Chapter 40: The Well

Wufu's heart is very entangled, he wants to do his best to save Du Juan, but he knows that there is nothing he can do, he can't help Du Juan escape from the village, and even when it is dawn, his house will no longer be a safe place, what should he do at this time?

The cuckoo saw the embarrassment of Wufu. She gently put her hand on Wufu's shoulder and said softly: "Brother Wufu, although I haven't had much contact with you, I know that you are a good person, you have helped me a lot, and I have to fulfill my dream by myself." ”

"Don't worry, Cuckoo. I'm going to send this letter to you even if I'm dead? Wufu said firmly.

The cuckoo covered Wufu's mouth and said, "Don't say death, it's not you who should be damned, you have to listen to me, no matter what happens, you have to live well, you know?" ”

As the sky dawned, the cuckoo stood up, and she took one last look at Wufu, the only good person she had met in Baihu Village. The cuckoo turned around and opened the door and walked out, where Wufu stood and he didn't know what he should do now.

The villagers who tossed all night would be tired enough, if it weren't for Zhang Shufen's words that the reward for catching the cuckoo was 500 yuan, other villagers except those backbones would not have worked so hard. The villagers almost poured out of the nest, and almost every family sent people, and some even came out in shifts in the middle of the night, but they didn't find the escaped cuckoo after tossing all night.

Zhang Shufen was really anxious, she was sitting at home gritting her teeth fiercely, her angry hands were shaking all the time, the cuckoo ran away at this juncture, why did she run? What is the purpose of running at this time? What if the investigation team arrives in the village tomorrow and the cuckoo suddenly appears? Zhang Shufen had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

The searchers came back in waves, and those who went out of the village to search came back and said that they drove for more than ten miles, but they didn't see anyone at all. The searchers in the village also came in batches to report that they had not found the cuckoo, and they searched every corner of the village but did not find the cuckoo.

Zhang Shufen thought to herself that the cuckoo must have taken advantage of the night and heavy rain to hide in a corner of the village, in this case, it is indeed not easy for a person to hide, but once it is dawn, it is not so easy for the cuckoo to hide. In any case, the cuckoo must be caught before the investigation team enters the village, whether she lives or dies, although she is now pregnant with the Li family's child.

After the cuckoo left Xu's house, she looked around, there were still people shaking in the distance, the cuckoo leaned down and walked forward on tiptoe, and at this time there was a glimmer of dawn in the sky. The direction of the cuckoo is the Li family, but she has to make sure that she will not be caught on the way.

The cuckoo walked cautiously, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and when the cuckoo passed through a few more houses and arrived at Li's house, he only heard someone shouting behind him!

"Is there a man? Someone! A boy of eleven or twelve spotted the cuckoo, and he cried out loudly, and this sound pierced the sky of dawn, and everyone nearby gathered around the sound.

The cuckoo didn't have a chance to think about it, because she knew that sooner or later she would be discovered, and at this time she had to run hard to run back to Li's house before she was caught. There are more and more people around, and the cuckoo has only one thought, which is to run as soon as possible. Just when the chasing people were about to catch the cuckoo, the cuckoo had already seen the gate of the Li family, and when the cuckoo arrived at the courtyard of the Li family, more than 30 people chasing behind him had also arrived at the door of the Li family, and when they were about to rush in, the door of the Li family opened, Zhang Shufen, Li Zongguo and Wang Qinglian walked out, and the villagers did not dare to move when they saw it.

The cuckoo gasped for breath and stood there with his hands on his knees. Zhang Shufen and the others all glared at the cuckoo fiercely, and even Li Zongguo, who cared for the cuckoo during this time, looked at the cuckoo fiercely again. The cuckoo looked at the villagers who felt it one after another, and they all glared at the cuckoo angrily, and then the cuckoo found that Xu Erfu and Xiao Zhen had just arrived, and when Xiao Zhen saw the cuckoo, she was startled, and her eyes were filled with tears, she knew that the cuckoo was going to suffer again. When Du Juan saw Xiao Zhen, she was full of resentment at first, but when she saw Xiao Zhen's expression, she understood that Xiao Zhen was worried about her and looked for her all night. Only then did the cuckoo's heart soothe a little.

At this time, Zhang Shufen spoke first, and she said: "You don't know what to do, our family is so good to you, you still want to run?" After speaking, Zhang Shufen sneered again, and she continued: "Do you think you can run out?" How, how did you come back again? Know you can't run? Let's see how I give you some color this time. ”

The cuckoo slowed down for a while, and then she stood up straight, she first took off the black raincoat, and the cuckoo had been wearing the white dress that her father had bought for her for the past two days. The cuckoo threw the raincoat aside, she took two steps back, and after listening to Zhang Shufen, the cuckoo didn't mean to be scared at all, she also sneered, this was the first time the cuckoo laughed after entering this village, but her smile made people feel chills when they saw it. Even Zhang Shufen was shocked.

"Yes, you're so good to me, your whole family, no, the whole village is so good to me." The cuckoo said in a weird way, and was happy after speaking.

Everyone felt colder when they heard it, and most of the people at the scene thought that the cuckoo was crazy.

"Are you crazy, what are you talking about?" Wang Qinglian angrily scolded the cuckoo and said.

"Am I crazy? Aunt Wang, you ······" Saying that, the cuckoo waved four fingers at Wang Qinglian, which was a gesture of four.

"Don't let this crazy woman talk nonsense, quickly arrest me in the secret room, don't let her out without my order, and when she gives birth, I'm dealing with her well," Zhang Shufen said angrily. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Zongguo on the side. Niu Eryi, who was at the door, and a few villagers also rushed to the cuckoo together. The crowd also stirred, all echoing Zhang Shufen's insults and insults against Du Juan.

At this time, the cuckoo suddenly retreated a few steps back and came to the well in the courtyard. She put her hands on the side of the well and leaned forward, this action frightened everyone present, Li Zongguo and Niu Erqi and several other villagers also stood there and did not do anything, and the whole scene was quiet.

At this time, the cuckoo did not continue the next action, she turned around and showed a strange smile at these people, the cuckoo turned to look at these people, this scene she seemed to have seen before, at first she thought it was just a dream, but she didn't expect it to be a harbinger of the end of her life.

The cuckoo saw that these people were not moving, she laughed twice, and she looked around again, because she had to remember the faces of everyone present, and none of these people were good, because how many of them were forcibly separated from their families, and their fate became so miserable because of these people.

"Listen, from now on, I, the cuckoo, curse all the people in this village not to die well, cut off their children and grandchildren, and not one of them can escape!" When the cuckoo said this, he was cold and did not have a trace of expression.

Some of the people present were really frightened, although they had also seen some of the captured women who were constantly abusing and were later tamed, but today they saw this woman's curse on the village, some people unconsciously believed it, they didn't dare to say a word anymore, and some people didn't even dare to look into the eyes of the cuckoo.

At this time, the cuckoo's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth showed a ghostly smile when he spoke, at this time the cuckoo was really three points like a person and seven points like a ghost, and at this moment a more terrifying scene appeared, after the cuckoo said this, she left a few tears in her godless eyes, the tears turned out to be red, and what flowed out was two lines of blood.

Everyone present was frightened, Li Zongguo was so frightened that he took two steps back, and the big Niu Er's legs trembled, and he couldn't move anymore. The cuckoo stood by the well and watched them, and at this time the cuckoo's resentment had reached its peak.

It was Zhang Shufen who came to her senses first, and he even gestured to the sweat, asking everyone to hurry up and arrest this "madman" quickly. She called for a long time, but no one dared to do it, Zhang Shufen was also angry, and she said again: "You gang of wretched, if you don't do it, the police will come in a while, no one will be able to escape, and they will all be in prison."

As soon as the village chief said this, Xu Dafu and the others also came to their senses, they knew the seriousness of these things if they were exposed. After hearing this, they hurriedly stepped forward to catch the cuckoo.

The cuckoo saw them come up, she knew that the time had come, and her life should be over, she turned her head to the well, looked at the well water below, her face was reflected on the water, the cuckoo looked at herself who was not a human or a ghost, her body was like the previous one, and she only heard the sound of "poof······

This wellhead is very narrow, it is difficult for a man to go down, even if he can go down, he is following the rope, and it is too late to go down to catch people, and who dares to go down in this case. A few brave people, including Zhang Shufen and Li Zongguo, ran to the mouth of the well, and they saw that the well water inside was turning flowers, and the cuckoo was fluttering in it for three or four minutes, and it was quiet inside, and only a white shadow could be seen.

After a while, someone came to send a message saying that the investigation team would arrive at noon, and as soon as Zhang Shufen summed it up, the matter of the cuckoo was put aside first, and the investigation team was sent away in front of him, and the rest of the matter was talked about. The villagers present were frightened, they had seen this, some of them were timid, thinking of the cuckoo's curse, and thinking of the search for the cuckoo so hard last night, they were so frightened that they were about to pee their pants. Zhang Shufen calmed the emotions of the villagers again, she was afraid that once the investigation team entered the village, these people would be frightened and talk nonsense. She said that Du Juan committed suicide, and it had nothing to do with everyone, and she would take everyone to make more money in the future, and later said with a slight threat that once this matter was revealed, none of them would be able to get out of the relationship, and they would all be in prison.

The villagers gradually dispersed, and Zhang Shufen asked Li Zongguo and Niu Erqi to find a big stone to cover the manhole cover. Hide it first, and then talk about it when the investigation team is gone. At noon, the investigation team came as scheduled, and after they entered the village, they were led by the village chief for a brief visit, mainly to Wang Qinglian's house, Wang Qinglian even cried and howled for a meal, saying that she didn't know how this son became like this, how could he do such a lack of morality, and so on. The investigation team also felt that Wang Qinglian was a poor mother who had lost her footing because of her son. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the investigation team left, and the matter ended without a hitch. The next thing to deal with is the cuckoo.

Listening to Wufu talk about the tragic death of the cuckoo, Gu Xiaofei angrily slammed his fist on the table, speaking of which it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, Bai Ling took out the cooked food he bought, and we were already sitting around the cleaned up kang table and eating and listening to Wufu recall, at this time Wufu had already drunk six or seven taels of liquor.

"The cuckoo is so miserable! These brutes, they all deserve a good death! Sooner or later, these beasts will have retribution. Gu Xiaofei shouted angrily.

I looked at Wufu on the other side, and he was calm when he narrated. At this time, Wufu drank another glass of wine, and listening to Gu Xiaofei's roar in that atmosphere, Wufu snorted and said, "Retribution, yes!" Retribution, it's coming too fast," Wufu continued.
