Chapter 83 Falling off a cliff will never die
Those women who like to spread gossip made a connection between Cao Ruyi's words before his death about turning into a ghost to take revenge, Cao Ruyi and Cao Hong's death on the same day, and premature birth.
So the inference came out: Cao Hong is the reincarnation of Cao Ruyi.
Cao Ruyi wanted revenge, but instead of turning into a ghost directly, she targeted the child in her sister-in-law's belly. The soul entered the mother's belly, was born one month early, and was reincarnated as her own niece.
The rumor can be summed up in one sentence: Cao Ruyi was reborn just after his death.
This rumor escalated again when Cao Hong turned three years old.
Cao Hong is different from other children. Even at the age of three, Cao Hong still can't speak, and she doesn't seem to understand. She has sinister eyes, can't smile, and can only yell and scream when she's anxious.
The doctor said that Cao Hong was a demented child.
The famous goddess He Xiangu in Suzhou directly confirmed the rumors in the market, saying that Cao Hong was the reincarnation of Cao Ruyi.
He Xiangu said: Cao Ruyi had great resentment before she died. She will indeed turn into an evil ghost after her death, but there are rules in the underworld. She can't stay if she wants to, nor can she leave if she wants to be free.
Ruyi still has to follow the rules of the underworld and reincarnate.
But Cao Ruyi was so resentful that she forcibly replaced the souls in line in front of her and insisted on being reincarnated into Cao's family. Moreover, she didn't know what means she used, and she didn't drink Meng Po soup, or in other words, she didn't drink enough.
Cao Hong's sinister eyes come from Cao Ruyi's soul.
It's not that Cao Hong can't speak, it's because once she speaks, it's Cao Ruyi's voice and intonation.
Because she didn't drink enough Meng Po Soup, Cao Hong was slowly remembering all the things in her past life. If she could feel the love of her relatives before that, she would be able to resolve her resentment. Once the resentment is eliminated, all the memories of her past life will gradually disappear.
Cao Hong can then become the real Cao Hong, not Cao Ruyi. Cao Ruyi's soul can also rest in peace.
But if during these critical years, Cao Hong is not influenced by her family and is still immersed in hatred, or even someone intensifies and encourages her hatred, then Cao Hong will completely become a reincarnated devil boy and become Cao Ruyi
, murderous revenge.
Yu Qingfeng raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. This goddess He Xiangu is definitely not simple. She needs to pay a good visit to her.
However, things went wrong and He Xiangu's so-called influence failed. Just four months ago, He Xiangu's story about the reincarnated devil boy's murderous revenge came true.
The crime occurred in the evening. According to Zhai Xianglian's confession, she was boiling bath water for her father-in-law Cao Dayong.
While she was boiling water, she heard Cao Dayong chasing Cao Hong with a feather duster and beating her again.
Zhai Xianglian immediately went to plead for her daughter. She always did this, kneeling down to plead for mercy, and confessing her mistake to the father-in-law on behalf of Cao Hong, who could not speak.
If Cao Dayong is in a good mood and drinks less, it will be fine so far. If Cao Dayong is in a bad mood or drinks too much, then Zhai Xianglian will have to protect Cao Hong with her body and let Cao Dayong hit her.
That night, Cao Dayong lost money in gambling, drank alcohol, and beat him particularly hard.
Because the beating was too severe and lasted for too long, Zhai Xianglian couldn't help but pick up Cao Hong and run away. As a result, she was kicked to the ground again by Cao Dayong before she even ran a few steps to the kitchen where the bath water was boiling.
Cao Dayong saw that the usually docile sheep, large and small, dared to run away, so he picked up the stove hook on the ground and raised his hand to hit it.
Zhai Xianglian knew that if he hit the furnace hook, someone would be killed, so he resisted with all his strength and pushed Cao Dayong away.
Cao Dayong was drunk and unsteady on his feet. When he was swaying left and right, he tripped over something and fell backwards. He subconsciously reached out to hold the stove, but he was not sure and stretched out his arm directly.
Get into the pot of bath water that will be boiling soon.
After a scream, Cao Dayong looked at his blistering arm, and he felt evil. He cursed and picked up the stove hook again, and came towards Zhai Xianglian and his daughter, saying that he would throw them into the pot and cook them.
.
This time Zhai Xianglian was sure that Cao Dayong would kill them both. So she picked up Cao Hong and ran away, planning to run out of Suzhou in one breath and leave this place that could not be called home forever.
After running two blocks away with the child in her arms, Zhai Xianglian met a couple selling steamed buns at the market. In the past, when Zhai Xianglian went to deliver lunch to the tofu seller's father-in-law and her husband, she met the steamed buns couple, and their relationship was pretty good.
When the Baozi couple saw that Zhai Xianglian and Cao Hong were all injured, they immediately understood and took in their mother and daughter. They said that after Cao Dayong stopped looking for people in the city, the couple would find a way to secretly send away their mother and daughter.
While Baozi and his wife were talking to Zhai Xianglian in the room, they only heard the sound of things breaking from the kitchen. The three of them rushed over to take a look and found that almost all the porcelain that could be broken in the kitchen had been broken.
Zhai Xianglian looked at the mess on the ground, her legs softened, and she knelt on the ground.
Baozi and his wife were also angry. They were obviously out of kindness and doing good deeds, so why did they end up with such losses? Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity? Regardless of whether Cao Hong is Cao Ruyi or not, she can't be so unreasonable, right?
Before Baozi and his wife could say anything, Zhai Xianglian was so angry that she grabbed Cao Hong and spanked her.
Cao Hong suddenly broke away from her mother's arms, grabbed a fragment of a porcelain bowl on the ground, and held it up to Zhai Xianglian's eyes.
Zhai Xianglian, Baozi and his wife were all shocked. Baozi and his wife were so frightened that they stepped back.
Because at that time, Cao Hong's eyes were extremely sinister and fierce, with a cold light that made people dare not look into her eyes.
According to the original words of Baozi and his wife, Cao Hong was as if possessed by a ghost and could definitely be called a "devil boy".
The three adults were all too frightened to say a word. They could only look at the six-year-old girl in front of them tremblingly, waiting for her next move.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Hong's arm suddenly waved vigorously, drawing an arc in the air.
Then, she looked at the fragments of the porcelain bowl in her hand and smiled, her smile still weird and terrifying.
The Baozi couple were so frightened that they left on the spot. They did not dare to take in the mother and daughter anymore, but they also did not dare to go back on their word and say they would no longer take them in. They could only go back to their own room and let Zhai Xianglian do what she wanted.
Zhai Xianglian and Cao Hong stayed at the Baozi couple's house for one night. Early in the morning, Zhai Xianglian did not wait for Cao Dayong or Cao Fengnian to come to the door, and there was no need to run away with her daughter, because she directly waited for the news of Cao Dayong's death.
Shortly after Cao Dayong and her daughter Zhai Xianglian escaped last night, someone cut their throats with pieces of a porcelain altar and died.
Because this case involved rumors of a reincarnated demon boy, the prefect Hong Zengxian directly assigned his close confidant Master Jiang to take charge personally.
Jiang Xusheng investigated the scene with the arrester and interviewed the witnesses of the reporter.
The scene of the crime was the Cao family's kitchen, and the murder weapon was a fragment of the porcelain altar in the Cao family's kitchen. The witnesses were Cao Dayong's eldest son Cao Fengnian, who was not at the scene at the time of the crime, but stayed at the door of the Cao family's courtyard, and Cao's neighbor Aunt Huang.
.
The people who reported the matter to the police were Cao Fengnian and Aunt Huang who discovered the body immediately.
Cao Fengnian went to attend the wedding of a childhood friend that night and came home very late. Before he even reached the door of the house, he heard Cao Dayong cursing.
Aunt Huang, the neighbor, was standing at the gate of the courtyard at that time and kindly warned Cao Fengnian. Cao Dayong was in a bad mood and beat Zhai Xianglian and Cao Hong away, asking Cao Fengnian to appease his father and go out to find his wife and children.
After Cao Fengnian entered the house, he saw Cao Dayong who didn't know how to deal with the burn.
Cao Dayong was filthy and kept shouting that he wanted to kill Zhai Xianglian and his daughter. In addition, he was in severe pain from the burns and was yelling.
Cao Fengnian was inexperienced and didn't know how to help Cao Dayong relieve the pain, and there was no medicine at home. So he thought of Aunt Huang next door and hurried out to find Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang was also a spectator. When she heard Cao Fengnian asking her to borrow some burn ointment at the door of her house, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She didn't have any burn ointment at home, so she shouted to Uncle Huang at home and asked him if he knew how to deal with it.
scald.
Uncle Huang is smoking a pipe, so he has no time to care about this.
When the two of them were discussing which drugstore was still open at such a late hour, they heard Cao Dayong's chattering from the Cao family's side suddenly stopped.
The two were curious and went to check it out together.
In the kitchen, Cao Dayong was lying on the floor, with a big hole in his throat and blood gurgling out.
On the ground were broken pieces of the porcelain altar, most of which were soaked in blood.
The Cao family courtyard has a front door and a back door. There are Cao Fengnian and Aunt Huang at the front door, which shows that the murderer must have entered and exited through the back door.
The question is, who is the murderer?
The Baozi couple told Jiang Xusheng about Cao Hong's strange behavior in their home. They didn't know whether the police agent around Jiang Xusheng leaked the news, or the Baozi couple didn't obey Jiang Xusheng's order to keep it secret. Anyway, the rumor of Cao Hong killing people in the air for revenge spread like wildfire.
Walk.
Cao Dayong's case has become an unsolved case.
The government could not conclude the case with Cao Hong, the reincarnated devil boy, murdering people in the air for revenge, so they still claimed that the murderer entered and exited through the back door. As for who the murderer was, it is currently unknown.
After hearing the background and story of Cao Dayong's case, Yu Qingfeng initially formed a reasoning. In order to confirm, she went too far and asked the prefect as a maid.
"Has Cao Ruyi's body been found six years ago?"
Hong Zengxian and Jiang Xusheng were not surprised at all by Yu Qingfeng's transgression. Hong Zengxian replied naturally:
"No, the terrain under the cliff is complicated, and there are wild animals. I sent people to look for it, but it's normal that they couldn't find it. But if you jump from such a height, you will definitely die."
Yu Qingfeng's reasoning was verified.
So you will definitely die if you jump from a high place? In the screenwriter's imagination, you can go to outer space while driving a car. You may not die even if you jump from an airplane. It's just a cliff. What does it mean?
It’s an old cliché in movies and TV shows. If a cannon fodder falls out of bed, he may fall to his death. However, if an important character falls off a cliff and jumps off a cliff, not only will he not die, he may even be able to practice peerless martial arts, meet a peerless master, or else he will be disfigured.
Plastic surgery, changing the appearance, and coming back to stage a series of revenge drama that is more exciting and intensive.
The murderer is Cao Ruyi, who survived the disaster and changed his appearance.
