There was silence all around, and the sound of two people's footsteps could be heard faintly. In the dim light, their faces could not be seen clearly, but they could be seen crouching down, looking around vigilantly, and carrying something on their shoulders.
"Is this it?"
"That's right, this is the only vegetable field around here."
"Hurry up and get started. We have to go back to sleep after we're done."
Just as the two were about to move, suddenly, a lantern lit up abruptly, and a light quickly jumped out from the haystack next to a person.
"who?"
"ah!"
The sounds of screams and fists hitting flesh were particularly creepy in the silent night.
Some people living near the fields couldn't help but shiver and hid a little under their quilts.
Located in Zhaojiatian, lanterns illuminate a small area.
The man holding the lantern had a slender figure, with picturesque eyes and eyebrows, and looked particularly cold in the night. He was Zhang Xiuyuan.
In front of him, two women were pressed to the ground by Zhao Chuchu, and two hoes fell beside them.
Tonight, they came to wait for the rabbit, but unexpectedly they actually caught it.
"How dare you come and destroy my food? You're so brave." Zhao Chuchu had a cold arc at the corner of her lips, and her fists continued to fall like raindrops.
There were cries of pain.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, we know we are wrong."
"Oh, spare me, spare me."
Finally, the two men fell to the ground like dead dogs.
Zhao Chuchu stepped forward and kicked him, "Tell me, who is behind you?"
The two shuddered, looked at each other, and shook their heads, "No, no one ordered us to do that."
Zhao Chuchu said "Oh" but didn't get angry. She patted their faces and said quietly, "You don't want to tell me, right? It's okay. I probably guessed who it was. I don't need to know from you. I'm just giving you a chance. Since you don't cherish it, forget it."
She suddenly turned to Zhang Xiuyuan beside her and said, "Brother Yuan, do you know what's the best thing to do on a dark and windy night?"
Zhang Xiuyuan's voice was slightly cold as he uttered four words, "Murder and arson."
"That's right. Brother Yuan, what do you say? I should kill them first and then burn their bodies."
Zhang Xiuyuan: "I just happened to buy kerosene today."
On a cold and lonely night, the couple was at the edge of the field, calmly discussing the murder and cremation of the body. Their conversation was so relaxed, as if they were very experienced in doing such things, and it seemed as if this matter was just an everyday discussion in their opinion.
Their voices, in the night, sounded like those of evil spirits, terrifying.
"My dear wife, please get rid of them quickly so that we can go back to bed." Zhang Xiuyuan urged.
"Okay, I'll take care of it now."
The two people lying on the ground raised their heads with difficulty, and saw Zhao Chuchu's face in the light of the lantern. Her face was a little blurry under the reflection of the lantern. Suddenly, she smiled, her face was ferocious, like an evil ghost crawling out from the ground to take lives.
One of them widened his eyes and fainted with fright.
The other man quickly begged for mercy and gave away all the people behind him.
Zhao Chuchu: ...I'm so pretty, is my smile really that scary? It hurts.
As Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan expected, the person behind the two was Liu Erniang.
The reason they were waiting here tonight was because they had read Qing'er's letter.
In the letter, Qing'er said that Liu Erniang would send people to destroy the vegetables in their fields tonight. Of course, this was only the first step. They had other plans. As for what they were, Qing'er didn't know. She just reminded them to be more careful.
