Volume 1 Chapter 014 Hidden Kill
I was a little surprised that she just screamed and didn't run away in fear. This is considered quite courageous among women.
Liu Zining stood at the door for a long time before coming in with clothes in his arms and walking behind me: "This little sister...what a pity..."
I said yes, what a pity.
Liu Zining sighed faintly. Although her face turned pale, she still came over and handed me the clothes. "This little sister is so beautiful. What's wrong with her?"
I didn't know how to answer for a moment, so I took the clothes, a top and pants, a complete set. I coughed and said I needed to change clothes, and asked if she could please leave for a while.
Liu Zining smiled and said: "You are just a little kid, why are you shy? I won't look at you." Then he turned his back.
I was a little embarrassed, and seeing that she really didn't look at me, I untied my belt, took off all my wet pants, and then put on clean clothes. I picked up the wet clothes on the ground and balled them up, and asked Liu Zining if he had a bag or something so that I could put the dirty clothes back.
Liu Zining asked me to hand the clothes to her: "Leave it there, I'll wash it and give it to you."
Although I am thick-skinned, I am also a little embarrassed. My underwear is still in it, how can I let my sister wash it?
Liu Zining pulled the clothes from my hands without saying anything and said, "Little boy, where do you get so many ideas from!"
I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but since the clothes were already in her hands, I didn't say anything. Liu Zining put the clothes in a basin and asked me if I had eaten. Although I had just stuffed a few cold steamed buns, I still felt hungry, and there was nothing hot to eat.
Liu Zining asked me to sit in the room for a while while she went to the kitchen to check. I held Lin Wenjing and sat for a while. I just felt the faint fragrance in the room was very pleasant. I began to doze off after sitting for a while. I was a little confused when I heard footsteps and saw Liu Zining coming in with a big bowl of steaming noodles.
"There's nothing in the kitchen, so I cooked you a bowl of beef noodles." Liu Zining brought the noodles to the table and asked me to come over to eat. Seeing that I was still holding Lin Wenjing, he asked me if I wanted to put the girl on her bed first, and she didn't mind.
I rarely see girls who are not afraid of corpses. In our village, people like ours who did business were tabooed wherever they went.
I drank some soup, hesitating whether to tell her.
Fortunately, I grew up surrounded by various corpses, and the person in my arms was Lin Wenjing, whom I had known since childhood. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to eat food while holding a corpse.
Liu Zining sat next to me. I asked her why she wasn't afraid. She said that she was actually a little scared, but because the girl was pretty, she didn't find it so scary.
Seeing that she was very brave, I thought that she would know about this sooner or later, and telling her earlier would allow her to be mentally prepared, so I told her the whole story while eating noodles.
Liu Zining's face turned pale and his mouth opened wide. This is the reaction of anyone who hears about this kind of thing for the first time .
"I...my cousins..." Liu Zining looked at Lin Wenjing's lifeless face, his eyes were red, his voice was a little choked, and he reached out to smooth the few strands of messy hair on Lin Wenjing's forehead.
Seeing her sad, I also felt sad and changed the subject: "Sister Ning, I think you seem to be very afraid of your grandma?"
Liu Zining seemed surprised and asked in a lost voice: "How did you know?"
I didn't expect her to react so strongly, so I said, "I noticed it in the hall. It seemed like you were afraid to look at your grandmother."
Liu Zining's face suddenly lost all color, she bit her lip and said nothing. I was a little surprised: "What's wrong, Sister Ning? You are very brave, you are not afraid of corpses, but you are afraid of your grandmother?"
Liu Zining was stunned for a long time, a little absent-minded: "Sometimes people are more terrifying than corpses."
I was a little surprised. This sentence is a famous saying in our industry. I didn't expect that Sister Ning, a girl under 20 years old, would have such a feeling. I wondered if she had encountered something before. This Liu family mansion seemed very complicated.
I tilted my head back and drank the rest of the soup in the bowl. Just as I was about to say a few words to comfort her, I suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from the front.
We were both startled at once. Liu Zining stood up suddenly and I quickly picked up Lin Wenjing.
"What's wrong?" I was a little worried about my uncle who was alone in the front hall. I didn't want him to be harmed by these people. Liu Zining also had a frightened look on his face. The scream just now was too scary.
We hurried out the door and headed for the front hall. After walking a few steps, we heard a loud wailing sound coming from the front.
We rushed over and saw that the place was in chaos. A group of people gathered together and several women were crying loudly . The old lady of the Liu family was holding a cane, her eyes wide open, and she was jumping up and down and cursing: "You bastard, you evil spirit! You bastard! If you dare, come at me! I will cut you into pieces! You evil spirit..."
Her face was livid and she gnashed her teeth, looking like a demon.
I saw Liu Zining shivering at the time, and she stopped at the door trembling with fear. It seemed that Sister Ning was really afraid of her grandmother.
I felt relieved when I saw my third uncle standing in the crowd with a frown on his face. I pulled Liu Zining's hand and said, "Sister Ning, are you okay?" I just felt her hand was ice cold.
Liu Zining shook my hand and said she was fine. I was curious about what happened, so I squeezed in with Lin Wenjing on my back.
I saw a middle-aged man in his forties lying on the ground, his face was burnt black, his mouth was wide open, stretching all the way to the back of his ears, which had long exceeded the limit of the mouth's opening arc. What was even more terrifying was that his two pairs of eyeballs were bulging out of his eye sockets, and there was no black at all, only the whites of his eyes. I didn't need to look at him to know that he was already beyond saving. The dead face was leaning over to examine him.
I have seen so many dead bodies, and I couldn't figure out how this person died. What kind of experience could make a person's mouth split like this, and the white of the eyeballs bulge out, where are the black pupils?
I squeezed next to my uncle and asked him what happened in a low voice. My uncle sneered and told me the whole story in a low voice.
It turned out that the man who fell to the ground was surnamed Cai, and he was from the Liu family's old lady's family. According to seniority, he was the great-uncle of Liu Zi'an and Sister Ning. The Liu family's old lady's family came here to help deal with the funeral affairs of several younger generations.
After Sister Ning and I went into the inner room, I don't know if this Cai guy was drunk, but he started to talk a lot. In front of so many people, he slammed the table and pointed at Liu Zian's father and started cursing, saying what a bastard thing he had done. Several of his family's younger generations had just been buried, and he had removed all the black cloth from the mourning hall, and even held a banquet, drinking and having fun. Isn't this a lack of virtue!
This Cai was one generation older than Liu Zian's father. Liu's father didn't dare to talk back, so he just nodded and let him scold him. Later, Liu Zian's mother couldn't help it anymore and said that this was all done according to Mr. Zhong's wishes, in order to bring good luck to the family.
The man surnamed Cai was also drunk and had a head for it. He scolded Liu's mother for interfering in her opinion. Liu's mother was so angry that she cried and wanted to go back to her parents' home. Later, it was the old woman of the Liu family who calmed down the situation by showing her power.
The dead face said grimly at the time: "This is all arranged by me. If you are not satisfied, you can leave."
The man surnamed Cai went crazy on the spot, cursing at me, "Who the hell are you? How dare you yell at me in front of me?" Then he smashed the bottle, stumbled out the door and went home, and no one could stop him.
Later, Liu's father was worried about something happening, so he asked Liu Zi'an to take a few young people with him to check. As a result, Liu Zi'an and his friends found Cai's body on the road not far from the house. When they carried it back, the body was already stiff.
The whole room was in an uproar, everyone was so scared that their faces turned pale. Many relatives wanted to go home immediately, but the dead man said coldly: "Whoever wants to die early, just get out!"
After he said this, no one dared to go out.
"Uncle Feng, you are an expert on corpses. Can you find anything strange?" Dead Face said to Uncle San.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!" Uncle San smiled and waved his hands, then looked at everyone in the room, "But, I guess it has something to do with that devilish girl from the Liu family."
As soon as he said this, the people in the room became even more panicked. The old woman from the Liu family howled and beat her cane non-stop, gritting her teeth and saying, "Where is that bitch's body? Find it, burn it, and scatter its ashes!"
I got so mad just listening to that that I really wanted to slap that old guy in the face. Uncle San cried out, "Old lady, please stop bragging. If your granddaughter gets angry, she'll turn all of us in the house into ashes!"
I was so happy to hear that, and secretly gave my third uncle a thousand thumbs up.
The old woman screamed, "Mr. Zhong, please tell me. You must have a way, right? I pat my chest here. As long as you get rid of that bastard, I will satisfy you with anything you want!"
Uncle San shrugged and looked at the dead face: "Anything is fine for you!"
The dead face frowned and shouted, "Shut up!" His voice was not very loud, but it could be heard clearly in the noisy hall.
Uncle San whispered to me calmly, but the others were all shocked. The old woman from the Liu family also turned pale and stammered, unable to speak.
"If you don't want to die, stay in your room!" The dead-faced man looked around coldly, "Whoever is a virgin, stand out."
The old lady from the Liu family added sharply from behind: "Listen to Mr. Zhong!"
