1240. Chapter 1240 Ten Years Ago
The third aunt's words were a fatal temptation for Zhao Yuan. She came here just to find out the truth of that year, and the third aunt also bluntly stated that she was willing to tell the truth. Then her purpose was achieved, even if she stayed
That’s okay too.
That night, Zhao Yuan stayed at her third uncle's house.
When the guests left, the light rain in the sky stopped, and the mourning hall illuminated by dark candles became even more eerie and terrifying.
Zhao Yuan looked at the photo of her third uncle's body, as if she had never known this person before, looking back and forth at his strange yet familiar features in the photo.
She never understood the evil force that tore apart their entire family.
It was still Zhao Zhuofeng who kept watch that night. When the third aunt carried Zhuoyang and sent Zhao Yuan off to rest, she still acted like a stranger and said coldly: "I'll come find you later."
She did not tell the exact time. Zhao Yuan went to the guest room and lay on the bed in a daze, with scenes from ten years ago gradually emerging in her mind.
Escape, blood, corpses all over the mountains and plains.
Obviously one moment everyone was toasting and celebrating, but the next moment they were all gone.
Zhao Yuan remembered that at that time, her family was as wealthy as her third uncle. Her father had just made a lot of money before the tragedy happened. Many people also said that their family became rich overnight, so Zhao Yuan never paid attention to the financial situation of her family.
, now that I think about it, it’s a bit strange.
Gradually, Zhao Yuan fell asleep leaning against the bed.
In a daze, she felt a cold wind blowing on her face, as if the cold hand of her third uncle's stiff corpse had swept across her cheek. She was so frightened that she trembled all over and woke up immediately.
But Zhao Yuan never expected that when she opened her eyes, she saw the third aunt with a gloomy face, standing next to her in black clothes.
The dim light in the corridor passed through the ajar door and fell into the room, lengthening her lonely figure, but making Zhao Yuan shiver inexplicably all over.
"Three...third aunt..."
Zhao Yuan shouted these words in surprise, and the woman standing beside the bed frowned and looked at her indifferently: "Have you been having a bad time recently?"
"yes……"
After saying this, Zhao Yuan regretted it and looked at the third aunt with some surprise.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the third aunt to know about this kind of thing, but the third aunt's tone was so determined, as if she had seen through all her previous experiences and thought that she came to the door because she was desperate.
This thought made Zhao Yuan feel very embarrassed. She had been short of money recently, but she would not come to her third uncle's funeral to ask for money from someone who had stolen their belongings!
"I've been having a bad time lately, but I'm not here to pray for help or mercy!"
Zhao Yuan gritted her teeth and spoke what was in her heart. The third aunt who had been looking at her with cold eyes nodded very calmly: "I know you want to get back something like that."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yuan's eyes still flashed with an incredible light, but the third aunt slowly sat down beside her bed and continued in a calm tone: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, if you want to go back to that
I won’t stop you, I will even give it to you with my own hands. In the past ten years, no one knows better than me how terrible that thing is..."
At this point, the third aunt's calm eyes suddenly turned to Zhao Yuan's curious eyes, revealing a trace of sadness: "The price is something that a young girl like you cannot afford in her lifetime!"
The third aunt's voice was so firm and painful, which aroused Zhao Yuan's curiosity even more.
Even Jiang Xinyou and the others, who were currently observing Zhao Yuan's death memory, gradually realized that it might be this night that the key to some things could be clarified from the conversation between the two women.
Sure enough, the third aunt slowly grabbed Zhao Yuan's hand from the darkness and talked about what happened in the past ten years.
"When your third uncle first brought that thing back, his eyes were very strange. I don't know how to describe his eyes at that time. Now I think it must be fear. Yes, he was afraid of that kind of thing. He put it in a box and threw it under the bed.
I have trouble sleeping and eating every night, but I can’t bear to give it to
Lost it. But at that time our family was so poor that we could hardly lift the pot. One night he suddenly woke me up from my dream, leaned into his ear mysteriously and asked me, saying that if one day our family becomes very rich,
No matter what happens, I can bear it."
Speaking of this, the third aunt once again showed an elusive look in her eyes: "When he asked this question, I never connected it with the tragedy of the Zhao family. I thought he was talking about
Men become bad when they get rich, and they will abandon us, mother and son, and completely destroy us.
He took his words as a big joke and laughed at him. He also said that as long as he gave me a sum of money, I could immediately hug my son and get out... Xiaoyuan, I really didn't know anything at that time.
If I had known better, I would not have said these words in the first place!"
The third aunt didn't know about the baby, let alone how the tragedy in the Zhao family happened.
She had always thought that her husband became extremely silent after returning home because the family had undergone tremendous changes and escaped from death. At that time, their dilapidated yard was trampled by countless people investigating the Zhao family tragedy, but still no one asked him anything.
To be sure, over time, people began to think that he had been seriously injured, and she also thought that her husband was delusional.
Fortunately, another survivor at that time, Zhao Yuan, almost gave the same testimony. I don’t know who the murderer was because of the unknown creature. Maybe the murderer was not a human, but a beast. After all, the people of the Zhao family died in terrible circumstances, as if they were killed by wild beasts.
Claws tore limbs apart...
This incident eventually became an unknown mystery, and the Shanhe District gradually became deserted due to various horrific rumors. It was said that many people disappeared from there later, so it became even more mysterious and terrifying.
But what is really terrifying is not the Shanhe District, but what was taken away by the third uncle back then.
"That thing has spirituality and can inspire people's greed. I never know what your uncle made for that thing, but the situation in our family is getting better. I feel like I have never worn anything in my life.
Such beautiful clothes and shoes, but later your third uncle actually hoarded countless gold bars at home... Xiaoyuan, that kind of heaven
Do you know the feeling of falling into a pie? I always thought that I was dreaming, and I pinched myself several times every day. At that time, the whole back of my hand was bruised, and it was all pinched by myself... I was very scared,
I'm afraid that everything will be gone when I wake up. Your third uncle is also afraid. He's not afraid of losing money, but he's afraid of retribution!"
Zhao Yuan seemed to understand what the third aunt said, and couldn't wait to ask: "What is our Zhao family's treasure?"
