Lady Dijun is a flower
Chapter 38 "What are you doing!"
Hua Ci rushed forward and grabbed Ming Tong's wrist, snatching the hairpin from his hand, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Just now he suddenly remembered that there was not enough firewood in the stove, and wanted to ask Qing Zuo if he should go to the bamboo forest to chop some bamboo, but when he turned around, he saw this shocking scene.
The end of the hairpin was very pointed, obviously polished.If it is inserted into the flesh, even if it does not die, it will be painful.This child looks pure and innocent, why is his mind so vicious.
Hua Ci held the hairpin in front of Ming Tong, and asked loudly: "We have no grievances with you, why did you hurt someone!"
The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere just now was gone, Qing Zuo looked at the hairpin and saw no waves in his eyes, but Hua Ci could not forgive him.Human beings are not sages and sages. Mistakes can be forgiven, but it also depends on what kind of mistakes they make.
Stealing is a shame for a gentleman. If he doesn't understand this truth, he can be taught slowly, but harming others and killing someone is not done by a good person. Even if he has no one to teach him, he should understand.What's more, I can be regarded as kind to him. He hurt his family like this, and he will take revenge.
Stared at by Huaci's shadowy eyes, Ming Tong shrank her neck in fear, buried her head behind Qing Zuo, shrugged her shoulders and began to cry.
"That hairpin was left to me by my mother before she died. She looks very nice when she wears it on weekdays. Seeing how beautiful my elder brother is, it's like giving the hairpin to him. I really didn't do anything wrong... Huh..."
The young body lay on Qing Zuo's body, weeping hoarsely, anyone who saw this appearance would feel pity in his heart.But Hua Ci hesitated, after all, he was deceived by this little guy's crying just now before he took the initiative to protect him.
Some monsters in the monster clan are good at changing into beautiful and weak appearances, pretending to be weak and helpless to win the sympathy of others.
"You're lying! The end of this hairpin is so sharp, how could it be on your head?"
Mingtong was choked up out of breath, and raised his head, his big clear eyes were a little red and swollen from crying.He pointed to the hairpin and said: "My family is poor by weaving some linen for a living, and the family can't afford crochet needles, so my mother polished this hairpin into this shape, so it can be used for weaving. If you don't believe me, bring the hemp thread, and I can do it in person. Weaving for you to see."
Ming Tong's tone was swearing, but Hua Ci still didn't dare to believe it all, looking at Qing Zuo, "Are you okay?"
Qingzuo put down Mingtong on his back, took a look at the hairpin in Huaci's hand, and asked Mingtong: "You want to send me?"
"Ok!"
"Thank you, I accept this gift." After speaking, he put the hairpin into his cuff.
Qingzuo's reaction surprised Huaci, and he accepted the hairpin without any doubt?With the benefactor's cold temperament, even if he gave it away in a serious manner, he might not want it, let alone accepting something from a child for no reason under such weird circumstances.
And it was something that could be a weapon to hurt him.
Ming Tong saw that Qing Zuo put the hairpin into his cuffs, and was also momentarily absent-minded. He blinked his big round eyes at random, and looked at Qing Zuo with a bright smile, "Why don't you bring it, big brother? You must wear it." Prettier than my mother."
Obviously the whole face was smiling so brightly, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
Huaci looked at Mingtong's clenched fist behind him and shuddered.
There is really something wrong with this child. He is obviously a six or seven-year-old doll. How can he be so dark inside?What's more, Qing Zuo didn't have any feud with him, so why did he confront each other when they met.Does this count as luring a wolf into the house...
After Qingzuo went to cook in the kitchen, Huaci wanted to secretly discuss something with him, but Mingtong kept pestering him.It's quite a big head to make Huaci.
Before, he just felt that the child was clingy, but after he attacked Qing Zuo with a hairpin, Huaci felt very upset, and his attitude became much colder.
"You take the bouquet and go to the yard to play by yourself, brother still has things to do." After speaking, he turned around and went to Qing Zuo.
Seeing Huaci turning and leaving without mercy, the smile on Mingtong's face changed instantly, like a flame being extinguished by ice water, completely cold.He threw the flower ball in his hand and hit Hua Ci on the head.
The bouquet was woven with rattan, with many colorful threads wrapped around it, so although it looked big but not heavy, even if it hit him, it was just a little numb, but the moment the bouquet hit the top of Huaci's head, he felt It was so painful that he gasped.
It was as painful as being hit by an iron ball.
"what are you doing!"
Huaci picked up the flower ball on the ground and looked at Mingtong behind him, but cold sweat dripped from his forehead instantly when he was shocked by the child's eyes. This is not a child's eyes, it is clearly like a person who crawled out of the [-]th floor of hell of evil spirits.
"You said you would be with me forever, why did you abandon me? If you don't keep your promise, I will be very angry."
Ming Tong walked towards Huaci step by step, the indescribable sense of oppression made Huaci want to turn around and run immediately, but for some reason, her body couldn't move, as if she had been fixed in place by a freeze spell.
At that moment, he clearly realized that this child is not a mortal!
Looking at Ming Tong standing in front of her, Hua Ci clearly felt the horror for the first time.Unfortunately it was too late.
Xixi with Yu.
Seeing the little hand stretched out towards him by Ming Tong standing on tiptoe, Huaci closed her eyes in panic, and waited with bated breath, but after waiting for a long time, she only felt a soft spot caressing around her cheek, and her body didn't feel any discomfort.
He opened a small slit in fear, and found that Ming Tong was wiping away the tears left on his face little by little, with a curious look on his face.
"Brother, why are you crying?"
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the water on Huaci's face. He put some of it in his mouth and tasted it out of curiosity, then frowned, "Strange, why your tears are not sweet like those people's. But Like nectar, it tastes so good."
He stretched out his little hand and wanted to taste a little more, but the person who appeared behind Hua Ci grabbed his wrist.
Hua Ci turned around and saw Qing Zuo who did not know when to appear, tears suddenly fell uncontrollably, and her feet were too weak to support her body and fell on the other party.Holding Qing Zuo's clothes with both hands, the demon pattern on the back of the hand is faintly visible, as if exhausting all the strength in his body.
Sometimes people are like this, one person can pretend to be strong, but when they are around another person, they become very weak.
Hua Ci sobbed and buried her head in Qing Zuo's arms, crying very aggrieved, as if blaming him for why he came.
"Sorry." Qing Zuo smoothed the long hair of the person in his arms, looked up at the bright pupils in front of him, the glazed eyes seemed to be covered with frost.
Emotions and anger are invisible, and it is suitable for him, but those who are familiar with him know that when he is really angry, the temperature in a thousand miles around will drop suddenly.Just like when the Battle of Breaking Night was over, the moment the dawn broke, the mountains and rivers in the midsummer of July were instantly covered by ice, and even the Golden Crow in the Nine Layers of Heaven was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
If it wasn't for those gods to remind him, maybe the whole mortal world would be made like Fanzhou Ridge by him.
Ming Tong was forced by the cold air around Qing Zuo, and took a step back, but her expression was not frightened, but as if she had discovered something interesting, she looked at Qing Zuo opposite in surprise, and the hand behind her back was already quietly clenched something on the lower back.
"Does Big Brother want to play with us?"
Qing Zuo hugged Huaci, and just looked at him silently, without moving his expression.Huaci was very angry, raised the flower ball in his hand and threw it at Mingtong, "Whoever wants to play with you, you are a villain, and you will get revenge, get out of my house!"
Because Huaci was so frightened just now, it didn't take much strength to throw the bouquet, and it was easy to grab it, but Mingtong didn't hide, just stood there and let him hit it.
Seeing the flower ball rolling aside, Ming Tong squatted on the ground and hugged her head tightly.
"You are afraid of me, brother. In fact, I have been different from other children since I was born. I can override the human body, and they will do whatever I ask them to do. My parents hate me very much because of this. They scold me. I'm a monster, you told me to get out of the house, and told the villagers that I'm not their own, that's why the children in the village started calling me Xiao Yezhong."
Speaking of this, Mingtong raised his head from his arms, looked at Huaci and showed a sad smile, "I just want to have a family who will never abandon me. I'm sorry Huaci, I scared you. It's probably like what parents said As you said, I am indeed a harmful demon."
He picked up the bouquet on the ground and walked towards the door step by step. His immature and young figure was reflected on the bluestone board in the yard by the setting sun. He was alone and looked extraordinarily lonely.
Hua Ci was really terrified just now, and she was determined to drive the child out, but seeing him leave so obediently now, she still couldn't bear it.
No wonder Bai Ling said that he has a bodhisattva heart and a goblin body, and he is almost unable to protect himself, and he still wants to save sentient beings everywhere.To put it bluntly, a broken car is easy to collect debts, and you are overwhelmed.
Hua Ci pulled Qing Zuo's sleeve, and after Ming Tong went out, he immediately ran over to close the door and heaved a sigh of relief.Perhaps this child was really stimulated by something when he was young. Otherwise, people are originally good, so how could he become so cruel and dark for no reason? I have to talk to the old village chief tomorrow about Mingtong .
"Another person was killed in the village today." Hua Ci poured Qing Zuo a cup of tea and handed it over, "Did he break through the barrier and come in?"
Qing Zuo took the teacup and shook his head.
"No, he has been hiding in Yuhuai Village, and killed another pregnant woman last night. The method is similar, the lower abdomen is hollowed out by a sharp weapon, but there is no evil spirit in the room. But what is different from yesterday is that around the body Lots of chestnuts scattered about."
Qing Zuo moved his eyes down, looking thoughtfully at the finished chestnut shells on the table.Huaci suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Do you suspect that Mingtong is the murderer?"
Qing Zuo didn't comment, but Hua Ci believed most of it. The murderer was not a liar but Ming Tong?But yesterday he did hear the sound of Bai Xiaoxiao.Is there any connection between Ming Tong and that liar...
Chapter 39 Thinking that the reason why Mingtong's temperament is so bad may be related to that liar, Huaci felt even more uneasy. This big devil has no choice but to harm an ignorant and ignorant child.
Besides, he was looking for trouble again and again, could it be that he still didn't give up trying to trick Qing Zuo into Ban Zehuang?But what is his purpose in doing this?
Thinking of the unknown danger approaching Qing Zuo, Hua Ci felt tightness in his chest and uncomfortable throbbing pain in his stomach.He wrapped his arms around his abdomen, hiding his uncomfortable expression without any trace, trying to find a reason to leave for a while, but Qing Zuo grabbed his wrist.
Hua Ci turned her head and smiled dryly at him, "Actually, I'm just a little hungry."
"come over."
"Oh."
He stood obediently opposite Qing Zuo, and when he saw Qing Zuo raised his hand and put it on his abdomen, a ray of spiritual light was outlined little by little along the outline of the palm, and his whole body was warm, like a stream of warm water flowing along every joint of the trunk. Branches and leaves, throbbing pain is gone.
Hua Ci carefully touched Zuo Zuo's palm, and was suddenly amazed, "You can also cure stomach pain?"
"It's not a stomachache, it's a loss of spiritual power. The fetus in the womb is warning you."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Huaci poked the protruding part of his stomach, probably because his physical structure is different from that of ordinary people. It has been four months, and he has not seen a big bulge, but it is slightly more protruding than the original flat stomach. If people see it, they will think that they have eaten too much.
Usually activities are not important, but growing so slowly, I don't know when I can meet the little dolls.
After absorbing enough spiritual power, the branches and leaves of Huaci stretched out, and the whole body became lazy. With his hands resting on his chin, he narrowed his eyes sleepily, trying not to fall asleep.
"Then what should we do, are we going to get Mingtong back?"
In case that child is really instigated by a liar to use his abilities to kill people, he must be stopped as soon as possible.
Qing Zuo shook his head, "I can't find it now. Yesterday I asked the village head to check the roster of the villagers who visited the ancestral hall, but there were still victims last night. I checked it again this morning. I found that all the people on the roster were indeed gathered in the ancestral hall yesterday without any omissions, but I didn't see anyone named Mingtong."
Hua Ci quickly sucked the saliva that reached his mouth.
"Of course I can't find it. I just gave him the name Mingtong. He said he forgot his original name, but who knows, maybe he just won't tell me."
While talking, Huaci suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and the teacup on the table was almost swept to the ground by his.
"Are you saying that Mingtong is not on the roster at all? Could it be...that child is not from Yuhuai Village at all!"
"It's possible."
"Then let's go to the old village head and ask, maybe he knows what's going on with Ming Tong!"
Qing Zuo looked at Hua Ci's sleepy red eyes, raised his hand and gently touched the red marks on both sides of his cheeks, "But I see you are very sleepy."
"Oh, why not be sleepy at this time, mother-in-law, someone will die later!"
Thinking that Mingtong might be wandering around a certain house at this moment, staring at the pregnant woman in the room with a cold smile, Huaci wanted to rush over and arrest him.
Anxious, he yelled directly, but Qing Zuo was taken aback for a moment, it was the first time Hua Ci spoke to him so loudly.
Huaci looked at Qing Zuo's thoughtful eyes and looked at her body, only to realize whether his behavior just now was too impolite, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I didn't mean to yell at you, I was just a little anxious."
Qing Zuo didn't take it seriously, he pursed his lips and smiled, got up and followed him out the door, "You were always very restrained before, but that was fine just now, you can express what you want, that is your freedom, no one can restrict it."
"Do you think it's good that I just yelled like that?"
Hua Ci quickly followed Qing Zuo, recalling how he looked just now, he wanted to dig a hole to get in, shouldn't it be the appearance of a gentleman like a benefactor that attracts people's liking, yelling is like a reckless man, always Feel off the table.
Didn't the benefactor say that because he was afraid of embarrassing himself?
The old village chief was carrying a package on his shoulders, as if he had just rushed home from outside, when he saw Qing Zuo and Hua Ci coming, he quickly ran a few steps, opened the door of the house, and invited them in.
"Village chief, are you going out?"
The old village chief had a vicissitudes of life, and changed into a long gown, with a lot of hay on his back, "I'm going to report to the officials, one after another, even if it's caused by monsters, I have to report to the higher authorities."
Seeing the tired expression of the old village chief, Huaci felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, we didn't catch the murderer in time."
"Hey, what does it have to do with you. You are not gods, you are just mortals like us. Gods don't care, so what can you do?"
This attitude is completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, I was so excited that I swallowed a golden fairy, and I couldn’t get up when I kowtowed. Today, you are just mortals, and you are just as helpless in front of monsters.
Such a gap made Hua Ci a little ashamed, but Qing Zuo, the real Jinxian descending to earth, was calm and calm, accepting the ridicule at this moment as calmly as when he accepted the pilgrimage yesterday.True honor and disgrace.
Hua Ci suddenly felt a little emotional. Before he met Qing Zuo, he always felt that gods are existences that stand tall and lofty, and they are beyond reach.They wave their sleeves to become the wind, and the rain falls with the snap of their fingers. They are the masters of the six realms.But after seeing it with my own eyes, I discovered that the gods are not omnipotent, they will also be injured and suffer, and they also have emotions and desires just like monsters and mortals, and they will be troubled by various worldly problems.
People worship the gods, worshiping and kneeling constantly, hoping to obtain the blessing and protection of the gods, but they don't know that the gods are also vulnerable.People in the world take it for granted that gods must be invincible, and that vulnerability is the sin of gods, and they shouldn't have it.
Sitting on the chair, Huaci was still a little dazed at first, but when he looked up and saw Kiyosaku looking at him, he immediately remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly opened his mouth.
"By the way, the village chief, is there a seven or eight-year-old boy in this village? When the floods washed away, they always stole other people's things to eat."
The old village head was a little puzzled when he heard Huaci's description at first, but after listening to a few words carefully, his face suddenly became very ugly.A pair of old hands like pine bark were trembling.
"You're not talking about the kid from Hei San'er's family, are you?"
"Hei San'er?" Hua Ci urged excitedly: "Old village chief, please explain carefully!"
The old village chief seemed unwilling to bring it up, but because Hua Ci kept asking, he had to briefly explain the matter, and repeatedly emphasized: "Hey, it's all old things. The matter of Hei San'er is also something that is not seen in our village. People's scandals, you just need to listen to them at my house, and don't mention them again when you leave this door.
……
Three years ago, there was a well-known ruffian in this village. He heard that his parents were arrested and beheaded by the yamen for committing crimes.He can also be regarded as inheriting his father's career, usually eats too much, is lazy and does nothing, and only does some dirty and deceitful activities.
In addition, he has a wide waist, a fat body, and a fat face. The big girls and daughter-in-laws in the village will walk around in circles when they see him, and even honest men are unwilling to work with him.
Because his mother gave birth to him and was taken into custody by the government within a month, so he didn't have a name. He only knew that he was the third child in the family, and he had two older brothers.People have been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and their skin is as dark as coal, so they got the nickname "Black Three".
Apart from robbing the house to make a living, the black third has no business at ordinary times, and no family is willing to betroth their daughter to him when he is approaching the age of marriage.Later, at Yazi, I met a young lady who had run away from home. She was as beautiful as a flower, and she was called Peugeot.It was almost love at first sight for Hei San, and he immediately pooled ten taels of silver with those cronies to buy her home.
Unexpectedly, less than a month after buying it home, Hei San found out that she was pregnant, and the child was three months old.
That black three is not the one who is at a disadvantage, he immediately grabbed that tooth and beat him up, thinking that he would dare to cheat the young master ten taels of silver after playing!
Yazi also complained that he was wronged, after all, he had never touched this person when he was abducted.He doesn't have piercing eyes, how can he tell that this young lady is already pregnant.
Afterwards, this matter was settled, but the lady did not have a good day in the hands of Hei San'er.Going to the mountains to open up wasteland during the day, and doing needlework when I go back at night, my body, which was originally warm and fragrant, was exhausted in less than a year, and my temper became more and more moody.
The most pitiful thing belongs to that child, Hei San'er originally planned to kick that child away, but that child is also hard-fought, and after all these repeated tossings, he still stayed in his stomach well.Later, he took abortion pills, and the adult almost died of pain, but he didn't see what happened to the child.
Even the doctor advised Hei San'er not to beat the baby, otherwise his ten taels of silver would be wasted.
After the child was born, Hei San'er threw him outside the door. It was winter and it was still snowy outside. He deliberately didn't want the child to live.But he didn't expect that after hearing the cries, he uncontrollably carried him back and put him on the warm kang in the house, wrapped him in a quilt, and asked his wife to feed him milk.
Afterwards, the more Hei San'er thought about it, the weirder it became. This is not a child, but a monster!
He plugged the ears with cotton pads, and threw the child into the kennel. He deliberately didn't feed the dog for several days, just waiting for the dog to eat the little bastard.But something unexpected happened again. The ferocious wolf dog took the child as his own puppy, and ran out of the yard to fetch a lot of bacon for him.
After going through so many things, Hei San'er suddenly changed his mind, maybe this little bastard can take advantage of it.
Chapter 40 Hei San'er discovered that this child is born with the ability to manipulate external objects, not only people, but even cats, dogs, flowers and plants will be affected, and this ability will become stronger and stronger with age.
At first it was through sound, and later it could be achieved directly with thoughts. It was almost unsuccessful, and it was indeed a sharp weapon for killing people.
So Hei San'er changed his mind, and started to take the child to rob houses together. Now he didn't have to do anything himself, and let the child control the opponent directly so that he could do whatever he wanted, and he could rob a lot without bloodshed.
Based on this, Hei San'er treated the child a little better, but only slightly.Just like his own dog, if he is happy, he will throw a piece of meat to let him taste the sweetness. If he is not happy, he will just beat him to death with fists and kicks, and he will not be regarded as a human being at all.
But no matter how cruelly Hei San'er treats that child, he still respects him as his biological father.
He always looked at Hei San'er secretly, treasured the gadgets he threw to him on a whim like treasures, and imagined that one day he would be loved by his parents like other children in the village.
But those in the know know that that day will never come.In such a situation, even ordinary people would have suspicions, let alone Hei San'er, a thug who did all kinds of evil.
Probably because Hei San'er's life is getting better and better, and he no longer makes things difficult for his wife as usual, and buys her some nice clothes to wear on a whim. Losing face is not.
Later, perhaps because the living conditions improved, the woman's body gradually recovered, and she conceived another child within half a year.This made Hei San'er so happy, he changed his old attitude, never went out to look for flowers and ask willows, just stayed at home to greet his wife.
They also bought a lot of gadgets for unborn children, such as tiger-toed shoes, small windmills, and silver bells hanging on the wrists and ankles.Put them on the table and play with each piece every day, imagining what the family will look like after the birth of your own flesh and blood.
And that child who had been neglected all the time, who had been scolded since he was a child, had never seen such a novel thing, while Hei San'er was away, he climbed to the table and secretly picked up a rattle and carefully played with it.Unexpectedly, his mother, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly stood behind him, grabbed his clothes and threw them on the ground, scolding him loudly.
If the child's biological father hadn't abandoned her, she, a weak woman, would not have run so far away from her hometown, and then been abducted by those teeth, reduced to such a situation, married to a local ruffian and managed to survive.
The woman had been tortured by Hei San'er for a long time and became insane. She immediately vented her anger on this child, beat and scolded him, and directly smashed the rattle to pieces.
When Hei San'er came home at night and saw the trampled things on the ground, he decided that it was the child who did it. He didn't care about the bloody hands of the child already trampled by his mother, and beat him up again.The child died that night before he survived, and was thrown into a mass grave overnight by Heisan.
The next day, Hei San'er lied to others that he had sold the child to a wealthy family in the city as an adopted son, but the villagers all knew that the child was probably killed by him, otherwise Hei San'er would have been killed by him. With an insatiable desire for beating, he wished to make that child a cow and a horse for the rest of his life, so how could he kindly let him go to a wealthy family to enjoy the happiness.
But even if everyone knew about it, no one dared to stand up and complain.After all, the other party is a rascal Hei San'er, and when that child was around, he also helped Hei San'er do a lot of bad things, even if he made an unintentional mistake, he was helping the evildoer.
Some people even secretly rejoiced that maybe the child was a monster.
In less than a month, there was a sudden flood in the village, and many houses were washed away by the water. Fortunately, the evacuation was timely and there were not many casualties. Only Hei Saner and his wife died in the collapsed house. Well, when the yamen sent people to clean up the corpse, the body was smashed to the point that it could not be seen as a human being.
Especially on that woman, there was a huge blood hole in her abdomen, which didn't look like it was punched out.
But there is no evidence around, so the matter will not be resolved, but everyone in the village rumors that the child who died in vain came to take revenge.After all, the anomalies on the corpse were obvious to all, and the entire courtyard of Hei San'er's house was covered by ruins. Why was the couple killed by crushing, while the dog in the yard was unscathed.
Thinking about the reasons behind this gives me chills down the spine.
"That's all the old man knows. The two young masters must remember it, and don't mention it after leaving this door."
The old village head was sweating all the time when he said it, and he had to look out the window from time to time, as if he always felt that there was another person peeping around the house.
Hua Ci couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see that the wind outside the window seemed to be getting louder and louder, as if something was blowing and hitting the window frame with a rattling sound.
Hua Ci and Qing Zuo looked at each other, "There seems to be something outside."
Qing Zuo nodded slightly, "Indeed."
"Then I'll go take a look."
Just as Hua Ci was about to get up, Qing Zuo rushed ahead of him and pushed the window open, only to see a seven-foot-high summoning banner was inserted outside the window of the village chief's house, wrapped with white cloth strips, blowing with the sound of the wind Tapping on the papered window.On the window paper, there were countless bloody handprints imprinted on it, which at first glance combined into a huge "death" character.
The handprints are closely arranged and have different shapes and postures, but they feel very urgent, as if they were formed by slapping the window in an extremely irritable or angry situation.Each handprint is only about three inches long, obviously a child's hand.
"Yes, that kid from Hei San'er's family is back! He's back!"
The old village chief looked at the bloody handprints on his window and the soul-calling banner on the ground, and exclaimed, almost dying of fright.
Hua Ci hurriedly supported him, staring at the imprint on the window with frowning eyes, her voice suddenly dropped.
"You didn't tell the truth about that child. It's because you concealed the most important part that he was so angry and knocked on your window."
Hua Ci lifted the collar of the old village chief, his eyes were cold, "I will ask again, what is the truth about that incident back then. If you still don't tell me, no one can save you tonight. After all, as As the village chief said, we are nothing but mortals, and even gods are unwilling to save you, so we are helpless."
Speaking of this, Hua Ci looked at the old village head's terrified face and showed a weird smile, which frightened the latter even more.The little boy who looked a little silly at first, suddenly turned into a different person, even more terrifying than the big boy.
Kiyosaku, who was watching from the side, curled the corners of his mouth with great interest. Although the obedient kitten is nice, it's better to have some minions.
The old village head was almost driven out of his wits by the successive incidents. Under the intimidation of Hua Ci, he finally broke the last line of defense in his heart and took them to the mass grave at the foot of the West Mountain.
It turned out that after the child's death, many strange things happened one after another in the village. Many families would find that there was an extra person in the house at night for no reason.
For example, when eating, there are obviously five pairs of chopsticks for three children and two adults, but at the end of the distribution, one pair will be missing, and when I look back, I see a child I don't know standing behind.And when sleeping, two children sleep in one bed, and an extra head will appear in the middle of it in a short while.
Although the ghost didn't do anything bad, the villagers couldn't stand being so scared all the time in the middle of the night.So everyone went outside to invite a powerful celestial master, and pressed the child's soul under the pagoda tree in the mass grave.It really worked in this way, and I never heard of any weird things in the village.
The old village head brought Hua Ci and the others to the mass grave, and saw an unusually lush pagoda tree growing on the unstoried grave, which was covered with light red pagoda flowers.
Standing under the tree, Hua Ci lightly touched the surface of the bark, and could feel the blood flowing inside the trunk.The scorching heat flowed continuously to the branches of this locust tree.
Huaci was startled, and raised his hand to break off a branch of the locust tree, only to see a steady stream of blood gushing out of the stalk.
Sure enough, everything in the world has a cause and an effect.
He put down his hand, turned around and looked at the solitary tomb, and suddenly wanted to meet the scenes of Mingtong in his mind.No wonder his temperament is so extreme, it is all thanks to you.
"Actually, the child was not beaten to death back then, but just passed out. Hei San'er was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he buried him alive in a mass grave in a hurry. Maybe the sudden death of Hei San'er and his wife was indeed related to him, but It can be regarded as a wronged person and a debtor, he only wanders in the villagers' homes because he is greedy for the warmth of his family, why do you want to put him to death?"
"I, we didn't, we just asked the Heavenly Master to take him in!" The old village chief argued loudly for himself.
Hua Ci laughed, his voice was deep, not like his usual tone, especially when he was behind his back at this moment, people had the illusion that the person in front of him was being robbed.
"It's just accepted? It seems that the celestial master you invited is not a benevolent person. The locust tree bound the child's body in the tomb and sucked his blood. The body that was originally alive is probably half dead now." .” Yuxi exclusive.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the half-person tall wild grass swayed crazily.Qing Zuo held Huaci in his arms. The old village chief was terrified and wanted to run to them, but he was hit by a black shadow oncoming. He immediately knelt down in pain and shouted loudly pain.
Looking under the full moonlight, it turned out to be a palm-wide flower ball, which was exactly the one that Hua Ci gave to Ming Tong.
Hua Ci walked over to pick up the flower balls on the ground, and shouted to the surrounding grass: "Ming Tong! Ming Tong, are you here? Can you come out to see my brother, let's go home and play flower balls and tell stories together... ..."
After shouting against the howling cold wind for a while, the sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and a piece of wild grass fell to the sides in front of Hua Ci, making way for an endless path leading to the depths of this mass grave.
Chapter 41 Hua Ci shook his head towards Qing Zuo who was behind him, and whispered: "Don't follow, he will be vigilant, I will go by myself."
Qing Zuo just looked at him, didn't say yes or no, and didn't follow him.Huaci only thought that he agreed, and walked deep along the road paved among the grass with the flower ball in his arms.
The people buried in this mass grave are all wanderers who have wandered here. They have no relatives and no family history, and no one has prepared coffins for their funerals.
When a kind-hearted person inserts a wooden sign and writes a few words on it, it also tells others to stop trampling on it.And it would be nice if most of the corpse collectors could fill the pit with soil firmly, not even burying a bag of soil.Hua Ci walked through the grass, always feeling as if a pair of hands would sneak out and grab his ankles.
Although he was scared in his heart, he couldn't back down. If he didn't even go, Ming Tong would really be hopeless.
"Mingtong, where are you? Hurry up and go back with your brother, okay? Let's leave here together and go to a place where no one bullies you."
Huaci carefully paid attention to the surrounding environment as he walked. He was not sure where Ming Tong was. Although the child had a miserable life experience, but now he was heartbroken by those villagers. Not sure if Mingtong will make any drastic moves towards him.
It doesn't matter if you want to hurt him, anyway, the grass monster can't do anything else, but the ability to regenerate is absolutely unmatched by no monster.But there is still a baby in his belly, so he must be careful.
I don't know where the end of this path leads. Huaci only feels that the weeds around are getting scarcer as I go forward, and the soil under my feet becomes more and more moist. Every step I take, I can hear the gurgling water. Voice.
Huaci looked down and saw that most of the shoe was covered with mud. Isn't this mass grave at the bottom of the mountain? How could there be so much water?
In doubt, Huaci stopped in his tracks, and he suddenly didn't dare to go on.
"Ming Tong, can you come out? The road ahead is difficult, so my brother won't pass. You come here and my brother will take you home."
After he finished shouting this sentence, he didn't see Ming Tong, but a distant and ethereal flute sound came from the endless darkness ahead, the familiar whirling sound
Just now he suddenly remembered that there was not enough firewood in the stove, and wanted to ask Qing Zuo if he should go to the bamboo forest to chop some bamboo, but when he turned around, he saw this shocking scene.
The end of the hairpin was very pointed, obviously polished.If it is inserted into the flesh, even if it does not die, it will be painful.This child looks pure and innocent, why is his mind so vicious.
Hua Ci held the hairpin in front of Ming Tong, and asked loudly: "We have no grievances with you, why did you hurt someone!"
The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere just now was gone, Qing Zuo looked at the hairpin and saw no waves in his eyes, but Hua Ci could not forgive him.Human beings are not sages and sages. Mistakes can be forgiven, but it also depends on what kind of mistakes they make.
Stealing is a shame for a gentleman. If he doesn't understand this truth, he can be taught slowly, but harming others and killing someone is not done by a good person. Even if he has no one to teach him, he should understand.What's more, I can be regarded as kind to him. He hurt his family like this, and he will take revenge.
Stared at by Huaci's shadowy eyes, Ming Tong shrank her neck in fear, buried her head behind Qing Zuo, shrugged her shoulders and began to cry.
"That hairpin was left to me by my mother before she died. She looks very nice when she wears it on weekdays. Seeing how beautiful my elder brother is, it's like giving the hairpin to him. I really didn't do anything wrong... Huh..."
The young body lay on Qing Zuo's body, weeping hoarsely, anyone who saw this appearance would feel pity in his heart.But Hua Ci hesitated, after all, he was deceived by this little guy's crying just now before he took the initiative to protect him.
Some monsters in the monster clan are good at changing into beautiful and weak appearances, pretending to be weak and helpless to win the sympathy of others.
"You're lying! The end of this hairpin is so sharp, how could it be on your head?"
Mingtong was choked up out of breath, and raised his head, his big clear eyes were a little red and swollen from crying.He pointed to the hairpin and said: "My family is poor by weaving some linen for a living, and the family can't afford crochet needles, so my mother polished this hairpin into this shape, so it can be used for weaving. If you don't believe me, bring the hemp thread, and I can do it in person. Weaving for you to see."
Ming Tong's tone was swearing, but Hua Ci still didn't dare to believe it all, looking at Qing Zuo, "Are you okay?"
Qingzuo put down Mingtong on his back, took a look at the hairpin in Huaci's hand, and asked Mingtong: "You want to send me?"
"Ok!"
"Thank you, I accept this gift." After speaking, he put the hairpin into his cuff.
Qingzuo's reaction surprised Huaci, and he accepted the hairpin without any doubt?With the benefactor's cold temperament, even if he gave it away in a serious manner, he might not want it, let alone accepting something from a child for no reason under such weird circumstances.
And it was something that could be a weapon to hurt him.
Ming Tong saw that Qing Zuo put the hairpin into his cuffs, and was also momentarily absent-minded. He blinked his big round eyes at random, and looked at Qing Zuo with a bright smile, "Why don't you bring it, big brother? You must wear it." Prettier than my mother."
Obviously the whole face was smiling so brightly, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
Huaci looked at Mingtong's clenched fist behind him and shuddered.
There is really something wrong with this child. He is obviously a six or seven-year-old doll. How can he be so dark inside?What's more, Qing Zuo didn't have any feud with him, so why did he confront each other when they met.Does this count as luring a wolf into the house...
After Qingzuo went to cook in the kitchen, Huaci wanted to secretly discuss something with him, but Mingtong kept pestering him.It's quite a big head to make Huaci.
Before, he just felt that the child was clingy, but after he attacked Qing Zuo with a hairpin, Huaci felt very upset, and his attitude became much colder.
"You take the bouquet and go to the yard to play by yourself, brother still has things to do." After speaking, he turned around and went to Qing Zuo.
Seeing Huaci turning and leaving without mercy, the smile on Mingtong's face changed instantly, like a flame being extinguished by ice water, completely cold.He threw the flower ball in his hand and hit Hua Ci on the head.
The bouquet was woven with rattan, with many colorful threads wrapped around it, so although it looked big but not heavy, even if it hit him, it was just a little numb, but the moment the bouquet hit the top of Huaci's head, he felt It was so painful that he gasped.
It was as painful as being hit by an iron ball.
"what are you doing!"
Huaci picked up the flower ball on the ground and looked at Mingtong behind him, but cold sweat dripped from his forehead instantly when he was shocked by the child's eyes. This is not a child's eyes, it is clearly like a person who crawled out of the [-]th floor of hell of evil spirits.
"You said you would be with me forever, why did you abandon me? If you don't keep your promise, I will be very angry."
Ming Tong walked towards Huaci step by step, the indescribable sense of oppression made Huaci want to turn around and run immediately, but for some reason, her body couldn't move, as if she had been fixed in place by a freeze spell.
At that moment, he clearly realized that this child is not a mortal!
Looking at Ming Tong standing in front of her, Hua Ci clearly felt the horror for the first time.Unfortunately it was too late.
Xixi with Yu.
Seeing the little hand stretched out towards him by Ming Tong standing on tiptoe, Huaci closed her eyes in panic, and waited with bated breath, but after waiting for a long time, she only felt a soft spot caressing around her cheek, and her body didn't feel any discomfort.
He opened a small slit in fear, and found that Ming Tong was wiping away the tears left on his face little by little, with a curious look on his face.
"Brother, why are you crying?"
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the water on Huaci's face. He put some of it in his mouth and tasted it out of curiosity, then frowned, "Strange, why your tears are not sweet like those people's. But Like nectar, it tastes so good."
He stretched out his little hand and wanted to taste a little more, but the person who appeared behind Hua Ci grabbed his wrist.
Hua Ci turned around and saw Qing Zuo who did not know when to appear, tears suddenly fell uncontrollably, and her feet were too weak to support her body and fell on the other party.Holding Qing Zuo's clothes with both hands, the demon pattern on the back of the hand is faintly visible, as if exhausting all the strength in his body.
Sometimes people are like this, one person can pretend to be strong, but when they are around another person, they become very weak.
Hua Ci sobbed and buried her head in Qing Zuo's arms, crying very aggrieved, as if blaming him for why he came.
"Sorry." Qing Zuo smoothed the long hair of the person in his arms, looked up at the bright pupils in front of him, the glazed eyes seemed to be covered with frost.
Emotions and anger are invisible, and it is suitable for him, but those who are familiar with him know that when he is really angry, the temperature in a thousand miles around will drop suddenly.Just like when the Battle of Breaking Night was over, the moment the dawn broke, the mountains and rivers in the midsummer of July were instantly covered by ice, and even the Golden Crow in the Nine Layers of Heaven was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
If it wasn't for those gods to remind him, maybe the whole mortal world would be made like Fanzhou Ridge by him.
Ming Tong was forced by the cold air around Qing Zuo, and took a step back, but her expression was not frightened, but as if she had discovered something interesting, she looked at Qing Zuo opposite in surprise, and the hand behind her back was already quietly clenched something on the lower back.
"Does Big Brother want to play with us?"
Qing Zuo hugged Huaci, and just looked at him silently, without moving his expression.Huaci was very angry, raised the flower ball in his hand and threw it at Mingtong, "Whoever wants to play with you, you are a villain, and you will get revenge, get out of my house!"
Because Huaci was so frightened just now, it didn't take much strength to throw the bouquet, and it was easy to grab it, but Mingtong didn't hide, just stood there and let him hit it.
Seeing the flower ball rolling aside, Ming Tong squatted on the ground and hugged her head tightly.
"You are afraid of me, brother. In fact, I have been different from other children since I was born. I can override the human body, and they will do whatever I ask them to do. My parents hate me very much because of this. They scold me. I'm a monster, you told me to get out of the house, and told the villagers that I'm not their own, that's why the children in the village started calling me Xiao Yezhong."
Speaking of this, Mingtong raised his head from his arms, looked at Huaci and showed a sad smile, "I just want to have a family who will never abandon me. I'm sorry Huaci, I scared you. It's probably like what parents said As you said, I am indeed a harmful demon."
He picked up the bouquet on the ground and walked towards the door step by step. His immature and young figure was reflected on the bluestone board in the yard by the setting sun. He was alone and looked extraordinarily lonely.
Hua Ci was really terrified just now, and she was determined to drive the child out, but seeing him leave so obediently now, she still couldn't bear it.
No wonder Bai Ling said that he has a bodhisattva heart and a goblin body, and he is almost unable to protect himself, and he still wants to save sentient beings everywhere.To put it bluntly, a broken car is easy to collect debts, and you are overwhelmed.
Hua Ci pulled Qing Zuo's sleeve, and after Ming Tong went out, he immediately ran over to close the door and heaved a sigh of relief.Perhaps this child was really stimulated by something when he was young. Otherwise, people are originally good, so how could he become so cruel and dark for no reason? I have to talk to the old village chief tomorrow about Mingtong .
"Another person was killed in the village today." Hua Ci poured Qing Zuo a cup of tea and handed it over, "Did he break through the barrier and come in?"
Qing Zuo took the teacup and shook his head.
"No, he has been hiding in Yuhuai Village, and killed another pregnant woman last night. The method is similar, the lower abdomen is hollowed out by a sharp weapon, but there is no evil spirit in the room. But what is different from yesterday is that around the body Lots of chestnuts scattered about."
Qing Zuo moved his eyes down, looking thoughtfully at the finished chestnut shells on the table.Huaci suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Do you suspect that Mingtong is the murderer?"
Qing Zuo didn't comment, but Hua Ci believed most of it. The murderer was not a liar but Ming Tong?But yesterday he did hear the sound of Bai Xiaoxiao.Is there any connection between Ming Tong and that liar...
Chapter 39 Thinking that the reason why Mingtong's temperament is so bad may be related to that liar, Huaci felt even more uneasy. This big devil has no choice but to harm an ignorant and ignorant child.
Besides, he was looking for trouble again and again, could it be that he still didn't give up trying to trick Qing Zuo into Ban Zehuang?But what is his purpose in doing this?
Thinking of the unknown danger approaching Qing Zuo, Hua Ci felt tightness in his chest and uncomfortable throbbing pain in his stomach.He wrapped his arms around his abdomen, hiding his uncomfortable expression without any trace, trying to find a reason to leave for a while, but Qing Zuo grabbed his wrist.
Hua Ci turned her head and smiled dryly at him, "Actually, I'm just a little hungry."
"come over."
"Oh."
He stood obediently opposite Qing Zuo, and when he saw Qing Zuo raised his hand and put it on his abdomen, a ray of spiritual light was outlined little by little along the outline of the palm, and his whole body was warm, like a stream of warm water flowing along every joint of the trunk. Branches and leaves, throbbing pain is gone.
Hua Ci carefully touched Zuo Zuo's palm, and was suddenly amazed, "You can also cure stomach pain?"
"It's not a stomachache, it's a loss of spiritual power. The fetus in the womb is warning you."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Huaci poked the protruding part of his stomach, probably because his physical structure is different from that of ordinary people. It has been four months, and he has not seen a big bulge, but it is slightly more protruding than the original flat stomach. If people see it, they will think that they have eaten too much.
Usually activities are not important, but growing so slowly, I don't know when I can meet the little dolls.
After absorbing enough spiritual power, the branches and leaves of Huaci stretched out, and the whole body became lazy. With his hands resting on his chin, he narrowed his eyes sleepily, trying not to fall asleep.
"Then what should we do, are we going to get Mingtong back?"
In case that child is really instigated by a liar to use his abilities to kill people, he must be stopped as soon as possible.
Qing Zuo shook his head, "I can't find it now. Yesterday I asked the village head to check the roster of the villagers who visited the ancestral hall, but there were still victims last night. I checked it again this morning. I found that all the people on the roster were indeed gathered in the ancestral hall yesterday without any omissions, but I didn't see anyone named Mingtong."
Hua Ci quickly sucked the saliva that reached his mouth.
"Of course I can't find it. I just gave him the name Mingtong. He said he forgot his original name, but who knows, maybe he just won't tell me."
While talking, Huaci suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and the teacup on the table was almost swept to the ground by his.
"Are you saying that Mingtong is not on the roster at all? Could it be...that child is not from Yuhuai Village at all!"
"It's possible."
"Then let's go to the old village head and ask, maybe he knows what's going on with Ming Tong!"
Qing Zuo looked at Hua Ci's sleepy red eyes, raised his hand and gently touched the red marks on both sides of his cheeks, "But I see you are very sleepy."
"Oh, why not be sleepy at this time, mother-in-law, someone will die later!"
Thinking that Mingtong might be wandering around a certain house at this moment, staring at the pregnant woman in the room with a cold smile, Huaci wanted to rush over and arrest him.
Anxious, he yelled directly, but Qing Zuo was taken aback for a moment, it was the first time Hua Ci spoke to him so loudly.
Huaci looked at Qing Zuo's thoughtful eyes and looked at her body, only to realize whether his behavior just now was too impolite, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I didn't mean to yell at you, I was just a little anxious."
Qing Zuo didn't take it seriously, he pursed his lips and smiled, got up and followed him out the door, "You were always very restrained before, but that was fine just now, you can express what you want, that is your freedom, no one can restrict it."
"Do you think it's good that I just yelled like that?"
Hua Ci quickly followed Qing Zuo, recalling how he looked just now, he wanted to dig a hole to get in, shouldn't it be the appearance of a gentleman like a benefactor that attracts people's liking, yelling is like a reckless man, always Feel off the table.
Didn't the benefactor say that because he was afraid of embarrassing himself?
The old village chief was carrying a package on his shoulders, as if he had just rushed home from outside, when he saw Qing Zuo and Hua Ci coming, he quickly ran a few steps, opened the door of the house, and invited them in.
"Village chief, are you going out?"
The old village chief had a vicissitudes of life, and changed into a long gown, with a lot of hay on his back, "I'm going to report to the officials, one after another, even if it's caused by monsters, I have to report to the higher authorities."
Seeing the tired expression of the old village chief, Huaci felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, we didn't catch the murderer in time."
"Hey, what does it have to do with you. You are not gods, you are just mortals like us. Gods don't care, so what can you do?"
This attitude is completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, I was so excited that I swallowed a golden fairy, and I couldn’t get up when I kowtowed. Today, you are just mortals, and you are just as helpless in front of monsters.
Such a gap made Hua Ci a little ashamed, but Qing Zuo, the real Jinxian descending to earth, was calm and calm, accepting the ridicule at this moment as calmly as when he accepted the pilgrimage yesterday.True honor and disgrace.
Hua Ci suddenly felt a little emotional. Before he met Qing Zuo, he always felt that gods are existences that stand tall and lofty, and they are beyond reach.They wave their sleeves to become the wind, and the rain falls with the snap of their fingers. They are the masters of the six realms.But after seeing it with my own eyes, I discovered that the gods are not omnipotent, they will also be injured and suffer, and they also have emotions and desires just like monsters and mortals, and they will be troubled by various worldly problems.
People worship the gods, worshiping and kneeling constantly, hoping to obtain the blessing and protection of the gods, but they don't know that the gods are also vulnerable.People in the world take it for granted that gods must be invincible, and that vulnerability is the sin of gods, and they shouldn't have it.
Sitting on the chair, Huaci was still a little dazed at first, but when he looked up and saw Kiyosaku looking at him, he immediately remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly opened his mouth.
"By the way, the village chief, is there a seven or eight-year-old boy in this village? When the floods washed away, they always stole other people's things to eat."
The old village head was a little puzzled when he heard Huaci's description at first, but after listening to a few words carefully, his face suddenly became very ugly.A pair of old hands like pine bark were trembling.
"You're not talking about the kid from Hei San'er's family, are you?"
"Hei San'er?" Hua Ci urged excitedly: "Old village chief, please explain carefully!"
The old village chief seemed unwilling to bring it up, but because Hua Ci kept asking, he had to briefly explain the matter, and repeatedly emphasized: "Hey, it's all old things. The matter of Hei San'er is also something that is not seen in our village. People's scandals, you just need to listen to them at my house, and don't mention them again when you leave this door.
……
Three years ago, there was a well-known ruffian in this village. He heard that his parents were arrested and beheaded by the yamen for committing crimes.He can also be regarded as inheriting his father's career, usually eats too much, is lazy and does nothing, and only does some dirty and deceitful activities.
In addition, he has a wide waist, a fat body, and a fat face. The big girls and daughter-in-laws in the village will walk around in circles when they see him, and even honest men are unwilling to work with him.
Because his mother gave birth to him and was taken into custody by the government within a month, so he didn't have a name. He only knew that he was the third child in the family, and he had two older brothers.People have been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and their skin is as dark as coal, so they got the nickname "Black Three".
Apart from robbing the house to make a living, the black third has no business at ordinary times, and no family is willing to betroth their daughter to him when he is approaching the age of marriage.Later, at Yazi, I met a young lady who had run away from home. She was as beautiful as a flower, and she was called Peugeot.It was almost love at first sight for Hei San, and he immediately pooled ten taels of silver with those cronies to buy her home.
Unexpectedly, less than a month after buying it home, Hei San found out that she was pregnant, and the child was three months old.
That black three is not the one who is at a disadvantage, he immediately grabbed that tooth and beat him up, thinking that he would dare to cheat the young master ten taels of silver after playing!
Yazi also complained that he was wronged, after all, he had never touched this person when he was abducted.He doesn't have piercing eyes, how can he tell that this young lady is already pregnant.
Afterwards, this matter was settled, but the lady did not have a good day in the hands of Hei San'er.Going to the mountains to open up wasteland during the day, and doing needlework when I go back at night, my body, which was originally warm and fragrant, was exhausted in less than a year, and my temper became more and more moody.
The most pitiful thing belongs to that child, Hei San'er originally planned to kick that child away, but that child is also hard-fought, and after all these repeated tossings, he still stayed in his stomach well.Later, he took abortion pills, and the adult almost died of pain, but he didn't see what happened to the child.
Even the doctor advised Hei San'er not to beat the baby, otherwise his ten taels of silver would be wasted.
After the child was born, Hei San'er threw him outside the door. It was winter and it was still snowy outside. He deliberately didn't want the child to live.But he didn't expect that after hearing the cries, he uncontrollably carried him back and put him on the warm kang in the house, wrapped him in a quilt, and asked his wife to feed him milk.
Afterwards, the more Hei San'er thought about it, the weirder it became. This is not a child, but a monster!
He plugged the ears with cotton pads, and threw the child into the kennel. He deliberately didn't feed the dog for several days, just waiting for the dog to eat the little bastard.But something unexpected happened again. The ferocious wolf dog took the child as his own puppy, and ran out of the yard to fetch a lot of bacon for him.
After going through so many things, Hei San'er suddenly changed his mind, maybe this little bastard can take advantage of it.
Chapter 40 Hei San'er discovered that this child is born with the ability to manipulate external objects, not only people, but even cats, dogs, flowers and plants will be affected, and this ability will become stronger and stronger with age.
At first it was through sound, and later it could be achieved directly with thoughts. It was almost unsuccessful, and it was indeed a sharp weapon for killing people.
So Hei San'er changed his mind, and started to take the child to rob houses together. Now he didn't have to do anything himself, and let the child control the opponent directly so that he could do whatever he wanted, and he could rob a lot without bloodshed.
Based on this, Hei San'er treated the child a little better, but only slightly.Just like his own dog, if he is happy, he will throw a piece of meat to let him taste the sweetness. If he is not happy, he will just beat him to death with fists and kicks, and he will not be regarded as a human being at all.
But no matter how cruelly Hei San'er treats that child, he still respects him as his biological father.
He always looked at Hei San'er secretly, treasured the gadgets he threw to him on a whim like treasures, and imagined that one day he would be loved by his parents like other children in the village.
But those in the know know that that day will never come.In such a situation, even ordinary people would have suspicions, let alone Hei San'er, a thug who did all kinds of evil.
Probably because Hei San'er's life is getting better and better, and he no longer makes things difficult for his wife as usual, and buys her some nice clothes to wear on a whim. Losing face is not.
Later, perhaps because the living conditions improved, the woman's body gradually recovered, and she conceived another child within half a year.This made Hei San'er so happy, he changed his old attitude, never went out to look for flowers and ask willows, just stayed at home to greet his wife.
They also bought a lot of gadgets for unborn children, such as tiger-toed shoes, small windmills, and silver bells hanging on the wrists and ankles.Put them on the table and play with each piece every day, imagining what the family will look like after the birth of your own flesh and blood.
And that child who had been neglected all the time, who had been scolded since he was a child, had never seen such a novel thing, while Hei San'er was away, he climbed to the table and secretly picked up a rattle and carefully played with it.Unexpectedly, his mother, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly stood behind him, grabbed his clothes and threw them on the ground, scolding him loudly.
If the child's biological father hadn't abandoned her, she, a weak woman, would not have run so far away from her hometown, and then been abducted by those teeth, reduced to such a situation, married to a local ruffian and managed to survive.
The woman had been tortured by Hei San'er for a long time and became insane. She immediately vented her anger on this child, beat and scolded him, and directly smashed the rattle to pieces.
When Hei San'er came home at night and saw the trampled things on the ground, he decided that it was the child who did it. He didn't care about the bloody hands of the child already trampled by his mother, and beat him up again.The child died that night before he survived, and was thrown into a mass grave overnight by Heisan.
The next day, Hei San'er lied to others that he had sold the child to a wealthy family in the city as an adopted son, but the villagers all knew that the child was probably killed by him, otherwise Hei San'er would have been killed by him. With an insatiable desire for beating, he wished to make that child a cow and a horse for the rest of his life, so how could he kindly let him go to a wealthy family to enjoy the happiness.
But even if everyone knew about it, no one dared to stand up and complain.After all, the other party is a rascal Hei San'er, and when that child was around, he also helped Hei San'er do a lot of bad things, even if he made an unintentional mistake, he was helping the evildoer.
Some people even secretly rejoiced that maybe the child was a monster.
In less than a month, there was a sudden flood in the village, and many houses were washed away by the water. Fortunately, the evacuation was timely and there were not many casualties. Only Hei Saner and his wife died in the collapsed house. Well, when the yamen sent people to clean up the corpse, the body was smashed to the point that it could not be seen as a human being.
Especially on that woman, there was a huge blood hole in her abdomen, which didn't look like it was punched out.
But there is no evidence around, so the matter will not be resolved, but everyone in the village rumors that the child who died in vain came to take revenge.After all, the anomalies on the corpse were obvious to all, and the entire courtyard of Hei San'er's house was covered by ruins. Why was the couple killed by crushing, while the dog in the yard was unscathed.
Thinking about the reasons behind this gives me chills down the spine.
"That's all the old man knows. The two young masters must remember it, and don't mention it after leaving this door."
The old village head was sweating all the time when he said it, and he had to look out the window from time to time, as if he always felt that there was another person peeping around the house.
Hua Ci couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see that the wind outside the window seemed to be getting louder and louder, as if something was blowing and hitting the window frame with a rattling sound.
Hua Ci and Qing Zuo looked at each other, "There seems to be something outside."
Qing Zuo nodded slightly, "Indeed."
"Then I'll go take a look."
Just as Hua Ci was about to get up, Qing Zuo rushed ahead of him and pushed the window open, only to see a seven-foot-high summoning banner was inserted outside the window of the village chief's house, wrapped with white cloth strips, blowing with the sound of the wind Tapping on the papered window.On the window paper, there were countless bloody handprints imprinted on it, which at first glance combined into a huge "death" character.
The handprints are closely arranged and have different shapes and postures, but they feel very urgent, as if they were formed by slapping the window in an extremely irritable or angry situation.Each handprint is only about three inches long, obviously a child's hand.
"Yes, that kid from Hei San'er's family is back! He's back!"
The old village chief looked at the bloody handprints on his window and the soul-calling banner on the ground, and exclaimed, almost dying of fright.
Hua Ci hurriedly supported him, staring at the imprint on the window with frowning eyes, her voice suddenly dropped.
"You didn't tell the truth about that child. It's because you concealed the most important part that he was so angry and knocked on your window."
Hua Ci lifted the collar of the old village chief, his eyes were cold, "I will ask again, what is the truth about that incident back then. If you still don't tell me, no one can save you tonight. After all, as As the village chief said, we are nothing but mortals, and even gods are unwilling to save you, so we are helpless."
Speaking of this, Hua Ci looked at the old village head's terrified face and showed a weird smile, which frightened the latter even more.The little boy who looked a little silly at first, suddenly turned into a different person, even more terrifying than the big boy.
Kiyosaku, who was watching from the side, curled the corners of his mouth with great interest. Although the obedient kitten is nice, it's better to have some minions.
The old village head was almost driven out of his wits by the successive incidents. Under the intimidation of Hua Ci, he finally broke the last line of defense in his heart and took them to the mass grave at the foot of the West Mountain.
It turned out that after the child's death, many strange things happened one after another in the village. Many families would find that there was an extra person in the house at night for no reason.
For example, when eating, there are obviously five pairs of chopsticks for three children and two adults, but at the end of the distribution, one pair will be missing, and when I look back, I see a child I don't know standing behind.And when sleeping, two children sleep in one bed, and an extra head will appear in the middle of it in a short while.
Although the ghost didn't do anything bad, the villagers couldn't stand being so scared all the time in the middle of the night.So everyone went outside to invite a powerful celestial master, and pressed the child's soul under the pagoda tree in the mass grave.It really worked in this way, and I never heard of any weird things in the village.
The old village head brought Hua Ci and the others to the mass grave, and saw an unusually lush pagoda tree growing on the unstoried grave, which was covered with light red pagoda flowers.
Standing under the tree, Hua Ci lightly touched the surface of the bark, and could feel the blood flowing inside the trunk.The scorching heat flowed continuously to the branches of this locust tree.
Huaci was startled, and raised his hand to break off a branch of the locust tree, only to see a steady stream of blood gushing out of the stalk.
Sure enough, everything in the world has a cause and an effect.
He put down his hand, turned around and looked at the solitary tomb, and suddenly wanted to meet the scenes of Mingtong in his mind.No wonder his temperament is so extreme, it is all thanks to you.
"Actually, the child was not beaten to death back then, but just passed out. Hei San'er was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he buried him alive in a mass grave in a hurry. Maybe the sudden death of Hei San'er and his wife was indeed related to him, but It can be regarded as a wronged person and a debtor, he only wanders in the villagers' homes because he is greedy for the warmth of his family, why do you want to put him to death?"
"I, we didn't, we just asked the Heavenly Master to take him in!" The old village chief argued loudly for himself.
Hua Ci laughed, his voice was deep, not like his usual tone, especially when he was behind his back at this moment, people had the illusion that the person in front of him was being robbed.
"It's just accepted? It seems that the celestial master you invited is not a benevolent person. The locust tree bound the child's body in the tomb and sucked his blood. The body that was originally alive is probably half dead now." .” Yuxi exclusive.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the half-person tall wild grass swayed crazily.Qing Zuo held Huaci in his arms. The old village chief was terrified and wanted to run to them, but he was hit by a black shadow oncoming. He immediately knelt down in pain and shouted loudly pain.
Looking under the full moonlight, it turned out to be a palm-wide flower ball, which was exactly the one that Hua Ci gave to Ming Tong.
Hua Ci walked over to pick up the flower balls on the ground, and shouted to the surrounding grass: "Ming Tong! Ming Tong, are you here? Can you come out to see my brother, let's go home and play flower balls and tell stories together... ..."
After shouting against the howling cold wind for a while, the sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and a piece of wild grass fell to the sides in front of Hua Ci, making way for an endless path leading to the depths of this mass grave.
Chapter 41 Hua Ci shook his head towards Qing Zuo who was behind him, and whispered: "Don't follow, he will be vigilant, I will go by myself."
Qing Zuo just looked at him, didn't say yes or no, and didn't follow him.Huaci only thought that he agreed, and walked deep along the road paved among the grass with the flower ball in his arms.
The people buried in this mass grave are all wanderers who have wandered here. They have no relatives and no family history, and no one has prepared coffins for their funerals.
When a kind-hearted person inserts a wooden sign and writes a few words on it, it also tells others to stop trampling on it.And it would be nice if most of the corpse collectors could fill the pit with soil firmly, not even burying a bag of soil.Hua Ci walked through the grass, always feeling as if a pair of hands would sneak out and grab his ankles.
Although he was scared in his heart, he couldn't back down. If he didn't even go, Ming Tong would really be hopeless.
"Mingtong, where are you? Hurry up and go back with your brother, okay? Let's leave here together and go to a place where no one bullies you."
Huaci carefully paid attention to the surrounding environment as he walked. He was not sure where Ming Tong was. Although the child had a miserable life experience, but now he was heartbroken by those villagers. Not sure if Mingtong will make any drastic moves towards him.
It doesn't matter if you want to hurt him, anyway, the grass monster can't do anything else, but the ability to regenerate is absolutely unmatched by no monster.But there is still a baby in his belly, so he must be careful.
I don't know where the end of this path leads. Huaci only feels that the weeds around are getting scarcer as I go forward, and the soil under my feet becomes more and more moist. Every step I take, I can hear the gurgling water. Voice.
Huaci looked down and saw that most of the shoe was covered with mud. Isn't this mass grave at the bottom of the mountain? How could there be so much water?
In doubt, Huaci stopped in his tracks, and he suddenly didn't dare to go on.
"Ming Tong, can you come out? The road ahead is difficult, so my brother won't pass. You come here and my brother will take you home."
After he finished shouting this sentence, he didn't see Ming Tong, but a distant and ethereal flute sound came from the endless darkness ahead, the familiar whirling sound
