C22 (1/2)
My heart went cold. If something happened to Master Zhao's family, then wouldn't my father be finished as well?
”Old granny!” Just what exactly is going on? How do you know that Master Zhao's family is in trouble? ” I asked anxiously.
The Grand Matriarch carefully surveyed her surroundings and whispered, ”It's Soo Soo! Those people must have been killed by Soo Soo. ”
I did not see Soo Soo when I went to the Zhao family. I asked back, ”Grandmother, can you not lie to a good person? I have never seen Soo Soo. How can you lie to a good person out of thin air? Besides, my Abba is still in the hands of Fifth Master Zhao. I definitely won't leave. ”
Seeing my resolute attitude, the grandma said helplessly, ”Fine, since you're unwilling to give up, I'll let you see for yourself tonight.”
I don't know if what the Grand Matriarch said is true or not, but this is my hometown. Furthermore, my father and Soo Soo's whereabouts are unknown, and a strange old lady is actually controlling my life.
I did not give up and let the Grand Matriarch wait until nightfall. The Grand Matriarch followed me back to Master Zhao's house.
There were a lot of people in the village during the day, and at night, it was not like in the big city. These villagers all woke up early to do farm work, and at night, the entire village rested.
I was standing in front of Master Zhao's door, but before I reached it, I felt something was wrong. Why did the iron door that I touched normally during the day have a layer of water vapor on it?
My heart beats rapidly. It is August and the weather is hot right now. Even though it is night, the temperature should be at least 25 or 26 degrees Celsius. It was clearly the result of a low temperature.
”Ferocious and sinister, incomparably cold. These are all ghosts of the wrongdoers. If you don't believe me, look through the gap in the door.”
The Grand Matron was muttering in my ear, and I felt my scalp grow cold. I leaned close to the crack of the door and looked in.
Some were reading books, some were playing cards, some were playing mobile games, and some were even eating.
I thought it was funny that these people might have come home at night.
”Grand Matriarch, what's there to be surprised about? They're all people.” I looked at the grandma.
However, there was no expression on the old woman's shrivelled face. She paused for a moment, then said slowly, ”Look carefully, do you have any dents on their necks? Do you all use your toes to tap the ground?!”
The dent on his neck, the tip of his foot touching the ground?
I took another look at the Grand Matriarch's face, and it was true!
The people in the yard were all nudging the ground with their toes. Their necks seemed to be stretched to the point that some of them even had their heads tilted, making them look like people with big heads. The depressions on their necks were very obvious, some of them had even had their necks broken, so their heads simply hung on their shoulders!
F * ck!
These people were not living people, they were clearly dead ghosts!
I was startled, and was about to cry out, when the matron gagged my mouth.
I quickly took a few steps back, gasping for breath, not understanding what was happening.
The Grand Matriarch pulled me away from Master Zhao's house and the two of us walked straight out of the village.
After panting for a long time, the old granny said, ”See, these people still do not know that they are dead. They have all become ghosts, and they were all strangled alive. My guess is right. They were all killed by Soo Soo.”
Soo Soo again? Why did the Grand Matriarch feel so sorry for Soo Soo? However, if Soo Soo took away the white silk, the white silk would become a weapon.
”Old granny!” Don't forget to do everything you can to get evidence. Soo Soo and Master Zhao's family have no enmity with each other, so why would she want to kill those innocent people? ” I asked, puzzled.
”Don't forget, Zhao Quan'er was number seven yesterday, while Soo Soo was also number seven today. She died a long time ago, and now that she has taken away the white silk that hooked her soul, she will become an evil spirit. The evil ghost will take her life, and all those who bear grudges will be killed. No one is an exception, we should hurry up and leave before it's too late.”
I panicked. The grandma is an old lady who knows how to catch ghosts. It seems like she can't handle Soo Soo's abilities. Otherwise, she wouldn't have run away in panic. But what about dad?
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.
