Chapter 746: Trade-offs
"The female ghost took out an inkstone and a brush from the side, and she spit out a puddle of something in the inkstone from her mouth, dipped it in a brush with a brush, and began to draw on the human skin."
"Eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth...... And I also re-ink the light-colored parts of my body......"
"When it's done with all that, it puts the skin on again, first with two feet, then with two arms, and finally up the spine like the girl and stitches the whole skin up."
…… Everyone seemed to be thrown into an ice cave, and it was already summer, but they felt the cold wind.
What Su Xin didn't understand was that Madame Fan had been peeking outside for so long, and she couldn't believe that the painted skin demon hadn't noticed her.
If she knew that Mrs. Fan was peeking outside, but she still did it, it means that she intended to let Mrs. Fan see it.
But why let her see it? What's in it for it? Why don't you just kill Mrs. Fan?
Mrs. Fan's narration is to recreate those horrific scenes in front of her eyes from the depths of her hidden memories and experience another nightmare.
Mrs. Fan finally told her all about what she saw half a year ago. In fact, when she returned to her yard in despair, she talked to Zhang's mother and the two personal maids, saying that Qing'er was a monster and killed a girl in the house.
But it's all because what she said is too unbelievable, and the next day, the girl named Sakura is all right. Even Zhang's mother specially tricked Sakura aside with two other maids, took off her clothes and checked her back, the back was very smooth, where there were traces of needlework and stitching as Mrs. Fan said.
Later, they told Mrs. Fan about these 1510, and they all felt that it was Mrs. Fan's hysteria caused by being snubbed by her master at home over the years and depressed in her heart.
It wasn't until last night that Xiao Cui saw Yu Erya, who had just entered the door, actually took off the skin on her body, and she really realized that I was afraid that all the things in the house were done by ghosts.
This time, when I heard Mrs. Fan talk about it in detail again, I felt that the cold air was pressing.
Mrs. Fan said: "After that night, everything was normal in the house, and Mother Zhang and Xiaohe told me that maybe everything was just my imagination, and I actually hoped that it was my nightmare. Later I ...... I secretly went to see it again, but I didn't see that weird thing happening. Two months later, the news came that Qing'er was pregnant, and I was very happy, after all, as long as she gave birth to a child, I would really have a firm foothold in this family... I will often ask Zhang's mother to send some nutritional products. But the good times didn't last long, three months later, Qing'er's stomach was already a little pregnant, everything was fine, but that day I suddenly heard a noise from the courtyard over there, saying that someone committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. ”
"It's the dry well in the backyard, about a few feet deep, and below it is a hard stone, and it's the ground where the head comes first...... When they got it, she couldn't see her original appearance at all, and the only thing that could be confirmed was that she was Qing'er. ”
"Because of this, I ...... The lord wanted to write a letter of resignation and retired me, and finally ...... Probably because my father knew him at the beginning, and our love for so many years, he didn't write about it after all. But a matchmaker came to the door and said that there was a girl in the Yu family, and her parents wanted to pool money to marry a daughter-in-law for Da Lang, so they were willing to marry their daughter here. After all, several girls have died over the years, and there has been a bad reputation outside, and they are reluctant to send their daughters to them. ”
"But this time, it was the ......old man who had an accident," Mrs. Fan's eyes were red and swollen.
Xiaocui said: "I really saw Yu Erya like that...... So......" she gestured with her hands behind her back and tore her clothes to both sides. In this way, he peeled off the skin on his body, and then wrapped the old man in the skin...... I screamed in fright, Yu Erya, oh no, that monster still turned its head to look at me, its head was bloody, and its teeth were bared, like it was laughing. I was so frightened that I hurriedly ran back to the yard and told my wife. Because, because ......"
Zhang's mother helped Xiaocui Yuanchang: "Because Mrs. said that Qing'er was a monster before, the master lost his temper, and ordered that if anyone dares to mention it again in the future, the family law will deal with it." ”
Xiao Cui nodded again and again, "Well, I was scared and anxious, so I ran back and told Madame...... Madame's face turned pale at once, and she led us over. When we arrived, we saw it, and the old man became like that...... So we arrested Yu Erya. ”
The rest is known.
"By the way, what about Sakura? What happened? ”
Zhang's mother: "Later, because she was older, she sent it out two months ago. ”
In other words, except for Yu Erya, all the people related to the painted skin demon are dead and gone, and there is nowhere to check?
Su Xin took a deep breath, it seemed that things were getting more and more complicated.
When he was about to speak, a small servant ran from the courtyard gate, who was the one who had led the way for Su Xin and Hu Maoxin before, and he said eagerly: "Madam, the third master said that Yu Erya was a monster and wanted to burn her to death, and they were asking Wangcai and them to go to the firewood room to bring the dry firewood over." ”
Mrs. Fan stood up, "Quick, stop them." ”
As soon as the words came out, he looked at Su Xin and the others with hesitation. No one knows her current situation better than her, whether it is really out of pity for Er Ya or she wants to show her kindness and generosity in front of the two Heavenly Masters, it is obvious that now is not the best time.
Su Xin frowned, Yu Erya?
Why is this Fan family brother so eager to kill Yu Erya? Could it be that she really knows something?
But according to the information I had before, what can I know about Yu Erya after only two days of entering the house?
In any case, Yu Erya is not a monster, and if he puts this matter on his own, he can't let them careless of people's lives.
If she openly confronts the brothers of the Fan family, she and Hu Maoxin's position is insufficient. After all, in such a world, the head of the family has the power to kill and take away his slaves, and even the government can't control it.
As for Mrs. Fan, she has now been completely excluded from the head of the Fan family, and it is difficult to protect herself. Su Xin also understood just now that most of the family slaves and maids knew that the current affairs were biased towards the brothers of the Fan family, and when they went, they just quarreled there, which angered those brothers and was not conducive to the investigation in the future.
Su Xin knew that all this might be related to the withered locust tree, and the blood qi on it was related to the three brothers of the Fan family, and according to her experience in handling many ghost cases, it would soon be retribution to these brothers.
So she decided to wait for them to suffer the consequences, and then she would clean up the mess and take the demon away.
In this way, these brothers not only got retribution, but also did the right thing for heaven, killing multiple birds with one stone.
Unexpectedly, they would attack an innocent woman, compared to their own plan to wait for work and get more in one fell swoop, Su Xin did not hesitate to choose to save the little girl first.
