Wang Kun's daughter-in-law was killed

A broken gong sounded in my mother's throat, waking me and my elder brother and my second brother from their sleep, and causing the yard and even the village's chickens, ducks, geese and dogs to protest.

The birds perched on the eaves and branches fluttered and fled high into the sky.

Even the heavens opened their heavy eyelids slowly, spitting out a round of red and bright sunlight.

"Oh my! It's not good! Wang Kun's daughter-in-law has been killed! Wang Kun's daughter-in-law was killed in front of the house!" Mom's shout shook the window paper, and a piece of dirt fell from the beam of the house.

Grandparents almost simultaneously asked, "Really, how do you know? Don't pick up the blind!"

"This is not, just now I went over to borrow salted salt, a pull the door, my God, I was scared heap shrink, strong crawl back, my pants are wet ......"

At this point, our family realized that Mom had wet her pants, both palms were still covered with mud, and both pant legs were also covered with mud.

The grandmother was then scared heaps shrunk.

Grandpa slipped on a pair of cloth shoes and quickly ran to Wang Kun's house in the west yard with our brothers and sons.

Yesterday evening black also sounded clear day, the night somehow a wilting rain, the ground wet, slippery. As soon as I went out, I fell a dog's ass. The palms of my hands and clothes were also covered with some mud, as was my mother.

At this time, the door of Wang Kun's house was open, probably because Mom had just pulled it open and left it open in a hurry.

I fearfully put my head to the door, I do not know whether it is the older brother or the second brother, in the back of a strong squeeze, a sudden squeeze me into the house. I was so frightened that I hastily closed my eyes, two hands instinctively clutching my head, holding it to death, as if waiting for a large firecracker to immediately explode.

The two bad guys, the older brother and the second brother, squeezed me into the house, but they leaned on the door frame, like two cats, poking their heads in towards the house. Until Grandpa? I was a little more brave when the minions gasped to arrive.

I moved both hands away from the eyes, "OMG" shouted, the body shuddered, a stream of urine did not hold out.

Wang Kun's daughter-in-law was covered in white light, fat and large body only wearing a pair of pants, leaning in the corner at my feet, at most two feet away from the door. She was leaning on the ground with both hands, her head hanging low, if not for a pair of scissors stuck in her chest and a streak of black and purple blood, others would have thought she had fallen asleep from fatigue.

The scissors were also stained black and purple with blood, and the red cloth wrapped around the handle told me that it was Wang Kun's own home, which was often used by the deceased during the week. I saw the deceased using it just a few days ago, four days ago to be exact.

Grandfather carefully looked at the rope tied to the door handle, said to himself, the door rope is still good, the murderer how to enter the house?

At that time, every family is used to the door handle with a set of twine tied to the corresponding door frame nail a nail, sleep at night with a hang. Some people are too lazy to hang or forget to hang is also a common thing.

Grandpa gave a cry and stared at us and yelled, "Big Black is missing, why is Big Black missing?" As if the big black was hidden by our brothers.

Grandpa said the big black, is the Wang Kun family raised a four-eyed black dog, tall and big, very fierce, not only control of their own yard, even my yard came to the stranger, came to the other family's pigs, chickens, geese and dogs, it will be crazy rush over, the outsiders chased away. For this reason it is very popular with our family, often fed it some food, but nothing good food, because people can not eat any good food.

Grandpa, like a sudden thought, called out the name of big brother. Because of the sudden call, I saw the big brother's body shivered coldly, both legs are a little shaky.

Big brother's name is Chunguang, fifteen or sixteen years old, almost to oust grandfather, physical fitness is also very strong, is not very talkative, but the heart is quite a lot. Grandparents often say he has an old pig waist, describing him as very scheming.

Grandpa explained to his elder brother Chunguang, "You have fast legs, run quickly, go to the brigade to report. Can you say it clearly?"

The elder brother sighed twice and ran for the door. Second brother Chunlai said "I'll go too", did not wait for grandpa to say, followed the big brother thumped out.

I said, "I'm going too!" But grandfather pulled a hand and said: "You little Ga Douzi, stupid hands and feet with the head of the style, can not run them, but delay things."
