What! ?
I stood up directly from the ground and looked at Mr. Wang in horror, with disbelief in my eyes.
Let me tell you, wasn't Chen Guzi's body found? Why is the well still full?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, if I knew, I would have solved it long ago. Why would I wait until today?
This is how to do?
If the well water overflows, all the folks in our village will have to go see the King of Hell!
I immediately thought of Wu Tinghan, so I asked Mr. Wang, have you told Wu Tinghan about this?
He nodded and said, "When you enter the coffin, tell her, so she goes up the mountain."
No wonder she was in such a hurry to go up the mountain. It turned out that she was looking for the reason.
I don’t know if I am too blindly worshiping Wu Tinghan, but after knowing that she has already started this matter, I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
And didn't Mr. Wang say before that since everyone from the Wu family is here, the matter is basically settled.
Mr. Wang said, when I talk about this matter, it is between you and your grandfather. When did I ever say that the Baili Corpse Monument is safe?
When I heard this, I was stunned on the spot. I quickly recalled the previous conversation, and then I was discouraged. From the beginning to the end, Mr. Wang really kept talking about whether I could live happily. He never mentioned a word about Chen Guzi.
I tentatively asked him, if he can even handle things between me and my grandfather, it shouldn't be easy to handle Chen Guzi, right?
As soon as he finished speaking and before Mr. Wang could answer, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Wu Tinghan walked in with that delicate and cold face.
She said, don't give me a high hat. I just walked around your village and found that things are a bit evil. Your problems may not be solved, let alone Baili, who has only appeared once in the Jiangmen. The corpse monument.
Wu Tinghan's words completely shattered the little hope I had left. I wasn't worried about whether I could survive. I was worried about the entire village. They have lived in the village carefree all their lives. There is no reason and they should not be implicated by Chen Guzi and my grandfather.
Let me tell you, you are a master craftsman who can draw souls. Are you not sure about it?
Wu Tinghan said, if it were just what you said in Laosicheng, I do know how to save your life, but the actual situation now, without me saying more, you should know that it is more complicated than what you said at the time.
Indeed, when I went to Laosicheng, the Baili Corpse Monument had basically been cracked by Mr. Wang, so no one paid attention to it, but focused on dealing with the old carpenter hiding in the dark.
But the current situation is that not only has the Baili Corpse Monument not been solved, but it is also more dangerous than before. People in the village may go to see Marx at any time, including Wu Tinghan and Mr. Wang in the village!
This is no longer as simple as one or two points more complicated than the previous situation, but dozens of times more complicated!
Let me tell you, what should we do now?
Wu Tinghan said very straightforwardly, just clean up and follow me back to Laosicheng, maybe you can save your life.
I never expected that Wu Tinghan would say such a thing, so I widened my eyes and asked her, "What about the people in our village?" Just ignore it?
Wu Tinghan said that it wasn't that he didn't care, but that he couldn't control it. Chen Siqing, let me tell you something you don’t want to hear. If it weren’t for the fact that your grandfather had some connection with me as a painter, I would have left just now and would never have come back to see you. The muddy water in your village is not accessible to ordinary people.
When I heard Wu Tinghan's words, I couldn't react for a while. Because I didn't expect that the matter had become so serious that Wu Tinghan, the darling girl of heaven, even wanted to quit.
You know, along the way, as far as I know Wu Tinghan, she is definitely a strong woman, and she is the kind of person who will fight tooth and nail to overcome difficulties without flinching.
But now, she just walked around our village, and finally decided to quit. I believe even a fool can figure out what this means.
I knew that Wu Tinghan was a professional, and with her character, she would not make a random decision on this matter, so I asked, why don’t all the villagers follow us to Laosicheng?
This is a method that Mr. Wang has rejected before, but I really can't think of other solutions.
But Wu Tinghan still shook his head and said, except for you, I can't take any of them away.
I asked hurriedly, why can't I take it with me?
Wu Tinghan said, you will know if you go and see for yourself.
With that said, she immediately left the yard.
I glanced at Mr. Wang and found that he was also confused, so I followed him out.
As we passed the yard, I asked Mr. Wang, apart from the fact that Chen Guzi was still crying after the portrait was revealed, was there anything unusual in the village?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, if you ask me, do I know?
I was very puzzled and asked him, aren't you walking in the village? You don’t even know?
He said, these days I have been visiting your grandfather's grave at night and hiding in the coffin to sleep during the day. How can I find the time to find out?
It seems that Mr. Wang has been forced to defend himself these days. I underestimated the other party's methods and thought that Mr. Wang was enough to deal with him.
I said "Thank you for your hard work" to Mr. Wang, but he waved his hand and ignored him. He said that it was useless to talk about it now. If she felt that she couldn't take away the villagers, then I guess this matter would be really serious. Can't rest.
I know Mr. Wang's worries. Like him, I am afraid of the worst outcome.
After leaving the yard, I saw Wu Tinghan walking straight towards the house not far away and slamming the door in without knocking.
Mr. Wang and I were shocked when we saw this scene and hurriedly walked up to explain to the frightened fellow villagers.
But when we crossed the threshold, we were stunned. There was no one in the yard, and the room was quiet, with no intention of anyone coming out. You know, the sound Wu Tinghan opened the door just now was quite loud. Even if he was taking a nap, he should have been awakened.
I walked up to Wu Tinghan and whispered to her, "What are you doing?" If you break in like this, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by the villagers as a robber?
Although our villagers are simple and honest, we cannot tolerate a stranger intruding like this!
As I said this, I wanted to drag Wu Tinghan out while there was no one around, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to others later.
But Wu Tinghan didn't move. Instead, he told me, "You don't have to be so quiet. If they could hear me, they would have come out long ago."
I was stunned when I heard this and asked her, what do you mean?
Before she could respond, Mr. Wang took the lead and walked towards the main room. Although I was a little confused, I hurriedly followed.
Mr. Wang first knocked on the door and called a few fellow villagers, but did not get any response. So he knocked on the door again, making a loud knocking sound, but the room was still surprisingly quiet.
I said, maybe he went to work in the fields.
Mr. Wang snorted coldly and asked, "Do you have to work on the ground at noon?" Besides, the door is not locked, so people must be inside.
After saying that, without waiting for me to refute, he left the main room, walked to the window of the room, poked a hole in the window paper with his finger, put his head over it and looked inside.
Because I had the experience of having a peephole in a hotel room door, I shuddered subconsciously when I saw Mr. Wang’s action.
I didn’t tell her about the sinister man in red who was sticking to the door panel and looking at Wu Tinghan. I was worried that she would feel as uncomfortable as me after knowing that she had stared at a sinister man with red eyes for dozens of minutes.
But when I turned my head to look at Wu Tinghan, I found that something was wrong with her expression - yes, with Wu Tinghan's IQ, when she saw that one of the Yin people's eyes was blood red, , he must have known what he had experienced before.
After Mr. Wang took a look, he immediately straightened up and took several steps back. His face turned pale, as if there was a red eye staring at him from the other side of the window.
Seeing him like this, I had a bad premonition in my heart, so I hurriedly walked over and took a look inside. Then I saw a family of three with their backs to the window, kneeling on the ground, with their backs straight. ,like a statue.
I don’t know how I felt when I saw this scene. I only know that my body seemed to be involuntarily moving back. Finally, I stepped off the steps and fell onto my back in the yard. Still don't know.
I don't know how long it took before I came back to my senses. Looking at Mr. Wang, who was as panicked as me, I couldn't even speak for a while.
Mr. Wang calmed down before me. He pulled me up from the ground, then half-pushed and half-draged me to Wu Tinghan, and told her, would it be like this?
Wu Tinghan said that when he entered the village, he said that the village was too quiet and felt a little abnormal, so I took a special look when I went up the mountain and found that there was no smoke coming from the chimney at this noon.
Wu Tinghan said that this was the end of the matter, but I already understood what she meant.
If there is no smoke coming out of the chimney, it means that no one is cooking, but not cooking during meal time is almost impossible to happen in rural areas. Based on this, Wu Tinghan judged that something was wrong with the villagers.
Let me tell you, are they all dead?
Wu Tinghan said that he was not dead yet, but he was not far away.
I didn't believe it was like this. After shaking my head and saying it was impossible, I rushed out of the yard and walked towards the other house.
After I knocked on the door for a while but got no response, I just barged in, then opened the window paper and looked inside. As a result, just like my neighbors, they all knelt on the ground with their backs to the window.
I still didn't give up and didn't believe that all the villagers were like this, so I ran to the next house and repeated the previous actions, and the result was naturally the same.
In this way, I broke into seven or eight houses one after another, and the results were exactly the same without exception.
When I returned to my neighbor's house, I was completely desperate. I sat down on the ground, looked at Wu Tinghan and Mr. Wang with dull eyes, and asked the question that Mr. Wang had asked before, why did it become like this?
Wu Tinghan and Mr. Wang shook their heads at the same time, saying that they were not sure. The former asked me, do you still think you can take them away now?
After Wu Tinghan finished speaking, I felt that the air around me suddenly became quiet.
I looked at this familiar village and the lush green trees behind the house, and an inexplicable sadness arose spontaneously, so that my eyes quickly became wet, as if tears were about to well up in the next second.
But I forced to stop the tears, then got up, patted my butt, and walked towards the yard.
Wu Tinghan asked me, what are you doing?
I smiled at her and said that I had no father or mother since I was a child, and my grandfather and I lived a very poor life. It was the villagers who often helped my family that made our small village a college student. Now that they are in trouble, I will carry them one by one, and I will carry them out of the village!
After Wu Tinghan heard what I said, he just snorted and said, if you don't want them to die quickly, it's best not to touch them.
I was already prepared for a protracted war, but when Wu Tinghan said this, I was immediately at a loss.
I asked, why can't we touch them?
Wu Tinghan ignored me and told Mr. Wang that if he, a layman, doesn’t know, don’t you know too?
Mr. Wang said that he had thought of it, but was not sure.
When Wu Tinghan heard this, he didn't say anything. Instead, he walked into the yard, caught a rooster from the chicken coop, and then told me, "Follow me."
I didn't know what she was planning, so I had to follow her towards the entrance of the village.
As mentioned before, Chen Guzi's home is at the front of our village. In front of his home is a big river, connected to the outside by a bridge.
Wu Tinghan walked to the bridge, and before he got halfway, he threw the rooster in his hand toward the outside of the village. After the rooster was free, it spread its wings and flapped desperately, flying away from us.
It was flying well at first, but when it just crossed the center line of the bridge, the energetic rooster seemed to be electrocuted by high-voltage electricity. Its body suddenly became stiff, and it fell straight from the sky and hit the bridge deck. Go on, absolutely dead.
When I saw this scene, my eyes almost popped out of my head. I turned my head to look at Wu Tinghan. Before I could open my mouth, she turned around and stood facing the village, leaving her back to me. She ignored my shock and didn't give me any explanation.
In fact, she didn't need to explain. I already understood that even if I had the strength, I would not be able to carry the villagers out of the village, because as long as they cross the center line of the bridge, they will die immediately!
I looked at Mr. Wang and said, what should I do now? You can't just watch the folks die, right?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "Don't ask me. If I had a way, I would have started taking action. Do you want you to come here and command me?"
I looked at Wu Tinghan and mustered up the courage to tell her, you must have a way to save them, right? As long as you can save them, I can do anything you want.
She turned around, looked at me with burning eyes, and said, it's still too late for you to leave with me, but if it's later, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave either.
It seemed that Wu Tinghan had decided to leave. I couldn't force him to stay in such a life-threatening matter, so he shook his head and said, thank you for sending me back, I won't leave, you can go.
Wu Tinghan frowned and said, if you stay here, you will only die.
I smiled and said, this is the place where I was born and raised. If they really are not saved, I will go with them. After all, I don’t want to have to visit their graves when I come back.
After that, I walked towards the village.
Looking at the green mountains and black tiles, thinking about every bit of life in the village, and the excitement and shock during the time when my grandfather passed away, I exhaled heavily and stopped struggling.
I was originally an ordinary ordinary person, without much ambition or ambition. It would be a good ending to just leave quietly with them.
At least, I won't be too lonely on the road to hell.
But before I took a few steps, I heard Mr. Wang’s almost flattering voice coming from behind me.
He said, "Senior Wu, do you want to try again?"
