Chapter 40: The coffin enters the cabin
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, the shrew raised her hand and slapped Zhao Youfu again, and scolded angrily: "Zhao Youfu, did you have crooked thoughts?" Didn't you say that it was the little slut who hooked up with you? ”
Zhao Youfu covered his cheeks, but he didn't have the slightest remorse, and said back: "Xiuhong is interested in me, and you have my flesh and blood, you are jealous, so you made this matter to the ancestral hall, but the third master said that he wanted to kill her." ”
"That woman is your sister-in-law, Zhao Youfu, you are too shameless." The woman cursed and spat out.
"Not necessarily! If it really is, why didn't the old man pick her up for a long time? Also, Xiuhong has remarried in the countryside, and Xiuhong and I may not be brother and sister at all. "What Zhao Youfu said is conclusive and reasonable.
"Not? Why didn't your father give them money to their mother and daughter? If I kill her, I will also save face for your Zhao family. The woman suppressed her anger and glared at Zhao Youfu.
Zhao Youfu snorted coldly and said, "You killed Xiuhong because she was pregnant, you yourself are a person who can't give birth, and you don't allow others to give birth." ”
"Don't allow others to live? Aren't you afraid that she will give birth to a deformed child? The woman sneered: "Do you dare to give birth to her?" ”
Zhao Youfu's lips trembled, but he didn't respond.
Aunt Sun looked at the husband and wife, couldn't help sighing, and then continued.
She said that after Xiuhong was ruined by this Zhao Youfu, she was locked up in the backyard by Zhao Youfu, and soon Xiuhong was found to be pregnant.
After Zhao Youfu's wife found out, she went to the Zhao family ancestral hall to denounce it, saying that Xiuhong hooked up with her eldest brother, which was contrary to human ethics, and was originally immersed in the pig cage, but Mrs. Zhao said that she would dispose of it by herself.
At that time, he poured a bowl of safflower, and hit Xiuhong's abdomen with a wooden stick, and watched his fetus slide off and bleed endlessly, so he ordered someone to carry the thin-skinned coffin.
"When Xiuhong was sealed in the coffin, she was still alive." Aunt Sun frowned.
"Sealed coffins for the living? Extremely vicious. The senior sister looked at the woman with a solemn face, this Mrs. Zhao was indeed ruthless.
This matter, from beginning to end, is not Xiuhong's fault.
Aunt Sun said that the thin-skinned coffin was carried to the dock, tied to an iron chain, and let the servants quietly drag it to the Luoshui River, but because a few scholars were cruising on the Luoshui River, it was delayed, and after the tide rose the next day and the group of scholars left, the servants lost their coffins and entered the river.
"Scholar?" I listened, and looked at the white-faced scholar curled up in the corner of the cabin.
His face had turned blue-gray, and his body was trembling.
Hearing Aunt Sun talk about the scholar cruise, he suddenly raised his head and said tremblingly: "At that time, at that time, I, I, I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything. ”
"You're lying!" Beilin didn't even look at the scholar, and said in a deep voice.
Immediately afterwards, with a wave of the red fan in Beilin's hand, the originally turbulent wooden boat finally stopped shaking.
"Poof!"
There was a strange sound outside the cabin, as if something was "jumping" out of the river.
Before everyone could react, there was a sound of "bang, bang, bang" like a chain mopping the ground from the hatch of the ship, and then, a thin-skinned coffin slammed open the hatch and rushed in directly, and after a loud "bang", the coffin fell into the cabin.
"Ahhh
Mrs. Zhao was finally scared and screamed in horror.
The scholar also knelt down with a pout, bowed desperately to the thin-skinned coffin and said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I heard a woman's voice shouting for help, but, but, I don't dare to care, who doesn't know, the Zhao family is powerful in this Yancheng, I, I, I'm wrong, don't kill me." ”
