It seemed that he didn't take her worries into consideration at all...
"So what if it's related? So what if it's not related? No one will know, right?"
Under the piercing gazes of Hua Xiao and Hua Li, Hua Yu's cold and desolate voice rang out.
The last sentence is clearly a rhetorical question, but when people hear it, it becomes an affirmative statement.
"Second brother...?" Hua Li called out stupidly. She felt that the way her second brother looked at them was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
My second brother has been acting so cold lately, and the way he looks at people is frightening. Every time I talk to him, he always... how should I put it...
Hua Li thought about it over and over again, but couldn't describe what the feeling was, he just felt it was very strange.
My second brother wasn't like this before. When you talked to him, he would listen to you very carefully and nod in response from time to time. Even if he looked cold and didn't like to talk much, he wouldn't make people feel like he is now... scared.
Hua Shi saw that the atmosphere became silent and strange as soon as Hua Yu spoke, so he said, "Okay, just remember that the dead wild boar by the stream has nothing to do with us. Don't worry about anything else."
She was telling the truth.
When she first heard about the disappearance of the dead wild boar, she was stunned and doubtful for a moment, but she did not feel worried at all.
Especially after seeing the scene, I felt completely relieved.
Because in the final analysis, from beginning to end, the villagers would never associate this incident with them. They would only think that it was an accident and would only guess that it was related to the wild beasts in the mountains foraging for food. At most, they would worry that the villagers living at the foot of the mountain would be attacked by the wild beasts coming down the mountain.
It is absolutely impossible for them to think that this matter has anything to do with them. Thinking too much is not only useless but also futile and unnecessary.
Hua Xiao and Hua Li nodded obediently.
Hua Shi stood up, rubbed the heads of the two men one by one, and then began to give orders: "We still have a mission today. We don't have any free time until the fish pond in the backyard is cleaned out. So, have you guys rested well now?"
Hua Li had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he quickly discarded them. When he heard Hua Shi change the subject, his thoughts also changed. He nodded excitedly: "Rest well, let's go over quickly!"
When Hua Shi first mentioned building a fish pond, Hua Xiao and Hua Li were the first to express their confusion, and even didn't want to do such things in their hearts. Knowing that all the fish-raising families in the village, except the He family, had a good ending, they were even less willing to do it.
But in the past two days, Hua Li has figured it out. After all, they have built a fish pond. Even if they can't sell the fish, it doesn't matter. The fish pond is still theirs, and it's close to the yard, just a few steps away. In the future, whenever they want to eat fish, they can eat as much as they want, until they are sick of it...
Besides, it would be so impressive if the news of my own fish pond got out, and I could even show off to Xie Wanyuan, hahahaha...
Hua Shi looked at Hua Xiao and Hua Li, rubbed their faces with two small hoes, and dragged the dazed Xiao Huaying straight towards the backyard.
The three of them looked excited from behind, but no one knew what they were so excited about...
"Hua Yu...? Hua Yu? What are you staring at? I've called you several times."
Hua Shi took out a hammer from the corner of the yard. Holding it in his hand, he looked up at Hua Yu, who was sitting at the table in a daze. He called out to him several times, but Hua Yu didn't respond.
"Hua Yu?..." Hua Shi shouted twice again.
"What…?"
He seemed to be in a daze. After a long while, he looked up at her absentmindedly. It was a subconscious movement, but his dark eyes were empty and no emotion could be seen.
Hua Shi looked at him for a long time before his eyes finally focused and looked towards her, a hint of doubt visible in her pupils.
"What are you thinking about?" Hua Shi asked curiously.
"I suddenly remembered something..."
When he said this, his eyes were clearly looking at her, but his pupils were very dilated, as if he was looking at something through her.
Hua Shi felt vaguely uneasy, but still asked out loud: "What's the matter?"
Hua Yu's pupils flickered before his vision slowly focused. He looked into her eyes and said, "There's a family surnamed Xie that raises pigs. Two years ago, the old man from that family went to feed the pigs in the evening when he slipped and fell into the pigpen. The seven or eight pigs in the pen thought the old man lying motionless on the ground was food for them, so they ate him alive."
As he said this, Hua Yu was still staring into her eyes, as if observing the changes in her facial expression.
Hua Shi had a tense face and frowned, as if she didn't understand what he meant or why.
Hua Yu sighed, as if lamenting something: "When the family found out, there were only a few bloody bones left in the pigpen."
Hua Shi's frown never relaxed, and he asked in a calm voice, "What do you mean by that?"
Hua Yu shook his head: "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that you said... people eat pork, and pigs eat human flesh."
After he said that, he stood up, reached out to take the hammer from Hua Shi's hand, put it back, picked up a hoe, and walked slowly towards the backyard.
Hua Shi stood there, recalling Hua Yu's words, and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
What does Hua Yu mean by this...? Pigs eating human flesh? What does he want to express...
I don’t know if Hua Xiao and Hua Li felt that their second brother had changed, but Hua Shi also noticed that he had become silent and taciturn, rarely speaking on his own initiative. Most of the time he would sit alone with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking.
It was the first time in a few days that I had spoken on my own initiative, and the words I said the moment I opened my mouth made me feel more and more terrified the more I thought about them...
Flower time is lost in thought.
She now has no idea what Hua Yu is. After planning and indirectly killing the three Li family members, Hua Yu has become...vague.
Yes, that's what he meant. He didn't show anything on his face and didn't ask about anything. He would do whatever she asked him to do without asking questions, let alone thinking about why she did it...
Take the fish pond project for example. When she proposed it, not only did Huaying, the youngest, speak incoherently and seem unconcerned about anything but food, but even Huaxiao and Huali expressed confusion and bewilderment, even hinting at disapproval. However, since she was the one who made the decisions in the household, they didn't protest too much.
Hua Yu, on the other hand, didn't care at all. She said to build it, and whatever she said was what it was. She had no intention of asking any questions...
I don’t know whether this is good or bad.
