In the evening, the villagers closed their doors early, and no one went out before the heavy rain came, and when the heavy rain mixed with thunder and lightning poured down, some villagers immediately curled up on the kang with their whole families, covered with a big quilt, and did not even dare to hum a sound, and on that rainy night a few days ago, they were still searching for cuckoos in the whole village with great interest. But there was one exception, who had been standing by his bed and watching the rain outside.

On the day of Du Juan's death, Wufu followed his brother to contact the people "above", in fact, Wufu's intention was to help Du Juan send the letter that Du Juan entrusted him to mail, but Wufu had a more daring idea in his heart, Wufu thought that once he had the opportunity to call the police, maybe he could also Zhaoxue for Du Juan. Wufu made up his mind and asked to go with his brother, at that time, the situation in the village, the Li family and the village chief didn't have time to think about anything else, so they asked Wufu to go with his brother.

The two drove the village farm car to the township, and on the way, Wufu also tentatively asked his brother who they were connecting? But Xu Erfu ignored Wufu's question, didn't say anything, just drove a farm vehicle, and the two brothers didn't say anything on the road.

When he arrived in the township, Xu Erfu took Wufu to a small supply and marketing cooperative, and after entering, a small man in his thirties greeted him, he recognized Xu Erfu at a glance, and his expression was a little strange, normally speaking, it should not be Xu Erfu every time he came.

Xu Erfu also walked over, bowed his head and whispered a few words in the man's ear, and the man also frowned and said, "How can this happen?" ”

Wufu on the side looked at them, he thought to himself that this should be the person who connected with his brother, it should be the person above, and now he should find an opportunity to mail the letter out first and report the case at the township police station.

But after watching it for a while, after the little man listened, he asked the two brothers Xu Erfu to go to the back room to sit first, he was going to go out, it seemed that if he was looking for someone, could it be that this little man was just a messenger?

Xu Erfu sat on the bench in the back room and smoked a dry cigarette, but Wufu on the side couldn't sit still, he got up and told the second brother that he wanted to go out and breathe. Xu Erfu raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "Well, go, don't go far, we have to rush back in a while!"

Wufu out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he had been here a few times before, he remembered that there was a post box near the township government of more than 200 meters to the left, he didn't think much about going straight to the position of the post box, and after a few minutes he saw a green post box, he came to the front, Wu Fu first looked around to see that there was no suspicious person, he hurriedly took out a letter in the pocket inside the coat, and Wufu quickly put the letter into the mailbox. His heart finally let go of a little, he sighed deeply, and next Wufu planned to rush to the township police station to report the case.

Just when Wufu was looking for homesickness, where was the police station? When I was going to ask someone, a man in a green police uniform and a big cap was riding a bicycle in the direction he was coming from. When the opportunity came, Wufu wanted to call this policeman, but he thought that in this public, it would be troublesome if such a shout attracted the people "above", because Wufu also knew some things above and knew that they were hands and eyes. In the end, Wufu decided that he must not let go of this opportunity, he wanted to follow this person in a police uniform, and when there were few people, he stepped forward to "report the case".

The man didn't ride fast, and Wufu followed unhurriedly behind, but after a while, the policeman came to the supply and marketing cooperative, and he stopped the car and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative. The later Wufu also felt strange, thinking to himself how he had entered the supply and marketing cooperatives so coincidentally? But then I thought about it, the supply and marketing cooperatives were originally selling groceries, and it was normal for this person to go in to buy things, thinking of this Wufu and deciding to wait for him to come out here, and when he walked farther away, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, after all, he didn't have much time, and it would be difficult to do it once he was discovered by the second brother.

After a cigarette, the policeman came out, and as soon as he came out, Wufu immediately greeted him, just when he was about to call the policeman, the second brother came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wufu was so frightened that he shrank back, but Xu Erfu didn't see Wufu, just waved his hand with the policeman, and the policeman also nodded.

Wufu stayed there, it turned out that this policeman was the one who really connected with the second brother, Wufu thought that he didn't see the appearance of this policeman clearly. At this time, Xu Erfu also saw Wufu, and he shouted at Wufu: "Where did you kid go, let's rush back." The policeman also heard Xu Erfu's shout, but he didn't look back and just rode away.

On the way back, Xu Erfu told Wufu that he should not go out to work first, and the people in the village were not allowed to leave Baihu Village during this time.

Wufu stood in front of the window and watched the heavy rain outside, he hadn't gone out for the past few days, but he knew everything that was happening outside. In the past few days, the three brothers and sisters have gone out, the eldest brother and the second brother have hardly gone out of the family, and sometimes Wufu will hear the second sister-in-law Xiaozhen always crying softly. Wufu knew that tonight was the first seven of the cuckoo, and the village spread that tonight was the night of the cuckoo's resurrection, and the cuckoo was going to come back to seek revenge on the Li family. No one dared to go out, because everyone was afraid that Du Juan was not just looking for revenge on the Li family.

But Wufu wanted to see the cuckoo on this night of resurrection, whether it was a human or a ghost.

By midnight, the rain had not stopped, and it was already November, and the weather was already very cold, and it was rare for such a heavy rain to fall this season. At this time, it was still very strong outside, and there was a strong wind, and after the strong wind rose, I felt that the roof was blown and shaken. There was also a permeating laughter in the wind, at least the villagers at the time thought it was laughter. Everyone was even more scared, and some of the timid people covered their ears and hid in the big quilt shivering.

The rain in Hyaknohe Village is always like this, after a night of rain, and as soon as it dawns in the morning, the rain stops, and it is cold and cold outside, and the temperature in the house is not much stronger than outside. At this time in the past, there were already many people in the village who came out to walk around, but today until 7 o'clock in the morning, no one in the village was outside. The whole village is unusually quiet.

It wasn't until the sun came out at nine o'clock in the morning that I felt a little warmer. It took a knock at the door to break the terrifying silence.

"Bang Bang... Boom··· Daifuku open door! The village chief took Niu Ermu to the door of Xu Dafu's house. After entering the house, the village chief saw that Dafu's daughter-in-law was still curled up in the kang, her face was pale, she should have been frightened. Seeing the village chief coming in, Dafu's daughter-in-law hurriedly asked, "Uncle, did you hear the cuckoo's cry last night?" ”

The village chief said with a cold face: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of crying, you heard it wrong." After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Dafu's daughter-in-law.

The village chief came to discuss it yesterday, and he wants to go to Li's house today to have a look, no matter what he sees, but he can't just leave it alone. After the Xu family did it once, the village chief and others rushed to the Li family together.

When they arrived outside the door of Li's house, a woman also trotted towards this side, and when she walked in, she saw that this person was Wang Qinglian, and when the village chief saw that it was her, his heart was a little relieved, because they were going to Wang Qinglian's house immediately after going to Li's house.

"Qinglian, are you alright?" The village chief asked.

"I'm fine, my sister-in-law's house?" Wang Qinglian asked the village chief.

"No, we've just arrived, and we haven't gone in yet!" After speaking, several people turned their eyes to the closed wooden door of the Li family at the same time.

Niu Erfu stepped forward and smashed the door a few times, there was no movement inside, and there was still no movement after a few clicks, when a few people were suspicious, Xu Erfu said that it was possible that Zong Guotong was not seen, and Aunt Zhang was afraid that she would not be able to see it and would not be able to open the door, so let's knock the door open. The village chief felt that it was reasonable, he motioned to Niu Ermu to kick the door, Niu Ermu agreed and then took two steps back, and rushed forward to shine on the wooden door is a kick, the two wooden doors snapped and opened, and at the moment when the door was kicked open, several people turned their eyes to the courtyard, and several people present at this scene were stunned.

And they saw a man in the courtyard, who was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, with his arms pounding on the ground, and in front of him was a bucket, and his head was in the bucket, motionless. Everyone recognized it, and this person was Li Zongguo.

What is Li Zongguo doing? Is there water in the bucket? Is he dead or alive now? Everyone didn't know, and after being stunned for a while, the village chief hurriedly led people forward to see that Li Zongguo's head was in a bucket full of water. Wang Qinglian hid behind the village chief and grabbed the village chief's arm with her hand, already trembling with fear. The village chief called Li Zongguo twice, but did not respond. The village chief motioned to Niu Erqi to step forward and push Li Zongguo.

Niu Ermu stepped forward and pushed Li Zongguo, maybe he was also afraid, he used a little more force, and pushed Li Zongguo to the side, only to see Li Zongguo stiffly fall to the side, and his head also came out of the bucket, everyone just took a look, Li Zongguo's eyes were big, his mouth was also open, and it seemed that he had been dead for a long time.

Seeing this Wang Qinglian crying, she grabbed it everywhere, her eyes were dull, she should have been scared crazy. After she grabbed it for a while, she turned around like she was running outside, and the village chief hurriedly called a subordinate and asked him to hurry up and chase Wang Qinglian, and he took the rest of the people to go into the house to see Zhang Shufen, although he could now guess Zhang Shufen's ending.

After the village chief and others entered the house, they searched for a few times and found that Zhang Shufen was missing.
