Chapter 98: An Unexpected Guest - Liu Sisi's Confusion

The whole shop's items were messily scattered around, obviously the work of those people from earlier.

After Liu Sisi finished tidying up the items, she took the two children and started heading home.

Passing through the market, onto the main road leading home, following the mountain bay, and turning into a dense cornfield, she was suddenly attracted by a large group of people gathered in the cornfield.

Liuping Town was a small town, and the sudden appearance of so many people on the road back to the Upper Village, along with several soldiers officers in uniform and carrying shiny big blades, meant that something had happened, and it must be a significant incident!

"Sisi, Sisi, over here!"

Someone in the crowd waved their hand, calling her.

Liu Sisi looked carefully. Wasn't that Miao Cuihua whom she had just argued with recently? What was she doing here? Most importantly, she beckoned to herself like a harmless person.

Feeling compelled, Liu Sisi gave a forced smile: "Oh, it's you. What's... what's going on here?"

Miao Cuihua ran over with her large frame and mysteriously said in response to Liu Sisi's question, "Take a guess?"

"..."

Liu Sisi pursed her lips.

"Hehe, what else could have happened for the soldiers officers to come? Someone died!"

Miao Cuihua said loudly, shouting: "I don't know what kind of outrageous thing this person did, but he was completely naked and not only strangled to death but even that thing was cut off. Tsk tsk..."

That thing?

Liu Sisi was stunned for a moment before she understood what Miao Cuihua meant, and her cheeks immediately turned red.

Miao Cuihua didn't notice Liu Sisi's reaction, and continued excitedly: "They say the man had been dead for many days and his corpse is already rotting. It was a corn farmer who came to harvest his crops and noticed a few stray dogs digging in his field. Curious, he drove the dogs away and took a closer look, only to find the dead man. He was so scared that he scrambled to the town to report it. The townspeople didn't dare to delay, and promptly reported it to the county government, which then sent people..."

As they were talking, the noisy crowd on the other side was already carrying a stretcher toward them.

A piece of black cloth, so dark that one could hardly tell its original color, covered the stretcher. A strong stench of decay emanated from it, making Liu Sisi quickly get the two children out of the way.

Fortunately, the stretcher was not headed in the direction of the Upper Village. Once on the main road, the four strong men walked towards the small town, gripping the edges of the stretcher.

On the other hand, several officers surrounded a tall man who was obviously their leader, having a quiet discussion and occasionally looking back to give instructions.

"Alright."

"Understood."

The people behind him repeatedly responded.

The leader was clearly a serious and unsmiling man, with his eyebrows locked together so tightly that a large "川" had formed between them.

When passing by Liu Sisi, he only glanced at her casually. However, when their eyes met, he suddenly shuddered and sharply stared back at her. His piercing gaze was like a steel needle stabbing straight into her heart, causing a pang of pain.
