Chapter 105 The Unjust Death of a Little Peasant Girl 13
Liu Laosan is missing.
Early the next morning, Shen Yuan heard the "bad news".
Aunt Liu woke up in the middle of the night and found that her husband, who was lying in bed just fine before going to sleep, was gone.
At first she was very happy because the doctor said that as long as the person could wake up, his body could still recover.
But after waiting for an incense stick and seeing that no one had returned, Aunt Liu started to get anxious.
She went to the toilet first, but there was no one there. She was worried that Liu Laosan was still weak and had fainted somewhere.
Aunt Liu was so frightened that she screamed and shouted, which alarmed her husband. The whole family helped her to search the yard and the house carefully inside and out, but they didn't find any people, not even a hair.
Later, they found that the door to the yard was ajar, so they suspected that he had woken up and ran out for some unknown reason.
Aunt Liu San was like a madman. She searched all over the town, but couldn't find anyone. She hurried back home, but there was no sign of Liu Lao San. She was so anxious that she sat at the gate of the yard, slapping her thigh and crying.
Although Boss Ding didn't know why Liu Laosan had become estranged from him over the years, they were childhood playmates after all, and the two families lived next door to each other.
Besides, there is an old saying that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. After hearing the news, I hurried to help find someone.
Most of the people in Tonghua Village are very simple and honest. Although they often laugh at Liu Laosan behind his back for having no descendants, they are willing to lend a hand when they really encounter problems.
But even though so many people from the entire village were mobilized, they still returned empty-handed. Liu Laosan seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.
Chen Yuan said: Isn't it just that they have disappeared from the face of the earth? They have all reported to the underworld.
"I heard from Grandma Wu that Uncle Liu was taken away by a ghost."
"Ah! How scary! Will the ghost come to catch me at night?"
"Nonsense, there are no ghosts in the world! Uncle Shitou said that he had offended some bad guys outside and was afraid of being beaten to death, so he ran away secretly."
"But Grandma Qi said that Uncle Liu despised Aunt San for not being able to have children, so he eloped with a young widow outside."
"What does elopement mean?"
……
Listening to the childish chatter of his brothers and sisters, Shen Yuan, who was originally a little drowsy, became a little more clear-headed.
I have to admire the villagers' ability to make up stories. It has only been a short time, but they have already released seven or eight versions.
"Sister, who do you think is telling the truth?" A few kids were arguing and ran to her for an answer.
Facing a few pairs of sparkling eyes, Shen Yuan smiled slightly. You are eager to learn, right? Of course, I will fulfill their wish!
So he asked his younger brothers and sisters to do horse stance and used practical actions to show them what it means to be truly thirsty for knowledge.
Sometimes gossip is worse than practicing martial arts.
Aren't you envious of her ability to spear fish? Aren't you afraid of being caught by ghosts? Aren't you afraid of encountering bad people?
Just practice martial arts. Once you become strong, I guarantee they will be able to catch fish better than you do, and you won’t have to be afraid of anything in the future.
The little guys were easy to fool. They ate the big cakes drawn by their sister. Even though it was hard, they endured it and waved their little arms and legs in the yard.
Chen Yuan lay leisurely on the bamboo chair, giving instructions from time to time. If he saw someone punching incorrectly or not with enough strength, he would hit them with the bamboo stick in his hand.
It wasn't serious, not even a red mark was left, but it hurt so much that the kids began to question their lives. Gradually, they became more and more focused and seldom made mistakes.
Ah...she is also a genius in teaching!
They lived a peaceful life here and the town was immersed in joy.
The third young master of the Lu family, who was idle all day long, teasing cats and dogs everywhere and was domineering, is dead!
On weekdays, Young Master Lu relied on his family's wealth to bully the people in the town, such as seizing people's ancestral recipes, humiliating women, and beating people in the street with his lackeys.
In short, he caused harm to many people, and almost half of the people in the town hated him.
When they heard the news of his death, many people applauded and almost set off fireworks to celebrate.
"My second uncle's sister-in-law's nephew works in the Lu Mansion. I heard that the man died tragically. All the bones in his body were broken. He felt soft to the touch and drooped when he was lifted up."
"He has finally met his end! Tsk tsk - I heard that it was done by a knight who passed by here. He couldn't stand him bullying the common people, so he sneaked in at night and shot him dead."
"I heard that it was an evil ghost who was taking his life? When he died, blood was gushing out of his seven orifices and his eyes were wide open. He must have been frightened to death."
"Yes, yes, yes, it must be someone he harmed in the past, who turned into a ghost and came back to seek revenge. There were so many people guarding outside his house, but we didn't hear any movement. Apart from a ghost, what else could do that?"
"I don't know which heroic spirit did this great deed that made people happy?"
"Who knows? He has harmed so many people. The most likely one is the widow Zhang from Xilin Street. That livestock not only bullied her,
They also spread rumors that she was unfaithful to her husband and had actively seduced him, causing widow Zhang to be looked down upon and despised by everyone. Finally, she could no longer bear it and jumped into the river.
"Eh? Didn't they say they were an adulterer and a whore, hooking up as a couple?"
"You believe what others say? Widow Zhang wanted to sue him, but unfortunately she refused to testify, and he threw dirty water on her instead."
"How do you know so clearly? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"No, no, no, I heard it from my next-door neighbor."
……
The town was in an uproar, but the Lu family was in a gloomy mood. Young Master Lu was the third child, but he was the only son in the family.
His two older brothers, one seven or eight years old and the other ten years old, died one after another, leaving him as the only child in the family. As a result, he was treated extremely spoiled and developed such a lawless character.
Now his last son was dead, without leaving him any grandchildren. When Mr. Lu heard the bad news, he was so angry that he fainted on the spot. When he woke up, his eyes were crooked and his nose was tilted. He had suffered a stroke.
"Check...it was Shui who did it..." Master Lu widened his bloodshot eyes, staring at his wife like a ghost, and said incoherently, "I...I want him to pay...pay with his life..."
"Master, don't worry. Even if you don't mention it, I will catch the man and cut him into pieces even if I have to spend all my family wealth!" Mrs. Lu gnashed her teeth in hatred.
It's a pity that ideals are full, and reality is very skinny.
They reported the case to the authorities and spent a large sum of money to hire a master of solving cases from the county, but they did not find any clues at the scene, as if the murderer did not exist at all.
A person who doesn't exist? Isn't that a ghost?
The Lu family shuddered and suddenly felt a chill on their backs.
The murderer was not caught, but during the interrogation, it was discovered that the gatekeeper Shuanzi looked strange, which led to the murder of Liu Laosan.
