Chapter 38
Tragic
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Brother, I’m sorry. You know Lady Zhu. Her only concern right now is her daughter. I’m sorry.”
Everyone thought the old lady must have gotten Alzheimer’s. They had already searched this house once back then, and now, she wanted to do it again.
Everyone immediately got ready to smash the table with the stone hammers they prepared.
“Move aside, move aside. Brother, I’m so sorry. The old lady is too poor. Ah.” The man instantly raised the stone hammer and smashed the closest stone chair.
Gravel flew everywhere. Everyone quickly stepped back.
Only Jiang Huailu was holding the old lady’s arm, standing in the front.
The man, who had been lowering his head and remaining silent, glanced at Lady Zhu with a gloomy look and stared at Jiang Huailu. Jiang Huaian seemed to have sensed it and he quickly stood in front of his sister.
The man narrowed his eyes, then turned around and climbed up the wall.
“He ran away!” Xiao Huailu shouted. That man turned around and glared at her fiercely, then jumped off the wall.
That didn’t look like an expression an upright man would have.
He ran into the forest in a flash and disappeared.
“Oh no, he’s running away. Quick, take all the men and go after him!” If he wasn’t guilty, why would he run? Some strong men immediately chased after him.
“Oh my God! There’s something in the stone table! There’s something!” The scene was chaotic. A few women saw something wrong in that stone table after they smashed it.
They instantly went forward to move the gravels away and took a look carefully.
After a glance, they all gasped in an instant.
“Ah…”
Lady Niu’s eyes popped out and she stepped back in fear.
She turned around and threw up.
Her face was covered with snot and tears, and she pointed at the stone table with a frightened look. “What is that? What’s that thing? Why does it look exactly like a human hand?”
In a blink, everyone was terrified.
The old lady burst into tears as she yelled. She got rid of Jiang Huailu’s hands and stumbled to the stone table.
As the old lady moved away the rocks, bloody tears dropped from her cloudy eyes.
“That’s my child. That’s my child. There’s a mole on her wrist. There’s a mole. I’m so sorry. I’ve come here many times. You’ve always been in front of me, but I’ve never lowered my head and looked at you.” The old lady coughed as she cried bloody tears.
This scene was as tragic as hell and many people felt discomfort in their minds.
“He… He buried his pregnant wife into the stone table!”
“This sick psycho. Report to the government now. Report to the government now. We can’t keep this bastard alive!” Everyone was scared and furious at the same time. They immediately asked three people to report this to the government. After seeing this, nobody dared to be alone anymore.
The government quickly sent someone here.
Most people in Desolate City were exiles and they faced the danger of ghosts, so the government was extremely strict and even the patrolling soldiers had seen blood.
The one who led the soldiers here was Brother Wang, who helped the Jiang family settle in.
Brother Wang also knew the old lady. The old lady cooked really well and the nobles in the inner city liked her food very much.
While she looked for her daughter all these years, she had had quite a lot of contact with Brother Wang.
“Lin Wuzuo, please go and have a look.” Brother Wang nodded. A skinny man carrying a wooden box on his back walked out from behind him.
“Search the mountain. You must bring that man back!”
This small yard was flooded with people, but it was terrifyingly quiet.
Xiao Huailu leaned in her brother’s arms quietly as her glittering, jade-like eyes looked at the woman next to the stone table.
The woman was slim. She stood in front of Lady Zhu and her belly was bulging.
When she saw Lady Zhu cry, she also became sorrowful.
