The bearded man looked down the well, thinking that this guy was on the right track. He acted quickly and didn't ask too many questions. He couldn't have noticed something...

Brother Li on the side kept posing. His face was originally so pale that he didn't look like a countryman, but now he looked as if he had applied powder.

The bearded man handed over the gourd and said, "Take a sip to warm yourself up."

Brother Li wanted to refuse, but the wine gourd handed to him exuded a strong aroma of wine. He thought about taking a sip to strengthen his courage. After thanking him, he took the gourd and poured some wine into his mouth.

Seeing that the wine gourd was about to turn upside down, the bearded man shook his beard and quickly reached out to take it back.

After finishing the drink, Muramasa's face trembled and he felt that his whole body was getting hot.

The bearded man shook the gourd, looked at Brother Li's red face, and said, "I keep you here because there are some truths that you need to know."

"the truth?"

Muramasa was a little confused.

…

There was a flash of white light and a roar of thunder.

Shang Ye turned over from the large water tank.

He was caught in the heavy rain, holding the sword embryo, and slowly walked towards the woman kneeling in the rain.

After getting closer, I saw that the woman was about 25 or 26 years old, with a plain appearance. Her hunched and thin body was trying to protect the small child in her arms from the wind and rain.

As soon as Shang Ye walked to the two of them, the wooden door of the house opposite her was opened, and a man came out, stood under the eaves and said, "The old lady is calling you to come in."

After hearing this, the woman quickly stood up, but after kneeling for a long time, her knees were sore and her body was unstable, and she almost fell into the rain. The man couldn't bear it, so he took two steps forward and offered his hand.

But these two people did not notice Shang Ye at all.

But before entering the house, the child lying on the woman's shoulder suddenly opened his dull eyes and glanced at him...

A bit interesting...

Shang Ye looked at the house and knew that he was in an illusion at this moment. After thinking about it, he followed in.

A wisp of green smoke rose from the incense burner and swirled around the room.

An extremely old white-haired old man was half lying and half lying on the large carved mahogany bed. After several people entered the room, he said slowly: "Dazhu, go back and accompany your wife."

The man looked at the woman, hesitant.

"What?" the old man urged.

The man bowed slightly to the old man and walked out the door. When he passed the woman, he stopped and opened his mouth. He hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he softly said: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. Don't delay the old lady's rest."

."

Shang Ye stood motionless at the door, letting the man who left the house pass through his body.

The scene reappears, is the earth bound spirit...

"Ahem."

The old man coughed twice, groped under the pillow, then threw a money bag on the ground and said: "I have not liked Dalei since he was a child. All the children in Lao Li's family are illiterate. He is the only one who can read."

He didn't enter a book, and now he's gone like this... Of course you two can't be considered as having passed through the Li family. Although it's nameless, it's real, alas..."

"I will arrange for Da Lei's funeral to be settled and buried in the ancestral grave... You can take the money and go live somewhere else. Whether you remarry or not has nothing to do with the Li family."

"Take good care of your children, don't let Da Lei live up to his hard work, cough cough..." After the old man finished speaking with great effort, he coughed violently again.

The woman was obviously Mrs. Li Wang. She knelt down again with her child in her arms, but ignored the money bag. Instead, she choked and said: "I am not here for money..."

Shang Ye, who was listening, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked out the door.

There seems to be some movement in the rain curtain...

The scene here was going back to reveal the truth again. Shang Ye didn't bother to go out to check, so he had to hold an evil amulet and be on guard secretly.

"Why is that?" the old man asked, his voice showing fatigue.

Then, the woman started to talk with tears in her eyes.

"I went to the county town to collect the body from the head of the family, but the body had been burned by the people in Yizhuang, leaving only a handful of ashes. I went to ask for an explanation, but they said there was no space in Yizhuang, so they just disposed of it casually..."

"I went to the restaurant of Dalei Pavilion again to inquire, but no one answered me. Seeing that the business was being delayed, the shopkeeper even had me kicked out. In the next few days, I came to the restaurant every day, but couldn't even get in, so I sneaked in through the back door.

Go in, hoping to meet some kind-hearted people who can tell me that Da Lei is fine, but why did he fall to his death?"

"That day, outside the back kitchen window, I overheard the drunken chef talking to someone. He said, he said..." At this point, Li Wang's tears couldn't stop flowing, "He said that Da Lei was raped by someone.

The beating was so miserable. I stepped forward and asked him, but he denied it."

"I was panicked at the time. He pushed me out and knocked on the door but there was no answer. When I came back the next day, the shopkeeper said that this man had quit his job and returned to his hometown."

"I was in a foreign land and couldn't make up my mind, so I had to go to the government for help. The official said that he would send someone to inquire, but later he replied that there was no such thing. My man fell to death. If he wanted to file a complaint, he would produce witnesses and physical evidence.

Otherwise, it is just provoking quarrels and disturbing the court."

Shang Ye listened to the woman's narration, but stared outside the door tightly. He could feel that there were people outside, and there were more than one...

"I had no choice. I wanted to go back to my hometown. Before I left, a girl came to me. She said she was a singer in a restaurant. She was bullied by a noble man a few days ago. It was my man who rescued her. The young man threatened to kill her.

Big Thunder, that night, Big Thunder, he was gone..."

"We made an appointment to see the official, but when we went to see her the next day, she refused to admit what she said yesterday and refused to go to the court to testify. So I had to go alone to complain. The yamen dragged me out. The official said it was useless.

There is no evidence. If I hadn't seen my youngest son nearby, I would have been punished."

"Old Ancestor, I really have no choice. There are children of Lao Li's family who are serving as officials outside. You keep asking the adults to find out how Lei died. He can't die without knowing it!"

After the woman finished speaking, the old man who had been silent said expressionlessly: "I understand, I understand..."

Just then.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and three men in black clothes wearing rain hats rushed in.

Shang Ye looked at it but put down the sword in his hand. These people seemed to be phantoms in the scene.

"Who are you?!" The old man struggled to get up.

Two men in black took off their rain hats and rushed over. One held down the old man's hands and feet, and the other pulled up the quilt and covered the old man's head. Then he took a pillow and pressed it firmly on it.

The woman saw that these people were trying to cover the old man to death, and just as she was about to scream, a bright sword was placed on her neck.

The man holding the sword covered his face with a black cloth. He looked at the woman and said: "You don't care about this woman, your legs and feet are very fast. It's just the heavy rain that makes the mountain road difficult to travel. Otherwise, there will be no trouble. Let me ask you something.

Didn’t you tell others about your husband?”

The woman's eyes widened, full of fear, and she hugged the child tightly without saying a word.

The man in black lowered the blade of his sword, placed it in front of the child, and threatened, "Will you tell me?"

"No, no."

The woman hugged the child's head and shook her head.

"Let's take one step at a time, I'm sorry you don't have time."

Shang Ye, who stayed out of the incident, took a few steps to the bedside and observed the murder scene. One of the men in black squatted on the bed and took off his shoes. He put his calf against the old man's knee and spread the old man's hands.

, pressed tightly on the quilt.

Is this to prevent the victim from struggling and injuring himself...

After a while, the old man under the quilt stopped moving. Shang Ye could only see a look of indifference in the eyes of the two masked men.

A professional killer...

After the two men in black confirmed that the old man had died, one began to make the bed, and the other, after examining the old man's body, actually started to arrange the remains of the body.

Shang Ye turned his head and looked at the woman huddled in the corner with her child in her arms, secretly thinking, do you want to tell me this?

The man in black who was making the bed finished quickly. He came to the woman, took out a dagger, and threatened: "Come with me."

Shang Ye saw two men in black leading the mother and son out, so he followed them. Before leaving, he glanced at the bed, where the remaining men in black spread their fingers and were "squeezing the face" of the old man...

The woman was trembling under the heavy rain, and the child seemed to be frightened and just buried his head in his mother's arms. Of course, it was useless even if he cried, because the sound of wind and rain would cover everything up.

Not far away, a man in black stood by the well, looked at it, came back, and said: "Something bad happened, second brother, damn, that's a dry well..."

When the woman heard this, she still didn't understand. The man in black had no intention of surviving. She immediately shouted for help and ran away. The man in black who was guarding her jumped up, landed on the road, and snatched her into his arms.

The child was thrown to another person and said: "If you want your son to die before you, just scream louder."

Mrs. Li watched her son burst into tears, but she did not dare to cry out. She could only kneel down and beg for mercy. When she was about to hit her forehead on the stone floor, the man in black stretched out his toes to cushion her, and said coldly: "Don't do it."

move."

The little child lost his mother's arms, his hands were grabbed again, and he finally cried.

At this time, the man in black came out of the room and asked, "What's going on?"

"Brother, the plan has changed. It is a dry well with only a little water..."

The man in black, who was called Big Brother, walked to the well and observed it, then jumped in. After a while, he jumped out in the air and said to several people: "The water is being turned up below. It should be connected to the water channel. It is raining continuously.

After a while, the well water will overflow."

"Then we wait?"
To be continued...
