Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 610 Interrogation

Xilian was a housewife with little worldly experience.

Zhang Mazi has been dead for over a month, and it's believed that this might be the spirit of the old man returning to his 47th day after his death.

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at the man behind her.

When a woman faces a threat from a man, the natural way she thinks of protecting herself is by selling her body.

Now, her head was spinning, and she just stood there, thinking to herself, "You'd better finish this and leave."

Enraged, Yuan Tianchu struck her lower back with a rolling pin.

"Turn around, or I'll stab you to death!"

"Go ahead and poke around, then you can leave."

Yuan Tianshu didn't know what Xilian was thinking and didn't have time to argue with her.

He reached out, grabbed her ankle, pulled her over, and slapped her twice.

"Turn around here, I have a question for you!"

Xilian also thought it didn't sound like Zhang Mazi's voice.

However, once they've decided it's a ghost, they simply don't dare open their eyes.

When there were no blankets left, I covered my face with my hands.

In fact, Yuan Tianshu was wearing a felt hat and a mask at this time, so even if she opened her eyes, she could not see Yuan Tianshu's face clearly.

Seeing how nervous she was, Yuan Tianshu simply twisted her hands behind her back, tore off a pair of underpants hanging on the towel rack, and tied her up.

He lifted his vest up and covered her head with it, then threw it on the kang (a heated brick bed).

He turned on the light, said nothing, pulled down his mask, and lit a cigarette.

I sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and watched the large, wriggling white worm.

"Calm down, I'll ask you again."

Xilian twisted and turned for a long time, but couldn't break free.

I finally calmed down.

I could also tell that the person's voice was off.

Moreover, his hands were warm when he tied himself up.

I've heard from older people that ghosts don't have body temperature.

So I quieted down, opened my eyes, and with my head covered by a vest, I could only vaguely see a tall figure sitting next to me through the fabric.

"Aren't you the head of the household?"

"Just think of me as someone who came up from the underworld because I have some unfulfilled wishes!"

Seeing that this ignorant woman still regarded him as Zhang Mazi's ghost, Yuan Tianchu simply decided to play along.

"No, your hands are warm. Are you human?"

Yuan Tianchu was so angry he wanted to punch her; this woman was such a nuisance.

When she said she was a human, she said she was a ghost. After admitting she was a ghost, she said she was a human again!

I reached out and pressed my hand against the window paper; it became icy cold in no time.

Then he placed his hand on Xilian's neck again:

"Behave yourself, or I'll strangle you."

"Oh my god, it's a ghost..."

Xilian was so frightened that she convulsed again.

"Master, spare my life! I haven't done anything to wrong you!"

"Okay, you just have to answer whatever I ask!"

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

At this point, Xilian no longer knew whether she had encountered a human or a ghost.

In short, I'm terrified.

They peed on the blanket.

Yuan Tianchu lowered his voice, his tone hoarse, and asked in a slightly Guanxi-accented Mandarin, "Why did we settle down at the foot of Dahuan Mountain?"

Xilian was taken aback, not expecting the other party to ask this.

"We came...wasn't that what you wanted to come? I'm a woman who follows her husband wherever he goes!"

"Do you remember everything I told you?"

"I remember, my lord, I remember every word you said!"

Yuan Tianchu nodded to himself.

He thought to himself that this woman was superstitious and believed in ghosts, which was perfect, saving him the trouble of torturing her. He figured she would talk as soon as he asked her.

So he lowered his voice, deliberately speaking in a sinister tone, more like a ghost:

"Alright, I once told you the most important thing. Tell me about it, let's see if you remember!"

"You said the most important thing is... wife, I can't take it anymore."

"What's wrong?"

"It never lasts more than a minute each time."

"Fuck you! You dare mess with me?"

Zhang Mazi slammed a rolling pin into Xilian's hip, causing her to cry out in pain and bend over.

Yuan Tianshu angrily said:

"You bitch, I'm going to answer your questions now. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll really stab you to death!"

The smooth rolling pin tapped Xilian's head, and asked again:

"Tell me quickly, who did I tell about the baby?"

Xilian thought it over carefully and dared not speak carelessly.

But he kept muttering to himself, "I was talking about treasures too... Your treasures just aren't working... What other treasures are there? Oh right, were you asking about that rifle?"

"Hmm? Okay, go on."

Yuan Tianshu listened intently.

"Isn't that rifle hidden in the secret compartment under the kang (heated brick bed)?"

"Hulong"

Yuan Tianshu lifted the mattress, throwing Xilian to the ground.

It fell with a loud "thud".

Yuan Tianshu threw all the quilts on the kang (a heated brick bed) onto the ground, and then lifted the kang mat.

Sure enough, there was a hidden compartment at the end of the kang (heated brick bed).

I opened it, and there was nothing inside.

Xilian took a breath and scolded, "You impatient person, even more impatient than when you were alive! I haven't finished speaking yet, wasn't it hidden under the mat on the kang (heated brick bed) and then lost!"

"Who took it?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?!"

"Who took the little yellow croaker?"

"What yellow croaker? Where did we get fish from? You wouldn't let Liu the ferryman give me fish, and you even beat him up. Have you forgotten?"

"Did Liu the ferryman let you ferry your little yellow croaker?"

"I forgot what color it was. You snatched it and threw it away. You went to Liu the ferryman's house and beat him up. After that, Liu the ferryman avoided me whenever he saw me."

Yuan Tianshu quickly asked:

Where does Liu the ferryman live?

"At the southernmost part of the village, there's a boat in the yard... Wait, something's not right. Have you gone completely mad with grief? Don't you remember Liu the ferryman's house?"

Yuan Tianchu quickly said, "Of course I remember. Go on, tell me what else I have about Da Huan Mountain, about treasures, about paintings, about maps, and so on..."

At this point, Xilian chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yuan Tianshu felt that this woman was a bit creepy.

He seems to have gone mad; one minute he's terrified, the next he's laughing.

Xilian laughed and said, "You were really dull when you were alive, but you're quite amusing now that you're dead!"

"What do you mean?"

"You still remember our story in such detail, it's really amazing!"

"Tell me now, or I won't take you with me, or I'll strangle you right now!"

Yuan Tianshu quickly squatted down next to Xilian, listening to what she had to say.

Xilian grinned and said, "Ask me one more time."

"I'm asking you about our conversations regarding the Great Ring Mountain, the treasures, the paintings, the maps, and so on!"

Xilian sighed and said gently:

"That was when we first arrived at Jiapigou. That night, you grabbed me and said, 'Xilian, you are as majestic as the Dahuan Mountains. I want to draw a map on your body with my treasure...' Hehehe..."

Xilian laughed again as she spoke:

"You ended up wetting the bed that night, drawing a map on the mattress!"

Yuan Tianchu almost spat out a mouthful of blood:

"Fuck you, you slut, are you still playing me?"

He picked up the rolling pin and stabbed it with a "crack" sound.

Xilian couldn't help but shout:

"Oh dear, husband, you actually went for it!"

Yuan Tianchu got up and looked around for something to hit someone with, then grabbed a feather duster and lashed out with it:

"You think I'm soft-hearted if I don't teach you a lesson?"

Xilian writhed in pain.

"Honey, I'm telling the truth! How could you forget? You were still in good shape back then! You really said that you wet the bed because you drank too much that night..."

"Still dare to spout nonsense?"

Yuan Tianshu slapped her a few times and was surprised to find that this woman seemed to care more about the feather duster than the rolling pin.

Just then, his ears twitched, as if he heard a sound outside the window.

My first reaction was to quickly reach out and turn off the light.
