Yin-Yang Judge of Hell - C21
Could it be that I’m relying on the hidden eyes on my forehead to sense yin and yang? Mrs. Zhao said that the righteousness of this eye frightened her, which explained why when I first arrived at Uncle Fu’s house, they were so frightened that they ran up to the poplar tree. It also explained why Mrs. Zhao, who had been behind the glass the first time Glass and I went to the south side of the mountain to search for bones, hesitated when she saw me pushing them down. When I removed the nail, the two cyclones disappeared without a trace because of my return, which seemed to explain it as well. But if that was the case, why would Cao Laowu dare to come?
“Old Lady Zhao, why are you mixed up with Old Cao? Old Cao’s personality is irritable, and he does things in the wrong. If you mess around with him, I’m afraid it will increase your guilt.”
Old Madame Zhao didn’t answer me immediately, but her face gradually revealed an angry expression. She remained calm for a long while before speaking.
“I came here to be heartless. Back then, when he dug up my corpse, I went to find his wife, Gui Hua, to settle the score.” Actually, I didn’t mean to harm her in the beginning, I just wanted to teach him a lesson. Moreover, Li-ge Li also begged for mercy on his behalf, so I did as I was told, so I gave him some money and left without delay. But Laifu was too unkind. He thought I could not come back after I left, so he went up the mountain again to break my corpse. How could I let him off when I had such a wicked heart? Thus, I followed him back. When I came back, Ol ‘Five was already on top of the osmanthus flowers, and we only found out that our goal was the same after chatting for a while, so we tortured her together, and that was why she died so quickly. I don’t really know what kind of person Ol ‘Five is, because I didn’t say much to him. ”
“Including that night when Auntie Gui Hua was trying to make her drink to make her die earlier?” I know that Aunt Guihua’s body was very weak at that time. If she drank a lot of alcohol, it would harm her body greatly. She might even die suddenly.
Old Madame Zhao nodded, then added, “Then you were the one who trapped my grandson in a poplar tree and set fire to him. I was angry at the time, so I took the risk. But you seemed to realize at the time that I didn’t dare to stay any longer, so I left. ”
It seemed that Old Madame Zhao’s motive was quite simple. It was because she came back to avenge her Uncle Fu that she came back for a second time. And the glass nail trapped his grandson, so he was glazed again. As for the glass, I can only say that it was a waste, and a loss is a waste, which eventually led to the fire burning my body. Up until now, there was a reason for Old Madame Zhao’s actions. She had not done it on purpose, so it could be said that she was somewhat forgiving. I suddenly thought of a problem here, which was the “Brother Li” mentioned by Mrs. Zhao. From that sentence, it was not hard to guess that this “Brother Li” was the current flower leopard, but why would she call him that?
After asking her about it, I finally understood that Old Madame Zhao had known of the flower leopard cat before. Back then, when she escaped, the flower leopard cat had rescued her more than once. However, that was a rather difficult situation, so the flower leopard cat was helpless in the end. After Old Madame Zhao and her grandson had starved to death, the flower leopard still buried them. No wonder he was so angry at Li Fu for burning his bones up and not willing to help him again. It was not just because Cao Lao Wu was too fierce, but also because Hua Li Cat could not beat him.
I sighed. The grudge between Uncle Fu and Old Lady Zhao was actually caused by a misunderstanding. It really made one at a loss of whether to laugh or to cry. I looked at Candle and thought how easy it was to solve the misunderstanding between the two of them, as long as they were able to say it out loud, but how was Mrs. Zhao going to solve her problem when she came home?
“Yin and Yang have their own rules. Now that you guys have misunderstood, there’s no need to cause trouble for each other anymore.” As for the problem of getting rich and destroying your bones, I will send you home as compensation. However, you can’t continue to cause trouble anymore. You should go and reincarnate earlier. ”
Old Madame Zhao thanked him profusely before turning around to leave. Before she left, she left behind a few words, “Shannan, you must pay more attention!” By the time he finished speaking, he had already disappeared into the darkness.
I looked at the bolt, and it pointed to the incense in my hand. The incense had burned more than half of it, which meant that it was getting late, so I had to hurry. I immediately asked, “When you came, did you see Cao Lao Wu? He left through the window.”
Thug smiled and said, “Why would I see him? Do you want to interrogate him?”
“You came in the moment he left, how could you not see him?” I was very clear that I had to interrogate him today, or else there would be some sort of trouble tomorrow.
So I hit the log and shouted, “Cao Lao Wu!”
The surroundings were completely silent. The three candles were still burning brightly, illuminating the surroundings so brightly that there were no signs of anything happening. Then the plug turned around and bent down and whispered a name in my ear, a name I knew well. “He told me to send a letter to you, telling you to punish Cao Laowu severely, but you can’t call his real name, so it’s better to ask him first.”
With that said, I immediately understood, so I shouted, “Song De Shu!”
Song Deshu is the father of Uncle Fu, if you call him elder, I have to call him grandpa, he belongs to the grandpa generation. He had a long, pointed chin, and a mustache, very similar to that of Avanti. There was a scar on the left side of his face, and it was said that he had swam when he was young. We used to see him sitting under the jujube tree in front of the gate when we went up the mountain, but now the jujube tree is long gone, because when he died, Uncle Laifu cut it all down to build the yard.
As soon as I said that, I saw the outline of a person slowly appear at the border of darkness and light in front of the desk. It was squatting. As the light in that spot was dim, this person appeared rather quickly. It was as though he had been waiting there for a long time, waiting for me to call out to him.
I stared at the man, but because I was too far away to see him clearly, I wasn’t sure if it was Sung De Shu.
“Song De Shu, come over and sit down.” I said. On the right side of the desk was a stone block, similar to an ancient embroidery block, specially designed for people to sit on. I didn’t know about this until Old Lady Zhao sat on it. I thought that Scholar Song De had been extremely honest, kind and kind to me. The reason he said he was nice to me was because when I was a kid, he caught me stealing dates from his family. Not only did he not hit us, but every time he saw me, he would give me a few dates to eat, so in my heart, he was a very good person. Now that he is old enough, out of respect, I ask him to sit down.
He just looked up and said, “No need, no need, it’s fine as long as I squat down. Squatting down is fine!” It sounded very polite.
“Come and sit down and let me look at you.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Me is used to squatting.”
Something strange had happened. He had been too well-behaved in his previous life, but why was he still so honest after death? I also knew that the reason he didn’t come over was not because he was comfortable squatting down. To put it bluntly, he was cowardly and cowardly, and being honest was sometimes the same thing.
I shouted again, “Sung De Shu, come and sit down.” This time, I spoke in a very serious tone. I thought maybe that was why he came over and sat down when he felt the pressure. However, he never expected that after hearing that, he would actually stand up and run into the darkness.
I was completely dumbfounded. I didn’t expect him to be this scared. When I saw that he had run off without a trace, I immediately shouted, “I’m Erlang. You don’t have to bother yourself with Uncle Fu’s matters anymore.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the bolt next to me prodded me with its finger, then waved my hand to indicate that I should not reveal my name.
At this point, Songde Shu also stopped in his tracks, turned around, and walked back. As he approached, I finally saw his face. Nothing had changed, not even his stooped back and the way he walked, but the sight of him made me feel terribly uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because he had seen someone who had died and was an acquaintance, but when he thought about sitting with this person, he felt an inexplicable fear.
Upon hearing my name, Song De didn’t seem to be afraid anymore. It was as though he was filled with doubts and doubts. He stretched out his neck and moved closer step by step, his eyebrows knitted tightly together. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth. He slapped his thigh and pointed at me with a smile. “Aiyo, it really is Erlang. Why are you the judge now?”
I smiled and nodded my head, thinking that I couldn’t do that. It seemed that his current attitude was as though he was trying to get along with me. With so little time left, I didn’t have the time to waste on him. Thus, I slammed down on the wood and shouted, “Go sit over there!”
Song Deshu trembled in fright, but he didn’t dare to say anything. He could only turn around and sit in front of the stone block.
“What kind of enmity has Cao Ol’fifth had with you?”
“A holiday?” Song De Shu frowned. From his expression, it seemed that he was trying his best to remember. After a long while, he slowly said, “Festival?” This could be considered a holiday, but it isn’t, because I didn’t have much contact with him, and it was only for one occasion. Because of the matter of the land, he took over my family’s land, it’s fine if you say so little, but that time he did too much, he completely plowed my family’s three ploughs, I really couldn’t stand it, so I fought with him, his wife died early, he had no son, so he didn’t beat us. In the end, he swore that even if he died, he would find us to settle the score. When I fell ill, he dragged me away, and now he is here to cause trouble at my house. Me can’t beat him myself, so I can only come here and complain. That’s the situation. Erlang, our relationship isn’t too far apart. You have to help me with this matter. ”
So it turned out that Uncle Fu and Old Cao had been enemies for a long time. Perhaps it was because Uncle Fu hadn’t thought of it in a while. From the looks of it, the mistake did not lie with Uncle Fu. It seemed that he had to look for Cao Laowu.
“Anything else?” Because I think that this matter is not so big as Song De Shu said, logically speaking, there would not be such a huge grudge.
“There really isn’t anything else. This happened before the redistribution of the land. Later on, he and I were no longer on the side of the road, so we have even less interaction.”
“Then do you know the name of Cao Ol’fifth?”
Song De was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t understand my question, and muttered, “Isn’t it just Cao Lao Wu?!”
“My name!” I added.
“It should be Jia Lai, from Jiashan County. Why do you ask? “
