The village chief of Nanqiao Village is an old man in his fifties. He is not tall but very smart.

He looked around the noisy yard and frowned: "What are you all doing here? Don't you have anything to do?"

Someone brave enough to hide in the crowd replied: "Village Chief, we are just free."

Everyone laughed.

The village chief was also helpless, as the villagers just loved to watch the fun.

Wang Po had no one to rely on in the village, and her only son was still in prison, so the village chief sent someone to find her only brother.

"No one is allowed to enter the house." The village chief had no intention of disturbing the scene. He simply thought the scene was scary. After he gave the order, he left with a grim expression. He had to find a place where no one was around to vomit. It was too disgusting.

The biggest victim in this incident was Hu Wen.

He came to settle accounts with Wang Po today. He knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. He thought Wang Po was guilty and didn't dare to open the door.

So he climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

The yard was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the sound of tiny chewing.

Hu Wen strode towards the house, opened the door, and let in the sunlight. He was struck by an extremely foul odor that nearly made him vomit. Before he realized what was happening, he took two steps forward, slipped, and fell, his hand still resting on a pile of soft objects...

It was Wang Po's body, which had been bitten into pieces and was bloody. Hu Wen touched it...

The scream came from Hu Wen. He was so scared that he didn't even have the strength to get up. In the end, he was helped back by villagers who came after hearing the news.

Seeing him like this and hearing what happened, Hu's mother was so angry that she cursed loudly in the yard.

She felt that Su Wei was to blame. If she hadn't seduced Hu Wen, how could he have been involved with Wang Po?

When Wang Po's body was carried out, Su Wei hid far away and didn't dare to look. She was afraid that if she saw it, she would have a nightmare at night.

Several women not far away were also discussing this matter.

"A few years ago, that old man Chen from our village died in the same way, right?"

"Who says it's not true? Old man Chen is also a bachelor. He always likes to buy candies for the children in the village. The children like him very much."

"I remember he liked Shen Erlang the most. Sometimes he wouldn't give candy to anyone else but Shen Erlang."

"Who made Shen Er look so good? He looks like a New Year picture doll."

"You're getting off topic. Let's talk about Old Man Chen." A woman who had just gotten married and didn't know anything about Old Man Chen urged everyone to hurry up.

Then the woman began to speak: "Yes, Old Man Chen had no children and died in the winter. His body was eaten by rats..."

Everyone sighed.

"If you ask me, it's not okay to be childless. You could die in your room and no one would know."

"that is…"

As everyone was talking, they started talking about their own disobedient children.

Su Wei frowned slightly.

It was not surprising that an old man Chen died in the village. After all, she had heard such rumors in her previous life, but the fact that he was related to Shen Yan made her more cautious.

When Su Wei entered the room, Chen Yan was still sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, just like she was in confinement after childbirth.

Su Wei picked up the needle and thread, and while sewing the remaining part, he told her what happened outside.

Chen Yan said nothing.

Su Wei took the initiative to say: "I also heard that there was an old man named Chen in the village who had the same situation. Do you know Old Man Chen?"

Chen Yan glanced at her, and just when Su Wei thought he wouldn't answer, he said, "Of course I know."

Su Weiyi was stunned. She always felt that Chen Yan's look was a little strange.

She continued sewing calmly and said casually, "Are you sad that he died?"

Chen Yan laughed, and his body shook with laughter.

Su Wei stopped what he was doing and looked at him.

Chen Yan was like crazy.

Su Wei has been here for a few days and has been with him for a few days, but he still can't figure out his temper.

I only heard Chen Yan ask: "Have you seen Wang Po's body?"

Su Wei shook his head.

Chen Yan said, "I have seen the body of old man Chen."

Su Wei felt that the direction he was heading was not right.

Chen Yan had a strange smile on his face and said, "Aren't you going to ask me why I saw his body?"

Su Wei doesn’t know and doesn’t want to know!!!

The room was very depressing. Su Wei went out again. Several women were still gossiping. Seeing Su Wei like this, they looked at each other and showed some understanding.

A woman joked, "Shen Erjia, why are you running?"

Su Wei walked towards her and stood in front of the woman.

"You just said that an old man named Chen died in the village?"

The woman nodded: "I did say that, what's the matter?"

Su Wei asked: "Nothing, I'm just curious, who found Old Man Chen's body?"

The woman's face changed: "Who else could it be, isn't it your Shen Er?"

Seeing Su Wei's bad face, the woman deliberately said: "But Shen Er is much more promising than Hu Wen. When he was released, he didn't shout, cry or make a fuss..."

"Let him out?" Su Wei looked at the woman in surprise.

The woman said, "Isn't it just about releasing him? I don't know which wicked person locked him up in Old Man Chen's house. It was midnight when his mother found him."

Su Wei almost lost his balance.

So, as a child, Chen Yan once spent a night with a disfigured corpse...

Seeing her ugly face and shaky face, the woman reminded in a low voice: "Shen Er's family, auntie is kindly reminding you, this Shen Er..." She pointed to her head: "There is a problem here."

Su Wei took her hand and asked, "What do you mean?"

The woman felt pain from her grip and frowned, saying, "What can that mean? He's mentally ill. What normal child would react like that after spending most of the night with a corpse?"

"Stop talking." Another woman held the man who was talking and said to Su Wei with a smile, "Mrs. Chen Er, don't listen to what Shi Tou Niang said. Chen Er is frightened..."

Stone Lady was not convinced.

"What nonsense, it is just..." She wanted to say something else, but was dragged away by several women.

Su Wei stood there for a while and looked at the gate of Wang Po's house again.

The Shen family's new house is at the other end of the village. When Chen Yan was a child, he must have lived in the old house...

The neighbor at that time was Wang Po.

so…

Was it Wang Po who asked Chen Yan to go find Old Man Chen? Then who locked the door?

"It's me...it's all me..." Hu Wen had a high fever when he returned home. He spoke nonsense, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to that winter day...

It was an evening when he saw the most annoying Shen Er.

He had bullied Shen Er before and was beaten by Shen Dalang, and he had been holding a grudge against him. This time...

Hu Wen followed him with a quick glance. He saw Chen Yan enter Old Man Chen's house. Without thinking, Hu Wen took a wooden stick and locked the door.

After that, he secretly left and fell asleep when he got home. It was not until the next day that he learned that Old Man Chen had died. Chen Yan was not found until almost dawn...

Hu Wen knew that he had gotten into trouble, so he ran to Shen's house, fearing that Shen Yan would say something.

However, Chen Yan said nothing and never mentioned it later. Hu Wen once tried to test him and found that Chen Yan had no reaction to the matter.

Hu Wencai was relieved.

He thought that Shen Er must have been frightened and forgotten about this matter...
