These four words jumped out accurately in my mind, because only these four words can explain the environment we are in now.
The eyes were full of corpses, bloodstains and internal organs flying everywhere.
The once clean and tidy dining room, which was the place I visited most often, is now beyond recognition. The tables and chairs are crooked, the flower pots are broken, and the bodies of many servants of the Jian family are lying around.
They all had wide eyes, some were still holding their necks with their hands, some were covering their disemboweled bellies, and some had already stiffened their bodies, with their hands still pushing something away.
The only thing they have in common is that they are already dead, their faces are filled with the horror of seeing a terrible scene, and the helplessness of watching their lives go by.
Most of the lanterns that were hanging in strings on the road inside the house have fallen down. The candles inside ignited the lantern paper, and the flames licked anything around that could burn.
Window curtains, tablecloths...even the clothes and flesh on the corpse.
The disgusting smell of roasted meat and the smelly gas kept pouring into our noses, making me retching.
Lang Hongyi handed me his handkerchief and put it around my mouth and nose to make it feel better. Although this avoided the destruction of my sense of smell, the destruction of my vision continued.
Some of the corpses around him had been burned into charcoal, their faces unrecognizable, and some were covered in blood and disfigured.
Among them, there was one person who left a deep impression on me, the old woman in the kitchen with a sinewy face and a round waist.
Later, I also heard that the reason why this woman was so domineering was because she seemed to be somewhat distantly related to the eldest lady, and she was regarded as a confidant of the eldest lady.
When it came to abusing Hongying, he not only followed through with his own actions, but also came up with ideas. It was really not a good thing.
But now when I see her in the kitchen, I still can't help but turn my head and take a closer look.
She was lying on the edge of the pot, the fire was still burning in the furnace, and her lower body was almost turned into charcoal.
I have no doubt that with just the slightest touch, her lower body that was burned by fire would be shattered into pieces.
And she was lying on the stove next to the big pot, with the lid open, her head stretched out with great effort, and her neck had already exceeded the limit of normal human length.
The tongue in his mouth fell to the side, his mouth was full of blood, and only two small spoons with their handles exposed were left in the eye sockets.
It was a delicate little silver spoon used by ladies to eat bird's nests. It made me feel sick to my stomach.
The elbows of both hands were poked into the boiling cauldron. The soup had been boiled to a thick consistency, and white broth gurgled out.
It was such a horrific scene that brought an end to the life of this evil-doing woman.
Lang Hongyi saw that my expression was not very good, so he took me outside directly, "What? Are you not used to seeing this?"
He is worried because we have not seen any of the masters of the Jian family until now. There is already such a scene around us. We don’t know what will happen to those sinful people. He is afraid that I will really face it.
I won’t be able to bear it!
I shook my head and tried to forget everything I had seen in my mind. I coughed and stood up straight, "It's okay, I just feel a little housebroken for a moment..."
The sky is dark with no clouds or moon, the courtyard is silent, and no birdsong is heard...
The light was not dark, and the burning things around gave us a sufficient light source. The only thing that was not ideal was that this light source had a layer of red light and flickered erratically.
As a result, the surrounding hell scene added a layer of bloody atmosphere out of thin air.
When we walked to the first-floor courtyard at the back, we were almost used to the strange corpses that appeared from time to time, as well as the bloody smell mixed with various smells in the air...
The origin of all evil, the silly young master's yard is very close at hand. Before we even walked in, we had already suffered a lot of visual damage...
We knew in our hearts that these people deserved to die and were worse than animals, but when we really saw them, we still had mixed feelings in our hearts.
Do you remember the sweet-scented osmanthus tree facing the courtyard gate where I used to hide...
There are clusters of green leaves and clusters of blooming golden flowers on the tree, and the fragrance spreads far away, but the osmanthus tree in front of you is definitely a nightmare in life.
"This meeting really proves what I said unintentionally..."
I avoided looking away and couldn't help but grab Lang Hongyi's arm, trying to ease the fear rising in my heart.
Lang Hongyi looked at me a little puzzled, as if he was asking me what I said unintentionally.
I suppressed the nauseous feeling in my heart and said something I said before from this position.
I have seen the existence of this sweet-scented osmanthus tree from Feng Shui.
There is an old saying among the people: In front of the door of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, a noble person stands inside the door.
What I mean is that the most suitable location for plants like Osmanthus fragrans is to be planted outside the gate, and it is not suitable to be planted at home.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of me has a large crown, numerous flowers, and a strong fragrance, but it happened to be planted in front of the eldest young master’s yard.
If the silly young master's courtyard was an independent small home, there would be nothing wrong with its location, but this is a small courtyard within the Jian family's large residence!
It is said that the scent of osmanthus will attract evil little ghosts. Osmanthus has a homophonic sound with the word "ghost", and it is also said to mean "noble son".
So when this tree appears here, it just keeps the little ghosts guarding the door, and it turns into luring the ghosts into the house.
And the reason why I feel so sad to see this sweet-scented osmanthus tree now is because the bodies of Mr. Jian and his five wives are hanging on the tree.
If they were simply hung, I wouldn't be nauseated, but they were all disemboweled, with all their internal organs removed, and their limbs were spread wide and supported by wooden sticks.
With eyes wide open and a look of pain on his face, he was hanging on a branch like a dried chicken and duck in the south.
Let’s just say that whoever sees such a scene can bear it without feeling sick to his stomach.
The blood on their bodies was still dripping, and the bright red blood appeared on the golden osmanthus flowers.
The whole bunch of small flowers turned into an uneven mixture of yellow and red. As soon as the wind passed...
The sweet smell of osmanthus is mixed with the overwhelming smell of blood. Even if I cover my face with a handkerchief, this smell still goes straight into my nose and lingers!
"They haven't been dead for long. Let's go into the courtyard and take a look. Maybe we can find the culprit."
Lang Hongyi and I both pulled out our weapons immediately.
A dagger has a universe within it. Now, no matter whether it is a ghost, evil spirit, or a crazy criminal who dares to attack, we will not get any advantage in our hands.
When we walked into the small courtyard, we immediately saw a large amount of horrifying bloodstains on the ground on the fence of the courtyard, and scattered internal organs and tissues randomly discarded among them.
Apparently the people in the trees outside were killed here.
It's just that this is the scene in the yard, but the door of the house is tightly closed, and the sound of chirping can still be heard from inside.
We approached the door slowly, for fear of disturbing the strange presence inside. When we took the last step to reach the door, the two of them called out and kicked out together.
Two doors opened in front of us!
"Two bangs" also caused the movement in the room to stop for a moment!
