In the middle of the night, the whole village fell into a deep sleep.

Yang's mother and daughter packed up a few of the best clothes, brought all the soft clothes that could be found at home, and loaded them with dry food and water, and then sneaked out of the house and walked out of the village.

The night was dark, and the figures of the two of them quickly disappeared in the thick fog.

……

……

The fact that Yang's mother and daughter killed Lao Zheng Tou and ran away was not noticed by anyone at first.

It wasn't until six or seven days later that a family in a neighboring village suddenly came to the door.

This family wants to marry a daughter-in-law, a month ago, they asked Lao Zheng Tou to order a set of tables, chairs and cabinets, and said that they would send them over on the seventh day of the first month of this month, but it was the middle of the month, but they didn't see Lao Zheng Tou send things over.

The family was really impatient to wait, so they went to Lao Zhengtou's house to urge and inquire.

What came was a mother-in-law in his fifties and an honest man in his thirties, this mother-in-law everyone called her Mrs. Zhang, and this man was Mrs. Zhang's son Liu Da.

Mrs. Zhang thought that she was going to marry her granddaughter-in-law, and she would have to do family affairs in half a month, but Lao Zheng Tou might as well send things as promised, how long did she want to delay?

Zhang Da pushed a cart, and Mrs. Zhang sat on it angrily, but when she arrived here, she found something strange.

The courtyard door was closed and locked from the outside, and she knocked on the door of the nearest Huang Liu's house where Lao Zheng Tou's family lived, and it was the Liu family who opened the door.

The two also knew each other, and after a few short greetings, Mrs. Zhang asked with a hint of confusion: "Do you know where Lao Zheng Tou went?" I came to his house, but the door was locked. ”

"I don't know, I saw that his house locked the door a few days ago, and I don't know if Lao Zheng Tou went out with his family!"

"Well, what can I do? My grandson will get married next month, and he will find Lao Zheng Tou to order furniture, and he is in a hurry to arrange the wedding room! Mrs. Zhang said anxiously.

"Why don't you wait at my house first? There's no telling when he'll be back. Liu said.

"It's okay, then bother!"

"What's so polite with me? Please come in? ”

Mrs. Zhang then led her son to Huang Liu's house to sit and eat melon seeds, but it was almost noon, and Lao Zhengtou's house still did not move.

She couldn't sit still, so she went to the door of Lao Zhengtou's house again, and looked inside through the crack in the door.

I don't know why, she felt a little weird, so she pulled Liu Shi and said: "Look at this yard, there is still carpentry work that has not been done, and there was a heavy rain the day before yesterday, these things are drenched outside, if Lao Zheng Tou really goes out, will he not pack up his things?" It's not like him! ”

When Liu Shi heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense: "You are right, Lao Zheng Tou, who looks at the thick branches and leaves, is actually very careful, and he loves these wooden tools the most, he will not just leave them uncleaned and thrown outside!" ”

"And when did he leave, do you know?"

"I just have an impression of this, about the sixth day of the new year, his daughter Zheng Niangzi took her husband and son back, but left in a hurry after noon, and early the next morning, I went out to pour water, and found that the door of his house had been locked! You say, isn't it, he went to the county seat to join his daughter? Liu speculated.

"Alas, you see, my grandson is going to get married next month, and he is really anxious to arrange the wedding room, I thought, since he was still at home a few days ago, those tables, chairs, cabinets and whatever, should have been almost done, it is better for me to open the door lock today, let's pull the finished furniture back first, you be a witness, we shouldn't take it, we won't take it at all!" Mrs. Zhang said.

"But I don't have the key to his door!"

"Then pry it open first? Do you have an idle door lock at home, I'll pay for it and buy another one! Mrs. Zhang patted her chest and said very proudly.

As soon as the Liu family heard that there was money to be made, and it was related to human affection, he hesitated a little and agreed.

Zhang Da borrowed a small hammer from Liu's house, and smashed the door lock of Lao Zheng Tou's house in two or three clicks.

However, as soon as they entered the door, several people suddenly smelled a disgusting stench in front of the mess in the courtyard, which smelled not the smell of feces and urine, but as if something had died and the corpse had rotted and stinked.

A few people suddenly felt a little unusual.

"This, this ......" Mrs. Zhang didn't know what to say, she had a bad premonition, and pointed to the door of the house, "The door of this courtyard is locked, but the doors of these rooms are not even closed, and the door of this stove room is also wide open, are you not afraid of being attacked by rats at night?" ”

"It's getting weirder the more you look at it." Liu Shi muttered and said, "You wait here first, I'll go back and ask my family to come and have a look!" ”

With that, she walked out of the courtyard.

And Mrs. Zhang stood in the yard, covering her nose and unable to suppress the smell.

She couldn't help but follow the smell and walked into the house, only to find that it was not in the hall, but in the east house next to the hall, which is generally where the head of the family lives.

The door of the Dongli house was not closed, it was hidden.

The closer I got, the more disgusting the smell becomes.

Mrs. Zhang took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, stood outside and pushed open the door, looked inside, and the terrifying scene immediately made her scream!

"Ahh

As soon as Liu led Huang Liu into the courtyard gate, he heard Mrs. Zhang's terrifying scream.

The two were immediately taken aback: "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

At this time, as soon as Zhang Da heard the cry of his mother, he hurriedly ran over, and when he saw the situation in the house, he immediately turned his head and leaned against the wall, and vomited.

Mrs. Zhang's hands trembled, and the three souls pointed to the inside of the house in fright, and said, "Dead, dead!" So many dead people! What a lot of dead people! ”

When Liu and Huang Liu heard this, their hearts jumped, they glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked over.

When the two of them saw what was going on in the house, Liu was directly frightened and her legs weakened, if Huang Liu hadn't grabbed her quickly, she would have sat on the ground!

"Gotta tell Lizheng quickly!"

Liu's legs were weak and he supported his man, and after saying this sentence weakly, he couldn't hold back, and with a "vomit", all the undigested filth in his stomach spit on Huang Liu's body!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the news of the death of Lao Zheng Tou's family has been spread in the village.

Even Gu Baoying, who was preparing at home to go to Nanxi Village to see Mrs. Li later, heard about it.

"What do you say? Lao Zheng Tou was killed? There are so many female corpses in the room?! She was shocked!

"That's the case, it's just that among those female corpses, there should be no Yang and Gu Xinru, because those female corpses have been dead for a long time and have been made into dried corpses." Zhiyan looked at her and said.

"No, I'll have to go over and see for myself!" Gu Baoying twisted her eyebrows slightly, and said.

"I'll go with you!" Zhiyan immediately said.

"Hmm." Gu Baoying nodded, thought about it, and said to Gu Xian, who was resting at home today, "Big brother, I'll go to Lao Zhengtou's house with Zhiyan to have a look, if Fourth Master Jin comes to me, you ask him to wait at home for a while." ”

She told what happened to Lao Zheng Tou's house.

Gu Xian thought of a certain possibility, and couldn't help but turn pale.

"Don't worry, those female corpses don't seem to be the Yang family and Gu Xinru, they are all dried corpses that have been dead for a long time." Gu Baoying said.

"Well, I—I'm not worried." Gu Xian's face turned red and said.

"Even if you are worried, there is nothing to blame, after all, it is your mother and sister!" Gu Baoying said with a smile, and together with Zhiyan, they quickly arrived at Lao Zhengtou's house.
