The wicked girl

Chapter 21
Ye Kui was weak all over, and her legs were burning with pain, her mind was so chaotic that she didn't notice Mei Shi's strangeness.

She thought that she would die again the moment she was bitten by a dog, maybe she could return to the world that belonged to her, and continue the life that had ended.But in the end she woke up.

"The fever is finally gone, life is at stake." Chi Po said lightly without changing her expression.

Ye Shu had told her about what happened the day she was attacked by a dog, and she already knew that Po Chi had saved her life, so she smiled and thanked Po Po Chi immediately.Po Chi glanced at her, and finally there was something strange in that unblinded eye.Ye Kui was startled, and immediately saw Ding Duofu come in with his head down in a wet coir raincoat: "I couldn't find anyone."

"Who are you looking for?" Ye Kui was still a little dazed, and looked at Mrs. Mei.

Hearing her hoarse voice because she hadn't spoken for many days, Mei did not dare to look her in the face.She was obviously just a child, but she couldn't look into her eyes and say that sentence.

It was only a few hours away from Xiaojiu, and Ye Shu didn't know about it, so when Ye Kui asked, he also asked, "Father, who are you looking for?"

Ding Duofu was stunned when he saw Ye Kui half leaning on the pillow.After a while, he said: "Great, Xiao Yezi has woken up. Great..."

After talking a few words, they seemed to avoid their questions.

Ye Kui drank another glass of water, finally regained consciousness, looked around and finally found something wrong, "Where did 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'm going to stay there for a day. I should be back tomorrow." Mei staggered and lied.

Ye Kui's heart trembled.

At this time, how could Mrs. Mei ask Xiao Jiu to give some shoes!This is obviously meant to lie to her!

Xiao Jiu had mentioned to her about leaving, but how could he leave without saying goodbye at this moment?

"Brother, are you missing?"

When Mei heard this, she only looked at her, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she couldn't answer.Chi Po on the side was expressionless, and suddenly said: "Your brother went to Xining Mountain with someone to help you find medicine, but he disappeared."

Ye Kui shivered with the sound of rain outside the house.

In this way, even she is not sure whether Xiao Jiu left Taohua Village or encountered danger in the mountains.After all, I am still a child, alone in the mountains and forests, and it is raining like this, I am afraid it will be more or less ominous.

Mei didn't dare to look at her, so she retreated to the door, looked at the rain outside, leaned there and muttered to herself: "This rain looks like God came down to block the way..."

After finally waiting for the rain to lighten, it was almost dusk.

Xiao Jiu has not returned yet.

Ding Duofu and the others didn't even eat, so they put on their coir raincoats again and went up the mountain under the fine rain.Everyone couldn't find it, Zhu Gang gritted his teeth and led them into the depths of the mountain forest.On a rainy day, it gets dark quickly.Several people lit torches poured with tung oil, and braved the night to continue walking.

This time, Huangtian paid off, and finally found some traces!
In the flickering firelight, there is a muddy shoe lying quietly in the wet grass...

Ding Duofu was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "It's Xiao Jiu's shoes! It's his shoes! It's made by the child's bride-in-law before, and I will never admit that I am wrong with that craftsmanship!"

However, where are the shoes and where are the people?
Taking a closer look, Ding Duofu gasped, and the stagnant dark red on the shoes was washed away by the rain, and gradually swam away.

--is blood!

There's blood on the shoe!

Everyone turned pale with shock, quickened their pace, and continued to advance into the depths vigilantly.

The night wind was blowing, and the mountains and forests were silent. From time to time, blue eyes flashed not far away, but when you looked closely, they seemed to be red.Everyone knew that they were the eyes of a ferocious beast, so they were a little timid.Just at this moment, a man in the crowd suddenly shouted: "There is someone!"

anyone?

Where did this barren mountain come from?

Several people hastily followed the bright-eyed young man and jumped towards him. Ding Duofu's legs were about to go limp at first glance.The figure bent over the ground, the clothes gradually becoming clear under the firelight...

——"Xiao Jiu!"

Ding Duofu shouted, dropped the torch and bent over to hug him.But there was a piercing chill under his hand, and his body was as stiff as a sinking wood.He was startled, and the hand that was going to hug him was suddenly withdrawn.But just after that touch, the people on the ground showed a broken and ferocious face under the dim light of the fire...

……

The news of the discovery of the body spread down the mountain, and Mei collapsed to the ground in shock, her face full of panic.

Ye Kui was also extremely surprised.

How could he really die?

He obviously only told her a few days ago that he would probably go back, why is he dead now?
But the bodies were all found, so how could it be false?

According to the rules in Taohua Village, the bodies of children under the age of 12 must be buried the next day. Time is running out, and even the coffins cannot be found.It was Zhu Gang who felt guilty and took the birthday materials prepared by his mother.

On the day of burialing, Ye Kui went to see her off regardless of her leg injury.

Looking at the smoke curling up from the mourning hall, she couldn't restrain the doubts that surged up after she was shocked.

Since the body was destroyed by wild beasts, why was the face destroyed the most?

Firstly, Xiao Jiu's face is highly recognizable in this kind of place, and secondly, the dark red tear mole at the corner of his eye is not a common sight.So as soon as she knew that it was her face that was ruined, she made up her mind to take a look for herself.

As soon as she entered the mourning hall, she cried and rushed to the side of the coffin.

The corpse looked horrifying, with a white cloth covering its face.Mei Shi was afraid that she would be frightened by the scene, so she hurried forward to stop her.

But the face has been ruined, whether you look at it or not is the same.

What she wants to see is the back of the corpse.

But the corpse was lying on its back, and she couldn't see it at all.So what she was waiting for was this moment, when Mrs. Mei came to stop her, she cried and struggled.While struggling, she stood on tiptoe and reached for the corpse in the coffin, wanting to turn the corpse over a little and take a look at the pattern on the waist.

but……

Only a little short!

Mei Shi suddenly became ruthless, hugged her away, covered her eyes, and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, mother is with Xiao Yezi, don't cry..."

Immediately, someone stepped forward to close the coffin lid and seal it.

She heard voices and finally gave up.

Xiaojiu has a large tattoo on his back, because he was cautious, the Ding family didn't notice it, and she just saw it accidentally by the river that day.But although she didn't know what was tattooed on it, she was sure that with today's technology, it was absolutely impossible to draw the exact same picture in just a few hours.Therefore, if there is no tattoo on the back of this corpse, it is naturally a fake.

So she doubts, she wants to be sure!
But after all, there is no way.

The coffin was buried in the ground, but her heart full of doubts and guilt could never come down.If the person lying inside is really Xiao Jiu, isn't it all her fault?Originally, he was about to leave, but now he can only lie in the cold ground waiting to rot...

After the funeral, her foot injury worsened, and she had to rest in bed again.
