Chapter Seventy-Four: Strangulation
I say joy because there are many people in the village chief's family, and there are at least fifteen or six people in the three-generation family, but the recent haunting incident in the village has made people panic, and the smiles on everyone's faces are a little unnatural. But looking at the respect of the old Taoist priest is true, everyone has a yearning for the kind of "master" with unique skills.
In particular, the old Taoist priest looks a little old, and his skills are not even higher than the few Taoist priests and monks who came before!
Thinking of this, the village chief's family's respect for the old Taoist priest became more and more obvious.
And Li Lin and Sang Hong Feiyu are standard passers-by, no one cares about them, and everyone is intimidated by the old Taoist's high-level image at the moment.
Regarding this phenomenon, it is necessary to mention the demographic composition of this world, which is dominated by ordinary people, and many people have passed in this way in their lives, not to mention the wind and waves, and there may not even be a small wave. Taoist priests or other masters of special skills, including writers, became objects of reverence, sometimes even with a hint of awe.
However, if you want to think about it seriously, the status of the writer is still the most noble in the eyes of ordinary people!
Don't look at the fact that there are many academies in the world, and there are also many writers, if all the writers are scattered among the people all over the world, it may be possible to find one writer out of thousands of people. The proportions are so disparity, coupled with the fact that writers often have mysterious summoning abilities, which makes ordinary people even more respectful of writers.
At this moment, it was because Li Lin and Sang Hongfeiyu did not wear the academy's scholar uniforms, otherwise everyone's attitude would have been completely different.
And Li Lin and the others also expected the old Taoist priest to find out what was so strange about this village, so they would not identify themselves now.
"Let's bear with it, let's see what happens tonight and then make a decision. At the dinner table, Sang Hong Feiyu sat next to Li Lin, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw that Li Lin had been smiling mysteriously at the old Taoist priest.
After a few days of getting along for a short time, Sang Hong Feiyu understood that Li Lin was not a peaceful person, and she was really afraid that Li Lin would make some inappropriate moves in order to give the old Taoist priest a good look.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to be that brainless. Li Lin waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and then whispered, "I just think that old Taoist priest is very interesting." ”
"Interesting?"
"Well, he looks conceited and arrogant, but he doesn't know if he has the ability. Li Lin said with a smile: "If he is out of trouble, will he ride his old horse and fly away?"
Sang Hongfei Yu was a little speechless: "When, are you still thinking about this." ”
"It's not going to be like anything if you think about it, what do you think of this village?" Li Lin suddenly whispered.
Taking advantage of the fact that the village chief's family was surrounded by the old Taoist priest, Li Lin and Sang Hongfeiyu had already begun to discuss how to attack this haunted village.
"What do you think......" Sang Hongyu shrank back, and said with an ugly expression: "I don't know why, since I came to Xiaozhang Village, I have always had a very depressed feeling. ”
"Suppressed feelings?" Li Lin was stunned, he just felt a little chilly, and he didn't have much experience of Sang Hongfei's suppressed feeling.
"Can you be specific?" Li Lin continued.
"That's it...... It's very uncomfortable!" Sang Hongfei closed her eyes, bit her lip and said, "From just now to now, I have an urge to roar loudly, otherwise it will be uncomfortable...... The feeling of this village is terrible. ”
Li Lin thought about it and deduced two possibilities: first, it may be because Sang Hongyu is under too much pressure, which leads to emotional depression, which is normal, as long as it is properly vented, there should be no major problems.
The second possibility is that the Sang Red Fly Feather has a special physique and can sense some things that ordinary people can't perceive......
From the perspective of modern people on earth, Li Lin should believe in the first possibility, but unfortunately, this is the world of the writer.
A world of writers with incredible powers or existence.
If Li Lin's guess is correct, Sang Hong Fly Feather should belong to the second possibility—her physique is different from ordinary people, or she is more likely to perceive some unusual existence.
This information means that this Xiaozhang Village may be even more strange than imagined, at least not as calm as it seems.
"Let's wait and see, I think that old Taoist priest will definitely make a move tonight. Li Lin said in a low voice: "We will act when the opportunity comes." ”
"I see. Sang Hongfei nodded.
At the moment when Li Lin and Sang Hongfeiyu were discussing, the old Taoist priest finally got to the point.
"Mr. Village Chief, I heard that there have been deaths in your village, I wonder if you can explain in detail?" the old Taoist priest said after a deep sigh.
When Li Lin and the others heard this, they couldn't help but prick up their ears, wanting to hear what the village chief had to say.
As soon as the village chief talked about this, a flash of horror suddenly appeared on his face, and the faces of the rest of the people were similar, obviously terrified of this matter.
"In fact, this is the case, the eldest and second eldest of the Zhao family in the village died ......one after another a few days ago," the village chief said slowly: "Both of them died in the room, and they were already angry for a long time when they were found, and they were ......."
"And what?"
"And their deaths are miserable!" said the chief, and with a gesture of his eyes, the women of the chief's house brought their young children into the room.
After the children had entered the room, the village chief continued: "The eldest and second eldest of the Zhao family died in the same tragic state, both of them were paralyzed on the bed like skin and bones......
"Skinny?"
"That's right. The village chief's eyes were frightened, and he trembled: "Can the Taoist chief imagine that two usually strong young men died without any flesh at all, as if their whole bodies had been drained, and only the skin was attached to the bones......
Thinking of this picture, Li Lin and Sang Hongyu couldn't help but shudder.
Obviously, this death method is almost impossible to do artificially, so Xiao Zhangcun will classify this phenomenon as a supernatural event, after all, this is too appalling.
The old Taoist priest's face remained unchanged, he thought for a while, and continued to ask, "Apart from this, is there any abnormal situation?"
The village chief nodded without hesitation, thinking about what he was going to say for a long time, after all, so many Taoist priests and monks had come to see it in the past few days, and it was not the first time he had said this.
"At first, it was the children of the Li family who saw that there was a man in white with missing soles wandering around the village at night......," the village chief sighed and said, "At first, we were just talking nonsense as children, but then more and more people saw it, and we realized the seriousness of the matter...... Although no one in the village had an accident at that time, it was always uncomfortable to hold it in my heart. ”
"What happened later?" said the old Taoist priest with a frown.
"Later, we asked some Taoist priests to check it out, but they all said that there was no problem in the village. Coupled with the fact that the man in white did not appear during that time, we gradually forgot about it. The village chief paused for a moment and continued: "Until one day half a month ago, the boss of the Zhao family suddenly woke up in his sleep and found that there was a strangulation mark on his neck that had been pinched by his hand. ”
"Strangulation?"
"Yes. The village chief nodded and said, "At first, the eldest of the Zhao family thought that someone was playing a prank, so he didn't care, but later his younger brother, that is, the second eldest of the Zhao family, also happened to the same thing...... Although the two brothers are usually upright, their tempers are not very good, and in anger, they decided not to sleep in the middle of the night to see who is playing pranks on them!"
"Did they think someone was playing a prank?" Li Lin couldn't help but interject, his expression a little surprised.
Anyway, being pinched on the neck is no longer a prank, whether it is a man-made or supernatural event, it already has a tendency to endanger lives, and the two brothers of the Zhao family simply thought that someone was playing a prank, should they be naïve, or too naïve?
In response to Li Lin's question, the village chief smiled bitterly and said, "Both of them usually don't believe in evil, and when they first saw the man in white, they also firmly believed that someone was pretending to be a ghost......
