"There's something wrong. Although we don't know what Yingying did behind our backs, such a large amount of blood is far beyond what a normal person can shed. Even if she accumulates a little, it won't be possible!" Sister Bai said in a confused tone. Started to rush.
I was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Sister Bai, if it doesn't work, I'll go to Yingying's hometown again to find out what all this is about!"
Regarding Li Yingying, the only place where we can find clues is in her hometown.
I put almost all my hopes here.
Sister Bai took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "Okay, let Xia Rou go with you. I'm looking after the shop at home. The fortune-telling business in the shop cannot be left behind. Someone must take care of it first."
"Okay!" I nodded and agreed.
I booked a flight to the north directly the next day.
All in all, this is the third time I have been to Li Yingying’s hometown.
The first time, I bumped into Li Yingying's grandfather by chance and was rescued by him, thus bringing Li Yingying out from deep in the mountains.
The second time was when she came here a few days ago to inform her grandfather about the death of Li Yingying.
But this time, we want to find out what happened in Li Yingying’s death...
Things in the world are impermanent. Every time I come here, it seems that hope is mixed with despair, just like flowers blooming at dawn, rising and falling, blooming in a hurry.
After getting off the plane, I called a car and took Xia Rou to Li Yingying's hometown.
When Xia Rou saw such a barren mountain along the way, she couldn't help but burst into tears, saying that Li Yingying had been so pitiful all her life. She had been living in this mountain and died without even having a good life.
Although I felt uncomfortable about this, I didn't show it.
After all... a person's life is only a few decades, and everyone has his own way of living.
Just like me, I almost spent the first half of my life wandering on the edge of life and death, and in the second half of my life, there was almost no big change.
Life and death seem to have been seen through for a long time, but they are not taken lightly.
The car drove for two or three hours and finally arrived at the previous village.
When I got off the bus at the entrance of the village, I looked up and coincidentally saw the old man I had asked the question before.
I enthusiastically took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket and walked up, opened it, took out one and handed it over, smiling, "Brother, what a coincidence, we met again!"
What I didn't expect was that the old man's eyes were a little evasive, and he seemed to be resisting communicating with me. He didn't even take the cigarette that was offered to me.
I retracted my hand in embarrassment and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, did something happen to you?"
"Little brother, it's not that I reject you. You see, this is your second time here. Last time, because of the affairs of Li Dashan's family, I was scolded by the old man when I went back, saying that I was nosy. Come on, if I talk to you again, I won’t make our old man angry right away!” The old man smiled bitterly and explained to me.
I took the opportunity to ask a few more questions, and then I found out that this old man had an old father who was nearly a hundred years old, and he happened to be the master who taught Li Dashan how to hunt...
I took out a hundred yuan in cash from my pocket, stuffed it into the old man's pocket with a smile, and said, "Uncle, can you take me to see the old man? I mainly want to ask about Li Dashan's family. Do you also want to ask about it?" You know I’ve already made this trip for the second time, and I won’t give up until I figure this out!”
The old man's face froze, and he hesitated for a long time before stuffing the hundred yuan in cash into his pocket, gritting his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see you, but as for whether the old man sees you or not, that has nothing to do with me. hold head high."
"Okay, no problem!" I nodded quickly and pulled Xia Rou to follow the old man.
We walked along the road for two or three minutes.
Arriving at a dilapidated house.
Opening the door and looking inside, you can see an old man with white hair and beard lying on a deck chair in the middle of the yard, leisurely basking in the sun.
Seeing us coming in, the old man opened his eyes instantly and glanced towards us.
This sharp look made me startled.
As expected, he was an old hunter for decades, and his eyes alone were not something that ordinary people could possess.
"You go in by yourselves. It has nothing to do with me whether I keep you or not." The uncle whispered to me, turned around and left here as if he was fleeing.
My face froze, I shook my shoulders, and walked into the yard with Xia Rou.
But as soon as he entered the yard, the old man on the recliner suddenly shouted, "Stop!!!"
When I heard this, I immediately stood at the threshold.
Xia Rou nervously tugged at the corner of my clothes and whispered, "Lu Ming, this old man has some bad intentions."
"We are the ones here."
I lowered my head and replied, then raised my head and continued to look at the old man.
This time I came to Li Yingying's hometown. If I don't find out what happened to her, I will never close my eyes until I die.
Not to mention a hundred-year-old man, not even ten can stop me from investigating this matter.
The old man stood up with a cane dangling unsteadily, walked five meters in front of me, looked at me like a knife, and said slowly, "If I guessed correctly, you should Is it the young man who asked Li Dashan when I came here last time?"
"Yeah, I am." I admitted without hesitation.
The old man was silent for a moment and said, "Go back. Li Dashan's affairs are not something that a young boy like you can understand."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Uncle, this matter is very important to me. If I don't find out...I would rather stay at your door for the rest of my life."
It was the first time in my life that I acted rogue.
The old man in front of him had obviously never encountered this kind of situation, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times.
His eyes darkened slightly and he asked, "Why are you asking about him?"
"Because his daughter..."
I told the story about Li Yingying, and at the same time, I also told the story about Li Dashan who saved me.
But what I didn't expect was that the old man in front of me didn't make any move after hearing this.
This is obviously inconsistent with what I imagined.
Since they said that Li Dashan died eighteen years ago, logically speaking, when they heard me say that they met Li Dashan a year ago, they should have shown an expression of disbelief or shock, but in front of me The old man's expression seemed to be taken for granted...
After the words fell, he still had the same attitude
"Go back. I can only tell you that Li Dashan's family did not die unjustly. Even if I die here, I will not tell you what happened back then!"
My back felt cold after hearing this. Is there really nothing I can do?
At this time, Xia Rou walked up with her handbag, stretched out one hand to hold the old man's arm, and reached into the bag with the other hand to take out about two or three thousand cash, stuffed it into the old man's hand, and said, "Old man, please do me a favor. This matter is indeed very important to us."
The old man's eyes obviously widened, he pursed his dry and flaky lips, tightly grasped the wad of cash, and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to say..."
