Chapter 76: Xiu'er's Soul (7)

The market was very lively, and the swaggering dress attracted the attention of many people, one of whom was Zhu Sheng. He was cutting meat for customers in front of the butcher stall, and when he saw Sanmei, his hand stopped. "Hey, hurry up." The urge to buy meat. "Okay." Zhu Sheng agreed, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at Sanmei. The meat buyer followed his gaze, pursed his lips, and said to Zhu Sheng: "That's a daughter-in-law in our village, I heard that I stole a man, look at that commotion, but it's a pity that he is a man, a good man has no good wife." With that, he took the meat and left. Stealing men? Zhu Sheng thought to himself, isn't that man me? How did others know about it? Who got it out? Hi! Whatever! How is love, people die under flowers, and ghosts are also romantic!

The three charming Tingting walked towards Zhu Sheng, "Business is good, Brother Zhu." I buy two catties of meat. She said.

Zhu Sheng said while cutting meat, why doesn't my sister go to my house? Liu Zhi'er misses you.

"Really? I miss Willow Branch, too, and I'm going to find her tonight. Sanmei said, gently wiping the sweat on her neck with a handkerchief, looking charming.

"That's great! Let the willow branch make you something to eat. Zhu Sheng's heart was overjoyed. He tied the cut meat with a rope and brought it to Sanmei, and the meat was heavy, as much as five catties.

Sanmei took the meat and asked how much it was? Zhu Sheng waved his hand, what money is not money! You and Liu Zhi'er are good friends, how can you ask for your money, take it and eat it. Then thank you, Sanmei took the meat and left. Zhu Sheng looked at her graceful figure and swallowed.

Sanmei finished the set at noon, and when she returned home, the house was quiet, and she didn't see her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law's door was closed, and the outside was not locked, but it seemed to be bolted inside. What's going on? This old woman either goes to the neighbor's house every day or collects the soles of her shoes under the grape trellis, and she doesn't seem to get up today, so she shouldn't die, right? Sanmei thought, hum! Whatever! It's better to die, who let her instigate the second Zhuang to leave me.

Sanmei slept at noon, woke up and washed the peaches bought from the market and ate them, and then sat at the stone table under the jujube tree to embroider flowers, she was in a good mood, and even hummed a little song, the days when her mother-in-law was not at home were great, she could do anything calmly, in the past, her mother-in-law sat under the grape trellis, and that eye followed her from time to time, making her like a thorn in her back. Now she is more dexterous even with her embroidery hands.

In the evening, Sanmei went to Zhu Sheng's house. She knocked softly, the door opened, and Zhu Sheng's bear-like body appeared in the door, "Come in, girl." Zhu Sheng's tone was impatient, "Let's go to the wheat field in the west." Sanmei said. It's okay at my house, Liu Zhi'er was knocked unconscious by me just now. "And what if she wakes up again?" Zhu Sheng thought about it, so the two went to the wheat field in the west of the village. At night, they walked through the woods, on paths, and embraced each other.

They were rolling in the haystacks of the wheat field, and their fiery lust was about to set the stalks on fire.

Afterwards, the two hugged each other and talked, did you hit the willow branch again? Sanmei said. I knew I wouldn't knock her out when I came to the wheat field, Zhu Sheng said. Do you want to marry me? Sanmei asked. Think! It's the days with you that are interesting, Zhu Sheng said. Then you can kill her, Sanmei said. No, there is retribution for killing, I can divorce her, you give me some time.

In order to facilitate her tryst with Zhu Sheng, Sanmei decided to go back to her parents' house, her father and mother were not at home, and the earthen house was just for her to have a tryst with her lover. During the day, she gathered a group of women like her to eat and play cards, and at night she and Zhu Shenghua went under the moon. After seven or eight days like this, Sanmei suddenly thought about Erzhuang a little, she estimated that Erzhuang was coming back soon, and hurried home.

It's been very hot these days, and as soon as Sanmei gets home, she sits on a stone bench in the shade of a tree, her mother-in-law's door is still closed, and the house is quiet. Somehow gathered a group of flies under the tree, they circled around Sanmei, Sanmei rushed impatiently, her right arm resting on the stone table suddenly itched, she looked down to see if there were small insects crawling into the sleeve, this look, her soul was almost scared away, only to see the blue and whitish stone table crawling with maggots, white, large and small maggots twisted their fat bodies to her arms, one of them was far ahead, it was this one that tickled her, Sanmei screamed and threw it down, got up from the stone bench and stepped aside, How can there be maggots on the stone table? She looked for the root, the ground was clean, she looked up at the tree again, between the three tall branches corresponding to the tabletop, a rotten head was stuck in it, and the inside and outside of the head were covered with dense maggots, from the hairstyle of this head, Sanmei recognized that this was her mother-in-law, Mrs. Guo.

Sanmei ran out with a shout、、、、、、

Mrs. Guo died, and died a tragic death, her head on the tree and her body in the house.

A group of people in beige police uniforms came to the house, and they interrogated Sanmei, who said that on that stormy night seven days ago, she heard a scream, and she never saw her mother-in-law again, and her mother-in-law must have seen something terrible, it may be the dead sister-in-law Xiu'er, Xiu'er was forced to death by her mother-in-law, and she must have become a ghost after her death and killed her mother-in-law.

The police investigated the scene and found a strange place, there was no trace of struggle in the house, the head of the deceased was placed on such a high branch, this part of the branch is very slender, it can't bear the weight of a person at all, how did the murderer put it up, and the card is so strong, from the point of view of the means of committing the crime, the murderer is different from ordinary people, because the head was twisted off by force, is it really a ghost crime? The police asked Sanmei how her relationship with her mother-in-law was, and Sanmei replied that it was okay. But after the police visited, they learned from the neighbors that their relationship was very bad, and they also got an important information - Sanmei had a concubine named Zhu Sheng. The police quickly interrogated Zhu Sheng, who had friends to testify, and they had been shaking dice all night.

The case was convicted by the police as a ghost crime.

On the day of Mrs. Guo's burial, Erzhuang cried so darkly that Mr. Guo smoked his cigarette pouch and frowned. Sanmei was distressed when she saw Erzhuang's heartbroken appearance. At night, she hugged him to comfort him, and Er Zhuang grabbed her neck with his backhand and said, "You and my mother don't get along, this matter must have something to do with you." "Don't wronged good people, you have done sins in your own house, but you have come to blame me." Sanmei struggled to get away from him and said angrily. Erzhuang stopped squeaking, and in the darkness, the sound of his sobs echoed through the room. "It's Xiu'er, the police said it was a ghost," Sanmei said, "Let's give her a superordinate, Xu Banxian said that she was fierce, she must have come back to harm us." Er Zhuang was silent, he had acquiesced in his heart, and the third girl fell asleep, and the room was quiet. At this time, hearing a laugh of "hey, hey, hey" outside the window, Sanmei shuddered for a while, and Erzhuang shouted angrily: "Who! The man was still smirking, and only called his mother, it turned out to be a madman Da Zhuang.

The next day, Er Zhuang took a break from Sanmei, and it happened too suddenly, and Sanmei was stunned for a long time and didn't react.

Sanmei went back to her parents' house completely this time, she didn't go out for three days sadly, and when she opened the door on the fourth day, someone came running, "Are you Huang Sanmei?" The man asked. Oh, yes. Sanmei looked at the person in front of him suspiciously. The man said, "I am your father's business partner, we are selling fruit in Shandong, there is a war there, your father and mother were killed by a Japanese shell, they asked me to send you a letter before they died." Okay, I've brought the letter, I'm leaving. Sanmei was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing like crazy、、、、、、

The artillery fire in the north was continuous, the wars between the Japanese and the national army became more and more frequent, the people lost their homes, and migrated to various places, Huang Youcai and Gu Pozi were killed by shells on the way back to their hometowns, and their business partners buried them in a foreign land.
