Chapter 13: Silence
The sun has set, and winter sunlight sometimes doesn't bring warmth. The snow melted, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on every inch of the house outside.
And the firewood pile where Ah Hua is buried is a place where no ray of sunlight shines in......
Gotta hurry up, if Ah Hua wakes up in a while, he will be in trouble!
Hu Xin stood behind the door of the inner room, looking at the couple through the cracks in the dilapidated wooden door, her clothes and hair were dirty because of dragging Ah Hua along.
Her eyes are calm, but she is very afraid in her heart, like a thief who steals people's money and is afraid of being discovered, and she is afraid that she can't leak the slightest flaw!
"Why hasn't Ah Hua come back yet, isn't he coming back today?"
Ah Hua's father was hunched over, and his back was no longer straight. He packed up the unsold wontons on the cart, looked at the house, and always felt that something was strange, but he didn't think about it.
His father thought Ah Hua had gone out to meet his friends......
Ah Hua's father walked out of the house, ready to go to the vegetable field behind him to find some potatoes for the winter, and Ah Hua Niang was about to make a fire in the house to cook.
"Why is there still water in this pot, Dad, ah......" The words were not finished, and all the conjectures did not even have time to ask.
With a slight exclamation, a vivid and dying life soon ended in Hu Xin's hands - she took advantage of Ahua's mother to work by the stove and cut off the woman's life from behind.
Ah Hua's mother didn't even have a moment of struggle, his father was still looking for stored potatoes in the small cellar next to him, they couldn't make a cellar as big as someone else's, and they couldn't eat so many things, which was enough for the couple to eat usually.
This large basket of potatoes will be enough for them until next spring.
However, next year, will there be spring?
Hu Xin looked at Ah Hua's mother who fell to the ground, without the slightest pity and guilt, she didn't care about the life and death of these people for a long time.
When my mother died, did anyone care? Since it's all the life of ants, what do you have to do with me?
The snow is still melting, and the cold night is coming, how will this cold night pass, or how should it end......
"Mother, you burn the fire, Ah Hua will definitely come back in the evening, let's do something good!"
Ah Hua's face is very kind, but this warmth is about to disappear this winter.
Ah Hua's father was at the door of the house, putting down the basket of potatoes on his back, and was about to enter the house......
But as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw his wife lying in a pool of blood, and the blood stained this obscure and dilapidated house.
Ah Hua's father didn't know what was going on, and he slashed his neck with a slash.
"Uh......" Ah Hua covered his neck, until this moment he didn't know what was going on or why......
Ah Hua's father covered his neck and quickly fell, he fell not far from his wife, and when he fell, he saw Hu Xin behind him - Hu Xin was standing in front of him, holding a knife. His eyes watched him fall silently, not surprised, not stunned.
Everything was just planned, and there was nothing unacceptable.
"Who!" Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the snow outside!
Under the silent snow, any sound will stand out.
The couple in front of them is dead...... Hu Xin didn't bother to take a look, she hurriedly turned around, could it be that there was someone here?
"Who's there? You come out for me! ”
What Hu Xin wants to do is not finished yet, there is still one last step left, there must be no mistakes, this is her only chance to live a good life!
She looked around again, who else could there be in such a big place?
At this time, Hu Xin saw a figure not far away and quickly ran away, sneaky, she looked at the footprints in the snow, which happened to be the road that ran towards the person. You don't have to think about it to know that the man must have seen it all just now......
However, Hu Xin did not chase him.
She has no friends, and she is not afraid of anyone. Since that person clearly saw all this but didn't stop her from killing, it proves that this is not a good thing either, besides, that Ah Hua hasn't solved it yet!
There was not much time left for her, just now Ah Hua Niang lit the fire under the stove, and it was still burning vigorously at this moment.
Hu Xin ran under the pile of firewood, dragged Ah Hua out hard, and dragged him to the house step by step, these three people can be regarded as a reunion.
Immediately afterwards, she entered the house, put the few pieces of broken silver and a few pieces of Ah Hua's clothes on her body, and started to unpack the burden that Ah Hua carried back today - yo, it seems that the Lou family is not bad to his subordinates!
It's time for all this to end, and if you don't leave, it will be dark.
After packing up everything, Hu Xin stood next to the stove and muttered to himself: "Don't blame me, everyone has their own life!" ”
She took out the torches under the stove and the oil drum on the stove, poured them all in the house, and then lit the room with a fire, Ahua just didn't wake up after being knocked out by her, and she wanted to never suffer from future troubles, so Hu Xin even closed the door from the outside.
It is impossible for a living person to live......
Hu Xin stood in the snow outside the door, calmly looking at the dilapidated house that was slowly burning with fire, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she wasn't afraid at all. Because she understands that only in this way can she replace Ah Hua forever and live in this world.
"Blame me, I only know that you are a new maid this year, if you don't die, where will I come from in the future?" Hu Xin is already crazy, but he is just a calm madman.
The fire is still burning, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and someone may come if you don't leave. Thinking of this, Hu Xin didn't stay any longer and left quickly.
Following the footprints she had just found, she was ready to go down further, not afraid.
She wondered, who was watching what was going on?
Hu Xin followed the footprints down, and after walking a short distance, he saw a jade pendant next to the footprints.
There are only a few lines of footprints here, and if you want to take the forked road, you have to follow this straight road first, and then go forward to have a road.
In other words, the footprints must have been left by the person who peeked at it just now. This jade pendant is quite valuable, and the people who live here can't afford it, if it's not that person, who else will it be?
"It's so familiar...... Hu Xin looked at this cyan water-patterned jade pendant, and always felt as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything. But she can be sure that this jade pendant, she must have seen someone wear it.
Forget it, let's talk about it later, anyway, she will change her name to Sun in the future, and as Ahua's substitute sister, no one will know, what are you afraid of?
Hu Xingang was about to throw away this jade pendant, and then looked at this jade pendant, it should be worth a few dollars, so he took the jade pendant back after thinking about it.
She walked down the road she had just come from, and walked out in less than half an hour, and after two more streets, there was a pawnshop.
The number of people strolling around the street gradually increased, and Hu Xin took the money to buy a very beautiful lantern-
"Hey, little friend, can you come and do my sister a favor?"
She saw a kind-faced child here, and her father didn't seem to be around, just in time to help her take this jade pendant.
"What's busy, sister?" The little girl looked at the lantern in Hu Xin's hand, it was so beautiful......
She's not that stupid! Since someone saw her kill someone, in case it was a rich and powerful family, and she became this jade pendant, didn't she look for death by herself?
"See the pawnshop in front of you? Someone wanted to harm my sister, but my sister didn't dare to go in. You help me take this jade pendant and give me the money, which is to save my sister's life, and you come over to give the money to my sister in a while, and my sister will give you this big lantern! ”
Children are the best to fool, the little girl took the jade pendant in Hu Xin's hand and went to the pawnshop.
Hu Xin looked at the little girl's back, just stood in place and waited, and after a while, the little girl came out with a jade pendant, but someone followed her behind, it was a guy.
Hu Xin hurriedly hid behind the wall, only leaking out the lantern, but the child was clever and walked this way when he saw the lantern.
Seeing that the child was getting closer and closer, Hu Xin hugged the child over-
"Don't make a noise first, just give it to you, my sister will give you the lantern immediately, if you make a noise, this lantern will be discovered by other children, and my sister can't give it to you."
"Well, I'm not going to make a sound!" The child was very obedient, and such a little gadget fooled him.
Hu Xin hid the child in the corner, blocked it with the hay next to him, and as soon as he turned around, the guy came head-on, was he discovered?
