"There's a ghost upstairs!"
The people who fell down the stairs were so scared that they scrambled and ran out of the house. Old Wei looked at the stairs in surprise, with a nervous look on his face. I held Xiao Fan under my arm and rushed up the stairs quickly. Just after running two steps, I heard a cracking sound and the stairs broke and collapsed. I was so scared that I quickly jumped back. Damn it, there must be a ghost up there, otherwise people would not have such great strength.
Xiao Dong, on the other hand, was very calm at this moment. He leaned against the wall and said coldly, "You held my child and broke the stairs. You are simply a robber. Uncle Wei, I am so disappointed in you. You actually allowed the robbers to break into the house and rob. You might as well just kill us both!"
These words were so sharp that Old Man Wei was speechless. Even though there was a ghost upstairs and the woman had used extraordinary means, she didn't harm anyone after all. Instead, it was the man who held someone's child hostage and destroyed someone's stairs, which was really outrageous.
"Bumpkin, I caught someone. Guess who it is?"
At this moment, Shen Bing's cheers came from the bottom floor, and her smiling face appeared in a hole burned in the floor. I rolled my eyes and immediately said, "It's Miao Fengyi's father!"
"You little country bumpkin are so smart. Here's a reward for you..." Shen Bing blew me a kiss.
Xiaodong's face suddenly changed, and she swung her right hand violently, and a black shadow quickly shot over. My buddy was so happy that he was a little distracted. He was caught off guard and got flustered. He fell to the ground and rolled away, throwing Xiaofan far away. Xiaodong flew over and hugged Xiaofan in her arms. I thought she was going to save him, but I didn't expect that she was holding a shiny knife in her hand, holding it across Xiaofan's throat.
"All of you get out, or I will kill Xiaofan!" The woman had a ruthless look on her face, and it seemed that she would not show mercy even if the person was her own son.
"Xiaodong, that's your biological son!" When Old Man Wei saw this scene, he realized that there was still something wrong with this woman, and shouted angrily.
"Hmph, I don't care about this kind of cripple. If you want me, I'll support you after I leave this village!" The bitch's ruthless and harsh words made Old Man Wei and I furious.
Shen Bing below was furious: "Are you still a human? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, you are worse than an animal!"
The bitch held Xiao Fan hostage and retreated to the collapsed staircase. She suddenly sneered and seemed very excited. She said bitterly, "I was forced to marry Gu Qinglin for more than ten years. I endured everything silently for a long time. I always wanted to leave him, leave this damn place, and return to my home. Why do you want to destroy all this? Why?"
I was moved. Was she forced to marry Gu Qinglin? But even if this marriage was illegal, the child was innocent. Why did they treat Xiaofan like this? Isn't this child very irritable? Why did he remain indifferent after hearing his mother's words? And when he was threatened with a knife by his own mother, there was no fear on his face? Instead, his fierce eyes were fixed on us, which made me feel incredible.
"Let's talk it over nicely. As long as you don't hurt the child, we won't stop you from leaving Shiyuan Village." Old Man Wei said sincerely.
"I don't believe it. All of you go out and go back to your homes. Let me take Xiaofan out of the village. Go find him outside Yunwu Mountain tomorrow!" said the bitch with a cruel look on her face.
Old man Wei and I exchanged glances. At this point, there was nothing anyone could do. We could only withdraw first. We both turned around and left the house, standing at the bottom of the stairs. Shen Bing came out from the bottom floor, followed by the Shar Pei dog and Gu Xiaoning, escorting an old man covered in mud, who was Miao Fengyi's father.
Miao Fengyi was about to cry to death. Suddenly she looked up and saw her father in front of her. She was stunned. She looked down at the body lying on the ground, and then at her father whose arm was twisted by the Shar Pei dog. She obviously couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake.
The old man whose arm was twisted by the Shar Pei said to Miao Fengyi in shame: "Xiao Feng, the corpse you are crying about is fake, I am your father!"
"This... What's going on?" Miao Fengyi sat back with a thud, her voice very hoarse.
"Alas, it's my fault that I was confused. I'm sorry, Gu Qinglin..." The old man said this, lowered his head and couldn't say any more.
As we listened to the conversation between the father and daughter, Gu Xiaoning kept an eye on the situation in the room and interrupted, "The stinky woman went upstairs!"
Everyone turned around and found Xiaodong holding Xiaofan's neck and climbing up to the third floor from a ladder. Inspired by this, Old Man Wei turned around and whispered to a few people. Soon, someone brought seven or eight bamboo ladders and set them up on the stilt house. The height of the ladder just reached the window on the third floor. I immediately took the lead and climbed up a ladder. Shen Bing was unwilling to lag behind and climbed up from the ladder next to her.
Old Man Wei and several strong young men quietly followed and climbed up from the other ladders. Shen Bing, Old Man Wei and I were the closest to the window, so we climbed to the upper window and looked inside. That bitch Xiaodong was right there. She had tied up Xiaofan with a rope and covered his eyes with a black cloth, as if she was afraid that he would use the jade refining technique through his eyes.
When we climbed up, she had already noticed it. She turned her head and looked out the window and sneered, "If anyone dares to enter the window, I will kill Xiaofan immediately."
The three of us were filled with righteous indignation. This woman was so damn inhumane, but there was nothing we could do. This time she didn't chase us away, so we could only hold back our anger for the time being and act according to circumstances.
The bitch dragged Xiaofan to a bed covered with a quilt, which was bulging high. There should be someone hidden inside. I guess it was a corpse. As expected, after she lifted the quilt, a naked dead person appeared, with a bent left leg, obviously a cripple. It was obvious that it was Gu Qinglin, who was definitely not in the coffin.
After taking a look at the corpse, Old Man Wei gave me a thumbs-up with a look of sincere admiration. However, Shen Bing closed her eyes and lowered her body. She was embarrassed by the naked man.
The bitch strangled Xiaofan's neck with her left hand, and with her right hand she scratched Gu Qinglin's neck with a knife, then slowly cut down along the neck to the armpit, with the tip of the knife. Damn it, she was going to skin him! The bitch couldn't find the real jade-refining technique tattoo on Gu Qinglin's body, and now time was running out, so she had to peel off the flesh from his entire body and take it away to study it slowly later.
Old man Wei waved and gestured to me with a surprised look on his face, as if to ask, what was she going to do
I thought, it's hard to explain, I frowned and said nothing. I touched my nose and thought, since Gu Qinglin is dead, I'll let her cut off the skin, I can still get it back when I find a chance.
When her knife cut into the corpse's abdomen and turned to cut under the opposite ribs, the corpse suddenly sat up. At the same time, the corpse's right hand tightly grasped the bitch's knife-holding wrist, and the left hand punched her chest. The bitch screamed "Ah", and the whole person immediately curled up into a ball, collapsed on the ground, her face turned pale, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth!
