At the head of the village, Sujia.

While Sun Cuihua was away, Old Man Su planned to go into the room and have a talk with Su Zifeng, but when he pushed the door to the room, it was empty with no one inside!

There was no clothes on the hanging rope where the clothes were originally placed, and it looked like an unoccupied room.

After being stunned, the old man immediately turned around and returned to his room.

He opened the chamber pot and put his hand inside.

Gone!

The money is all gone!

The old man was so shocked that he collapsed on the ground, as if he had aged ten years again.

We sat there until the sun set.

When darkness fell, he raised the chamber pot and threw it out: "This unworthy descendant!"

The chamber pot rolled to the door and was picked up by Sun Cuihua, who had just returned.

"What's going on?"

She happily stepped into the house and stretched out her finger: "I'm telling you, old man, someone has offered this amount for our fields! Once the deed is paid tomorrow morning, you can get the money."

The old man Su was in a daze and was extremely shocked.

"What's wrong with you?" Sun Cuihua went to help him up in the dark.

Old man Su woke up and asked fiercely: "Have you found that dead girl Ziyuan?"

Sun Cuihua spat, "I get angry when I talk about this! That damn girl ran away with the wild man a long time ago."

"Are you serious!?"

Sun Cuihua's eyes widened: "Can it be fake? Aunt Feng sees it as real!"

"Let's go, let's all go!" Old Man Su shook her off angrily.

Sun Cuihua didn't take it seriously, "What's the matter? Why are you angry at me? Don't we still have Feng'er?"

"Feng'er?" Old Man Su looked up to the sky and smiled, "Your good friend Feng'er ran away long ago!"

"What did you say!?" Sun Cuihua's expression suddenly changed.

……

The next morning.

The sky is slightly bright.

Su Mu added water to the pot, and Su Sheng added firewood to the stove.

Suxiao washed the pot, washed the rice, cooked porridge, and set up the fire.

A few people heated up the leftovers from last night, ate a bowl of porridge, then put on their old clothes and went to weed the vegetable field.

The vegetables planted earlier are growing well. Susheng plans to plow the land here today and continue planting vegetables.

After digging the ground, Suhong woke up.

"Why did you get up so early today?"

Suhong staggered out of the room.

"Wash and eat, then change your clothes and come over to pull weeds. Today we will plow the ground in the front and backyard. Spring is here. When it's time to plant vegetables and trees, it's time to plant trees."

Su Mu turned around and said something, while her hands were still busy.

"I'll be here soon." Suhong said and started to wash up.

When it was completely light, Suhong also finished eating. He went back and changed his clothes and went out to pull weeds together. They worked together for another two hours before cleaning up, leaving only a small patch of wild onions and the lush wild flowers growing beside the fence.

"I didn't expect there were green onions here. I never noticed them before." Su Mu picked a handful and put them into the vegetable basket.

"Brother, take all this grass and chop it into pieces, and throw some away to feed the chickens."

"okay!"

Susheng hugged some and went in, and her younger brother also hugged some and followed.

Once the soil has been plowed, it will dry in a few hours and can be planted in the afternoon.

There was still some time before noon. Su Sheng glanced at her brother who was busy at work and was about to chop two bamboos back to build a chicken pen.

"I go out for a while."

Before they could say anything, she strode out of the yard.

This time we went to the mountain at the back. That mountain is often visited by people in the village, and bamboo is easy to find.

Before cutting the bamboo, Su Sheng dug out a basket of spring bamboo shoots, which were quite big. After cutting the bamboo and dragging it down the mountain, as soon as I got out of the foot of the mountain, I felt a wave of heat coming over me. When I lowered my head, I saw that the shadows were all under my feet. It was noon.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the house, Su Mu came out, followed by two chickens.

He pulled Susheng into the house, then ran to the kitchen and came over quickly with a bowl of water.

"Sheng girl is back. It's getting hot. Come inside to enjoy the coolness."

Aunt Wang heard the sound and came out.

Su Sheng took the water from Su Mu and raised her head, "Aunt Wang, why are you here?"

"Brothers and sisters Su Zifeng and Su Ziyuan seem to have run away from home." Su Mu said while helping her take off her backpack.

He took out the machete and put it away, put the hoe behind the door, and then took the basket to the kitchen.

Susheng and Suxiao looked at each other, their expressions darkening.

"When did you leave?"

Wang Daying waved his hand and said insinuatingly: "I don't know about this, but last night, your grandma cried so much that the whole village knew about it. Now your grandma is the only two people left. I came here this time to think about it." I want to ask you if you have any thoughts. Now people in the village feel that they are very pitiful at their age."

In this dynasty where filial piety is paramount, it is easy to get poked in the spine if you are indifferent to your grandparents.

Susheng is not afraid of this, since she doesn't study or take the imperial examination anyway.

That is, if someone she likes in the future, she must be the one to marry him back.

Her thoughts were influenced by Lao Qiu, but her second brother was not.

The second brother needs to study. If he lets his companions know this, he might be accused of being unfilial.

The imperial examination will not affect the examination, but the reputation will definitely be ruined.

"I understand, thank you Aunt Wang."

Susheng sent her out and gave her some meatballs made by her third brother.

Seeing Suxiao coming out, she asked in a low voice, "Brother, do they say that?"

Su Xiao's eyes were slightly cold, passing over Su Sheng, and landed on Wang Daying who was walking in the distance.

"Since the family has been separated, there is no need to worry about it anymore."

After he finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet for a while.

Su Sheng turned around and saw that Su Xiao didn't move her eyebrows or say a word. She smiled and said, "My intuition tells me that they will leave this village soon."

"The most important thing is to find Su Zifeng's whereabouts, otherwise we will be in the dark and he will be in the dark, and it will be impossible to guard against him." Su Xiao's brows relaxed, and then he frowned again.

Susheng lowered her eyes and said, "Yeah."

……

At night, it's slightly cool.

Dark as ink.

Susheng sat on the bed with her eyes closed tightly.

She waved her hands gently, and the vines around her seemed to be alive, slowly squirming and winding into two thick arms.

Opening it again, Susheng's eyes flashed with a strange green light.

Under her control, the vine man gradually grew in size.

She controlled its body, led it quietly through the window, and sneaked into the old man's house.

In the room, the old man and Sun Cuihua were lying on a small bed.

The vines appeared in front of them like ghosts, wrapping around their bodies quickly and fatally, binding them tightly.

"Ugh!"

The two old men opened their eyes wide and struggled desperately.

But the power of the vines is far beyond their imagination.

The vines wrapped around their necks and strangled them tightly until the two of them stopped breathing completely.

Su Sheng stood outside the house with no expression on her face. She only whispered in a low voice: "My second brother has to maintain his filial piety after his death, so it's better to disappear."

After all, if you don’t see people alive or dead bodies, who can be sure that they are really dead?

Su Sheng raised her hand and flicked her arm.

In the house, vines wrapped the bodies of the two old men, Su Sheng, and disappeared into the night.

The footprints went all the way up the mountain, and her figure gradually faded away in the night, as if she had never appeared before. (End of chapter)
