Chapter 24: The Coffin

It turned out that there was a tragedy of broken corpses in the town thirty years ago, it is said that a neighbor suddenly smelled the stench emitted from the bucket when he fetched water from his own well, it was early autumn, and the fog in the air in the early morning was still relatively hazy, and he couldn't see it really, until the neighbor saw the things floating in the bucket, people were scared silly, it was like a pigskin-like thing, and even the bones and hair slowly floated on the barrel surface.

At that time, the neighbor almost crawled to the town's government to report the case, and the government immediately blocked the well, but because the well was not unique to the neighbor's house, the broken body was so scattered that it could barely be judged to be a woman's scalp, after all, it still had long strands of hair on it.

For a few days, people in the town were panicked, and before the government could continue to investigate, the murderer was caught, and it turned out to be Zhao Zhenghai, who was rich in the town, who was a local tyrant, a proper big landlord, and the beauties who were accepted back by him outside the family were not 1,800, dozens of them were there at that time.

When the government went to investigate, the magnificent porter looked a little discouraged.

It turned out that when Zhao Zhenghai made his fortune, he relied on his own good luck, and with his extraordinary luck, his fortune made him chic for a long time, but people who often consume their wealth and luck too early will not end well.

When he is middle-aged, Zhao Zhenghai has only one son under his knees, who was born in a big house, which is nothing, but a fireworks woman favored by Zhao Zhenghai somehow wanted to seek Zhao Zhenghai's wealth and wealth, and used some unconventional means to conceive Zhao Zhenghai when he was in his forties.

It's nothing, but after all, this birth is unconventional, and then the Zhao family began to live in peace, and the Zhao family began to die in a row, at first it was a small house, and then it was a beautiful concubine, until even Zhao Zhenghai found out that something was wrong, his home had been ruined to the point that there was not much left, and outsiders only envied Zhao Zhenghai all the year round and did not care about his situation.

Zhao Zhenghai, a serial dead man, had to spend more money to settle the government and settle everyone who knew the inside story.

Zhao Zhenghai began to return to the gambling house, and at first he relied on his luck to win back, but luck is not allowed, Zhao Zhenghai continued to decline, his family property, and his beauties were almost all exchanged for gambling money by him.

Until Zhao Zhenghai really had nothing to gamble on, and he didn't turn over when he couldn't sell it, when the thing came, the concubine left the dead baby and ran away with a man, Zhao Zhenghai was angry and fought against the wife who had dissuaded him from accompanying him for a long time.

Zhao Zhenghai woke up, and when he saw his dying wife, who had been injured by himself, he panicked, as if he was fascinated by a ghost, but Zhao Zhenghai, who was supposed to report to the official, said to his wife, you are my person in life and my ghost in death, madam, go to hell with me.

In this way, Zhao Zhenghai himself chopped his wife's body little by little with a worn-out stone axe, put it into different cloth bags, and threw it into different places by Zhao Zhenghai.

At this point in the story, Zhao Zhenghai's crime has been revealed, and he is only waiting for the final trial, but the bizarre thing is that Zhao Zhenghai committed suicide after killing and dismembering his body, leaving only a child under the age of ten to recuperate at his grandfather's house.

I listened to the old man in the town talking, and the hanging day had become a little dark at some point, and Guo Xuan, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but interrupt.

"The old man, where is Zhao Zhenghai's orphan now?"

Hearing this, the old man shook his head as if he had touched something terrible, got up and wanted to go back to the house, but turned his head to look at me, "Young man, you should just listen to a supernatural story, I am also old, I don't remember much, I also listen to others about many things, don't take it too seriously." ”

I wanted to continue asking, but Guo Xuan stopped me, "I asked in vain, he has already told us a lot." ”

"Tell me, Master, what do you know?"

Guo Xuan looked at me and chuckled, "I said that I won't interfere, why should I tell you the information I know?" ”

"If you don't tell me, I'll guess it."

I just wanted to pretend, but Guo Xuan was interested, and asked me, "Okay, then tell me what Zhao Dong will do next?" ”

"Zhao Dong?"

"yes, you didn't guess that"

I was speechless for a while, okay, how can this involve Zhao Dong again.

Guo Xuan seemed to be amused by my stupidity, "It seems that I really overestimated you, so as to prevent you from continuing to be stupid in the future, follow my train of thought in the future, and take you to gain knowledge." ”

My whole face was flushed, and I could only echo it in a muffled voice.

At night, there were a few birdsongs in the woods from time to time, cold and terrifying, I saw Zhao Dong wearing black clothes sneakily poking a shovel on the ground, touching here and there.

From Zhao Dong returning home after seeing him in the afternoon, to me and Guo Xuan following him into the woods at night, it was all very easy and smooth, as if someone deliberately let him know all this.

"Closer, do you see?"

I followed Guo Xuan's gaze and saw that Zhao Dong walked all the way to the place where he found the coffin made of gloomy wood, and his hairs stood on end for a while, how could this be?
