Chapter 216: Know in Your Heart
Chapter 216
"This person was talking to me in a dignified manner, and I walked to the door, and before I could get out of the alleyway, I turned back and disappeared from her." Guo Wei cried and cried.
Zhao Fusheng's gaze fell to the side of the stove.
The kitchen with a broken bed has two entrances, one leading to the outer hall and one at one end of the stove, leading to the rear.
The door leading to the hall was framed and had no door, while the entrance to the back of the house had a broken door, which was tied and held against it with a pole.
Her eyes fell on the wooden door that was against the flat pole, and she said:
"Where was your wife when you said goodbye?"
"It was close to noon, and my four eggs were crying out that they were hungry, so she lit a fire in the kitchen and sat on a wooden mound." Guo Wei replied sadly.
"Is it possible that she went out through this door when you turned around?"
Zhao Fusheng pointed to the wooden door that was against the flat pole and asked.
"Impossible."
Guo Wei is categorical.
After finishing speaking, he was weak again, and he was afraid that he would lose the face of this big man in the Demon Suppression Division by speaking so bluntly, and explained with sincere fear:
"My lord, it's really impossible. We have a lot of bandits here, and they have to enter the village to sweep and rob at every five hours, and my family is poor, and I really can't take out anything. ”
After saying that, he added again:
"When I came back that day, I found that my mother-in-law was gone, and I saw that the fire on the stove was still alive, and the water in the pot was boiling.
Regarding the disappearance of his wife, he was rarely shrewd:
"Even if she has something urgent to leave through the back door, but after opening the door, we can't tie this door from the inside, sir, don't you?"
"Yes."
Zhao Fusheng nodded and agreed with Guo Wei's words.
For ghost riders, there is naturally a way to leave the house quietly, but Guo Wei's wife is just an ordinary peasant woman, and she has no ability to leave the house without knowing it.
After ruling out the speculation that Guo's wife left the back door of the kitchen, she suddenly got up:
"I'll take a look at your other rooms."
"Yes."
Guo Wei endured the pain and got up, and responded meekly.
The rest of the villagers were frightened by her and obediently followed behind them with torches.
The Guo family's house is not big, and you can see it after a few steps.
The outer room had only a kitchen and another inner room, and a dilapidated livestock shed next to it, but the Guo family was poor and the place was abandoned.
However, after the livestock shed was broken, it also opened to the outside laneway, Zhao Fusheng pointed to the Zhangjia wall that could be seen outside from the direction of the broken shed, and asked Guo Wei:
"You wanted to go out and report to the official that day, where did you go?"
"I didn't take two steps, just a foot or two out of the door, and it was almost the direction of an adult's finger."
Guo Wei replied with a depressed expression.
"That is, the direction in which you are standing, you can see no matter who is out of your house." Zhao Fusheng asked.
"Yes." Guo Wei nodded.
The onlookers and the old man Zhang also felt that something was wrong when they heard this.
The Guo family neither went out nor hid at home, so where could they go?
"What a hell of a life!"
A villager with a torch muttered.
These people have no intention, but Zhao Fusheng knows the inside story.
Although she had sensed the faint aura of ghosts in the Guo family at the beginning, after ruling out all possibilities at this time, the existence of ghosts became the only answer.
She led the group back to the kitchen.
Old man Zhang diligently brought a long bench for her, his eyes fell on the blood on the side, and said flatteringly:
"My lord, this water smells very strong, I'll go and pour this water."
After saying that, he wanted to go and serve the water scoop.
It was still useful for Zhao Fusheng to spare his life, so stop his actions at this time:
"Don't be busy, the smell in this room can't be dispersed by pouring water."
Her words made the old man Zhang unclear, he had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to stand to the side honestly under Zhao Fusheng's gaze.
"Guo Wei, you said before that your family was poor and couldn't afford to buy corn?" Zhao Fusheng asked.
When Guo Wei heard this, he was a little uncomfortable, and nodded in frustration:
"Yes, my lord, every year my father and I are working, in the fields and fields, there is not a moment of slackness, and my mother-in-law is also nimble with hands and feet, cutting hemp and spinning thread all year round——"
When he said that, his voice choked up, and he couldn't go on.
Zhao Fusheng didn't look at him, but fell his eyes on the few pieces of 'bacon' hanging on the stove:
"I think you're lying." After she finished speaking, she saw that Guo Wei was stunned, and without waiting for him to open his mouth to shout injustice, she continued:
"You said that your family can't even afford to eat, how can you have the money to make air-dried 'bacon'?"
"What, what 'bacon'?"
Guo Wei was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"Isn't that it?" Zhao Fusheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the stove and asked him.
He turned his head in a daze, followed the direction of Zhao Fusheng's finger, and finally saw a few hanging 'bacon' hanging in the pitch black above the stove.
"W-What is this?!"
At this time, Guo Wei's face was full of shock and disbelief, Zhao Fusheng had carefully observed, he was not pretending.
Old man Zhang also saw the 'bacon' hanging above the stove, and his face showed a look of covetousness:
"'Bacon'! Guo Xiaozi, I didn't expect your house to hide such a good thing. ”
The people in the village are poor, and they rarely make tooth sacrifices all year round, although his family can also get a little meat during the New Year because of his son, but at this time he saw the 'bacon', and the saliva secretion in his mouth couldn't be stopped:
"It seems that you usually pretend to be poor, your family doesn't fire much, just looking at the color of this 'meat', I'm afraid it has been smoked for several years, it is a treasure left by your father and mother when they were alive, right?"
"No, no, no—"
Guo Wei shook his head.
He was not overjoyed when he saw the items added to his home out of thin air.
His face was almost blue, and he only felt frightened and strange at this moment:
"It's not my thing, how did it come about, I—I have no memory-"
"Not yours? How can you say that the things in your house are not yours? Old man Zhang said strangely.
After saying this, his eyes rolled and he gurgled:
"That's not yours, it could be mine."
“……”
Zhao Fusheng looked at him with a smile:
"Do you really want to?"
She didn't seem to be disgusted by Old Man Zhang's behavior of taking advantage of a small advantage, and Old Man Zhang was ecstatic when he heard this, and quickly nodded wildly.
Several of the other villagers had remorseful and panicked expressions on their faces, and they also wanted to speak.
Old man Zhang was the most anxious and wanted to climb up to the stove to get it, but Zhao Fusheng stopped him:
"Don't worry, if the truth is revealed, you still want this 'meat', I won't stop you."
She had something to say.
When Old Man Zhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But he only had those few pieces of 'bacon' in his heart at this time, and he always felt that this fun was fragrant and old, with the faint blood in the house, and his stomach was so hungry that he wanted to take those pieces of 'bacon' off immediately and take them home.
"My lord—"
He shouted, and suddenly there was a sound of uniform footsteps outside.
Zhao Fusheng smiled:
"Here we are."
"What's coming?" Old man Zhang's face was full of puzzlement.
"Cao Dazong, they're back." Zhao Fusheng said.
"So fast?"
A villager muttered.
Li Da Luozi is not a good type.
He has close contacts with the bandits, and he is also a member of the bandits' den in Huanggang Village, which is already a tacit secret to everyone in Fengmen Village.
The servants in Long Town knew his identity, but they didn't dare to provoke him.
Now that he had eaten and drunk, and rested with a group of bandits, and the servants and villagers went to arrest him, he might not be willing to come all the way obediently, and maybe the two sides would break out into conflict and fight.
Zhao Fusheng sent Cao Dazong and others to the Li family to get people, but it only took a few words to go, how could they come back so quickly?
When everyone was secretly wondering to themselves, everyone's ears suddenly heard the laughter of 'hee-hee'.
It's like a little girl's chuckle.
In the middle of the night, when I suddenly heard such a laugh, I couldn't help but feel creepy.
The villagers, Guo Wei and Old Man Zhang suddenly changed their faces, but Zhao Fusheng smiled.
At this moment, the smell of blood became stronger.
In the dim light, a pale pink blood mist condensed in the room.
The moment the mist appeared, the thick smell of blood in the room was diluted, and in its place was a bloody smell mixed with sweet and greasy floral fragrance.
Then, the unthinkable happened!
In front of everyone's eyes, those blood mist floating in the air squirmed and closed, forming granular blood beads, and then the blood beads converged, and finally condensed into a pale child who appeared in the Guo family's house.
When Kuaiman came back on Monday, Zhao Fusheng smiled.
In addition to her normal reaction, Old Man Zhang, the villagers, Guo Wei and others all rubbed their eyes.
"This, this—"
Old man Zhang muttered to himself:
"This is really evil, I seem to see a person-"
"Me too—"
The villagers said in a trembling voice, Guo Wei's body began to tremble, the fire in the house flickered, the lights flickered, flickering brightly and dimly.
"Coming back?"
Zhao Fusheng asked with a smile, and Kuai Manzhou nodded obediently:
"Hmm."
Zhao Fusheng didn't ask if things were going well or not, this kind of trust obviously made the little girl very happy, she raised her pale little hand, clenched a few weird black lines as thin as silk hair, and said as if offering a treasure:
"Fusheng, look."
Those strange silk threads were grabbed by her, drilled out between her fingers, and spread out along the Guo family's house.
In the flickering light of the fire, with an ominous and terrifying aura.
As Kuai Manzhou's hand trembled, the other end of the line was taut, and then there was a uniform sound of footsteps.
"Good."
Zhao Fusheng praised it.
When Old Man Zhang saw this, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with convulsions.
The other villagers turned pale and were nailed to the spot like puppeteers, and then they were about to flee with a strange scream, Zhao Fusheng said:
"Things are really good for the whole week, after Li Da Luozi comes, you will take care of these people, don't let them walk around, and ruin my business."
“……”
When the villagers who wanted to rush out of the door heard this, they immediately did not dare to move again.
"Hee-hee."
The child's laughter sounded, and Kuai Manzhou had a small white face and nodded seriously:
"Okay."
She shook the ghost line, and a group of merfolk rushed in outside.
The first one was short and thin, but his head was quite large, his face was swollen, and his two front teeth were particularly eye-catching, sticking out of his lips like rabbit teeth.
"Luo, Luo, Third Brother Luo-"
When Guo Wei saw this person, he seemed to have forgotten the strangeness of Kuai Manzhou.
For him, the fear brought to him by Li Da Luozi even overwhelmed the coercion of the evil ghost, and he sat on the ground, hanging his injured arm and shrinking back.
At this time, Li Da Luozi no longer has his usual ferocity.
His eyes were blank and his steps were heavy.
Upon closer inspection, a pitch-black ghost thread could be seen piercing the clothes on his chest, extending forward, and the other end of the silk was held into the child's hand.
Under the guidance of the ghost line, Li Da Luozi was like a marionette, approaching Zhao Fusheng step by step, and finally stood at the entrance of Guo Wei's kitchen.
Behind Li Da Luozi, several men with roe heads and rat eyes also lined up and stood still in turn, motionless.
"Your Excellency."
Outside, Wu Shaochun and others also returned.
Except for Cao Dazong, who had already seen Kuai Manzhou's methods, he was still calm and even a little excited, whether it was the errand servant or Lin Laoba and the others, their faces were pale, their legs were trembling, and they looked at Zhao Fusheng's eyes with an indescribable look of fear.
……
"Hell!"
When Old Man Zhang saw Lin Laoba and the others coming back, he got up from the ground with a grunt, crying and roaring.
He was crawling on the ground, trying to drill out, but as soon as he climbed two steps, he was blocked by Li Da Luozi and others standing in a row at the door.
"Ahhhh
"Shut up."
Wu Shaochun squeezed in from Li Da Luozi's side, kicked Old Man Zhang to the ground, and then looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"My lord, Li Da Luozi and others have brought it back."
After having Kuai Manzhou's company, things went exceptionally smoothly.
The group went to Li Da Luozi's house, Cao Dazong and Wu Shaochun knew the lethality of children, and the two did not hesitate to knock the door of Li's house open.
Li Da Luozi was drunk and unconscious, but his accomplice heard the knock on the door and kept scolding and came out with a knife.
As soon as these people appeared, when Lin Laoba and the others were frightened, Kuai Manzhou took action.
The power of the ghosts instantly restrained these people.
The bandits, who were still fierce and vicious before, instantly lost all their reaction ability, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground, like a walking corpse, and was dragged out of the gate of the Li family by Kuai Manzhou.
This scene shocked Lin Laoba and other villagers, and at the same time scared the people of the Li family.
Lin Laoba and the others did not disperse in a hurry at that time, completely because Cao Dazong was there.
Under the verbal threat of Wu Shaochun, Cao Dazong suppressed the errand soldiers, and Kuai Manzhou, who restrained Li Da Luozi and others by strange means, immediately became very honest in Fengmen Village.
How did the group go, and they also obediently returned in turn - I was afraid that they would end up with the same fate as Li Da Luozi and others, and they were led by Kuai Manzhou, and their life and death were unknown.
Wu Shaochun briefly finished talking about the cause and effect, and Zhao Fusheng nodded.
"I've found something here, too."
赵福生 says:
"Guo Wei's father, wife, and son should have had an accident."
Her words shook everyone's hearts.
Although Guo Wei had realized that something was wrong after his relatives disappeared one after another, when he heard Zhao Fusheng say this, he was still grief-stricken, and a whimpering sobs came out of his mouth.
"Dead?" Wu Shaochun asked.
Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Hmm."
Wu Shaochun's gaze fell on Guo Wei, and his expression was stunned for a moment.
He has also experienced the ghost case, and he is also a survivor of the ghost case in Kotou Village, and he also lost his only relative in the case of the substitute ghost.
Although Guo Wei said that he was cowardly, Wu Shaochun had a subtle sense of sympathy for him at this time.
