Li Huai stepped forward and asked, "What did you find?"
"Under the kitchen, I found a basement. There were a lot of bones in the basement. It smelled bad and it looked like a slaughterhouse."
"What?" Li Huai asked in disbelief: "Slaughterhouse? Is it pigs, cattle and sheep?"
He was even more angry. Shopkeeper Cao hid so many pigs, cattle and sheep in his home, but secretly slaughtered them without taking them to honor his old man. It was really too much.
The officer and soldier shook his head, with a very ugly look on his face: "No...it's not pigs, cattle, sheep, but..."
"But what? What are you doing that makes you stutter?"
"It's human!" The officer and soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "When we looked at those bones, they didn't look like the bones of pigs, cattle or sheep, but human bones..."
"..."
Li Huai suddenly opened his mouth wide, but could not utter a word for a while.
Ruan Xiangxiang was calm inside, but had a frightened look on her face.
"mother."
Like a frightened little girl, she turned towards Li Cui and held her hand with both hands.
However, at this moment, Li Cui was more frightened than she was, her face turned pale with fright, and her hands were as cold as anyone's.
Chu Munan looked at Ruan Xiangxiang's appearance and complained in her heart: My sister's acting skills are really good.
He turned his gaze and landed on Ruan Sanbao's face. He saw his big black and white eyes open. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was frightened or didn't understand.
Chu Munan stretched out his hand to him: "Sambo, come to brother."
Ruan Sanbao quickly ran over and hugged Chu Munan's arm, trembling.
He seemed to be scared out of his wits.
Chu Zichen stood up: "Let's go, take me to see."
Li Huai was shaken, as if he was waking up from a dream. He quickly stepped forward and stopped Chu Zichen.
"Young Master Chen has a noble status. Such a filthy and filthy place is really not worthy of Young Master Chen. It is better for me to wait for my subordinates to lead people to find out the truth, and then come back and report to the Young Master."
"No need!" Chu Zichen waved his hand: "Since I have encountered this matter, why not go and check it out personally?"
With that said, Chu Zichen gestured to the officers and soldiers: "Lead the way."
Although the officers and soldiers did not know Chu Zichen's identity, they knew that his identity must be extraordinary when they saw their master being so flattering to him.
Now that he has given an order, how dare they disobey him?
When passing by Ruan Xiangxiang, Chu Zichen greeted her cordially: "If the girl is afraid, you can stay up there with your family and wait."
"No." Ruan Xiangxiang shook his head, with a sad look on his face: "Shopkeeper Cao is very kind to us. I really can't believe that he is such a person. So, I must see it with my own eyes, otherwise I will never believe that outsiders treat him
framed."
With that said, she turned to Li Cui: "Mom, you can stay here with Sanbao and Munan. I can just follow you."
"No!" Li Cui hurriedly took her hand.
"No!" Chu Munan refused flatly.
The end result was that a group of people, including Ruan Sanbao, went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the pile of firewood behind the stove has been moved aside. In its original position, a one-meter-diameter round hole is exposed, with a gray-brown wooden cover next to it.
At this time, a strong rancid smell filled the kitchen.
Chu Munan reached into her arms and took out a snow-white handkerchief, then handed it to Ruan Xiangxiang and motioned for her to cover her mouth and nose.
Ruan Xiangxiang nodded slightly. She wanted to give the handkerchief to Li Cui, but Li Cui took out two dark handkerchiefs from his sleeves, gave one to Ruan Sanbao, and covered his mouth and nose with the other.
