The courtyard, which is extremely quiet and unmanned on weekdays, is now in a mess. Dense insects of all colors flew around the air, and dark clouds pressed into the air like a roof, surrounding the courtyard.

It was a sunny day, but those flying insects of all colors blocked the blazing sun. The brilliant golden rays were drowned alive by the dense darkness, and disappeared without a trace.

Under the darkness that covered the sky, whenever a living creature approached, the insects rushed over in a swarm, as if they were swarthy and gnawed their fangs to swallow the intruding creature completely.

In such a situation, no one dares to approach easily.

Jia Mu looked at this scene with wide eyes and disbelief, speechless for a long time.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Xing, and said with her mouth half-covered: "Oh, I don't know what strange things the people here have done to cause such a disaster." In the winter, there are not necessarily so many insects in a city, but there are so many here. ”

The incident happened in her own yard, and Mrs. Xing hurriedly defended: "I am very strict in governing the family, and it is impossible for me to produce any moths!" ”

Jia Mu came back to her senses and glanced at her unhappily.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Such a mess, shouldn't disturb the ancestors." Ancestor might as well go back first and find those boys to clean up here? ”

Jia Mu replied softly.

The mandarin duck helped Jia Mu and was about to leave, when suddenly there was a wail in the yard: "The sky is going to kill me, the sky is going to kill me!" Where did this thing come from? You're not going to kill me here! The voice was poignant, and it was clearly terrified.

The sound is all too familiar. Wang Xifeng's face changed first.

Mrs. Wang said "Huh": "How does it sound a little like Brother Lian." ”

"It's not him!" Mrs. Xing instructed the surrounding servants: "You go and rescue the second master quickly." ”

The little guys were shaking like chaff, looking at the pile of insects, and no one dared to nod their heads.

One of them trembled and said, "I heard that someone has fallen into a well and died, and now it has happened again, we, we really don't dare to go." ”

The others nodded, "Yes, yes." Earlier we didn't let people pass, how can we suddenly let us in now? You can't change the order overnight. ”

"I can't do things, but I will make excuses." Wang Shanbao's family said angrily: "You were happy when you received the monthly order, why don't you shirk it when you do something?" No one is missing, all over! If the second master has three long and two short, all of you don't want to live! ”

The little ones moved in horror, and they didn't run an inch for a long time.

Wang Shanbao's family called the mothers-in-law to hold on to the sticks and drove them away. They wailed and pushed, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether their screams were worse or Jia Lian's shouts were more miserable.

Just as the chaos was here, all of a sudden, the insects scattered. It was as if the fireworks had exploded at their most brilliant moment and then disappeared, and suddenly all the humming sound disappeared.

This turn of events left everyone on the spot.

It was Wang Xifeng who reacted first, pointing to the already vacated courtyard and excitedly said: "Ancestor, it's gone, it's gone!" He called out again: "Is the second master okay?" The worms are gone! ”

Jia Lian was obviously still in fear and didn't react for a while, still shouting loudly.

Mrs. Wang hesitated a little: "Old lady, look-"

"Go in and take a look." Jia Mu said majestically: "I want to take a good look at what kind of charter this thing is." After speaking, he went to the courtyard first.

Although it was firm, the coercion of those insects just now seemed to be still there. The group couldn't help but hesitate when they walked forward, and they had to take a look around three or four times, and they didn't reach the door of the house for a long time.

Jia Xuan didn't want to miss this best opportunity, so he said: "Grandmother has always worshiped the Buddha and is blessed by heaven and earth, and those ghosts and spirits are afraid of their grandmother, and they will disperse immediately when they see their grandmother coming." That being the case, with our grandmother guarding us, we can just go straight to it. ”

Jia Muxi said this child's words well-behaved, and she was so frightened that her face changed color, but she was still as ruddy and smiling as usual, she was indeed blessed, very much like the Jia family. can remember the previous words of Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng...... Jia Mu couldn't help but hesitate. While he was still thinking about it, the man had already come to the front of the house.

The door of the house was wide open, and the situation inside was very open to everyone. Everyone was shocked by the situation inside the house after seeing it clearly, and they all gasped, and some of the timid even stepped back again and again, not daring to approach for half a minute.

But it wasn't how terrible Jia Lian's condition was, but that there was a corpse lying in the house.

The corpse was already stiff and white, and its face could still be seen. Someone who knew her couldn't help but blurt out: "It's Huoxiang!" It's the maid Huoxiang next to the big lady! ”

Mrs. Xing was surprised, and her eyes turned to look over: "Huoxiang? Didn't you go home? How so. ”

Xu is pile of insects just now was too terrifying, so after seeing the corpse at this moment, he became a little calmer. As soon as Mrs. Xing finished speaking, she reacted and looked at Jia Lian suspiciously: "You told me before, Huoxiang told you that she wanted to go home, and you came to me on purpose." Why did Huoxiang die here? ”

She looked at Zhao'er next to her, who didn't know when she had passed out in fright, with a little fear on her face, and asked Jia Lian: "Could it be that you killed her?" Otherwise, why would they know that her body is here, and lie to me that she has returned home? ”

"Nonsense!" Jia Mu shouted: "This can also be said? He looked at Jia Lian again: "Tell me what is going on." ”

Jia Lian was so frightened by the blackened insects that surrounded the house just now that he was so scared that he was urinating, and his whole body was wet and smelly.

He sat on the ground with snot and tears on his face, crying, "I didn't kill it, I didn't kill it." Because of his confused thinking, he kept repeating these words, but no matter how much he was, he couldn't say them for a while.

Jia Mu's face became darker and darker.

Wang Xifeng was also so angry that he couldn't do it - just a corpse standing sideways, there was not much blood at a glance, and he could have covered up that the girl died violently, or committed suicide by taking poison, how could he cover up the past.

It's good now, in front of everyone, Jia Lian directly admitted that the person was killed. It's hard to hide it anymore. Whoever did it had to catch the perpetrator of the crime first.

The masters present were silent after thinking about this.

At this time, a crisp voice suddenly asked: "Since Second Brother Lian said that you didn't kill the person, then you always know who made you lie to your mother and let you tell your mother that Huoxiang returned home, right?" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the fifth girl, Jia Xuan, was staring at Jia Lian, her big watery eyes full of curiosity.

Because the insects have dispersed, Jia Lian's ears have no buzzing, and there is no dense black in front of him, his body is a little brisker, but he gradually gets better, and his head begins to return to normal little by little.

He heard the questioning, and subconsciously followed the memory in his mind and replied, "It's a charming person, she asked me to say this to my wife." ”

As soon as the words came out, his head suddenly lit up, and he reacted that this matter should be covered up and not mentioned, how could he blurt it out?

But I can't regret it. Jia Lian subconsciously trembled all over his body and began to retreat.

Jia Mu glared at him angrily and shouted: "Then you really lied for that dog slave?" And come to see the corpse for her! Don't bring the truth yet! Did you die at your hands? ”
