Thinking of the secret between his father and Lin Zhang, Chi Mu didn't bother to run the store anymore. He quietly came to the door of Lin Zhang's house.
Because Lin Zhang's house has no yard, the front door is directly their house, and there are two windows on the side.
This provided Chi Mu with considerable convenience in eavesdropping.
Chi Mu carefully stuck to the window and pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between his father and Lin Zhang in the room.
"Xiao Lin, have you said anything to the people in the village recently? I learned from Xiao Mu that he recently heard from others that your wife did not marry into the next village."
My father's strong voice sounded, his tone very serious.
"Brother Chi, ahem...only the two of us know about this matter, there is absolutely no third person who knows about it.
Besides, how could I possibly tell outsiders about such an ugly thing? If others knew about it, I would have been out of the village long ago."
"Ahem.....Ahem. Besides, Miaomiao is very smart. If someone in the village talks about this and it gets to her ears, how can I still be a father...Ahem."
Lin Zhang spoke in a very low voice and coughed several times after just a few words.
It can be heard that his tuberculosis is already in a critical stage and is beyond recovery.
"But if you didn't tell others, where did Xiaomu hear the rumor from?"
The father felt very confused. Lin Zhang did not reply and just kept coughing.
When Chi Mu heard his father's words, his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
It is not difficult to hear from the conversation between my father and Lin Zhang that Lin Zhang's wife did not marry into the next village, and only Lin Zhang and his father knew about this.
It doesn't sound like a very glorious thing.
So my father and Lin Zhang didn't mention it to anyone else.
Chi Mu lied to his father at noon and told him that he had heard the rumor from the villagers.
"It's bad. If Lin Zhang and my father haven't told anyone else, they will immediately suspect me and think I'm investigating this matter!"
In panic, Chi Mu's heart was beating rapidly.
"Hehe, Brother Chi, you don't have to be so sensitive. Only the two of us know about this matter, so what if there are rumors in the village...
They have no evidence, and no one can openly accuse me. Besides, there have been deaths in the village every day recently, so who can care about this matter? "
"That's true, but... never mind. It's been so long since this happened. I don't think anyone else will find out."
The father paused, then said earnestly: "Xiao Lin, your health is getting worse day by day. I have long advised you to accept Cripple Li's suggestion, so that you can live a few more years.
If you leave now, don't you consider what will happen to your daughter?"
Chi Mu was shocked again when he heard the name of Cripple Li from his father.
Before he could think about the relationship between the three people, Lin Zhang spoke.
"Brother Chi, please stop trying to persuade me about this matter. I really can't accept Cripple Li's method. I am also a father. Although he uses only dead people, but...
I think it's still too cruel. It's damaging one's virtue! Brother Chi, I advise you to keep some distance from Cripple Li. He's not a good person.
Look at his son Li Tiezhu, he has become like this now, cough cough cough... it's because Lame Li did evil things all his life, and God is punishing him!"
After hearing Lin Zhang's words, his father sighed heavily.
“In that case, I won’t persuade you anymore, but you don’t persuade me either…everything you did was for your daughter Miaomiao.
I did all this for my wife. Neither of us is a good person. "
My father patted his butt, stood up and prepared to leave.
Chi Mu was shocked when he saw this and wanted to leave immediately, otherwise he would definitely run into his father.
“Crack!”
Chi Mugang turned around and accidentally stepped on a branch and broke it.
Although the noise was not very loud, my father was a famous hunter in the village. He hunted in the mountains all year round and was very sensitive to sounds.
Besides, his meeting with Lin Zhang was not to be made public, so his father remained vigilant.
His father immediately noticed the noise caused by Chi Mu.
“Who is it?!”
My father raised his eyebrows, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he rushed to the window.
Chi Mu fled the scene as quickly as possible. After his father opened the window, he only saw a few footprints on the ground.
There was also the windowsill, where Chi Mu had picked up dust when he was eavesdropping just now.
"Brother Chi, is there someone outside?!"
Lin Zhang's face changed drastically.
My father looked at these marks and his face turned ugly. He responded in a deep voice: "Someone must have heard our conversation just now."
"What should we do then?"
"It's okay. We didn't tell you directly what happened just now. Even if he eavesdropped, he only knew half of it. Don't worry."
My father stood there in thought for a moment, then left Lin Zhang's home.
Chi Mu hid in the distance. He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his father coming out of Lin Zhang's house.
He is now 100% sure that Lin Zhang's wife definitely did not marry into the next village, but was killed by his father and Lin Zhang.
Otherwise, Lin Zhang and his father would never have said such words just now.
"Why on earth? Why did the two of them attack Lin Zhang's wife?"
Chi Mu was puzzled.
I am becoming more and more panicked. Now many clues and traces have surfaced, but more and more people are involved.
