"Evil?"

"It's evil." Shopkeeper Liu nodded helplessly: "Qingwei, this child has been raised by me alone since she was a child, and I know her temperament best, it is not a child who is chattering." Even if her face became like that, she just locked herself up, occasionally lost her temper, and after the temper, she always apologized to me, a father, saying that she shouldn't be willful.

But since using the beauty like jade ointment, her face is better, but her temperament is getting more and more eccentric, and she often talks alone in the room in the middle of the night. At first, I thought it was her...... After all, Qing Wei is a child of Xu Guo's family, if he really does something out of the ordinary, how can our Liu family gain a foothold in this walnut village.

I'll admit that what I did at that time was really that, often sneaking peeks out of Qingwei's window. But the more I looked at it, the more strange it became, as if she was talking to someone in the air. For this reason, I also specially invited a doctor to come over, wanting to take the opportunity of Qing Wei's follow-up to let the doctor see if the child was stimulated by anything, and why he kept talking nonsense in the middle of the night.

The doctor looked at it for a while, but he couldn't figure out why. Later, this Qingwei didn't know what evil had fallen into, so he actually asked me to withdraw from the marriage, and privately took the silver to buy that beauty like jade paste, saying that only by becoming more beautiful can I be worthy of my crush.

Because of this, I hit her. That's my biological daughter, it's my biological daughter who grew up with a little pull, in the past days, don't say it's beating, just scolding a few words, I feel sorry for myself. But I can't just watch her come nonsense.

originally thought that after beating her, she would restrain herself, but it turned out to be good, she actually twisted her temperament to come with me for the first time. ”

"Qing Wei, she went to buy that beauty like jade paste again?"

"Well, I bought it, and I went there secretly while I wasn't paying attention." Shopkeeper Liu sighed: "She took all the valuable things in the house, including cash and silver tickets, and finally exchanged it for such a small bottle." I was so angry that I fell seriously ill and refused to talk to her for many days. Unexpectedly, Qing Wei actually ......"

"What is it?"

Shopkeeper Liu pointed to the coffin: "It actually became like that." Her face became more and more strange, and in the end, it became like a monster. She no longer spoke, but she no longer talked about getting out of the marriage, let alone saying anything to her sweetheart. I thought it would be over. No matter how strange my daughter's face becomes, it's still my daughter after all. Since the pimple on the face can be cured, then this disease can also be cured. I've even made plans to sell this house for Qing Wei's treatment. ”

"Does Qing Wei know about this? I mean, you're going to sell her home to heal her. ”

"I did mention it, but I don't know if Qing Wei has taken it to heart. At that time, she rarely spoke, but she was in the business of the tofu factory, and she often helped me take care of it. ”

"What about talking to yourself in the middle of the night and talking to the air?"

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head: "Since I was angry with Qing Wei for the first time, my body has also been sick. I didn't want her to worry about it anymore, so I hid it. Because she was uncomfortable, she coughed a few times from time to time, and she didn't sneak in her anymore. ”

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. The situation on the night that Qing Wei fell downstairs, does Shopkeeper Liu know? ”

"Qing Wei she...... She didn't fall from the building, she was ......" Shopkeeper Liu seemed to have something unspeakable, and struggled for a long time before saying: "She was killed." ”

"Killed! Can you see the appearance of the murderer, Shopkeeper Liu? ”

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at Xing Ruyi and nodded very heavily.

At this moment, even Yanagi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help it. He frowned and asked Shopkeeper Liu: "Since you saw the murderer, why didn't you report it to the government?" Could it be that you are worried that your daughter's ugly face will be known? ”

"This ......" Shopkeeper Liu opened his mouth and swallowed the rest of the words: "It's not that I don't want to go to the government to report the case, it's not that I don't want to avenge my daughter, but even if I go to the government, the people in the government won't believe what I say." ”

"You haven't even gone to the government yet, why do people who are so sure of the government not believe what you say. Could it be that in your eyes, we are all rice buckets? ”

"The virtuous nephew misunderstood, the old decay didn't mean that. My Huzi is also on an errand in the yamen, and I naturally know that although there are rights and wrongs in this yamen, there are many people who can do things for our people. Shopkeeper Liu explained anxiously: "The reason why Lao Yu said that he would not go to the Yamen to report the case was because the case could not be reported. Because the one who killed Qing Wei was not a human, but a demon. ”

"Demon?"

Liu Sheng's brows furrowed even deeper, but his gaze moved to Xing Ruyi and her husband who was standing beside Xing Ruyi. Originally, he thought that he would see the same surprised look on their faces, but he didn't want to, these two people were so calm, and they didn't react to Shopkeeper Liu's words in the slightest.

"That night, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because of the sickness. In a trance, I heard the sound of the door opening, so I got up and went to the door to check. It turned out that it was Qing Wei who walked out of her room. Ever since she put on that black veil, her temperament has become more and more dull, and I thought she just couldn't sleep late at night and wanted to go out into the yard to breathe, so she didn't squeak.

Just as I was about to lie back on the bed, I suddenly heard Qing Wei in the courtyard ask: Are you here?

There you are? It's clearly waiting for someone. I immediately clasped the door panel with my hand, but after thinking about it carefully, Qing Wei had also been sick before, and talked to the air in the middle of the night. He waited patiently at the door.

At first, the yard was exceptionally quiet. But not long after Qing Wei said that, there was a gust of wind on the bottom, and there was a smell in the wind that I couldn't tell. I had doubts in my heart, so I secretly opened the crack in the door a little wider. But after looking at it for a long time, I still only saw Qing alone.

At this time, Qing Wei spoke again, and she said: Okay, I'll go up with you. ”

"Okay, I'll go up with you?" Xing Ruyi repeated.

Shopkeeper Liu nodded: "It's indeed this sentence, I really heard it." I thought at the time, where is Qing Wei going to go. Later, I looked and found that she did not go in the direction of the gate, but went to the small second floor. Her own yard, her own things, and the small second floor have also been there since she was sensible.

Qing Wei is not easy for this child, since he remembers things, he has started to help me grind tofu. On the small second floor, she often goes up and down. Seeing that she was heading for the small second floor, I didn't worry too much. In addition, after looking at it for a while, and not seeing the person she was talking to, I thought that she was sick again, but this condition was more serious than before.

My yard is not big, and it is the middle of the night, and I can really hear any sound. I heard Qing Wei going upstairs, and I heard her talking to someone. I don't know what the monster said, but I heard Qing Wei say: Really? If what you're saying is true, then I'm coming!

Immediately after, before I could react, Qing Wei fell from the second floor of the small one. ”

"So I'm here?" Xing Ruyi repeatedly pondered these words: "Is it difficult, Qing Wei was originally going to that place?" ”

"Yellow Springs." Shopkeeper Liu gently spit out two words: "I also figured it out later." ”

"But what Shopkeeper Liu said just now, you saw the murderer."

"Yes, I saw it." Shopkeeper Liu nodded: "Just when Qing Wei fell, I saw a person. A man dressed in green with an unrecognizable face. I don't know how he got to my house, or why he didn't say anything when he came, I just know that my daughter was killed by him. So, I grabbed something and rushed out of the room. As a result, I saw his eyes, those viper-like eyes. When he left, I realized that this thing was not a person at all, but a monster with a human head and a snake's tail.

I was stunned, my legs seemed to freeze, and I could only watch him leave. It's that I'm useless, it's that I can't do anything while I watch my daughter get killed by a monster.

I sat all night and had no idea what was going on in my head, until the next day the boy came to call me, and I came to my senses. At that time, I also wanted to go to the government to report to the government, but after thinking about it, I felt that the government would definitely not be able to control this kind of thing. So, I thought about finding a Taoist priest. But before I could go to the Taoist priest, I fell ill.

Qing Wei was killed by a monster, so I naturally don't dare to talk nonsense about such a thing. Not to mention whether others believe it or not, even if Qing Wei is entangled with monsters, it will also make people speculate. I had no choice but to declare to the outside world that my daughter had fallen to her death by falling from a building. ”

"What about the corpse? What's the deal with corpse fraud? ”

"Corpse?" Shopkeeper Liu didn't seem to understand where Xing Ruyi's words came from. He looked at Xing Ruyi in a daze, and then slowly moved his gaze to Qing Wei's coffin: "Madame, don't you mean to say that my daughter cheated the corpse?" ”

"Isn't it? Since there is none, why did Shopkeeper Liu put Qing Wei's coffin in his room. Also, what is the purpose of this stick that you have placed next to your bed? ”

"Sticks?" Shopkeeper Liu followed Xing Ruyi's reminder and moved his eyes over: "Did I put this wooden stick next to the bed?" ”

"Didn't you put it there?"

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head in a trance: "I can't remember clearly, I've been in a trance for a while, and I can't tell when I'm awake and when I'm confused." Perhaps, I put this thing, but I can't remember. ”

As soon as Shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, the wooden stick that was originally leaning against the head of the bed fell down. Some powder, which comes off the stick.

Xing Ruyi dipped some with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and said, "It seems to be realgar used to repel snakes." ”
