Dapeng glanced at Tongtong's back, turned to the Taoist priest, and asked, "How do you know Hua Cong?"
"Hua Cong's general experience has been written here by her," the Taoist priest kept his promise and handed Hua Cong's letter to Dapeng. "You should understand it almost..."
Dapeng opened the envelope hesitantly, and the moment his eyes came into contact with the text, his fingers trembled.
"It's really Hua Cong's letter... Hua Cong's handwriting..."
"Is it a letter from my aunt?" Tongtong returned to Dapeng at some point, "Can I see it?"
In the following time, the four of them sat by the bed under Dapeng's arrangement, quietly waiting for the adults and children to read letters from their relatives.
"How did you get this letter?"
Dapeng's eyes returned to the gentle and polite look they had when they first met. Tongtong's reading ability was not enough to fully understand the content of the letter, but when he saw the full text of "I love you", Tongtong also lowered his head in disappointment. .
"We have been to Lianshui Village and found the place where Huazong was imprisoned. We found fragments of the letter in the corner of the house."
The man lowered his head and rubbed the letter that had been glued back together, "In the corner... it must be hard to see..."
"Okay, the letter was found by our companions. We don't know where it specifically appeared..." Maple Sugar took out his mobile phone and found a few photos. They were all pitch black, and a human figure could be vaguely seen. "The envelope is mine. I found it with Pineapple, and these are some photos sent by the other three people, which can give me some clues."
"You..." Dapeng asked suspiciously, "Are you Hua Cong's classmates? I've never seen you before. Why do you want to investigate this matter? It's such a dark sky. Don't you know Lianshui Village is very dangerous? ? And girls..."
Several people looked at each other.
"Actually, we have been hunted by villagers," Pineapple smiled. "We discovered the secret of the village and just escaped from them last night."
"What is your purpose?"
"Save people." Xiaolan said crisply, "Save the twigs and flowers."
"There are other innocent people, people caught by the clutches of Lianshui Village." Pineapple added.
"But the twigs and flowers are already..."
"We know," the Taoist priest said, "We came here today just to ask you about Xiaozhi."
"Everyone here knows about Xiaozhi's death," Dapeng lowered his head and smiled reluctantly. "A girl from out of town committed suicide on the mountain. The news here has been rolling for several days."
Pineapple asked tentatively, "Why...why did she commit suicide?"
"Xiaozhi...has cancer," Dapeng's eyes dimmed, "Her last wish is to find her sister. You have been up the mountain, so you should know about us. That man killed Hua Cong, Xiaozhi knows After hearing the news, my whole body collapsed. Early that morning, we found out that she was missing. I was so panicked that something bad was going to happen. I searched all the shops at the foot of the mountain. We started walking up the mountain. At the halfway point, Small branches were found behind a tree on the mountainside.”
Xiaolan hesitated to say, "Excuse me, did Xiaozhi... hang himself to death?"
The man nodded, "Use her favorite white scarf..."
"Did Xiaozhi leave anything behind?" the Taoist asked.
The man's eyes flickered, "No... Xiaozhi walked away cleanly, maybe because he knew that his days were numbered. Xiaozhi never likes to cause trouble to others in his whole life..."
"You should know that the man is dead, right?"
"This is retribution," Dapeng's eyes suddenly turned vicious, and even Tongtong, who had been listening quietly, showed an expression of hatred, "He should have died long ago, and their entire village should also die."
"You know what happened in Lianshui Village, why didn't you call the police?" Pineapple asked with a frown.
The man looked up at Pineapple helplessly, "Of course we called the police..."
You only need to say half of the words and everyone will understand.
The Taoist priest stared at Dapeng and asked, "Do you know how the two people in the village died?"
"Two people?" Dapeng responded for a second, then shook his head, "I don't know, this matter came to my ears later."
has a problem.
Xiaolan looked at the Taoist Priest and saw that the Taoist Priest also noticed the contradiction in his words.
The news that two villagers were killed reached the foot of the mountain through a hawker. Dapeng claimed that he heard about it at the foot of the mountain. Why did he only know that the man was killed and not the death of another villager.
Moreover, the hawker only saw the bodies of the two people from a distance and did not know who they were. How did Dapeng know that the dead man was the one?
unless……
Maple Sugar also discovered the problem and asked Xiang Dapeng, "Are you sure? This news was brought to you by people at the foot of the mountain?"
Dapeng's eyes were not so calm, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he nodded insistently.
"Does Xiaozhi know the news?" Pineapple asked.
Pineapple asked the key point, and Dapeng became obviously restless after hearing Xiaozhi's name.
"Xiaozhi... knows..."
Tongtong quietly tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, and Dapeng took Tongtong's little hand and seemed to shake his head gently.
Dapeng is hiding something.
When Tongtong saw his father's reaction, he understood something and raised his hands to rub his eyes.
"I'm a little sleepy," Tongtong's voice was muffled, "Big brother and big sister, I'm going to sleep."
Is this an eviction order?
Everyone stood up and walked slowly out the door.
"I'm sorry, the child is sleepy..." Dapeng said as he opened the door, "But this matter has been settled. Lianshui Village is really dangerous, so you'd better not take any more risks."
"We have one last request," the Taoist priest walked to Dapeng with a sincere look on his face, "Can you lend us an item from the flower bush?"
Dapeng was confused, "What do you want from Huazong?"
"Dapeng," the Taoist priest said in a low voice, "we know that you still have something to say. Although we are very curious, we believe that you have difficulties. Our purpose, from the beginning to now, has only been one, which is to save Huacong and Xiaozhi, I know you also believe our words. Many things are not so trustworthy when told the truth. We will definitely return the things to you as they are, so just trust us again, okay?"
Dapeng stood there, obviously experiencing inner struggle.
Tongtong sat beside the bed and called softly, "Dad..."
Dapeng looked at Tongtong and the three pieces of luggage placed side by side.
"Come here."
Dapeng said and walked towards the white suitcase in the middle. Several people followed closely and saw Dapeng carefully putting the suitcase down, unzipping the suitcase, and the neatly folded clothes appeared in front of everyone.
Dapeng took out the clothes one by one. Most of Xiaozhi's clothes were white, and each piece was washed white and clean.
Finally, after taking out a coat, a snow-white woolen scarf appeared.
Everyone was stunned.
Could this be...
"You guys take it..."
Dapeng's fingertips were trembling a little as he stroked the soft fluff of the scarf, then flattened it out and handed it to the Taoist Priest.
"Xiao Zhi committed suicide..." Dapeng thought for a moment and swallowed back the rest of the sentence, "It was originally Hua Cong's scarf. After Hua Cong disappeared, Xiao Zhi has been taking it around to look for Hua Cong. I probably know What do you want to do, take this scarf with you, and if you can, tell Hua Cong that her sister, and we, miss her."
