Best Son-in-law

Huang's mother told her what happened in the past few years as if telling a story. Li Fan didn't think her words were false, and following the clues, he also clarified some ideas.

"Are you saying that the cause of Huang Sheng's death is related to the group of people from outside? Or is it related to the incident in Back Mountain?"

"I don't dare to say this. I'm just telling you everything that happened before. The group of people from outside are all people with extraordinary backgrounds. They have status and status. It's very suspicious that they came to our village specifically to look for things. So it was not that no one suspected them at the time, but something happened that was so strange that everyone had to reconsider their thinking." Huang Mu said slowly, as if recalling a long-ago memory.

"What's the matter?" Li Fan asked.

"People are dying in the village, and they are dying one after another. The first one to die is Jiao Dazhuang of the Jiao family. As you know, it is the uncle Dazhuang you often called behind when you were a child. He was killed with a knife. Everyone They all suspected that it was the group of people outside who did it, and they wanted to find out those people and bring them to justice, but they found that someone among the group of people was also dead, and the dead one was the leader, his name was He Yang, that was him. , was also killed with a knife."

"When everyone saw that they were dead, they suspected that there might be some treasure in the back mountain. They were killing each other, and they still doubted them. But the police came, and after a few days they tracked down the culprit. This culprit is Jiao Dazhuang's cousin, Jiao Hu. This Jiao Hu has never been to the back mountain. How could he kill someone? Moreover, he has a very good relationship with his cousin Jiao Dazhuang. He has no motive. This seems very strange. . After Jiao Hu was captured, he didn’t say a word, as if he was being stimulated, and he died in the end.”

"Because Jiao Hu had seen a doctor at your grandfather's place not long ago. At that time, some people suspected that it was your grandfather who instigated it. But soon, people died again in the village. Those who had entered the village died one after another. At this time, again There are no clues to call the police. I also heard that the deceased had two tooth marks on his neck and two five-claw paw prints on his body. They were clearly visible. I have also seen a person die. What's going on with your belly?"

"And when these people died, they had a black pattern on their backs, like some kind of flower. In this way, everyone speculated that they entered the back mountain and provoked the beings in the back mountain who should not be provoked. That is, the snake god in the back mountain, everyone says that the snake god has become a spirit. After practicing for so many years, he has now become a five-clawed golden dragon."

"Some people say they are cursed, and this is the curse they carry on their backs."

"Because many cases at that time were unsolved, and the deaths were very strange. There was no one in the same room. Suddenly, I saw a long shadow outside the window. After a while, the person fell down and was gone. The case was gone. It was impossible to find out at all. At that time, everyone was panicked and everyone who had entered the back mountain would die. The only people in our village who died were your grandfather and Huang Sheng. The group of people from outside also died a lot, leaving only Several people, and finally this group of people left Laoshantun, and their lives and deaths are still unknown."

"Later, one of these people came to our village and said he wanted to find Huang Sheng. In the end, Huang Sheng never came back alive." Huang's mother said with sadness on her face when she mentioned this.

"It's doomed, it's all doomed. Everyone who has entered the back mountain will die. They have met people they shouldn't have met, and these people have not mentioned a word about what happened in the back mountain. You said this is not a snake. God's curse, what else could it be?" Mother Huang looked at Li Fan and said, her face now full of fear.

"Back Mountain is not that evil. I have been there thousands of times and nothing happened. You said there is a snake god curse in Back Mountain. How is that possible? Those people with strong backgrounds you mentioned are not the ones in the legend. The snake god?" Li Fan sneered.

"You can believe these words if you believe them, or if you don't believe them, I won't force you to believe anything. But I will only tell you the facts. This fact is that no one from our village who entered the back mountain is alive. Huang Sheng is gone. , your grandfather died later, but your grandfather died of natural causes, that's why it's special. If you want to say that the person who came to Huang Sheng that day might be the murderer, then I have to tell you one thing, this person also died."

"His name is Wang Mao. He is a nice young man. Before he came to Huang Sheng, there was a clear curse mark on his back. Huang Sheng was gone for a few days, and so was he." Huang Mu's eyes were dim. He looked ahead, his face full of sadness.

"Do you want to find out the cause of Huang Sheng's death? I can tell you that I suspect Yang Meilu is the snake god. She killed everyone, including your grandfather." Huang's mother's eyes changed when she looked at Yang Meilu.

Yang Meilu was also shocked after hearing this.

"You can also say this? Are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused? Apart from anything else, if Meilu is a snake god, will she accept your cowardice? Why don't she just transform and slap you all? If you die, you'll be a snake god, don't be ridiculous." Li Fan sneered.

Huang's mother was speechless for a long time after being scolded. After all these words, she shot herself in the foot.

"Anyway, it's just such a thing. If you want to find out, it's absolutely fine. Go to the back mountain to find out, as long as you dare to find out." Huang Mu said.

"Of course I want to find out. Since you want the truth about your son's death to be revealed, and I also want to know the cause of my grandfather's death, and also want to clear up Meilu's grievances, then you have to cooperate with me and leave this matter to me. , you have to tell me the identities and addresses of those people back then, and I will check them one by one slowly." Li Fan said.

"How could I possibly know this? I don't even know why those people came. It happened a long time ago. At that time, everyone was wondering if there was really a snake god in the back mountain. How could anyone remember their address?" Mother Huang He shook his head and said.

"There is a person whose address and contact information you must know. It is Wang Mao who came to look for Huang Sheng at that time. He is the only clue now. You have to tell me, otherwise how can I check? Do you believe the snake god you said?" Li Fan smiled helplessly.

"Everyone is gone. His family definitely doesn't want to mention this matter anymore." Huang's mother said.

"Whether they want to mention it or not, you have to tell me that person's contact information and address." Li Fan said.

Huang's mother hesitated for a while: "Forget it, bring me a pen and paper, I'll give it to you, you can check it yourself."

"Oh, I have paper and pen here." After hearing this, Yang Meilu quickly came over with paper and pen.

Huang's mother wrote Wang Mao's address on it: "I don't know the contact information. Mobile phones were not available at that time."

"Just have an address. Give me some time and I will find out the real culprit who killed your son." Li Fan said solemnly.

"Okay, since you said that, I have nothing to say. In-laws, let's go first." Mother Huang said goodbye to Father Yang and Mother Yang, and got up and went back.

"As long as we find out who did it, you will be the benefactor of our family." Huang's mother said this to Li Fan before leaving.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me." Li Fan said.

"Meilu, aren't you going home with us?" After the Huang family left, Father Yang's heavy voice came out.

"I don't want to go back, I'll live here." Yang Meilu bit her lips tightly and said stubbornly.

With Li Fan here, it's hard for them to have an attack.

"Meilu, you have to think about it for your brother, right? He's such an old man, and it's hard for a blind date to fall in love with him. Just because our family doesn't have enough betrothal gifts, will the marriage be lost? Your brother is already thirty. Too much. You're not even married yet, so why don't you know something about it? Don't be stubborn. The Huang family doesn't think you're a nuisance, and there are people willing to pay a bride price to marry you. This is already a great blessing. What else do you want? What are you doing?" Mother Yang said with a long sigh of relief.

"These things are all good things, your good deeds and your brother's good deeds. I have made an agreement with them before. The gift for you will allow your brother to give gifts to others. It's the best of both worlds." Yang Her mother wanted to persuade Yang Meilu to change her mind.

"What's the best of both worlds? Are you selling your daughter?" Only then did Li Fan understand what was going on.

It turns out that what I saw was just the surface, and there was another layer to the relationship.

Previously, Yang Meilu married Huang Sheng just because her family wanted to repay their kindness, but Yang's father and Yang's mother asked Yang Meilu to marry Huang Sheng's cousin partly because of repayment, but there was also another layer of relationship, just to earn the bride price.

With this gift money, they can then give their son a blind date, so that Yang Baiyuan's marriage can be completed.

Father Yang and Mother Yang were thinking loudly in their minds.

"Be careful what you say." Yang Baiyuan thought the words were unpleasant and pointed at Li Fan.

"That's right, this is our family's business after all. Now the family is short of money. Your brother is getting married. Shouldn't you, the younger sister, help out? Did he love you in vain when he was a child?" Mother Yang said.

"Yang Baiyuan is a lazy person. When has he ever hurt me? When he was a child, he would instruct me to do work, but you would just ignore it. He would steal my food and take my toys. When he grew up, he would take my books for school. I was supposed to cause trouble, what did you say again? When did he treat me as his biological sister? He had forgotten everything before, but now he remembered me, co-author Yang Baiyuan is your biological child, and I am not his biological child? "Now that Li Fan is by her side, Yang Meilu dares to speak. She releases her suppressed feelings for many years and speaks loudly to Father Yang and Mother Yang.

"Shut up, you have no conscience. Have you forgotten that your brother gave you that bowl of mutton when you were a child? He couldn't even eat it even if he wanted to." Mother Yang couldn't bear to be shamed by what she said. , recalling all the things that happened when I was a child.

"Are you still mentioning this? The mutton was spoiled. I had diarrhea for several days and couldn't catch up with the exam. Yang Baiyuan has never been kind to me since I was a child. He is not a good brother at all. No matter when, he only knows how to bully me. Now that he is old, why should I sacrifice my own happiness to help him?" Yang Meilu frowned.
