Otherworldly Merchant

The pond was pitch-black and bright, laying on the village like an irregular piece of ink.

“The pond wasn't that deep, but the mud was thick, and when I was little, a big cow fell in and didn't come out. People in this pond village don't dare come near, even cats and dogs don't walk from the side, how can Chrysanthemum end up here?” He Ann asked very strangely.

“Something's wrong!” I swept around and said, “You see, behind the pond is a flat ground, on the left and right are deep earth pits, but how is it as if it were set here, not spilling at all? Even the surrounding soil is dry, with no water damage and no grass! ”

“This is what I've been doing since I remembered.” He An explained: “No matter how much rain it rains, this pond will not rise, nor will there be many dry heavenly ponds. ”

I nodded: “The pubic air in the pond is even more powerful than some of the graves of thousands of years, there must be something very strange here! Who else in your village comes here often? ”

“It's so far from the village, and it's dark and smelly, who's gonna be okay... hey, right!” He An suddenly shouted: “Uncle Qin, the biological father of Xiao Ju. He often sits here drinking, but he was shot many years ago for murder, and nobody came here but him. ”

This is where Chrysanthemum happened, and the only person who used to come here was her dead biological father.

It's not that simple to combine these two things!

Ho Ann seemed to have something in mind, pushing her glasses up: “You mean, most likely the curse his biological father put on her before he died? ”

“There is such a possibility, but it is unlikely, after all, that his own daughter, even if he is a heinous murderer, is likely to set up such a poisonous long-term plot to frame his own daughter. There's a good chance it was someone who had nothing to do with him. Who did he kill?” I asked.

“A ranger. I was young at the time, and I didn't know exactly what was going on. My father never told me about it, nor did anyone in the village.” He Ann thought about it.

It appears that this matter also involves an old case.

“Was there anyone else left at the victim's house?” I went on to ask.

“No, the ranger moved temporarily to the village, heard that he was an orphan, that his parents were long dead and that he had no brothers or sisters. Besides, even if he really had no family, there was no vengeance. Uncle Qin has already been shot. Xiao Ju was only six years old. Besides, this matter has been going on for so many years, it doesn't look like it was caused by this old case. ”

He An analyzed it and concluded: "Is it possible that the black water pond has been out of light for many years, and what ghosts have been bred? Kikuchi just happened to pass by and contaminated with something dirty? ”

“Definitely not.” I shook my head: "The fire snake trick is not something dirty, but a real evil trick, that is, she must have been murdered. Looks like you really want to solve the mystery of Ho's family from this old case...”

I pulled out my phone, turned on the flash, and took a closer look at it by the black pond.

The grass at the edge of the pond did not grow, and there was no sign of animal claws. Apart from the gloomy air everywhere, there was nothing special to discover. I had to go back anywhere.

He's still standing in front of the chrysanthemum bed.

Chrysanthemum was sleeping softly, but her eyebrows were still tight and wrinkled, as if she had seen something terrible in her sleep.

I asked Mommy He to cook her a bowl of ginger soup, add more salt and garlic, and wait for her to wake up to drink it. Then he called his father into another room and asked him about Blackwater Pond and Kikuchi's father!

Pa He was reluctant to mention this story at first, but he sighed a long time after listening to me, most likely related to the murderer behind the murder of Chrysanthemum, and even to which god of protection.

Old Qin's character was truthful, and he refused to say anything to people.

But his wife, the mother of chrysanthemum, was so spicy that she scolded him all day saying that he was incapable of making money.

Old Qin was forced to do nothing. He had to go out and work with the villagers.

When he came back at the end of the year, he found his wife and ranger in love.

Old Qin's heart was very bored, but such a scandal could not be said. He had to borrow wine to quench his grief. He sat beside the black pond every day and sighed briefly.

Finally, one day, Lao Qin blocked the two people who were haunting each other, and then chopped the rangers alive with several axes in a row.

Old Qin didn't run at the time, so he sat quite straight and drank in his blood...

“The impact of that incident was terrible, but Chrysanthemum was innocent. I think the child is so pathetic, so I adopted her and told the townsfolks not to mention it again. After so many years of shaking...”

“What about Daisy's mother?” I intervened.

“Old Qin didn't hurt her on the day of the murder, he probably also wanted to keep her to raise Chrysanthemum! Someone saw her bearded and ran away, and then disappeared. No one's ever seen it again.” Daddy He sighed and woke up from his past memories and looked at me. “Does this have anything to do with Chrysanthemum's illness? ”

“Relevant!” I'm pretty sure: “The problem is in the black pond! ”

“As I've just checked, there's a lot of pubic energy and it's the coldest part of the village. The fire snake trick in the chrysanthemum is an extremely shady trick, and only such a place can hide such a shady antidote. And, as you said earlier, I had a guess —— Mother Chrysanthemum was definitely not out of the village, but jumped into the black pool. ”

“Jumped into the Black Water Pond?” Daddy He was also stunned, and said: “We had this kind of speculation, we even went to salvage it, but we didn't find anything. Besides, Chrysanthemum is also her own daughter, why should she harm her own daughter? ”

“Uncle He, Blackwater Pond has become a hiding place for Scanner ghosts. In any case, we can't let it go. Let's take this opportunity to clean it up completely. Otherwise, it would endanger the villagers! The trick this time is Chrysanthemum, thanks to the protection of his family, but the other villagers may not be so lucky!” I persuade.

Daddy He nodded: “We've always thought that the water pond was strange, but there was no good way. If you really had an idea, I'll talk to everyone tomorrow. ”
