I don't know when, the crying outside is gone, but there is the sound of a man talking, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, and finally fell asleep gradually because he was too sleepy.

When he woke up the next morning and was about to carry his burden home, he heard people talking around him as soon as he left the room.

"Hey, I died so miserably, I don't know who did it."

"Don't you know? I heard that someone has been killed at night recently, and his stomach has been cut out and his internal organs have been pulled out, just like this death, but the guards in the city have not caught the murderer, but I heard that every time someone dies, someone hears a woman crying. ”

"Huh? Really? I heard the woman's cry last night, but I was so sleepy that I didn't pay attention to it. ”

"I didn't hear it, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down, but I didn't know that someone knocked on the door, and my mother-in-law kept scolding me, saying that I was like a dead pig when I fell asleep." The other man scratched his head and said quietly.

"The city guards are already investigating, but the man is too frightened to die, and I heard that when an old man found the body at the end of the alley this morning, the whole person fainted with fright."

Listening to the words around him, the middle-aged hawker wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and his heart was pounding, only to feel afraid for a while.

"Hey, the gourd seller, what's wrong with you? Not feeling well? A man next to him saw the middle-aged vendor's pale and frightened face, so he patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"I, I also heard the woman's cry last night, as if crying in front of the door of my room, I almost went to open the door." He said tremblingly.

"Then you are really fateful, do you know, which room the dead man lived?" The man looked at him in a low voice and asked.

"Where, which room?" The middle-aged vendor asked stunned.

"It's the one next door to you." The man said in a low voice.

When the middle-aged hawker heard this, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing, hurry up." When the man saw this, he hurriedly went to pull him to his feet and helped him to sit aside.

"Scared silly? You didn't encounter that incident, don't worry! It's okay. The man patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

At this moment, an old man came in with a few city guards, came to the middle-aged vendor, and said, "A few masters, it's him, he lives next door to the deceased, and the room between the two of them is the furthest, maybe he will know some." ”

Several city guards stepped forward, looked at the middle-aged vendor, and asked, "Did you hear anything last night?" ”

"I heard a woman's cry last night, and then a man spoke, and then I didn't know it." He said in a trembling voice, still unable to recover from his fear.

"You didn't want to see a woman's cry in the middle of the night? Later, I heard the voice of the man talking, did you hear clearly what they said? One of the guards asked.

"I didn't hear clearly, I just knew that the cry was gone, and I fell asleep." He shook his head, his face pale.

"The woman's cry is right outside your door, why don't you want to see it? Or are you in the same league as the woman? One of the guards said, staring at him and shouting.

The middle-aged hawker was startled, and hurriedly stood up and waved his hand: "No, no, I am a gourd seller, and the vendors in the city and the city know me." ”
