Chapter 21 Dead Body in the Mountains
Ye Kui was exhausted and had a burning pain in her legs. Her mind was in a chaotic state and did not notice Mei's abnormality.
She thought she would die again the moment she was bitten by a dog, and maybe she could return to the world that belonged to her and continue the ended life. But she still woke up.
"It finally subsided and I had a great life." Chi Po's expression remained unchanged and she said lightly.
Ye Shu had previously told her what happened on the day when she was attacked by a dog. She knew that Chi Po saved her life, so she smiled and thanked Chi Po. Chi Po looked at her, and there was a strange look in her unblind eyes. Ye Kui was stunned, and then she saw Ding Duofu wearing a wet straw raincoat and lowered his head to come in: "I can't find anyone."
"Who are you looking for?" Ye Kui was still confused and looked at Mei when she heard this.
Mei Shi listened to her voice that seemed a little dumb because she had not spoken for many days, and did not dare to look at her. She was obviously just a child, but she could not look into her eyes and say that.
Li Xiaojiu had only been away for a few hours, and Ye Shu didn't know about this. When he saw Ye Kui ask, he also asked: "Dad, who are you looking for?"
Ding Duofu was stunned when he saw Ye Kui half leaning against the pillow. After a while, he said: "That's great, Xiao Yezi is awake. That's great..."
After saying a few words, I seemed to avoid talking about their questions.
Ye Kui drank another cup of water, and finally woke up. Looking around, she finally found something wrong. "Where did your brother go? Why didn't I see him?"
"He, he... I made a pair of shoes yesterday and asked him to send them to Chunjiang. I think I want to stay there for a day. I should come back tomorrow." Mei lied stumbled.
Ye Kui felt a stern.
At this time, how could Mei ask Xiaojiu to send any shoes? This is obviously what she wants to mess with!
Xiaojiu mentioned to her that she was leaving, but how could she leave without saying goodbye?
"Brother, are you missing?"
When Mei heard this, she looked at her, her mouth twitched, but she couldn't answer. Chi Po, who was standing beside her, suddenly said: "Your brother and others went to Xining Mountain to help you find medicine, but they disappeared."
The rain sounded outside the house, and Ye Kui shivered.
In this way, even she was not sure whether Xiaojiu left Taohua Village or encountered danger in the mountains. After all, she was still a child, alone in the forest, and when it was raining heavily, it was a lot of danger.
Mei didn't dare to look at her, so she stepped back to the door, looked at the rain outside, leaned on it and muttered to herself: "This rain seemed like God came down to block the road..."
I finally waited until the rain became smaller, and it was almost dusk.
Xiaojiu has not returned yet.
Ding Duofu and his men didn't even use food, so they put on a straw raincoat and went up the mountain with fine raindrops. Everyone couldn't find it. Zhu Gang gritted his teeth and led the people into the depths of the forest. On the rainy day, it quickly became dark. Several men lit torches poured with tung oil and continued to move forward in the darkness of the night.
This time, God pays off and finally found a trace!
In the swaying fire, there were muddy shoes lying quietly in the wet grass...
Ding Duofu was surprised and happy, and hurriedly said, "It's Xiaojiu's shoes! It's his shoes! This was made by the bride of the child before, so I will never admit my mistake in the craftsmanship!"
But, here are the shoes, where are the people?
After getting closer and looking closely, Ding Duofu took a breath, and the dark red stagnant on his shoes was washed away by the rain, and he gradually swam away.
——It’s blood!
There is blood on the shoes!
Everyone was shocked, quickened their pace, and continued to advance deeper with vigilance.
The night wind was whistling, and the mountains and forests were silent. From time to time, the green eyes flashed across the distance. When they looked closely, they seemed to be red. Everyone knew that the eyes of beasts were a little timid. Just now, a man in the crowd shouted suddenly: "Someone!"
Someone?
Where did people come from this wilderness?
Several people rushed over with the bright-eyed young man. After seeing that, Ding Duofu's legs were about to become weak. The figure leaned over and fell to the ground, the clothes gradually became clear under the fire...
——"Xiao Jiu!"
Ding Duofu shouted, threw the torch and leaned over to hug him. But his subordinates were full of biting chills, and his body was even stiff like a sunken tree. He was shocked and his hand was holding him back. But when he touched just now, the person on the ground had already exposed a broken and ferocious face under the dim firelight...
...
When the news of finding the body reached the foot of the mountain, Mei collapsed to the ground in shock, with a panic on his face.
Ye Kui was also extremely surprised.
How could he really die?
I had just told her a few days ago that I was probably going back, but why did I die now?
But the bodies were found, how could this matter be fake?
The rules in Taohua Village are that children under the age of twelve must be buried the next day. Time is tight and even the coffin cannot be found. Zhu Gang felt guilty and took the birthday materials prepared by his mother.
On the day of the burial, Ye Kui went to see her off regardless of her leg injury.
Looking at the smoke rising in the mourning hall, she could no longer suppress the doubt that came to her after being shocked.
Since the body was destroyed by wild beasts, why is the face the most ruined?
First, Xiaojiu's face is too recognizable in such places, and second, the red tears at the corners of his eyes are not a common thing. So as soon as she knew that it was the face that was ruining, she felt like she wanted to take a look at it herself.
As soon as she entered the mourning hall, she cried and pounced on the edge of the coffin.
The body looked terrifying and covered with a white cloth. Mei was afraid that she would be frightened when she saw the scene, so she hurried forward to stop it.
But the face has been ruined, and it is the same whether you look at it or not.
What she wants to see is the back of the corpse.
But the body was lying on her back and she had no way to see it. So she was waiting for this moment. Mei came to stop her and she cried and struggled. While she struggled, she tiptoed and reached out to the body of the coffin, trying to open the body a little and take a look at the pattern on her waist.
But……
Only a little bit off!
Mei suddenly became ruthless, hugged her away, covered her eyes, and comforted her: "Don't cry or not, my mother will accompany Xiao Yezi, stop crying..."
Immediately, someone stepped forward to close the lid of the coffin and sealed it.
She heard the sound and finally gave up.
Xiaojiu had a large tattoo on his back. Because he was cautious, the Ding family never noticed it. She just saw it accidentally by the river that day. But although she didn't know what was stabbed on it, she could definitely use her current technology to draw the same picture in just a few hours. So if there was no tattoo on the back of this corpse, it would naturally be fake.
So she suspected that she wanted to confirm!
But there is no way.
The coffin was buried in the soil, but her heart full of doubts and guilt could no longer fall. If it was really Xiaojiu lying inside, wasn't all this her fault? Originally, he was about to leave, but now he can only lie in the cold ground waiting for the rotten...
After the funeral, her foot injury worsened and she had no choice but to rest in bed again.
