Although the weather is in early autumn, the sun in Mississippi is as hot as ever. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The warm sunshine did not dispel the chill in everyone's hearts, and the group hugged each other and walked towards the pasture tremblingly, walking and walking, I don't know who said,

"Do you think last night's laughter misses Master Condon?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and after a while, someone said in disbelief,

"No way!"

"Yes, I also think it's impossible, the eldest young master likes to stay in the house to paint, and he doesn't go out at night, and he hasn't even been to a bar, how can he meet that kind of monster."

"That's it, how can it be the eldest young master."

"Yes, absolutely not."

……

Everyone, you and I, laughing like some irresponsible judges always like to handle cases lightly to avoid unnecessary mistakes, but at this moment, I don't know that the short-sighted suddenly muttered,

"But I feel like the eldest young master!"

The atmosphere became weirdly awkward again, you look at me and I look at you, they all saw the embarrassed hypocrisy in each other's eyes, and when the lie was exposed, all that was left was poor embarrassment,

"Perhaps, it's really the eldest young master!"

Someone muttered, his face was uneasy, and even a little panicked, everyone knew it very well in their hearts, but they all chose to avoid talking about it intentionally or unintentionally, not because of guilt, but because they didn't want to face the too bad future now.

The young master of Conton Plantation was killed by a giant wolf, and no one came to the rescue on the night of the attack.

Once this kind of terrible incident is exposed, not only will the reputation of the plantation be completely ruined, but the white hired workers who have signed the contract will not be able to escape the fate of eviction, and it will be difficult for them to find work elsewhere in the future, and no plantation owner will hire those cowards who choose to turn a blind eye when their owner is killed.

The only hope now is that the sad hapless guy is not Master Conton.

Da! Da! Da!

While everyone was whispering and worried about the future, a pair of patrolmen came up from behind, and Hank, the leader, lowered his head, didn't know what he was thinking, and forgot to light the pipe in his mouth.

"Hank, was it really the eldest young master last night?" Someone suddenly asked,

Hearing this, Hank stopped, glanced up at the white hired man on the side of the road, saw the familiar faces, thought about it, and said in a low tone,

"I went to see it just now, there was no one in the eldest young master's house, the door was kicked and broken, the furniture in the house was also destroyed, and there were two pools of blood at the scene.

……

Now it is basically certain that it was the eldest young master who was attacked by the giant wolf last night, as for you,

……

Do it for yourself! ”

Hank sighed, habitually stroked the pipe in his mouth, only to find that the pipe was still dry, a trace of hideousness appeared from his face, the old man who had always had a good temper suddenly became angry, picked up the pipe and slammed it on the ground, and stepped on it twice with hatred, seeing everyone look at each other, and the heart was terrified.

The oppressive atmosphere filled the air, and after the patrol left, finally someone couldn't bear the pressure and began to babble,

"I was bitten to death by a vampire demon the night before yesterday, and the giant wolf came last night, and it was the eldest young master who was attacked this time, is the Good Friday of Condon Manor coming?"

The sad words were all in their hearts and were silent, and at this moment, a burst of invective like a broken gong suddenly came from behind,

"Phew! What about Good Friday? Close your crow's mouth, you can't even see it, this is a natural disaster, it is clearly a man-made disaster, someone wants to kill the eldest young master. ”

The faces of the people who said this changed greatly, and they all turned to look at the old white man who was squeezed at the end, the old man was not tall, his face was wrinkled, and his eyes were purring, always giving people a sense of restlessness, he was a carpenter in the manor, known as the carpenter with the best craftsmanship, of course, this was only his self-style.

The old man hung a puff of dry smoke, and waited for everyone's eyes to converge before he spoke unhurriedly,

"I'll tell you a secret news, when the vampire came the night before, the eldest young master was also attacked, but he was lucky and avoided the catastrophe, but the furniture in the house was not so lucky,

You don't see it, good fellow,

The table and stool were all smashed into pieces by a strange force, and some had deep claw marks, and when Mrs. Debbie asked me to repair it yesterday morning, I was stunned for a long time before I came back to my senses and asked Mrs. Debbie, guess what she said? ”

The old man suddenly stopped, took a deep breath and said in the nervous and expectant gaze of everyone, "She didn't say anything?" ”

Hi! Everyone shook their heads, and after hanging their appetite for a long time, they got such an answer, this old man is still so hateful.

Seeing the appearance of everyone, the old man suddenly became angry, and scolded with hatred,

"A bunch of mallets, she didn't say anything, and she made me forget about it, you know what that means? This means that the eldest young master doesn't want people to know that he was attacked by a vampire that night. ”

"Why doesn't he want people to know, combined with the giant wolf incident last night and the previous horse crash, everything is still unclear? Just came back from school, less than five days ago, he suffered three murders in a row, saying that it was a natural disaster, and the fool didn't believe it? ”

"You mean, someone wants to get rid of Master Condon."

"Then you don't have to think about it, it must be." The old man said indignantly,

"But who wants to get rid of the eldest young master? He's usually quite kind, and he doesn't have any enemies, right? ”

Untimely questions always make the atmosphere awkward, and everyone turned their heads to hide the answers in their eyes, and even the most fierce carpenter old man wisely shut his mouth,

It's not that you can't say something, it's that you don't dare to say it.

The answer that was about to come out could only be hidden in his heart, and after a long time, he was a little uncomfortable, and even began to sympathize with the unfortunate victim, although the eldest young master had a somewhat weak character, but no matter what, he was a kind-hearted person, not only held a funeral for six poor fellows, but also prepared a pension for the orphans and widows who died of their husbands, which is what good people do.

The fact that a good person is not rewarded is a very unpleasant thing in itself, and gradually, as time passes, a feeling of incomprehension and even resentment appears, and quickly passes from person to person with eye contact.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the manor, Hank and his patrol finally reach the outskirts of the meadow and see the scene that had tormented him all night.
