As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, a gust of wind blew, and Mai Jiu's hair and clothes were fluttering.

Mai Jiu stroked her hair, and she trotted to follow the person in front of her.

Sang Huai'an put his robe on his arm, he glanced at the person next to him, and then shook off the robe and draped it over Mai Jiu.

The sudden movement was accompanied by an emotionless sentence: "It's cold." ”

After putting on the outer robe, Sang Huai'an continued to walk forward, while Mai Jiu stopped, and she quickly grabbed the outer robe.

The wind continued to blow, and Mai Jiu looked at Sang Huai'an, who had put her hands behind her back and looked smug, and she suddenly burst out laughing.

Inside Dali Temple

Sang Huai'an sat on the court, he stared at Hu Gengjian who was kneeling on the ground, his feet were chained, and his hands were tied behind his back.

Hu Gengqing's eyes were closed, and his eyes were covered with black; His mouth was stuffed with a white cloth, and he sat on his knees looking unusually embarrassed, a scene that made it impossible to associate with the kind old man.

Hu Gengzhen opened his eyes slightly, and for some reason his eyes revealed an eerie feeling.

The prison man standing behind Hu Gengjing stepped forward and tore off the white cloth from Hu Gengqing's mouth.

After the white cloth in his mouth was taken away, Hu Gengjiao snorted twice to the side, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, which was a sneer, such a light movement with a cheeky look.

Hu Gengjiao's expression was not so much malicious, but rather a direct description of a hooligan, and those originally clear eyes now became cold and shining, making people shudder.

"The prisoner Hu X was untruthful, concealed the truth, and failed to commit suicide, and is now punished." Liu Shaoqing, who was standing on the side, said loudly and looked at the prince above the court, waiting for instructions.

Before Sang Huai'an could give the order, he listened to Hu Gengjian and said unhurriedly: "If I invite it truthfully, can I not be executed, I, an old man, can't stand it." ”

Hearing this, Sang Huai'an raised his eyebrows, and he said leisurely: "Fifty, big board." ”

When the prisoner behind him heard this, he quickly stepped forward and set up Hu Geng, who was kneeling on the ground.

Hu Gengjiao was pressed onto the stool without even reacting, and only listened to the sound of the stick waving the air in his ears.

Hu Gengjiao propped up his upper body and looked at the prince above the court, he just wanted to say spare his life, but before he could say anything, he was hit on his buttocks.

The blow made him completely unfit on the stool.

Stick after stick, Hu Gengjiao shouted again and again, and the pain made his head sweat.

It wasn't until his clothes were already stained red with blood that Sang Huai'an said coldly: "Prisoner Hu, are you guilty?" ”

Hu Gengqing's lower body was already unconscious, and he endured the pain and replied weakly: "Grass people... Knowing their mistakes, the grass people should not be deceived, and the grass people will explain all of them clearly. ”

Two prison men stepped forward, one left and one right, and one of them picked up Hu Geng with one arm and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind outside, flying sand and rocks, and the trees in the courtyard leaned left and right for a while with the sound of the whirring wind, and the wind swept up all the dead leaves in the courtyard and blew them into the public hall.

This gust of wind disrupted Hu Gengqing's thoughts, and Liu Shaoqing saw that the prisoner was slow to speak, so he warned loudly: "The prisoner Hu is not recruited quickly. ”

Hu Gengjiao propped up half of his body and slowly spoke: "Here's the thing."

Hu Gengjiao lives in a village on the edge of the capital, which is very superstitious, and the villagers support a goddess.

The goddess said that she was a person who had come back from a trip to hell, and she knew her past and present lives, and because she had a second life, she had the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods.

Everyone listened to this rumor, and over time, the goddess was in charge of more and more things, not limited to pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, sweeping away bad luck, and began to treat people's diseases, using a mouth to demagogue.

In the hearts of the villagers, all the illnesses on their bodies are caused by ghosts and gods, as long as they go to the goddess and let the goddess contact the ghosts and gods, the illness will be cured.

The houses in the village are all next to each other, and once Hu Gengji's house wanted to renovate, and after knocking down the bricks, he moved an extra foot towards the neighbor's house when he was building, which instantly caused the neighbors to be dissatisfied.

The bricks that were halfway up were knocked down, and the fat woman next door went to the thatched house to get a bucket of sewage and splashed it on Hu Gengji's father's mother.

A few months later, the house was repaired, and the fat woman's family also liked to mention the second son, Hu Gengqing's mother has been haunted by the last time, and when the neighbor's full moon wine was full, she stepped on the brick wall and threw paper money at the neighbor's house.

The contradictions between the two have been escalating, but...

One morning, a few months later, Hu Gengji's house was surrounded by villagers, and everyone talked about female ghosts.

In the days that followed, Hu Gengqing's mother became a female ghost who snatched people's souls and ate human flesh and bones in the mouths of the villagers, and Hu Gengqing's family also became rats crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat them.

The villagers began to discuss how to dispose of Hu Gengqing's mother, and the news soon spread throughout the village, and Hu Gengqing's family no longer dared to go out, and his mother also became in a trance and did not dare to face people.

One day, when the sun was high, the villagers blocked the door of Hu Gengqing's house with hoes and shovels in their hands, saying that they would eliminate evil for the people and let Hu Gengqing's family hand over the female ghost.

Hu Gengjiao's father was timid and afraid, hiding at home while holding his three children while cursing Hu Gengjiao's mother for being a broom star.

That night, Hu Gengjing witnessed his mother hacking his father to death, and hacked to death Hu Gengji's two brothers and sisters while holding an axe and saying that you can't leave you to suffer in the world.

As soon as this incident happened, the villagers had more reason to deal with Hu Gengqing's mother.

When Hu Gengjiao's mother was tied up and thrown into the fire, Hu Gengzhen turned around and saw the fat woman next door with a nervous expression.

He vaguely heard: "It's not me, it's not me, I didn't expect it to be like this, don't come to me." With that, the fat woman ran back to her house.

Only then did Hu Gengzhen understand that all of this was caused by the fat woman, and it was the fat woman who was angry and said that there were evil ghosts in Hu Gengqing's mother's house, and the news spread ten, and ten spread hundreds, from the beginning, there were evil ghosts in the family, and Hu Gengqing's mother was a demon.

After that, Hu Gengzhen was driven out of the village, and he went to a neighboring village to learn carpentering.

It wasn't until he met a wandering woman that his life changed.

The woman was a servant of a large family, and because the old man was drunk and was put to bed, the lady knew about it and kicked her out.

A few months later, the woman found out that she was pregnant, and she was afraid that her pregnancy would be known by the lady in the house and would directly kill her, so she begged Hu Gengqing to save her.

Hu Gengzhen took the woman to hide until the woman gave birth to a child and died in childbirth.

A crying baby appeared in Hu Gengqing's life, and he moved with the child into the rocky road in the capital.

He took special care of the child, and he inflicted all his lack of maternal love and his love for women on the child.

Because the woman's name is Yan'er, he also named the child Hu Muyan and affectionately called him Yan'er.

Yan'er's health has always been very poor because of premature birth and lack of breast feeding, but with Hu Gengji's careful care, her body gradually recovers and can thrive.

But slowly and simply taking care of him can no longer satisfy Hu Gengqing's psychology, he hopes that Yan'er can always be sick and he can always take care of him, such an idea makes him almost close to madness.

He deliberately let the mouse bite Yan'er, deliberately pushed Yan'er off the bed, and deliberately had a fever until he burned out his brain.

Hu Gengjiao's careful care of Yan'er made him worry about food and clothing, and he thought that this was his father's love for him.

Hu Geng'er never let Yan'er go out, Yan'er would sit in the courtyard to look at the birds on the eaves, Hu Geng'er saw that Yan'er liked the birds so much and went to the forest to catch a few, after the birds arrived, it was obvious that Yan'er's love for the birds was greater than his love for Hu Geng's.

Once Yan'er was playing with birds in the yard and ignored what Hu Gengjiao said, Hu Gengjiao held the bird in his hand in front of Yan'er and pinched it to death.

After the little bird was pinched to death, Yan'er was sad and sad for several days, and Hu Gengqing saw that Yan'er was so sad, so he went to the forest to hunt birds.

But as long as he saw Yan'er's smile after seeing the bird, he couldn't help but burn anger in his heart.

So turning over and over, there are more and more carcasses of birds outside the yard.

As Yan'er grew up, he began to yearn for the neighborhood children to run on the streets, and he found a way, every time Hu Gengjiao went out, he would climb the grapevines in the courtyard to go outside, and wait for it to get dark before crawling back

Yan'er's sneaking out was revealed when Hu Gengjiao returned from a trip.

He followed Yan'er and Xi'er, two ten-year-old children, into the forest, he watched Yan'er follow Xi'er's happy appearance, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and followed the two children into the depths of the forest.

As the sun began to set in the west, the two children got lost in the woods, and Yan'er began to cry anxiously, and if he did not return, his father would know about the escape.

Xi'er on the side thought that Yan'er was scared, so she pushed Yan'er's shoulder and said, "Coward." ”

This action angered Hu Gengji, who was hiding behind, and he quickly stepped forward and picked up Xi'er and pressed it against the tree.

Yan'er was startled by Hu Geng'er's arrival and stepped back, Hu Geng'er didn't know how to say anything, he grabbed Xi'er's neck.

It wasn't until Xi'er's face began to turn red and there was a cry in his ears that Hu Gengjiao let go of his hand and let Xi'er slowly slide to the ground, sinking headfirst into the dirt.

Hu Gengjiao felt that something was wrong, and he quickly hid.

A small insect appeared in Yan'er's sight, and he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and squatted on the ground to pick up the worm.

After this incident, Hu Gengjiao angrily locked Yan'er directly in the house, and he also made a self-made whip, as long as Yan'er was disobedient or disobeyed him, he would whip and whip Yan'er hard, until Yan'er couldn't move, and after saying that he no longer dared, Hu Geng'er would take Yan'er to the bed and carefully medicate him.

Yan'er was obedient, he didn't resist anymore, he was in pain, he was afraid.

Hu Gengjiao knew that Yan'er's heart wanted to leave him, so he asked someone to find cartilage and scatter it into Yan'er's porridge.

Until Yan'er lost her mind and imagined the person she saw in front of her as a pig, and after the outburst, she hacked a smiling little girl to death with a knife, and then everything went in an uncontrollable direction.

Listening to the whole story, Mai Jiu felt creepy.

The wind continued to blow in the sky and began to rain, and the wind blew the raindrops into the courtroom.
