My eyes were red, and I stared at Dong Feng. The murderous intent in my eyes could not be suppressed at all!
Dong Feng's yellow eyes were extremely fierce, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Master Huo, Mr. Li wants to kill me, how dare I use the knife?" Dong Feng's words were unpleasant.
Huo Kunmin also had sweat on his forehead, and his eyes moved to me even more uneasily.
At the same time, the door was opened quickly.
The paper figures Xu, Second Uncle, and He Zhi hurriedly came out of their respective rooms.
Obviously, the scene in the middle of the field made them look surprised.
He Fei quickly pulled out the ghost knife from his waist, stepped forward, and put the blade directly on the other side of Dong Feng's neck.
When the second uncle was about to step forward, he was blocked by the paper man Xu with one hand.
The paper man Xu said gloomily: "It's useless to use another sword. Yin Yang, Master Huo, what's going on?"
The second uncle's eyes also showed murderous intent, and he cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, Dong Feng, the Xuanhe River is eighty miles away, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. If you dare to hurt my nephew, I will peel off your skin. Kill your whole family!"
Obviously, the second uncle knew Dong Feng.
Dong Feng's sweat began to slide down his forehead, and his hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
I closed my eyes, suppressed the hatred and anger in my heart, and slowly released my palm.
"Master Huo, He Zhi, put away your guns and knives." I said hoarsely.
Huo Kunmin and He Zhi then slowly moved their guns and knives away.
Dong Feng was obviously not stupid. He put down the fortune-telling knife with a tense face, but looked at me with surprise and suspicion.
"Tell me, what happened back then, what happened to the Li family." I closed my eyes and sat back at the wooden table. At the same time, I pushed a chair in front of Dong Feng.
Dong Feng hesitated for a long time before sitting down.
He glanced around the courtyard before frowning and saying, "The Li family is a big family in Hongsong County. It was bigger than the Huo family back then."
Dong Feng paused again and suddenly said: "Why are you asking about this matter? If you don't wait for me to finish speaking, will you kill me?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at my face blankly, as if he was thinking hard about something.
Dong Feng's words actually caused me to fall into a brief silence.
But I soon figured out that Dong Feng was not the leader of things back then, he was just a person who took care of things.
After all, the corpse collectors work in the Xuanhe River to take money from the owner's family and eliminate disasters for the owner's family.
It's useless for me to embarrass Dong Feng, he is not the culprit at all.
"I won't kill you." I said after my thoughts settled.
Dong Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After a moment, he continued: "When the Li family was at its peak, there was a young lady, Li Huarong, who was extremely talented and intelligent!"
"At that time, I don't know how many famous families wanted to marry Li Huarong. Some people said that Yun Xiangchang and Hua Xiangrong were used to describe the eldest daughter of the Li family."
I looked even more stunned, and subconsciously thought of my mother's appearance in front of me several times.
It's just that when I saw her, apart from the green and evil aura of a living corpse, how could she have the beauty that Dong Feng described?
Dong Feng took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and lost a third of it in one puff.
"The Li family has also chosen an excellent son-in-law. He is the heir of a large family in the provincial capital. He has an excellent reputation and can be said to be a talented man and a beautiful woman. Moreover, the heir is very good to Miss Li and loves her to the core."
"It's just that the beauty is ill-fated. The eldest lady of the Li family is suffering from an illness. She feels like she has lost her soul all day long. She is losing weight rapidly and her life is not going to be long. The Li family is frantically looking for the doctor to treat her. If something happens to someone before the wedding, , If the Li family cannot climb high, the big family will also lose face."
"What's her husband's name?" I took a deep breath and asked.
"Miss Li... doesn't have a husband..." Dong Feng shook his head and said complicatedly: "She didn't get married in the end. Where did she get her husband?"
My pupils tightened again.
I thought it was because of physical illness after my mother got married that she got pregnant and was sent back...
But I didn't expect...she wasn't married?
"Yin Yang, don't be impatient, let him say it." The paper man Xu came to my side and patted my shoulder.
He Zhi came to sit on the other side of me and gently held my hand.
The second uncle moved a stool and sat a little further away. He took out a wine bottle and was obviously listening carefully.
Dong Feng took out the water bag from his waist, took another sip, and continued:
"The Li family has called in many gentlemen, but to no avail. Miss Li's apathy is getting worse and worse, and she has even walked to the edge of a hanging river several times."
"One gentleman said that the Li family should ask the river god to see if it can be of any use."
"The Li family had no choice but to seek medical treatment urgently. As a result, a gentleman actually came over to the Xuanhe River that day. That gentleman was very capable. He determined Miss Li's illness at a glance and said that something in the river had taken her away. Yihun, sir, asked the Li family to build a thatched cottage by the river, and let Miss Li family live there alone."
"Not long after, her illness was really cured!"
"Sir, you are leaving without seeking wealth or fame!"
"The Li family held a big banquet to celebrate the young lady's recovery from illness, but the young lady from the Li family still often went back and forth to the thatched cottage, as if reluctant to leave..."
"As time goes by, her belly gets bigger. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is pregnant! Her innocence is ruined!"
"The Li family couldn't hide this matter at all. It spread to ten people and hundreds of people! It soon reached the ears of the big family. How can the marriage be accomplished?"
"It's just that the big family is open-minded and didn't say anything wrong with the Li family. Even his fiancé said that he still wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Li family! He said that it was not the eldest daughter of the Li family's fault. It was because they didn't take good care of people, so that Mr. insulted his innocence.”
"The big family was furious and ordered him to be brought back to the family and choose another wife for him. When he resisted and escaped, something happened on the Xuanhe River..."
"That was a good man, but it was a pity that he did not live long and drowned in the hanging river."
When Dong Feng said this, I was only stunned and shocked...
This matter is much more complicated than I thought...
Dong Feng exhaled, shook his head and said, "After that day, something big happened in the Xuanhe River. At night, "hundred ghosts" swam in the river. No matter whether they were humans or animals, as long as they were on the shore, they would be dragged into the water!"
"After that, even during the day, people would be pulled by their ankles..."
But the second uncle said without hesitation: "This matter has nothing to do with the drowned fiancé, right? It's really haunted. It's impossible to pull someone's ankle during the day!"
Dong Feng narrowed his eyes and whispered: "It really has nothing to do with it, but it's a coincidence. We, the corpse collectors, knew that it was the water ghoul that started causing trouble, but for ordinary villagers, what do you want them to think?!"
