The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 48
All the people present saw with their own eyes that lying in that coffin was indeed an old man in a blue-bottomed birthday suit. Even though the face of the deceased was as white as a sheet of paper, it was peaceful and not frightening.What provoked people's extreme fear was that there was a five or six-year-old boy kneeling behind the old man's headrest.The boy's arms were twisted from behind, and his whole body was tied tightly with hemp rope in a kneeling position.

Seeing this scene, Xia Xiangxi's tears flowed down her cheeks, without even thinking about it, the boy who was put into the coffin together was murdered to death before being put into the coffin!
A person watching the scene next to him suddenly recognized the boy and cried out miserably, that was the boy's biological father.

Seeing this scene, the fierce man from before retreated slowly into the crowd, and fled when he saw that the situation was not good.

Right now, the family's funeral cannot be completed.The police arrived shortly after.

It turned out that the boy who shouldn't appear in the coffin was the son of the deceased's neighbor.He disappeared the day after the deceased's death.In rural areas, elders have to stop their coffins for seven days before the funeral. During the past few days, the boy's family members are still doing their best to help the family of the deceased to handle the funeral.As for their son, they just thought they were cowardly and hid somewhere. They were concerned about the funeral of the neighbor's family, so they didn't try their best to find it. If they didn't meet grandpa today and he insisted on opening the coffin After the coffin was buried in the cemetery, the gods couldn't find the boy anymore.

The so-called things happen for a reason.There can be no hatred without enmity.That boy was called Xiaolong. He was naturally lively and active, and he was mischievous all day long. His family also worried about him.

Xiaolong and his neighbor's grandfather Yang are very close, Xiaolong's grandfather died early, and Xiaolong often treats the neighbor's grandfather as his own grandfather, so Grandpa Yang also likes Xiaolong, nestling in the corner of the street while basking in the sun , I often tease Xiaolong to play.

That day, all the big guys in the village also saw Xiaolong pretending to be Monkey King on the street to make the big guys laugh. Grandpa Yang laughed the happiest, but for some reason, after laughing a lot, he suddenly fell down, and others passed by. Look, Grandpa Yang was already rolling his eyes. When someone called one of Grandpa Yang's sons over, Grandpa Yang was already out of breath.

Grandpa Yang has always been in good health, and he can't be found for any headache or fever. The sons in the family are also very filial to the old man, and they are discussing together to celebrate Grandpa Yang's [-]th birthday. Before he arrived, the old man was gone, and the sons were crying like a tearful man, and they refused to believe that the old man disappeared just like that.

People in other villages persuaded the old man to go with a smile like Cheng Yaojin when he left. He didn't suffer any pain and he was old, so there was nothing wrong with going like this.But the sons refused to listen, insisting that someone must have harmed their father.It was impossible for the old man to just leave without saying a word.

In this way, the sons sent Grandpa Yang's body to the hospital for an autopsy. It was found that the cause of death was suffocation caused by inhalation of a foreign object into the trachea, and that foreign object was a piece of candy.

Choking to death on a piece of candy is nothing unusual.Check in the news, the number of death cases of choking to death by lump candy or jelly throughout the year is not a small number.

Grandpa Yang's sons still refused to give up, and even tracked down the source of the piece of candy.It didn't take much effort. Someone saw that the piece of candy was fed to Grandpa Yang by Xiaolong.Therefore, several sons of Grandpa Yang all pointed their finger at Xiaolong, saying that it was Xiaolong who killed Grandpa Yang.

Grandpa Yang's family was always difficult to mess with in the village, especially the third child who was fierce and fierce. In the early years, because of the land and homestead in the village, he accidentally killed someone and was imprisoned for many years. For a few years, however, although his character is not good, he is still the most filial to his father.Among the brothers and sisters, he had the worst life at the beginning, and the period after he was released from prison was also the time when he was the most impoverished. It was only in the past two years that he recovered, and his life gradually became prosperous. stand up.He also remarried a young and beautiful woman as his wife. He didn't show his wealth very much, but his wife was different. Every day, she dressed like a townsman, wearing gold and silver, and all ten fingers were covered with gold and precious stones. ring.

The people in the village didn't see that the youngest was doing business to make money, and they didn't know where his family's money came from?Guessing that there must be no good background, maybe it is gangster/society.Originally, the third child was quite aggressive, but now the villagers dared not provoke him.

Xiaolong's father didn't dare to offend the third child. Although he felt that the third child took the shit that killed Grandpa Yang on his son, he felt wronged and didn't dare to speak out. Grandpa Yang wore hemp and filial piety, and he also paid for the funeral expenses of Grandpa Yang's family.With such humility, the third child still refused to let Xiaolong go, and insisted that Xiaolong be buried with his father!

When people are sad, it is understandable to say some exaggerated words. Xiaolong's father didn't take the cruel words of the third child to heart, and forced Xiaolong to go to Grandpa Yang's house to observe his filial piety.That little dragon was only five or six years old, and he was terrified enough to see Grandpa Yang die before his own eyes. Now that his father asked him to accompany Ling to observe his filial piety, he was so frightened that he cried loudly, and refused to go no matter what.Xiaolong's father hit Xiaolong with a broom in anger.

As a mother, she always loves her child with all her heart, so Xiaolong's mother blocked her husband from beating the child. Taking advantage of this time, Xiaolong ran out of the house and disappeared after hitting here.Xiaolong's father always thought that Xiaolong was frightened, and he didn't know where to hide.It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for his son, and he feels that the third child has wronged his son as a murderer, and he is really wronged to death.But who made the third child difficult to mess with, and they were neighbors, and became enemies in the future, so it would be difficult to get along in the village.But in the hope of calming down the matter, he is willing to suffer some grievances.

Now Xiaolong ran away from home, Xiaolong's father still felt a little lucky, he knew that his son was a big kid, and he was very clever, so he ran away when he thought about it, and he didn't go looking for it anymore. Let's talk about this period of time.

He made peace with the third child, saying that Xiaolong was frightened and didn't know where he had gone wild. He was always an ignorant child, so he asked the third child to let Xiaolong go, because of the love of several generations of neighbors. I am willing to spend all my family property to hold a decent funeral for Mr. Yang.

In the past, no matter how much he begged or asked for reconciliation, the third child refused to give favors. I don’t know what happened today. The big eyes stared at Xiaolong's father, and then it seemed that he couldn't stand the persuasion, so his heart softened and wavered, and he let go, asking Xiaolong's father to help them with the old man's funeral, and after the funeral, it will be fine passed.

Xiaolong's father was very happy about this, and spent a lot of money to help Grandpa Yang buy a good coffin. At the funeral, he also ran around like a son, doing his best.

If he hadn't met Xia Xiangxi and his son today, and grandpa got involved inexplicably and pried open Grandpa Yang's coffin, he would never know that his son didn't run away somewhere, but He was put into a coffin by Grandpa Yang's family.

There is basically no suspense in this case, only the third child did something.The police didn't take much effort to arrest the third child.

The first trial of the case was his case.He has always been brooding over Grandpa Yang's death, not only because of his filial piety, but also because his father has always worried about him.He was imprisoned for manslaughter, and it was his father who went around all the time, helping his lawyer find connections and witnesses. If it wasn't for his father, he would have been sentenced to death by the judge.Because of the old father's running around, the third child not only saved his life, but after he came out, it was also the father who gave him a lot of family treasures, so that he was able to stand up and live a good life.With the support of his father, the third child also found a business that can make money, and his life became prosperous. He has always been grateful for everything his father gave him, and thought of being filial to his father. They got together and discussed how to hold a birthday banquet for the old father. It must be the biggest one. He also invited the stars of the song and dance troupe in the city to come and perform for his birthday. He wanted to make his father proud. Before he arrived, his so-called filial piety hadn't been achieved, and his father would be gone. He was still unwilling to accept this fact, and always felt that if it wasn't for Xiaolong, his father would not have died.If a person is stubborn and pushes himself to the bone, it will be in vain for others to waste their time talking.

The third child was supposed to go to Xiaolong's house that night to talk to them "for a while", but before he got to the door, he saw Xiaolong running out by himself, and Xiaolong's father's voice came from the yard, "Let this bastard run away, just treat him as a child." I don't have this son..." and scolded Xiaolong's mother for not allowing him to go to Xiaolong. At that time, he saw that there was no one around, so he wanted to teach Xiaolong to vent his anger, so he rushed forward.He grabbed Xiaolong without any effort at all, and covered his mouth with his hands for fear that he would yell out.

He originally thought of taking Xiaolong home and beating him half to death, so he could vent his anger, but he didn't expect that he was afraid of Xiaolong shouting on the way, and his big hands covered Xiaolong too tightly, and it was a long way to his house, so he In order to avoid being seen by others, he took a detour, and when he returned home, he saw that Xiaolong was no longer alive, and then he realized that the matter was really serious.He used to be in prison, and he has only been out for a few years now. He has lived a good life and married a new wife, so why is he willing to go back to that prison again?
He just thought about how to destroy Xiaolong's body and wiped out all traces. He thought of many ways, but he was afraid of being found out. If the matter was revealed, he still could not escape legal sanctions.After pondering over and over again, he finally came up with a clever way to put Xiaolong in his father's coffin. Once the coffin lid was closed, even if the police came, he would never have imagined that Xiaolong would hide in his father's coffin. in the coffin.He had planned it cleverly, thinking that everything would be seamless, but how did he know that he met his grandfather on the way to the funeral, and the matter was revealed unexpectedly.

The truth of the matter has come to light, and the evil third child who brutally killed others will naturally be severely punished by the law.

These were beyond Xia Xiangxi's control, so she was curious, how did grandpa see through a wronged soul trapped in the coffin, was it because grandpa had yin and yang eyes?
Grandpa shook his head and said no.
