"You're the one in charge of cleaning the front yard and outside the gate, I think it's called Xiaofu, right?" When Zhang Chen was about to finish cleaning, a woman's voice came from behind him, and it suddenly was the main room of the left bell.

"Yes, ma'am, don't you know what's the matter with you?" Zhang Chen replied respectfully.

"Put these two pieces of paper at the gate, and it's none of your business." As she spoke, the woman handed Zhang Chen two large pieces of notice paper and a bottle of paste, and then turned to leave.

"This is ......" Zhang Chen opened the notice and looked at it, which was written in very neat calligraphy:

"Limited to the recent arrival of many poor scholars passing through our city to go to Beijing to catch the exam, all those who are short of money can stay in my Zuo's house for one to two days, and we can also provide three meals a day for free, hoping to make a little contribution to the national social welfare with this meager effort. The impostor will be sent to the yamen for disposal."

Zhang Chen put away the notice, and combined with the situation that Yang Yuan told himself when he entered the school, he naturally knew what would happen next, but he still walked through the gate normally, and pasted the notice on the gate with the paste.

As soon as this notice came out, the nearby neighbors were in an uproar, saying that the beautiful young grandmother was merciful and made the Zuo family, who had been ignorant of the outside world all day long, so respected now.

In the afternoon of the same day, a scholar who was short in stature but exposed in his talent saw the notice and moved into Zuo's house. From the head of the Zuo family to the husband and the man, they were all very polite to this scholar, but after Zhang Chen saw it, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Sure enough. As soon as the scholar fell asleep this night, he was taken into the granary by a big flower, and it was also Zuo Zhong who personally operated the operation, and took out the innocent scholar who had promised to repay his parents for fame and fortune, and took out the fresh and still beating brain.

And the lower body of the scholar whose brain melon was cut was already incontinent, and his whole body was still twitching, and some viscous yellow liquid flowed out of his nostrils.

"Take it and bring it to my room after processing. The corpse was thrown into the well." After throwing the living brain to the subordinate, Zuo Zhong returned to his room on crutches.

It didn't take long for a servant to enter Zuo Zhong's room with a soup, and the young woman on the side thought that Zuo Zhong was hungry. Who knows. When the soup was brought to the two of them. Zuo Zhong said to the beautiful woman lying on top of him with an evil face

"Drink it!"

"It's ......!" The woman lifted the lid of the soup pot, and the reddish brain inside appeared on it, looking very fresh and delicate.

"Don't you know what it is? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and drink it." Zuo Zhong's attitude became unusually harsh.

"But ......," the woman hesitated. This thing in front of you tastes delicious. It's hard to swallow on your own.

"I remember that two of the old ones in your family died. If you don't want to go and stay with the beggars who crouch on the side of the street and beg for alms every day, drink it quickly, I don't want to say it a second time."

The woman's whole body trembled. The right hand with the jade ring held the soup spoon and gently took a sip of the seemingly fragrant soup, although the taste was really good, but the woman immediately covered her mouth, her stomach turned over, and she almost vomited.

"Useless stuff, drink it quickly, believe it or not I'm going to dig out all the stuff in your head." Zuo Zhong said, pulling the woman's hair with his hand and said viciously.

"I drink, I drink!" With tears in her eyes, the woman spooned the delicate brain into her mouth. I vomited a few times, but in the end, under the pressure of Zuo Zhong, I drank the soup in front of me completely.

"Alright, take off your clothes and get to bed." Zuo Zhong said fiercely, and the woman could only follow suit. But I didn't know that there was an invisible black breath that emerged from under the floor and slowly poured into the beautiful woman's abdomen.

…………

On the second day, early in the morning, Zuo Zhong came to the hall early, and told the old housekeeper to invite the doctor from outside the house. Soon after, an old doctor with reading glasses and neat clothes came to Zuo's house, and immediately took the pulse of Mrs. Zuo, who was lying on the bed with blank eyes.

"Congratulations, the head of the Zuo family has moved the heavens by doing good deeds today, this Mrs. Zuo is over forty years old, and it is incredible that she can still conceive a fetus, the old man still said goodbye first, just inform me if there is anything."

After the doctor left, the head of the Zuo family was very happy, and also walked to the platform of the ancestors and ancestors, saying that he had found a way to let the Zuo family continue to descendants, and regarded himself as a great man of the Zuo family. In the eyes of Zhang Chen, who was cleaning in the courtyard, it was really ridiculous.

However, at noon, another handsome young man with a scholarly atmosphere walked into the door of Zuo's house, saying that although his family affairs were good, he accidentally lost his money bag the day before yesterday, and he had not eaten for a day. How did he know that this step he had taken was just the right step into the ghost gate.

In the eyes of the head of the Zuo family, this is nothing more than double happiness, if the lady is provided with this human brain, maybe he will be able to see his longing son in advance. So after personally entertaining the scholar, let him rest here for a day, and talk about other things tomorrow. The scholar originally just planned to be able to have a full meal here, but he was embarrassed to refuse under the invitation of the other party, so he agreed.

…………

"Woman, it's time for dinner!" Zuo Zhong pointed to the soup on the table and said with a dark smile.

"Don't, I don't!" This beautiful woman has been in this room all day today, and she doesn't think about tea or dinner. After seeing this bowl of soup, such as.[,! As if he had seen death, he rolled down from the bed with a crawl. But Zuo Zhong called two men who were still in good shape, one pressed the woman, and the other broke her mouth with her hand. Zuo Zhong took the soup and poured the delicious human brain soup into the woman's mouth one by one.

In the next few days, because the Zuo family received poor scholars for free, many scholars would come every day, but because there were only two spare rooms inside, only two scholars were accepted at a time. And those scholars who were frustrated because they were late did not know that they had escaped.

Ten days have passed, and the corpses in the wellhead in the backyard are about to pile up out of the wellhead, and Zhang Chen, who lives in the room, can feel the strong resentment at the wellhead even if he puts away all his perceptions, and those resentments are irritable at first, but slowly they seem to be controlled by someone, and they gradually combine together, and the breath even begins to become somewhat the same.

And in Zuo Zhong's room, there was a middle-aged woman with bloodshot eyes and extremely strict dark circles, as if she hadn't closed her eyes for several days. Its abdomen has been bulging to the height that a pregnant woman should be seven or eight months old, and there are many blue blood vessels spreading from the center of the navel to all sides.

Three days later, four scholars were killed alive and their brains removed. And the well in the backyard can be said to have become a corpse well, no matter how much straw is stuffed at the mouth of the well, it can't hide the smell of corpses emitted inside. So a subordinate who volunteered, after receiving five taels of silver, was appointed to burn the body at the mouth of the well at one o'clock in the morning.

This volunteer subordinate is named Ah Zhi, six and a half feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very honest face. The ancestor has always been in this Zuo family, his father is seventy, his legs and feet are inconvenient to care for the elderly at home, and there is no financial source after retiring from the Zuo family, so the filial piety of Ah Zhi can earn more money will take the time to bring it to his father, so that he can retire at home with peace of mind.

This time, the head of the family took out five taels of silver to let people do this kind of thing, although it was a bit hurtful, but these five taels of silver could be worth a year's income of the people of the Zuo family. Ah Zhi also hesitated, thinking that there would be many people rushing to do this kind of errand without their own share at all, ready to try their luck, but I didn't expect that there was no one before him, and Ah Zhi, who was in doubt, received five taels of silver from the housekeeper, and the doubts in his heart were also covered up by money.

When the watchman rang the gong at one o'clock in the morning, Ah Zhi, who was slightly nervous in his heart, took a box of oil from the room and quietly slipped out of his room.

"I don't know how the Zuo family did such a hurtful thing, maybe these scholars can really be nominated on the list of the pride of the sky." This Ah Zhi didn't know about Bai Shengzhan and the weirdness of the young grandmother's death. I just know that the Zuo family has killed all the scholars who stayed in the house under the guise of entertaining poor scholars in recent days, and I don't know the reason.

Ah Zhi is servile, and he has no contact with knowledge, and he can't understand these things. When I came to the well, because the corpses of scholars would be thrown into it every day, the wooden planks that sealed the mouth had already been removed, and it was just a lot of straw.

A disgusting smell of decay soon spread into Zhi's nostrils. Even Ah Zhi, who is in charge of cleaning everyone on weekdays, covers his nose with his sleeve and takes out the straw in the well with one hand.

"Ahh Ah Zhi was startled, just now when his right hand was bringing a poke of straw, his fingertips touched something a little wet and cold, and when he moved his right hand away, he saw that it was a white eyeball without pupils. In countries where feudalism is dominant, the theory of ghosts and gods is basically deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which really scares Ah Zhi.

"It's no wonder, I'm also here to support my family, so I burned you, so you don't have to stay in this well and live a life that doesn't see the light of day." Ah Zhi didn't dare to continue to take out the remaining straw, because seeing the things covered underneath, Ah Zhi was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand it.

Ah Zhi picked up a bucket of oil and poured it all into the well. After bowing with his hands together, he lit a match and threw it in, and for a time the wellhead was full of light, and after the straw covering it was burned out, Ah Zhi saw the whole picture of the corpse under the straw.

"It can't be like this, how is it possible, how is it possible?" Ah Zhi kept retreating, because the top corpse at the mouth of the well was not a poor scholar who lived in the Zuo family, but himself......
