Chapter 26: The Truth
She hung him up again, and this time the blood was flowing more cheerfully, dripping into the water as fast as she expected.
"Your answer just now, halfway through the back, suddenly became smooth, and it seemed that you blurted out without recalling, I don't believe it. Xi Huanyan nestled in the chair and grabbed a handful of fried pumpkin seeds in her hand - when she tied Xi Qiongzhong, she brought them out of his house, "Before your blood dries up, you still have a chance to remember carefully." ”
Xi Qiongzhong greeted her whole family in a broken heart, and cried and scolded her for demons and monsters, but every time he scolded hard, the blood flowed faster, and finally he was silent, hanging on a shelf like a disemboweled.
He was expecting Xi Xushui or someone to save him, but he also knew that it was about the middle of the night, and he was living alone in a room, and no one would notice that he was missing before dawn.
What if they find out, can they find themselves?
Xi Huanyan dared to take away the strip of cloth in his mouth, and let him shout and scream, which means that there is no one around!
Which houses are unhoused?
Is it an empty house on the west side of the village, or a new house that has not yet been completed in the east, or a ..... in the mountains and forests? Hunter's House?!
The chill in his heart jumped up, and he shook violently, could it be, could it be the room where the corpse was buried!
What to do?
What to do?
The room was unusually quiet, whether it was the silent darkness, or the bad posture, the pain in his throat, he was at a loss.
One drop, two drops, three drops, the blood beads slowly and forcefully smashed into the water, and the unprecedented anxiety and fear flooded his heart, and he began to yell again, but it was more like fuel to aggravate death, and it didn't take long for him to gasp, "Are you still there?"
"No, you're going to kill me!"
"You're going to kill my ......"
He was like a lost and dying fish, or a throat-breaking chicken that finally couldn't flutter its wings.
But he probably didn't know that across from him, behind the little wooden door with the hole open, there was a man in the back room who was gagged and tied to a chair, looking at him with tears in his eyes.
Xi Huanyan patted off the crumbs that fell from the pumpkin seed shell in his hand, walked into the back room, walked around to the back of the chair, and whispered in this person's ear, "This is strange, isn't it, if he didn't do anything, why are you sure that I will definitely kill him?" I'm so afraid that I don't even have the courage to confess." ”
"So, Xi Qiongwan ......," she straightened the head of the girl, who was nearly ten years older than herself, and made her look directly at her cousin, "He, you, or the surviving people, were all involved in the murder of my mother, right?"
"Who?" asked loudly in the hanging dome as if it were a reflection of light, "what did you do to the dome?!"
Xi Huanyan continued to say to her, "You have two choices now, one is to tell me the truth and avoid his suffering, and the other is to be like him, hang up, shed enough blood and then die, have you thought about it?"
"Don't say it, don't say it, she won't let us go, she won't let us go!"
"You are very thief-minded, it seems that I have not wronged anyone. Xi Huanyan threw the dagger in his hand, penetrated Xi Qiongzhong's head, and then picked up a piece of rope on the ground and strangled Xi Qiongwan's neck.
The feeling of suffocation woke Xi Qiongwan from her distraction, and she no longer looked at the corpse dangling from the beam, crying and nodding frantically.
Xi Huanyan relieved her strength, took away the cloth that gagged her, and signaled that she could speak.
Xi Qiongwan finally cried, out of breath, and waited until his neck was tightened again before he hurriedly defended, "It's none of my business, it's all the patriarch's business!
She snorted, "Make it clear." ”
"I don't know, I really don't know, it's all the patriarch's fault, they were all dead when I woke up!"
"What is Xi Qiongzhong hiding!"
Xi Qiongwan shook his head and cried.
Xi Huanyan put her hand on her shoulder and said calmly, "I'll count to three." ”
"One"
"It's none of my business, it's none of my business......"
"Two"
"You let me go, run away quickly, the patriarch will kill you!"
"Three..."
"She's dead by the time I get to me!" screamed, and the room was as quiet as a grave.
Xi Qiongwan waited cautiously with bated breath, and seeing that she didn't make the next move, she spoke again, "It's Xi Xushui and Xi Qiongdong, they stunned everyone with food with anesthetics, and when I woke up, everyone else died, and there were only seven of us in the house...... And you and your mother are alive. ”
Xi Huanyan's eyes were cold, the candle flame flickered, and a certain moment the moonlight entered the room.
"Go on. ”
"He wants to shut our mouths ......"
"Who!"
"Xi Xushui!" Xi Qiongwan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a puff, "He forced us to swear allegiance to him, and let us kill her together." ”
"Kill with what. ”
"Dagger. ”
"How to kill. ”
"One person, one moment. ”
"I don't want to, I don't want to, I'm last in line, she was already dead when it was my turn! Really, what I said is true, I was forced, I didn't kill your mother, I didn't, you should go to Xi Xushui, Xi Qiongdong, they were all at their instigation, as well as Xi Cangsheng, Xi Cangping, Xi Canglie, when they started, she was still alive!"
"What other plans do you have for Xi Xushui? ”
"He wants to completely control the village, let the villagers become his soldiers, so that they can go outside to make contributions, they have already chosen the address to settle down, just around Hong Town, north of Zhongchao Mountain, I heard them say, there is a deserted village there, you can live in it, and it is not far from the town!"
Xi Huanyan took off the hemp rope hanging around Xi Qiongwan's neck, "I want you to write everything down and go to the clan hall to tell the truth, can you do it." ”
"Yes, yes!" Xi Qiongwan sobbed and nodded desperately, "I'm sure I'll write down the process of how they killed your mother." ”
"Shut up. Xi Huanyan said gloomily, "You just have to write how they murdered the survivors in order to control the whole village, understand?"
"Understood, understood!"
She untied one of her hands, took pen and paper and made her write a full twenty-one, and when she was done, she was stunned with another palm.
Xi Huanyan glanced at Xi Qiongwan, who was hanging his neck, and walked to a house pillar, which was covered with auspicious clouds and flower reliefs, all of which were exquisite and beautiful.
She rubbed it wistfully, then pressed one of the flower-shaped reliefs, and a shiny marble tile on the ground sank to reveal a hole in the basement.
After throwing Xi Qiongdong's body inside, she took care of the traces left behind, and carried Xi Qiongwan out of the door, the crescent moon hanging above the courtyard, reflecting the once familiar home.
She spread out her right palm and rubbed her fingers, the residual human body residual warmth on it made her heart feel a little strange.
Is there a difference between killing chickens and killing people, she was a little unclear for a while, but there are still people who have to pay with their lives.
