I was surprised by the appearance of Lai Scartou. Seeing Father Qin's expression of hatred for steel, I quickly asked him who he was?
Father Qin looked at me helplessly and said, "This is my youngest son, his name is Qin Tao. He is good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, but he doesn't know how to do human affairs!"
As soon as Father Qin blurted out his words, Qin Tao became unhappy at the door. He walked into the yard with a dark face and said in an angry tone, "Old man, what are you talking about? If I don't live up to my expectations, I am still your son. Hurry up and bring me the poached eggs. I'm starving."
"Shut up, I don't have anything for you to eat!"
Father Qin was very angry with his little son. He glared at him fiercely, handed him the bowl of poached eggs, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Zhou, I made you laugh. There is no preparation at home, so just make do with a pad on your stomach."
"Thanks."
I am not a picky person. When I lived in a Taoist temple with Xuan Zhenzi, I was often hungry. It was good to be able to eat poached eggs. However, just as I was about to use my chopsticks with the poached eggs, I heard Lai Scartou complaining.
"Old man, you are going too far. You don't know how to let me have something. Who is this kid? Why should he eat my food?"
This guy looks like a scoundrel and has no respect for Father Qin at all, which makes people disgusted just by looking at him.
Father Qin was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said, "Shut up, Brother Zhou is a distinguished guest in our family. If you want to eat, you won't make it yourself."
But Qin Tao smiled, grinning with his yellow teeth, pointing at the bowl and chopsticks in my hand with a smile, and said that it was too much trouble for me, so I wanted his bowl.
"You bastard."
Father Qin's face sank and he wanted to kick him over. When I saw that the two men were about to quarrel, I quickly stood up and persuaded him, "It's okay. Let me give him my bowl first. I'm not hungry yet, so I can eat whatever I want." Just click.”
"Boy, you are wise!"
Chen Tao was really rude. He snatched away my bowl and chopsticks and took them to his room to eat.
I was speechless, and Father Qin almost had a heart attack from anger. He lamented that his family was unlucky and had a retribution in this world.
"Brother, I'm really sorry to make you laugh. I have two sons. You have met the eldest son Qin Yong, and he is quite honest. But this younger son... alas!"
I just smiled and said nothing.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I am not qualified to interfere in Father Qin’s housework. Anyway, my task is to deliver the message to Yamawanggou. When Xuan Zhenzi recovers from his injuries and arrives here, I will have nothing to do with him.
In order to make it up to me, Father Qin had to go back to the kitchen and make noodles for me. I had nothing to do, so I squatted outside his yard and overlooked the entire topography of Yama Village, but the more I looked at it, the more mysterious it became.
The Feng Shui orientation of this village is very bad. It is located on the shady side of the mountains. The entrance of the village faces a forest, blocking the village's destiny. The stream beside the village is like a sharp sword, inserted into the lifeblood of the entire village. From the perspective of Feng Shui and numerology, This is a "jedi" and should not be inhabited at all.
In the past few years, I have been doing odd jobs with Xuan Zhenzi, and I have occasionally come into contact with some knowledge of Feng Shui and Numerology, but I am not very good at learning it. I am not sure whether I have understood it correctly. When I was wondering, Qin Tao had already walked out of the room with the empty bowl. Say hello to me,
"Boy, where did you come from, that my old man is so polite to you?"
I frowned and looked at Chen Tao's careless look. I felt disgusted and suppressed my displeasure and said,
"My surname is Zhou. I came to Father Qin to deliver a message on my master's orders."
"Tch, it turns out he's a messenger."
Qin Tao looked disdainful, put his hand on my shoulder, and asked me with a smile if I had a cigarette.
"No, I don't smoke."
I felt even more unhappy. I moved my shoulders and wanted to move his hand away, but when I glanced at his dirt-covered nails from the corner of my eye, I felt startled. I quickly turned back to look at Chen Tao and glanced at him with squinted eyes. The more I look at it, the weirder it gets.
This guy actually exudes an earthy smell, his forehead is yellow, and he is shrouded in an aura of filth and resentment. Especially at the base of his nose, a group of gray shadows actually appears. This is a typical sign of death taking away life. A sign indicates that disaster will soon come.
Qin Tao felt uncomfortable with my eyes, so he moved away his dirt-covered nails and said with a playful smile, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy? Damn it, I'm not interested in men!"
I,……
To be honest, I was a little speechless. At this time, Father Qin had already walked out with the freshly made noodles and scolded, "If you don't go back to the house after you are full, don't harass my distinguished guests!"
After scolding Qin Tao away, Qin's father apologized to me with a bitter face, "Don't take it to heart, my little son is too useless. He has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child."
I shook my head and said it was okay. I just squinted my eyes slightly and looked at Qin Tao's back, and whispered,
"Yesterday the village held a funeral for Widow Chen, but your youngest son seemed not to be there."
Father Qin had no choice but to say yes. His youngest son was too useless and was not popular in the village. He only played cards and smoked with a few idle men all day long. He also went to the canteen at the entrance of the village every now and then to get credit.
"Probably he went to play cards again. He won't come home until he loses all his money."
But I narrowed my eyes and said to myself, "I'm afraid Qin Tao didn't go to the village entrance to play cards last night."
Father Qin was stunned and asked me what I said?
I just smiled and replied vaguely, "Nothing."
After sending Father Qin away, I went back to my side room, but instead of lying on the bed to rest, I put my eyes on the crack of the door and looked towards Qin Tao's room motionlessly.
This guy had an earthy smell on his body, and his fingernails were black and covered in dirt. It looked like he was digging for something.
Thinking of the mysterious disappearance of Widow Chen's body last night, I made a very bold guess.
Sure enough, not long after it got dark, I saw Qin Tao carrying a linen bag and a hoe on his shoulder, mysteriously going out.
Before he left, he deliberately glanced at Father Qin's room, looking a little sneaky. He made sure that Father Qin didn't notice him, and then he tiptoed out of the yard.
I sneered, opened the door to the room quietly, and followed quickly.
After Qin Tao went out, he immediately walked towards the mountain behind Yanwang Village, looking guilty and scared.
After getting into the bamboo forest, the boy put down what he was holding and started digging a hole in a certain place. He dug so hard that he didn't even notice me following behind.
Seeing this, I had already confirmed about seven or eight points. I was about to go back to the village to ask for help, but because I was not familiar with the terrain, I stepped on a rolling stone.
The falling stone caught Qin Tao's attention. He turned around suddenly and looked at me hiding outside the bamboo forest. He twitched his lips and suddenly shouted out of guilt,
"It's you, why are you following me?"
Now that I was discovered, I simply stopped pretending and said with a half-smile, "Qin Tao, you are in such good spirits. Why are you digging holes in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night?"
Qin Tao's expression changed, and he subconsciously threw away the hoe, saying it was none of your business, but do you care?
Seeing that he was still so arrogant, I was too lazy to talk nonsense and snorted coldly,
"I can't help you digging holes in the middle of the night, but you dispose of Widow Chen's body without authorization to cover up evidence of crime. I must take care of this matter."
