Heart Fire Chapter 27: The Strange Smell of Well Water

When we received a letter from Chief Amao, we hurriedly ended our trip to meet Teng Zhi.

Ah Mao Chang wrote in the letter: The Seven Monarchs died and were found in the well.

The letter was neatly written, but I didn't know most of the words.

When Su Wei read this letter, she was slurking, I always thought it was the family matter that she couldn't let go, until I heard the name of Qijun, she paused and looked at my face.

At that time, I was eating rock sugar gourd, it was the first time I ate it so much, and it was also the last time I ate rock sugar gourd, the red syrup clumped and wrapped around the gourd, reminiscent of the corpse of Qijun soaked in a well.

I pretended to be careless and swallowed the nucleus as well.

"The last thing you want to see happens in the end." Su Wei clutched the letter in her palm and looked at me with a frown.

I swallowed, and it seemed like I was using all my strength.

"Actually, I guessed it a long time ago, but it's good, at least I know that she didn't leave because she betrayed me, and it's really good." I nibbled the sugar gourd, squeezing out a smile and echoing.

"Actually, she's just a waiter." Su Wei stroked my back.

When Su Wei said this, it made me feel terrible, she had been trying her best to do anything for me, but she had not thought about what the meaning behind this matter was.

What you care about has become an accompaniment in the eyes of adults, and unequal class contradictions have always cultivated people's true temperament.

A person who seems to understand you very well, but is the person who doesn't understand you the most.

I shrugged my shoulders and shook Su Wei's hand off.

She looked at me in amazement: "Why do you want to serve someone?" ”

"You often say I don't understand, but in fact, you are the one who doesn't understand me the most." Tears of impulsiveness flowed out of my eyes, and I turned and burrowed into the quilt.

Am I just impulsive like this? I didn't even have the courage to lift the quilt and tell Su Wei all the significance of the Seven Monarchs in my life.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Madame, ma'am." Mao Chang anxiously banged on the door.

"Ah Mao, help pack things." After Su Wei opened the door, I heard Ah Mao's rapid steps.

"Where's Miss Xining?" Ah Mao gasped.

Su Wei pointed to the quilt and glanced at Ah Mao.

Su Wei whispered: "This kid can't accept it. ”

Ah Mao said, "Leave it to me." ”

So, Ah Mao walked cautiously to the side of the bed and gently patted me on the back.

"Miss, we're going home."

This familiar call instantly filled my heart with memories.

I lifted the quilt, the previous sobs flowed, so that the whole hair was tightly attached to the face, the red eyes were swollen, and the dizziness of the head made the whole person not energetic at all, tears like salt crystals took root in my eyes, a claw grasped my eyeballs, a sharp pain, so that I couldn't open my eyes.

"Miss, why did you cry like this when you were wronged?" Ah Mao flicked up his sleeves and wiped my nose.

"Do you have clean sleeves?" Su Wei hurriedly grabbed Ah Mao's hand and stopped him from approaching me.

Her tone was always gentle and prickly.

"Madam, don't worry, Ah Mao's long clothes are only for Miss to wipe her nose, and will not be used to wipe something as precious as tears." Ah Mao asked for instructions.

Su Wei let down her guard and turned to pack her things.

"Ah Maochang, carry the things to the car, and we will go down after washing." Su Wei pointed to the luggage in front of her.

After saying that, Ah Mao got up and prepared to leave, I pulled Ah Mao's sleeve and looked at him with blurred eyes.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Ah Mao asked with his head down, his gentle tone had the power to heal.

"Wait a minute, I'll go down with you." With that, I got up and walked to the bathroom.

"I'll help you." Su Wei picked up the pabhu and walked towards me.

I was silent, burying my head in the pool and purring out of my mouth.

"Your girl's house, pay attention to your image." Su Wei grabbed my hair and pulled it up.

With a strong shake, I threw my hair up in the water, scattering a layer of water droplets from everything in front of me, and Su Wei closed her eyes tightly.

"You're still like that, aren't you?" It looks like Su Wei is angry.

"You're going to fight against me, aren't you?"

"Just for the sake of the Seven Monarchs."

"Can she compare to her mother?"

"She's dead now, dead without a body, soaked in well water and rotting, and we've drunk her flesh." She kept talking.

I stood still, stunned, and squatted on the ground.

"Madam, don't say it." Ah Mao fled in a frustrated manner.

"I'm just going to say, or she'll never come to her senses, and every one of us drank that water." Su Wei continued.

She slammed every word on my heart, and the contents of her letter were read so eloquently that they were all bluffing me, and it should feel like a crit on my chest.

Su Wei used her "nirvana" again, she wore a pitiful makeup and a crying tone, which made it impossible to fight back.

In the end, it was me who threw in the towel.

We got into the car, I sat in the back row, this distance is very long, Ah Mao Chang has been driving, around many small roads, over a few slopes to Ziyang, along the way, I was bumped by the car vomited many times, even I can't count, the power of the stomach is really not to be underestimated, compared to taking the train, this is not a comfortable thing.

Finally returning to Banjinghuayuan, this familiar gate, looking forward in the looming, I dragged my tired body and tried to probe forward.

At this time, many people were watching from the courtyard.

"What's going on?" Su Wei asked.

"It is estimated that it is a matter of Qijun, many reporters have been invited to come to this well to collect materials, and in the past few days, Ziyang people have been panicking, and even the police have shrunk their heads." Ah Mao looked ahead.

"Invited?" I looked at Ah Mao in amazement.

"The reporter invited by Miss Xinwen."

"What? Isn't she taking advantage of the chaos to mess around? Su Wei rolled up her sleeves.

"We can't help it, the yard has been in a mess recently, even the Shen family and the Wang family have moved out of the hotel to live, leaving people to take care of them here, and the servant said, this night, there will be singing, like the soul of the Seven Monarchs, scared everyone to sleep in the living room." Ah Mao frowned.

"What the hell? Even if it was, it would come back to me. I chimed in.

"What nonsense are you talking about." Su Wei glanced at me.

"Madame is back, and Miss Xining is back." Everyone said in unison.

"It's the well." Ah Mao pointed to the well.

This well, which is only a few years old and the height of a baby, how could Qijun fall from here? Why was she so careless, did someone push her down? Logically speaking, she couldn't kill herself.

"Recently, everyone said that this water has a fishy smell, thinking that it was a rat or an insect such as a stink bug fell into it, and after cleaning it up, it became even more fishy. Mao looked at me with wide eyes and gestured with his fingers to the size of the maggot.

"In the seemingly clean well water, maggots appeared, and almost all of us drank it for a month, and after draining the well water, we found that the body of Qijun sank to the bottom, and was pressed by a big stone, the body was swollen, and the flesh had rotted a large part, I recognized it from the clothes, the clothes made by the Shen family are of good quality, and now they are taken out, and the color is as good as new." Ah Mao Chang continued.

"I don't care about the dress, I want to see her body." I looked down at the well at the end, and the fishy smell was still strong, and I couldn't help but vomit again after just jolting all the way.

"Miss, don't go near there." Ah Mao Chang pulled me away.

"I'm fine, I just haven't recovered yet." I held on to Mao's long arm.

"The body has been sent away."

"Where?"

"Mass graves." Ah Mao Chang whispered.

"What? How can you do this to her? "I grabbed Ah Mao's long arm so hard that I pressed a red handprint in the afternoon.

"Red? My hands were stained with blood, and I drank the corpse water of the Seven Monarchs. "I froze and looked at my hands, like a pair of bloody hands in a psychedelic hallucination, into the role of the murderer.

"Ruosheng, send the young lady back to the room, she can't be here." Su Wei commanded.

Ruosheng hesitated for a moment, and carefully helped me upstairs.

"Ruosheng, call Ah Mao Chang in for me." I looked at Ruosheng with both eyes.

"Miss, you? Isn't it delirious? Ruosheng's dumbfounded expression is really worrying.

"When the crowd gradually disperses, ask Ah Mao to come in and look for me, I'll just wash myself, go quickly."

I tried to remember everyone's expressions when I was pretending to go crazy just now.

Qiu Feng and Xinwen stood in front of the gate, the two of them clenched their hands, looking scared, the two of them didn't know what they were muttering, Zhi Lu stood in front of Jinyu, her face was pale and weak, and she was also overly frightened, Jin'er looked very safe, as if she could see that I was pretending something, and the most unresponsive was Su Wei, who kept standing still, but asked Ah Mao Chang to pull me away.

Who's hiding it? But the Seven Monarchs treat people without grudges or hatred, how can anyone want to kill her? Did the Seven Monarchs know something? If she knew, she would have told me, but she disappeared so suddenly, and drowned in the well, it must be someone's secret, and I must find out who.

At this time, Ah Mao Chang knocked on the door and came in.

"Miss, Ruosheng said you were looking for me?"

"You don't need to call me Miss here."

"What else hasn't been told to me about the Seven Monarchs, tell me at 1510, word for word." I sat at the table.

"Do you want to talk about it? I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the blow, you see your expression just now is too terrible. Ah Mao covered his mouth.

"Can't you see I'm pretending? But a lot of it is a show of truth. I grinned.

Ah Mao Chang stroked his chest and secretly rejoiced: "You pretend to be too similar, you should have told me in advance, I will cooperate with you in acting." ”

He gave me a sachet and said it was found in Qijun's clothes, and it didn't contain anything special, just some dried flowers and a rag.

Qijun's room is neatly tied, and the table is full of things she will use every day, in addition to serving me, she will also quietly practice calligraphy here at night, and the writing is also neat penmanship, but the piece of paper on the table, a few drops of ink, affect the elegance of the whole work.

Aside from these things, there is nothing worth leaving me to remember.

She's so clean.

"Who do you think is most likely to kill the Seven Monarchs in this courtyard?"

"I also think that the Seven Monarchs are not as simple as stumbling, there must be something else wrong."

"She disappeared on the day Lan Xin left, before this incident, the sleeplobbying and arson incidents were particularly suspicious, until the incident of Qijun stumbling and falling into the well appeared, covering all the previous doubts, he can perfectly explain that the previous two things were related to Qijun, and finally he couldn't bear the pressure to kill himself, this person is very smart."

"Xining, who do you think it is?"

"Whoever is against us is whoever is whoever."

"Are you talking about that?"

I nodded in acquiescence.
