Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

The bodies of those who ran out suddenly stopped, and then screamed heart-piercingly, fell to the ground and wailed in pain, and gradually turned into charred black corpses.

The people who were still in the yard were all in a mess, screaming and pushing.The black water on the ground is still spreading to the distance, like a continuously extending claw, ready to crush everyone at any time.

Gu Huai stared at everything in front of him with red eyes, feeling terrified in his heart.

Song Yushu was trembling violently, his face was full of horror, and he completely lost his usual elegance.

The ground in the yard not touched by the black water is getting smaller and smaller.People climbed onto roofs and trees one after another.

Gu Huai supported Song Yushu, whose legs were shaking and his legs were weak, suppressed the overwhelming fear in his heart, and said in a calm voice, "Uncle Song, I'll help you up first, it's too unsafe down here."

Song Yushu nodded, and tremblingly climbed up the wooden ladder to the roof with Gu Huai's support.

Gu Huai looked up, the roof and the trees were already crowded with people, leaving no room, so he had no choice but to stand on the wooden ladder.

In a blink of an eye, the ground in the yard was completely covered by black water, and several dark corpses were lying on the ground.Although there is only a layer of shriveled scorched skin left on the surface of the corpse, it can still be seen that each of them is suffering and distorted, and their expressions are forever frozen in the moment of the most fear.

Gu Huai clenched the wooden ladder with both hands, wondering why Erqing had been away for so long?If Erqing is here, then he must have a way to save everyone.

Hearing the almost desperate cries of the people above his head and the horrific corpses on the ground, he suddenly felt infinite self-blame and melancholy.

I blame myself for not being strong enough... If I could be stronger and have the same ability as Er Qing, then everyone would be saved.

I am so weak, no one can save me, maybe not too long, everyone will die here.

Gu Huai shook his head, shaking out the pessimistic and desperate thoughts in his mind.He raised his head and asked Song Yushu: "Uncle Song, what is going on? What do you mean by retribution?"

He clearly saw that Song Yushu's body trembled suddenly after hearing this.The doubts in Gu Huai's heart became even worse.

Song Yushu looked into the distance, and said in an old and hoarse voice: "Although family ugliness should not be publicized, since my nephew wants to hear it, then I will tell you."

"Actually, Ying'er, she is not my main wife. She is a concubine I brought into the mansion two years ago."

"My main wife, I heard that you had a relationship with her once."

Gu Huai was startled, and asked, "Could it be that person from the East Court..."

Song Yushu nodded: "That's right. After she got mad, she was locked up in the East Hospital."

"Insanity? Why do you have this disease?"

"That's a long story." Song Yushu glanced at Gu Huai, his eyes filled with sadness and helplessness, "I have been married to my wife for twenty years, and I have never had a son or a daughter. The doctor took some herbal medicine, and after drinking it for so many years, it still has little effect."

"To be honest, I'm over half a hundred years old. Seeing that my Song family has no descendants, I can't help feeling anxious. So I took a concubine named Hu Ying."

"In the beginning, Ying'er was brought to my house just to let her help me carry on the family line. Unexpectedly, Ying'er is young, beautiful, gentle and charming, and I am completely fascinated by Ying'er."

"In comparison, my wife in the main house is already old. Although she still has a bit of beauty, compared with the young Ying'er, she is like a heaven and a world."

"I became deeply infatuated with my concubine, so I gradually alienated my wife."

"However, God's will tricks people. A year ago, my wife in the house suddenly became pregnant. I have mixed feelings in my heart. Thinking that I can hold my son in my life, it is impossible to be unhappy. But with At the same time, there is still a trace of worry in my heart.”

"Ying'er, whom I dote on, failed to conceive a child, but the yellow-faced woman who has long bored me has a child... how I wish this child was conceived by Ying'er..."

"From then on, I suppressed the boredom in my heart and patiently accompanied my wife in the house every day. But I didn't expect that she would go further and threaten me to let me divorce Ying'er, otherwise she would lose her child."

"She did this, so that the last bit of guilt I had for her disappeared."

"That day, I resolutely walked out of the room amidst her endless hysteria. Later, it was reported that she committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake."

"I heard that after she jumped into the river, her 60-year-old mother also jumped. In the end, her daughter was rescued, but the old lady lost her life. Moreover, the child in my wife's womb also Didn't keep it."

"She lost her child, and her mother died. Since then, she has been devastated, and she has gone crazy. I thought she was noisy, so I locked her in the east courtyard, out of sight and out of mind."

After hearing this, Gu Huai stared at Song Yushu dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that this seemingly elegant and noble man could speak so confidently about his abandonment of his wretched wife, as if he himself had become the biggest victim.

Gu Huai's voice became cold, and he asked, "Whose body did you just dig up?"

Song Yushu closed his eyes: "It belongs to my drowned mother-in-law."

Gu Huai's voice was a little trembling: "You mean, you dug up the body of your mother-in-law and ordered someone to smash her up? What about your reverence for the dead?"

"Awe?" Song Yushu turned his head and stared at Gu Huai, his eyes seemed to be burning with anger, "She killed my favorite Yinger, and I still have a sense of awe for her? Let me tell you , I can't wait to cut that old monster and her bitch daughter into pieces!"

Gu Huai choked for a moment and looked at Song Yushu in disbelief. His lips moved and he murmured, "Do you know that you will kill us all..."

The anger in Song Yushu's eyes gradually extinguished, and he calmly looked into the distance, and said, "I'm really sorry, nephew, you are a good boy, and I got you into trouble. I'm sorry for you, and my brother Xianrong."

Gu Huai gritted his teeth and growled, "What's the use of talking so much now?"

Suddenly, there was a terrified scream: "Ladder, ladder!"

Gu Huai hurriedly looked back, only to see that black water was climbing up the ladder sticky.

There were several mournful wailings in the distance. It turned out that the black water had climbed up to the tree at some point and touched the people on the tree.

A few scorched black corpses fell out of the dense bushes, accompanied by the sound of branches snapping.

Gu Huai stared at the black water that was getting closer and closer to him, his heart was overwhelmed by endless fear and despair.
