Chapter 588: The Truth
The story of Jiang Chen saving people soon spread throughout this not-so-large mountain village.
At this time, at Liu Yulong's home, Jiang Chen and Liu Yulong sat opposite each other in the courtyard.
Liu Yulong smiled and said to Jiang Chen, "Xiaochen, you are almost a professional rescuer. I just saved me a few days ago, and today I saved Xiaogang again."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's all a coincidence, it's just a matter of effort."
At this moment, Liu Yulong suddenly said something that surprised Jiang Chen: "Are they talking to you about Xiaoyue?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly.
Liu Yulong said responsibly: "Oh, Xiaoyue's death also has something to do with me, it's me who killed her!"
Speaking of this, the honest middle-aged man suddenly covered his face and sobbed softly. Looking at his constantly shaking shoulders, a trace of complexity appeared on Jiang Chen's face. He wanted to speak several times but stopped.
Jiang Chen could feel the inner pain of this middle-aged man, but he didn't know how he should comfort this middle-aged man who was immersed in grief and self-blame. All he could do at this time was to reach out and pat Liu Yulong's shoulder.
After a while, Liu Yulong gradually stabilized his emotions. He wiped his eyes randomly with his rough hands, looked at Jiang Chen gratefully, and said.
"Xiao Chen, let you see a joke."
"No, I can understand the uncle's mood."
Liu Yulong sighed again, he glanced at the room on the far right side of the earthen house and said quietly.
"Actually, things are not what they said. My daughter is not a good person... She was insulted."
"On the day half a year ago, my family and I were doing farm work in the mountains. During this period, I asked Xiaoyue to go home to get the farm tools, but we waited for a long time but she didn't come back. In the end, I couldn't rest assured and followed her home."
Speaking of this, a trace of pain flashed across Liu Yulong's face, and he continued to say a moment later.
"After I got home, I saw Xiaoyue, who was disheveled - she was insulted.
At that time, I felt like I had lost my soul, but then no matter how I asked, Xiaoyue refused to tell me who the evil man was. We had a big fight over this, but she turned out to be… the next morning.”
"Then have you ever thought about calling the police?" Jiang Chen asked.
Liu Yulong shook his head and replied: "At the beginning, I was worried about Xiaoyue's reputation and did not call the police immediately. In the suicide note left before Xiaoyue committed suicide, I repeatedly told me not to call the police. Although I didn't know why she did this, I did not choose to call the police in the end."
"As for the rumors in the village, it should be that someone heard the argument between Xiaoyue and me on the day of the incident, and then it was spread randomly."
Jiang Chen asked, "What do you think about your daughter's ghost coming back to take revenge?"
"It's so much that my daughter's ghost is back, but I don't think my daughter is coming back to seek revenge on us." Liu Yulong said without doubt.
"I think my daughter should be just having a grudge. If she really wanted to seek revenge for us, she would have taken action long ago. Master Huang will come tomorrow. I just hope he can take action to appease my daughter's wronged soul."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly and asked with the opportunity: "Uncle, how did you know that Feng Shui master?"
"You mean Master Huang?" Liu Yulong rubbed his hands gently and said, "In theory, those masters stayed in big cities. How could I, a poor peasant, know that kind of person."
"But half a year ago, Master Huang suddenly appeared in our small mountain village."
"There is a family in our village named Zhu. Ten years ago, the family moved to another place to work hard. I heard from people in the same village that the family is now developed.
Just last year, the family surnamed Zhu came back, and Master Huang came with him. He was invited by the Zhu family to help relocate the ancestral tomb.
They were all living in the same village. When they learned that the Zhu family was going to move their ancestral tombs, the men, women, and young people in the village went to help. It was at that time that I met Master Huang.
When I was helping with the Zhu family, Master Huang suddenly told me that my family would have a disaster in the near future. He gave me a peace talisman to let me and my family pay more attention to safety in the near future."
While speaking, Liu Yulong took out a small red cloth bag worn around his neck from his clothes. Jiang Chen glanced at the red cloth bag containing the talisman and signaled Liu Yulong to continue speaking.
After seeing Jiang Chen's gesture, Liu Yulong said with a remorse.
"It's all my fault that I didn't listen to Master Huang at that time. I actually asked Xiaoyue to go home by myself that day, so this happened later.
The day when Xiaoyue had an accident was the day after Master Huang warned me that Master Huang and the Zhu family had not left here yet, so I asked Master Huang to find a Fengshui treasure for Xiaoyue and buried it.
It was at that time that I left Master Huang’s contact information. Later, after an abnormal situation occurred at home, I contacted Master Huang as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he couldn’t solve the problem immediately after he came last time.
However, Master Huang told me on the phone this morning that he had invited his senior brother from his fellow disciples, and this time he would definitely solve this problem and let Xiaoyue's soul reincarnate peacefully."
"So that's how it is?" Jiang Chen said softly, then asked again, "Uncle, the Zhu family?"
Liu Yulong has a honest and honest personality. He is not good at disguising his emotions. When he mentioned the Zhu family just now, Jiang Chen found that his emotions were a little abnormal, so he asked this question.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Chen said this, a complicated look appeared on Liu Yulong's face. He was silent for a moment before he said slowly.
"The Zhu family has a son named Zhu Heping. I suspect Xiaoyue was killed by him.
Zhu Heping and Xiaoyue grew up together since childhood. Until ten years ago, he and his family left here and went to a big city to develop, they broke off contact.
This time, Zhu Heping also came back with his family. When we went to Zhu's house to help, he saw Xiaoyue, but that afternoon I found him pestering Xiaoyue.
I originally thought he would leave the village soon, so I didn't care. I didn't expect Xiaoyue to... the next day..."
Speaking of this, this honest man showed an angry look for the first time.
"Xiaoyue is very likely to be harmed by him. Xiaoyue must be afraid that the Zhu family will take revenge on us, so she hides the truth and does not let me call the police."
"If I were to know that this was really what he did, I would never let this beast go!"
"Don't worry, uncle, I believe things will get better." Jiang Chen comforted.
"I hope you said as Xiaochen." Liu Yulong changed his tone and said, "Xiaochen, we may have to go out in the afternoon. You can stay at home first."
"You're going out?"
"Well, today our family is going to burn paper for Xiaoyue."
"Oh?! Then I'll go with you too."
