"he left."
While answering step by step, I remembered the urgency with which Xiaode said this.
At that time, Tianming Dog sent the body of Senior Brother Liu into Xiao Lian's room and came back. The remaining body of Gu Quanming had no time to blame it on anyone. He already heard the footsteps of the villagers rushing towards him. , she simply let the Tianming Dog swallow the corpse.
Xiaode was still anxious at first, but his first reaction after seeing this scene was not fear, but suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief. He took her hand and kept telling her worriedly, "The corpse has been taken care of. If someone asks you this When it comes to a person’s situation, don’t say he is dead. Never say he is dead. Just say he is gone. He has left the village. You must say so.”
Now that she had indeed said that, the villagers who came to ask for help were all stuck.
"How can we leave?" They didn't quite believe this argument, but they felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Gu Quanming's legs didn't grow on them, and they didn't have to inform them if they wanted to leave or stay. .
"But these classmates of yours all said that he was dead and that you killed him." They still felt something was wrong.
Suman was calm, "They also said that I killed that person. Didn't they find the body in Xiao Lian's room? They are all in a group and are dedicated to slandering me. They don't like me and want to I die."
She opened her eyes and told lies, which made those classmates who were too afraid to speak out couldn't help but retort, "Then you said he left, did you watch him leave? With so many people here, you were the only one watching. arrive?"
"I did not see it."
"What are you talking about?" The male classmate who spoke was already preparing a long speech, but suddenly Suman said that she didn't see it, "You didn't see it, why did you say he left?"
Isn't this just a joke? ! His face turned red with anger.
"If you didn't see the body or the person, doesn't that mean you left?" Suman answered casually, and it was easy for people to distinguish between true and false. "Otherwise, what do you think? Where did the person go? "
The classmate couldn't answer, but his face became redder and redder. He had never heard of such a fallacy!
Finally, the village chief spoke up, "Okay, if you leave, just leave!" He frowned deeply, "But you people can't just leave like that! If you want to leave, you have to Tell us!"
While his daughter suddenly coughed loudly, the village chief paused, his tone softened a little, and his expression softened, "It's not that we won't let you go, just tell us so that we can prepare something for you to eat on the way, otherwise You have nothing to eat or drink, and you have to rely on your two legs. How long will it take before you can go out?"
He clasped his hands behind his back and said to the villagers: "You guys, don't hang around here anymore, go and find the companion they left as a group. How can you survive on the road alone in this remote place without food or water?" ? The remaining group of people, hey, let’s go look for those people who disappeared in our village last night. If they didn’t look at the bodies, they just thought that they might have gone out to play and couldn’t find their way home. .”
After sending all the villagers away, he casually called over a few half-year-old children, "You guys, don't just play by yourself, play with your brothers and sisters, tell them about the history of our Dayu Village, and help them relieve their boredom. Do you understand?"
The leading teacher subconsciously wanted to refuse, "No, it's too much trouble." It would be inconvenient for them to do any investigation with these children.
Before he could finish his words, someone grabbed his wrist tightly. It was the village chief's daughter, "No trouble."
"I"
"Take them with you."
".good."
Suman laughed from the side. It was obvious that they had so many children to monitor them for fear that they would run away, but they still wanted to refuse.
Her laughter also diverted the attention of the village chief's daughter to her, "You"
Before the village chief's daughter finished speaking, Xiao De stood up hastily and said, "Sister Xiao Huang, I'm playing with Sister Su."
Xiao Huang's eyes moved around him and Suman twice, but he didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief and quietly held Suman's hand.
Suman felt that his little hands were wet, and his palms were all sweaty. He didn't know whether it was nervousness or fear.
Other classmates went out to investigate, but she went back to her room. After all, she already knew that among those fish-headed people were her seniors. The problem now was just how to find them all.
She turned around and asked Xiao De, who had followed her back to the room, "Aren't you going to say something to me? For example, the messenger, or the Sea Girl Empress."
Judging from the way those people saw Brother Liu's body, you can be sure that they knew something and they cared about it!
And the thing that made them care, from what she saw and understood, was nothing more than two things, the messenger, the Sea Lady.
"But, but" Xiao De said with a tangled face, "The village chief won't let me say it." Also, if he said some things, he was afraid that there would be some unacceptable consequences.
"Then you just tell me some insignificant things, like, who can't be killed and who can't be messed with." Suman coaxed the child with one trick after another, "Then look at what happened today. The thing is, I almost got into trouble just because I didn’t know the rules of your village, but if you had told me, like your messenger or something, then maybe he wouldn’t have died.”
What she said made sense, and the confusion on Xiaode's face became more obvious. Finally, he sighed, "Then don't tell others that I said it."
"The messenger is the messenger of the Sea Nymph Queen. It is an existence that serves the Sea Nymph Queen and can convey the will of the Sea Nymph Queen. This is why when someone in the village disappears, everyone is anxious, but not too anxious. Everyone feels that they are being watched by the Sea Nymph Queen. It’s an honor to win.”
Suman didn't interrupt, so Xiaode continued, "The Sea Girl Empress suddenly appeared one day five years ago."
He paused and said, "We had a very big sea temple here at that time. I heard from my father that it used to be said that whenever someone went to sea, they had to worship someone who kept them safe. Later, as it was passed down from generation to generation, people no longer believed in this. As superstitious things ceased to exist, the Sea Temple gradually fell into disrepair. The day the Sea Lady appeared, the Sea Temple collapsed.
Everyone said that the temple inside was created by gods so that the real body could appear and the sea temple was no longer needed. "
"As for the people you are looking for, I did see it that day. The village chief had just brought a boatload of seafood from the sea that day. We were all helping on the beach. It was at that time that those people came to our village. , but before we had time to say hello, a heavy fog suddenly appeared on the sea, and I couldn’t see clearly. Anyway, the fog disappeared, and those people also disappeared.”
Xiao De paused and said, "Everyone said that they were recruited by the Sea Lady to be messengers. They were not allowed to mention this matter in the village for fear of being accused of promoting superstition. This is what my father told me yesterday after he beat me. "
