Chapter 25: The Bronze Coffin
Liu Dehai said coldly, "I also suspect that it has something to do with that incident, but our Liu family will not be restrained." ”
He turned his head and asked Xin Hongyuan, "Mr. Xin, do you have any solutions?" ”
Xin Hongyuan walked around the corpse several times, but he didn't find any clues.
He whispered, "He was first controlled by the evil qi before he killed himself. The other party is very angry, and ordinary methods can't stop her at all. ”
Liu Dehai said with a calm face, "We have to solve this matter from the source, I already have a way." ”
His face was ugly, and he glared at me viciously.
Xin Hongyuan said, "Why don't you all go to where I live." I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you again. ”
Liu Dehai shook his head and said, "Do it according to my method first." Brother Chen, you and Shen Chao come with me. ”
Uncle Chen seemed to think of something, he hesitated a little, but there were Liu family members around him, and he couldn't choose, so he had to nod in agreement.
Xin Hongyuan didn't say anything more, but nodded slightly. Liu Dehai asked Chen Bo and me to surround him and walk towards his residence.
It gave me the feeling that Uncle Chen and I were taken for interrogation by them like prisoners.
When I arrived in the living room of Liu Dehai's house, everyone else was sitting on the sofa, and only Chen Bo and I were standing in the middle.
Liu Dehai took a few puffs of cigarette and asked, "Brother Chen, you have the best relationship with Grandpa Shen Chao, and he won't hide anything from you." You tell me that Lao Shen encountered a dead man with a bronze coffin on his back, and he took out a baby from the coffin. Where is that baby now? ”
I heard my grandfather say that it was also in the Liao River that he met a dead man who was holding a bronze coffin.
It's just that there was something in the coffin, and my grandfather never told me. Only then did I know that my grandfather was actually a baby from the bronze coffin.
Liu Dehai stared at Uncle Chen intently, and continued, "That baby is about the same age as Shen Chao, it should be him, right?" After asking this sentence, Liu Dehai stared at Uncle Chen's face.
Before coming, Uncle Chen had guessed what he was going to ask. The expression on Uncle Chen's face was very calm, and he said lightly, "Old Shen did take out a baby from the bronze coffin back then. But didn't you force him to bury the baby? Your Liu family is so domineering, who dares not to listen to you? ”
Liu Dehai sneered and said, "Don't lie anymore. You are the same as Lao Shen, you are not a thing! Shen Chao is that baby, and it was because of him, my eldest brother and second brother, that he died! ”
At this point, Uncle Chen has nothing to fear. He said with a cold face, "Who knows what hurtful things your Liu family has done?" This matter must have nothing to do with Chao'er. ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Dehai's face was full of murder, and he said angrily, "Lao Chen, don't think you are amazing. Without anyone, the world would go on as usual. Kill you, but it's as easy as killing an ant! ”
Uncle Chen said unhurriedly, "You can kill me, but your Liu family will definitely suffer retribution." ”
The muscles on Liu Dehai's face twitched a few times, he took a deep breath, his tone softened a little, and said, "Brother Chen, do you know where Lao Shen buried that baby?" ”
He has been testing Uncle Chen.
Chen Bo said, "Of course I do. Lao Shen specially explained this matter to me at the beginning, because he was afraid that you would find trouble with Chao'er in the future. ”
Hearing his words, my eyes were a little sour. Grandpa was very thoughtful, and he didn't worry about me all the time.
Liu Dehai said, "Then please go with us." I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death! What is dead must not be kept! ”
He looked at me with a cold gaze, and then led the people outside.
Uncle Chen has always been calm and walked with me in front of the crowd.
Near a dirt slope not far from the embankment, Uncle Chen stopped and said to them, "Old Shen told me that the baby is buried here. ”
In the place where Uncle Chen said, the ground was slightly raised, because of the long time, the dirt bag was about to disappear.
Liu Dehai instructed Liu Cong and his two sons, "You dig here." ”
They agreed, and kept digging. They dug for more than ten minutes, and a plank peeked out from underneath.
"Lao Shen told me that after he killed the baby, he put it in a wooden box and buried it here. ”
Liu Dehai was suspicious and asked them to be careful.
Sure enough, after clearing the plank to the side, a pair of yellowed bones emerged from underneath, and it looked like a baby.
Uncle Chen asked, "Now you are relieved, right?" Uncle Chen's face was full of mockery.
As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, the Liu family has done too many bad things, so they will be so suspicious.
Liu Dehai pondered for a while with a calm face and asked, "Lao Chen, I will ask you one last thing." If you can answer me, I will no longer doubt Shen Chao. ”
"What's the matter?" Uncle Chen asked.
Liu Dehai asked, "Did Lao Shen tell you where he picked up Shen Chao?" ”
Hearing his words, Uncle Chen's face immediately sank and said, "Lao Liu, don't go too far!" Lao Shen lost his life for the sake of the village, what qualifications do you have to doubt his grandson? ”
Although he saw the baby's bones, Liu Dehai was still a little skeptical.
As if he didn't know me, he looked at me carefully, and then said, "Old Chen, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and I will definitely investigate this matter clearly." If someone dares to calculate us, it will definitely not end well. ”
Uncle Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and said to me, "Chao'er, leave them alone, let's go back!" ”
Liu Degui led people to block our way, and they glared at us with unkind faces.
Uncle Chen blocked me behind him and said, "This matter has nothing to do with him, something is coming at me!" ”
Liu Dehai waved his hand at Liu Degui and said, "Let them go, wait until the matter is investigated, and see if his mouth is still hard." ”
Chen Bo pulled me through the crowd. Xin Hongyuan frowned, looked at the small skeleton, and never spoke.
Uncle Chen sent me to the door and said, "Chao'er, no matter what happens to me in the future, you have to take care of yourself." If it doesn't work, just leave the village. You're worthy of everyone anyway. ”
Uncle Chen knew the methods of the Liu family very well, and he was afraid that the Liu family would do something to him.
I said to him, "Uncle Chen, why don't we go together." ”
Uncle Chen shook his head and said, "I've lived a lot of years, and it's enough. As long as you're okay, I'll be worthy of your grandfather. ”
I gritted my teeth and said, "Since the Liu family is so kind to us, there is no need to stay here." ”
Uncle Chen shook his head and said, "I have already made up my mind that I will stay in the village in this life, whether I live or die. And you are different, because you have nothing to do with the village, and you have nothing to do with the Shen family. ”
I know that Uncle Chen and the Liu family lied, because if Grandpa really killed the baby, he would definitely not let him go.
I'm also full of suspicions. As for what the Liu family has done, it must have something to do with death.
According to what Uncle Chen said, Tai Sui was formed by the resentment of death, and if I brought it back when I died, it was to avenge her.
Looking at the expressions of Liu Dehai and others, you can know that she must have something to do with the baby that her grandfather took out of the bronze coffin.
I fell to and over on the bed and couldn't sleep, when suddenly someone knocked lightly on the window, and I sat up. What I saw was a familiar face, and the person who came was actually Cao Xi.
I quickly opened the door, Cao Xi went straight into the house, and I asked, "Haven't you already left the village?" ”
Cao Xi seemed to be in a good mood, she smiled and said, "Didn't I say that? I'm not going to leave until it's done. ”
"What else is going on with you?" I asked.
Cao Xi said, "You should thank me, knowing that the Liu family was coming to search your house, I quietly took Tai Sui away." ”
Only then did I realize that Tai Sui did not disappear by himself. I feel that Cao Xi is not afraid of Tai Sui at all, and seems to know its origin.
Cao Xi said, "As far as I know, the Liu family will not let you go, Tai Sui will only cause you trouble if he is placed here, so it is better to send it away." ”
"Where?" Actually, I wanted to give it away a long time ago. I was like holding a hot potato, and I was afraid of dying and looking for trouble.
Cao Xi said, "You brought it back to the village, and you have fulfilled your long-cherished wish to die." Just throw it into the pond at the edge of the village, and it's none of your business. ”
"Really?" I was somewhat ecstatic.
"Of course!" Cao Xi said with a smile.
I took Tai Sui out of the fish tank and looked around to see that there was no one around, and the two of us went out of the village.
A few dozen meters away from the village, there is a small pond. There is standing water in the pond all year round, and I threw Tai Sui into the pond, and my heart was much more steady.
I asked Cao Xi, "Where do you live?" ”
Cao Xi shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, you can take care of yourself!" ”
With that, she walked towards the outside of the village, and her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The next afternoon, the village suddenly became lively. Before I could go out, Uncle Chen had already entered the courtyard and asked me in a low voice, "Is Tai Sui still with you?" ”
I told him about Tai Sui being thrown into the pond.
Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you did it in time, Xin Hongyuan is searching for the source of evil qi again." I'm afraid they'll come to you. ”
Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me, I just need to watch the excitement from the sidelines.
Sure enough, as soon as we walked to the center of the village, we saw Xin Hongyuan walking towards us surrounded by a group of people.
Guided by the Trojan horse, they headed out of the village.
The Trojan horse was so amazing that it went all the way to the river, and it wandered back and forth along the river.
Xin Hongyuan already understood what it meant, and said to Liu Dehai, "Find someone to fish out the entire pond!" What we're looking for is inside! ”
