He had a feeling that things would not end so easily. In order to calm down the uneasiness in his heart, he also suggested that the villagers collectively go to worship at A Cui's grave, or that everyone pays to hire some monks. Taoist priests came to the village to perform rituals, but unfortunately, in the face of Lao Zhao's suggestion, how could the villagers who were busy with farm work have the time to do this? Even Village Chief Wang, who had a good relationship with him, said that he was neurotic. Seeing everyone rejecting them, Old Zhao had to give up. So far, the matter has been unresolved. It seemed that it was unresolved, but who would have thought that only one month had passed. Month, the thing that worries Lao Zhao the most happened...
Liu Chenghai died, he committed suicide without any explanation or reason, and the way of his death was exactly the same as that of Acui!
Is this a coincidence? Even if it's a coincidence, is Liu Chenghai the kind of person who has the guts to commit suicide? Living in the same village, who among us doesn’t know who? Leaving others aside, Liu Chenghai will never commit suicide. Since it is not suicide, the result can only be retribution, some kind of irresistible retribution.
"Old Zhao, I know you believe in God. In fact, there is nothing wrong with respecting heaven and earth. But why do you blame A Cui for Liu Chenghai's death? Don't forget that A Cui died a month ago. , how can a dead man kill someone?"
As soon as Village Chief Wang finished his scolding, the old man with a military cap on the opposite side also retorted. Seeing the two old friends retorting at the same time, Old Zhao didn't speak this time. He didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just Shaking his head and sighing, he finally got up and left his seat to say goodbye.
"Hey, forget it, it's happened. There's no point in saying anything now." After sighing helplessly, Lao Zhao shook his head and left. In the hall, looking at the back of Lao Zhao walking farther and farther outside the door, he didn't know why. Although they refused to admit Lao Zhao's retribution story, during the gaze, whether it was Village Chief Wang or the old man in a military hat, both of them couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, their faces were ugly, and their hearts were quietly covered with a layer of sadness. A lingering, rich shadow.
After being silent for a long time, the old man in military cap turned around, glanced at the corpse in the kitchen, and then mentioned the old story to Village Chief Wang: "Old Wang, then this corpse..."
Seeing the old man in the army hat talking about business, he frowned. Village Chief Wang ordered Zhao Dayong, who was listening the whole time: "Dayong, put the body down first, and then go to Carpenter Tian's house and ask him to make a coffin for Jian Jian. Remember, You have to act quickly, after all, it’s only October, and the body cannot be left for a long time. The village will organize the funeral in a few days.”
"But, village chief, my work in the field today will be like this..."
"Don't worry, I'll say hello to Wang Laosi and the others soon and ask them to help you with your work."
Staring at Liu Chenghai's miserable corpse, Village Chief Wang made arrangements in an orderly manner. While arranging, his eyes became more and more nervous as he looked at the corpse...
5 minutes later, north of the village.
"Zhao, Mr. Zhao, are you back?"
After running all the way, the executor finally returned to the village chief's house. As soon as they entered the door, everyone saw Xiaojuan washing dishes and vegetables in the courtyard. Xiaojuan was surprised when she saw a group of people running back. She originally thought These people would wander around the village. Unexpectedly, they came back so soon. It didn't matter that they came back. Now they all looked nervous. Seeing this, Xiaojuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. She greeted everyone with a confused tone at first, but she didn't wait. She continued to speak, and at Zhao Ping's signal, Tang Meng stepped forward and said to her in an unprecedented serious tone: "Xiaojuan, tell me, tell us everything about Acui!"
……………
This sentence was said very suddenly, and Xiaojuan was stunned on the spot. For a moment, the girl looked at Tang Meng in astonishment, and Tang Meng looked at each other. After a long time, Xiaojuan showed suspicion and said tentatively: "You, you guys..."
"We are reporters. Don't worry about why we are looking for you. You only need to know that we have the ability to help you. If you want A Cui to redress his injustice, we can do it and let everyone in the world know about A Cui. of injustice.”
The journalist status bestowed by the curse came into use at this moment. Before Xiaojuan could finish her words, Tang Meng took out her press ID. Although she couldn't tell whether the ID in front of her was true or false, somehow, after hearing about the other party's After becoming a reporter, Xiaojuan's emotions gradually became excited. At this time, she seemed to have forgotten everything. She no longer cared about the presence of many people in front of her. She just lost her temper and twitched her face, muttering to herself: "Ah Sister Cui, Sister A Cui, the truth about your grievances is about to be revealed, and the villagers will finally pay the price for their insults to you..."
A few minutes later, in Xiaojuan's personal bedroom, the girl unreservedly told Tang Meng and other executors everything she knew about Atui's death.
"Sister Atui and I are good friends. To me, she is like a sister who has always been with me. I am very happy to know her. At the same time, Sister Atui is also a very optimistic and cheerful person. She can bear a lot. Despite the blow and misfortune, even though her parents passed away a few years ago, Sister Atui still lived a strong life alone. I admire this very much, until, until that happened..."
Under Xiaojuan's methodical narration, everyone learned that A Cui was raped by a dog thief. In fact, after the incident, A Cui was still strong, and her unique tough character did allow her to endure it. Unfortunately, blows came one after another. Although A Cui withstood the unexpected blow and she was concerned about her reputation and did not make it public, unexpectedly, a bachelor named Liu Chenghai in the village found out about it for some reason. Despite Liu Chenghai's usual life, In the eyes of outsiders, he is honest and kind, but in fact he is a gangster. Cui is one of the few people who knows Liu Chenghai's true nature. This person is very greedy for A Cui's beautiful appearance. In addition, Cui is alone without a father and mother. Liu Chenghai has been He teased Ah Cui many times when no one was around. Fortunately, Ah Cui had a strong personality and was able to drive Liu Chenghai away every time. Liu Chenghai had indeed not taken advantage of Ah Cui all this time. Xu finally found an opportunity. After learning that Cui was raped by a dog thief, Liu Chenghai found Cui privately and wanted to blackmail Cui into having a relationship with her. Liu Chenghai was sure of winning, thinking that Cui would obey, but he always had a strong temper. How could A Cui let him succeed? Faced with the threat, A Cui did not compromise, but directly fought Liu Chenghai.
"Seeing that Sister A Cui was not threatened at all, Liu Chenghai held a grudge and frantically began to publicize the incident of Sister A Cui's violation in the village! With Liu Chenghai's publicity, the whole village knew about it. From then on, everyone in the village The look in Sister A Cui's eyes changed, becoming cold and full of contempt. Rumors began to torture her nerves. From then on, Sister A Cui became depressed. She went out less and less often, and her personality changed. He gradually became withdrawn, even ate very little, and lost a lot of weight in just half a month."
"As Sister Atui's best friend, I didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until Sister Atui admitted it personally and told me the cause and effect that I finally realized Sister Atui's pain, but so what? After all, it was not Sister Atui's intention. It was just a trick of fate, so I started to comfort Sister Atui, and I would bring food to Sister Atui's house to stay with her every day. I wanted to encourage her and try to cheer up Sister Atui. As time went by, I What I did gradually had some effect. With my encouragement and comfort, Sister A Cui started to eat and started to go out to do farm work. But unfortunately, before I could cheer up Sister A Cui completely, maybe she was forced by the villagers. Due to the pressure, my grandfather actually banned me from going to see Sister Atui, locked me up at home, and prohibited me from having any contact with her."
"Although I was very dissatisfied with the grounding, I still firmly believed that even without my encouragement, Sister A Cui would be able to cheer up. That's what I thought at first, but what I never imagined was that in my wildest dreams, she would be able to cheer up. When Sister Atui was in the most pain, someone actually pushed her directly into the abyss."
"It was the evening a month ago, when Sister A Cui went to chop wood in the woods behind the village, she, she was given to..." by that beast Liu Chenghai..."
"It happened that I sneaked out of the house that evening, planning to go see Sister Atui in the dark. Although I didn't find her at home, based on my understanding of her, I still went to the woods behind the village to look for her. However, when I arrived When we were in the woods, I saw her being fucked by Liu Chenghai... Looking at that picture, I was scared, extremely scared..."
"I hated myself, I hated myself for being too cowardly. At that time, my whole mind went blank and I was completely shrouded in fear. I filmed, very scared! I was afraid that Liu Chenghai would find me and take me too... so I ran away, and there was no After telling the story, I ran away all the way back home, and it wasn't until the next day that I learned the bad news that Sister Atui actually hanged herself in the woods!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Finally, after narrating the cause of Atui's death to the reporters in front of her, Xiaojuan's eyes burst into tears and she cried so hard that she completely released her pain, regret, hatred and even guilt, etc., and these emotions They are also always surrounding this girl. Yes, while Xiaojuan blames herself, she also puts a lot of hatred on Liu Chenghai and the villagers. In the girl's personal opinion, if Liu Chenghai is the initiator of A Cui's suicide If compared to the biggest murderer, then the entire villagers of Qiuye Village are all accomplices. These people added insult to injury when A Cui was most vulnerable. Not only did they not care to comfort A Cui, but instead insulted and ridiculed her. They looked at A Cui with all their eyes. It was indifference and contempt. It was these people who killed A Cui in disguise. Every time she thought of this, Xiaojuan could always feel the ruthless coldness of human nature. This was a cold village, and it was even a disgusting village! .
It's a pity that Xiaojuan is just a young girl, an ordinary girl with very little courage. She neither dared to stand up for Acui nor told Liu Chenghai's beastly behavior, so she only told her about it. Grandpa, Village Chief Wang, thought he could clear up A Cui's grievances, but he didn't expect that Village Chief Wang also chose to keep it a secret and even asked her not to talk nonsense. Of course, Xiaojuan didn't know the reason why Village Chief Wang let Liu Chenghai go. There are many complicated factors involved. During this period, I was not only thinking about the friendship between myself and Liu Chenghai's father in the past, but also thinking about turning big things into small things. After all, this kind of thing affects the reputation of the village too much. Once word spreads, the entire village will be affected. Qiuye Village will become the laughing stock of villages all over the country. As the head of a village, Village Chief Wang has his own concerns. He has many concerns from the leadership level, but Xiaojuan is very disappointed. In desperation, Xiaojuan can only hide all this deeply in her heart and pretend not to know anything. Although it is like this on the surface, Xiaojuan is always painful in her heart. Full of hate!
And this is also the real reason why after learning about Liu Chenghai's death, all the villagers, including the village chief, felt uneasy, but only Xiaojuan smiled. Perhaps in Xiaojuan's personal consciousness, she had already forgotten Liu Chenghai. Death is regarded as retribution, and he even thinks that A Cui has come back for revenge!
The above is all the past narrated by Xiaojuan, telling everyone the complete story of A Cui's death. Next...
Tang Meng was stunned, Cheng Ying was stunned, everyone including Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao, Kong Ling, Li Tianheng, Chen Shuihong and Zhao Ping fell into a daze when they learned the whole story of the incident. Even the newcomer Han Xuedian The three of them almost looked surprised. Not to mention what the others were thinking at the moment, Peng Hu went into a rage the moment he learned the truth. His whole body was filled with rage. His forehead was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth. While holding on tightly, he cursed angrily: "Damn it! A good girl was forced to death like this!"
"It's true that this stupid village is not a good bird! It's a pity that this bastard named Liu Chenghai died early. If he hadn't died, I would have chopped him up with my own hands!"
As the one with the most fiery temper and a strong sense of justice in the team, as soon as he learned what happened, Peng Hu showed anger and gritted his teeth, madly cursing the villagers and the dead Liu Chenghai. If Peng Hu is the first person to get angry , then Li Tianheng and Kong Ling were the second ones to show their anger. At this moment, Li Tianheng clenched his teeth and had an angry look on his face, while Kong Ling's cute face had already been filled with gloom. As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, the girl followed closely Then she said faintly: "Uncle Baldhead, you are wrong. It would be too easy to chop him to death with a knife. You should tie him up and slow him down. If possible, I would like to use the knife myself to cut off his flesh piece by piece." ,hey-hey……"
Kong Ling said something sinister in an extremely rare tone. His mood seemed to be far less volatile than Peng Hu's, but what he said was enough to make anyone feel chilly, especially when it came from a beautiful girl. Saying this, the shock it brought was simply indescribable. When the girl said this, many people were shocked. Han Xuedian, Yang Lei and Ma Wenhai, who had just joined the team, were even more shocked and stunned. As for the instinct to take a few steps away from Kong Ling, I didn't expect that the cute girl in front of me would have such a dark heart. Not only could she think of inhuman torture like Ling Chi, but she even planned to cut someone with a knife herself! This, is this girl really evil in her heart?
Fortunately, senior people are more aware of the characteristics of Kongling's distorted views and always vicious behavior, and are accustomed to it. At the same time, this is not the focus of everyone's attention at the moment. In fact, anger is only secondary, and what really matters to everyone at the moment is...
Danger!
Increasing danger of death!
Just like now, after quickly integrating a lot of information in their minds, Tang Meng and Cheng Ying, who were the quickest to react, sweated on their foreheads unconsciously. Soon, Li Tianheng and others who had figured it out turned pale one by one, especially Chen Shuihong. , I don’t know what he gradually realized while thinking, but the fat man shivered involuntarily, and the fat all over his body swayed with his body. At the same time, Cheng Ying hurriedly looked at Zhao Ping, and when she looked back, she saw the man with glasses saying: I don't know when I frowned, my eyes covered by lenses narrowed slightly, and I subconsciously said four words:
"Till death."
(Um?)
Everyone couldn't help but be curious when they heard the bespectacled man say an incomprehensible word. Cheng Ying immediately asked from the side: "Until death? You mean..."
Zhao Ping did not answer Cheng Ying's question, but glanced at Xiaojuan who was crying with her head down opposite. Seeing this, everyone understood and walked out of the room while Xiaojuan was crying.
Arriving at the yard, after confirming that only the executor was left, the man adjusted his nose and glasses while slowly turning his head to Chen Xiaoyao, who was the only one present who was in a calm mood and said: "As a Taoist priest, I think you should be better than I understand the overall current situation better, right?”
"Hey! As expected of the omnipotent Senior Zhao, you understand me!"
As soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, Chen Xiaoyao, who seemed to have been looking forward to the performance for a long time, suddenly smiled with satisfaction. He first flattered the other party, then flicked his sleeves, so he nodded as if he was a master and said: "Well, of course I understand. , after all, we are also the direct disciples of the Maoshan Sect. If we can't even figure out something, then I don't have to continue to hang out in the Xuanmen world. You know, we are..."
"Tell the important point."
"Ah, okay, okay, I'll say it right now, I'll say it right now..."
Under the warning from Zhao Ping's suddenly cold voice, Chen Xiaoyao was so frightened that his calves twisted and he didn't care to continue talking nonsense. He nodded frantically and talked about the key point: "Ahem, in fact, the current situation is already very clear. The dead A Cui turned into a ghost, a ghost that obviously wanted to take revenge on the whole village. I guess I don’t need to explain the ghost anymore? This kind of spirit is at least a hundred times more powerful than a ghost. In the face of ghosts, humans and ghosts There is no difference between chickens, even a Taoist priest from Maoshan like me who has certain moral standards will definitely hide away when he sees them, but!"
After saying this for a while, Chen Xiaoyao continued with a serious expression under everyone's suspicious gaze: "However, although the ghost this time is a fierce ghost, it is actually very likely to be different from ordinary ghosts."
"Everyone knows that there are many ways for ghosts to advance. Although there are many types, the whole thing is supported by resentment. That is to say, the stronger the hatred when a person dies, the more powerful the soul will be after death. By the way Kong Ling, when you were observing at the entrance of the village before, in addition to the hanging female ghost, you seemed to have also seen a red mist covering the village, right?"
"Well, there is indeed a red mist covering the village." Faced with Chen Xiaoyao's deliberate inquiry, Kong Ling answered truthfully, but then quickly changed the topic and said suspiciously: "But it's strange. In my personal impression, the ghost's resentment It’s always black, and often in the form of black mist, but this time the mist is actually red?”
Seeing Kong Ling's affirmation, on the opposite side, Chen Xiaoyao ignored the girl's subsequent doubts and said again without stopping: "It seems that my guess is correct. The red mist does exist. If this is true, then things will be a bit tricky."
"Tricky?"
After hearing this, everyone, including Kong Ling, showed a puzzled expression. Some of them couldn't figure out what Chen Xiaoyao was expressing. Among them, Li Tianheng was the most direct. In line with the principle of asking if you don't understand, the young man stared curiously and said : "Troublesome, why is Hongmist so troublesome? Isn't Hongmist just resentful?"
"It's resentment. It's the same as the black mist mentioned by Kong Ling. In fact, the red mist is also resentment, but the difference is that the nature of the red mist is different from that of the black mist!"
Xu Shi wanted to keep the story short. After casually admitting that the red mist was still filled with resentment, the next moment, Chen Xiaoyao's expression changed again, from a serious face just now to a face full of bitterness. Finally, he said something that shocked everyone. :
"Although the red mist can be regarded as resentment, it belongs to the resentment after advanced level. It is a whole level higher than the black mist. Ordinary ghosts will never be able to release resentment of this color. Only ghosts who have reached some ultimate peak can. Possess red resentment!”
Ding!
There is no reason, no reason. Just after Chen Xiaoyao said those words himself, everyone on the other side, except for the newcomers, felt their hearts were high. Everyone who had some experience in the task all changed their expressions. Except for their faces, which turned pale, they suddenly felt bad. , Cheng Ying frowned, and at the same time asked tentatively in an uncertain tone: "Could it be a peak-level ghost?"
The so-called peak-level ghost refers to a form that a ghost evolves through killing or other methods. To put it bluntly, it is a high-level ghost, a ghost whose strength is higher than that of regular ghosts, although its nature is still limited to that of a ghost. category, but the strength has already approached a higher level, and is only one step away from a qualitative change. Chen Xiaoyao has analyzed peak-level ghosts for everyone before, and the executor has also encountered peak-level ghosts. Because of this, he is listening After Chen Xiaoyao's words, everyone would be frightened, and Cheng Ying would realize something, so she asked Chen Xiaoyao if this was the peak level of the devil.
I thought that Chen Xiaoyao would definitely nod directly, but what surprised Cheng Ying and everyone was...
After Cheng Ying finished speaking, opposite Chen Xiaoyao nodded first, and then shook his head. Only when everyone's confused expressions became more obvious, Chen Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, and then said something to Cheng Ying:
"What you said is both right and wrong. From a broad perspective, this female ghost is indeed a peak-level powerful ghost. But if we use Red Mist as a reference, then this female ghost belongs to the pinnacle of peaks and has reached the peak level. I have reached the ultimate peak that Li Gui can reach, and there is only the last half step left to advance again!"
