Chapter 262: Dumplings (7)
The day after Yun Pianpian committed suicide in prison, Ma Gongzi dreamed of a grimace, and when he woke up, he heard the sound of rushing water in the courtyard outside, so he got up, lit a lamp and candle, and ordered the little maid to go and check.
The little maid opened the door of the bedroom with his hazy sleepy eyes, rubbed his eyes and looked into the courtyard. In the moonlight, I saw the back of a woman, standing naked under the begonia tree. The little guy wondered "um", and was about to return to his son, but saw that the woman suddenly turned around and smiled weirdly at him.
The little girl was stunned, she had never seen such a terrible smile and such a terrible face, and she had a vague premonition that she seemed to have seen a ghost.
After the little girl reacted and let out a scream of fear, the woman disappeared as well. Ma Gongzi heard the sound and rushed out of the bedroom, only to see the little girl staying there stiff, his eyes still staring at the begonia tree in a daze.
Without waiting for Ma Gongzi to ask, there was a rumor from outside, saying that Yun Pianpian, the eldest lady of the Yun family, hanged herself in prison.
First, the little guy saw a ghost in the courtyard, and then the news of Yun Pianpian's death, coupled with the innocent death of his previous sweetheart, made Ma Gongzi hold his breath, so at dawn, he only took many family members to find the Yun family violently. Knowing that the Yun family went to the county government to collect Yun Pianpian's body, he led people to block the door of the county office, and even made trouble all the way back to the Yun family.
Whether Yun Pianpian is really dead or fake, Ma Gongzi naturally has doubts in his heart, so he ordered his family to check. The selected family member is a martial arts background, bold and careful, but also a womanizer. This guy saw that Yun Pianpian was beautiful, so he took advantage of the inspection and secretly touched a few handfuls. That night, the offended housekeeper muttered and jumped into the well in the backyard of the Ma family.
"How do you know these things?"
Xing Ruyi looked at the young woman.
"Oh, what is the relationship between this Yun family and the Ma family? The Yun family is unlucky, the Ma family naturally wants to come to see the joke, and if something happens to the Ma family, it naturally can't escape the eyes and ears of the Yun family. It didn't take long for everyone in the house to know. ”
"What about that little guy? I'm asking the one who jumped into the well, what happened in the end? ”
"Of course it's dead, dead through." The young woman said, with that nervous expression on her face: "Actually, it's not just a little guy who is unlucky in the Ma family, but also a young man Ma. ”
"What the hell did he too?"
"We don't know if it's a ghost, but for the things he did, the eldest lady did a ghost, and it's strange if she is willing to let him go." The young woman exhaled from her nose and snorted coldly: "I also heard from others, saying that after the little girl died, Ma Gongzi was also frightened, and often dreamed, either dreaming that the maid was chopped into meat sauce by the eldest lady and wrapped into dumplings for him to eat, or I dreamed of the little guy who jumped into the well, and there was a female ghost with a face that could not be seen clearly. directly launched a high fever, and everyone was dazed and unconscious. Master Ma invited many doctors to see it, but it didn't work, and finally found a Taoist priest to help him take care of it.
Oh yes. Miss Yun couldn't be buried in the ancestral grave of the Ma family because she didn't leave the pavilion, but according to the rules of the Yun family, it was not easy to enter the ancestral tomb of the Yun family, so Master Yun and Mrs. Yun chose another place, but on the night of the burial, something happened in the Yun family. As a result, Master Yun suddenly decided to bury Miss Yun elsewhere. As for where exactly is it buried? We don't know, we only know that God is mysterious and secret, and even mourning or something has been saved, probably because of the shameful panic. ”
Xing Ruyi nodded, and ordered Li Mao to give the woman some scattered silver taels, and the woman was so happy that she couldn't do it, put on her clothes, and took the man home. The village chief looked at the two corpses on the ground, and some didn't know what to do with it, but Chang Tai came up with an idea for him, asking him to send two groups of people out of the village, and one to the county government to report the case, after all, in addition to the eldest lady of the Yun family, there was also an old Wei who died in this well, and he had to report to the government. The other sent to the Yun family to report the news, and asked the people of the Yun family to come forward to settle the ill-fated Miss Yun. As for the moment, I can only find a place to store the two corpses first, and wait for the people from the Yamen and the Yun family to come.
The village chief thought for a while, and finally pointed to the direction west of the village and said, "There is a temple over there, which was left from the original, so it is better to move these two people over there first." ”
Chang Tai has no opinion, and they have no opinion on Xing Ruyi. Seeing that Chang Tai had no objections, the village chief arranged the matter, and then invited Chang Tai and Xing Ruyi and his party to sit at home for a while.
Halfway through, Li Mao cautiously asked Xing Ruyi: "Shopkeeper, have you ever looked at that Miss Yun a little familiar?" ”
"Familiar! What do I want to look familiar? Xing Ruyi walked while looking at the direction of the village, and always felt that something was wrong.
"The shopkeeper really doesn't feel familiar?" Li Mao asked again.
"Could it be that I should know that eldest lady of the Yun family?" Xing Ruyi stopped and looked at Li Mao a little strangely. In the past, although Li Mao had a broken mouth and liked to talk, it was the first time he spoke like this.
Li Mao sighed, took out a mirror from the package he was carrying, and handed it to Xing Ruyi.
"My bronze mirror was given to me by that guy. How? I'm too heavy to help me hold it. ”
Li Mao shook his head, put the bronze mirror upright, and put it in front of Xing Ruyi's face: "Don't you really think that Miss Yun's face is familiar?" ”
Xing Ruyi looked at himself in the bronze mirror and shook his head suspiciously.
"Doesn't my mother think that Miss Yun is a little similar to you?" Yin Yuan really couldn't look past it, so he reminded him.
"Is there one?" Xing Ruyi looked at her facial features, to be honest, if her facial features were separated, they were not delicate enough, and it was barely enough to make do with them, if it was a single round of posture, if Siniang had eight points, she would be able to make up three points at best, and the rest would depend on her own temperament. But Miss Yun ...... Xing Ruyi carefully recalled the appearance of that Miss Yun, to be honest, the focus she just paid attention to was not on the other party's facial features, so the memory was not deep.
"Yin Chensi, do I look similar to that Miss Yun?"
"Not like that!" The fox replied with only two succinct words.
"Brother Chang? You looked carefully at the time, tell me, does that Miss Yun really look like me? ”
Chang Tai carefully looked at Xing Ruyi's facial features: "If you talk about temperament, there is no half similarity, but if you look at the eyebrows and eyes, there is a little shadow." ”
"Ruyi's father and Uncle Chang are really short-sighted, not just a little shadow, there are five or six points of similarity. However, Uncle Chang was right in what he said just now, that is, in terms of temperament, that Miss Yun is not half similar to your mother. ”
"So, you and Li Mao didn't return to the Su family but secretly ran to this village because you found a person in that well who looked very similar to me?"
Li Mao nodded hurriedly, and Yin Yuan followed softly.
"But don't you think it's a little strange?" Xing Ruyi looked at himself in the mirror and asked the person next to him: "If I really have a little resemblance to that Miss Yun, why didn't anyone mention it when I was at the scene just now." A female corpse dead in a well, a person standing alive in front of him, even if everyone knows that these two people are not the same, wouldn't they be curious to look at them twice? ”
"It's a little weird!" Chang Tai also fell into thought: "If a normal person meets two people who look similar on the street, they can't help but take a few more looks, but the villagers in this village don't seem to think anything. ”
"Actually, there's nothing surprising about that." When the village chief heard the discussion of several people, he turned around and smiled: "This tree is the same, and the people are similar, which is a very normal thing in itself. Besides, just now, the attention of the big guys was on the dead man's body, and there were few who really dared to look at the dead man's face, and they didn't dare to look at the face, so how could they know if the Miss Yun and the girl in front of him looked similar.
Besides, this person has been dead for so long, and he has been soaking in the well for so long, and his face is estimated to have been soaked in shapeless, and it is still possible to see if it is similar. As for the little daughter-in-law of the Liu family, she can't believe everything she says. That little daughter-in-law has a good face, nine and a half of the ten sentences are to save face, as far as her identity as a temporary maid in the Yun family, she may not have really seen Miss Yun, I mean, the living Miss Yun. So it's normal that she doesn't recognize it. ”
"I see!" Xing Ruyi let out a long sigh and asked Yin Yuandao: "Is my mother really similar to her?" ”
Yin Yuan stretched out a small hand: "At most, four or five points are similar, but just like what the village chief's grandfather said, this person is already similar, and it is only two eyebrows." ”
"Also, my appearance is extremely ordinary, and I am not a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and it is not strange to meet someone who looks similar to myself."
"You don't look ordinary!" The fox's nature of protecting the short was undoubtedly revealed, he looked into Xing Ruyi's eyes, and said to her very seriously: "You are unique! As for the eldest lady of the Yun family, you will naturally know why she is somewhat similar to you in the future. ”
"Why? Did you know something but didn't tell me? Xing Ruyi grabbed the fox's clothes and asked.
The fox shrugged softly, motioning for her not to ask again.
Xing Ruyi turned around angrily, only to find that they were already standing in front of a new compound. There were five new tiled houses in the courtyard, and the courtyard wall was a fence made of tree branches, and the village chief stood in front of the door and said to everyone: "This is the old home, ladies and gentlemen, please come in!" ”
When he entered the courtyard, Xing Ruyi saw that the courtyard looked from the outside, it was a newly built tiled house, but when he entered the house, he saw that the house was renovated, not brand new. There is a thriving stove in the middle of the house, which makes the whole room look very warm. Xing Ruyi's gaze looked around the room, and then landed on the main beam in the room.
On the main beam, there are seven knife marks clearly printed!
