Chapter 23: The Haunted Courtyard (2)

That year, Liu Dahai was 14 years old, he grew taller than the children in the alley since he was a child, and when he was 12 years old, his father drank too much wine and came home and beat his mother to get angry, Liu Dahai was already much taller and stronger than children of the same age at that time, he bravely rushed up and fought with Liu San, since then, Liu San did not dare to beat his wife casually, but the nature of lust and greed has not changed.

That night, he drank again and scolded his wife and children at home. Liu Dahai was in a hurry, and rushed up with a stick to beat him, Liu San was so frightened that he ran away, he wanted to go to Widow Qu's house to find comfort. The door of the Qu family was closed, and he entered with a light push. Liu Dahai was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that this little baby was still heartfelt, and the big night was left for me to keep the door, unlike the mother and son at home, something, not filial piety and not virtuous, I bah.

He entered the courtyard, went straight to the room, pushed open the door and a strange smell came to his face, Liu San was drunk, and shouted in his mouth: "Sister, my brother is here, it's raining really hard outside, come and warm my brother." ”

There was no sound, Liu San touched into the back room, at this moment there was a sudden lightning outside, the house was instantly as bright as day, Liu San looked at the bed, frightened and fell to the ground, Qu Widow lay on her back on the bed, her head hung down, the wall next to the wooden bed was splashed with blood everywhere, the lightning illuminated everything, Liu San saw Qu Widow lying upside down with her head hanging down with blood and flesh blurred, one eye hanging outside, staring at him coldly. Liu San crawled out of the small courtyard with a rolling belt, and his voice was terrible: "Dead man, dead man." ”

Liu Dahai was the second person to rush into the small courtyard. His house and Qu's family are diagonally opposite the door, he heard Liu San's voice and rushed out of the door, and saw his father standing at the door of Qu's house, crying and laughing, after the lightning, the rain became heavy, Liu Dahai tore Liu San away, and when he entered the house, he saw the scene inside and laughed: "It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead, it's clean, it's all clean." ”

The father and son, standing in the alley, were drenched in the rain, one laughing and the other crying, so frightened that the neighbors who poked their heads out to see trembled.

"The old thing has been sick ever since. I had a nightmare, saying that the widow was calling her, and this winter the people were gone, retribution. ”

After Liu Dahai finished speaking, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that he was very satisfied with the death of Widow Qu and did not hide his emotions.

"And what's the deal with the haunting?" Ye Quan noticed that when Liu Dahai was talking, his mother kept hanging her head and didn't move, as if she had returned to that night fourteen years ago.

"When it thunders and rains, you can see for yourself, you can't tell for a while. The people who lived in it said that it was haunted on a rainy day, and no one dared to live there. Liu Dahai said.

"Don't come, ghost catcher." The old woman suddenly raised her head, and her mouth pursed as if muttering to herself.

"Old lady, have you ever seen that little courtyard haunted?" Ye Limit asked.

"Ghosts catch people, catch people. Don't look, go, you all go, ghosts catch people. ”

The old woman's eye sockets were deep-set, her eyes were dry, and her face was densely wrinkled, according to Liu Dahai's age, she was at most sixty years old, but she looked like she was seventy or eighty.

Xiao Wu and Ye Liang walked into the small courtyard of the Qu family, the yard was very desolate, the weeds grew tall in the cracks of the stone slabs on the floor, and there was a lot of grass on the roof tiles. The door lock was difficult for Xiao Wu, he took out a wire from his pocket, and the lock was opened after a few clicks in the keyhole.

The door creaked open, the axle was heavy, and the sound of no one oiling the door for so many years was loud.

There is a damp smell of mildew, and it is inevitable that the musty smell will be heavy in the house that has not been lived in for many years and catch up with this rainy and sultry July.

The room was littered with broken tables and chairs, and when I walked into the back room, there was a blackened mark on one wall, which was supposed to have a large bed that had been removed. It seems that the relatives of the widow Qu were too frightened by the haunting to live here, and took everything of value with them when they left.

Xiao Wu smiled: "I'm not afraid of the bad luck of this widow's house." ”

Ye Liang looked around and sighed in a low voice: "This house is very clean, there are no wandering spirits and wild ghosts, I really don't know what it is, it is haunted." ”

"Perhaps there are buried treasures of gold and silver." Xiao Wu said deliberately.

Ye Liang laughed: "Xiao Wu, I found that you are getting worse and worse, if you want to solve the case, I love money, we will each take what we need, what do you have to be angry about." ”

"I don't want to be fooled."

"I'm going to tell you, you know you don't get it, isn't that more infuriating? In order not to make you sad and upset, and to maintain your pure heart, I did this, everything is for your sake. Ye Quan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, Xiao Wu couldn't help grinning when he listened: "Admire, admire, I really admire you for saying this." ”

Ye Liang didn't care about him, walked to the original bed, and stared at the wall.

Xiao Wu wanted to taunt a few more words, but seeing that Ye Liang didn't say anything at all, he lost interest, walked behind her and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"This wall seems to be a little different."

"What's the difference?"

"Aura." Ye Liang turned around, smiled, turned around and left.

"Hey, you wait, what kind of aura can the wall have, make it clear." Xiao Wu followed.

Ye Liang ignored him and walked to the door, and saw Liu Dahai standing in the alley, looking here.

"Liu Dahai, you were the second to rush in back then, and you saw the murder weapon when you went in, such as a bloody stick, or bloody sugar cane or something, is there bagasse on the ground?"

"Sugar cane?" Liu Dahai was a little dazed, "Miss, what does this mean?" Oh, you said the woman was beaten to death with a stick, right? No, I didn't see it, the woman was lying on the bed, one wall was covered in blood, and her head was beaten to pieces, it was really ...... Hahaha, it's so relieving. ”

They were talking in the alley, and someone poked their heads out to look at them.

"Hey, how did you open this haunted yard and scare people?"

"It's too long, this yard is haunted." The neighbors seemed to have a lot of grudges against the yard.

"What the hell is a haunting?" Xiao Wu continued, "I'm a police officer. ”

"The police also take care of ghosts?"

A man with a sharp beak asked.

"It's not to catch ghosts, it's to investigate the case of the murder of Widow Qu back then?"

"Huh? Do you still have to take care of the case more than ten years ago? The man glanced at Liu Dahai, "Just ask the sea about this, he knows better than anyone else." ”

Liu Dahai was furious: "What do you mean when I say Zhang is blind?" What I know clearly. ”

Ye Quan thought to himself that this person's name was Zhang Blind, but he was not blind when he looked at his eyes.

I only heard the man say: "Hey, I mean it wasn't your father who first found out that Widow Qu was killed, and then you also went in, what was the scene at that time, your father and son understood it better than anyone else, haha, what are you anxious about." Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, the Qu family has been haunted for so many years, you see, I have never been afraid, what am I afraid of? I didn't do it, it's only those who kill people who are afraid, and too many teenagers are afraid. ”
