Chapter 1064 The Returnee's Notes 138

"Qiu Wei!"

Qiu Dafu's face darkened, and he glared fiercely at Qiu Wei.

"It's Qiu Dafu. He went into Guibei Mountain and learned the method of raising corpses from there. As long as Uncle Qing isn't buried, he can use his own blood to control Uncle Qing, after all, he's Uncle Qing's son..."

Qiu Wei's words were incoherent and incomplete, failing to clearly explain how Qiu Dafu raised corpses. However, he did point out a key point: Qiu Dafu obtained the method from Guibei Mountain.

Xie Ning didn't know what Guibei Mountain was, but the old lady's expression changed. She counted on her fingers and then glared at Qiu Dafu, "You really don't care about your life! I thought that even if you did something bad, you didn't commit murder, so you might still have a chance to live."

But you actually... Hmph, good luck to you.

Just then, Qiu Laosan arrived with his men. "The fire is already lit, sorceress, shall we light it now?"

The old woman nodded. "Burn it along with the body in the coffin."

Xie Ning followed the old lady out. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a creak and a hunched old woman slowly shuffled out of the door frame.

Old Qiu was directing the others to carry the sack when he turned his head and saw his sister-in-law coming out. He glanced at the contents of the sack and couldn't bear to leave.

He stepped forward and helped Sister Qiu up. "Sister Qiu, what are you doing out here? The ground isn't flat, be careful not to slip and fall. I'll have Chaozi bring you food later."

Sister Qiu looked around with her dull eyes, then gripped Qiu Laosan's arm tightly. "Laosan, Dafu isn't married yet and he's immature. Don't take it to heart."

"Your brother's gone, so you'll have to help that kid out a lot."

Old Qiu glanced at Qiu Dafu, who had his head hanging low, and took a deep breath. He often argued with Qiu Qing and didn't like his nephew Qiu Dafu, but his sister-in-law was a good person.

When his wife was pregnant and he wasn't home, this old woman pushed her to the clinic in a cart.

So their family is very grateful to this older sister-in-law.

But what good is a good person if he ends up with a clueless brother who only had one son, Qiu Dafu, late in life and spoiled him rotten. As he grew up, he became a good-for-nothing.

Putting everything else aside, the gambling alone completely ruined this family.

Thinking of Qiu Dafu's gambling, Qiu Laosan's gaze involuntarily fell on Qiu's sister-in-law's eyes. Back then, Qiu Dafu had planned to gamble a few rounds and win money to treat his mother's illness.

But gambling is always more about losing than winning, not to mention the possibility of other people setting traps.

Even now, does Qiu Dafu still remember why he went to the gambling table?

Seeing that Qiu Laosan did not respond, Qiu's wife became worried and called out a few more times. She knew that Qiu Dafu was not a good person, but he was still her child, the child she had longed for for so long, and she couldn't let him go.

"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll keep an eye on things," Qiu Laosan finally agreed.

Agreeing to something is one thing, doing it is another.

Qiu Laosan couldn't let it go, after all, Qiu Dafu was trying to kill Qiu Laosan's whole family!

And that was an unfilial brat!

"Please sit here for a bit, I'll be right there."

He's busy right now, and Qiu Laosan doesn't have time to talk to Qiu's wife for long. He plans to call his wife in to keep an eye on things after he goes out.

Xie Ning turned to look at the old woman sitting blankly on the steps, clutching her cane. She felt that the old woman's gray eyes seemed to have seen something, and they darkened even more, like the deep twilight of the night, overflowing with sorrow.

A blind person has more sensitive hearing. The commotion here is quite significant. Does Qiu Dafu's mother really not know anything about it?

The old lady patted Xie Ning on the shoulder, glanced back at the old woman, and asked in a low voice, "Did you figure anything out?"

Xie Ning turned back and said, "Her good fortune is yet to come."

Judging from the old woman's appearance, she has a long life ahead of her, and her future may not necessarily be bad.

Perhaps she would be better off without these two men.

A bonfire had already been set up outside, but thanks to Qiu Laosan's invitation, there were only two or three people around to watch the excitement.

Old Qiu hesitated and didn't move, only asking in a low voice, "Witch doctor, can I still see my eldest brother?"

Xie Ning pricked up her ears, wanting to see what a half-zombie looked like, but unfortunately the old lady wouldn't allow it.

Is that something really beautiful? Don't get scared later.

So even after the half-dead body in the sack was thrown into the fire, Xie Ning and the others still didn't see the other person's face.

The old woman threw several talismans into the fire. As the fire intensified, Xie Ning vaguely saw a charred arm crawling out, but it was quickly engulfed by the flames, eliciting a low, hoarse scream.

Thick black smoke rose, emitting a foul stench. If the old lady hadn't lit incense beforehand to mask the smell, the people around would probably have vomited long ago.

"There is still one soul."
