The fear of death made it difficult for Lu Zeyu to sleep, thinking about Bai Lu's message over and over again.
Is there something shady in this village that people are afraid of seeing?
I don't know how long it took, but the disgusting smell rushed into my nose, making me sick.
A sickly sweet smell filled the room.
The drowsy Lu Zeyu woke up immediately and groped around.
Unable to discern the direction in the darkness, I could only move forward gropingly, because the room was only a few steps away and I could touch the wall.
The hard touch of the wall did not come, but a cold touch appeared on the hand, as smooth as plastic. It seemed as if something was licking Lu Zeyu's hands.
plastic? Doll?
He quickly retracted his hands and ran behind him.
boom!
The door was kicked open from the outside, and the strong light of the flashlight shone directly on his face.
"do not move!"
Brother Wei's deep voice came, and the fierce light made it impossible to open his eyes.
Am I going to die now?
"Okay, okay. Open it."
Brother Wei sighed with disdain and said:
"It's okay, my dog ran in. Look, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid."
A black dog stood next to Brother Wei, wagging its tail happily.
"Dog, I thought it was haunted. It scared me to death."
He patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"Brother, you don't even know how scared I was just now!"
Brother Wei took out his cigarette case and smiled.
"Okay, it's okay. You can go to sleep. The car will be here in a while. Remember not to get out of bed in the middle of the night. I'll be in the north room. Call me if you need anything."
Lu Zeyu looked at the empty room and fell into deep thought. The smell suddenly disappeared, and the touch was not that of a dog's tongue at all.
That Brother Wei suddenly walked in. I'm afraid he's not normal either.
Since it has happened once tonight, I probably won't do anything again knowing that I am wary.
After thinking about it, he fell into a drowsy sleep, and it was already the next day when he opened his eyes again.
After walking out of the house, Brother Wei stood in the courtyard holding a music box in his hand.
After seeing the person coming, he smiled shyly.
"This belongs to my girl. It's broken. I can repair it and use it in case she comes back one day."
Looking at Brother Wei who looked shy, Lu Zeyu smiled and said:
"Brother Wei, how old is your daughter? Why isn't she with you?"
"8 years old, went out with her mother, will be back in two days."
Lu Zeyu looked at the style of the music box, which became more and more familiar, and said:
"My neighbor's daughter also has the same one, and she protects it very much every day."
"Really, that's a coincidence."
He looked up at Lu Zeyu, clapped his hands and said:
"Come on, let's eat."
At the dinner table, the conversation between the two continued.
"Brother Wei, does anyone usually come to this village? Has anyone entered the village recently?"
"No, who would come to this place?"
He frowned and then asked:
"Well, is there anything big going on in our village?"
Brother Wei threw the meat in the bowl to the black dog and paused after hearing these words.
There's drama!
"Dahei, stop, stand there."
Brother Wei whispered:
"Yes, why not? The tiger next door got drunk and was beaten two days ago. It was terrible."
"And, and..."
Breakfast was spent in Brother Wei's chattering gossip. Just when Lu Zeyu was about to leave, two words caught his attention.
"The Bai family lost a daughter, but she hasn't been found yet, alas."
Hearing this, he pretended to be shocked and said:
"Ah, where can we go in this wilderness?"
"Who says it isn't?"
"Brother, where is the Bai family? I'm going to check if there are any clues on my way here."
Point to the map drawn with water on the table and point here.
"Just leave like this...remember to come back before dark!"
After eating, I sat quietly in the yard for half an hour. I saw that Brother Wei had been repairing the music box and hadn't left, so he walked towards Bai's house.
Are you suspicious? Not moving at all?
After Lu Zeyu left, Brother Wei shook his head and sighed:
"I'm going to live a restless life."
"Hey, uncle, don't go. Auntie, I'm really not a bad person, uncle..."
Everyone they met along the way tried to find out everything about the village, but the villagers shunned him as if they had seen a ghost.
"No need to ask, they won't talk to you."
A voice sounded, and there was no one around.
"Stop looking, I'm here."
A drunken middle-aged man stood up from behind the wall and staggered over.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?"
Seeing someone talking to me, I couldn't wait to ask:
"Brother, why is everyone ignoring me?"
The man stared at him without speaking.
"Okay, it's okay not to answer. Then where is Lao Bai's family?"
The man still stared at him coldly.
"No, brother, you asked me to ask, but you didn't answer when I asked."
The man raised the bottle and took a sip of wine before saying disdainfully:
"I don't want anything to do with it. If they don't answer you, why should I answer it?"
He patted his pocket and said helplessly:
"Brother, I really have nothing left."
After confirming that Lu Zeyu had no money, the man sat there and patted his side.
"Okay, then you can have a few sips with me! I'll tell you if you feel happy after drinking."
Looking at the liquor in the bottle, he swallowed his saliva and said with a confused expression:
"Brother, I don't know how to drink."
"Do you think there is anyone else in this village besides me who can tell you?
? "
Looking at the bottle of wine close at hand, Lu Zeyu picked it up and took a sip.
"Drink. Remember, if something happens in this village, please report Wang Hu's name to me, so that I can help."
At night, Wei Guo looked at the drunk Lu Zeyu and quickly went up to help him.
"No, didn't you go to Bai's house? Why did you drink like this?"
"I...I...drank with Wang Hu...vomit...vomited..."
Hearing this, Wei Guo was shocked and said:
"You and Erhuzi were drinking! Come and drink water."
While feeding Lu Zeyu water, he murmured:
"Who do you think you are not good with? You have to be with Er Huzi who idles around every day and does not do his job properly..."
Half asleep and half awake, Wei Guo carried him to the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
A severe headache hit his mind, and the sound of a group of people discussing outside the door came into the house.
"Old Wei, I heard that there is a new person in your family?"
"Shh, keep your voice down so that no one can hear you."
Wang Hu chatted from the side:
"It's okay. He drank half the bottle of my wine. This kid seems to have some connection with the Lao Bai family."
A cry of surprise came.
"Ah, what does I have to do with him?"
Wei Guo replied from the side:
"He seems to be interested in your daughter, maybe not your future son-in-law!"
"Go, go, stop talking nonsense. I haven't seen my daughter for a long time."
"Do you think it will bring them here?"
"Ah! It's impossible, it's impossible, it was all agreed upon at the beginning."
There was a lot of discussion outside the door, and Lu Zeyu lay on the bed and listened carefully.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Wei Guo rushed to answer:
"Let's just stay here. One person doesn't need much food anyway. We'll just leave when the car comes."
boom!
The water glass on the bedside was knocked to the ground by Lu Zeyu, making a crisp sound.
