"this……"
As mentioned above, there is no denying that Han Xuedian was very smart in guessing that Zhao Ping must have an intention, but after all, he is not a god who can penetrate people's hearts. Therefore, when faced with Yang Lei's doubtful inquiry, Han Xuedian became silent. The reason is that he did not know Zhao Ping at all. Ping's intention, Han Xuedian had no choice but to say vaguely: "Don't ask about the specific intention first, you just need to know that we are in danger now. Without senior people to protect us, we don't even dare to sleep! "
"In that case, let's learn from the senior people and take turns to keep vigil. Before we returned to the room, the sister named Tang Meng told us that someone must keep vigil when we sleep." Seeing Han Xuedian change the subject, Yang Lei, who guessed that the other party must not know, also made a reasonable suggestion He thought that the suggestion was reasonable, but Ma Wenhai, who was sitting next to him, shook his head decisively before Han Xuedian: "What? Keep a vigil? How to keep a vigil? Should you come first or should I come first? What if someone falls asleep during the vigil? What should I do? What if the ghost happens to come out while I’m sleeping?”
"I, I just made a suggestion. Brother Ma, you don't need to refute it directly, right?".
Yes, since the three people present have just met each other and have a superficial understanding of each other, plus they are all newcomers, Ma Wenhai, who is worried about others keeping watch, does not agree with leaving life and death in the hands of others. Ma Wenhai does the same, and Han Xuedian also cherishes his life. He almost held the same view. Seeing that others rejected the suggestion, Yang Lei was stunned, and then said subconsciously with a bitter look on his face: "This won't work, and that won't work either. How about we run away? Anyway, the mission information said that the supernatural events are limited to here. A village, as long as we run out of the village..."
"Stop, stop, you kid, stop talking. Yes, the supernatural events are indeed limited to this village, but the message also warned that as long as someone leaves the village, the result will be obliteration. According to senior people, obliteration seems to be directly melt."
"If you want to run, run yourself. I won't run anyway."
Han Xuedian was always so 'witty and clever'. Before Yang Lei could finish his words, Han Xuedian immediately reminded him of what erasure meant. As he suddenly remembered the punishment of erasure, Yang Lei completely withered, and Ma Wenhai, who had been thinking hard beside him, also Pretending to be helpless, not knowing what to do, let's not talk about how Han Xuedian and the others will ultimately survive the night. At the same time, the scene shifts to outside the door of the room where the three of them are...
At this moment, in the dark and gloomy night, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was standing outside the door. He stood silently next to the window with his back against the wall. The man's expression could not be seen in the darkness, only the occasional reflection from his glasses. A little less obvious dim moonlight.
During the process, the man neither spoke nor moved. He just stood by the window and listened silently, listening to the conversation in the room. He listened silently for a moment, perhaps confirming something from it. After a while, maintaining an expressionless face, the man quietly He left silently. Although leaving was a fact, it was strange...
He did not go back to his room directly as expected. Instead, he lowered his head and glanced at the time on his watch before walking towards the yard. He first passed through the empty courtyard, and then went straight to the north house opposite, where the four Liu Guangshuis lived.
Arriving at the location of the north room, the man repeated his old trick. He once again leaned against the window and listened, listening to the movements in the room one by one, or in other words, listening to the well-proportioned breathing of several people as they fell asleep.
……………
Village Chief Wang is a hospitable person. As soon as it dawned the next morning, Village Chief Wang got up early and asked Xiaojuan to prepare a fairly sumptuous breakfast for everyone. Because they were busy with farm work all day long, most rural people went to bed early and got up early. Good habits, this is different from those in the city.
Although breakfast is not as diverse as in the city where you can get everything you want, at least it is pretty good in the village. In addition, most of the food in the countryside is natural and has no additives. It tastes unique, just like everyone sitting around the table in the courtyard at this moment. , everyone ate happily, while Village Chief Wang was sitting in front of the main room smoking a dry cigarette.
A few plates of vegetarian stuffed buns, a few scallions for dipping sauce, and a small pot of salty soup. These seemingly ordinary foods now exude an alluring aroma. Perhaps this is the country flavor that many city dwellers yearn for.
Time, early the next morning, 7:52.
"Come on, brother Chen, I'll give you this bun. Let's see how thin you have become. You must increase your nutrition."
"I said, Brother Chen, are you scolding me or hurting me? You don't say that in return. If you think I'm fat, just say it. Huh? By the way, Village Chief Wang, why don't you and Xiaojuan eat? We're the only ones here. I'm eating, this, how embarrassing..."
"Haha, please feel free to eat as much as possible. The old man and Xiaojuan have already eaten. We rural people eat early, otherwise we will delay our farm work."
As mentioned above, everyone was a little curious when they saw Village Chief Wang sitting opposite and not coming over. Chen Shuihong took the initiative to ask the grandfather and grandson why they didn't eat? It wasn't until Village Chief Wang said that they had already eaten that everyone gave up. Even so, Liu Guangshui, who knew that they were staying in someone else's house, still used other ways to make up for it, and began to praise the grandfather and grandson without hesitation. .
"Tsk tsk, don't mention it, this girl Xiaojuan's cooking skills are really good. Village Chief Wang, you are so lucky to have such a granddaughter."
After eating two leek buns, Liu Guangshui, who has always been a tactful person, hurriedly grinned and praised Village Chief Wang, who was leisurely smoking. At the same time, he did not forget to give a thumbs up to Xiaojuan who was rushing to the cowshed opposite. Liu Guangshui was praising Liu Guangshui. Xiaojuan, who was feeding the cows, just turned around and smiled politely, while Village Chief Wang smiled and said modestly: "Mr. Liu, thank you for your praise. We are in a rural area, not as good as you in the city. It's not okay for farmers' children to know nothing." "
"Look at what you said. Although many people can cook, what Mr. Liu just said is about craftsmanship. Sister Xiaojuan's cooking skills are enough to be a chef in the town." Facing the old man's humble smile, Song Zhi He then added to the conversation and began to sing and praise Liu Guangshui. Soon Zhou Xiaolan and Liu Lang also joined in.
If the four reporters headed by Liu Guangshui are in a good mood and are chatting with Village Chief Wang one after another, then the executor obviously has no intention of getting acquainted with and chatting. Instead, they are busy with their own affairs and are constantly giving Chen Shuihong crazy I won’t mention Chen Xiaoyao who delivered the buns. Xu is very fond of country food. Kong Ling is happy to eat by himself. Peng Hu, who has never been picky about food, is feasting nearby. If the above people are excluded, the rest will be It was a bit complicated. While everyone was chatting or focusing on eating, Tang Meng put down his chopsticks to observe the scene. As far as he could see, he saw Cheng Ying looking around like herself, while Zhao Ping was eating breakfast gracefully, but he had just joined. Han Xuedian and the other three newcomers reacted abnormally. No, no, instead of describing it as abnormal, it would be more appropriate to describe it as sleepy. I don’t know if they didn’t sleep well last night or simply didn’t sleep at all. At this moment, sitting at the table, the three of them all The circles under his eyes were dark, and he was obviously tired from yawning all day long. Seeing this, Tang Meng couldn't help but be a little surprised. He remembered that when he returned to the room last night, he had told the three of them about taking turns to keep vigil. How...
Tang Meng was not sure whether Han Xuedian and the other two slept last night, but this was not the key after all. The key was that Village Chief Wang did not show the slightest bit of strangeness. No matter how she looked at it, she did not find any trace of concealment in the old man's expression. color.
There is no doubt that the reason why Tang Meng specially observed Village Chief Wang was because of Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao. With their keen eyes, during the meeting at Liu Guangshui's place last night, the two of them noticed a dark shadow walking quietly through the yard. When they followed them outside, they discovered that the dark shadow was actually Village Chief Wang, and the other person talking to Village Chief Wang was a man named Liu Chenghai, who was also the middle-aged man who had blocked them during the day. He hid in the dark and eavesdropped for a while. Only then did they learn that a murder had occurred in the village. Not long ago, a woman named A Cui committed suicide. A Cui's death seemed to be related to Liu Chenghai and even many Qiuye Village villagers. After returning, the two told the matter The other executors learned about this, and it did cause an uproar at first. For a while, everyone expressed their opinions and considered it, and successively determined that A Cui was most likely a female ghost. The identity of the female ghost was quickly determined. Unfortunately, it was different from the one at that time. Cheng Ying and Cheng Ying were the same. Apart from guessing the identity of the female ghost, everyone could no longer analyze any additional clues. They had no choice but to look at Zhao Ping expectantly, hoping that the man with glasses could express some new opinions, but strangely However, in the face of everyone's expectant gazes, Zhao Ping, who did not participate in the discussion, remained silent, and he actually had the intention to express his personal opinions!
Based on everyone's understanding of the man with glasses, first of all, it is certain that after learning this important news, Zhao Ping will definitely have ideas, even more than anyone else thought. After all, this person's ability is there, even though the description is like this , Unexpectedly, the man with glasses didn’t say anything about life or death, and had no intention of discussing with everyone, so he made Peng Hu and others very angry. This is really irritating. Both are smart people with excellent IQs, and He Fei often talks to everyone. They discussed and discussed, but the man surnamed Zhao did exactly the opposite and ignored others at all. Even if someone asked, he would just change the subject and tell everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.
Yes, it was precisely because of Zhao Ping's silence last night and the fact that no one had discussed what had happened for a long time that Tang Meng had to look for clues on his own early this morning, observing the village chief with Cheng Ying who had similar intentions, hoping to find out what was happening in front of him. It is true that Tang Meng and Cheng Ying looked at what was found on the old man carefully, but after all, Village Chief Wang has lived for most of his life, and he can be said to be a mature man. He is obviously hiding something from everyone, but on the surface he is calm as usual, without any trace of anything. heterochromatic.
Just as Tang Cheng and the two women were secretly observing, the opposite party looked up at the sky. Perhaps they thought it was getting late and did not want to continue chatting with Liu Guangshui. Village Chief Wang put away his tobacco bag and stood up, leaving his seat, and then walked towards the cowshed. Xiaojuan asked: "Xiaojuan, have the cows been fed?".
"Well, fed."
Realizing that the old man seemed to want to go out, Liu Guangshui asked with confusion: "Village chief, what are you..."
This time, Village Chief Wang did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked into the cowshed to check the situation. It was not until he confirmed that the cattle had eaten all the forage that the old man explained with a smile: "Old man, there is still some farm work in the field. Let's go out first. Everyone has had breakfast." You can wander around the village as you like, and if you are worried about getting lost, just let Xiaojuan lead the way."
Da da da da da…
Bang!
Having said that, Village Chief Wang was about to reach out to untie the cow rope, but who would have thought that before he could untie the rope, there was a series of hurried running sounds outside the door, and then the courtyard door was pushed open. Open, and as soon as the courtyard door opened, a relatively young male villager rushed in panting, with a look of nervousness on his face except for breathing.
"Zhao Dayong, what's wrong with you? Why did you come to me so early in the morning? Don't you need to plant your land anymore?"
As the saying goes, people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Although Village Chief Wang always looks kind in front of Liu Guangshui and others, in front of the villagers, the old man still has the majesty of the village chief. At first glance, he is villager Zhao. Dayong, although Village Chief Wang was suspicious in his heart, he still did not forget to reprimand him on the surface. The old man reprimanded him majestically. Unfortunately, Zhao Dayong, who was reprimanded, completely ignored it. He just held the door frame and gasped until he could breathe again. He said loudly in a tone that was almost stuttering: "Huh! Wang, Uncle Wang, no... no, Liu Chenghai hanged himself!"
What! ! !
As soon as Zhao Dayong said this, Village Chief Wang's expression changed drastically. Xiaojuan next to him also instantly fell into a trance state. Liu Guangshui and others who were eating in the courtyard were also stunned on the spot almost at the same time. As you can imagine, Even these people were shocked, let alone the executor. In fact, as soon as they learned about this, everyone, including Zhao Ping, felt their hearts tremble, and at the same time they were enveloped by an indescribable sense of crisis. !
The reason is very simple. That's because the executor has now learned Liu Chenghai's identity, and Liu Chenghai is the middle-aged man who had a private conversation with Village Chief Wang last night. In addition, Liu Chenghai is also an important figure more valuable than Village Chief Wang. , if you want to solve this supernatural incident, Liu Chenghai is undoubtedly the person who must be contacted. In fact, everyone made up their minds as early as last night and decided to go to Liu Chenghai's house to inquire about the situation today. No matter what method they use, they will In order to get Liu Chenghai to speak and reveal all the causes and consequences of the incident, he planned to leave after breakfast, but unexpectedly Liu Chenghai died, and he committed suicide? He actually hanged himself! ?
suicide?
With Liu Chenghai's despicable character, this person would never commit suicide under any circumstances. Not only would he not commit suicide, but he was as cowardly as a mouse. In order to prevent his immoral deeds from being exposed and being imprisoned, he even forcibly blocked the road and drove away people. , it is conceivable that such a guy who is even afraid of going to jail, how could he commit suicide?
Since it was definitely not suicide, why did Liu Chenghai die?
unless……
(Damn, lost the opportunity!).
Thinking of this, apart from Han Xuegui and the other three, who were all at a loss, Tang Meng and Cheng Ying turned pale. Peng Hu, Chen Shuihong, Kong Ling, and Chen Xiaoyao all secretly thought something was wrong, and even Zhao Ping frowned subconsciously.
At the same time, in front of the courtyard.
Because the news came so suddenly, Village Chief Wang was stunned. After being stunned for a long time, Village Chief Wang suddenly came back to his senses, and then asked again in disbelief: "What? Liu, Liu Chenghai has hanged himself?"
"Yes, he really hanged himself. This is absolutely true. This morning, Wang Laosi and I went to Liu Chenghai's house as usual and knocked on the door and asked him to come to the ground together. But after calling for a long time, no one answered. Out of curiosity, I The two of them climbed over the wall and went in, and then..."
"Then we saw Liu Chenghai hanging from the beam in the kitchen!"
"Many people in the village are at Liu Chenghai's house now. Uncle Wang, you have to go over and take charge of the overall situation."
Zhao Dayong narrated the matter very smoothly, which not only made Village Chief Wang understand the reason, but also made Liu Guangshui and others excited after coming back to their senses. Yes, excited, really excited. It was already obvious that for reporters, For them, encountering this kind of thing is not a misfortune, but a ready-made excellent news!
"Walk!"
As the saying goes, life is at stake. After learning that Liu Chenghai hanged himself, Village Chief Wang did not understand why Liu Chenghai, who was fine last night, committed suicide, but it was not a small matter for someone to die in this small village. As the village chief, he should go over and take charge of the overall situation. As soon as Zhao Dayong finished speaking, he could no longer care about the cows and farming. Village Chief Wang walked away and left with Zhao Dayong. Dayong hurried out of the yard together.
"Hey! Why are you guys still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and take a look? This is a rare piece of news!"
As expected, Liu Guangshui became excited when he saw Village Chief Wang leaving in a hurry, and immediately urged everyone to leave quickly. In fact, there was no need to rush at all. Song Zhi, Liu Lang and Zhou Xiaolan, who also realized that this was excellent news, had already taken action. , before Liu Guangshui finished speaking, the three of them hurried back to the house to get their mobile phones. Obviously, in order to conceal their identities as reporters, these people did not dare to take larger camera equipment, and instead chose mobile phones that were smaller and easier to hide. As a photography tool, in addition, the four reporters' plan to go is exactly in line with the executor's wishes. After all, they have stayed in the cursed space for a long time. No matter who they are, everyone knows the importance of investigating clues. Even if Liu Chenghai is dead, who can And can we ensure that no traces will be left on site? Maybe we can find some clues from the scene or the corpse. The only difference is that Liu Guangshui and others went there for news, but the executioner did it to survive, to stay in this terrifying village for five days. persevere until the end!
Next, under the leadership of Liu Guangshui, everyone set off collectively and rushed to Liu Guangshui's home in the south of the village.
but……
When he was about to run out of the hospital, perhaps prompted by intuition or something in his heart, Tang Meng, who was left behind, subconsciously turned around and glanced back at Xiaojuan, who had been dazed since hearing the news of Liu Chenghai's death.
Looking closely, he saw that Xiaojuan was still in a daze in the courtyard, standing there with no reaction at all with an expression that seemed to be in a trance. However, suddenly, Xiaojuan, who had a dull expression just now, smiled, and the corners of the girl's mouth raised, Showing a faint smile that was not obvious.
The smile was filled with relief, as if a great revenge had been repaid with joy and joy.
(Sister A Cui, have you finally come back for revenge?)
Tang Meng inadvertently took in Xiaojuan's less obvious and cheerful smile. Seeing this, Tang Meng was thoughtful, and at the same time, an idea quickly formed in her mind. Finally, Tang Meng finished her observation and ran out.
10 minutes later, inside a house in the south of the village...
The house, which was not originally a big one, was currently overcrowded. Many villagers from Qiuye Village were gathering in the courtyard. Almost half of the villagers were here. For a while, the villagers were talking about it, but no matter how they talked about it, , but the topic always revolved around one person, Liu Chenghai, the owner of this private house. During the conversation, some people's faces showed a little uneasiness.
Yes, the villagers don't understand and can't understand why Liu Chenghai committed suicide? And the method of death is still the most nerve-wracking method of hanging. This method of death reminds everyone of the previous death of A Cui, because the original A Cui also committed suicide by hanging!
The scene shifted to the interior of the house. Like the courtyard, the kitchen was also crowded with people. In addition to the villagers, the executors headed by Zhao Ping and four reporters including Liu Guangshui were also at the scene. At this moment, they and the villagers next to them They all looked up with different eyes and stared upwards. Following their gazes, they saw the miserable corpse of a man hanging from the beams of the room. That was...
Liu Chenghai is none other than Liu Chenghai who has died long ago! .
He died miserably, really miserably. Not to mention the horrific face that was already turning blue on the body, the many filth remaining on the lower body alone were enough to prove that the man was in great pain when he died and must have gone through a violent struggle, and this The scene really frightened the onlookers. Although Liu Chenghai was said to have committed suicide, after seeing his death, I believe no one thought it was suicide. However, the blame lies here. There were obviously many people at the scene. They were convinced that Liu Chenghai did not commit suicide, but no one raised any doubt during this period. It was as if it was tacitly understood. All the villagers in Qiuye Village, including the village chief Wang, collectively acquiesced that Liu Chenghai committed suicide.
Fortunately, nothing is absolute, and the villagers collectively acquiesced in committing suicide. However, the four reporters who were foreign tourists obviously had objections, especially Zhou Xiaolan, who was the latest to join the industry. They pinched their noses and observed for a moment. After confirming that the man had definitely not committed suicide, Zhou Xiaolan She planned to raise questions. Although she was outspoken and planned to ask questions, reality did not give her a chance. The reason was that before she could open her mouth, Cheng Ying, who was nearest, quickly reached out and secretly tugged on the corner of Xiaolan's clothes next week.
(Um?)
When she noticed her clothes being pulled, Zhou Xiaolan turned around instinctively. When she looked back, she saw Cheng Ying staring at her and shaking her head slightly.
Seeing Cheng Ying shaking her head to signal not to speak, Zhou Xiaolan couldn't understand it for a moment, but after seeing Liu Guangshui and others also being silent, even though she was confused, Zhou Xiaolan had no choice but to shut up, and a thought came into her mind. Vague thoughts.
(What happened to the people in this village? It’s obviously not like they committed suicide, but why...)
