Chapter 327 The Truth
And along with this weird and strange feeling, there is also the fear that gradually wells up in my heart.
What puzzled the fat man was that he could not find the source of this fear at all. He looked past the middle-aged woman and the young maid, staring at the vermilion door.
Using force with his right hand unconsciously, the meat bun that he carefully held in his hand was squeezed, and the thick soup flowed into his hand, making it sticky.
Just when he seemed to have thought of something, the voice inside stopped.
A fat man wakes up from a dream.
Unconsciously, cold sweat had soaked his costume. He was breathing heavily, and the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more intense.
At this moment——
“Creak——”
The door shook slightly, first there was an inconspicuous gap, and then it suddenly opened.
After seeing the scene inside the door clearly, the fat man's tense expression froze. After a moment, there was a buzzing in his head.
In the yard, a thin figure was curled up, lying on the open space under the steps. The shabby clothes on his back were already stained red with blood.
Face down, motionless.
"There are rules in the house." The middle-aged woman said in a sullen voice, "Whoever dares to steal things in the house will suffer the consequences if they are caught." She stared at the people in front of her and sneered. :"who No exception."
Jiang Cheng immediately went to pull the fat man away, but the fat man broke away. He staggered over and knelt down next to the little beggar. With trembling hands, he helped the little beggar up. head.
He gently touched the little beggar's face, as if to wipe away the blood on her face, but the blood stains became more and more, and finally his hands were covered with blood.
He was still wiping, as if possessed.
"Wake up." The fat man's lips were trembling, "I brought you Roujiamo, specially reserved for you. It's delicious." He had already spread more than half of the meat. The bun was stuffed into the little beggar's hand, but her fingers had no strength at all, and the meat bun fell to the ground with a "snap".
He immediately picked it up and stuffed it into her arms forcefully, "Don't do this." The fat man said in a pleading tone: "Open your eyes and look at me, please, please. "
"Fat brother." Chen Qiang came over and tried to help him up, but the fat man threw him away. Chen Qiang took several steps back before he could stabilize his body.
"Fat man." Jiang Cheng said.
The moment he heard the doctor's voice, the fat man immediately raised his head, and there was light in his eyes again, "Doctor." The fat man seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said anxiously: "Doctor, you are a doctor, you can save She, you can save her, right? Doctor, please save her!"
When he saw the little beggar, Jiang Cheng knew that she was hopeless and her body had become cold. , obviously not just dead.
She has been dead for some time.
The sound of beating just now was probably just a show played for them.
"Fat man." Facing the fat man's red and swollen eyes, Jiang Cheng's remaining words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.
"She is dead." Xia Meng said simply.
"You lied!" The fat man said excitedly: "She's not dead yet, she's still alive. There is a doctor here, she won't die, she won't"
"She's still alive She's a child, she's still young, she hasn't eaten Roujiamo yet, so I prepared Roujiamo for her." When he said this, the fat man suddenly choked up, and he hugged the little beggar's body tightly, sticky and Blood stained his clothes red.
Big tears rolled down, dripping on the little beggar's face and on the ground. Listening to the fat man howling and crying, Xia Meng also closed her mouth.
"The house never tolerates adultery, let alone eating things inside and outside." On the steps, a big man with a fierce look stood there. He was leaning on a thick wooden stick in his hand, looking at Jiang Cheng and the others, and sneered. : "Whoever dares to act arrogantly in the Huang Mansion will be punished by this bitch."
Follow The middle-aged woman who came in also stepped forward and said helpfully: "Butler Zhou said that he would drag her out to feed the dogs soon, so that everyone will know that she has offended our Huang family."
"I think you dare !" The fat man stood up in a flash, and his eyes immediately turned red when he saw the wooden stick in the man's hand on the steps.
"Stop him!"
Chen Qiang was the closest to him and hugged the fat man's body. Jiang Cheng was the second one. He pressed the fat man's shoulders hard, but at this moment, the two of them Can't hold him down.
The angry fat man was like a human tank, and Chen Qiang was completely dragged away by him.
The man on the steps showed a smile as if his plan had succeeded. Without him having to greet him, 6 or 7 more people ran out from outside the door and on the steps.
There are men and women, but without exception, they all have fierce eyes, and they are all carrying short sticks in their hands, or holding upside down spears with shiny front ends, all of them are Lianjiazi,
Xia Meng immediately understood that this was a way to provoke the generals, and it was a trap set by Butler Zhou for them.
Presumably they also figured out the identity of the little beggar. The reason why they treated her like this was to force people like themselves to take action first.
If it drags on any longer, people like myself will collect all the clues and end this mission.
However, due to the restrictions of the rules, Butler Zhou and his team could not take the initiative to attack, so they came up with such a dirty trick.
Beat the little beggar to death in front of them.
Force them to take action first.
Thinking of this, Xia Meng no longer hesitated. She raised her hand and hit the fat man's neck with a palm, trying to knock him unconscious.
But to her surprise, the fat man's muscles all over his body bulged, as strong as a mad bull in a bullring. She struck him twice in a row, feeling as if he had been struck against a tree.
In the end, Jiang Cheng raised his arm and hit the fat man on the neck with his elbow, and he staggered down. Even so, those blood-red eyes were still staring at the man on the steps.
Until I fainted at the end.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, without saying a word.
Jiang Cheng sat beside his bed, and Chen Qiang sat at the table a little further away.
The silence in the room was eerie.
The sky outside has darkened, and it is probably getting dark soon.
“Where is she?” The fat man’s voice was hoarse.
"We finally took her body away." Jiang Cheng said calmly: "We buried it by the lake in the afternoon when no one was around." He paused, looked at the fat man and said, "Don't worry ”
Hearing this, the fat man’s eyes moved a little bit, but his face and neck did not move. His eyes finally focused on Jiang Cheng’s face. After a moment——
"Doctor." After a pause, he said, "You didn't tell the truth."
Jiang Cheng raised his eyes and said nothing.
"People like you will not take the risk to snatch a body." The fat man said softly: "Because it is meaningless."
"If she is still alive, you will save her , because we can still dig out clues from her." Fatty looked away, "But she is dead, she is worthless, and now she is just a burden that will bring you danger." (End of Chapter)
