Chapter 20: The Storm Rises Again
After two days of calm, there was another accident on the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, on October 12.
Ah Tong is a child with a father but no mother, his father is lazy, drinks and gambles all day long, brags everywhere, rarely disciplines him, and beats him up when he is in a bad mood. So Ah Tong was very rebellious, and he joined the Butterfly Gang after barely finishing elementary school, and because of his fierce body, he dared to fight and kill and became the backbone of the Butterfly Gang in his village.
Ah Tong was beaten by me that day, and his father knew that he was wrong, so he didn't dare to come to my house to make noise, and scolded his son angrily. Ah Tong suffered from skin trauma, it looks like there is no big problem with a blue nose and swollen face, rub some beeswax, and after five or six days, the swelling has basically subsided. He was fine last night, but this morning he was found dead in his bed, and soon rumors spread that he had died from a "recurrence of an old injury".
Ah Tong's relatives came to my house in a rage, saying that it was my responsibility, and I had to go and see it. When I arrived, the house was full of people, Wu Zhangya and Lao Fan were examining the body, and they had already called the police, but the police did not arrive so quickly.
I saw Ah Tong's corpse, with wide eyes, a slightly open mouth, a look of horror and despair, and a little blue and black skin, a little swollen. I don't know if he has been dead for too long and changed color, or if he was poisoned, I really have no experience with this, to be honest, I didn't dare to take a closer look, and there are already two people checking it, Lao Fan and Wu Zhangya.
Lao Fan is still a relatively honest person, one is one and two is two, and the result of the examination is poisoning, and he doesn't know what kind of poison it belongs to. Wu Zhangya said with certainty that she had been poisoned by the snake, but she couldn't find a wound all over her body. Fortunately, both of them concluded that they were poisoned, so the suspicion that I killed someone was automatically eliminated, but Ah Tong's relatives still didn't let me go, and I had to wait for someone from the Public Security Bureau to come.
Soon after, two police cars came, a total of five policemen, and after asking me what had happened, three policemen interrogated me in a room alone, repeatedly asking me about the fight that day, where I was and what I had done all day yesterday.
It was my first intimate encounter with my police uncle, and although it wasn't an interrogation room, it still made me a little nervous, but I wasn't afraid because I had no possibility or motive for poisoning. Ah Tong tried to steal my chicken, I have already beaten him, is it necessary to poison him? And I've never been to Atong's house, so there's no possibility of poisoning. Besides, the sequelae of the fight are also impossible, it has been six days, and no injury will take so long to attack.
The police only questioned me, did not say a conclusion, and their attitude towards me was not too bad. Later, Ah Tong's relatives, my mother, and my master were questioned separately, and the police said that the preliminary conclusion was poisoning, and the body and some extracts were taken away, and the cause of death would be finally determined after forensic testing. I'm still a little suspicious, and I'm not allowed to leave the village for the next few days.
My mind had been a little groggy all the time, but when I returned home and saw Master's meaningful eyes, I suddenly understood, and I couldn't help but gasp. Ah Tong was poisoned by a snake, and his face was extremely frightened, so the snake demon that killed him must be the snake demon I once sensed!
It is unlikely that Ah Tong angered the snake demon, and it is impossible for that snake demon to kill Ah Tong for no reason, so there is only one possibility - Sheng Yupo killed Ah Tong through the monster in order to blame me! No one with a little sense would do such a crazy and vicious thing, and people with a little common sense know that this can't hurt me, but the old witch has lost her heart, and she is not much different from a madman, where is there reason and common sense at all?
I was extremely angry, although Lu Chengshan hurt me badly, I didn't hate him so much, for the first time, I hated someone to the point of wanting to strangle her alive. If I knew how to hurt people, I would definitely be tempted to let her try it, but unfortunately I didn't learn it. I had no evidence, I couldn't report her to the police, and I couldn't rush to her house and say that she did it, which made me even more depressed and irritable.
Master pressed my shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't be impulsive, if she really dares to do this, Wang Fa and Ren Ren will spare her, and Heaven will not let her go!" ”
"Heavenly Dao? Where is the Heavenly Dao? I was furious, "I have listened to my elders and teachers since I was a child, I have been a good person, and I have never done anything that is intolerable to heaven, but Lu Chengshan has caused me so badly; I just beat a few thieves, but I was framed like this, and now I have all made a fuss, is God blind? ”
The master was silent for a long time before he said, "You are a scholar, you should know the idiom of closing the coffin, and it is too early to say. Moreover, the heavens will descend on the people, and they will suffer their will......"
I was depressed and shook off his hand, this kind of talk can only be used to deceive children, I am an adult.
Master was not angry either, he was smoking sullenly, and it happened that my mother came in, and we didn't talk about it again.
It didn't take long for a group of people to rush in outside the door, all armed with knives and sticks, murderous, led by Fan Qiang. I hurriedly picked up the stick next to me, which had been truncated to only 1.5 meters, and greeted them, yelling: "What do you want to do? ”
Now the people in the village know that I can fight, and I worship Lao Lin as the second master, so all the ruffians slowed down a little hesitantly when I yelled. Fan Qiang's left arm was still hanging, and he didn't dare to rush forward alone, so he pointed at me with a machete and shouted: "Kill him and avenge Ah Tong!" ”
"Wait, I have something to say!" I yelled again and let it go, "Ah Tong was killed by your mother, there is a kind of killing your mother!" ”
Fan Qiang said angrily: "Fart, obviously you were beaten to death!" ”
I immediately said: "The public security bureau has decided the case, he was poisoned to death, your mother asked the evil god to kill him, and wants to frame me, if you don't believe it, go ask your mother now!" ”
Fan Qiang was stunned for a moment, it seemed that he didn't know about this matter, but he knew that his mother had the ability to harm others, so it was easier for him to believe in this matter than others. The other ruffians looked at it inexplicably, and Zuihou's eyes stopped at Fan Qiang's body.
I sneered: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, I dare to swear to the sky that I didn't kill it, you dare to swear to the sky that it wasn't your mother who killed it?" ”
In front of all the "brothers", Fan Qiang didn't dare not be tough with me to the end, and said with a blue face: "You swear!" ”
I immediately raised my hand to the sky: "The gods and Buddhas of the heavens testify, if I kill Ah Tong, I will vomit blood and die within three days!" ”
This poisonous oath is very weighty, Fan Qiang's face is even more ugly, they don't talk about morality, ignore the law, but they attach great importance to the word "righteousness", and they also attach great importance to the oath, and my composure and righteous indignation also made him waver. But in this way, his mother has become a suspected murderer, which is equivalent to his death, what face does he use to meet his brothers?
Fan Qiang couldn't get off the field, gritted his teeth, put the blade on the back of his left hand and pulled it, and immediately bled like an infusion. He said loudly: "I swear by blood, no matter who kills Ah Tong, I will definitely release his blood!" ”
I sneered again: "Everyone has heard it, it's all proof!" ”
Fan Qiang was very unconvinced when he walked to the door, and turned around and slashed at the door: "I will definitely find out, if you did it, I will kill your family, as well as your uncle's family!" ”
My mother and master were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak, and they didn't hurry to close the front and back doors until everyone was gone. I also wiped a cold sweat, if it weren't for Fan Qiang's suspicion of his mother, it would inevitably be seven steps of blood splattered today.
It took a while for the master to settle down and give me a thumbs up: "You are stronger than your second master, and you will not rely on the courage of blood and qi alone, not only successfully resolved a crisis, but also separated their mother and son......"
I didn't feel good and said: "Master, you are too weak and too tolerant, so people have bullied us again and again, and if it were me, I would have killed that old witch with a spell!" ”
Master sneered, and then took my arm: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk, those monsters shouldn't be able to transform yet, they must be hiding in a dark place, there will always be some traces to be found in and out, as long as you find them, it is possible to kill them." ”
I don't believe it, if it's so easy, why don't you do it sooner?
Master explained to me, "I didn't know what type of evil things they belonged to, but there were a few of them, so I didn't know what to do with them, and I didn't dare to act rashly. Now that you know their body, it's easy to deal with, most of the spirits can only use their spirit to confuse people and control people before they can't transform into shapes, and the body is not terrible. Besides, now that there are firearms, if you find their nests, you can ask the police to shoot them indiscriminately. ”
Khan, Master used me as a mine detector......
It's rare for Master to be proactive, so of course I'll accompany him to find the monster trail. We started looking near Ah Tong's house, but unfortunately we didn't find any obvious traces, too many people came and went, and the traces had already been stepped on. Then we expanded our scope and searched for dilapidated houses that no one lived in.
There are many hundred-year-old houses like the one where my master lives in the back of the village, and young people have gone to the roadside outside the village to build new houses or go to the towns and villages to live, some of the old houses have not been inhabited for many years, and some are only inhabited by one or two dying old people, and this kind of old house is the most likely to breed evil things. There are a few places where I feel very gloomy, there may be some unclean things, but there are no traces of the giant snake's activity, as for the evil thing that possesses the body of Sheng Yupo, my master thinks it is a weasel, this thing is not big and cunning, it is really not easy to find.
If the fox spirit in my body can wake up and help me, I will be equal to having fiery eyes, and the little monster has nothing to hide, but unfortunately I can't wake it up, my sensing ability is like Duan Yu in "Dragon Babu", and the more I want to control it, the more it doesn't appear. Master didn't dare to take the risk of waking up the demon fox, although according to his guess, the demon fox would not harm me, but the conjecture is conjecture, and it would be miserable if he made me into a vegetative person again.
After looking for a long time and getting no results, I learned from a relative that Fan Qiang and Sheng Yupo had a big quarrel, and the content of the quarrel was not very clear to outsiders. There is no doubt that Fan Qiang went to question the old witch, but of course the old witch refused to admit it, so they quarreled. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least in the short term, Fan Qiang would not bring anyone to trouble me again, so that I could have the energy to find out the nest of the evil thing.
I have a very unpleasant hunch, there are three statues of gods in the crested hall, there are exactly three thousand-year-old camphor trees, and there are exactly three evil things, is this a coincidence, or is there an inevitable connection? This is a big problem, I don't dare to act on the statue or the big camphor tree, otherwise it will cause public outrage, and before the evil things harm me, I will be burned by the villagers on the fire.
