Volume 1 Chapter 022: Killing
These are most likely bone nails. This number is exactly nine! I don't know where this dead face got the human bones from, and he actually made a set of bone nails for him.
"Kill her! Kill her!" The old woman from the Liu family had a pair of small eyes that were gleaming with excitement, and she was gritting her teeth. Her expression was even more terrifying than that of a demon.
Dead Face took out the shortest bone nail from the box and held it in his hand. He could vaguely see some runes and curses engraved on the nail, which was as thick as a chopstick. He stared at it for a moment, then waved his sleeves and sealed the nail into Liu Nan's navel without hesitation, which was the first key point of the human body.
Then he waved his hand and picked up three bone nails in one go, and instantly sealed them into the three major acupoints near the spine on his back. I was standing by and could even clearly hear the sound of the nails piercing through the flesh and bones.
Liu Nan's body was motionless, perhaps because she was restrained by the seal and couldn't move even if she wanted to. But her eyes, the effect of the fine sand had long faded, and she looked at everyone in the yard indifferently. I have never seen such a look in her eyes before, without a trace of life, without a trace of warmth, only despair and coldness.
Dead Man Face moved very quickly, waving his hands, and in the blink of an eye, four more bone nails were sealed into her body. If one more nail was inserted, no matter how powerful the evil ghost was, it would not be able to escape the fate of being torn apart!
Dead Man Face turned around and had the last bone nail in his hand. This was the last one and the longest one. He gently raised the hand holding the bone nail. The last key point was the center of the top of the head. As long as the nail was driven into the brain, the Nine Yin Sealing Acupoints would be completed!
At the moment when the dead man's hand fell, I couldn't help but shout out, "Wait!"
"No!" At the same time, another person's voice came out almost at the same time as mine. Then a gray figure ran over, and because he ran too fast, he fell on the road halfway, and immediately got up and rushed over to block Liu Nan.
"No! Mr. Zhong, don't do this!" The man immediately knelt down and hugged the dead face's legs.
I looked closely and was a little surprised. This person was someone I knew. Liu Zining, who was standing next to me, exclaimed, "It's my second uncle!"
That's right, this man is Liu Nan's father, Liu Zining's second uncle Liu Wenxuan . This man is hunched over, with gray hair on his temples, and at first glance he looks ten years older than his eldest brother. Nine of his ten fingers are broken, and he can't even grab things, so he can only hug his hands and hold the thighs of the dead face tightly.
"Wenxuan, what are you doing! Hurry up and get up!" When the old lady of the Liu family saw that the man was her son, she immediately screamed angrily and glared at Liu Zian and the others, "Hurry up and help your second uncle down!"
"Don't come over here!" Liu Wenxuan shouted. After all, he was the second uncle and the elder. Liu Zian and the other young people looked at each other and didn't dare to rush over for a while.
"Mr. Zhong, go ahead and kill this bastard first!" The old lady of the Liu family tapped her cane viciously, urging the dead face to get rid of Liu Nan quickly.
“No one is allowed to touch our Nan’er!” Liu Wenxuan hugged the dead man’s thigh tightly, tears streaming down his face, and cried to the old lady of the Liu family: “Mom, don’t do this… really don’t do this… You have already killed Baimei, what else do you want!”
As soon as Liu Wenxuan said this, the Liu family mansion suddenly buzzed with discussion. I felt Liu Zining's hand shaking, and when I looked at her, her face was pale and bloodless. I was moved and asked in a low voice: "Sister Ning, did you see your grandmother...kill your second aunt?"
Liu Zining's hands trembled even more, and her face turned pale, as if she had just remembered the most horrible thing. I understood everything at once. It was probably because when Sister Ning was a child, she accidentally witnessed her grandmother killing her second aunt , which left a shadow on her childhood.
"You... you unfilial son!" The old woman of the Liu family was shaking with anger. "It was me. I burned that bitch to death! Haha, so what? That bitch should have died long ago!"
Liu's father and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and a group of relatives also had different expressions. Liu's father went up and quickly tugged at her mother's clothes: "Mom, don't talk nonsense, my sister-in-law's matter was a fire, what does it have to do with you?"
The old lady of the Liu family had a hideous look on her face. She pushed her son away and burst into laughter. "I was the one who burned it! I wish I could pull out the tendons of that wild woman and peel off her skin! Mr. Zhong, you should quickly kill this bastard, just like you did to that bitch back then. Let her never be reincarnated!"
This old woman is really crazy, she is simply an old monster! I glanced at Uncle San and prepared to move over quietly. I wanted to ask him if he could save Liu Nan, at least to prevent her from ending up with the white bone nail destroying her soul and body.
At this moment, Liu Wenxuan yelled, stood up from the ground, held a dagger in both hands, and put it on his neck.
“No one is allowed to move!” Liu Wenxuan’s eyes were red, and he yelled at the dead face: “Back off!”
The dead face looked at him coldly, unmoved.
"Son...son, please don't do anything stupid!" The old lady of the Liu family stomped on her cane, "You...are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Liu Wenxuan seemed to be on the verge of collapse. He gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling , and shouted, "Mom, tell me the truth, did you kill Nan'er?"
"Second brother, are you crazy?" Father Liu scolded loudly, asking his brother to put down the knife and talk things over.
"Mom, did you kill Nan'er? Tell me! Tell me!" Liu Wenxuan roared. His two hands were not stable after all, and the blade was sharp. It quickly cut several cuts on his neck, and blood was dripping.
The old lady of the Liu family turned pale, her uneven teeth chattered, and she screamed, "That's right, I was the one who killed this little bastard! Who told her to harm our Feng'er? This bastard deserves to die! She deserves to die!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Liu family mansion fell into complete silence.
As soon as the old woman opened her mouth, she started to curse out all kinds of vicious curses. After listening for a while, I finally understood the reason for the matter.
It turned out that Feng'er mentioned by the old woman was Liu Zi'an's cousin who went crazy after drinking and had a nail pierced his head. That day, the cousin was visiting Liu's house. He drank a little in the afternoon and was bored, so he took Liu Zi'an's five-year-old brother to stroll around the house, and they happened to wander into Liu Nan's room.
Somehow, this cousin had a conflict with Liu Nan, and when he was drunk, he even went so far as to physically assault her.
At that time, the old lady of the Liu family led people to find the person and pulled him back. When the old lady of the Liu family saw Liu Nan's cold eyes, her heart was startled. After thinking about it, she felt uneasy and decided to do it once and for all. She sneaked into Liu Nan's boudoir and smashed her granddaughter to death with an inkstone.
When I heard this crazy old woman say this, I couldn't help but feel the hair stand on my head. This old woman is really too vicious! But when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong.
"You...you..." Liu Wenxuan's hands kept shaking, his neck was bleeding from being cut by a knife, and he stared at the old lady of the Liu family, "You are so vicious!"
At this moment, Liu Zian's father Liu Wen Chong suddenly choked and said in a stern voice: "Wen Xuan! How can you say that about your mother!"
Liu Wenchong looked tangled, staring fiercely at his brother Liu Wenxuan, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. The old lady of the Liu family screamed, "Wenchong, don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Wenxuan burst into laughter: "Is this still my mother? Do I have such a vicious mother?"
“Shut up!” Liu Wen Chong was furious, and seemed to no longer care about anything. He pointed at Liu Wenxuan and said sternly: “You…you…you killed Nan’er, do you know that?”
As soon as these words came out, the whole Liu family mansion fell silent. The old lady of the Liu family screamed, raised her cane and was about to hit Liu Wen Chong, as if she was crazy: "What nonsense are you talking about! I was the one who beat that little bastard to death, I was the one who beat him to death! What does it have to do with Wen Xuan!"
While dodging, Liu Wen Chong shouted at Liu Wenxuan, "My mother and I did go to look for Nan'er that night, and she and Nan'er had a conflict! Second brother, you suddenly rushed out and smashed Nan'er's head with an inkstone like crazy! Have you forgotten everything? Are you pretending to be confused? "
"Impossible, how could it be possible, how could I kill Nan'er, she is my daughter!" Liu Wenxuan murmured, and laughed nervously, "How could I, how could I..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly took the knife with both hands and wiped it with force. In an instant, a pool of blood spurted out and splashed all over her daughter.
The knife was slashed with great force, blood gushed out, and the man fell to the ground with a thud. Uncle San and Dead Face rushed over to see that the man was already beyond saving.
Things happened so fast that many people didn't even react. After a while, panicked screams rang out in the Liu family mansion. The old lady of the Liu family howled like a pig being slaughtered, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying loudly. At the end, she began to curse Bai Mei incoherently, cursing Liu Nan as a troublemaker, a bastard, and a debt collector!
Liu Zining burst into tears. I looked at Liu Wenxuan lying in a pool of blood with his eyes open, and I felt confused. Was what Liu Wenchong said true? Was Liu Nan really killed by her father?
I was still young at the time, and I didn't understand many things clearly. A few years later, I had more experience, and I vaguely figured out some of the truth. Liu Wenxuan was a cowardly person. On the one hand, he was intimidated by his mother's majesty, and on the other hand, he loved his wife Baimei very much in his heart. He was the sandwich between them.
When Bai Mei was burned to death, he actually cut off nine fingers to make bone nails for the dead man's face. The reason behind this is worth pondering.
First, it should be because Liu Wenxuan was a very filial son. After learning that Bai Mei's death would be detrimental to the family, he chose to follow the advice of Dead Face and chose to completely destroy the woman he loved most.
Secondly, in fact, refining the white bone nail did not necessarily require the finger of the second young master Liu, but he did so anyway. This should mean that after Bai Mei passed away, his heart was dead, and he wanted to use the pain of cutting off his finger to ease the pain of Bai Mei's death.
In fact, at this time, Liu Wenxuan's mind was already somewhat abnormal, and he had a serious split. Later, as Liu Nan grew up, this girl's weirdness and uniqueness tortured Liu Wenxuan's heart at any time. Coupled with the pressure from his mother and the endless rumors, he completely collapsed.
So in a conflict between Liu Nan and the old lady of the Liu family, Liu Wenxuan finally went crazy and smashed his own daughter to death. Because in Liu Wenxuan's mind, Liu Nan had already become a demon in his heart.
However, this is only my guess after several years. Liu Wenxuan died at that time. Maybe this was a relief for him, but this mystery was buried with him forever.
I was standing next to Liu Zining in a daze. I was used to dealing with dead people, and at a young age, I always thought I was accustomed to life and death. But this time, Liu Wenxuan's death caused a huge wave in my heart that could not be calmed for a long time.
