Chapter 041: Returning a Plain Girl (13)

Burying the corpse on a moonlit night, this is not the first time Xu Kui has done such a thing. He did it more than a decade ago. It's just that the state of mind at that time was completely different from now.

Lin Blind is his master, although the two of them have already been relieved of their master-apprentice status, but the past contact is still too close. If the people in the village found out that Lin Blind was missing, as his former apprentice and a close acquaintance in the past, he would inevitably become the first object of suspicion in the government.

Of course, that person also said that even if the government found the bones of the blind man, they would not be able to find anything good, at most they thought that this person was committing suicide, but as an apprentice, for the sake of the poor man of the blind man, he would help bury the corpse.

Having said that, he was still worried for a while, until he found that no one in the village cared where Lin Blind had gone, whether he was alive or dead, and no one meddled in his affairs to report the case, and the heart that had been hanging for months gradually relaxed.

But now, the matter of Lin Blind has been mentioned again. Thinking of the people he saw during the day, Xu Kui always felt a little unsteady in his heart. So, he took advantage of the night to dig up the bones of the blind man who was originally buried in his yard, put them into a broken sack, and prepared to change places.

The moonlight was soft, and a cool breeze passed by, which calmed Xu Kui's heart. He found a place that he thought was good, and opened the sack he was dragging. The bones that were originally white in it had already been a mess because of the bumps along the way. He looked at the pile of bones and thought it was funny. This man, who has lived all his life, is no different from a dog when he dies, except for a pile of bones, he can't tell whether he was good or bad, mean or tricky, rich or poor.

He took a shovel and dug a deep pit in the wasteland. As he dug the pit, he saw the black figure standing behind him move to the opposite side of the pit.

"You think this place is good, don't you? Man, there is the pain of being alive, and the benefit of being dead. I know you resent me and think that I will take revenge for killing you. But if you think about it, you're not a good person. Just because you quarreled with the shopkeeper Liu for a few words, you came up with such a ruthless trick to take revenge on others, and as a result, the family that killed was almost ruined.

In the words of Buddhism, if I kill you, it is also your retribution, and I will help you free yourself from atonement. Besides, I haven't treated you badly all these years, have I? During the New Year's holidays, I will also give you good wine and good food to eat, and I will sit in front of you to talk and chat with you when the night shift is boring. You say, is it more nourishing than when you were alive? ”

The shadow didn't speak, just stood there, staring at him stunned.

Xu Kui also seemed to be tired of it, he lowered his head and began to concentrate on digging the pit. In the night, he could only hear the sound of shovels on the earth, and it was not until the sound of thunder sounded in his ears that he looked into the night in a panic.

"What are you doing?"

In the darkness, a tall figure slowly walked towards him. That figure made him feel a little familiar, but more of a sense of crisis, full of crisis. So, he tightened his grip on the shovel in his hand, and watched the man who was approaching him vigilantly.

Finally, he saw the other party's face clearly, it was the fast Lin Hu.

Xu Kui didn't know why Lin Hu appeared in the wasteland, he was very cautious when he came, and repeatedly confirmed that he was not followed. Of course, he also knew that these fast catchers were not vegetarians, and perhaps he had already suspected himself when Lin Hu came to the village to investigate Lin Blind.

Lin Hu, Lin Blind, speaking of which, they are all members of the Lin family.

"In the middle of the night, why did Lord Catcher come here?"

Lin Hu glanced behind Xu Kui, where the pile of Bai Sensen's bones was still piled up.

"You're digging a hole to bury bones, aren't you? Whose bones are they? It can't be the blind man who does carpenter's work. ”

"Catch fast adults are really joking." Xu Kuipi looked at Lin Hu with a smile.

"It's not Lin Blind, who is that?"

"It's my dad." Xu Kui popped out these words from between his teeth: "During the day, didn't the lady who came with Lord Catcher say it?" said that I had some bad luck on my forehead, but I was afraid that I was entangled in something. I thought about it and thought that this person might be my father. My father was angry with my unassailable son, and even when he was buried, I hastily found a place to bury him. I felt sorry for it, so I wanted to move a comfortable place for his old man.

Hurry up, sir, you see, how spacious this place is. My dad didn't live in a big house when he was alive, so I'm going to dig a bigger hole for him here so that he can be more comfortable when he sleeps and rolls over. ”

"Is this your father?"

"What's the matter, can't I even recognize my own father?"

Xu Kui looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, so that Lin Hu didn't know what to do next. He looked behind him pleadingly. At this time, Liu Sheng, Xing Ruyi and the fox were standing there. It's just that the night is too thick, and I can't see it clearly when I stand here.

"It's a cold night, if it's okay, please go back as soon as possible, so as not to mess with my family's bad luck."

Xu Kui said, throwing the shovel in his hand aside, and turned back to gather the bones. That's when something strange happened. The bones scattered in the book actually danced one by one, and then quickly pieced together a human form. Immediately after, the humanoid skeleton spoke.

"Others say that my blind man Lin is the fate of the Tiansha Lone Star, destined to be lonely and helpless all his life, and he has no children and no daughters, and he will end up with a death. After listening to your Xu Kui's words today, I also feel that God is not thin on me, but I still have a son. It's just Xu Kui, are you willing to follow my surname Lin? ”

Xu Kui's face changed suddenly. At this moment, don't say it's him, even Lin Hu, who has always been bold, has a little trembling legs.

"Don't pretend to be a ghost, the blind man Lin would have died a long time ago, and he would have turned into a pile of dead bones."

"You're right, I've been reduced to a pile of dead human bones, and I'm buried in your yard." The humanoid skeleton approached Xu Kui.

Lin Blind was a little taller than Xu Kui when he was alive, and he was standing face to face with him at this time, and the closed mouth was on top of his head. Lin Blind's legs were weak, but he still stood straight, and even in the moonlight, he could clearly see the little insects wriggling in the cracks of Lin Blind's skull.

"You, it's you Xu Kui who hurt me, and now, you still want to cover it up."

"I hurt you, where did I hurt you. Besides, it's all your own fault. ”

Although Xu Kui was afraid, he still gritted his teeth and tried to get himself out of the murder of the blind man.

"Kill people to pay for your life, pay off debts, and tonight, it's time for you Xu Kui to pay me back."

The humanoid skeleton suddenly grabbed Xu Kui's neck. Because there was no meat on his hands, it was all bones, so those bones almost pinched into Xu Kui's flesh, and it hurt so much that he grinned and shouted to his mother.

Blood flowed down the hole pinched out by his fingers. Xu Kui was both frightened and frightened, so he had no choice but to ask Lin Hu on the side for help: "Catch your lord, please, arrest me back to the yamen." I confess, I admit that I killed Lin Blind, I killed him, and then buried him in the yard of my house. I am a murderer, I am willing to confess my guilt, I just beg you not to let me die at the hands of a ghost. ”

"That'...... That ......"

Lin Hu looked at the skeleton in front of him who wanted to kill someone, and thought about how to negotiate with him, or persuade it to let Xu Kui go for the time being. Just as he was racking his brains to speak, the skeletons suddenly shattered to the ground again.

In the shadows not far away, Liu Sheng frowned and stared at the fox's withdrawn hand, and asked sullenly, "Is this a spell?" ”

"Puppetry, puppetry." Xing Ruyi explained with a grin, and asked in a low voice while hugging the fox's arm: "What about the ghost of the blind man?" ”

"Accepted." The fox replied in the same whisper.

"Then I'm relieved, this blind man Lin is narrow-minded, I'm really worried that after this Xu Kui is arrested, he will vent his anger on those innocent villagers. Turn around, wait for me to find an opportunity, and summon the ghost to come and bring him back. ”

"Okay." The fox didn't have any extra words, just gently stroked Xing Ruyi's hair that was blown by the night wind.

Lin Blind Man's death, Xu Kui originally explained everything.

On that day, Lin Blind received a job to build a cabinet for a girl who was about to leave the cabinet. The cabinet is not big and the requirements are not high, so the salary is relatively cheap. If it was left in the past, this kind of work, Lin Blind would not accept it. But since his leg was lame, fewer and fewer people came to him, and seeing that there was no work to do, he had no confidence to pick and choose, but this heart was always a little uncomfortable.

It just so happened that at this time, Xu Kui came to the door and was going to ask Lin Blind to borrow money to do some small business. Although Lin Blind has a bad temper, he is still quite generous to this former apprentice, and occasionally Xu Kui asks him to borrow a little money, for the sake of his filial piety in the past, he has never asked for it. It's just that this time, the amount of money he asked for was larger, and he was in a bad mood, so he didn't agree.

Xu Kui is also a cautious eye, seeing that Lin Blind refused to lend him money, and scolded him for scolding, he held a grudge in his heart. The blind man on the front foot had just gone out, and Xu Kui met a person on the back foot. This man, somewhat strangely, was dressed in a dark green robe, but with a wide black cloak over his head.

This person asked Xu Kui if he wanted Lin to die. Xu Kui didn't think about it at the time, so he said yes. He calculated that if Blind Lin died, then all the money that Blind Lin hid at home would be his.

When the man heard this, he handed him a wine gourd and asked him to give it to the blind man, and his wish would be fulfilled.

A wine gourd can kill the blind man? Xu Kui naturally didn't believe it. When he saw the man gone, he snuck into a house in the village, took out the dog, and poured some of the wine for the dog to drink. As a result, the puppy was killed on the spot. Xu Kui was frightened, he thought about the wine gourd for a long time, and then decided to give the wine gourd to Lin Blind, worried that the dosage was too high, and Lin Blind would be killed on the spot like the puppy, and he also mixed a lot of water into it.

But what Xu Kui didn't expect was that Lin Blind not only drank the wine in the wine gourd by himself, but also gave the rest to others. The other person is the one who lives in the first place with his whole tongue rotten.
