My heart couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when I heard Tang Ran agree.

At the same time, I turned my attention back to the current situation.

At this moment, I still don't get it.

That person was clearly the butcher Liu.

But why did Father call him Old Xie Huang?

What made me even more confused was that the butcher Liu was clearly dead. How did he manage to appear here?

While I was thinking about these messy questions, my thoughts once again entered into a deadlock.

And at this moment, something I would never have thought of.

Old Huang had not left for even half an hour.

At this time, a wave of panic came from the direction of the village.

This sound gave off a very noisy feeling.

It was hard to imagine.

This place is so far away from the village. Logically speaking, even if there was something that happened in the village, we would not be able to hear this sound here.

I subconsciously frowned.

At this moment, when I listened carefully once again, I didn't hear anything.

I looked at Tang Ran and asked, "Did you hear anything from the village?"

Tang Ran looked at me hesitantly before asking, "Village?"

I nodded. "That's right. Why do I feel like someone is saying my name?"

Small male and small male...

That voice didn't seem to have come from the village, but this feeling made me feel as if it had come from there. In short, at this moment, I faintly felt that something had happened, but I didn't know what it was.

While I was thinking about this question, Tang Ran said to me from the side, "Let's go. We'll take a look in the direction they escaped to."

Don Ran was talking about the direction my father and Butcher Liu had fled in.

With their abilities, even if they were discovered, there was no need to escape.

The reason why they had immediately ran away when they heard someone coming was because there was only one explanation for their current situation. It was that everything they had done this time was definitely shameful.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but grunt in my heart.

At this time, Tang Ran and I only had one thought in our minds, and that was to secretly find out what kind of secrets were hidden inside.

However, when we groped our way through the grass where they had escaped, we did not find anything unusual.

Other than some of the grass that he had brought along, there was nothing else in the grass.

When I saw this, I couldn't help but be puzzled.

From where we were, to where we were now, it had only been a few minutes.

And now, in just a few minutes, they had all escaped.

This was almost unbelievable to me.

And that's when I was thinking about it.

Tang Ran patted my shoulder before saying, "It seems like the two of us won't be able to catch up to them. Let's head back."

Unable to catch up with the now dead Butcher Liu who had reappeared, my heart was still filled with regret.

On top of that, it was currently night and the entire night was dark. I was a little anxious, so my speed increased significantly on the way home.

In less than ten minutes, we had reached the village entrance.

To my surprise.

It was already night. It was already ten in the night, but the village was usually lifeless.

At this moment, it looked very lively.

Many of the lights outside the farmhouses were turned on, so when we went back, there was a feeling of bright lights.

The people of the countryside lived frugally, especially in terms of energy. Sometimes, they would even be willing to travel in the dark and not put on the lights.

Thus, what happened tonight still surprised me quite a bit.

It had to be known that lights were only turned on in front of homes during New Year's Eve. Other than that, they were usually off.

When Tang Ran and I came back in the dark and saw the bright lights, we couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

And as we walked home.

I was surprised to find that there were quite a few abnormal situations in the village.

Because as we got closer to the house, we saw a lot of neighbors coming in and out of my house, which was very strange.

Because of the cold, they were all trembling a little.

Even so, they still gathered together and muttered something under their breath, "What a terrible crime."

"Did you notice anything? She's the same as her second uncle."

"That's right, I died too miserably. I think I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"That's nothing. Just as I lay down, I heard that scream and came over to take a look. The little male grandma was just like that. You didn't see that, so if it was you, you wouldn't be able to sleep at all."

As we spoke in hushed tones, I suddenly realized something.

But I don't quite believe this.

Who would have thought that such a thing would actually happen in our house not long after it was peaceful?

As the saying goes, fortune cannot be separated from misfortune. But in this period of time, there have been too many disasters occurring in our family. For a little girl like me, this was a huge blow.

However, I knew very well that I had to hold on at this time. After all, my father and I were the only ones in our family. If I couldn't hold on any longer, what would I do with my family?

Seeing this, I pushed my way through the crowd and headed for my house.

As expected, what they said wasn't wrong.

My grandmother is dead.

Her death was very unsightly. Even I, who had seen it, could not help but tremble …

She just knelt like that at the door, head raised, eyes and mouth full of blood, her grey hair unkempt and unkempt. That look, I will never forget for the rest of my life.

It's really hard to imagine that even at such an age, my grandmother would still die in such a miserable manner. This caused my heart to suddenly feel uncomfortable, and tears continued to flow. At the same time, my throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, making me so uncomfortable that I couldn't even breathe.

I threw myself at Grandmother's side and shouted, "Grandmother, look at me! It's me! I'm your little boy! Grandmother, you can't leave! After you leave, I'll be the only one left in the house! What should I do in the future …?"

The lump in my throat was unbearable, but when I cried out, it was more constricted.

However, it was worth mentioning that Grandma would never wake up again …

By his side, Tang Ran was walking left and right, searching for something.

I cried for almost half an hour, and none of the villagers dared to help me up.

Because too many strange things have happened in our family, they were afraid that they would get into a bad mood after coming over to help us, so they stood far away and watched from the sidelines.

At this moment, Tang Ran walked to my side and squatted on the floor before softly saying to me, who was crying loudly, "I've found the culprit."

When he said that.

At first, I didn't quite believe it.

As he said this, I paused for a moment, then jerked my head up and asked him, "Who killed my grandmother?"

I asked, grabbing his shoulder.

Maybe I was too angry at this moment, so when I grabbed his arm, I used a lot of force.

At this moment, the nails of my hands had embedded themselves into his muscles.

At this moment.

Tang Ran subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air with a pained expression on his face.

Even so, he still didn't say anything to me, nor did he push me away. Facing my unreasonable actions, he only silently endured.

However, at that time, all of my attention was focused on the name of the murderer that Tang Ran was about to say.

So at this moment, I shook his shoulder and asked, "Tell me! Tell me! Who killed my grandmother!?" "Who is it!?" I gnashed my teeth as I spoke.

Right now, I am.

Having recovered some of my rationality, I didn't continue to squeeze his arm.

At the same time, I heard him say, "It's your mother …"

"..."

At that time, my mind was completely blank.

After he finished, I noticed that there was a large patch of red soil beside me.

This kind of scene, this kind of death scene, had already happened once before in Second Uncle's room, so it wasn't unfamiliar to me.

Second Uncle was dead.

Grandma died.

And the culprits who killed both of them were the same person. That is my mother …

I began to cry in sorrow.

At this moment.

What I didn't expect was that at some point, my father was already by my side. He lowered his head and sobbed silently, his body trembling non-stop.

When I looked over my shoulder, I didn't hear him cry.

However, the place where he was lying on the ground was covered in tears …

At this moment, he seemed to have heard Tang Ran's words.

At this time, his father slowly raised his head and clenched his two fists tightly. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Old Huang, I will definitely make you pay."

His face was twisted, and he was so angry that he looked like he was about to explode.

Looking at my father's ferocious appearance, I was inexplicably shocked.

Only what I don't quite understand.

It was my mother who killed my grandmother.

However, at this time, my father didn't have the intention to blame my mother. Instead, he targeted Old Huang and Old Xie, which made me a little curious.
