love you hell

In the restaurant, Xia Lin and Xia Qing meet Ma Tianbao's elder brother Ma Tianfang and sister-in-law Feng Shi.The two of them seemed not in good spirits, but they still managed to talk to Xia Lin Xiaqing with a smile.

After a meal, it was very fast and quiet. After a while, several people said that they had finished eating, and asked the servants to remove their things and replace them with warm tea.

After everyone sat down, Xia Lin glanced at the gloomy Ma Tianfang, and cut straight to the point: "I want to know exactly what Xia Lin investigated these two days, and where he went and what he came into contact with on the day he fell into a coma."

To Xia Lin's words, Feng Shi was the one who reacted the most. She visibly trembled and immediately lowered her head, but it was still visible that she was suppressed and uncomfortable.

That's right, it's discomfort, not fear.

Ma Tianfang patted Feng's hand reassuringly, and looked up at Xia Lin: "Let me briefly explain the matter."

In the beginning, life in this closed and poor rural cluster was extremely simple and peaceful, and similar things were repeated day after day, year after year, and then passed down from generation to generation.

Because of the existence of the Ma family, almost all the surrounding villages work for the Ma family. Whether it is farming or collecting mountain products in the mountains, a lot of medicinal materials are planted in a Yinshan depression not far away.

The Ma family immigrated here in the Qing Dynasty with a large amount of property.Because it was too remote here, the flames of war during that period did not burn them at all.It wasn't until the outside became peaceful that the branch of the Ma family who stayed outside the mountain managed to deliver the news to the mountain.

But before the Ma family agreed to leave the mountains and move out to a big city for a new life, they were stopped in the mountains by the booming wenge movement.Isn't their Ma family a "relic" landlord class from the feudal period?

After that, the Ma family did not go out in the end.

It's a bit similar to the Xia family, because of the Ma family's rules, the head of the Ma family will live forever in the deep mountains and old forests.Of course, they would also send some of their children outside the mountains to do business or exchange information.

At least, some of the crops and medicinal materials produced here are sold outside but at a high price.

"The matter started in the cassava village next door." After Ma Tianfang briefly introduced the relationship between the Ma family and the villagers, he talked about the reason why he came forward to invite people from the Xia family.

They didn't want to abandon this deep mountain and old forest, so when people died in the cassava village, the Ma family quickly responded accordingly.

The first one to die was a woman. It is said that she went out to wash vegetables in the evening, but she never came back.Her husband, Feng Da, went to look for her with his fellow villagers and neighbors, but they didn't find her until midnight. He died by the stream where he had obviously searched for her once, with his eyes wide open and a frightened expression on his face.

She didn't have any external injuries on her body. Although the stream was not deep, she still died of drowning, and a mourning hall was hastily set up at home.

"Afterwards, four more people died one after another. Three were from the cassava village, and one was from another village. If you say you don't know each other, in fact, the people in these villages are more or less related to each other. But I'm not very familiar with it." Ma Tianfang thought for a while, "When Mr. Xia came, there were three people who died at that time. After he understood the situation, he focused on Feng Da."

"Oh?" Xia Lin looked at Ma Tianfang. If Xia Lin was the first to investigate because Mrs. Feng's wife had an accident, it wouldn't be so important.

"That's right." Ma Tianfang glanced at his wife before saying, "Before the accident, Feng Da's nephew, Feng Ming, committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Xia Qing was always listening to the questions and answers between her cousin and the Ma family, while looking at the expressions of these people.

Ghosts harm people, in the final analysis, it may not be the ghosts that people first harmed.Up to now, it is difficult to find old ghosts who have stayed in the world for a long time even in inaccessible places.

Just now, when Ma Tianfang was talking about Feng Ming who committed suicide, she clearly saw Feng Shi slightly move his body unnaturally.

Xia Qing's voice was clearer than Xia Lin's, and her tone was like a smile but not a smile, which inexplicably made Ma Tianfang and the others feel uneasy.

In particular, they also have a guilty conscience.

Xia Lin glanced at Xia Qing, and naturally understood what she meant: "This is a matter of human life. Xia Lin's current situation can also tell that the troublemaker may also be in your home. This is a business that cannot be rumored. You can say it with confidence."

Ma Tianfang knew that this matter could not be kept secret anymore, he sighed: "Actually, Ms. Xia should have heard about the early way of ghost marriage."

Xia Lin paused: "Could it be that Ma's family had a ghost marriage recently? Is it related to Feng Ming who committed suicide?"

"Yes." Ma Tianfang showed a little of his back this time, "My wife and I have been married for ten years, and we only have one daughter, but Xiaoyuan has been in poor health since she was a child."

Feng couldn't bear it anymore, and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

"Although I tried my best, Xiaoyuan passed away half a month ago, and she was only eight years old." Ma Tianfang's voice was also a little choked up, "You have also seen the old house of Ma's house, after all, it is a wooden house that has been built for many years The house is a bit gloomy even in the daytime, and Xiaoyuan has always been afraid of being alone. So we thought we couldn’t let her be alone down here, so we thought about marrying her with a ghost marriage and recruiting a son-in-law Entering Ma's house, I can take care of her down here."

Ma Tianfang paused again, his eyes were a little red.

"Let me talk about it next." Ma Tianbao took up the conversation, "Since the decision has been made, I will help the eldest brother to handle the matter of the ghost marriage. Since it is to recruit a son-in-law, we have also prepared a large gift money. Several surrounding villages have released the word, and the age is relatively relaxed, from eight to 16 years old. Of course we don’t want to harm the living, so we hope to find a suitable boy who has passed away recently, thinking that if the village finds No, even if it is an adventure, you have to go outside the town to find your way."

"Maybe it's luck. I heard that Feng Da's nephew committed suicide that day, and their family is willing to let him marry." Ma Tianbao paused when he said this, "Then Feng Ming is a posthumous child, and it is difficult for his mother to bear him. He died right away, and was raised by his grandmother until he was five or six years old. After his grandmother passed away, he lived with his uncle Feng Da. I heard that his personality was boring and withdrawn, and his life at home was not very good. Although it was suicide, we are urgently If you are planning a ghost marriage, you will not pursue these matters too much."

After all, Feng Ming, an orphan who had no father and no mother, went to the Ma family after his death, and no one would say anything for Feng Ming except his uncle and aunt.

The Ma family accepted Feng Ming and handed over the gift money, so there was no need to worry about any subsequent troubles.

"Then, is it possible that Feng Ming was killed by his aunt?" Xia Qing asked very sharp questions.

Ma Tianbao was taken aback, and said hesitantly: "Should...not be? Then when Feng Ming committed suicide, we hadn't announced to the public that we would do a ghost marriage for Xiaoyuan. After all, we have to discuss this kind of thing." The details took two days."

Have a time problem?Xia Qing frowned, and said nothing more.

Xia Lin nodded to express her understanding: "So, Xiao Lin, did he find anything?"

Since it is possible on Feng Ming's side, then Xia Lin should have discovered something based on Xia Lin's ability when he has a target.

However, Ma Tianfang shook his head, his eyes were blank: "When the fourth person died, I heard that there was a message. He died at the door of his house. He heard from his wife that he heard his husband get up in the middle of the night. , I asked casually, saying that I saw a little girl in a red dress crying outside, so go and have a look.”

A gust of wind blew by, in the middle of the night, the crying little girl in red...

The pulled flame kept beating, hitting the shadows of several people on the wooden wall.

"The wife didn't know if she was really sleepy. She only asked this question. She vaguely remembered such a conversation and fell asleep again. When she woke up the next day, she found that the man died at the door, with the same expression on her face. panic."

"So, it might be the little girl in the red dress who caused the trouble." Xia Lin said the result that anyone could think of, and looked at Ma Tianfang, "However, during this period of time, there was no one in the village. No little girl died, except your daughter Ma Xiaoyuan."

"No, it won't be Xiaoyuan's!" Feng raised her head abruptly, and looked at Xia Lin with wide eyes, "Because of illness, Xiaoyuan has been innocent and kind since she was a child, and she didn't even want to step on ants. Hold my hand and ask if she can turn into a star in the sky and look at us after she dies, how could she kill someone after death?!"

In the end, it was Ma Tianfang who calmed down Feng Shi temporarily.

But Xia Lin and Xia Qing didn't consider Feng's mood in this situation: "We are just looking for possibilities according to the existing clues. No matter what is causing the trouble, it has already killed five people, enough to become a Fierce ghost and vicious spirit. I don’t know what Xiao Lin did to meet it, but now Xiao Lin is barely blocking it with the rest of his life. If the identity of the evil spirit and the source of the hostility are not found out as soon as possible, after Xiao Lin’s death, This place will become a sanctuary for it to kill."

Xia Lin's words are very serious, but they are also true.Most importantly, Xia Lin didn't want her right-hand assistant to die in this kind of place.

Xia Lin's deterrence still worked.

Ma Tianbao made a look at his elder brother, and said the rest: "Actually, Mr. Xia told us the same thing. He said he wanted to see the place where Xiaoyuan was buried. We still have a burial here, Xiaoyuan. Yuan was buried in Ma's ancestral grave. However, it was impossible for us to let him open the coffin for inspection without definite proof. In the end, we just gave in and asked Mr. Xia to visit Xiaoyuan's grave. At that time, Didn't see any problems."

Speaking of this, Ma Tianbao glanced at Xia Lin clearly: "Not long after that, the fifth person also died, but he was from another village. Mr. Xia decided to go to that village to have a look. Before dark Back. The day... is the day he becomes what he is now."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of heavy objects being smashed on the ground suddenly came from upstairs, and sawdust fell from the smashed wooden boards.

The sound seemed to hit the hearts of several people, and Ma Tianbao jumped up in shock.

Xia Lin and Xia Qing also stood up at the same time, but their expressions were much calmer. They looked at each other and looked at the east ceiling together.

The direction from which the sound came was the east side, which was the direction of Xia Lin's room.

In the silence, several people listened carefully to the next movement.
