Chapter 368: Resurrection
Lu Chaoran was shocked, hurriedly avoided the scissors that stabbed him, and then raised his hand to hold Xiuniang's wrist, and the two scuffled like this.
Although Xiuniang was already dizzy, she was just a weak woman after all, and her strength was certainly not comparable to Lu Chaoran.
In the midst of the struggle, the scissors turned around and stabbed into Xiuniang's chest!
The blood was gurgling and overflowing from the wound, Xiuniang's face was pale, staggering, and her eyes were full of hatred when she looked at Lu Chaoran.
"Xiu Niang!"
Lu Chaoran didn't seem to realize that he had killed Xiuniang by mistake, and immediately stepped forward and wanted to hold Xiuniang, but Xiuniang had already fallen down slowly, and she didn't blink an eye.
After a moment of stunnedness, Lu Chaoran quickly regained his previous coldness.
"Hmph, that's so unlucky!"
He said hatefully: "Zhang Songxian, I didn't expect that even your woman was so loyal, even if she died, she wouldn't want to obey me, since that's the case, I will send you to hell and reunite your family of three!" ”
After finishing speaking, Lu Chaoran walked out of the door, got into the sedan chair, and the group walked away.
It wasn't until the sedan chair was far away that I walked out of the alley and walked into Zhang Songxian's house again.
In the house, the baby was lying on the ground, motionless, and Xiuniang also collapsed in the corner, covered in bloodstains, and she couldn't see it!
I couldn't help but sigh deeply, not knowing what the meaning of witnessing such a human tragedy was.
It was still quiet outside, no one appeared, it seemed that the entire Guyuzhuang people had disappeared, and I couldn't watch the corpses of Xiuniang and the child being ignored.
So he found a shovel, dug a deep pit in the courtyard, wrapped the bodies of the two men in a white cloth, and buried them inside.
Whether it's real or unreal, I do it out of my own heart, otherwise I don't think my conscience will be at peace.
After burying Xiuniang's mother and son, I began to think about what to do next.
The events in the world in the painting will not appear in front of me for no reason, so far, the development of the whole event is still around Zhang Songxian's family, so I believe that the clue to find the nightmare should still be in Zhang Songxian.
When I returned to the capital, I met Zhang Songxian again by bribing the jailers, and hesitated for a while, but after all, I didn't tell him about the murder of his wife and children.
"Cousin, Chaoran has already told me that when the beheading is time, he will let the executioner cut the reins behind my back, and when the time comes, I will bow my head and run home, and he will help me solve the aftermath."
Seeing me coming over, Zhang Songxian said excitedly.
Of course, I know that Lu Chaoran is just deceiving Zhang Songxian, but seeing that he is so confident, he doesn't want to say anything, just handed over the food he bought, so that he can eat a mouthful of hot food before he dies.
Watching Zhang Songxian gobble up, I shook my head and walked out slowly.
For me now, I can only act as a bystander to see if Jang Song-hyun will be killed, because I always have a hunch in my heart that things will not end so easily.
In the blink of an eye, three days after the world in the painting, at noon, the entrance of the vegetable market was crowded with people, many people gathered around to watch the rare public beheading.
On the execution ground, Zhang Songxian was tied up with five flowers, kneeling on the execution ground, maintaining an indifferent look.
I stood in the crowd, glanced around, and saw that the prison officer was Lu Chaoran.
Lu Chaoran was now dressed in an official uniform, his face was majestic, and he seemed to have completely forgotten that he had killed Zhang Songxian's wife and children just three days ago.
"The hour has come, execution!"
After looking at the sun, Lu Chaoran directly threw down an arrow.
The executioner on the stage got the order, first took a sip of wine, and then sprayed all the wine on the ghost head knife in his hand.
As soon as the rag was wiped, the ghost head knife flashed in the light.
Immediately, the executioner shouted, and the ghost head knife was raised high, aimed at Zhang Songxian's neck, and slashed down.
Before the knife fell, I saw Zhang Songxian tilt his head to look at me and shout to me: "Cousin, when you get home, I'll invite you to drink!" ”
Click!
As soon as the words fell, the ghost head knife slashed down, only to hear a click, scarlet blood splashed on the execution ground, and Zhang Songxian's body fell straight down.
A round thing rolled down and fell underneath the execution ground.
Without any accident, Jang Song-hyun, was killed.
"The prisoner has been punished on the spot, according to the investigation of this official, this person has no family background, if there is a person with good intentions, he can give two copper coins to bury the criminal's body."
Lu Chaoran walked over, glanced at Zhang Songxian's corpse, and said disdainfully.
The surrounding spectators, and Zhang Songxian were not related, just to see the excitement, naturally no one helped him collect the body, after watching the execution, they took the matter as a talking point and went home.
Only Zhang Songxian's body was left on the execution ground, and he was still lying alone on the ground.
And that's the end of it?
I watched everything dumbfounded, but I always felt that something was not quite right.
In any case, I am also a witness to the whole thing, although I did not interfere in the development of the situation, but I think that helping Zhang Songxian collect the body is still an obligation of my own.
So he took out two copper coins, handed them to the executioner, and asked someone to bury Zhang Songxian's body outside the city.
As for his head, I put it in a wooden box, ready to take it back to Guyuzhuang and bury it with Xiuniang.
Ye Luo returned to the roots, although I couldn't transport his entire body back, but bringing his head back to his hometown should be regarded as a good deed.
With the wooden box, I didn't stay for a moment, I came to Guyuzhuang again, and walked to the door of Zhang Songxian's house, but I couldn't help but be stunned.
Because I saw that in Zhang Songxian's house, there was curling smoke rising, and there was a burst of cheerful laughter in the house.
What's going on?
I wondered if there was a homeless man who saw that there was no one living here, so he occupied Zhang Songxian's house?
Intrigued, I walked to the door and tapped twice.
After a while, I heard the sound of small footsteps, from far and near, and with a creak, the door was opened.
"Cousin, you're here!"
A young and beautiful woman said to me with a smile.
But my eyes widened, and I only felt a tingling in my scalp, and I couldn't even speak for a while.
Because standing in front of me is the Xiuniang who was killed by Lu Chaoran!
And in the harness on her back, the baby who had been thrown to death poked its head out and giggled at me.
This, what's going on?
Xiuniang and her child were killed by Lu Chaoran, I have witnessed it with my own eyes, why did I go to the capital and the mother and son were resurrected?
Just as I was surprised, the door opened, and another familiar figure approached me.
Jang Song Hyun!
Why didn't he die?
