Chapter 39
Buried Alive
Perhaps Xiao Huailu was gazing too intensely, the woman noticed her when she turned around.
She came over to Xiao Huailu in a blink of an eye.
She was in a white gown that was covered with spots of red bloodstains. The woman bowed slightly to reach the level of Xiao Huailu’s eyes.
“You can see me?”
Xiao Huailu smiled so brightly her eyes narrowed and she nodded slightly with her small head.
Meanwhile, Wuzuo had already moved the stones aside and tried his best to put the body together.
Although everyone had seen many tragic things in Desolate City, they still felt sad and angry right now.
The man beheaded his pregnant wife and buried her into the stone table.
“He… He even eats every day on this stone table! I saw him sitting next to the table every day I went past the door after chopping wood.” What the woodsman said gave everyone chills.
As he spoke, the soldiers, who went into the forest to search for the man, returned.
“We got him. The kid already planned for his escape. He must have thought nobody would know about this after the old lady dies. What a shame…” That soldier spat on the man and stomped on his legs.
The man then sat on the ground.
“Mother, mother, please forgive me. Please forgive me. It was an accident. I didn’t mean it. Mother!” The man knelt on the ground with wounds all over his face.
It looked like he had already been beaten for a while.
“I didn’t do it on purpose, mother. I really didn’t do it on purpose.” The man knelt and crawled forward.
Xiao Huailu felt that the emotion of the woman in front of her suddenly changed.
“He killed me. He killed me! He was preying on my mother’s money and her cooking. He was destitute back then, but I never doubted him. He hit my head with a chair!” The woman’s sorrowful cry made it colder in the surrounding area.
Xiao Huailu pondered.
“Her skull also shattered. How poor!” Xiao Huailu knelt and picked up a stone. She patted it gently to reveal the skull.
Jiang Huaian swore that his hair was all standing on end at this moment.
His cute little sister opened someone’s skull!
Wuzuo’s face immediately darkened. He went forward and picked up the skull to have a closer look. “The wound was indeed caused when she was alive.”
The old lady held the stone dumbfoundedly, as if her energy was sucked away all at once.
“When have I done something bad to you? How can you be so vicious? You said you didn’t have money and wasn’t capable of making her happy, so I bought you this house and didn’t tell anyone about it to protect your dignity. I’ve never talked about money in front of you. When you came home with her, I always treated you with a feast. I only wanted you to treat my daughter better,” the old lady shouted as loud as she could.
“You’re just pretending to be kind. Who needs your fake kindness? I asked you to teach my mother, my sister and I how to cook, but you refused. You’ve done a little favor for me but you thought you put in a lot of effort! Everyone said I’m the live-in son-in-law of the Zhu family. Bah! Live-in son-in-law! You old woman, you always say that you’ll give me your family property when you die. If your daughter was alive, would you still pass it down to me?” the man shouted with viciousness on his face. Brother Wang immediately kicked him onto the ground with his foot.
“You bastard.” Brother Wang spat in his face.
Wuzuo was kneeling on the ground, but now, he also stood up with a terrible expression on his face.
“Tell me, did you kill her before burying her inside?”
The man’s face turned dark.
“I had a fight with her that day. I only beat her to death accidentally.” He had thought about killing her, but she was pregnant with his child. He was thinking of waiting for the baby to arrive first before doing it.
He had never thought…
Wuzuo sighed gently and shook his head.
