Chapter 41 Two Souls 18

Zhu Che hung his head and thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "Let me think about it, and I will answer everyone tomorrow, okay? I want to disturb my brother's sleep..."

Speaking of this, no one said anything more.

From the villagers' point of view, it is very wrong to open a coffin and disturb a person who has been buried in the ground. If this incident hadn't actually related to the safety of the villagers, they would not have forced Zhu Che to express his stance so much. Answer, they naturally agreed.

Everyone stayed for a symbolic stay, and then they left one after another. Ye Yu and Qin Yan naturally couldn't stay any longer. Before leaving the door, Ye Yu said in a voice that Zhu Che could hear: "Brother Zhu, everything will be the truth tomorrow." It’s clear, there’s no need to worry.”

Zhu Che didn't respond to him. From the time the villagers entered his house to when they all left, he didn't move in his chair.

The winter night seems to come very early, and there are no entertainment activities in the village. Everyone goes to bed after dinner, and even the lively dog ​​lies next to the big stove, enjoying the comfort of the residual heat, and the whole village is quiet.

When midnight came, there was no sound except for the howling wind. In this season and at this time, anyone who could go out had something to do, let alone act in the cemetery.

A figure, holding something in his hand, squatted somewhere, digging hard, quickly and strenuously, but he didn't stop, as if he was in a hurry, working hard, very focused.

After digging for more than an hour, the figure finally stopped, threw the tools in his hand aside, and carefully slid down the dug hole. The hole was not deep, and the figure quickly stood at the bottom of the hole, and took out some Stretching towards the dark object in the middle.

It was busy again, and it took a lot of effort for this person. When he threw away the things in his hand, he was already out of breath, but there was a smile on this person's face, and he was very satisfied with the results of his labor. Taking a breath, he reached for the lid.

The moment the lid was overturned, a slow voice sounded from the top of the pit, interrogative: "Brother Zhu, it's midnight, come to visit your brother's grave?"

With the sound of "huh", two torches appeared above Zhu Che's head, taking a clear picture of the situation at the bottom of the pit.

Zhu Che stood there with the black coffin lid thrown at his feet. The person whose entire body was covered in the coffin should be Zhu Qing.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Ling passed away for many days, and it's inappropriate for you to disturb him in the middle of the night." Ye Yu squatted at the entrance of the pit, holding a torch in his hand. Opposite him was Qin Yan, who was also holding a torch, talking. Naturally, it was Ye Yu, "Why do you have to work so hard? As long as you promise the folks, someone will help you do the work."

At this point, Zhu Che remained calm: "I want to open the coffin first, and show it to the villagers early tomorrow morning."

Qin Yan frowned, talking nonsense with his eyes open so obviously, thinking they were dead?

"Really?" Ye Yu was not angry, and stretched out his finger to hook Zhu Che twice. Qin Yan felt that his actions were no different from teasing a puppy at home, "That's just right, Qin Yan and I took a walk here, Now that the coffin has been opened, let me inspect it for you."

Qin Yan's eyelids twitched, Ye Yu would not lose to anyone in talking nonsense.

Zhu Che smiled politely: "No need, it's the middle of the night, how about..."

Ye Yu was just thinking about it. Their goal has been achieved. If they still fall short, Ye Yu should call him incompetent: "I'm sorry..."

Qin Yan jumped down from the pit and stood between Zhu Che and the coffin. The bottom of the pit was narrow. Although Zhu Che's face was getting paler and paler, he had nowhere to go, so he could only stare at him and jumped down the same way. Ye Yu stepped on both sides of the coffin.

Ye Yu didn't immediately remove the cloth that covered the body, put his palms together and said something similar to "Don't be surprised" and "I'll bury you in the future" to Zhu Qing, then stretched out his right hand and slowly lifted the white cloth to the top of the body. On one side, the person who had been covered by the white cloth for many days gradually appeared in front of Ye Yu.

Qin Yan stared at Zhu Che without hesitation for a moment. Following Ye Yu's movements, Zhu Che's face became paler and paler. Qin Yan knew that they should have taken the right risk.

The cloth was all taken off, and Ye Yu saw the complete Zhu Qing, but he didn't speak, as if the whole figure was frozen, maintaining the movement of uncovering the cloth, laying motionless on top of the coffin.

Qin Yan waited for a while, realized something strange, turned to look at Ye Yu: "What's wrong?"

Ye Yu raised his head and looked at Zhu Che. Qin Yan was startled by the coldness in his eyes. What did Ye Yu see, he seemed very angry...

Zhu Che took a few steps back, leaned against the edge of the pit, and hung his head weakly.

Qin Yan soon knew the reason for Ye Yu's anger and Zhu Che's powerlessness. After the cloth on Zhu Qing's body was removed, no one could look at Zhu Che calmly. Everyone knew that Zhu Qing could not have died a normal death, and absolutely Not from disease.

Under the white cloth, Zhu Qing's face, head, and arms were covered with scars, not the kind of small wounds caused by fighting and chopping vegetables. From the analysis of the depth and shape of the knife edge, they were all deliberately cut with some kind of sharp weapon. There was an obvious deep wound at the heart, which should be the cause of death.

Ye Yu sent Qin Yan to find the villagers to witness with their own eyes, and asked someone to report the crime, while he stayed to watch Zhu Che.

Ye Yu crossed his arms and looked at Zhu Che with his head down, expressionless: "You killed your own brother."

Zhu Che didn't speak.

"Not only did he kill him, but he also drew so many wounds on his body."

Zhu Che still buried his head in silence.

"I suddenly regretted asking Qin Yan to call someone to report to the official."

Zhu Che finally raised his head and looked at Ye Yu.

"A person like you should die without a place to die." Ye Yu sneered, "Not only did you kill your own brother, but you also played tricks, using his identity to live first, and then using the supernatural excuse of storing your soul to convince the villagers Well, as the days go by, you will have more and more characteristics of Zhu Qing, and you can completely deal with it with soul matters, and no one will doubt you."

Zhu Che's eyes widened: "Why...why do you know..."

"I know that you are not Zhu Che, but the one lying in the coffin is Zhu Che?" Ye Yu sneered, looking very contemptuous, and did not intend to explain to him, "I won't tell you, you are going to die anyway, just go Go underground and figure it out yourself."

Zhu Che trembled.

That day, from midnight to dawn and then to dawn, the whole village was in shock. Their life was always simple, and there might be small quarrels among neighbors, but the overall atmosphere of the village was friendly. The impact is too great, not to mention that the victim and the murderer are a pair of brothers, the same father, the same mother, and twins.

Moreover, Zhu Che usually gives the impression of being weak and gentle. No one expected that he would use such extreme methods to kill his twin brothers.

Later, after the investigation and interrogation by the government, something even more shocking to everyone emerged again: the deceased was Zhu Che, and the living one was actually Zhu Qing.

I won't go into details about the specific process. Zhu Qing quickly admitted that he deliberately changed identities with Zhu Che. Anyway, no matter who he is, it is inevitable that he will be beheaded.

This matter spread not only in the village, but also in the entire county and surrounding villages, and it became the talk of the area for more than half a year.

In addition, the miraculous Wang Po completely lost her mystery, and Zhu Qing confessed to using money to pay her to cooperate with the acting. Almost no one believed in her supernatural powers anymore, and it was considered a good deed.

After everything was over, after Zhu Qing's execution, the Chinese New Year was approaching. Ye Yu and Qin Yan thanked the uncle's family and many villagers for their stay, and rode on their way home.

"I really don't understand." Ye Yu swayed on the horseback, "For the sake of the family property and a girl, you killed the brother who grew up together, why?"

Qin Yan said indifferently: "Man dies for money, birds die for food, not to mention that both brothers like that girl, but the girl prefers Zhu Che, new and old grudges are counted together."

Ye Yu nodded subconsciously. He agreed with Qin Yan's words, but he still didn't understand how he could be so ruthless: "Actually, Zhu Qing is quite smart. He knows that the villagers believe in the king's wife and the soul, so he will use this method. Zhu Qing, everyone will only think that it is the soul of the big brother appearing in the body."

"Ah."

Ye Yu clamped down on the horse's belly, Xiaobai leaned towards Weifeng, Ye Yu and Qin Yan stood side by side: "You said, if we don't use the method of cultivating immortals and Taoists, and let Zhu Qing attack his shield with his spear , will he show his original shape so quickly?"

Qin Yan shook his head: "I don't know, but I think that he has done bad things, and he will be known one day."

Ye Yu didn't know what to say anymore, Qin Yan's idea was good, but the fact is, if they hadn't happened to be there to experience all this, and he was nosy, this matter would probably have been kept secret for the rest of his life, but , It is always right to leave good hope.

After walking for a while, Ye Yu thought of a question: "By the way, how did you get Wang Po to cooperate with you to tell the truth?"

"Her son and daughter-in-law were on the way back to their natal home. I asked someone to set up some obstacles on the road so that they couldn't go back for a while, and then I asked someone to tell Wang Po that her son was kidnapped. If she didn't tell the truth, and killed her son."

Ye Yu let out a chuckle: "It was the uncle who said that Wang Po regarded her son as her lifeblood, so you thought of it?"

Both of them sighed, maybe it was destined in the dark, from the day when Zhu Qing killed his younger brother to the end, they were all in the village, and they had the honor to meet the real Zhu Che before he was killed. It is impossible to doubt by accidentally discovering a mole on the chin of the living one when he wiped his face, and then guess that the dead one is actually Zhu Che himself.

This matter is almost finished, Qin Yan turned his face away, looked at the slowly setting sun, and said softly: "If I bring up that matter when I visit your home this year to pay New Year's greetings, would you be willing?"

Ye Yu pretended to be stupid: "What's the matter?"

"..."

"Old Qin, after all, you are not a girl, why are you so shy? Didn't you take the initiative in the middle of the night?"

"..."

"Old Qin..."

"Weifeng, let's go!"

With a sound of "drive", he galloped majesticly, leaving Ye Yu and Xiaobai chasing after him. While running, Ye Yu complained: "Really, I'm sorry too, so I can't say something nice, maybe I will be beaten to death by my parents."

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Yu and Qin Yan, who had just returned home for a year, went out again, but this time they were not collecting bills or playing, but...

"You were beaten by your parents?"

"Well. You also..."

"I thought my mother would persuade my father, but I didn't expect to hit him harder than my father." Ye Yu was furious with his half-swollen face, late at night, he and Qin Yan went out of the city in the dark, before dawn, Run as far as possible.

Under the faint moonlight, Ye Yu could see a bruise on Qin Yan's forehead and the corner of his mouth. It is estimated that he was often slapped by his father. This is the Qin family who came to Ye's house to pay New Year's greetings on the fifth day of the lunar new year and said in front of the four parents, " We want to be together, not to be brothers" After saying this, we faced the results of our parents separately.

They are all relatives, so they really do it...

Fighting back, running back, the two of them were in a very cheerful mood: "It's so strange, when my father beat me, he only said I was a jerk, and didn't say he disagreed."

Qin Yan said coldly, "My father is too."

Ye Yu was surprised: "Then why did you beat us?"

"……do not know……"

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the two of them knew the reason——Ye Yu received a letter from his father, Fei Ge, which read: Brat, you made me, your mother, and Aunt Qin Qin so angry that you dared to run away secretly , Let me tell you, the four of us paid a sum of money and offered a reward to people in the Jianghu, whoever can capture the two of you back intact within a month will get the money.If you win, we have nothing against your relationship; conversely, if you lose, ho ho ho ho ho. --your dad

The corners of Ye Yu's mouth twitched, hey, hey, hey, hey, he didn't say anything, it must be nothing good!

Qin Yan felt relieved, this was letting go, but he was not reconciled, he just found someone to make trouble with them, it's fine.

Before they could relax, they were stopped by a man with a knife: "Are you two Ye Yu and Mr. Qin Yan?"

The two stared at each other.

"Please go back with me, both of you..."

There was a burst of dust in front of him, and he coughed so much that he couldn't stop coughing. He quickly walked a few steps forward. Where was the shadow of the two people and two horses just now?

Qin Yan shouted on Weifeng's back: "We are going to become famous again, your father and my father will not let us go."

Ye Yu: "...My heart is bitter..."

In the month after that, there were rumors everywhere that tens of thousands of taels of gold were looking for Ye Yu and Qin Yan. The two dared not eat in restaurants, did not dare to sleep in inns, and covered their faces when they passed by places with a little more people. For fear of being seen by others, the portrait released by his father is so similar in appearance that he will recognize it in minutes.

Living in the wind and sleeping in the open, afraid of being caught and going back to be tortured, if so, the two of them were almost caught several times, and Ye Yu was so angry that he shouted back to break away from his father and son relationship.

A month later, Ye Yu and Qin Yan, who stood together in front of the four parents, were skinny, with ragged clothes and disheveled faces. They looked exhausted and ashamed from where they had just worked for a month.

"We won!" said a firm tone.

After looking at each other, the four parents raised their faces together: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Two people: "..."

Many days later, in the middle of the night, Ye Yu said to Qin Yan who was lying on top of him, "I suddenly remembered something."

Qin Yan looked up from his neck, panting: "What?"

"I remember asking Zhu Qing what he was doing with a pumpkin head in the house, and he said he didn't know where there was a pumpkin head."

Qin Yan was stunned: "What?"

"Others are going to die, so there's no need to lie to me, right?" Ye Yu pressed Qin Yan's neck and bit his ear, "Then what is that pumpkin head we saw?"

Qin Yan suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in from the window. He simply gave up thinking about it and pulled up the quilt to cover the two of them: "I don't know, it doesn't matter so much."

"Hey... ah..."

Ye Yu, who woke up from the second world, couldn't believe that he and Qin Yan had that kind of relationship in the end, and turned to look at Qin Yan next to him tremblingly.

Qin Yan didn't know when he woke up, Ye Yu turned his face away, and met him eye to eye, Ye Yu shivered, and quickly retreated to the bedside: "Uh, that's just an illusory world..."

Qin Yan got up, sat upright and looked at Ye Yu, Ye Yu trembled even more: "It's not illusory."

Ye Yu didn't understand at all: "What, what?"

After staring at him for a while, Qin Yan suddenly possessed him, put his lips in front of him and said, "I hope that's true."
