"Who are they? I also want to know that over the years, I have been secretly investigating, but I have only found out the identities of two people. Mrs. Lu pulled out a piece of paper with the names of two people written on it. One is Dr. Lu, and the other is Cui Guangfu, a name that Bai Li has never heard of.

"Doctor Lu, I know, who is this Cui Guangfu?" Bai Li pointed at the name with her index finger.

"It's the old man I saw on the night my husband was killed, he was the master next to the county magistrate." Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is something I don't know if I should say or not." This Master Cui seems to be related to the murder of the two county magistrates before, and the murder of those two adults is related to something hidden in the mountains. They went into the mountains to look for something like that, but they got lost in the mountains, and they came to my house when the snow covered the mountain. As for my husband's murder, it was because he saw that the other party had a lot of things and enthusiastically wanted to help them sort them out, but he accidentally touched something that he shouldn't have touched and was killed by those people. ”

"And they just let you go like that?" Bai Li asked, thinking that those who kill people without blinking can kill Mrs. Lu's husband, and they will not let her go easily. But the fact is that she is alive and well now, and she avenged her husband and killed Dr. Lu.

"Naturally, they won't let me go easily." Mrs. Lu sighed, "I remember very clearly, the knife across my neck was cold, and the blade was still stained with my husband's blood. I took a look at the man, who had a mole in his ear. He was going to kill me, and that Cui Guangfu was also going to kill me, but he knelt on the ground and begged Cui Guangfu not to make mistakes again and again, and not to hurt the life of an innocent person again. ”

"That Cui Guangfu listened?"

"Naturally, no." Mrs. Lu shook her head lightly: "His eyes don't look like a kind person, how could he let me go because of Lu's request." However, it seems that only Lu can cure his illness, or rather, to help him continue his life as much as possible. In addition, he seems to have a handle in Lu's hands, and he was coerced by Lu to agree to let me go."

"Then he didn't look for you later?"

"I found it." Mrs. Lu pursed her dry lips: "It was the first night back in Huaxi Town, and he came to Lu and asked Lu to kill me, saying that he would not have too many dreams at night." Lu said that I was a woman from a mountain village, and I didn't know how to read at all, as long as my throat was poisoned and dumb, even if I wanted to say what they did, I wouldn't have a mouth. In front of him, Lu fed me a pill, which I was going to refuse, and even begged for death. But Lu said, let me do my best to save my life, because I already have my husband's child in my womb. Only when people live can there be hope. He also said that I can hate him and seek revenge on him, but only if I live first. ”

"But your throat—"

"I've only been dumb for more than half a year, and that medicine was prepared by Lu himself." Mrs. Lu touched her throat: "Half a year later, their own people had infighting, and I heard Lu say that the person who killed my husband and wanted to kill me at the beginning died, and even their leader Cui Guangfu was gone, and it was estimated that he should be dead." It was at that time that he chose this place and asked someone to build the current house here. ”

"And your child?"

"Stillborn, born dead, I don't know if it's because I took dumb medicine, or if Lu put something else in my daily diet. After the birth of the child, I was desperate for death, and Lu lied to me that he had a way to resurrect the child. He found someone and said that it was a mage from Miaojiang who raised my son by raising devils. But the mage failed, and my son became what he is now. He was so young, and had suffered so many sins, that I could not bear to bury him in the ground, and I hid him in the house. ”

Mrs. Lu looked at her room: "When you two enter the house, you should be able to see the wardrobe at the head of my bed." Actually, it was not a house of clothes, but a little house I had set up for my son, and he usually slept in it, and he was with me day and night. I thought that life would go on like this, but Lu suddenly went crazy and insisted that I bury the child, saying that he would be buried in peace. We argued, I forced each other to die, he went away in anger, and later, my girl found out about the existence of the child. She was too young to be frightened, and I was afraid that she would tell her about it, so I hid the child back in the jar and buried it under the bed. ”

Mrs. Lu got up, returned to the room, and took out the baby's bones: "People say that there are ghosts in this world, but I have begged God to worship the Buddha, and I have begged for so long, and I have worshiped for so long, but I have never seen my child." I'm not afraid that he will become a ghost, even if he becomes the most terrible ghost in the world. I just want to see him, I just want to hear him call me mother. ”

"Mrs. Lou—"

"I'm fine, I'm actually a person who should have died a long time ago, and I should have died the night my husband was killed. But I was afraid, I was cowardly, I was afraid of death, so I endured humiliation and lived until now. My son is gone, and I am committed to my husband-killing enemy, even if it is death, I don't know what face to use to face my husband underground. I can't live well, I can't die, I'm like a walking corpse living in this world. ”

"It's been so long, why did you kill Dr. Lu? Is it because of this child? ”

"It's not!" Mrs. Lu shook her head slightly: "It's because those people, those who have disappeared for a long time, suddenly contacted him." He wanted to take me away, but I wouldn't. I have long looked down on life and death, and if someone kills me now, I will even be grateful to him. In the middle of the tugging, he knocked off my orchid. The orchid I brought out of the mountains was the only thought my husband left me. My mind was blank and I didn't know what I had done, and by the time I woke up, Lou was already on the ground. I know that I killed him, and I killed him. I sat in the room for a long time, and then, after cleaning the room, I dragged Lu out of here, put him in a carriage, and transported it back to Huaxi Town at night. ”

"Dr. Lu has a family, you know?"

"I know, but what does that have to do with me? I am neither his wife, nor his concubine, I am just a prisoner who is kept here by him. I never thought of him as my man, nor did he see me as his woman, and my relationship with him has always been strange. Mrs. Lu smiled bitterly: "Can you give me a little time?" I want my child to be buried in the ground. ”

Mrs. Lu was lying in the backyard with the child in her arms, and next to her, there was a jar of persimmon vinegar, in which highly toxic arsenic was found. She walked quietly, as if she had fallen asleep with her child in her arms.

When sending the ashes of Mrs. Lu and the child back to the mountain, Bai Li saw a large persimmon tree. The tree grew in the yard of Mrs. Lu's house, and there was a rope tied to the tree, and some clothes that had not been collected for many years were hung on the rope. Those clothes belonged to her husband, Jun Han Orion.

In her kitchen, Bai Li also found some persimmon vinegar. Those persimmon vinegars are all contained in jars, and simple little people are drawn with pens on them, a man and a woman, leaning together, like a loving couple.
