Chapter 19: The Poor Woman Escapes from the Tiger's Mouth
Liu Ziwen hurriedly dressed neatly, trotted all the way, and first came to the door of the living room of the main house in the front yard, and visited the body of the old lady who had been carried here by the family.
He lifted the quilt covering the old lady, and the old lady's miserable white face immediately met his eyes, which frightened him, and quickly turned the old lady over, only to see that the old lady had a blood hole in the back of her head, her blood had flowed, and the wound coagulated and no longer bleed.
Liu Ziwen shed a few tears of grief and told Ma Jingming, who was following behind, to immediately set up a funeral shed to arrange the old lady's funeral.
Then he went to the living room to visit his injured brother. At this time, Liu Zihao had already woken up, but he felt a pain in his head, lying on a bed in the living room and humming. Seeing that his younger brother was coming, he hurriedly said: "Second brother, our old lady is gone, the family is unfortunate, this account must be recorded on the heads of Xinghua and Wang Ma, quickly send someone to catch Xinghua back, skin her alive, light her sky lantern, and solve the hatred in my heart!"
"Big brother, you can take care of your illness, and leave everything to the second brother. Liu Ziwen reassured.
Subsequently, Liu Ziwen gathered the housekeeper Ma Jingming, the head of the courtyard Yang Jun, Niu Qun and his subordinates Shang Tianying, Lu Long and others together, and after some research, it was decided that on the one hand, the housekeeper Ma Jingming was responsible for Zhang Luo's funeral, and on the other hand, he urgently dispatched the family, the courtyard and the police, and the soldiers were divided into four roads, respectively, led by Yang Jun, Niu Qun, Shang Tianying, and Lu Long, and the county government police, and set off overnight to quickly pursue Xinghua and the missing Wang Ma.
The four groups of people were arranged and set off immediately. They went to the four courtyard walls. Shang Tianying led some policemen and several family members to chase in the direction of the cattle pen.
At this time, the seven ladies led by the eldest lady Honeysuckle walked in a row towards the mourning shed. They were crying as they went, and the cries were already in unison. It is said that the daughter-in-law did not really shed tears, and at this time, the seven wives of the Liu Mansion were like singing a song in unison, and I don't know if they were really crying, fake crying or pretending......
Besides, Xinghua and Wang Ma teamed up and knocked Mrs. Liu down, thinking that she was just knocking her unconscious, but she didn't expect that the old lady should die. Ju then knocked his mind to a small stone on the ground, and the top of the small stone was sharp, and it was inserted into the back of the old lady's head. Moment. The blood stained the small stone on the ground of Liu's mansion red...... Then she "snorted" and died.
At this time, Xinghua, under the leadership of Wang Ma, had already run to the courtyard wall next to the cattle pen in the northeast corner of the courtyard of Liu's house. It was the last time I followed Erhu to Liu's Mansion to fight wolves. Xinghua followed Erhu to investigate the topography of Liu's Mansion. So she had no doubts about the direction in which Wang Ma was leading her to run. Of course. As the maid of Liu's Mansion, Wang's mother is also very familiar with the situation of Liu's Mansion, and she knows where she can cross the courtyard wall that is more than a foot high.
Due to the rush and fear, Xinghua and Wang Ma stood under the intersection of the cowpen and the courtyard wall of the Liu Mansion compound, panting breathlessly. After a while, they suddenly heard the shouts of the housekeeper, and Xinghua didn't dare to delay. First jumped onto the bullpen wall, because the cowpen wall was much shorter than the courtyard wall of Liu's mansion.
After the apricot blossom jumped on the wall of the cowpen. Stretched out his hand to drag Wang Ma up, and then the two of them climbed over the courtyard wall of Liu's mansion one by one, closed their eyes with courage, and slid down the wall more than a foot high......
At this time, the shouts of the family members came from the courtyard again: "Catch the apricot blossoms, the old man said, catch the apricot blossoms and get a reward!"
Xinghua and Wang Ma, who slipped outside the big wall, all fell heavily to the ground, and when they heard the shouts in the courtyard, they didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly stood up.
However, Wang's mother's body was too heavy, and she fell to the ground and fell hard, and she was just about to get up, but because of the unbearable pain in her buttocks, she sat down again. Xinghua reached out to pull her, but she didn't pull it up.
"Xinghua, you go first, leave me alone. Wang Ma pushed away the apricot blossom and said.
"No, I can't leave you behind, just bear with it and get up quickly. Xinghua said eagerly.
Wang Ma tried to move again, but still didn't get up, and at this time, the screams on the wall of Liu's courtyard were getting closer and closer.
Wang Ma pushed a handful of apricot blossoms again and said, "Leave me alone, it's too late if you don't run." Let's go, Xinghua, or we'll both get caught!"
Xinghua looked up and saw that there were a lot of human heads on the wall, she had no choice but to run by herself, and soon disappeared into the grassland in the dark.
Shang Tianying turned over and jumped, jumping over the wall more than a foot high to the ground, and then several more family members also jumped down, and one family member ran in front of Wang Ma and shouted excitedly: "Catch one!"
Shang Tianying ordered someone to hurriedly take Wang Ma back to Liu's mansion, and he led some of the family members to chase in the direction of Xinghua's escape.
But since this time was the darkest time before dawn, Shang Tianying didn't see Xinghua's whereabouts clearly, and just blindly chased after the grassland for a while.
It's almost dawn. The four groups of people sent by the Liu Mansion carried out a carpet search from house to house around the Liu Mansion, and Xiao Gushan fell into a terror. Suddenly, chickens and dogs barked, and the villagers messed up, breaking the dawn of clarity and tranquility.
Fortunately, Xinghua was familiar with the road, and ran out of the village and ran to the depths of the grassland. Xinghua is young, in good health, and runs very fast, she feels the wind in her ears, and she runs far away in an instant. The group led by Shang Tianying chased after him unhurriedly. They chased after them for a while, but still did not find the target, so they returned to Liu's mansion.
When they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a figure disappear in a flash. Shang Tianying asked a family member in Liu's house: "Brothers, have you seen a figure?"
"What a figure, a goblin deceitful. The guy muttered quietly.
In fact, Shang Tianying obviously saw something, and his heart was suddenly shocked, but he soon returned to normal, so he didn't see anything at all, didn't say anything anymore, and hurriedly went back to Liu's mansion to report to the county magistrate.
When Shang Tianying and the others left, the figure at the entrance of the village suddenly flashed out of the hidden place and walked towards the village quickly.
The barking of dogs and the noisy noise of people in Xiaogushan early in the morning alarmed Aunt Zhang, the neighbor of Erhu.
Aunt Zhang has heard the sound of a dog barking near Erhu's house since midnight last night, and it seems that someone from Erhu's house has come. Early this morning, I heard a strange dog barking, and I felt bad, so I walked into Erhu's house.
I saw that the inside and outside of Erhu's house were in a mess, the door panel was broken, and the papier-mâché windows were also smashed. There are two pairs of messy broken quilts on the kang, and the footprints in the yard are faintly discernible. Aunt Zhang was shocked, it's broken, could it be that something happened to Erhu's family? Erhu went out hunting, why are Erhu Niang and Xinghua gone?
Aunt Zhang shook her head, walked out of the yard in doubt, and suddenly walked over to a person, and when she saw Aunt Zhang, she asked, "Auntie, what about my mother and my sister-in-law?"
Only then did Aunt Zhang see that the person in front of her was Erhu, and she saw that he was wearing a big cotton jacket, his hair was messy, and he looked very embarrassed and haggard.
"Erhu, you're back. Eighty percent of your mother and your sister-in-law have an accident. Aunt Zhang said, shedding two lines of tears...... (To be continued......)
