Hong Ban took off the clothes on his daughter's corpse and checked it carefully, after a few months, the corpse had rotted out of shape, and Hong Ban endured the smell of the corpse and rummaged for a long time, but he didn't find anything suspicious. Suddenly, he saw that his daughter's two rows of white teeth were clenched tightly, as if there was something in her mouth, and several of the two rows of teeth were missing.

My daughter has not yet reached the age of changing her teeth, her teeth are very even, and her teeth will not rot for hundreds of years after death, and it is impossible for a few months of hard work to make the teeth fall out of the gums, unless it is a hard prying. Hong Ban vigorously broke the jaw of his daughter's skull, and there was really something in his mouth, and he took it out and looked at it carefully, it seemed to be a piece of rotten meat. Because it's so rotten that I can't tell the difference.

Hongban took off his clothes, wrapped his daughter's body, walked a long way and buried it under a tree again, and made a hidden mark, and then returned home.

Pushed open the courtyard door to the backyard, walked to Mandan's house, the wooden door was closed, and he gently pushed it with his hand, locking it from the inside. He tried to push the window again, but it was not latched, it was empty, and there was no sign of Mandan. Hong Ban came to the toilet in the courtyard, whispered a few words and no one responded, and he didn't see Mandan when he went in, it seemed that she was not at home.

Just when Hong Ban didn't know what to do, he seemed to hear footsteps from outside from a distance through the courtyard wall. He had been practicing the Fa for many years, and his ear was particularly good, and he looked out at a small hole in the wall, and saw a figure hurriedly walking in the direction of Hong's house from the direction of the back mountain, it was Mandan.

Hongban wanted to know what she was doing, so he went into the house and stepped on the wall tiles to open the pull board of the attic, which used to be used to stack non-perishable foods such as dried bamboo shoots and bacon, only more than half a meter high, and had not been used for a long time, and Mandan did not know this place. Hongban burrowed into the attic and crawled to the edge of the gable, where there was a small gap that allowed a clear view of the house and even the front and back yards.

Mandan pushed open the courtyard door with a very light movement, and after entering the courtyard, he first tiptoed to the door of the toilet and peeked in, and then came out to stick to the outer walls of the rooms where Hong Ban lived, and looked in through the cracks in the windows. He went back to his house in the backyard to take a few looks, and finally returned to the door of Hong Ban's house and pushed the door in. She searched back and forth in three rooms, but found nothing, stood in the room for a few minutes, then opened the window and looked around, and said, "No need to hide, come out." ”

Hong Ban's heart moved, but he remained silent, trying his best to hold his breath. Mandan smiled: "I thought it was unnecessary to worry, but I didn't expect you to be able to find your daughter's body, it's really amazing." Hong Ban's eyes suddenly widened wider than a cow.

"Do you want to know why I killed your wife and daughter?" Mandan asked. Hong Ban's body was trembling slightly, but he felt that Mandan was cheating on him. She probably suspected that there was some secret passage in the house, so she said this.

Mandan said, "Your daughter is also so powerful, she bites my arm and bites off a piece of flesh, so that I dare not show my arm on such a hot day." Hong Ban's heart was beating wildly, and he understood why Mandan, who usually likes to wear short-sleeved Miao shirts the most, has been wearing long-sleeved shirts recently. Her explanation was that she had consumed too much mana, coupled with her recent fatigue, and her body was weak and afraid of cold.

"In order to open her mouth, I used an iron nail to pry off a few of her teeth, and they didn't open, your daughter really can." Mandan smiled, "Actually, I don't want to do this, but if I don't kill her, I'm ...... I'll just ...... Alas, what a pity, when I strangled her, her eyes were about to bulge out, and she begged me to ......" Mandan's voice became lower and lower, as if there was some accident. But Hong Ban could see clearly from the gap that Mandan was sitting on the edge of the bed, still stilting Erlang's legs, and his demeanor was calm.

Obviously, Mandan is pretending, just to lure out Hongban, who doesn't know where to hide. He was so angry that he wanted to scream, scare Mandan half to death, and then jump out and strangle her alive.

But he didn't, and in this regard, Mandan underestimated Hung Ban.

She doesn't know Hong Ban's character, Hong Ban has been taciturn since he was a child, which is natural. Since Hong Xia's death, the blow to Hong Ban has been great, he has become more silent, he likes to hide everything in his heart, coupled with years of practicing witchcraft, his city is much stronger than the vast majority of people, and he can really achieve the level of "Mount Tai collapses in front and does not change". If the top 10 men in China are selected to be the most calm, it is estimated that Hong Ban will make it to the quarterfinals.

Therefore, although Hong Ban was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, he did not go out because of impulse. Because he knew Mandan's thoughts very well, the reason why this woman said these words in the house was to test whether Hong Ban was hiding. If it is, it will definitely be a motivating thing, and if it is not, it doesn't matter, no one will hear it anyway.

But she underestimated Hong Ban, and Hong Ban had a clear mind. He is a man, Mandan is a woman, if he jumps out, Mandan will definitely not be able to escape, but why does she still have to take such a risk? There must be something strange in it, so Hong Ban suppressed his anger and didn't move.

Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Mandan snorted and slowly walked out of the house, and Hongban saw her walking out of the courtyard gate and disappearing in the darkness.

Hong Ban knew that this cunning woman must have some secrets that he didn't know, so he had no fear. He was afraid that Mandan would hide in the dark to lure the snake out of the hole and kill the horse pistol, so he hid in the attic for several hours. The place was like a steamer, Hong Ban gritted his teeth, thinking that he had to endure it, otherwise his wife and daughter would die in vain. It wasn't until dawn that Hong Ban was sure that Mandan had left the village, and he went out of the attic.

Since then, Mandan has never returned.

Hong Ban guessed that of course Mandan did not dare to come back, and found that the body of Hong Ban's daughter had been dug up in the mountains, and he knew that Hong Ban did it. She hurriedly came back, hoping to get home before Hong Ban, but found that Hong was empty, Mandan felt that she had taken the lead, Hong Ban must still be in the mountains and did not come out, so she hurriedly slipped away. If he was a few steps late, and Hongban learned that he was still in the village, he shouted a few times, and the villagers ran out, and he couldn't escape. As for why Mandan was afraid of the villagers, but not afraid of Hongban hiding in the house, he did not know.

Hung Ban did not tell the villagers about his wife and daughter, but only said that Mandan had completed his studies and had returned to his hometown in Myanmar, and he had become distrustful of anyone. In the barren mountain, he buried his wife and daughter not far from Hong Xia's grave, but did not leave a grave bag, for fear of being discovered by Mandan. He didn't know why he was afraid, he just didn't want her to know, although it was possible that the woman would never come back here in her life.

He began to secretly inquire about Mandan's whereabouts, and the name and family could be fake, so Hongban could not use the words Mandan, Myitkyina, and Mengyang as the keywords to look for. No one in the dozen or so villages near her home knew her, so Hong Ban found a master of portraits in Dali and drew Mandan's head according to the description, until he thought it was exactly the same as Mandan himself.

He ordered a lot of clothes and T-shirts with Mandan's head on the chest and back of the garment factory, accompanied by the text "If you have seen this woman, please tell me". From Tengchong to Baoshan, from Liuku to Luxi and Lincang, Hong Ban traveled around, in fact, this method is a double-edged sword, in case Mandan himself finds Hong Ban, or she learns that Hong Ban is looking for her first, but Hong Ban is in trouble. But at that time, the Internet had not yet risen in China, and there were no mobile phones and apps, so Hongban had no choice but to adopt this risky method. And if Mandan had returned to Myanmar, then all that he had done would be useless.

During this time, Hong Ban felt that he seemed to be greedy, he always wanted to eat meat, and it had to be fat, any pork belly, fat chicken, preferably the kind that flowed oil, and this was one of the most hated foods by Hong Ban before. Hong Ban was very strange, thinking that it was caused by too much fatigue recently, and he didn't think much about it.

That night, Hong Ban spent the night in a hotel in the old town, where it was raining heavily, mixed with the rumbling thunder in the distance. Hong Ban sat in front of the window, looking through the glass at the corner of the sky that was lit by lightning from time to time in the distance, remembering that his originally happy and ordinary life was ruined in the hands of that woman named Mandan, and now he didn't know why she did it, Hong Ban felt irritable, and the sound of muffled thunder sounded to him like a question from his wife and daughter, blaming himself for being so stupid and useless.
