Chapter 291: A Tragedy Strikes
Chapter 291: A Tragedy Strikes.
The surface of the lake is sparkling, and a hint of wind blows, bringing coolness to this hot summer.
Several boats sailed from Xiaojin Mountain to the shore, and although the women on the boats were weak, their faces were full of happiness.
Isn't it happiness to be rescued?
Among these women, Hua Lang and they found Tong Qi'er and Dong Qing, so that Hua Lang could be regarded as having completed his work, and the two hundred taels of commissions outside Tong were in hand.
It's just that although he got the money, Hua Lang couldn't be happy, because he didn't expect that in this world, there would be such a crazy person, and he would treat women as his own forbidden body for his own selfish desires, which is simply unforgivable.
This incident had a great psychological shock to him.
After returning to Yangzhou City, they could not leave.
In addition to the begonias that have not been dealt with, there is also the martial arts competition in Jiangnan, such a wonderful thing, Wen Meng is absolutely impossible to miss, and Hua Lang has no choice but to play with him.
Before playing, it is natural to send the begonias home first.
When Begonia's health was almost good, Zhanzhao hired a carriage and went out of Yangzhou City accompanied by Hualang and others.
Originally, Wen Meng didn't want to do this, because Haitang didn't know what to cry when she saw her parents, and this kind of scene, she was the most unbearable, it was sad to watch it once.
Originally, she was going to take Hualang and them to Yangzhou to play around, but Hualang insisted on accompanying Zhanzhao to go with him, and said that Begonia was so pitiful that she must need help, so they followed to see if they could help her.
For this reason, Wen Meng was barely acceptable.
Everyone left Yangzhou City and went to Haitang's home, which is a small village, there is a gurgling water nearby, it is a very beautiful place, but there are few people in this village, after they encounter the flowing water, they must stop the carriage and wade through the water.
However, everyone enjoyed the process very much, like enjoying a picture of a beautiful summer day.
And in addition to the beautiful scenery, there are cicadas chirping and frogs chirping, what a peaceful picture.
It's just that when they come to the beach house, this beauty is all gone.
The beach home was a small courtyard, fenced by a fence, in which vegetables were grown, and there were a few old hens, but the vegetables were now hanging on their leaves, as if no one had watered them for a long time, and a few hens were walking around the yard unscrupulously.
It was a very ordinary peasant scene, but at the stone steps in front of the door, they saw a patch of red, and a withered arm.
After seeing this, Begonia rushed up desperately, and after rushing into the house, she suddenly fell to the ground, she was originally very elegant and beautiful, and at this time shed two lines of tears.
When everyone rushed to the house, they all understood that there were two corpses in the house, a man and a woman, both in their fifties, their corpses were already stinking, and there were maggots, so disgusting that people did not dare to breathe in the house.
There was no doubt that the two old men had been dead for a few days, and because it was summer, the bodies were decomposing quickly.
Begonia wept silently, and knelt on the ground to touch the face she had touched, but there was still a face, which was full of maggots, and the rotten flesh was regarded as a delicacy.
This kind of scene, if ordinary people were scared to run away or rush out of the house to vomit, but Begonia was just crying because of grief, Hualang gave Zhanzhao a look, Zhanzhao understood, set up Begonia and left the room, the air outside the house was very fresh, and the desire to vomit was suppressed, but when I thought of the two corpses, it still made people have a retching conflict.
All day today, they don't want to eat any more.
Of course, except for Hua Lang, because at this time, Hua Lang was rinsing the body with clean water, and after rinsing it clean, he kept looking through and inspecting it, of course, he didn't check it as carefully as he usually checked the corpses, because the cause of death of these two corpses couldn't be clearer, and they were solved with a knife.
And the murderer is naturally Jiang Hai.
In such a small village, who would kill two simple people, only Jiang Hai, if he wants to keep doing his deeds, he can't let people report the crime, so the only way to kill these women's parents, of course, not all of them.
Zhilu said that the person whose daughter went to Slender West Lake must die, because it was his lair, and he had to kill people just in case.
The tragedy came so suddenly, people were caught off guard, Begonia cried silently, and even spoke incoherently, Hualang sighed, and let people dig two graves in the place where the stream was babbling, and buried the bodies of Begonia's parents.
After that, Hua Lang called Zhan Zhao and said, "Brother Zhan, now that Miss Begonia is lonely, I'm afraid it's not good to let her continue to stay here, do you want her to follow you?" ”
"Follow me?" Zhan Zhao was a little surprised.
Hua Lang nodded and asked rhetorically, "What, Brother Zhan is unwilling?" ”
Zhan Zhao shook his head again and again: "Yes, how can you be unwilling!" ”
Giving a sad person someone to rely on is the greatest and best comfort for her.
Before leaving, Hua Lang and Wen Meng entered the house and took away some souvenirs of Begonia, in fact, there were not many things, many of the clothes here were Begonia's, but with Zhanzhao, naturally they couldn't wear these village girl-like clothes anymore, so they didn't take it, except for these, and then there were some rouge and jewelry.
After flipping through it, there are only these things.
Wen Meng sighed secretly, thinking that this begonia's life must be very monotonous, only these things, how does she survive in normal times, should you take her to buy some fun things in the future?
Actually, it's good if there are fewer things, so you don't have to toss back and forth.
At sunset, Hua Lang and the others returned to Yangzhou City, which was very lively at this time, and was more full of vitality than a few days ago.
Come to think of it, any place, without women, will be less interesting and lively.
It's just that they soon discovered the difference, this kind of excitement is not all because of women, they also found a lot of Jianghu people on the streets of Yangzhou City.
Wearing various weapons, these people wandered around the streets of Yangzhou City, and some took a folding fan and walked leisurely.
Seeing these people, they suddenly realized that the martial arts tournament in Jiangnan was finally coming.
This kind of event, Hua Lang has only seen it in martial arts novels, but this time it can finally be seen in Jiangnan, and it makes people feel excited to think about it.
And thinking of this, they can't help but slow down, they want to experience this excitement for themselves.
