Chapter II: Bloodshed

"It's a young man, and he's quite handsome, but I don't know why, he's alone, fatherless and motherless, with only a little guy by his side."

"But why would a man with a lot of money buy that broken yard?" Song Yao asked this sentence, her sister-in-law Chen Sui didn't care, she just said who knows and brought it over, but she herself was in her heart, and wrinkled two thin willow eyebrows into contemplation.

Just thinking about it, there were two "dong dong" sounds on the courtyard gate, and Song Huan, who was basking in the sun in the courtyard, asked who it was, and reluctantly got up from the chair and opened the door.

"Yo, Young Master Qiu, why are you here?"

Song Huan's tone suddenly became much more polite, and Song Yao turned her head and looked into the courtyard through the window. She saw a man, not tall, but his face was white and neat, and his two eyebrows were curved, which set off the eyes below with a little more smile. However, his lips were a little too rosy, red as if they had been coated with lip grease, but there was something about a boy and a girl.

"This is the Qiu Gongzi who just moved over, he looks good, right?" Chen Sui pushed Song Yao with his elbow, and there was a little more excitement in his tone, "You say, what is he doing at our house?" Just moved in, and don't know each other? ”

"Neighbors, always say hello, and take care of them in the future." Song Yao answered absentmindedly, for some reason, she didn't have any good feelings for this good-looking man, not at all.

"Young Master Qiu, come to the house, come home, take something, it's too polite." Song Huan's big voice sounded again, he took the box in the man's hand, opened it and looked inside, and said in surprise, "Yo, this fresh vine rape cake is my little sister's favorite food, she likes it when she sees it." ”

"What, Brother Song has a younger sister?" When this sentence was asked, the man's eyes glanced at the window, intentionally or unintentionally, and his gaze penetrated through the window edge and swept over Song Yao's face.

Song Yao felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, her body shook suddenly, and she stood up from her sister-in-law's side. She felt disgusting, for some reason, when she was swept by the man's gaze.

"Xiao Yao, what's wrong? Not feeling well? ”

Before Chen Sui's words fell, Song Huan's voice came, "Little sister, if it's convenient for you, come out to meet the guests, in the future, Gongzi Qiu and we will be neighbors, he is not familiar with this place, and we need to take care of something more." ”

Song Yao's brows locked and locked, and she said to Chen Sui, "If you want me to meet a man who is not married, brother, is he crazy, sister-in-law, you just say that I am sick and it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”

After that, she lay down on the bed in anger, and made up her mind not to go out even if a few cows pulled her.

Chen Suiben also felt that Song Huan's behavior was inappropriate, so he went out by himself and said according to Song Yao's words. Qiu Gongzi heard what she meant, so he only said that he would come to visit next time, and said goodbye. As soon as he left, Song Yao came out immediately, glared at Song Huan, and said outside the courtyard, "Brother, I don't like to eat any fresh vine flower cakes for a long time, don't make your own decisions in the future." ”

She deliberately raised her voice, as if she was afraid that the person who had just left the door would not be able to hear.

***

On the sixth day of the man's move, there was a bloody crime in the city.

The case almost happened under Song Yao's nose, so she couldn't sleep well for several nights, and as soon as she closed her eyes, the terrifying scene replayed in her mind.

That day, she and her sister-in-law went to the street to buy some needlework work, and as soon as the two of them walked under Guangjuxuan, they heard a "poof" behind them, as if something had exploded on the ground.

When she looked back, a large pool of milky white paste had spread down the ground, spilling over to the hem of her shoe. She instinctively took a few steps back, only to find that there was a layer of gray foaming unknown substance floating on the white paste, and beyond that, there were large patches of bright red blood, splashing everywhere, and a little dazzling red in the sunlight.

"I fell from the building, and I fell to my death." I don't know who shouted sharply,

Chen Suideng's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground, and when Song Yao left in a panic, he couldn't help but glance there again.

This sight made her regret it for the next few days, for she saw half of the broken head, red and white and gray in it, but the eyeballs were still embedded in the missing sockets, but there was no light, like the gray eyes of a dead fish.

"Amitabha, Xiao Yao, let's go, let's go, don't get into bad luck."

Chen Sui was so frightened that he didn't dare to fix his eyes, so he only trembled and grabbed Song Yao's hand and walked out against the flow of people.

Song Yao felt a little stuffy in her chest, and a sour feeling blocked her throat, and she couldn't go up or down. She took a deep breath and raised her head, but the next moment, she suddenly gasped and froze in place, no matter how much her sister-in-law dragged her, she couldn't take a step forward.

She saw the man, the man with the surname Qiu next to her, sitting at a table by the railing on the fourth floor of Guangjuxuan, looking at her condescendingly.

His eyes were as still as stagnant as water, dark and dark, in stark contrast to the frightened or surprised faces around him lying on the railing. It's as if it wasn't a person who was smashed underneath, but a worthless vase.

He even took a chopstick dish to his mouth when Song Yao looked at him, the dish was a freshly marinated pig's head meat, fat and thin, red and white, and it looked very delicious.

Song Yao was sick again.

In the days that followed, she was so frightened that she never even got out of bed.

"It's weird, she was obviously calmer than me that day, why did she go home and get scared of illness." On this day, Song Yao was lying on the bed, listening to her brother and sister-in-law chatting outside the window.

"I don't know," Song Huan answered absentmindedly, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Guess what, we know the one who Guangjuxuan fell to death." ”

"Huh?" Her sister-in-law raised her voice, "Who?" ”

"It's Xiao Kezi, who sells ghee, by the way, didn't he come to our house a few days ago? Xiao Yao wanted to make cakes with ghee, so she called him to the door. ”

Her sister-in-law was surprised, "It's him?" However, how could he fall from the stairs after such a good young man? ”

"I heard that the oil drum was leaking, his feet slipped, and he didn't stand firmly, so he fell from the fourth floor, pitiful, he just turned fifteen years old, a little younger than Xiao Yao."

"No wonder, the sky and the earth were full of white grease, and I thought what it was, it turned out to be ghee." Her sister-in-law said suddenly.

Song Huan "shhh ”
