Wang Xiucai kept lying flat like this, not daring to squeak or even look at it.

I don't know how long it has been like this, and there has been no movement in the courtyard, but he still doesn't dare to move.

He closed his eyes and prayed in his heart, and perhaps it was really useful, until the sky was slightly bright, and he was not found, and then he overcame his fear and stood up from the grass altar.

However, because his thighs pressed the ground all night, his legs trembled when he stood up, and it took a long time to get back to his state.

He looked around and saw a corpse lying on the ground in front of him.

Suddenly I was shocked to think that the murderer did not destroy the corpse!

At this time, Wang Xiucai's first thought was to report to the official immediately, but as soon as he took two steps, he thought of an important question, if he reported to the official, would he be retaliated against by the murderer?

Wang Xiucai suddenly felt scared again, he was a scholar, what could he do to fight against a devil who killed people without blinking.

No, no, no! You can't lie down in this muddy water!

changed his original intention, Wang Xiucai was greedy again, since the owner of this mansion is dead, then the property he left behind is mine!

Thinking like this, Wang Xiucai was immediately elated again.

Letting go of the idea of reporting to the official, he became bold again, and Wang Xiucai immediately searched in the house.

But he searched the whole house, but found nothing of value.

made Wang Xiucai angry, came to the corpse of the owner of the yard, and kicked him twice.

This kick was terrible, and a bead as green as jade fell out of the arms of the middle-aged man in the brocade robe. It also emits a slight fluorescence.

Wang Xiucai's eyes widened, and he immediately bent down to pick up the bead, pinched it in his palm and touched and looked at it.

"Moham! Is this the legendary pearl of the night? ”

Thinking about it like this, Wang Xiucai was very happy.

I heard that this night pearl is worth a hundred times more than gold, if the pearl in his hand is really a night pearl, then he will not have to worry about food and clothing in his life, and he will no longer have to suffer the anger of his daughter-in-law's family.

Wang Xiucai immediately put the bead into his sleeve, but looked around again,

Most of the house had been searched, and the sun was rising in the east.

Wang Xiucai gave up continuing the search, came to the side of the corpse of the owner of the house, and felt that it was not appropriate to continue to put the corpse here, in case the body was found by the official, and Shun Teng found out that he had stolen someone else's night pearl, wouldn't his dream of making a fortune be shattered?

No way! Gotta bury him!

Wang Xiucai, who was greedy, became more and more bold, so he found a rusty shovel in the courtyard, dug a pit in the courtyard, and it took more than an hour to bury the body!

After doing this, Wang Xiucai folded his hands and prayed: "Big brother, don't blame! The younger brother's family is poor, and his wife and children are hungry, so he took your belongings without authorization, and I didn't take your things for nothing, but I also set up a grave for you, even if you die, you can be blind! ”

After Xiucai finished speaking, he took out a piece of white paper with some wrinkles, and dipped his fingers in the remaining blood stains on the ground. Referring to the pen, it is like writing on paper.

This Wang Xiucai lowered his head and thought about it again, his brows furrowed as if he was trying to remember something.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up: "That's right! He seems to be called Li Er! ”

Then he immediately dropped his fingers and quickly wrote the two big words "Li Er" on the paper!

This is the custom of the Great Liang, all the dead must erect a tablet to engrave words, according to legend, if they do this, they can continue to be human beings in the next life!

crumpled the paper into a ball and buried it in the soil together, and after doing this, Li Er arched his hand and said: "Brother Li, today I use paper instead of the tablet, as a thank you for your posthumous gift!" ”

After doing this, Wang Xiucai began to clean up the blood stains at the scene again, he shoveled the soil again, buried all the clues on the ground that could be evidence of the murder, and then used his feet to re-stomp on the soil.

After a closer look and confirmation that no clues would be left, Wang Xiucai disposed of the shovel in his hand again, and then left the house over the wall.

And that precious thing like a night pearl, Wang Xiucai has always carried it with him, even if he returned home, he never told his wife.

He thought that when he got the money from the sale, it would not be too late to tell his wife.

——

This notice made Wang Xiucai realize that the person named Li Er was wanted by the government. If you find out that you buried him, you will definitely be regarded as a murderer!

Wang Xiucai's heart immediately gave birth to an idea, that is, to escape!

As long as you stay away from Hua'an County, even if you are found out, it doesn't matter, you will definitely be able to sell that bead for a lot of money! Find another place to change your name and surname, and live a carefree life for a lifetime!

Wang Xiucai anxiously rushed home.

In a dilapidated stone house, a woman with a hungry face is cooking at the kitchen counter at home.

Wang Xiucai suddenly broke into the door and startled the woman.

The woman's name was Huang Yan, and she was Wang Xiucai's wife.

Seeing Wang Xiucai running into the bedroom in a hurry, and then there was a crackling sound in the room, Huang Yan immediately put down the kitchen utensils in her hand and walked to the bedroom.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that Wang Xiucai was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, packing up his clothes, as if he was going to go far away.

"Yushu, what are you doing here!" Huang Yan frowned, stepped forward and pulled Wang Xiucai's clothes and asked.

And Yushu is Wang Xiucai's name, and his real name is Wang Yushu.

Wang Xiucai packed up his salute, glanced at Huang Yan indifferently, and said lightly: "I'm going to go far away!" You take good care of the children at home! I won't be back anytime soon! ”

"Where to go? How long are you going to be out? Huang Yan's expression immediately became nervous, and the hand pulling Wang Xiucai's clothes became tighter.

When Huang Yan asked him like this, Wang Xiucai suddenly became angry and pushed Huang Yan to the ground very rudely: "Why do you talk so much!" ”

Huang Yan fell to the ground, her face was in pain, and then her face was full of grievances, and she said in a sad voice:

"You have a bad conscience! Hit me! ”

Saying that, Huang Yan cried loudly, and said while crying: "I think I was originally the daughter of a big family!" Just because I love you, regardless of the dissuasion of my parents, I privately agreed with you for life to live this hard life! I gave birth to a pair of children for you, and I took care of the housework every day without any complaints! ”

"You only know how to bury your head in reading every day, and you only seek fame, and the family only depends on me to make a living by picking mulberry and weaving clothes and selling straw sandals! I am wholeheartedly devoted to you and have never treated you badly, but you have never been half grateful for all my efforts, and your attitude towards me is becoming colder and colder! Now that you say you can leave, is it really so ruthless? ”

Originally, Wang Xiucai felt guilty about pushing Huang Yan's palm, but he said it after a long discussion.

"Don't you just think I'm useless! If you regret marrying me, then we can leave today! ”
