Chapter 109 Who killed him?
Luo Qiuyue staggered, "How could this happen? How could this happen..."
Ye Yanlan collapsed in the Huo family yard, bleeding from all seven orifices, and died in a horrific manner.
The villagers had never seen such a horrific scene and were all terrified.
The timid ones only dared to stand far away and did not dare to come closer to take a look.
The children came to watch the fun, but were sent home by the adults.
Huo Danian and Yao Shi trembled with fear, and kept explaining, "It really has nothing to do with us. When we returned home, she was bragging to us that she could stay in Heihe Village. Unexpectedly, she suddenly collapsed, convulsed twice, and died!"
The old doctor, suppressing his nausea, walked closer, took out a silver needle and tested it in the blood. "Strange, it looks like he was poisoned, but there is no poison!"
The village head said sternly: "Huo Danian, did you kill Ye Yanlan?"
Huo Danian's voice was filled with tears, "I really didn't!"
Yao was so anxious that her tongue was tied. "I... I didn't do that! Even if I wanted to kill her, I wouldn't be so stupid as to do it in the village! It won't be too late to do it after we leave Heihe Village!"
"But the Ye family has Ye Yanlan in their care. I'm afraid it's impossible for you to kill her outside." The village head stared at the two of them. "Tell me the truth, do you not want Ye Yanlan to share the family property, so you just want to kill her?"
“No!”
"We are being wronged!"
"If we were the ones who killed Ye Yanlan, then our family of three will die without a burial place!
Huo Danian and Yao couldn't help but swear an oath and kept complaining.
The village head looked at the Ye family and asked, "What do you think about this?"
Luo Qiuyue said with red eyes: "The silver needle can't detect poison, which means he was not poisoned. Although Huo Danian and Yao are a little cunning, they are not the kind of people who would kill people."
"Yan Pingniang, you are such a good person! Thank you for speaking the truth!"
Huo Danian and Yao wanted to kowtow and express their gratitude.
"If you want to blame someone, blame the child's bad luck. I guess Huo Zhongnian was too lonely over there, so he took her away too!"
Luo Qiuyue staggered as she spoke. "This is so tragic! The child I raised with my own hands is gone just like that! How can I accept this?!"
"Help your mother go back and rest." Ye Buwei ordered.
The three brothers of the Ye family hurriedly helped Luo Qiuyue back.
The villagers sighed and lamented, "The Ye family raised this adopted daughter for over a decade in vain. She died just as they were reconciled."
"I think she's just like Huo Zhongnian. She did too many bad things, so God couldn't stand it anymore and took her away too!"
"I think there's something wrong with the Huo family's house. Three people died in one month. It's so scary!"
The village head waved his hand and said to Huo Danian, "Drag him away and bury him!"
"Those who want to help can stay and help, and those who don't want to help can go away!" The village head walked away with his hands behind his back.
The others dispersed, leaving no one behind.
Only a fool would stay and help.
This was the third person buried by Huo Danian within a month.
Among the three, Mrs. Huo is the only one who has a coffin.
They just dug a hole that day and buried Huo Zhongnian.
Today, Huo Danian didn't even want to dig a hole, so he just dug up the previous hole and buried Ye Yanlan with a few shovels of soil.
Huo Danian and his family left Heihe Village before dark.
No matter if there was a problem with the Huo family's old house or somewhere else, the Huo family really didn't dare to stay there any longer.
Who would have thought that the Huo family had been a highly respected family in the village for many years, but ended up like this in just a few months!
Looking at the sad backs of Huo Danian's family of three leaving, the villagers couldn't help but think in their hearts:
If the Huo family had not sold Xiaojiu that day, would the ending be different?
But there are no ifs in this world.
The corner of the Ye family.
The three brothers each looked in a different direction, observing their surroundings nervously.
Ye Yanping: "Safe!"
Ye Yanan: "Safe!"
Ye Yanshun: "Safe!"
The three of them looked alert and spoke in low voices.
"Brother, Ah Shun, do you think Ye Yanlan's death is strange?" Ye Yan'an held a piece of grass in his mouth. "If you think so, nod your head!"
Ye Yanping nodded.
Ye Yanshun nodded.
"Something's definitely wrong!" Ye Yanping whispered, "He was full of energy and kept cursing before, but in the blink of an eye, he just died!"
"Anyway, I don't believe in the idea of retribution from gods and ghosts." Ye Yanshun said softly, "Ye Yanlan's death is not that simple."
"What do you think? Did Daddy strike again?" Ye Yanping took a breath. "Daddy loves Xiaojiu so much, but Ye Yanlan kept scolding Xiaojiu today. Can Daddy resist killing her?"
Ye Yan'an said: "Brother, you must have confidence in yourself. You are also very important to Daddy. Daddy may be venting his anger on you."
Ye Yanping waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I know myself well."
Daddy won't kill anyone for him.
"I don't think this is my father's style." Ye Yanshun pondered, "Look at Huo Zhongnian's death, and then look at Ye Yanlan's death. The difference between the two is too great."
"That's right..."
The three of them were silent for a moment.
When Huo Zhongnian died that day, he didn't have a single wound on his body, which was consistent with his father's low-key and unconcerned personality.
The way Ye Yanlan died would give you nightmares, as if telling the whole world, look, how tragically Ye Yanlan died!
Daddy wouldn't kill people in such a fancy way.
"Do you think Mom is acting strangely today?" Ye Yan'an asked.
Ye Yanshun nodded, "It's a bit strange. Mother has always been clear about what she loves and hates, so why would she suddenly soften her heart and forgive Ye Yanlan?"
"So, I have a bold guess!" Ye Yan'an's scalp tingled when he thought of that possibility, "Ye Yanlan was actually killed by my mother..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Ye Yanping covered his mouth with his hand. "Are you being rude? Did your head get caught in the door? My mother even went to the village head to plead for Ye Yanlan, how could she possibly kill her again? Besides, is my mother the kind of person who would kill someone?"
Ye Yan'an pushed his hand away, "Brother, you don't understand. Mom went to the village head to plead for mercy so that no one would suspect her! You said Mom doesn't look like someone who would kill, and I disagree even more. Does our dad look like someone who would kill? In terms of the degree of ferocious appearance, our mom is the one who kills without blinking an eye!"
Ye Yanping couldn't argue with him, so he nudged Ye Yanshun with his elbow, "A Shun, go ahead!"
Ye Yanshun said: "It's hard to say. Anyway, I am becoming more and more confused about the situation of our family. In any case, Ye Yanlan's death is most likely related to our family."
Ye Yanping said: "Anyway, it wouldn't be my daughter who did it! My daughter only likes thunder!"
"Our father and mother are actually a pair of thieves, a pair of thieves! It's just that our mother's ordinary appearance masks her true strength!" Ye Yan'an lowered his voice and said, "They hid their identities in Heihe Village just to wait for the Netherworld Dragon-Catching Flower. Once our father's eyes are healed, they may return to the underworld and resume their old ways!"
Ye Yanshun opened his mouth wide, "Second brother, what did you say? What are you talking about? What's your old profession?"
Ye Yan'an patted his head sympathetically and said with an enigmatic expression, "Ah Shun, you're still young, you don't need to know this. Anyway, our family has a big secret, and once it's exposed, it will be like a huge hole in the sky!"
