The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Shao Qingge hid near the yard, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the movement inside.

Han Ningshuang was dragged to a corner, and a young man waved a sharp knife in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, should I cut off your left hand or your right hand first? Or should I cut off your ear first?" "

Han Ningshuang was so frightened that her face was full of tears, she knelt on the ground with a thud, and shook her head desperately: "Don't kill me! Please don't kill me, I swear, I won't tell outsiders!"

A woman next to her said coldly: "Since she saw us, why not goug her eyes first?" The woman gently lifted Han Ningshuang's chin, and said with a smile, "These eyes are really beautiful."

After she finished speaking, she was about to go dig Han Ningshuang's eyes.

At this moment, a little boy suddenly rushed over and bit the woman's hand forcefully: "Let her go!"

A row of bloody tooth marks were bitten on the woman's hand, and she couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment. She kicked the boy to the side, tore the boy's collar, slapped him several times, and said angrily: "You brat belongs to A dog? How dare you bite me!"

The young man said just now: "Fourth sister, if you don't teach this child a lesson, it seems that they won't be obedient."

The woman took the knife from his hand and cut off the little boy's finger neatly.

"Ah-"

The screams of children came from the yard.

Looking at the blood on the ground, Han Ningshuang seemed to be frightened, she cried, "Qi Ran, your hand!"

The woman named "Fourth Sister" clapped her hands and said coldly: "Take these children down, chop off their hands first, then their feet, and let them have a taste of the fate of offending us."

At this moment, the old woman suddenly rushed over, hugged Han Ningshuang tightly, and said, "Don't kill them, they have a strange disease, and you will get sick if you eat it."

The woman was startled, and looked back at her: "Strange disease?"

The mother-in-law said: "These children have a lot of red spots on their bodies, and they probably have smallpox."

When several people heard the word "smallpox", their faces changed suddenly. The person who was holding the child immediately let them go, hiding away like the plague.The mother-in-law walked over and lifted Han Ningshuang's clothes, and found that there were many large and small spots on the girl's back.

The mother-in-law choked with sobs and said, "These children have no father or mother since they were young, and now they have smallpox, so they must not be able to survive, so why don't they just find a place to bury them, don't eat their meat, they will get sick... ..."

The fourth sister and the young man looked at each other, and said with disgust on their faces: "Go, find a place, and bury these three sick bastards alive. As for this old lady... maybe there is some use in keeping it."

The young man seemed to be worried about being infected, so he simply wrapped the three children in sacks.

The old woman was dragged down.

Han Ningshuang struggled in the sack and shouted, "Let me go! You bastards will definitely suffer retribution!"

Her words angered the young man. The young man punched and kicked the sack for a while, and he didn't know if the little girl was kicked unconscious. The sack gradually became quiet, and finally remained motionless.The young man greeted a few people, carried three sacks to the wasteland in the center of the town, dug a big hole, and buried the three people alive.

……

Shao Qingge witnessed the tragic situation 20 years ago, so he didn't know how to evaluate it.

These beasts have indeed lost their humanity. No wonder the murderer is so vicious and directly wipes out all their descendants.

Ye Qi also felt Shao Qingge's anger, and said dejectedly: "It's a pity that we can't stop this. Once we intervene, the mother-in-law is saved, the murderer doesn't retaliate, and the world of murders in 20 years may not exist. Professor, they may never get out of this secret room..."

The Butterfly Effect is too scary. Once they intervene in historical events, it will indeed affect other teammates. Ye Qi and Shao Qingge dare not act willfully.However, watching the tragedy happen, but unable to stop it, both of them felt a little heavy.

Shao Qingge changed the subject and asked: "The little girl who ran away, and Ren Yuan, what plans do they have?"

Ye Qi said: "The little girl's name is Zhou Xiaoyun. She has calmed down and plans to go to the yard to save people after dark tonight. Their plan is to set fire to the yard and take advantage of the chaos to kill the mother-in-law and the other three children." Get it out."

Shao Qingge was silent for a moment, then analyzed in a low voice: "Four children, Qin Feng, Qi Ran, Han Ningshuang, and Zhou Xiaoyun. Among them, Qi Ran just had a finger chopped off by those people in order to protect Han Ningshuang; the mother-in-law said they got it Smallpox, it’s probably a lie. I think the erythema on Han Ningshuang’s body is more like the marks left after chickenpox. The three children have been buried alive in sacks. Since Qin Feng is still alive 20 years later, it must be Someone saved them."

Ye Qi said: "Could it be that Ren Yuan and the escaped Zhou Xiaoyun found them buried alive and rescued them?"

Shao Qingge shook his head: "People are buried alive in the ground. Without oxygen, they will suffocate to death in just a few minutes. Since Ren Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyun have agreed to set fire to save people at night, and they don't know that the three children were buried alive, it is impossible Saved three kids so quickly. I'm more inclined that someone else saved these kids."

Ye Qi praised: "It makes sense, Mr. Shao, your reasoning ability has improved a lot!"

Shao Qingge said with a smile: "Having been with Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang for so long, if you learn a lot, you can learn something."

Ye Qi asked: "Are you following them?"

Shao Qingge was hiding on the roof of a nearby family at this time, his eyes were facing the position where the three children were buried alive, he said: "Well, I have been watching here. I can't take the initiative to save people, there should be someone This person is also very important to save them."

Almost as soon as Shao Qingge finished speaking, he saw a sneaky young woman appearing nearby. She took a shovel and dug up the mound of soil that had just been buried, then jumped down from the big pit and lifted three sacks with great effort. dragged up.

When the sack was untied, the faces of the three children were already turning blue from holding their breath.

Han Ningshuang opened her eyes in a daze, looked at the woman in front of her and said, "Qing... Aunt Qing?"

The woman made a "shh" movement on her lips, shaking the other two children awake, and then refilled the surrounding soil into the big pit, pretending that the big pit was filled, and hurriedly took the three children The child walked towards Ren Yuan's residence.

Shao Qingge informed Ye Qi in his mind: "The rescuer is coming, and he is walking to Ren Yuan's residence, you should be careful to hide."

Ye Qi hid in the corner of the yard and eavesdropped. Within a moment, he saw the woman bringing three children to Ren Yuan. He immediately stepped back into the shadows and said in his mind, "I saw it. Who is this woman?"

Shao Qingge said: "Han Ningshuang called her Aunt Qing. I guess like Ren Yuan, she was also brought up by Grandma Sun. These children seem to be very familiar with her."

Soon, the voice of several people talking came from the bug.

Ren Yuan said excitedly: "Ah Qing, why are you back? When did you come back?"

Aunt Qing said: "I was originally in Yuezhou. I heard that there was a famine here, so I wanted to come back to see you. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came back, I saw a few people put Ningshuang and the others into sacks and buried them alive. Fortunately, I arrived in time , saved them."

After Han Ningshuang recovered her breathing, her face gradually turned rosy.She choked with sobs and held Qi Ran's hand, saying: "Qi Ran, what's wrong with your hand, I'll bandage it for you..."

Qi Ran said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just a finger."

Qin Feng looked at them, hesitant to speak.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "Grandma was taken down, will they give her to..."

Han Ningshuang said angrily: "Those beasts will definitely chop up my mother-in-law! Haven't you seen them cooking human flesh? They've gone crazy!"

Zhou Xiaoyun said timidly, "Sister Shuang, what should we do? Should we save mother-in-law?"

Ren Yuan said: "They are numerous and powerful, and they are highly skilled in martial arts. We are not their opponents. Why don't we act at night?"

Qi Ran said coldly: "If we go at night, my mother-in-law might have been dismembered long ago."

Qin Feng also said: "Aran is right, if you want to save someone, do it as soon as possible."

There was a moment of silence in the cave, and finally, Aunt Qing made a decision: "Well, you four children stay here, and Brother Ren and I will find a way to save people." Ren Yuan agreed: "Okay, let's set a fire and see Let's see if we can take advantage of the chaos and rescue people."

After the two discussed it, they soon came to the yard.

However, when they arrived, they found that the mother-in-law's hands and feet had been cut off, and she had already died of excessive blood loss.

The old woman's body, like garbage, was thrown on the side of the road.

Ren Yuan was so angry that he was about to burst into tears, wiped away his tears, and brought his mother-in-law's body back to the burrow.

When the four children saw their mother-in-law's miserable state, they threw themselves on her body like crazy, crying bitterly: "Mother-in-law!"

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi couldn't help feeling sour when they heard the tragic cries from the bug.For these orphans, the mother-in-law is their only relative. Now, in order to protect them, the mother-in-law was chopped off by gangsters and died so painfully...

It literally pokes a blood hole in their hearts that can never be filled.

Zhou Xiaoyun fainted from crying, Han Ningshuang cried halfway, and suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "We must avenge our mother-in-law!"

Qi Ran said with a cold face: "Let them pay with blood!"

Aunt Qing choked with sobs and patted the children's heads, and said, "Silly boy, we are in danger now, so let's go on living first. Qingfeng Town is no longer safe, why don't you go back to Yuezhou with me?"

Ren Yuandao: "But, with so many of us, wouldn't it be more dangerous if we acted together? In this world, no place is safe. I met two foreigners today and were robbed on the way."

Aunt Qing asked, "What do you say?"

Ren Yuan glanced at the food in the cave, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Well, Qi Ran has injuries on his body, it is inconvenient to travel long distances, and Xiao Yun is not in good health, so Qi Ran and Xiao Yun will stay with me. I will take care of them. The food I have saved should be enough for the three of us to survive. Ningshuang and Qin Feng, you take them to Yuezhou, where there are fewer people and it is easier to move."

Aunt Qing simply nodded: "Then it's settled. If everyone can survive, we'll see you in Yuezhou City."

That night, Aunt Qing took Han Ningshuang and Qin Feng away from Qingfeng Town. She did not know where to get a horse, and the three of them rode on a horse overnight, and soon escaped from Qingfeng Town.

The injured Qi Ran and Zhou Xiaoyun stayed in the cave with Ren Yuan.

Ren Yuan bandaged Qi Ran's fingers, cooked sweet potatoes for the two, and told them not to go out in the future.

Ye Qi said in his mind: "Except for Qin Feng, the other three of the four children may be the murderer. Who do you prefer?"

Shao Qingge said: "I think it might be Qi Ran. With such an obvious feature of severed fingers, we have never met anyone with severed fingers in the world 20 years later. He hides it very deeply. Of course, Han Ningshuang and Zhou Xiaoyun The two girls may also commit crimes, especially Han Ningshuang, her eyes are full of hatred, and when she followed Aunt Qing just now, she kept saying that she would come back for revenge in the future."

Which one of the three is the correct answer?
