Chapter 526: The Old Man Sends Off the Young Man
He Hong collapsed instantly upon hearing this, and cried out in tears, "Grandma!"
Xiao Ling said: "When Grandma He found out about her granddaughter's accident, she immediately rushed to the school gate and knelt down, demanding that the school find the murderer and make him pay with his life."
"I want to see my grandma!" He Hong staggered to her feet, and anxiously turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared in front of the two people.
Shen Wan and Xiao Ling hurried to the school gate.
I saw a white-haired old lady kneeling there with a hunched body like a shrimp.
Her skinny, dark hands tightly held a five-point photo of He Hong taken when she was in junior high school. The edges of the photo were worn, but had been wiped clean.
In front of Grandma He, there was an old piece of clothing that was yellowed from washing and full of patches spread on the ground.
Written crookedly in blood were four large characters: A life for a life!
The school gate was crowded with passers-by at this time. Everyone was pointing and talking, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.
"I heard that something happened at school and two female students died."
"Ah? How could this happen?"
"Could it be that the student jumped off the building and died because of bullying?"
"Who knows? There are many children who are bullied in school these days..."
Everyone was talking about it.
Grandma He turned a deaf ear to it, her face covered with grief as if frost and snow. She knelt there stubbornly, letting people around her come and go and talk about it.
The school director had a worried look on his face, feeling overwhelmed.
Just after sending away He Hong's unreasonable parents, he ran into this old lady who was determined to seek justice.
"Old lady, I have made it very clear to your son and daughter-in-law that the compensation has to wait until the police have investigated thoroughly and the school has held a meeting to discuss it. I really can't give you a definite answer now!"
"It's a bad influence for you to kneel here, get up quickly!"
The person in charge tried to persuade her earnestly but did not dare to go forward to pull her, for fear that if something unexpected happened, the old lady's son would ask for an even higher price.
Grandma He's thin, hunched body swayed, but she remained as firm as if she had taken root in the same place. With red eyes, she shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Whoever killed Hong Hong, I will make him pay with his life!!"
The image of her granddaughter, well-behaved and sensible, appeared in front of her eyes.
The grandson she raised is so sensible and outstanding.
My granddaughter called me yesterday afternoon and said she would go back to the countryside to live for a while during the holidays.
Honghong's voice was still sweet, but she could clearly hear a hint of hidden grievance in it.
She knew very well that her son and daughter-in-law had never liked her granddaughter. She didn't know how much she would be looked down upon and bullied when she went to the city, and she didn't know whether she had enough food and clothes to eat.
She was worried, so after hanging up the phone she rushed to the vegetable garden and carefully picked out the freshest and greenest vegetables, and also dug out the country eggs that she had saved for some days, thinking of using them to nourish her granddaughter.
He also caught the old hen that had laid eggs the most diligently over the years, intending to make a pot of hot chicken soup for his granddaughter.
She had been looking forward to seeing her granddaughter, but now everything has come to nothing.
"Kill for life! Kill for life!!"
Grandma He screamed hysterically.
What she couldn't see was that the beloved grandson she missed day and night was kneeling in front of her and crying.
“Grandma… Wuuuuu… Grandma, please get up quickly… I don’t want you to kneel down anymore… Grandma, please get up quickly…”
In her third year of junior high school, her so-called father returned to the countryside and did not allow her to continue studying. He even went to the school to complete the procedures for her to drop out.
It was her grandmother who rushed to the school, scolded her father and sent him away, and then pleaded with the school to allow her to continue her studies.
Later she found out that her father planned to let her work in a factory and give the salary subsidy to them.
Xiao Ling saw He Hong crying and begging her grandmother to get up quickly, her hands helplessly passing through Grandma He's body again and again, and she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
"Master Shen, why would such a good child encounter such a thing? It's simply a disaster from heaven."
"They shouldn't have ended up like this."
Shen Wan's eyes tightened, and he walked to Grandma He's side with big strides, and said to her: "I'll take you to see Honghong."
Grandma He was stunned, and suddenly she couldn't hold it anymore, and staggered to her feet, "Okay, okay, let's go see Honghong."
Her son just told her that Honghong was in trouble and that the school refused to take responsibility. So she came here and knelt down to seek justice for her granddaughter.
Chen Wan held Grandma He's hand and walked into the school. He specifically asked Xiao Ling to send everyone away and went into an empty room.
Grandma He's expression suddenly changed, she grabbed the old clothes and threw it at Shen Wan's head.
"You lied to me! There's no Hong Hong here!"
Xiao Ling quickly stepped forward to pull her away and sprayed some cow's tears into her eyes.
"What are you going to do to an old woman like me?" Grandma He was about to curse when she saw a familiar figure gradually emerging beside Xiao Ling.
"Honghong?"
He Hong rushed over crying, "Grandma!"
Grandma He was shocked. She immediately reacted when she saw her granddaughter's translucent body and burst into tears, "Honghong!"
Shen Wan and Xiao Ling walked out of the room silently, leaving the space to the grandparents and grandchildren.
The grief-stricken cries of the grandparents and grandchildren could be heard continuously from inside.
"Master Shen, I heard from Officer Xue that you have captured a fox demon, but today's two victims were killed after you captured the demon. Does this mean that there are other fox demons harming people?"
Chen Wan looked up at the sky above the school. Unlike when he came here, the evil aura that filled the sky had faded.
The fox demon has slipped away and is no longer in Jincheng.
"I checked the body of the victim in the duty room. There were fine teeth marks on the wound. An adult fox demon would not leave such marks when committing a crime. The one I captured before was indeed an adult fox demon. In my opinion, the most likely perpetrators of this murder were a few fox cubs."
"Fox cubs?" Xiao Ling was shocked. "There are several of them! We can't just leave them out there. It will be terrible if there are more victims."
The fox demon was extremely cruel in harming people. It only targeted young girls and ate their hearts and other internal organs, causing them to die in a very tragic way.
Chen Wan pondered for a moment and said, "The fox cubs killed four people in a short period of time. After a full meal, they need time to digest. Now they must be hiding. The evil spirit above Jincheng has become very weak, which means they have left this place. I need you to help prepare some things."
She found a pen and paper and quickly wrote down what was needed.
"Three strands of three-tailed fox hair."
Xiao Ling was shocked: "Three-tailed fox? Ah, where can I find this?"
Chen Wan said bluntly: "It's in the collection room of the Ninth Bureau. You can just apply to the Ninth Bureau directly. Fox fur contains the spirit of foxes, which can arouse the fox cubs' sense of closeness to their own kind, so as to attract them out."
"Secondly, prepare four peach wood branches that are over a hundred years old. Peach wood can suppress evil spirits. I will use it to set up the altar to prevent them from escaping."
"Finally, prepare these foods."
Xiao Ling took a look at what she had written, which was all about food.
"Is this something foxes like to eat?"
"Yes, we will catch foxes at night."
"Okay!"
