My vest is not human [comprehensive martial arts]
Chapter 38 The Devil
Chu Liuxiang's suspicion could not be ruled out, Mrs. Jiang did not let him go, but arranged a place for him to stay overnight in Jiang's house.
So Chu Liuxiang took the cat and followed the servants to the room, and finally got a peaceful sleep.
Chu Liuxiang threw the cat at the foot of the bed and warned it not to go to bed.
Gu Anning narrowed his golden eyes, and jumped up with his hind legs. It arched its back, stepped on the soft mattress with its four feet, turned its back to Chu Liuxiang, and pointed its tail at his face, "Papa " Twice.
"He has a big temper." Chu Liuxiang turned his face helplessly, avoiding Gu Anning's tail, "Sleep, sleep, I won't drive you down."
Chu Liuxiang's body was already covered with cats, so she wasn't afraid to get closer to the black cat.It's just a pity for this bed. After being slept by a dirty person and a cat, I'm afraid it needs to be tidied up from beginning to end.
Gu Anning climbed onto Chu Liuxiang's chest—except for the abdomen, this position is the most comfortable.Here he can feel Chu Liuxiang's heartbeat, and the breath of life can always make people feel at ease, as if he is still alive, not a ghost who has returned to his soul.
Chu Liuxiang didn't close his eyes. He put his arm under his neck and looked at the roof quietly, "Cat, why did Jiang Hua kill his brother?"
Gu Anning flicked his tail and looked up at him, "Meow?"
He knew that Jiang Hua was the murderer because he had the memory of Jiang Ying before his death, and how did Chu Liuxiang know about it?
"I wonder if we can find some clues from Second Young Master Jiang's room." Chu Liuxiang said.
Gu Anning recalled the few memories.
The world is dark, the eyes are painful, and sticky liquid often flows out of the eye sockets.After he entered the house, he had been lying on the bed, and when the servants came in to deliver the food, he opened his mouth obediently and let the servants come and feed them.He has not yet recovered from his fear, even if he heard the news that the Bat Island was wiped out, and Yuan Suiyun fell off the cliff and his life was unknown, he still felt it was fake.
His eyes had not actually been gouged out, nor had his father died.The pain now is fake. When he woke up, he was still hunted down by Bat Island and had to continue to flee.
Jiang Ying couldn't accept the reality. Mrs. Jiang had always loved him. Even though she had just experienced the pain of losing her husband, she was able to hide her grief and comfort the child well.
Two days later, Jiang Hua knocked on his door, walked over to hold his hand, and said to Jiang Ying, "I have something I want to tell you."
Jiang Ying's eyes were covered with a white cloth, and the wound was gradually healing, but she still couldn't perceive light, and couldn't tell day from night.
He asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Hua said, "Come with me."
Although Jiang Ying was puzzled, she never doubted her elder brother.
His elder brother is timid and timid, he doesn't look like an elder brother at all, Jiang Ying was the one who was popular since childhood.When Jiang Hua was studying, he practiced martial arts. As he got older, the communication between the two brothers became less and less.
Because Jiang Hua is the eldest son, his parents put all their hopes on him.Jiang Ying didn't want to rely on her family, so she took the initiative to leave the house and go outside.Later, Jiang Hua married his wife. The sister-in-law had a surly personality, and she was very strict with Jiang Hua, and the relationship between the two brothers became even more distant.
Jiang Ying thought that her brother was trying to comfort herself, or ask about Bat Island.He didn't resist, grabbed Jiang Hua's warm palm, and walked out with him.
It hasn't been long since he lost his sight, and his martial arts are not too high. The dark world is extremely strange, and being able to return to Jiang's house from the outside is already his limit.Now that he went out with Jiang Hua, he felt even more at a loss. He had no other choice but to trust his brother.
After walking for a long time, Jiang Ying finally felt something was wrong.
He asked: "It's very quiet around here, brother, isn't this the way to the front hall?"
Jiang Hua suppressed his voice, "No."
Jiang Ying tilted her head, "Where are we going?"
Jiang Hua said, "You will know in a while."
Jiang Ying couldn't see the expression on her brother's face, and she didn't know that they were far away from Jiang's mansion and heading out of the city.
After a long time, Jiang Hua said, "Get in the carriage, be careful of the steps."
He put Jiang Ying's hand on the door frame of the carriage. Jiang Ying was even more puzzled, but she still groped into the carriage.
The carriage was running fast, and Jiang Ying felt uneasy. He called out to Jiang Hua a few times, but Jiang Hua ignored him coldly, and only told him, "You will know when you get there."
After getting off the car, Jiang Ying stood on the ground helplessly, not knowing where she was at all.
A sword pierced his abdomen, and warm liquid flowed out, very similar to what flowed out of his eyes.He tore off the white cloth covering his eyes, opened his eyes wide in disbelief, lost the support of the eyeballs, and couldn't open them no matter how hard he tried, instead causing the wound to rupture again.Jiang Ying yelled helplessly, but no one came to rescue him.
He could feel that Jiang Hua hadn't left, but Jiang Hua was extremely quiet, and all he could hear was his rapid breathing.
Jiang Hua killed Jiang Ying.
The white cloth covering the face was thrown into the river by him, and the murder weapon was also thrown into the river by him.
He dragged Jiang Ying's body, threw her into the City God's Temple not far away, changed himself into clean clothes, burned the old blood-stained clothes, and returned home as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Ying's body was in the Town God's Temple hundreds of miles away. He was wearing the clothes he had been alive and had a sword wound on his abdomen. Apart from that, what other clues could prove that Jiang Hua killed him?
Chu Liuxiang also knew that things were difficult.
He had investigated many such family disputes that resulted in fatalities, and he knew very well that even if there was evidence to prove that Jiang Hua was the murderer, Mrs. Jiang might not choose to continue the investigation.
She only has these two sons, and one son has already died, so is she going to send the other son to the prison?
Chu Liuxiang never kills people, because he believes that no one can decide the life and death of others.
He respects life and respects the law.
It's hard to imagine that he, a thief, would respect the law.
But the fact is that, even if the law is not perfect - as long as Mrs. Jiang does not report to the police and does not pursue the case, the murderer will not be punished.It is even possible to use money to buy the legal spokesperson in the government, so that the matter will not be revealed at all, and Jiang Hua's reputation can be maintained.
He sighed, and stroked the cat's chin more skillfully, "Cat, how do you think Mrs. Jiang will choose?"
"Meow?" Gu Anning responded suspiciously.
Chu Liuxiang laughed softly, and when he was lying on the bed laughing, his chest vibrated, and Gu Anning felt that the whole cat was surrounded by low-pitched laughter.
Chu Liuxiang said: "Sometimes I really feel that you can understand me."
Gu Anning stretched out her pink and tender tongue and licked her mouth.
Chu Liuxiang supported the kitten's front paws with both hands, held it in mid-air and looked at each other.
Gu Anning shook her ears uneasily, dragged out the tone, and said dissatisfiedly: "Meow~" Chu Liuxiang looked at it seriously, "What kind of role did you play in this matter?"
The kitten narrowed its eyes, but said nothing.
Chu Liuxiang put it down, and began to speculate half-jokingly, "You have shown hostility towards Jiang Hua and Mrs. Young, but you are very obedient when facing Mrs. Jiang. For the time being, I think you are the cat that Second Young Master Jiang secretly fed—— Could it be that you were wandering around the Jiang Mansion, being fed by Jiang Er Shao, remembering your kindness, and saw Jiang Er Shao being killed, followed silently, and went to the Temple of the City God?"
Gu Anning continued to lie on his chest, his tail twitching back and forth.
"If this is the case, is it possible that the young lady has something to do with this matter?" He began to recall, when he saw the young lady, her words and deeds.
Gu Anning didn't care about these.
He has not yet received Jiang Ying's complete obsession, and has already learned the basic process, so the details are not important.
No matter how many puzzles are left, the corpse will be delivered tomorrow and attached to the coffin before it is sealed.With Jiang Hua's timid nature, he couldn't help being scared out of his wits, asking what tricks?
As the night darkened, Gu Anning's tail flicked more and more slowly, and finally drooped on Chu Liuxiang's side, his body softened into a puddle of water, and he snored lightly.
The kitten slept soundly, but Chu Liuxiang couldn't bear to disturb it.
He didn't talk to the cat any more, closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly.
· Just after noon, the coffin arrived at the Jiang Mansion.
The house was full of gloom, Gu Anning was held in Chu Liuxiang's arms, and after talking to Mrs. Jiang, she began to search the room of Second Young Master Jiang.
White talismans and white lanterns are everywhere, Father Jiang's funeral is not long past, and the character "Dian" on the mansion has not had time to be removed.Gu Anning, who had no memory or obsession, was not greatly affected, nor did she associate this scene with her own death.He just lay quietly in Chu Liuxiang's arms, thinking about what to do in a while.
Chu Liuxiang was very vigilant and did not let him touch the corpse.So we had to find a suitable time, and if it didn't work out, we had to wait until night and sneak out after people fell asleep.
The cat's body is very flexible, relatively speaking, its strength is much smaller.If Jiang Ying's coffin was sealed with coffin nails, it would be difficult for him to open the coffin again.
Jiang Ying's death was not normal, the steps of encoffining were much fewer, and there were more taboos.Gu An Ning, the kitten, was invited out. Chu Liuxiang was afraid that the kitten would run away, and wanted to take a look at Jiang Ying's appearance after cleaning, so she got rid of the servants to take care of Gu An Ning, and stayed in the main hall.
All the relatives and friends of the Jiang family came, and the neighbors also came to help.All the people with little relationship remained in the yard, only a dozen or so people were present in the main hall, no one spoke, and all had solemn expressions.
Jiang Ying was lying in the black coffin, she had changed her clothes, and her face was tidied up a little, she finally looked like a human being.
Mrs. Jiang held a handkerchief and solemnly wiped Jiang Ying's cheeks and hands, and arranged his hands neatly.
Chu Liuxiang looked at it for a while, only to feel that the depression in Jiang Ying's eye sockets was more obvious, other than that, she didn't see anything different from before.The ceremony was going on, Chu Liuxiang couldn't quit halfway, so she also had a serious expression, quietly feeling the sadness in this room.
Gu Anning escaped from Chu Liuxiang's grasp, feeling extremely happy.
He didn't know where the servants of the Jiang family were going to carry him, but there was no need to delay, when Chu Liuxiang came back, it would be too late to run away.
Gu An Ning squeezed out gradual nails from the pads, and suddenly used all four limbs to scratch at the servant who was holding him.
He is not an ordinary cat, he is full of Yin Qi.In order not to bear cause and effect, Gu Anning calculated very carefully, ensuring that he did not touch the servant's skin, but only cut a seam in his clothes.
The servant was frightened, and as soon as he let go of his holding hand, Gu Anning seized the opportunity to jump out, burrowed into the grass a few times and disappeared.
After getting rid of the human pursuit, Gu Anning tiptoed back to the main hall where the corpses were placed.
With soft flesh pads, he can easily restrain his voice without being noticed by the people below.
Gu Anning tilted her body and lay on the tiles.
Except for Chu Liuxiang, other people's martial arts are not good, so they can't help him at all.As long as Chu Liuxiang left, he could take the opportunity to go down, rush into the coffin, and return to Jiang Ying.
After the ceremony was over, Gu Anning heard an undisguised cry of grief. Apart from Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Hua and Mrs. Young, there were other people crying. Gu Anning had no memory and did not recognize any of them.
He half-closed his eyes and looked down. After seeing a long moving shadow on the ground, he was startled and turned his head suddenly, only to see his own tail.
Gu Anning: "..."
Stepping back, Gu Anning tried hard to hug the tail with her paws to keep it from moving.
After the crying ended, people came out of the house one after another, including Chu Liuxiang.
He came to Jiang's mansion by accident, and he was not familiar with other people except for a few masters of Jiang's family.At this moment, the masters of the Jiang family are still in the front hall.
Chu Liuxiang stood at the door. Seeing a group of busy servants passing by, she took the initiative to walk forward, with a smile on her lips, and saluted: "I have met all the girls. I would like to ask, there is a little brother named Jiang De, who hugged me The cat who is walking below, do the girls know where Jiang De went?"
The little girls blushed, and one of them said, "I've seen it! It turns out that the cat belongs to you. It looks so pretty. Brother Jiang De should have gone to the kitchen, maybe looking for food for the cat."
Chu Liuxiang cupped his hands, "Thank you."
He walked down the path, and the group of girls left too.
Gu Anning looked at the tip of her tail which was moving restlessly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He lightly jumped off the eaves and ran into the main hall.
Before it was time to close the coffin, the corpse in the coffin should have been processed, and the smell of the corpse became very light. If Gu Anning was not a cat at the moment, he probably wouldn't be able to smell it.
After he came in, the three masters present immediately saw it.
The young lady supported her waist, and kicked Jiang Hua, "How can you let a beast come in, blow it out!"
"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to throw it out." Jiang Hua still remembered the abnormality of the black cat, and was a little scared about it.He didn't dare to look at the cat, but walked to the door and called the nurse outside to come in and chase the cat away.
The young lady snorted coldly and scolded, "A wimp, why did I marry you, a wimp? You're even afraid of cats, what else can you do?"
Gu Anning glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and found that her expression had become displeased, but she didn't stop talking.
Gu Anning stepped on the catwalk and came to the coffin.
Mrs. Jiang's expression changed, and she hurried over, trying to hug him, "What do you cat want?"
Gu Anning dodged her hand, jumped into the coffin, and disappeared in an instant.
"Ah!" The young lady saw the cat jumping in from a distance, pointed at the coffin and said to the guard who had just arrived, "The cat ran into the coffin! You guys go catch it out!"
Two strong men came to the coffin, looked inside, and found that there were no so-called cats except for the second young master who had been dead for several days.
The two asked Mrs. Jiang in a daze, "Ma'am... really a cat got into the coffin? Or is it because the young lady is blind?"
Mrs. Jiang moved her mouth, but before she could make a sound, the person lying in the coffin suddenly moved.
With his eyes still closed, he stretched his arms and slowly sat up.
The young lady screamed immediately, regardless of her pregnancy, she ran behind Jiang Hua, trembling and choking, "He, he didn't die?"
Jiang Hua was also shocked. He really wanted to answer what his wife said, but he couldn't find his own voice anyway, and his body was shaking constantly.
The two nursing homes were closest to Gu Anning. After picking up the corpse, he quickly pulled out the knife from his waist and protected Mrs. Jiang behind him, but his expression was equally terrified.
They forget that there are people coming and going outside the mourning hall, and every hair on their bodies is touched by the corpse that suddenly sat up, as if they were cut off from people, and they may be dragged into hell by him at any time.
Only Mrs. Jiang, after a brief surprise, quickly came back to her senses. She had just cried a while ago, and she should have vented her sorrow, but when she saw Gu Anning sitting up, her tears fell uncontrollably. .
"Ying'er..." she called out.
Gu Anning tilted her head, opened her mouth, and said in a vague voice, "Mother."
"You, aren't you dead?" Jiang Hua finally spoke smoothly, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Anning in disbelief, "How, how could this be..."
Gu Anning stood up from the coffin, the corpse spots on his body gradually disappeared, but fresh blood flowed from his abdomen and eyes.
Corpses don't bleed, that's what he looks like when he dies.
Although he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see. He walked towards Jiang Hua, and the voice in his throat was hoarse and dull, "Why kill me?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Hua backed away tremblingly, and the young lady who was hiding behind him, after a brief period of sluggish consciousness, quickly reacted and sneaked to the door, trying to escape from this terrible place.
Jiang Hua tried to appease his anger, he pulled out an ugly smile, "I am your elder brother, how could I kill you so possibly? Did you make a mistake?"
"Why kill me?" Gu Anning seemed to have not heard his explanation, and repeated it again. A few days after his death, his hair and nails had grown a lot, and he did not change them back, and the wind blew them away. Putting his freshly combed bun into a bun, with black hair fluttering behind him, he stretched out his hand, revealing his bruised nails, grabbed Jiang Hua's neck, and lifted him up completely.
"Why kill me?"
Jiang Hua tried his best to break his hands, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape.As Gu Anning's strength increased, he gradually became out of breath, and even if he wanted to speak, he could only make a sound of "ho ho".He pinned his last hope on his mother, tried his best to restrain his rolled eyes, and cast a look of help to his mother.
"Ying'er, let him go." Mrs. Jiang put away her tears, her voice sounded extremely calm, but if you observe carefully, you will find the helplessness and grief she tried to hide.
Her youngest son was actually killed by the eldest son.
She is not a piece of wood without feelings, even if she loves her younger son no matter how much she loves her, she still has affection for her elder son.
But she really didn't know what to do...
The eldest son is weak by nature, and her husband died of illness not long ago. If even she collapses, who can I count on to support the family?
Count on the white-eyed wolf that Jiang Hua married?
Gu Anning obeyed Mrs. Jiang's words and let go of her hand.
Jiang Hua lost his restraint, fell to the ground, and kept coughing while holding his throat.
Mrs. Jiang said, "Twenty-seven times evil... My son has become a evil spirit, and he knows how to listen to his mother."
"Mother! Cough cough..." Jiang Hua said, "He has turned into a ghost, you cough, are you still facing him?"
"He's your brother!" Mrs. Jiang was furious and gave him a hard look, she didn't dare to look at Gu Anning.As long as she sees Gu Anning's tightly closed eyes and the blood continuously flowing from his body, she can't help but think about what this child went through before he died.Gu Anning's well-behaved and sensible made her heartache even more. She already believed that Jiang Hua killed him. For a mother, she could not accept such a fact.
"Why did you kill me?" Gu Anning's expression was light, but the words were still on his lips.
He approached Jiang Hua again and reached out his hand.
Jiang Hua finally realized that Gu Anning was not conscious at the moment.Even though Mrs. Jiang could save him when she was around, she couldn't keep him forever.
This is his karma.
Jiang Hua knelt and crawled, avoiding Gu Anning's hand, the feeling of suffocation has not dissipated, he really doesn't want to experience it again.
He ran to Mrs. Jiang and cried, "Mother, save me, he is going to kill me, save me! I am your son too..."
"Why did he kill you?" Mrs. Jiang said in a cold tone, "Tell the truth! Yinger has no grievances with you, why did he kill you?"
"Because..." Jiang Hua choked with tears, "I killed him."
At this time, Chu Liuxiang came from outside, and along with him came the guards of the Jiang family.
After seeing the Second Young Master who had come back from the dead, the guards all showed timidity and did not dare to step forward.
Although Chu Liuxiang had never seen Jiang Ying in his lifetime, he had seen his portrait and recognized him immediately.
He really didn't expect that there really are ghosts in this world, and he saw them with his own eyes.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward slowly into the mourning hall, and then Jiang Hua asked, "Why did you kill him?"
"It's Xiuniang! It was Xiuniang who asked me to kill him!" In the face of life and death, Jiang Hua had no mood to cherish his image.He knelt beside Mrs. Jiang's legs, trying to follow her to block Gu Anning.
After the words were spoken, Gu Anning faced Jiang Hua's direction, blood and tears kept flowing from his eyes, but his forward steps stopped.
Jiang Hua continued, "Xiu Niang said to me, Mother never liked me, she only loved my younger brother. My father died, and I should inherit the family property, but my younger brother came back at this time, and he was blind again. Feeling sorry for him, he gave away a large part of the money to support his younger brother to marry a wife and have children, and support his wife and children to spend his old age in peace. He is just a blind and useless person who has robbed me so much, but wants me to support him—— " His voice stopped abruptly.
Because Mrs. Jiang couldn't listen anymore, she slapped him hard, "How can you think like that? He is your brother! Besides, why has he ever fought with you for anything?!"
So Chu Liuxiang took the cat and followed the servants to the room, and finally got a peaceful sleep.
Chu Liuxiang threw the cat at the foot of the bed and warned it not to go to bed.
Gu Anning narrowed his golden eyes, and jumped up with his hind legs. It arched its back, stepped on the soft mattress with its four feet, turned its back to Chu Liuxiang, and pointed its tail at his face, "Papa " Twice.
"He has a big temper." Chu Liuxiang turned his face helplessly, avoiding Gu Anning's tail, "Sleep, sleep, I won't drive you down."
Chu Liuxiang's body was already covered with cats, so she wasn't afraid to get closer to the black cat.It's just a pity for this bed. After being slept by a dirty person and a cat, I'm afraid it needs to be tidied up from beginning to end.
Gu Anning climbed onto Chu Liuxiang's chest—except for the abdomen, this position is the most comfortable.Here he can feel Chu Liuxiang's heartbeat, and the breath of life can always make people feel at ease, as if he is still alive, not a ghost who has returned to his soul.
Chu Liuxiang didn't close his eyes. He put his arm under his neck and looked at the roof quietly, "Cat, why did Jiang Hua kill his brother?"
Gu Anning flicked his tail and looked up at him, "Meow?"
He knew that Jiang Hua was the murderer because he had the memory of Jiang Ying before his death, and how did Chu Liuxiang know about it?
"I wonder if we can find some clues from Second Young Master Jiang's room." Chu Liuxiang said.
Gu Anning recalled the few memories.

Two days later, Jiang Hua knocked on his door, walked over to hold his hand, and said to Jiang Ying, "I have something I want to tell you."
Jiang Ying's eyes were covered with a white cloth, and the wound was gradually healing, but she still couldn't perceive light, and couldn't tell day from night.
He asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Hua said, "Come with me."
Although Jiang Ying was puzzled, she never doubted her elder brother.
His elder brother is timid and timid, he doesn't look like an elder brother at all, Jiang Ying was the one who was popular since childhood.When Jiang Hua was studying, he practiced martial arts. As he got older, the communication between the two brothers became less and less.

Chu Liuxiang was afraid that the kitten would run away, and wanted to take a look at Jiang Ying's appearance after cleaning, so she got rid of the servants to take care of Gu An Ning, and stayed in the main hall.
All the relatives and friends of the Jiang family came, and the neighbors also came to help.All the people with little relationship remained in the yard, only a dozen or so people were present in the main hall, no one spoke, and all had solemn expressions.
Jiang Ying was lying in the black coffin, she had changed her clothes, and her face was tidied up a little, she finally looked like a human being.
Mrs. Jiang held a handkerchief and solemnly wiped Jiang Ying's cheeks and hands, and arranged his hands neatly.
Chu Liuxiang looked at it for a while, only to feel that the depression in Jiang Ying's eye sockets was more obvious, other than that, she didn't see anything different from before.The ceremony was going on, Chu Liuxiang couldn't quit halfway, so she also had a serious expression, quietly feeling the sadness in this room.
Gu Anning escaped from Chu Liuxiang's grasp, feeling extremely happy.
He didn't know where the servants of the Jiang family were going to carry him, but there was no need to delay, when Chu Liuxiang came back, it would be too late to run away.
Gu An Ning squeezed out gradual nails from the pads, and suddenly used all four limbs to scratch at the servant who was holding him.
He is not an ordinary cat, he is full of Yin Qi.In order not to bear cause and effect, Gu Anning calculated very carefully, ensuring that he did not touch the servant's skin, but only cut a seam in his clothes.
The servant was frightened, and as soon as he let go of his holding hand, Gu Anning seized the opportunity to jump out, burrowed into the grass a few times and disappeared.
After getting rid of the human pursuit, Gu Anning tiptoed back to the main hall where the corpses were placed.
With soft flesh pads, he can easily restrain his voice without being noticed by the people below.
Gu Anning tilted her body and lay on the tiles.
Except for Chu Liuxiang, other people's martial arts are not good, so they can't help him at all.As long as Chu Liuxiang left, he could take the opportunity to go down, rush into the coffin, and return to Jiang Ying.
After the ceremony was over, Gu Anning heard an undisguised cry of grief. Apart from Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Hua and Mrs. Young, there were other people crying. Gu Anning had no memory and did not recognize any of them.
He half-closed his eyes and looked down. After seeing a long moving shadow on the ground, he was startled and turned his head suddenly, only to see his own tail.
Gu Anning: "..."
Stepping back, Gu Anning tried hard to hug the tail with her paws to keep it from moving.
After the crying ended, people came out of the house one after another, including Chu Liuxiang.
He came to Jiang's mansion by accident, and he was not familiar with other people except for a few masters of Jiang's family.At this moment, the masters of the Jiang family are still in the front hall.
Chu Liuxiang stood at the door. Seeing a group of busy servants passing by, she took the initiative to walk forward, with a smile on her lips, and saluted: "I have met all the girls. I would like to ask, there is a little brother named Jiang De, who hugged me The cat who is walking below, do the girls know where Jiang De went?"
The little girls blushed, and one of them said, "I've seen it! It turns out that the cat belongs to you. It looks so pretty. Brother Jiang De should have gone to the kitchen, maybe looking for food for the cat."
Chu Liuxiang cupped his hands, "Thank you."
He walked down the path, and the group of girls left too.
Gu Anning looked at the tip of her tail which was moving restlessly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He lightly jumped off the eaves and ran into the main hall.
Before it was time to close the coffin, the corpse in the coffin should have been processed, and the smell of the corpse became very light. If Gu Anning was not a cat at the moment, he probably wouldn't be able to smell it.
After he came in, the three masters present immediately saw it.
The young lady supported her waist, and kicked Jiang Hua, "How can you let a beast come in, blow it out!"
"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to throw it out." Jiang Hua still remembered the abnormality of the black cat, and was a little scared about it.He didn't dare to look at the cat, but walked to the door and called the nurse outside to come in and chase the cat away.
The young lady snorted coldly and scolded, "A wimp, why did I marry you, a wimp? You're even afraid of cats, what else can you do?"
Gu Anning glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and found that her expression had become displeased, but she didn't stop talking.
Gu Anning stepped on the catwalk and came to the coffin.
Mrs. Jiang's expression changed, and she hurried over, trying to hug him, "What do you cat want?"
Gu Anning dodged her hand, jumped into the coffin, and disappeared in an instant.
"Ah!" The young lady saw the cat jumping in from a distance, pointed at the coffin and said to the guard who had just arrived, "The cat ran into the coffin! You guys go catch it out!"
Two strong men came to the coffin, looked inside, and found that there were no so-called cats except for the second young master who had been dead for several days.
The two asked Mrs. Jiang in a daze, "Ma'am... really a cat got into the coffin? Or is it because the young lady is blind?"
Mrs. Jiang moved her mouth, but before she could make a sound, the person lying in the coffin suddenly moved.
With his eyes still closed, he stretched his arms and slowly sat up.
The young lady screamed immediately, regardless of her pregnancy, she ran behind Jiang Hua, trembling and choking, "He, he didn't die?"
Jiang Hua was also shocked. He really wanted to answer what his wife said, but he couldn't find his own voice anyway, and his body was shaking constantly.
The two nursing homes were closest to Gu Anning. After picking up the corpse, he quickly pulled out the knife from his waist and protected Mrs. Jiang behind him, but his expression was equally terrified.
They forget that there are people coming and going outside the mourning hall, and every hair on their bodies is touched by the corpse that suddenly sat up, as if they were cut off from people, and they may be dragged into hell by him at any time.
Only Mrs. Jiang, after a brief surprise, quickly came back to her senses. She had just cried a while ago, and she should have vented her sorrow, but when she saw Gu Anning sitting up, her tears fell uncontrollably. .
"Ying'er..." she called out.
Gu Anning tilted her head, opened her mouth, and said in a vague voice, "Mother."
"You, aren't you dead?" Jiang Hua finally spoke smoothly, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Anning in disbelief, "How, how could this be..."
Gu Anning stood up from the coffin, the corpse spots on his body gradually disappeared, but fresh blood flowed from his abdomen and eyes.
Corpses don't bleed, that's what he looks like when he dies.
Although he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see. He walked towards Jiang Hua, and the voice in his throat was hoarse and dull, "Why kill me?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Hua backed away tremblingly, and the young lady who was hiding behind him, after a brief period of sluggish consciousness, quickly reacted and sneaked to the door, trying to escape from this terrible place.
Jiang Hua tried to appease his anger, he pulled out an ugly smile, "I am your elder brother, how could I kill you so possibly? Did you make a mistake?"
"Why kill me?" Gu Anning seemed to have not heard his explanation, and repeated it again. A few days after his death, his hair and nails had grown a lot, and he did not change them back, and the wind blew them away. Putting his freshly combed bun into a bun, with black hair fluttering behind him, he stretched out his hand, revealing his bruised nails, grabbed Jiang Hua's neck, and lifted him up completely.
"Why kill me?"
Jiang Hua tried his best to break his hands, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape.As Gu Anning's strength increased, he gradually became out of breath, and even if he wanted to speak, he could only make a sound of "ho ho".He pinned his last hope on his mother, tried his best to restrain his rolled eyes, and cast a look of help to his mother.
"Ying'er, let him go." Mrs. Jiang put away her tears, her voice sounded extremely calm, but if you observe carefully, you will find the helplessness and grief she tried to hide.
Her youngest son was actually killed by the eldest son.
She is not a piece of wood without feelings, even if she loves her younger son no matter how much she loves her, she still has affection for her elder son.
But she really didn't know what to do...
The eldest son is weak by nature, and her husband died of illness not long ago. If even she collapses, who can I count on to support the family?
Count on the white-eyed wolf that Jiang Hua married?
Gu Anning obeyed Mrs. Jiang's words and let go of her hand.
Jiang Hua lost his restraint, fell to the ground, and kept coughing while holding his throat.
Mrs. Jiang said, "Twenty-seven times evil... My son has become a evil spirit, and he knows how to listen to his mother."
"Mother! Cough cough..." Jiang Hua said, "He has turned into a ghost, you cough, are you still facing him?"
"He's your brother!" Mrs. Jiang was furious and gave him a hard look, she didn't dare to look at Gu Anning.As long as she sees Gu Anning's tightly closed eyes and the blood continuously flowing from his body, she can't help but think about what this child went through before he died.Gu Anning's well-behaved and sensible made her heartache even more. She already believed that Jiang Hua killed him. For a mother, she could not accept such a fact.
"Why did you kill me?" Gu Anning's expression was light, but the words were still on his lips.
He approached Jiang Hua again and reached out his hand.
Jiang Hua finally realized that Gu Anning was not conscious at the moment.Even though Mrs. Jiang could save him when she was around, she couldn't keep him forever.
This is his karma.
Jiang Hua knelt and crawled, avoiding Gu Anning's hand, the feeling of suffocation has not dissipated, he really doesn't want to experience it again.
He ran to Mrs. Jiang and cried, "Mother, save me, he is going to kill me, save me! I am your son too..."
"Why did he kill you?" Mrs. Jiang said in a cold tone, "Tell the truth! Yinger has no grievances with you, why did he kill you?"
"Because..." Jiang Hua choked with tears, "I killed him."
At this time, Chu Liuxiang came from outside, and along with him came the guards of the Jiang family.
After seeing the Second Young Master who had come back from the dead, the guards all showed timidity and did not dare to step forward.
Although Chu Liuxiang had never seen Jiang Ying in his lifetime, he had seen his portrait and recognized him immediately.
He really didn't expect that there really are ghosts in this world, and he saw them with his own eyes.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward slowly into the mourning hall, and then Jiang Hua asked, "Why did you kill him?"
"It's Xiuniang! It was Xiuniang who asked me to kill him!" In the face of life and death, Jiang Hua had no mood to cherish his image.He knelt beside Mrs. Jiang's legs, trying to follow her to block Gu Anning.
After the words were spoken, Gu Anning faced Jiang Hua's direction, blood and tears kept flowing from his eyes, but his forward steps stopped.
Jiang Hua continued, "Xiu Niang said to me, Mother never liked me, she only loved my younger brother. My father died, and I should inherit the family property, but my younger brother came back at this time, and he was blind again. Feeling sorry for him, he gave away a large part of the money to support his younger brother to marry a wife and have children, and support his wife and children to spend his old age in peace. He is just a blind and useless person who has robbed me so much, but wants me to support him—— " His voice stopped abruptly.
Because Mrs. Jiang couldn't listen anymore, she slapped him hard, "How can you think like that? He is your brother! Besides, why has he ever fought with you for anything?!"
