel and throw a blood-red thing on the slippery stone road outside the door that was soaked in rain, and the thing disappeared as soon as it landed, and he knew that he was eaten by the group of wild ghosts squatting outside the door.

"The two of them left in the middle of the night yesterday, and I was drunk at the time, so I didn't wake you up, and I listened to the conversation, I wanted to go to the Wubi Pavilion. But today, there is someone over there, Master Lin disappeared last night, and that Zhao Gongzi's head was hit by someone somebody, and now he is unconscious, and the people he is traveling with are making trouble in the pavilion. ”

Lin Songyao listened to the reply of his personal servant while hurriedly dressing up, and several maids came to serve, but they were all pushed away by him. In his dream, he saw Chen Yuan again, he was still the same as when he was a child, white and delicate, smiling faintly, revealing two dimples embedded in the corners of his mouth, as pure as the blue sky outside the window.

"When did you find out?" He hurriedly asked the little guy who was standing beside the bed.

"This morning, they first found Zhao Gongzi lying in the patio, and then Master Lin didn't come to the Wubi Pavilion, and someone went to look for him where he lived, only to find that the person was gone. However, now no one knows that Master Lin went to the pavilion with Zhao Gongzi last night, and no one knows why they went to the Wubi Pavilion in the middle of the night, so we know what is going on. The little guy replied truthfully.

As she was talking, the door of the house was pushed open with a "bang", and the person Lin Songyao didn't want to see appeared at the door, and the sunlight shone down from behind her, casting a dark shadow in front of the door.

"All out." Aunt Rong glanced at a few people in the room with an expressionless face, and no one could read the color in her eyes, "Don't forget, take your dirty things out with you." ”

She added, gesturing to the tacky green sweat towel on the bed.

A maid was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed the sweat towel in her hand, and went out behind a few people, and in the room, only Aunt Rong and Lin Songyao were left, looking at each other, and the expressions on their faces were more and more ruthless.

"I knew it was you," Aunt Rong took a step closer to her son, half-squatting down, and there were two gleams in her eyes, "Except for me and you, no one can tell Master Lin to move." Now that things are getting bigger, it's what you wanted? Do you know who that Zhao Gongzi is? Now that he has made it like this, you and I, including the Infinite Pavilion, may not be able to keep it. ”

Lin Songyao stared at the face in front of him, which was already showing its old state, the fierce wrinkles on it and the bright gold teeth made him feel dazzling, "People are not killed?" You didn't hurt people? What, you're scared? Are you reluctant to be rich and glorious, or are you afraid of being exposed, so that the world can see that your Wu Guirong's hands are covered with blood? ”

A "snap" in the mouth hit him in the face, and it hurt spicy. Lin Songyao touched his face, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, "Angry?" Tell me what's on your mind? Mother, you look at ease before and after, why are you revealing your true colors today? ”

He watched with satisfaction at the burning anger on his face, and suddenly his body relaxed, leaned back, leaned lazily on the bed, picked up a sachet casually, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently.

But suddenly, Lin Songyao saw that the anger on his mother's face disappeared, revealing a smile hidden underneath, as proud as the smile on his face.

His heart pounded.

"You think you're clean?" Aunt Rong bit her lower lip, her smile seemed to be engraved on her face, Sensen, more terrifying than not smiling, "That night, Chen Yuan came to look for you, if it weren't for that, he would never have died." Also," she leaned forward a little, grabbed Lin Songyao's chin, and forced him to look at herself, "Also, after so many years, you have never reported to the official, and you don't even dare to go back to Qianxi Town." You know why? Because you are an accomplice, the accomplice who killed Chen Yuan. ”
