The old lady pulled a bench and sat down.
The cane in his hand tapped his leg gently.
Lu Zhiye felt that the old lady’s legs must have been injured and she couldn’t stand for a long time.
The old lady sighed softly, and her hoarse and rough voice sounded again: "You are from Dali Village, right..."
When she said this, she was looking at the militia captain.
The militia captain nodded and said gruffly, "Yes!"
"A few years ago, there was a theft in your Liyuan, and the militia killed someone in the panic. Do you remember this incident?"
The old lady's words made the militia captain's face change: "You..."
“That’s my son, I have three sons in my life.
I used to be naive and arrogant, thinking that I had deceived the heavens and that bad things would never happen to me.
My family is happy and my children are obedient and sensible.
But later, I found out that I was wrong…”
Through the old lady's wooden words, everyone finally understood the twists and turns in the matter.
It turned out that ever since the small village where they lived was destroyed by wild beasts in the mountains.
The whole family lived here, and thanks to their hunting skills, they lived a rich life.
The eldest son also got married and had a grandson.
One day, the little grandson asked for pears, and the old lady asked the family to go to the pear orchard to buy some.
The three sons agreed and ran to Dali Village excitedly.
They waited and waited at home, but received the news of their son's death.
The daughter-in-law went to inquire in a panic and got the news that the three sons went to the pear orchard to steal fruit and were stabbed to death by someone living near the orchard.
While he was running away in a hurry, he was beaten to death by the militiamen who were following him.
When the old lady first heard the news, she didn't believe it.
She couldn't believe her son would do such a thing.
My eldest son would usually send the wild animals he hunted in the mountains to the black market to exchange for money.
They don't lack the money, so why would they steal fruits?
When everything was settled, the old lady took out something that had been sealed for a long time from the wooden box.
After divination, she found out that the deaths of her three sons were closely related to the Qiao family.
She originally thought that even though her son was gone, she still had a grandson.
Raising my grandson safely and securely is the best way to repay my son.
But who would have thought that the grandson slipped and fell from the mountain and died on the spot.
How could the old lady bear this?
When people suffer a great blow, they tend to become obsessed with trivial matters. The old lady absurdly believed that if her son had not died, nothing would have happened to her grandson and her daughter-in-law would not have run away.
They are still a happy family.
So from then on, the old lady picked up her tools again, and her reputation for being a fortune teller spread.
After many years, she finally seized the opportunity.
But there is one thing she said that is correct.
The Qiao family's baby couldn't be born, so even Qiao Qianqian's baby would have to be buried with her son.
The old lady said she was thirsty, so she slowly picked up a teacup from the table and drank it slowly.
She was counting on her fingers while drinking. Suddenly, the cup in her hand fell. She started counting on her fingers again in disbelief.
"Impossible, impossible, it's obvious that he will die young, why is this......"
She looked crazy, tapping her hands with the cane, and stood up from the stool tremblingly.
"Your son and daughter-in-law are fine?"
Her voice was so sharp that it stung everyone present and they couldn't help but pick their ears.
Lu Yong then raised his chin and said, "My son and daughter-in-law are blessed with good fortunes. They are not something that an old hag like you can predict will happen with just a few words!!"
"Impossible. Impossible."
The old lady was still mumbling, and suddenly, her eyes widened and she looked straight at Lu Zhiye.
Why can't she figure out the person in front of her?
Lu Zhiye frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. The old lady's words were too different from the information given by Captain Qiao.
When Lu Yong got married, Captain Qiao went on stage to commend the deeds of Qiao Qianqian's parents.
Now it seems that things are not that simple.
The old lady's originally cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His body stiffened and he fell straight down.
The militia captain suppressed his pounding heart.
He walked forward quickly and put his hand under the old lady's nose.
There was no breath, just when he was relieved.
Suddenly, a pair of dry and rough hands grabbed his arms tightly.
The militia captain was so frightened that he screamed, "Fuck, fuck, fuck."
Sure enough, when people are extremely nervous, afraid, or surprised, they will speak sweet words and recite the national quintessence crazily!
The militia captain just lowered his head and wanted to reach out to pry open the old lady's skinny hands.
In the blink of an eye, he met her dark eyes, and he was so scared that his lower abdomen tightened immediately.
I almost peed myself. Anyone who saw this scene would be scared.
Lu Zhiye also hurried over. The old lady's pupils had dilated. It seemed that was her last breath.
The black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth made Lu Zhiye sigh lightly: "She calculated that we were coming, and knew she couldn't escape, so she took poison before we came."
Lu Zhiye reached out and closed the old lady's eyes, and helped the militia captain free his arms.
It seems that before the old lady died, she realized that her previous calculations were incorrect.
There was another hidden story behind his son's incident. When his qi and blood surged, it greatly stimulated the spread of the poison.
Lu Yong patted his chest with lingering fear and said to Lu Zhiye: "Brother Ye, why do I feel that this matter is very strange?
My wife also told me about my father-in-law..."
Lu Zhiye gave him a light look, and Lu Yong instantly covered his mouth and shut it.
He quickly changed the subject and said, "This old lady died suddenly, and we haven't found out yet. Where did the medicine come from?"
Lu Zhiye shrugged: "There is nothing we can do about it, none of us could have imagined that something like this would happen suddenly.
Isn't that right, Captain?"
The militia captain nodded as if waking up from a dream: "This comrade is absolutely right, I will report this matter to the brigade and then we will make a decision.
Since the old lady can't get anything out of me here, I will call Captain Qiao and ask the Qiao family to give you an explanation."
Lu Yong nodded in response, and the militia captain forced a smile on his face: "Then let's go."
Lu Yong hesitated for a moment: "What about her?"
"What can we do? We can just ask someone to dig a hole and bury it there."
The militia captain waved his hand and said to the people outside: "Go and see what is in this yard and take everything away."
