Chapter 58

  Watching them walk away, Ah Jian still sat there in a daze. Five years ago, when he was only 15 or 16 years old, his father had gone up the mountain and never came back home. His mother asked him to go find his dad on the mountain. At that time, he absolutely did not expect that terrible curse would actually kill his own father.

  He saw a scene on the mountain that he would never forget in his life, his father's body was charred and emitted a strong stench, his body was twisted and shrunk, originally tall and big, but now as small as an infant, however, his face remained intact, it was precisely because of this that he could confirm the blackened body belonged to his own father.

  Tears fell again on his face. As the saying goes, "A man has tears but does not easily shed them." People only use the first half of this sentence, but there is also a second half: "Only when he hasn't reached the point of heartbreak."

  At some point, a girl appeared behind him: "Brother, is Ah Lang really dead?"

  A Jian turned around and looked at her: "Xiao Yu, he's dead, really dead."

  "Brother, could it be that curse? Is that curse going to come and kill us again?" Xiaoyu's face was streaming with tears.

  "No, it won't work, isn't there a lawyer around? It'll be fine, Ah Lang is suicidal."

  "No, no, I heard what you said earlier. They said Ah Lang was murdered." Xiaoyu was a bit hysterical. "Brother, let's leave this place! I don't want to stay here anymore."

  A Jian hugged Xiao Yu, stroking her hair and said: "We can't leave, have you forgotten the consequences of leaving five years ago? Moreover, we still need to take care of mom, she..." A Jian didn't finish his sentence because he saw his mother, who was sometimes normal and sometimes crazy, having another episode.

  "Mom—"

  He pushed aside the little jade in his arms and rushed towards his mother who was constantly pouring water on herself outside the door.

  A Jian's mother went mad after his father died five years ago. She often sat alone in the yard, muttering to herself, occasionally suddenly shouting loudly and then pouring water on herself.

  At this time, she went crazy again, carrying a bucket of water and pouring it from her head down. Ah Jian, who had already run out, still didn't come to stop her in time.

  She stared at her son with a silly smile on her face, laughing and saying "The fire is out, I won't be burned to death."

  Xiao Yu walked out and looked at her saying: "It's been a long time since she was like this, how did it start again in the past two days?"

  A Jian shook his head and said, "Take Mom to change her clothes!"

  And this scene just happened to be seen by Su Jin'er and others.

  "That woman looks so familiar!" Su Jiner said with a frown.

  "It's really familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before!" Chu Feifan said.

  Zuo Yi also nodded, but Ge Yaze had a puzzled expression.

  "I remember now." Lin Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Isn't she the woman who burned paper during our military training?"

  Thanks to Lin Yuan's reminder, they all remembered that the crazy woman was the one they met on the mountain who told them to leave quickly, or else they would be cursed.

  "It turns out she's from this village, no wonder she appeared in the mountains." Zuo Yi said with a tilted head.

  "What kind of curse would that be?" Su Jiner said softly.

  "We also want to know." Zuo Yi looked at Chu Fei Fan with a smile and said.

  Chu Fei Fan furrowed his brow, and with a tap of his heel, he could almost guess what they were thinking, but he was also very curious.

  "Okay! I'll go ask, hopefully she will tell me!"

  Xie Yi couldn't help but laugh at his helpless look: "Brother, I know you're in a difficult situation, but after all, you are someone's husband! Make good use of it!"

  He patted Chu Fei Fan's shoulder and then walked towards their hut.

  Ge Ya Ze didn't know what he was thinking about, he hadn't spoken a word, perhaps it was because he had come here to help them but couldn't do anything and felt guilty. He also patted Chu Fei Fan's shoulder.

  Lin Yuan walked over, looked at him and said: "Brother, although we want to help, who made them not look up to us? So you just suffer a little! However, you're not losing out either, after all, she's a beauty!"

  She also patted his shoulder like Zuo Yi and Ge Yaze, and left.

  Only Su Jin'er and Chu Fei Fan remained standing in their original positions. Su Jin'er blinked her eyes, knowing what Chu Fei Fan was thinking. However, things had already been settled, and she couldn't do anything about it now. Although she too felt sad, catching the murderer was more important than this. After all, she really didn't want to see anyone else get killed.

  "Jin'er, I..."

  "I already know, but still trouble you, just go ask her! She should tell you."

  Su Jin'er also walked into the house, Chu Fei Fan helplessly looked at her, suddenly he chased after her and said: "That's not urgent, I still have some ideas that haven't been said yet!"

  Then he quickened his pace and caught up with the people in front of him, intentionally leaving Su Jin'er behind.

  Several people sat around the table, just about to speak, when A Lian suddenly ran over.

  "Fei Fan, breakfast is ready, everyone go eat!" she said with a smile, not showing any anger at all about Chu Fei Fan not coming back last night.

  Su Jiner looked at her watch and said, "It's already eight o'clock, so fast!"

  "By the way, have you all found your phones? Yesterday I came to deliver your phones, but none of you were here, so I left them under your pillows." Ah Lian said with a smile.

  "What? You returned the cell phone?" Several people said at the same time, and it was unprecedented that five people said the same thing!

  Arian was startled by their reaction and looked at them timidly, saying: "Yes! Is... there a problem?"

  Several people also found themselves overreacting, coughing lightly and covering up their embarrassment, but at the same time bursting out laughing. Su Jiner said with embarrassment: "It's okay, it's okay, let's go eat!"

  A Lian smiled and naturally took Chu Fei Fan's arm and walked out.

  Lin Yuan looked at Su Jiner and found her smiling, although her smile was a bit stiff.

  "Come on! I didn't even realize I was hungry until you mentioned eating. And I'm so sleepy, I didn't sleep at all last night, now I feel really tired!"

  Lin Yuan just finished speaking, and both Zuo Yi and Ge Yaze started yawning.

  Su Jiner looked at the bloodshot eyes of them and said: "Then let's hurry up and eat, then come back to sleep."

  She was actually very tired, recently she had hardly slept at all. In this strange place, she always felt fearful, especially that monk, thinking of the monk made her feel terrified.

  But what she absolutely didn't expect was that she would end up sitting down to eat with that person who made her skin crawl.

  When they arrived at Alan's house, the strange magician was already sitting in front of the table. He still wore that ferocious and terrifying mask, sitting properly in front of the table. When he saw them coming in, his eyes were fixed on Su Jin'er.

  This made Su Jiner feel like she had been stripped naked and was standing in front of everyone, making her dinner particularly awkward.

  Just as she finished her meal and was about to leave, she suddenly realized that the wizard was no longer looking at her, but instead, she began to look at the wizard.

  The Taoist seemed to notice her gaze, raised his head and met her eyes. When Su Jin'er saw his eyes, she suddenly smiled, because she discovered something.

  Lin Yuan looked at the Taoist priest, then at Su Jin'er. She was startled and thought to herself: "She won't be possessed by an evil spirit, will she?!" She was actually smiling at that terrifying Taoist priest! Lin Yuan poked her with his hand.

  "Oh! I've finished eating, I'll go first." Su Jiner smiled and stood up.

  Lin Yuan also stood up: "I'm done eating too."

  She followed Su Jiner and ran out.

  "Jin'er, are you sick or have you been scared silly? You're actually smiling at him. That terrifying person, just looking at him makes me think of that night when he was holding a heart."

  Lin Yuan made a vomiting face.

  "I'm not sick and I wasn't scared silly, but I just discovered something that might be very helpful for us!"

  Lin Yuan was also picked up with interest and asked: "What did you find?"

  "I won't tell you for now, maybe someone else will find out later." Su Jiner said mysteriously.

  That Taoist priest was too careless, perhaps because he thought he was smart enough! Su Jin'er thought to herself, but why did he disguise himself as a Taoist priest and hide here? Could it be that he's a murderer trying to evade the police? But even if that were the case, there's no need to disguise himself as a Taoist priest. Disguising oneself as a Taoist priest while openly committing murder would only draw more attention! However, regardless of whether or not he was a murderer on the run, he has now killed someone and become a murderer. If he kills one person per year, in five years he'll have killed five people - no matter what the reason, wouldn't that be enough to warrant a death sentence?!
