Chapter 30: The Murderer

Li Zhengdao nodded slightly, but there were still doubts in his heart, "Then why don't we just wait in secret, why do we come out to wander around the village?"

Ying Wuxin said: "Brother Dao, you are so smart and talented, you also have to consider the intelligence of ordinary people, how do they know which evidence is guilty, and they have to eliminate it, of course, we need to act and explain it to them." ”

Li Zhengdao frowned slightly, and looked around vigilantly, in the dark night, the surrounding houses and roads were dark and silent, and there was nothing abnormal.

Ying Wuxin's ears moved, and said with a smile: "Since we left the Zhang family's house, someone has been following, but he has quietly left just now, if I am not mistaken, he is the murderer, and now he has begun to destroy the evidence of the crime, let's go." ”

The four of them looked at Ying Wuxin in surprise, they obviously didn't find anything, but Ying Wuxin looked confident, which was really strange.

"Haha, it just so happens that I can listen to the wind technique, as long as there is wind, even if it is slight, I can hear the subtle sound inside, and not a single ant can hide it from my ears. Ying Wuxin smiled faintly.

The faces of the four changed again, and Wang Banxian was even more longing.

With a silent gesture, Ying Wuxin led a few people around to the end of a village road, where a dilapidated courtyard gate blocked the way.

Naturally, a few people couldn't help it, and they jumped over, flew by, and landed on the courtyard wall on the side, as for Wang Banxian, he was kindly taken by Li Zhengdao.

In the dim night, in the courtyard below, a person was digging the dirt in the yard with a shovel, and while digging, he whispered, "No way, no way, I really have no way, you two just go well, I will definitely burn more paper money for you in the future." ”

Sniffing his nose, Ying Wuxin said, "Honey." ”

The other four suddenly realized that the two girls went to poke the hornet's nest under the dirt slope and get honey, this kind of sweet thing is indeed very attractive to the nine-year-old girl.

As for the fear of being stung by wasps, it does not exist in the countryside, because children of this age, both men and women, are very bold, going up to the tree to dig birds' eggs, going down to the river to fish, catching mice, and fighting long worms.

"It's Zhang Liu. Li Zhengdao said indifferently.

Wang Banxian snorted, "Sure enough, it's him, as soon as we entered the village, he urged us to quickly eliminate the evil spirit, it turned out that this guy was the murderer, and he actually killed his own child, it was really better than a beast." ”

"There may be hardships, or the child may not be biological. "There should be no heart.

Li Zhengdao straightened his chest, "No matter what kind of thing it is, mutilating two children is a sin after all." ”

"Zhang Liu-" Li Zhengdao shouted, like thunder.

"Ahh

Seeing the five figures on the courtyard wall, he swallowed hard, and Zhang Liu's head slammed on the ground, "I can't help it, I really can't help it-"

"What's the matter, you brutally killed your two daughters, and you're still pretending to be innocent here, old man, I really want to kick you to death. Wang Banxian glared and scolded angrily.

"Those two girls, did you deceive the dirt slope outside the village?" Ying Wuxin flew into the yard, landed on the ground, and asked in a stern tone.

Zhang Liu cried: "I really can't help it, I can't help it. ”

The other four frowned when they heard this, what did they mean by this, and why did they keep saying that there was no way.

Ying didn't care about this, turned back to Sun Xiaoman and smiled: "Admit it, the murderer has been found, the truth must be known as soon as you ask, what else do you have to say?"

"You...... You're just fooling people, what kind of reasoning is there, if this six wasn't so stupid, how could it make you—" Sun Xiaoman blushed and defended.

"You want to cheat?"

Sun Xiaoman closed his mouth suddenly, his cheeks bulged, his eyes were as bright as candles in the dark night, and he was in a stalemate for a long time, and finally spewed out two breaths from his nose: "You won." ”

"Hehe, concede. Ying Wuxin nodded in return with satisfaction.

"Tell me, why did you want to mutilate your own daughter?" asked Li Zhengdao in an extremely unkind tone.

Zhang Liu seemed to have regained some normal sense, raised his head and glanced at Li Zhengdao, and said with a smile: "You are from a rich family, right?"

"Confessing leniency may make you die a more happy death. Li Zhengdao said sternly.

"Haha. Zhang Liu smiled miserably, "You rich and noble Taoists don't know what a poor person is, and what is the life of a poor person like?"

"That's why you killed your two daughters?" Ying Wuxin wondered, "You and the women in your family are young and healthy, and you can grow the land and plant hemp enough to support your two children." ”

"My surname is Zhang, I am a man of the Zhang family, I am the only seedling of the Zhang family for three rooms and three generations, I am almost thirty years old, I don't have a son, there is no male in the family to inherit the lineage, I just want a son, a son who really belongs to me, who can pass on the lineage, can continue the incense of the family, can ensure that the blood is continuous, can let me no longer be despised by others, can let me live normally like a man, and have my own face, but, but——"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liu cried more and more, "But that woman didn't want to, she didn't want to, saying that the conditions in the family were only enough to support two children, and one more would definitely not last, but I just wanted a son, not a daughter, not a daughter to marry, not water to be spilled in the future." ”

The courtyard fell into silence for a while, Zhang Liu's expression was dull, his eyes were straight, kneeling there, motionless, there was a shovel next to him, and a few pieces of honey with a beehive, a sweet smell spread in the night wind, everyone asked, and their hearts became more and more sad.

As Zhang Liu said, they are poor families, and if they were rich and noble, such a tragedy would definitely not happen.

But there is no if in this world, although everyone is angry in their hearts, they also understand Zhang Liu's suffering, this is not his fault alone, but the tragedy created by the perception of male superiority and inferiority of women in the whole era.

It's hard to say that you're alone.

Even Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen, these two women were angry, but they couldn't say anything to refute, because they knew very well in their hearts that if such a thing happened in their own family, they could only leave one junior, and the elders would definitely choose boys, and they, the women, were all objects of abandonment.

"I'll take him outside the village to see those two girls, what else do you want?" Wang Banxian volunteered.

Ying Wuxin glanced at the three thatched houses behind the courtyard and said, "Let's go together, in case there is an accident." ”

The other three all nodded, and together they led Zhang Liu towards the outside of the village.

Zhang Liu's expression was sluggish, like a fool, and when he was pushed forward, he walked forward mechanically, without the slightest intention of resisting.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, there was a movement in the land outside, and Ying Wuxin pushed Zhang Liu out, and the soil in front of him collapsed, forming a deep hole, which instantly engulfed Zhang Liu.
