The old man moved his hand and cut another knife on the mute's neck, and said nonchalantly, "Even if you don't answer, I'm not afraid. Because if you die, someone will come over. The mastermind behind you will always show his fox tail, and he will be killed." I've got the handle. Everything will come out!
"I just pity you. You have been pretending to be a mute beggar for so many years and suffered so much. In the end, no one may even know. The master behind you wants to call you a trash!
"What do you think you are trying to do? You have wasted half your life here! We fight openly and secretly, but I have many children and grandchildren, and you will die and feed the wild dogs with a roll of straw mat."

The old man clicked his tongue and shook his head slowly. The mockery and pity on his face were undisguised.

The mute's eyes were extremely red, his chest was heaving violently, and he wanted to eat someone.

I don’t know if I am unwilling to accept this life, or if I hate the old man for saying this.

The old man pulled the thing out of his mouth and said with a smile, "I'll give you a chance to say what you need to say and ask what you need to ask before you die, so that you don't have to go to the Lord of Hell and sue me! Of course! , in exchange, I will also ask a few questions, and you must answer them truthfully. Otherwise, if you know my origin but have not learned my methods, you will definitely regret it!"

The mute's throat was dry and itchy, and he coughed crazily for a long time. Then he stared at the old man and asked in a hoarse voice, "First of all, how did you know that I came here tonight? Also, is that thing really here with you?"

The old man sneered and cut him again, "Have you forgotten that now you are the fish and I am the knife? If you want to ask, I will ask first! Tell me, how do you and the master behind you know that the thing is in my hands? of?"

The mute gritted his teeth in hatred and replied in a low voice, "The seventh battalion is the most loyal to the general. If the general entrusts him with anything, he will definitely choose the seventh battalion. And you are the only one alive in the seventh battalion!"

"That's it!" Mr. Tai smiled proudly, "If the enemy can praise us so much, my seventh battalion's reputation will last forever."

The mute asked, "How did you know that I was going to set a fire tonight before you said anything?"

The old man looked a little weird and responded, "I said I dreamed about it, wouldn't you believe it? But I really didn't lie. In my dream, I saw you carrying an oil can and spraying it on the windows and doors. Then, after lighting the fire, he squatted outside the yard and secretly watched us put out the fire, to see if I could snatch out the hidden things..."

The mute's eyes widened, and his cloudy eyes became surprisingly clear.

He doesn't believe that there is such a thing as a dream warning in the world, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't believe it. This is indeed what he plans to do. Mr. Tai is right!
Mr. Tai didn't wait for him to ask further questions. He changed his words and said, "It's your turn to answer my question. Is this the person behind you?"

He made a "two" gesture with his right hand, "The general has passed away, and he has benefited the most. Don't say it's not him, I won't believe it."

Mute was so angry that he wanted to struggle, but his neck hurt too much, so he could only curse, "You don't believe me, and you still ask me what I am doing."

"I'm kidding you!" The old man stopped laughing and pressed the blade up again, "Over the years, our family has suffered a lot because of your calculations. Even my old lady died in your hands.

"I don't want to find you all the time, chop you into pieces and feed it to the dogs. Today you finally fell into my hands. It's an eye-opener!"

While he was talking, the mute's neck was cut open again. It hurt so much that he tried to hide inside, and he couldn't help but beg for mercy.

"Wait, wait! I know a lot of things, I'll tell you, spare my life. I also obey orders, I have no grudge against your family!"

It's a pity that the old man didn't want to hear it at all, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, so he started talking like beans.

"It's not that I want to harm you, but I have a son who was caught by the master's family, and I have to stay here. If I can't go back with that thing, the master's family will kill my son!

"It's not that I'm here to set fire today, it's because the master is forcing me to do it! The master has already sent someone here again. If I don't succeed, neither my son nor I will survive!
"Uncle Six, Uncle Six! Spare my life, I am willing to help you, I am willing..."

The old man's ears seemed to be blocked, and he had no expression at all. He was just cutting the mute's neck with a knife.

The mute was so anxious that he said whatever he remembered, some of which were useful and some of which were useless.

In fact, the old man listened to it all, and his mind was spinning wildly until the mute could no longer say anything.He just cut his throat with a knife!
The sawdust and shavings all over the house are good things, absorbing all the blood.

The old man sat next to the mute body and was silent for a long time before opening the door and calling his son in.

"When a person dies, carry him to the mountains and bury him. Remember to bring sesame balls to help. I will handle the rest!
When the village asks tomorrow, they will say that the mute cut off the fishing net and ran away in the middle of the night! "

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong glanced at the mute's body, their hearts beating wildly.

Although the family has gone through a lot in the past six months, this is the first time that they have killed someone and buried a body!

The two brothers nodded bravely, peeled off the fishing net from the mute's body, then found a ragged felt and rolled the mute in.

They were also careful and even stuffed a lot of sawdust into the felt for fear of blood dripping out.

Sesame Ball silently ran ahead to clear the way, followed by Tai Jizong, who was carrying the body, and Tai Jizong, who was holding two pickaxes...

When Mr. Tai saw his sons walking away, he collected the sawdust and shavings in the house and burned them under the large stove in the thatched shed outside the wall. The hot water in the pot made a gurgling sound.

He couldn't help but look to the north. Naturally, he couldn't see anything in the darkness.But his eyes were full of nostalgia...

The morning in Taijia Village came as always. The women of each family were busy all afternoon and half the night yesterday. They cleaned the house, washed the clothes in the yard, fed the children, and even used a broom to beat the knots. After that, at least the naughty boys will be guaranteed not to get into trouble for seven or eight days.

They hurriedly made breakfast, took a quick bite and rushed to Tai's backyard.

As soon as Yang Lihua opened the door, she saw twenty or thirty people gathered together, so she smiled and said, "You guys came so early. Have you already had dinner?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten!"

The women responded with smiles and hurried inside, fearing that their good positions would be occupied, and even more afraid that they would miss a few knitting stitches and be left behind by others.

If you are not active at work, there is something wrong with your brain!

In the front yard, the old man also greeted Mr. Tai Tai and the villagers with a smile, "Why are you so early? Are you thinking about the good wine and good food at noon?"

Everyone laughed, and Mr. Tai was the first to respond, "Of course, I'm jealous of Jizong's wife's cooking skills. Remember to let her stew braised meat and tofu, the bibimbap is so delicious!"

Mr. Tai joked smoothly, "Then we really can't let the step-clan's wife stew meat. I only have a few teeth left, but I can't lose any more."

Third Master Tai raised his pipe and pot, making a gesture of poking at his brothers, which made everyone laugh.

A villager went up the steps, raised his hand to push the door of the wing, and shouted, "This mute guy is so wicked. We must ask him where he was offended and why he came back to do such bad things."

As he spoke, the door opened.

When everyone looked around, their expressions changed in shock! (End of chapter)
