Chapter 22?
"Huanyan." He rushed towards Xi Huanyan with an anxious look, "Are you back? Master's wife, Master's wife... My family will be yours in the future. With me and grandpa here, I will never let you suffer any grievances!"
The villagers next to him were moaning, "Yes, the clan raises you, and go to the clan hall for dinner in the future. This time, the clan is generous. The immediate relatives of the victims have all been covered by the clan for food, clothing, housing and transportation within five years, and they will also give one more when distributing supplies."
Xi Huanyan turned a deaf ear to her ears, her eyes passed by the three of them, noticed that the two behind Xi Qiongdong were dodging their eyes, and asked, "Are you Xi Qiongwan, Xi Qiongzhong?"
"Huanyan!" Xi Qiongdong interrupted, "You should call them brothers and sisters."
He turned to the two and said, "My master's daughter is a little arrogant. When you get familiar with her, she is still very polite."
Xi Qiongwan and Xi Qiongzhong waved their hands immediately, "It's okay, it's okay, how can we argue with a child."
Xi Huanyan left expressionlessly and locked herself in the new house.
In the new house, Xi Huanyan packed Gu Jianxia's things as if she had nothing to do, carefully folded the clothes one by one, put them in a wooden box, and sealed the books she usually read, pen, and small objects she played with.
When she touched the gun on the desk, Xi Huanyan filled the tobacco with a ghost and lit it. A mouthful of smoke fell into her chest, choking her tears, and she seemed to feel a sense of relief in her suffocation.
The second aunt Shen Yangqing, who was looking for, snatched the gun, "What are you doing? This is something you can touch at your age?"
Xi Huanyan grabbed Shen Yangqing's wrist and said, "Second Aunt, my mother's death is not that simple."
Shen Yangqing felt very distressed to Xi Huanyan. She did not choose to join the family tree of Xijia Village. Now that Xi Cang is dead, the same bed is over, and the relationship between relatives is naturally optional. She can leave at any time. However, she watched the child grow up and thought about staying for a while to see the village’s arrangements for the child.
"Why do you say that?" Shen Yangqing asked patiently, considering the comforting words.
Xi Huanyan said two extremely sonorous words, "Intuition!"
Shen Yangqing couldn't help but feel pity, worried that she would be hit too hard and would not admit her mother's death.
"My mother has a pendant that cannot be burnt, but I didn't find it at the bottom of the wind cliff." Xi Huanyan stared at her, "Second Aunt, you must have seen your mother's tomb. Is it in the relics at that time?"
Shen Yangqing thought about it for a moment and shook her head.
"Then there are only three possibilities left. One, my mother did not die at the bottom of the wind, and the body was buried elsewhere. The second one, someone took the pendant away by holding the sheep. The third one, the body was indeed burned at the bottom of the cliff, but the pendant disappeared due to various natural reasons. If it is the third one, I will admit it, but the premise is that I have to rule out the first two possibilities."
“…What do you want to do?”
Xi Huanyan said resolutely, "Dig the basement first."
When it was dark, Shen Yangqing found two close villagers and came to the Hunter House in the Sequoia Forest with Xi Huanyan.
The two villagers were skeptical, "That's it? Why are there bodies buried inside?"
"There are evil stones on the beam, and the ground in the basement has also been repaved." Xi Huanyan stayed in the hut and did not go down. What she did not say was that if there were really corpses underground, the suspect label would be directly attached to Xi Qiongdong.
This person is her father's apprentice, not a disciple. She is sure that her father has not taught him Mo Hengfa, but he has been with her father for a long time and some tricks should have touched the surface, so he made the move to suppress evil stones. He also has poor methods because he seems to understand but is not aware of it.
The three of them felt that the reason was a bit far-fetched, but they still got off the basement.
A villager said, "I'm actually here to accompany you here. If there is any evil stone in the town, it means that the body is hidden underneath?"
Chen Yangqing: "Just treat it to make the child feel at ease."
OK, who made this child’s parents make great contributions to the village?
They buried their heads in digging the soil, and not long after, they dug out a piece of rotten thing.
I took the oil lamp and looked closer. It was rotten meat!
"Damn it!"
"vomit!"
The three of them rushed out of the basement and vomited very much, and the scene was extremely dirty.
Xi Huanyan calmed down strangely. She hugged her knees and leaned against the wooden bed, looking at them quietly.
"That piece of belly that seemed to be rotten."
"Please stop talking."
Chen Yang continued with a dark face, "At least it means there is really a corpse below."
She tore a strip of cloth from her body, covered her mouth and nose, and returned to the basement.
The other two had no choice but to follow. Since they had dug up the corpse, they had to confirm the identity of the corpse.
However, they did not expect that this dig, a total of twenty-one corpses were dug out!
Chen Yangqing climbed out of the basement again, as if she was a different life. There was no Xi Cangjin there. He thought he had died on the wind cliff. Xi Cangping personally brought her this bad news. According to their close relationship as brothers, there was no need to deceive her on Xi Cangjin's death.
But, take care of yourself...
Xi Huanyan looked out the door and said lightly, "My mother is inside, right?"
Chen Yangqing's throat moved, so dry that she couldn't speak. She walked to Xi Huanyan and spread her palms. The jade pendant was gentle in color, like amber.
"Ha..." Xi Huanyan looked at the pendant without moving for a long time and could not raise her arm.
Chen Yangqing took her hand with distress and put the pendant on her palm, "Huanyan, Second Aunt will definitely seek justice for your mother and those deceased!"
She said softly again, "Just watch, don't worry, okay, go back to the mountain to learn skills with peace of mind."
The victims who had thought that the wind was burning at the bottom of the cliff were buried under the hunter's house, and the fool knew that the seven surviving people had concealed some things.
But those seven people, including village chief Xi Zhaoshui, spiritual enlightenment Xi Qiongdong, and one-star martial artist Xi Cangping, it would be easy to get along. She must not put the child in danger.
When the other two villagers who came up heard this, they also said, "We are the ones who are in this matter. Let's go to find the elder of the Yixun clan. Even if he is the leader of the clan, he can't fool us!"
"This matter must be the truth. These are all our tribe members. How can we not be buried here and rotten!"
"Second Aunt." Xi Huanyan said, and the cottage immediately became quiet. The three adults looked at her carefully.
"I'm going to take my mother out of here," she said, "I won't leave my mother on the territory of Xijia Village."
These words made the two Xi family members uncomfortable, and they said one after another that they would let the clan take charge of her. Xi Huanyan turned a deaf ear and walked into the basement.
In the dim and smelly room, she looked at one of the corpses with a sense of emotion and could not see clearly the original face.
Xi Huan took off her coat, knelt on the ground, wrapped her up, hugged her up, and sank into the long night.
A cluster of fire lights rose on the river bank, and the world was quiet.
Chen Yangqing wanted to stay by Xi Huanyan's side, but she didn't know what to do and turned around and rushed to the village with a villager to ask the clan's elders to make the decision.
They deliberately bypassed Xi Gaoshui and secretly woke Xi Yixun. When Xi Yixun heard about this, he almost carried it over in one breath. He trembled and asked his daughter Xi Gaoyun to take someone to check the situation.
Xi Gaoyun's reputation in the clan is no worse than that in Xi Yixun. It is just that due to the provision that direct blood relatives are not allowed to sit in the clan hall together, he has not yet become a clan elder, but will handle clan affairs on behalf of Xi Yixun.
