Volume 1: The Beginning of Cultivation Chapter 61: The Sisters of the Zhu Family
Near noon, Aunt Cui took Wang Liang out of the village and went to the river.
After stepping out of the village, the bloody breath disappeared, and Wang Liang also took a breath before looking at the bank of the river.
The corpse I saw last night was now being placed on a bamboo raft and floating in the middle of the river, and a middle-aged man next to him was standing in the water and holding on to the bamboo raft to prevent it from drifting away.
The river was a little deep, and the man was tall and burly, and only his head was exposed when he stood in the water.
On the shore, Wang Liang saw the middle-aged woman last night, and at this moment she was standing on the shore and still wiping away her tears. There was also an old man and a little girl behind him.
"That's the village chief! Whenever someone dies in the village, he will be present to preside over the ceremony!" Aunt Cui pulled Wang Liang to stand very far away, as if she was afraid of getting something unlucky.
But as Aunt Cui said, there are only a few people by the river now, and it seems that everyone else is very taboo about this.
"Where you go in life, where you go in death!
If there is no one to rely on, the river spirit leads!
When the soul returns, it will finally sleep!"
The village chief has words in his mouth, with a wonderful melody, like Sanskrit sounds, mysterious and mysterious, which makes people a little unreal.
However, Wang Liang didn't sense any spiritual power from it, and this village chief should just be a mortal.
It was the little girl behind the village chief that made Wang Liang a little concerned.
The girl had a delicate face and a calm expression, as if she had seen too much of the dead man's affairs, and never made a single sound from beginning to end.
But the girl's eyes kept staring at the corpse, and although there was no trace of emotion in her expression, those eyes seemed to be about to eat the corpse!
Wang Liang just looked at this girl, I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the girl's eyes seemed to be seen somewhere.
Ever seen it?
Where is it?
Wang Liang just felt familiar, but if he really wanted to, he still couldn't remember it.
On the contrary, Aunt Cui saw that Wang Liang had been staring at the girl, as if she had thought of something, and an inexplicable smile appeared on her face.
"Do you like that girl?" asked Aunt Tsui with a smile, "No wonder you are clamoring to come here, you are here to see her!
Wang Liang couldn't cry or laugh: "Aunt Cui, you misunderstood, I just ...... It's just that...... yes, I just love her!"
Wang Liang thought about it for a long time, and found that he had no better reason, but if he said that he liked it, he might have a chance to get some clues.
"Do you know what her name is?"
"Their family's surname is Zhu, and the village chief's name is Zhu Wu! That girl is his granddaughter, she should be called Zhu Ziqing!"
"Should it?" Wang Liang was a little uncertain when he heard Aunt Cui's words, and couldn't help asking, "Does she have any other names?"
Aunt Cui shook her head and said, "That's not it, it's just because she also has a sister named Zhu Zilan! These sisters were born at the same time, and they look exactly the same! Just by looking at their appearance, even the village chief can't tell who his granddaughter is!"
However, the two sisters have a big difference in personality, the elder sister is active, and the younger sister is quiet. The one who can stand quietly behind the village chief and not walk around should be her sister Zhu Ziqing! As for her sister, who knows where she went!"
I see......
While speaking, the village chief Zhu Wu suddenly shouted, and Zhu Ziqing took out a wooden scoop and handed it over. The village chief took the wooden scoop and scooped a scoop of river water, then sprinkled it vigorously on the corpse in the middle of the river, and then handed the wooden scoop to Zhu Ziqing, before saying to the man holding the raft in the middle of the river: "Okay! You can let it go!"
The man couldn't bear it anymore, pushed the raft hard, let it carry the body down the river, and then hurriedly returned to the shore and thanked the village chief.
"It's really that the village chief has come to hold a ceremony for this bastard!"
Listening to the voice, Wang Liang finally knew that this person was the father of the deceased.
"It's a human life, I still have to send this old bone out!" the village chief sighed, "It's still Liu She's bad luck and he ran into robbers...... You husband and wife are also mourning!"
"Thank you, village chief, we need to go back and clean up, so we won't stay here any longer!" the man thanked him, and then took the weeping woman away.
Wang Liang watched the corpse drift away along the river, and then walked over to block the village chief.
"Hello village chief!" Wang Liang saluted.
"Who are you kid?" the village chief Ke Wang Liang looked extremely angry, and couldn't help asking, "You're not from the village, are you?"
Zhu Ziqing in the back also looked at Wang Liang, her eyes flashed with a little curiosity, but more shocked.
Wang Liang saw their reactions in his eyes, and suddenly had a realization in his heart.
This Zhu Ziqing seems to know something! I have to find a way to set her words!
"This child's name is Wang Liang, and he went out to play with his father, but he was scattered by wolves, and then he arrived in our village!" Aunt Cui came over and explained, "I see that he is pitiful, so let him live with me!"
"That's right. The village chief nodded and said with a smile, "Then you have to entertain this little guest well! Otherwise, when his father comes and sees that he has been bullied, won't our village become a wicked person?"
"I know!" Aunt Cui smiled, "Is the village chief going back?"
"yes, go back and rest, what's the matter with you?"
"There is a little matter that I have to ask the village chief's opinion!" Aunt Cui said, pulling the village chief to the side, and whispered, leaving only Wang Liang and Zhu Ziqing in the same place.
Why didn't Wang Liang know what Aunt Cui meant, didn't he just want to create an opportunity for himself to get to know Zhu Ziqing well?
However, Aunt Cui's understanding is absolutely different from Wang Liang's, doesn't Aunt Cui just feel that she is interested in other girls, so she wants to match?
But why doesn't she want to think about how old Zhu Ziqing is?!
Wang Liang couldn't laugh or cry, but now he could take this opportunity to ask something.
"Hello!" Wang Liang greeted Zhu Ziqing, and then said with a smile, "Are you called Zhu Ziqing?
"Thank you!"
Zhu Ziqing replied coldly, and then stopped talking, as if he was not interested in Wang Liang at all.
Wang Liang continued to ask, "I heard that you also have a twin sister? I heard Aunt Cui say that you look exactly the same, is this true?"
"Really!"
"So where did your sister go? Aren't you together?"
"Not there!"
"Then aren't you worried about her?"
"Get used to it!"
Very good...... Finally three words popped up......
For the first time, Wang Liang felt that it was so difficult to talk to people, was he so annoying?
"When I came, I saw a wolf outside the village!" Wang Liang continued, "He almost scared me to death at the time! By the way, who was the person who died just now? Looking at the many wounds on his body, it was so scary! I always felt that I smelled the blood on his body!"
Wang Liang said, carefully checking the changes in the expression on Zhu Ziqing's face.
The smell of blood was blunt enough, he didn't believe that this girl didn't know anything!
Otherwise, why would Zhu Ziqing be shocked when she saw herself? If she didn't know something, she wouldn't have been shocked by an outsider coming to the village.
Just as Wang Liang expected, when Zhu Ziqing heard the three words of blood, a trace of disgust flashed on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Oh!"
Zhu Ziqing only said one word, and then didn't want to deal with Wang Liang, and prepared to go over and ask the village chief to leave.
"You're here!"
Suddenly, an extremely sharp laughter came, and then a girl who looked exactly like Zhu Ziqing ran over, then took Zhu Ziqing's hands and jumped up and talked.
"Sister, sister, I called the big rock and they went swimming together!
Is this my sister Zhu Zilan?
Wang Liang looked at the two sisters, and could hardly find any difference between the two from their appearance, except for one with a cheerful smile and the other with a cold silence, he really couldn't find any other differences!
"Sister!" Zhu Ziqing looked at Zhu Zilan, and his tone suddenly became soft, "Didn't you tell you not to go swimming? Why didn't you listen? And there was a dead man in this river just now!
So you can talk!
Zhu Ziqing said a word to his sister that was many times more than he said to Wang Liang! Wang Liang thought she was stammering, so he deliberately jumped out with two words and two words!
"It's boring! The village smells so bad, and I don't want to go back, so I can only swim outside the village!
Unpleasant?!
Wang Liang heard this word, in the village, apart from the smell of blood, what smell is worse than this?
This Zhu Zilan can even smell the smell of blood in the village?!
"No!" Zhu Ziqing's tone was stern, more like a sister than Zhu Zilan, "I don't allow you to go!"
"Why don't you let me go!" Zhu Zilan was even more unhappy, her mouth pursed, she turned around and ran back, "Ignore you! I'll go by myself, hum!"
Zhu Ziqing was about to chase after her, but Wang Liang couldn't let her go like this, so he grabbed the person and asked bluntly: "Do you know anything?
"No comment!"
Zhu Ziqing's voice was still extremely cold in Wang Liang's ears.
"All I can tell you is to get out of here! The farther away the better! Even if you are torn apart by the wolves outside, it is better than in this village!"
Zhu Ziqing used his strength, but he broke free of Wang Liang's pull, and hurriedly chased after Zhu Zilan.
Wang Liang was shocked at that time, you must know that in order to keep Zhu Ziqing, the strength he used to hold her wrist was already the maximum strength used without hurting her!
Don't cultivators lose face?
Or is this Zhu Ziqing not a mortal?
And what she just said, why did she let herself go?
Is it better to be killed by a wolf outside than in a village? What dangers are hidden in this village?
