Chapter 5: Getting Rid of the Body and Evidence
Xiao Yueye felt a little familiar and happy. He had already collected his claws deep in his soul for a long time in this child"s body because he enjoyed the safe and happy atmosphere created by his mother and the surrounding people.
After a while, the two children had slightly stabilized, but they looked at Xiao Yueye with more fear and admiration in their eyes.
The little boy suddenly said slowly: “My name is Song Hu. He is my second brother Song Lin.” His words were a stone that shocked waves!
Xiao Yueye has no feeling, but Su Jing yelled: “Song Hu? The son of the Ministry of Military Affairs Song Chuan?”
Xiao Yueye"s eyebrows raised a little surprised, he then thought when it came to being punished, it was not something the three of them could handle, it seems that the entirety of Hui County would also be skinned.
Song Hu"s face showed a trace of disdain and hatred: "I only have a mother, no father."
Su Jingyi slaps his face and says with annoyance in his head: “It"s over, it"s over.”
Xiao Yueye looked at him with a funny smile and said, “What? Are you afraid?”
Sighed Su Jing and looked up and excited, said: “Afraid of a fart! I actually killed the son of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Haha that it is really glorious. It is just that my old man will cry!”
Seeing that the two people are puzzled, he said with a smile: “My old man named Su Renyi is the county magistrate of Hui County.”
Xiao Yueye thought of how Su Renyi would react if he knew that the son of the Ministry of Military Affairs was killed in his own jurisdiction or that his son was involved in the killing. Su Renyi would probably have a heart attack.
“Song Hu, is it that your father Song Chuan, does not treat you well?” Su Jing asked carefully.
Song Hu has recovered but still resentfully said: “My mother was originally from the brothel, but because she was pregnant with me, she was made his concubine. Since I was born, my mother"s body has not been well. We have been bullied by his ladies every day but he doesn"t care. Four years ago, we threw us here and we fended for ourselves."
As he spoke, there was unconcealed hatred on his face, even Xiao Yueye couldn"t help but feel sympathy.
“So how did he come here?” Su Jing asked with a finger pointing at the dead body.
“The housekeeper from the capital city went back to his village. He was the son of Song Chuan"s favorite pet concubine and followed along to play. He came to play for three days and my mother"s body became much worse.” Looking at the corpse Song Hu gnashed his teeth.
See Su Jing, this curious baby, Xiao Yueye made a hand gesture and asked: “Well, let"s think about how to deal with this matter first. The son of the Ministry of Military Affairs was killed, I am afraid that not only we have to accompany him to our deaths but our family members as well.”
“One person does things they will uphold responsibility my mother has nothing to do with it. I am sufficient. I won"t tell them about your involvement. You can rest a.s.sured.” Song Hu patted his chest and said loudly.
“You quiet down” Su Jing patted his head and said in a hurry: “Do you think someone will believe what you said? Just sit down?! Stupid!”
“Then, what should we do?”
Su Jing also wrinkled his brow in deep thought, he looked toward Xiao Yueye.
“We don"t think about dealing with this body first! Su Jing, you take off the clothes on his body."
Su Jing looked a little disgusted and looked at the blood on the body, he hesitantly asked: “What are you doing? So disgusting.”
Xiao Yueye blinked and said: “What do you say? Let the corpse sink! Song Hu, you have to take the handle. Now that no one is around, let"s drag the body to the river.”
Su Jing gagged a few times to hold back the nausea and took off Song Lin"s robes, and then together with Xiao Yueye and Song Hu they dragged Song Lin"s body to the river.
The calm commander Su Jing and Song Hu both found a lot of stones and Xiao Yueye used Song Lin"s robes to wrap up the stones and then tied a knot in Song Lin"s body. Su Jing did not feel relieved and knotted a few times until it was a dead knot. Xiao Yueye thought about it and took the jade pendant, that was hanging on Song Lin"s body, Su Jing and Song Hu saw it and did not say anything.
Song Hu looked at the mud in the river and said with some concern: “The water on the river is so shallow that it is easy to be seen.”
Su Jing also nodded and both of them looked at Xiao Yueye.
After a bitter smile, Xiao Yueye estimated that with his current height said: “See what is the use of me? Put the clothes and shoes on the side. Let"s take a closer look at how far it can be thrown. How far is it? After the darkness falls, the flow of the river will become faster and the water level will rise. I hope that the body can be pushed further.”
Although they did not understand why they had to haul clothes, but now in the hearts of the two people, Xiao Yueye is already in the leader"s position, they hastily made up according to his instructions.
Among the three, Su Jing"s height slightly taller. He was in front of Xiao Yueye and Song Hu. The three boys stepped on the mud and dragged Song Lin"s body together with the stone bag. Because the resistance was great, the three boys used up their strength to hoist the body away. Fortunately, there was no mud in the center of the river. The water also became very deep. The slippery moss on the bottom of the river threw the body into the depths of the river.
Three children were lying on the gra.s.s by the river and panting and laughing suddenly.
After a long while, Xiao Yueyue took the initiative to reach out and said: “My name is Xiao Yueye.”
“My name is Su Jing.”
Song Hu hesitated but gratified to see the two boy"s hands stacked together and smiled: “My name is Song Hu.”
No one knows what the meaning of the three stacked hands at the time represented? But after a few years, these three hands propped up the entire sky!
After laughing for a while, Xiao Yueye said: “The clothes on our body have bloodstains. This is a good explanation. We can say that we three had a fight. The problem now is to clean up the blood on the gra.s.s.”
“It is not enough to say that we are fighting here.” Song Hu said puzzledly.
“You idiot, who can"t say if this corpse will be discovered someday, we must rule out this doubt. Song Hu, someone must have seen you leave, right? Little Ye.” Su Jing who suddenly of the problem was a little nervous.
Song Hu suddenly smiled: “No problem, I came here in the middle of the road and no one saw me. Don"t worry.”
Nodding, Xiao Yueye said: “There are a lot of blood stains over there. We first wash off the sludge on our body and then pull out all the b.l.o.o.d.y gra.s.s and throw it into the river.”
Once spoken, the three people worked together for two quarters of an hour.
Putting on their clothes, because there are no wounds on Xiao Yueye, he gave himself a few punches surprising others, he gave himself a cut on his lips with his fingernails, He let Su Jing give him punches in places he could not reach.
“Little Ye, you"re very vicious!” Su Jing said with admiration.
“Nothing much” Xiao Yueye"s eyebrows wrinkled, it really hurt “Everyone, when someone asks you say that I caught the fish and was walking back when I met Su Jing on the road. You as the son of the county magistrate wanted to grab my fish. So we had a fight. And Song Hu who was walking by saw a moment of injustice intended to help me. Later, everyone smiled and let go of enmity, all good."
Two people nodded while Xiao Yueye and ran to the shade of the tree just picked up the fish.
Su Jing pressed his cute face with a confused expression: “It seems l dead, why are you holding it?”
With a mysterious Xiao Yueye said: “This is the props we have to offer! And it"s not a waste to just go back and eat. Let"s quickly leave.”
After telling them his address, the three people took a deep breath and encouraged each other to find the path and ran to their respective homes.
