Deng Dai carried a bag of rice to an old lady's house and collected her twenty-five cents. The old lady thanked her and said, "This rice is very heavy. Thanks to you, otherwise my old lady would not be able to carry it and she would not be able to eat."

Deng Dai smiled honestly and said, "You also gave me wages, and I would like to thank you for taking care of my business!"

He turned around and left, and the woman sighed and said, "Xiao Dai is really good. If the family was not too poor, she wouldn't have been able to marry a wife until now, hey!"

Someone next to him smiled and said, "Pony Li, I just helped you carry a bag of rice and collected two papers. Are you still thinking about someone else? Then marry your daughter to him!"

The woman scolded, "Bao, what's the point of chewing on? Although my daughter is a widow, she wants to keep her integrity for her husband's family. How can she get married again?"

Someone said again: "Brother Li, are you really not going to take your daughter back? How dangerous is she living there? That kind of thing happened next to you. You said that so many people died, what if you encounter something unclean that night..."

The woman felt a little excited when she heard this and said, "Go, where is there anything there? It's still so far away. I can't find my daughter. Besides, my daughter is a chaste girl. She has been keeping her husband's chastity for seven years. Sooner or later, she can earn a chastity archway. Such a person is blessed by the Bodhisattva!"

Everyone laughed. The Bodhisattva blessed this kind of thing too vain, but the woman seemed to be really scared. She changed her clothes, put the door away, and really went to see her daughter.

The people living in the North City are all ordinary people, and many people are too poor to take off their own expenses. There is a sense of poverty and sorrow in the air.

Because of poverty, it is a little messy.

The woman's daughter married the son of a grocer in Xicheng, which was considered a high-level tide. This was a good marriage and made everyone around her envious for a long time.

Later I learned that the reason why the grocer found a wife for his son from Beicheng was not because he was attracted by the fact that the woman's daughter was pretty good. It was because the grocer's son was a tuberculosis and had a good life in just a few years, so he spent some money, which was equivalent to buying a wife for his son.

Sure enough, Li Po’s daughter has been married less than a year and has become a widow.

However, the grocer also thought about some in-laws and asked the widow's daughter-in-law to spend some money for Mrs. Li to spend it. This is why Mrs. Li can afford to buy white rice and buy it one bag at a time.

They all know this person named Deng Dai. They were also an orphan in Beicheng earlier. They couldn't survive anymore and disappeared for a while. Later, they heard that they were working as a scholar for the rich young master in Xicheng.

However, such days did not last long. More than three years later, Deng Dai was kicked out because he grew up and became useless. He was big and thick, with thick eyebrows and big mouths. When he smiled, he looked honest and stupid, and when he didn't smile, he felt ugly.

The rich young master thought that there was such a scholar around him to lose his belongings, so he beat him out of the door on the excuse of stealing something.

However, Deng Dai was older at this time and was able to rely on himself. Because he had been a scholar with the young master, he could also recognize a few words.

I heard that he had a small business.

Later, he moved back and he had a carriage, which was specially designed to help people pick up goods or send customers far away. As long as it was a business, he would pick up everything. He would pick up ten taels of silver when he traveled a long trip. He would pick up the bag of rice like Li, and he would pick up the same amount of money for a job.

He knows it in this area.

After Mrs. Li walked out the door, she saw Deng Dai still on the street, wearing a carriage, and hurried over and asked, "Xiao Dai, are you taking the job now? Send me to my daughter's place, do you have time?"

From Beicheng to Xicheng, the old woman's legs and feet were all dark. Such a scary thing happened there. I heard that the murderer has not been found yet. Mrs. Li didn't have the courage to walk that road at night and didn't care about saving any money.

Deng Dai smiled and nodded: "I have time!"

When Mrs. Li climbed onto the carriage, Deng Dai drove the carriage to the north city.

He was very steadily rushing the car and arrived at the place in only half an hour. Mrs. Li was very satisfied. When she got off the car, the servant in the house saw that it was the young man's mother, and immediately went to report.

Mrs. Li asked Deng Dai how much it cost.

Deng Dai said: "Ten Months!"

After collecting the money, Mrs. Li was very happy. She had collected twelve cents before. Xiao Dai was better. The car was fast and steady, and the charge was not high. She looked glad: "It's better to take Xiao Dai's car quickly. There was a killer next to her. She killed someone seventeen, and she didn't even let the girl go. It's a sin! It's dark after a while. I don't dare to come here yet, old lady!"

At this time, a woman dressed in a twenties was coming out.

Mrs. Li smiled at Deng Dai and said, "Xiao Dai, this is my daughter!"

Deng Daizheng responded with a smile: "My mother-in-law wants to use a car and just call me. As long as I have time, I will give it to you."

The woman's eyes fell on her mother, but suddenly she heard Deng Dai talking, but she was so scared that she took a step back, opened her eyes wide, and her eyes were filled with horror.

Li Pozi smiled and said, "Baoer, this is the young man Xiao Dai I told you before. He is very good-looking, but he looks a little fierce. Don't be afraid!"

The woman realized that she had lost her compulsion and forced herself to smile: "Hello, Brother Xiao Dai, I suddenly saw a foreign man and had lost his compulsion for a while!"

Deng Dai waved his hand honestly: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm ugly and scared you!"

The woman lowered her head, not daring to look at Deng Dai's eyes, and said stutteringly: "No, I'm timid..."

Mrs. Li whispered to Deng Dai in a very familiar tone: "Don't be surprised by Xiaodai. My Baoer was a widow in her early years and kept her integrity as a husband. She could not meet outsiders, for fear that others would be irresponsible. This was because she was scared when she suddenly saw you. You go back first, and I will take care of you if you have a business!"

Deng Dai said with a good temper: "Okay!"

He jumped into the carriage, turned around and smiled at the woman, and then drove away in the carriage.

The woman was so scared that her face turned pale, and she panickedly helped her mother into the house.

Li Pozi said, "Baoer, go home with your mother, look at where you live? Only a wall is there. If you are haunted there, you, a woman, shouldn't call him "Di Tiantian". Go back to live with your mother, at least you have a companion, and you will live back after this matter is over."

The woman was trembling and said reluctantly: "Mom, where can I live back to my parents' home? If I really go back, it will be difficult for me to come back in the future!"

Mrs. Li also sighed. The owner of the grocery store was rich and there were several houses. This was not an old house. It was after her deceased son-in-law died. The owner of the grocery store asked her to move in, saying that it was quiet and that she could keep her quiet for her son.

If she returned to her parents' home, the husband's family would think she could not stand the quietness and was taken back by her parents' home. Maybe the house would be taken back.

Although this house is just one step, it is also a place to settle down.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's body trembling and said with distress: "Aren't you afraid of living alone here?"

There is only an old man guarding the gate and an old woman with missing teeth here to take care of her. What is the difference between this and her daughter living alone?

The woman had a white face and said, "Mom, I'm afraid, isn't that okay?" She said, "What's the name of the person you were riding in the car today? Where is the person? Why are you riding in his car?"

Mrs. Li told Deng Dai about it and praised him again. It was nothing more than just helping her with work, and she would charge one or two less articles.

The woman was a little impatient and said, "Mom, just stay here for a few days, I'll cook for you!"

"What, do you have to cook yourself?"

The woman smiled bitterly: "I am a widow and a mere practitioner now, and I have nothing to do. I just cook and make a girl. Mrs. Wang is so old. Do you dare to eat what you cook?"

The mother and daughter had a conversation. The woman's face was a little better. She had been trembling slightly before, but now she is much better.

After leaving the door of Li Pozi's daughter, Deng Dai drove the carriage very quickly. He put away his smile, and the honest expression on his face disappeared. He originally had big eyes, big mouth, high cheekbones, and looked a bit scary.

Mrs. Li helped her daughter cook the meal and found that the old man who was guarding the gate was only responsible for guarding the gate. The old man who was missing teeth made the meal for himself and the old man who was guarding the gate, not including her daughter, and her daughter had to cook it by herself.

Moreover, the woman with dental teeth went back to her home until dark, and the old man guarding the door also left. In this huge house, her daughter was actually the only one living in the night.

She originally thought that her daughter was doing well, at least she was a young lady. Now she knew what was good? She was widowed and even had to stutter. She couldn't help but say with heartache that she had harmed her daughter. At that time, she thought that the family was in good condition and could have enough food, but her daughter was unwilling to do so, so she didn't let go.

The woman comforted her: "Although she has to do it herself, she has to eat and drink at least, what's the point of being dissatisfied with this day? Compared with the days before, it's much better."

She was not in good spirits, and Mrs. Li held it for a long time before asking, "Baoer, are you sick?"

The woman shook her head. She wasn't sick, she was scared.

That night, she was awakened at night. When she got up at night, she heard screams. Under the courtyard wall, she knew what was happening across the wall. She heard those begging for mercy, screams, the woman's desperate cry, and the man's hideous laughter...

But she was just a weak woman, she shivered against the wall and could not do anything.

She realized that if people knew that she was awake only in the next courtyard wall, she would definitely kill her. She quickly ran back to the room and hurried on the bed, but her ears had been better than others since childhood. Although the yard next door was taller, it could not stop the sound. Hellish sounds drilled into her ears.

The next day, another official sent her to ask her.

When did she see this scene? She was so scared that she was stunned, but she knew that she could not say anything. If she said it, she would definitely be dead!

The official saw that she didn't know anything about it and didn't come again. She had been ill for seven or eight days and was in a state of confusion. She thought she was going to die. The woman from the quarantine reported to the master and hired a doctor for her, saying that she was frightened, and prescribed a few medicines. She struggled to survive again.

She couldn't send anyone to send me messages, and Mrs. Li was in Beicheng. In order not to cause trouble for her daughter, she only visited her daughter once a year. Although she had heard of a big incident here, she realized that she didn't expect to be so close to her daughter's house.

If those people hadn't mentioned it again this time and said it happened next to her daughter, she would have been kept in the dark.

After dinner, the mother and daughter cleaned up the dishes, chatted for a while, and then went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Xu Baoer suddenly heard something in the yard and she woke up suddenly.

If she had been usually the only one who would have just huddled in the bed and covered her head with a quilt, but today her mother came out here, she plucked up her courage, put on her clothes, pushed the door open and walked into the yard.

Under the moonlight, there was nothing in the yard.

She thought it was a wild cat and a wild dog. When the night wind blew, it sounded whirring. When she thought of what happened next door, she was immediately frightened and turned around to go back to the house.

However, a black shadow suddenly covered her.

The moonlight shone slanted, dragging the black shadow's body to a long time.

Xu Baoer's hands and feet were cold, and she didn't know where the courage came from, so she turned her head suddenly.

It was a man with a burly figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high cheekbones, and a big mouth, showing her a honest smile.

Xu Baoer opened her eyes wide and could no longer help it. Her pants were wet and there was a pool of water on the ground. She almost fell to the ground with her mouth open, but she couldn't make any sound.

Deng Dai looked at her, his smile was still so simple and kind, and even a little gentle in his voice: "You heard it all, right?"

Xu Baoer felt like she was losing her voice. She opened her mouth wide and kept breathing, but she still seemed to be suffocating. She said with difficulty: "I didn't hear..."

"Haha!" Deng Dai smiled, not caring that there was an unpleasant smell in the air after she was frightened and incontinent. He walked two steps closer and said, "You heard my voice that day, so you were scared like this when you heard my voice during the day, right?"

She hurriedly said, "No, no, no, what I heard was not your voice, how could it be you? You have no grudges with the Yuan family. My mother said that you are just an ordinary peddler!"

"No, it's me!" A crazy resentment flashed in Deng Dai's eyes. Perhaps he knew that Xu Baoer could not escape from his palm, and he was not in a hurry. Every word he spitted out was like a letter from a poisonous snake.

"I was just a little scholar back then. Do you think I was always so ugly? No. He snatched my eyes, hammered my face with a hammer, and moved my bones. Everyone knew it, but they still found it very interesting. No one cared about my life or death. I was injured like this. When I was healed, I would become disabled! And his two sisters, who always called me like dogs, scolded me, and hit me... In the end, they drove me out. They thought I would definitely die, but they didn't expect that I was lucky and I survived!"

He gritted his teeth, almost every word was filled with hatred, and his voice felt a cruel pleasure: "I spent ten years, ten years, using the money I made to buy the servants in their mansion. So I have always been poor, I have done all kinds of work, I am tired and dirty, and I have made money but not. Hard work pays off. I finally waited for the time, got in, and put the medicine in the water tank in their kitchen."

"That's not poison, it's a medicine that makes them awake, able to speak but unable to move! Then, I killed them one by one, like killing chickens. When they were dying, they screamed, begged for mercy, and struggled desperately, trying to run away, but they couldn't escape."

"There is also the young master. He ruined my face and enjoyed bullying me, so I also repaid him hard. I hammered the bones on his face one by one, shattering blood all over his face. He begged for mercy, but I begged for mercy at the beginning, and he didn't let me go!"
