Chapter 10: Death
Seeing that Granny Mu was able to speak, Jiang Ji was full of joy: "Mother-in-law, I'm here." ”
"I'm dying. ”
The old man's voice revealed exhaustion, and when Granny Mu saw that Jiang Ji was about to speak, she immediately said, "You listen to me, my own body, I can feel it myself."
Mother-in-law knows that you are a good child of filial piety, and promised your mother-in-law, don't go to revenge, I am already old, even if I don't have this thing, I won't live for a few years, and my mother-in-law hopes that you can live safely.
Also, under my bed, at the foot of the bed near the corner, there is a jar, which contains the money I have saved over the years for you to marry your daughter-in-law, and my biggest regret is that I didn't see you marry your daughter-in-law.
Ahem......"
"Mother-in-law, you'll be fine. ”
Jiang Ji kept sending internal force into Granny Mu's body.
A strange ruddy color appeared on Granny Mu's face full of wrinkles and age spots, her cloudy eyes seemed to brighten, and she looked at Jiang Ji kindly: "People, sooner or later, there will be death, but sooner or later, Xiaoji, don't be sad for me."
Back then, I worked as a maid for a large family, and I didn't know anyone, so I eloped with a man.
As a result, the money was cheated away, and the people were abandoned, but fortunately, I met a good person, and I would do embroidery myself, and I took root in this Jiangbei City.
Thirty or forty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and this life has passed.
If I hadn't eloped with that man, what would my life have been like since then?"
People always want to change their past regrets and regret their previous mistakes, and the more unsatisfactory the life, the more so, and Granny Mu is no exception.
Granny Mu's eyes became cloudy again, and she looked up at the roof fixedly: "Xiao Ji, you must see the people around you clearly in the future." ”
"Well, I will. ”
"Your Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu are not ordinary people, maybe they are still alive, maybe they will come back to you in the future, but you have to be careful of the danger they bring, although they can't hurt you, but ...... It's ......"
Granny Mu's voice never came out again, the candle flame of life was slowly extinguished, her eyes were slowly closed, and no matter how much Jiang Ji instilled internal force, she no longer responded.
"I'll be careful, mother-in-law, you can go in peace. ”
Jiang Ji wiped a handful of tears, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
Bang!
"Open the door!
The door of the room suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in fast clothes walked in.
He held the knife in his left hand, and there was a little smile on his oily face: "I heard that there was a murder here, and this arrest came to investigate, and all the unrelated people withdrew." ”
Jiang Ji didn't seem to see him at all, nor did he hear his words, but just carefully laid down Granny Mu's body and sorted it out.
"What about you, I have nothing to do with it. ”
Seeing that Jiang Ji ignored him, Zheng Xiong, who had long been aware of what was happening and the people involved, was displeased, and then took a few steps closer.
And Jiang Ji, who seemed to be stunned, turned around abruptly, his red eyes were faintly fierce, like a beast that chose people to devour.
Zheng Xiong was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, but immediately reacted, pulled out half of the Yanling knife in his hand, and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do?
Jiang Ji stared at him coldly, and then spit out two words: "Get out!"
Zheng Xiong didn't expect that the mud legs in front of him would dare to talk to him like this.
"You want me out, do you know who I am?
"Get out!"
Jiang Ji's stomach was already angry, and the internal force was surging in his body, and it would pour out in the next moment.
Looking at the face that should have been handsome, but now looks hideous, Zheng Xiong felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and his years of catching fast made him feel a fatal crisis.
Zheng Xiong inserted the knife back into the scabbard, a natural smile appeared on his face, and the whole person immediately became a lot more honest.
"If you have something to say, don't do it, I'll go, I'll go. ”
Three steps and two steps, Zheng Xiong quickly left the room, looking at the people watching outside the house, he shouted with a calm face: "What are you looking at? Be careful that Lao Tzu has arrested you all." ”
Leaving along the road where the crowd automatically gave way, Zheng Xiong couldn't help but secretly snort: "Bad luck! I originally wanted to get two money to spend on, but I didn't expect to encounter hard stubble." ”
When Zheng Xiong heard the news, he understood the matter clearly, knowing that Granny Mu had always been alone, and if he came to the door under the pretext of investigating the case, then Granny Mu's money would be his money.
He has never done anything like this.
Even if the victim's family wants to report to the official, he can take the opportunity to make extra money and get some money to spend.
Looking at Zheng Xiong, who was leaving quickly, the neighbors all looked at each other, and then they all dispersed, leaving only three people.
Aunt Wang walked into the house and comforted: "Xiao Ji, the top priority now is to take care of Granny Mu's funeral, and talk about other things later." ”
After a pause, she continued: "Don't blame others, although that Zheng Xiong is just a small catcher, it is not something that we ordinary people can provoke, you shouldn't have been so impulsive just now." ”
Jiang Ji wiped his eyes and reluctantly pulled out a smile: "Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge against other people, I also know that they are not easy, Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I want to ask you for help with something." ”
A trace of sadness appeared on Uncle Wang's simple face: "Eh, you can say anything about it." ”
Jiang Ji's mood calmed down a little at the moment, and his reason returned to his mind: "Please help order a good coffin, as well as shrouds and other things, I am not very familiar with these." ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
Uncle Wang immediately responded, then turned to his son and said, "Ah Yong, you take a few people to the cemetery outside the city, choose a good location, and dig a pit out." ”
"Okay, Dad, don't worry. ”
In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the room.
Jiang Ji turned around and looked at Granny Mu's body, and couldn't help but feel anger and sadness welling up in his heart again.
"Mother-in-law, I know you want me to be safe, but if I can't avenge you, then I will feel uncomfortable for the rest of my life.
But don't worry, I'm not going to be impulsive and risk my life. ”
Looking at Granny Mu's closed eyes, Jiang Ji couldn't help but say, "Do you know? When I first came, I was actually very uneasy.
Later, you took care of me, gave me love, and reminded me of my grandmother, so gradually my heart settled down.
Although life here is very boring and boring, with you as a relative, it is 10,000 times better than I used to be alone.
I didn't expect that this kind of accident happened before I had time to be filial to you and let you live a good life, and I will definitely catch that murderer and avenge you!"
