The body on the stretcher was that of Old Lady Ning.
Old Mrs. Ning's body was swollen and covered with needles. Her expression was hideous and distorted. It was obvious that she had suffered great pain before her death.
The mayor covered his mouth and nose, then pulled up the white cloth and sighed, "Retribution! This is all retribution!"
"Mayor, what should we do? Should we call the police?" The people in the town gathered around nervously.
"According to what the Fairy said, once Ning Sheng's family is all dead, it will be our turn!"
The mayor gestured towards the crowd, "Don't panic, everyone. We've contacted Taoist Wuya. Although our deposit is small, he's kind and compassionate, and he's promised to bring his master along. With these two experts here, this matter will definitely be resolved."
Everyone was surprised to hear the name Taoist Wu Ya.
In this line of work, reputation is built on word of mouth.
There were many difficult problems that no one could solve, and finally after going around in circles, they found Taoist Wu Ya and were able to solve them. Although the fees were high, his reputation also rose.
It is said that the master behind Taoist Wu Ya is even more powerful. Taoist Wu Ya always says that all his skills were taught to him by his master, but no one has ever seen her use them.
When everyone heard that Taoist Wu Ya's master would come along, they all looked pious.
They repeatedly praised Yuanshan Taoist Temple for its concern for the people of the world, and planned to join the Yuanshan Sect, donate money for incense, and do their part while asking the ancestor to bless them with safety.
Qiao Ruoxi also heard the discussion among the crowd.
In fact, she received a text message from Taoist Wu Ya yesterday, saying that the mayor asked him to come out of seclusion.
Taoist Wu Ya felt that the mayor's offer was not much, and the atmosphere in Ningyuan Town was not good, so he originally did not intend to accept it. However, when he heard that Qiao Ruoxi was in Ningyuan Town, he packed up his bags and set off without saying a word.
Taoist Wuya's last message was: [Follow the master and you'll have meat to eat!] It was followed by an emoji of a well-behaved dog.
Thinking of this, Qiao Ruoxi shook her head helplessly, and heard Pei Yaori's muttering in her ears.
"It's Yaolin, it must be Yaolin seeking revenge..."
"Why are you so sure?" Qiao Ruoxi withdrew her thoughts.
Pei Yaori pointed at the two corpses and said, "Their deaths were the same pain Yaolin had endured. Yaolin once told me that Old Lady Ning once forced her to wash clothes on rainy days, and she wouldn't be allowed to go home for dinner until she finished washing the clothes."
"What about those needles? Have they ever pricked Pei Yaolin with them?" Qiao Ruoxi narrowed her eyes.
Pei Yaori shook his head: "It's not about pricking Yaolin with a needle, it's about pricking Yaolin's daughter with a needle."
"You mean Ning Yimeng?"
Pei Yaori shook his head again: "It's not Mengmeng, but Yaolin's other daughter. I used to think that my little niece died because of congenital weakness and illness, but it seems that is not the case."
Qiao Ruoxi frowned: "Speak more carefully."
Pei Yaori slowly raised his head and looked at Qiao Ruoxi: "Sister-in-law, have you heard of the folk witchcraft of 'killing a girl to get a boy'?"
"They believe that when acupuncture is used on a girl, the louder she cries, the more likely she is to scare away the spirit of a female fetus that is about to reincarnate. Crying to death or dying in pain is the most effective, and the next child will definitely be a boy."
Qiao Ruoxi's face was instantly filled with anger: "This is clearly intentional murder!"
"Yes, if that child really died like this, then the Ningsheng family deserved to die!" Pei Yaori originally clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but gradually squatted down and hugged his head in pain.
"But how could the lives of Ning Sheng's family be worth Yao Lin's soul being torn apart in exchange..."
"If it's really Pei Yaolin's revenge, and Ning Sheng and Ning Xiaohu are still alive, she will definitely come back." Qiao Ruoxi looked up at the sky.
It is destined to rain heavily again tonight.
Just as I was thinking this, the phone rang.
When Qiao Ruoxi saw the word "husband" flashing on the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat.
She promised Pei Yaozhou to go back to the hotel, but he didn't go back all night. She was afraid that he was here to ask her about this.
"Where are you? Why did you answer the phone so late?" As soon as the call was connected, Qiao Ruoxi heard an anxious voice from the other end.
Qiao Ruoxi looked at the rising sun and scratched his head: "I went to Ningyuan Mountain to watch the sunrise, so I didn't go back to the hotel. I will be back soon."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Upon hearing this, Pei Yaozhou's tone obviously relaxed.
As Qiao Ruoxi walked towards the hotel, she asked, "Have you found the person?"
"I didn't find him, and there were no signs of a struggle in the room. He must have sneaked away while I was away." There was a hint of disappointment in Pei Yaozhou's tone.
Qiao Ruoxi slowed down her pace a bit, thinking as she said, "When I was going down the mountain, I happened to pass by Ning Sheng's house. Old Mrs. Ning was also dead, but I didn't see any trace of Ning Yimeng. If she had returned home, such a big thing should have appeared."
"What do you mean?" Pei Yaozhou keenly noticed something.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "Although Ning Yimeng is willful, she is very respectful to you, her uncle. Logically, she wouldn't leave without saying a word. What I mean is, is it possible that she was deceived?"
Pei Yaozhou was silent for a moment: "I see. Thank you, Ruoxi. Also, take care of yourself. Call me if you have anything."
Listening to the gentle and caring tone on the other end of the phone, Qiao Ruoxi recalled what happened last night and her heart beat faster for no apparent reason.
He replied awkwardly, "Okay," and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Facing Pei Yaozhou, she seemed to become a little strange.
