I was about to reach out and take it, but I flinched when I heard him. Ma Ming didn't think about my reaction, and continued to himself: "I ripped this thing off the baby mattress. I'm afraid it's made of baby skin. ”

I was just chilling, but when I heard him say this, I felt sick to my stomach and angry.

"Who did it, such a young child could be poisoned?" As the old saying goes, in the old days of cannibalism, you really didn't know what a beast in human skin could do.

Ma Ming shook his head: "This will not be answered until tomorrow." ”

I wondered if he had any other clues from the room, and if there were, why did he have to wait until tomorrow to reveal the truth? I was about to ask for an explanation, but as soon as Ma Ming let go, the tissue stuck to the wound fell, and a stream of blood flowed down his eyes. I felt so weak that I forgot to ask anything, and took out my phone and called an ambulance.

As for being asked by the security nurse why he visited Qingtong Manor at night, and where did he get a wound, many of them were used as gossip, Ma Ming had more than a dozen stitches, and the piece above his ear was shaved to only green stubble. When I thought of the origin of this wound, I didn't dare to laugh blatantly.

As for myself, it was only when I got into the ambulance that I found that my foot and neck were swollen so high. The little nurse smeared the medicine and wrapped a circle of bandages, told her not to move around frequently today, pay attention to rest, and walked out.

I was so tired that I didn't change my clothes, and I spent the night on the escort bed next to Ma Ming. I thought I could sleep well when I was so tired, but I didn't expect that the dreams were all bizarre and chaotic. For a while, I was sitting by the pond in a robe and a horse coat to feed the fish, and for a while I was standing next to the opera garden to watch the play, and then a woman appeared, covering her face and calling me the young master, crying and crying, and asked me to save her. I said eldest sister, I don't know you at all, can you let me go. She suddenly looked fierce, took a few steps closer to me, and then turned into a doll and fell to the ground.

I woke up from my dream in a daze, still unsure of the logic. Could it be that I was influenced by the female ghost that the maid turned into, and she regarded me as a young master who had an affair with her?

I'm really snowing in June, Dou E is wronged! Anyone who knows me knows that although I am a dick, I am a serious infatuated persona. Let's just say Xiaoya, since I established a relationship with her in the second semester of my sophomore year, I have cut off contact with those sisters and sisters. My parents divorced because my father cheated, so I have made up my mind since I was a child not to be a scumbag who disappoints women, and it is impossible to have an eye-to-eye with others when I have a wife.

But I didn't expect to be slapped in the face not long after I made these words.

When I woke up, Ma Ming had already gotten up, he looked vain and weak, but his physical fitness was very good, according to his own words, he was active in the front line of death all year round to exercise, the first day he opened a big hole in his brain, and the next day he was alive and well. I asked you what you were looking for, and he threw me the steamed buns and soy milk while looking for a cigarette.

I thanked me and began to gobble it up. I slept without eating the day before, and I was so hungry that I woke up several times in the middle of the night. The strange thing is that every time I wake up hungry and fall asleep, the scene in the dream will continue naturally. After eating the buns and drinking the soy milk, I found that there was still a stack of photos pressed at the bottom of the bag.

I asked, "What kind of picture is this?" Can I watch it? "One side has already reached out.

Ma Ming moved to the window and opened the window, put the ashtray on the shelf outside the window, and said: "This is the information of the old house that I entrusted others to find early in the morning, and I found something particularly interesting in it." Do you want to see it? Random. ”

I shook off the photo to understand the inexplicable schadenfreude in his words, the first few pictures are very normal character landscapes, I saw the ancestral ancestral hall, saw the well where the drowning person died in the front yard, and saw a solo photo of a woman taken alone, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her appearance was delicate, it seemed that she had come into contact with such a novel thing as a camera for the first time, her eyes were a little evasive, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a shy smile.

"After the Shen family moved to the other side of the strait, it didn't mix very well, and it went bankrupt in a few years, this is what I entrusted someone else's descendants to buy, all of which are the relics of the Shen family."

I pointed to the photo of the woman and asked, "This person is the young grandmother of the Shen family?" ”

"It's not. It's a maid. Speaking of this, he gave me a meaningful look: "This female ghost has a bit of a relationship with you. ”

I groaned, and I kind of understood who she was. A lady who is not a lady, but can be put in a precious box alone by the Shen family, must be the maid he cheated on. Ma Ming can even find this kind of thing, which is really related. But what does he mean? Why does this female ghost have a relationship with me again?

With that in mind, I flipped to the next photo, and with a shake of my hand, it fell into a greasy plastic bag.

In the early years of the last century, photography was immature, and some details were blurry, but I could still tell at a glance who was in the photograph. After all, no one will be wrong about a face that has been seen in the mirror every day for more than 20 years - Young Master Shen in the photo is at least eighty percent similar to me!

"What's going on?"

My mind was confused, and coupled with the specious dream last night and the night before, I couldn't help but think that there really were past and present lives in the world? Ma Ming told me not to think too much: "Where in the world are there not two people who look alike?" It's just a coincidence, if you were really Young Master Shen's reincarnation, we wouldn't be that scene last night. ”

After that, he asked me to go through the discharge procedures for him, saying that we still have a place to go today, which is related to whether we can find out the truth of the year and successfully take this mansion. I teased that he was really dedicated, so I went through the formalities with a lot of heart.

The hospital released people, and we hired a taxi to go to a rural village below Qingtong County, which Ma Ming said. The van parked in front of the hospital is a little familiar, as soon as I got in the car, I greeted him warmly, and when I looked up, it was not a coincidence, it was the same driver who brought us to Qingtong County last time.

Ma Ming told him the address, and the eldest brother answered, saying, "I know that place well, it is our hometown." ”

As soon as he was excited, he couldn't help but bring out a little local accent when he spoke. Ma Ming asked him if he knew a family surnamed Cui in the village.

"You say Lao Cui? I know, we're all in the same group. Speaking of Lao Cui, their family also has a background, let's just say that Lao Cui is his mother, it was a big family back then. The one who often goes in and out of Qingtong Manor is the niece of the young grandmother of the Shen family! If he hadn't beaten the landlord back then, how could he marry the cripple of Lao Cui's father? ”

I instantly understood what Ma Ming meant. It is said that the Shen family fled to the bend, and the dead were scattered, and it was unrealistic to come to Qi to ask the truth of the year, so it was better to start from the local area, restore the truth at that time from the blood relatives of the young grandmother of the Shen family, and solve the problem from the root.

The straight line shown by the navigation is not far, but there are many mountains in the countryside, and the roads are built in twists and turns, almost throwing people's lungs out. By the time I arrived at my destination, I had already vomited twice, and Ma Ming was smoking a cigarette next to me and laughing at my weak chicken.

We didn't mention to the driver's eldest brother that the purpose of looking for Lao Cui was to find his wife, so when we arrived at Cui's tiled house after a rugged mountain road, we had to face an extremely depressing fact - the old man was already old and senile, not to mention that back then, he didn't even remember what he had eaten at the previous meal.

Uncle Cui is a simple man, when we went he was going to pick up dung to water the fields, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw the guests, and then he was busy washing his hands and welcomed us in.

Cui's house is a typical courtyard in the northern region, the area is not large, only divided into the front and back halls, many of the house tiles are broken and not repaired, and the water is dripping and leaking on rainy days. Only the dining hall and the wing room where the mother and son live are relatively tidy. Cui's father went a few years ago, and the old Uncle Cui has been supporting his mother, and the village girl dislikes his family for being dragged down, so he has never married.

Ma Ming and I didn't want to follow into the wing, so we stood under the eaves outside and waited. The wing room is slightly smaller than the lobby, divided into two rooms by a curtain, with the old mother living on the left and the old Uncle Cui on the right. To be honest, I don't avoid suspicion, it's understandable that the girl doesn't want to marry, and I can see the scene inside through the faint curtain, but I can understand Uncle Cui's approach.

The old man is old, and he is delirious, and he broke his tibia because of the snow melt and fell a few years ago, so he can only lie in bed and drink some liquid food all day long, not to mention avoiding suspicion, and his son has to pee on the. We turned into the lobby and waited, and Uncle Cui helped the old mother in, a thin and small lump, with the folds of her cheeks falling on the loose dough, like withered tree bark. Looking at her with cloudy eyes, I couldn't tell for a moment whether she was looking at Ma Ming or Ma Ming, or if no one was looking.

The threshold was very high, and it took a little effort for the old man to come over. Leaning on crutches, his steps trembling. When I got in front of me, my cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a tear, and I knelt down with two old legs, which scared me so much that I almost jumped, and the tea in my hand overflowed.

The next sentence of the old man's voice was stunned. Muddy tears crawled all over her tree-like face, calling to me, "Young Master! ”

Uncle Cui and I looked at each other and didn't know what to do. It was Ma Ming who reacted first, stepped in front of the old man and helped the person up, explaining: "Old man, you admit your mistake!" ”

The old man didn't listen at all, he sat down in his chair like an empty shelf without a soul, and looked at me intently the whole time. I was stared at by her, and if I didn't have a mission, I would have wanted to run away.

The old man's eyes wandered, and he didn't know where he saw through me, and he said, "How many years, how many years...... I still remember those beautiful days, every spring, the daughters of the family went to pick camellias. You. You. Master. You are a talented man who came back from abroad, with a lot of money and a handsome appearance...... You always receive the most flowers...... Everybody loves you. ”

She looked at me, and the object of her words was another person who looked like me. I was a little flattered by my senses. After all, from a poor dick to a big one, it's the first time someone has praised me for being eight buckets tall, and the little girls like it. Although I praised this 'girl' of mine, the annual discipline inspection committee is really not small.

Seeing that I didn't react, Ma Ming poked his elbow and came towards my waist. I knew it was urging me to hurry up and take advantage of the situation. It's not that I didn't think about this situation before I came, and I already have a set of arguments in mind. glanced at Uncle Cui, and saw that he had no intention of objecting. Then he considered his tone and said, "A-Jing...... Have you seen Ma Wen in recent days? ”

Ma Wen is the name of the maid I heard from the information. A Jing is the old man's maiden name, probably no one has called this name since the death of his wife, and when she heard it today, her eyes lit up, and a few hints of girlish brilliance flashed.

Hearing the name Ma Wen, she pursed her lips and said, "The young master asked her again?" Aren't you afraid that your aunt will be jealous? ”

Her voice was very hoarse, and her tone was lively and girlish, with a kind of weird eccentricity. The old man's aunt was naturally the young grandmother, so I stubbornly asked, "Okay, Ajing, just tell me." ”

"Ma Wen is a female cousin."

Everyone present was taken aback, they didn't expect her to suddenly say such a thing.

There was an innocent evil in the old man's expression. It's like a little ignorant child who has great malice towards others.

"My aunt said that Ma Wen was pregnant, and the young master still wanted to hide it, but everyone knew about it. When he was out of town, I saw the housekeeper and the maid arresting her into the room. A bowl of safflower water went down, and a bloody mass flowed out of her legs. My aunt picked up the crying thing and gave Ma Wen a crib. Then Ma Wen went crazy. ”

"My aunt said that she locked Ma Wen in the basement and didn't send water or food, and everyone bet that she could hold out until the young master came back."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt: "Are you not afraid of doing this, not afraid that I will come back, and punish you?" ”

The old man tilted his head like an innocent little girl: "But young master, you never care about this." You know all about it. ”

I couldn't help but groan. I didn't expect that just thinking that it was a poisonous woman doing evil, this young master of the wrong seed is also a master who does not dare to stand up for his own woman!
