The man who stole the female corpse did not want it to rot or wither bones. It was obvious that he wanted more than appearance and resentment.
My mother was so resentful that she couldn't hold her breath anymore, and she remains the same as she was then.
If he came to this village, he would definitely covet her.
After thinking silently for a long time, I said, "That person is definitely not Uncle Xu. He might come here. If he doesn't come, it has nothing to do with what I want to do. If he comes, it will be a lot of trouble."
Dong Feng's expression immediately changed slightly.
He Fei's eyes also showed surprise, and he murmured: "Auntie..."
I exhaled and said, "What happened to my mother happened more than 20 years ago. Now that she is back here, no one knows about her except us. We don't have to worry about that person coming here on purpose, as long as he doesn't happen to come to the village." , and it just happens to meet my mother."
Dong Feng nodded and said: "Of course there are not so many coincidences."
I hummed and looked down at Miao Guangyang's body again.
"Mr. Dong, I will trouble you and Aunt Zhang to help me take care of He Pheasant and Mr. Miao's body tonight. I have to go out."
"Besides, there is a coffin bearer in this village. You probably don't know that, right?"
I didn’t say how the body was found before. After all, Aunt Zhang was just an ordinary old woman. I can’t explain it clearly until Dong Feng comes back.
Dong Feng's eyes were full of surprise: "Coffin bearer? What's going on?" I then told him about my visit to the Li family mansion.
Dong Feng's face was uncertain, and he suddenly whispered: "You have to let that person go...otherwise it will cause big trouble."
I frowned.
He Zhi immediately looked dissatisfied and said angrily: "He took Mr. Miao's body and refused to return it, and he also treated us cruelly. For such an arrogant person, why not give him a little punishment? He has been tied up, what kind of trouble can he cause? ?”
Although I have different ideas from He Zhi, I don't want to let him go now so that he will disrupt my arrangements.
I still want to find my mother tonight.
Dong Feng's eyelids were twitching wildly, and he explained in a low voice: "Coffin bearer, usually a consul takes the Eight Immortals with him. They rarely travel alone. The person you mentioned holding the dragon pole must be the consul. The Eight Immortals didn't come out. It must be somewhere else.”
"Although the Eight Immortals are not as powerful as the Consul, none of them are weak... Among the nine lower classes, the most difficult person to offend is the watchman, followed by the coffin bearer... The Consul takes the lead, and the Eight Immortals carry the coffin, which is nine people together! We are powerful A single person is weak..."
"It's just that no big family around Hongsong County has hired a coffin bearer..." Dong Feng's eyes were more confused. My complexion also changed.
According to what Dong Feng said, we really set a trap by provoking the coffin bearer...
But I can’t possibly watch him take away Miao Guangyang’s body!
However, once the Eight Immortals return to the Li family mansion and the consul is released, they will definitely come to trouble us.
My heart sank a lot.
He Zhi's pretty face turned pale. She bit her lower lip and squeezed out a few words: "It's impossible for us to apologize to him? Besides, that person has a weird and arrogant personality..."
I turned my head to look at He Fei, my eyes looking very deep.
He Zhi's body suddenly stiffened, and her eyes were slightly uneasy.
"I have an arrangement, and you need to agree." I took a deep breath before saying cautiously.
He Zhi pursed her lower lip, with confusion in her eyes.
"It's not dark yet, and we have just been back for a while. Let Uncle Dong drive the horse. You can take Mr. Miao's body back to Jiuhe County, so as not to have a head-on confrontation with the coffin bearer. It will be difficult for us to do so."
"No..." He Zhi's eyes turned red and he immediately shook his head in refusal.
"If it were really me, I wouldn't be their opponent, nor would I stay here, but my mother is here. Even the old watchmen in Hejia Village were helpless with me, and a few coffin bearers couldn't do anything. .” I explained in a deep voice: “If you leave, I won’t have anything to worry about.”
He Zhi was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand what I meant.
Although Dong Feng looked puzzled, he nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, since Mr. Li has the means to protect himself, he must stay. It would be a good thing for us to leave first." Dong Feng was also persuading.
He Zhi nodded.
I immediately helped her into the carriage.
Dong Feng and Aunt Zhang packed up some of their belongings and went to the carriage.
He told Dong Feng a few words, asking them to go back to Zhizhapu directly and not to create any problems in the middle. After Dong Feng repeated his assurance, he drove away.
Until the carriage drove away, He Zhi was looking back at me from the carriage window.
I stood there until they disappeared from sight, then turned around and entered the house.
I tried my best to calm my thoughts and calm myself down enough.
Then, I quietly waited for dark.
The sky outside is getting darker and darker. Because it is cloudy, there is no sunset, and it is about to enter night.
I calculated the time correctly and left Dong Feng's house just before nightfall and walked towards Old Man Li's house.
There are not many pedestrians on the village road, and most of the houses have their doors closed.
Probably because I walked past Miao Guangyang's body just now, which scared these people away from coming out at night.
When I walked not far outside Old Man Li's courtyard, it was finally dark.
I didn't go directly, but hid behind a courtyard wall.
I'm not completely sure that it's my mother who came here. I can only say it's a high probability, so I can only watch from the sidelines.
The sky is getting darker and the roads are getting quieter.
There is no moonlight tonight, not even a star.
Two more villagers were scattered across the village road, and even their shadows were blurry and hard to see.
I noticed that the lights in Old Man Li’s yard were turned off at some point.
Carefully took out the compass.
At this time, the needle of the compass began to rotate very fast. I took a deep breath and moved it forward, and the needle made a chirping sound!
She is coming? !
I was pleasantly surprised, and when I looked at Old Man Li's yard, I still didn't find anything strange, except that it was getting darker and darker.
How did she get into the yard? I don't know, I'm afraid that she will leave quietly again, and with this distance, I'm also afraid that she won't know that I'm coming.
Taking a deep breath, I walked out of the courtyard wall where I was hiding and walked toward the courtyard.
Soon, I arrived at the yard.
The speed of the compass pointer is already extremely fast!
I stood at the entrance of the hospital for a long time, and I couldn't contain the excitement in my heart.
"Mom..." I murmured two words and walked directly through the fence gate.
I quickly walked to the door of the main room and pushed the door open with all my strength!
There was actually candlelight in the room, but the candlelight glowed with a faint green color, so that the light was too dim to be transmitted.
There was a man kneeling in front of the bedroom door, and it was Old Man Li.
Old Man Li lowered his head, as if repenting...
I suddenly felt something was wrong, my body was covered in cold sweat, and goosebumps grew rapidly!
There was a dripping sound in the bedroom, like wet clothes dripping.
