Remember in a second [?? to provide you with wonderful reading.

The bachelor who took us in was surnamed Rao, a surname that is very rare in this village, because most of the people in the village have the surname Cao, which makes it more difficult for us to communicate.

I asked Lao Rao about the Cao family, and Lao Rao asked me instead: There are more than 30 households in the village, and 27 households are surnamed Cao, which Cao are you asking?

I can only describe it in detail: "The family where the daughter-in-law is particularly beautiful, two sons and one daughter. โ€

As soon as he heard this, Lao Rao's face changed.

"That's it...... As soon as you say that your daughter-in-law is beautiful, I will know. The daughter-in-law of that family is very beautiful, but it seems that many people have died by memorizing words...... The two sons and a girl seem to be gone......" Lao Rao said in a low voice.

As soon as I heard this, I was even more sure that I had asked the right person, and it seemed that Cao Fang was really dead. As for the deaths of her two older brothers, they were all witnessed by me, so naturally there is no need to ask.

"Did the daughter-in-law of the Cao family hang herself?" I asked worriedly, since it was certain that Cao Fang was really dead, then Su Su's death was most likely a lie. Although Chenxi and the big shopkeeper both explained that Su Su was not a "living person" before, I still hope that Su Su is a living person, not a female ghost.

However, Lao Rao's next sentence completely extinguished the hope in my heart: "Yes, my daughter-in-law died the earliest, and after the Chinese New Year this year, the family died one after another like a competition, and my daughter-in-law was the first to die, champion!" โ€

Lao Rao's speech is bad, very bad, anyway, it is not his family who died, so it doesn't matter. What's more, for an old bachelor like him, the death of someone else's daughter-in-law is even more of a pleasure.

Yet my heart felt like it was being immersed in ice water.

Su Su really died, hanged.

I glanced at the panda, and the panda would comfort people: "Yang Ye, you should have been prepared like this a long time ago." โ€

"Alas...... How did all the people in his family die, can you tell me no? I pulled myself together and asked.

Lao Rao nodded and said: "I just happen to know this, it is said that the eldest of his family is sick and can't give birth to children, Lao Cao is in a hurry to hold his grandson, so he asked the second child to try it with his sister-in-law...... Originally, the girl was bought, and she was already tortured and crazy, and now she is serving two men, who can stand it? Hanged himself within a few days......"

Although I know about this matter, I still don't feel good when I hear Lao Rao relay it again.

"What about his daughter?" I asked.

Lao Rao said: "Her daughter is even more funny, I heard that she brought back an object during the New Year, and the old Cao family is also crazy about money, and she asks for 700,000 dowries when she opens her mouth, and she thinks that her daughter is worth a lot of money?" The young man was smart, and he turned his face and left the next day. His daughter was quite self-righteous, thinking that she was like a fairy, wouldn't it be a shame? In addition, her eldest brother died of a daughter-in-law, and she was in a bad mood, and she said that this girl was useless, not only could she not even tie a man, but she also killed her sister-in-law...... The little girl estimated that she was thin-skinned, and she hanged herself a few days later, which is strange to say, exactly the same as her sister-in-law's death. โ€

This matter is actually not pleasant, Lao Rao said it like a needle prick in my ears.

It seems that Cao Fang's death was completely caused by their family, I always thought that it was because of my departure that Cao Fang committed suicide in shame, and it seems that I still think too much.

After asking about Cao Fang and Su Su, I didn't have any other doubts, Lao Rao was full of interest, and he wanted to tell me about the two sons of the Cao family again.

I knew very well how they died, so I didn't listen to them anymore.

Lao Rao has been babbling that the Cao family is really weird, after the Chinese New Year, it was like touching some mold, and the family almost died, and now Cao Fang and her father are almost unable to hold on because they have suffered too much blow......

The panda and I listened to it and thought it was too strange.

Death swept through the entire Cao family like a contagion, and there must be some reason. Could it really be that as Pixelone said, this sandalwood box was cursed, and getting the sandalwood box was doomed to pay a terrible price?

Neither Panda nor I have figured out the truth of this, if it is really a curse, then it is a bit too evil, right?

I discussed it with the panda, and finally decided that seeing is believing, and let Lao Rao take us to see Cao Fang and Su Su's graves tomorrow.

As soon as Lao Rao heard that the two of us were going to visit other people's graves, he sternly refused at that time, saying that it was taboo to take outsiders to other people's ancestral graves.

In desperation, I had to take out a hundred yuan, but Lao Rao was unmoved, and still stuck to his principles. I added another fifty, and Lao Rao immediately disarmed and surrendered, agreeing to our demand.

I slept with the panda hastily for the night, and the next morning, when no one had gone out, Lao Rao led us to the graveyard.

The cemetery of the Cao family is not far away, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk.

Because there are too many people who have died in the Cao family recently, the cemetery of the Cao family has just undergone large-scale repairs, and everything is brand new.

The outermost two large tombs can be seen to be Cao Rong and Cao Ying's, and there is a small tomb next to Cao Rong, which should be "Susu".

Cao Fang's grave was in the distance, next to the ancestral grave, but he did not enter the ancestral grave, this is the rule. In feudal society, women from families were not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, and this ignorant tradition was obviously still followed here.

Panda and I stood in the graveyard, looked at the grave of the two women, looked at each other, and made a decision very tacitly.

Because of the recent earthmoving, there are still a few shovels in the ancestral grave of the Cao family that have not yet been taken away, so the panda and I dug up on the grave bags of Su Su and Cao Fang without saying a word.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses, that's what the two of us think.

Lao Rao went crazy when he saw it, and said anxiously: "What are you doing here?" Digging people's ancestral graves, this is to be retributed, the sky is thundering! โ€

I saw that he was crying and shouting, as if he was ready to expose us at any time, so I couldn't help but take out a hundred yuan, and Lao Rao went to guard us without saying a word, and I didn't care about any retribution.

The women's graves were not piled up very much, because they wanted to show their inferior status to the men, so we quickly dug up the mounds. Lao Rao told us that this side is very poor, there is not even a coffin, and ordinary people are buried when they die, put them in sacks, sprinkle lime, and bury them.

After digging up the grave, Panda and I did see two sacks, but the contents of these two sacks were pitiful, either two people were incinerated, or there were no human corpses inside.

After all, the panda was fierce, and pulled out the sack to look at it, but he didn't expect to smile when he looked at it.

"Yang Ye, come and see, it's a fake here."

I leaned over to take a look, and I was amused. There are indeed "people" in the sack, but they are scarecrows in the fields, and the ground in the south is damp, and the scarecrows rot within a few days of being buried in them, so they are small all of a sudden.

There are no bodies in either Su Su's grave or Cao Fang's grave, and they are empty graves.

Lao Rao also came over at this time, and the old guy was frightened when he saw this scene.

He kept muttering whether the two women borrowed the "straw escape" and turned into goblins and ran away. I wonder if he's watched too much of the Romance of the Gods.

When I learned that Su Su and Cao Fang's bodies were not here, I was actually inexplicably relieved, which shows that Cao Fang and Su Su we saw may not be female ghosts, they may not be dead, and "death" is just an illusion seen by others.

However, Lao Rao suddenly said something that made me nervous again:

"Alas, Yulian and Ah Fang are both beauties, and it's actually a good thing if they don't die......"

Ah Fang, I know it's Cao Fang, but who is this "Yulian"?

"Lao Rao, who is Yulian?" I looked at Lao Rao in shock and asked, and the panda hurriedly stepped forward.

"Yulian, the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, and the sister-in-law of Ah Fang!" Lao Rao looked at me and said, "Don't you even know Yulian's name?" โ€

"What Yulian, isn't it Susu? Qin Susu? I asked, horrified.

"What Qin Susu, the name is Qi Yulian, the name is good, when I bought the door, no, it spread when I married the door, we have never heard such a nice name in the village." Lao Rao said conclusively.

The panda and I were dumbfounded, and the panda whispered, "Could Qi Yulian be the fake name that Su Su used after being abducted and trafficked?" โ€

I nodded and said, "It's also possible, but I always feel that Su Su is not the same person as the sister-in-law I saw in the village, the personalities of these two people are very different, the sister-in-law is a shy and shy character, but Su Su is too unrestrained." โ€

"Didn't she say that her personality had changed completely because of this incident?" Panda asked.

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change...... Where is the personality so easy to change. I said with a wry smile.

After this incident, the panda and I fell into a new mystery again, and after leaving the ancestral grave of the Cao family, the panda and I quietly slipped past Cao Fang's house.

On the way, the two of us asked a few villagers, and their statements were the same as Lao Rao's, the Cao family's particularly beautiful daughter-in-law was named Qi Yulian, and her personality was also very shy, and she would blush when she talked to others.

Qin Susu, Qi Yulian...... Could it be that these two people are not the same person at all, but simply look alike?

No, if that's the case, then how did Su Su know that I saved Qi Yulian? Why did she come to me to repay her kindness?

And if Su Su and Cao Fang are not female ghosts, how can Cao Fang kill those people? How could Su Su scare ten old men to death in one night?

I thought I would be able to find the truth when I came here, but I didn't expect to get more and more confused.

After a while, the panda and I had arrived outside Cao Fang's house, where a black and white banner hung on the door of the house, sad and solemn.

I didn't dare to go in, I just stood outside and looked at it from a distance, but at this glance, I suddenly felt that the Cao family's house was very strange, and there seemed to be an aura of death coming to my face!
