Li Kangjian is Lao Li Tou's nephew according to his generation, Lao Li Tou's grandfather is a brother to his grandfather, and the blood relationship is already a little far away, but Li Kangjian is honest and honest, and he does things authentically. Old man Li used to plant his own fields for him, and every year after he harvested rice and rapeseed, he would find a way to send him some new rice and new oil to the county town as soon as possible.

Half of the old Li Tou's field is planted by Li Kangjian, and the other half is planted by Li Kangjian's younger brother Li Kangwei, who is not even half of his brother's kindness.

Li Kangjian's parents died early, the family was so poor that the old Li Tou thought about passing him under his own name, but at that time Li Kangjian was already a teenager, and he couldn't give up his younger brother, Lao Li Tou just thought about it, and muttered a few words to his grandmother casually, and then gave up.

Now that he has a winter cub, he naturally won't have the idea of succeeding Li Kangjian, but he and his grandmother are both old, and the two of them are not in good health, so he must plan more for the future of the winter cub.

Lao Li Tou stepped forward quickly, opened the door, and said enthusiastically: "Big nephew, what's going on?" Look at you sweaty face, come in and sit down. Have you had dinner? There is still food at home, if you don't eat it, I'll ask your aunt to give you hot food. ”

Li Kangjian wiped the sweat on his face, breathlessly said: "I, I won't sit anymore, Uncle Gui has a big incident, Uncle An Liang and his family are gone, all gone." ”

Lao Li didn't react for a while: "No? What's wrong? ”

Li Kangjian's black and red face showed deep horror: "People, all people, all dead, six people, six people in their family, there is no one left." "The oldest one is in his early sixties, and the youngest is only five years old.

"How is that possible? This is a good ...... Didn't they say the other day that their family was going to dig a well? Lao Li Tou was surprised.

When Grandma Sun heard the movement, she walked out of the kitchen, and when she saw that it was Li Kangjian, she immediately smiled and said, "Kangjian, when did you come?" Look at you sweaty, go sit down and drink your saliva. ”

Lao Li Tou also said: "Let's go to the house and sit down and talk slowly." ”

Li Kangjian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't sit, Uncle An Peng has already sent someone to the town to call the police, it is estimated that the police will arrive soon, he asked all of us to wait at the ancestral hall first, and the police will come to ask questions in a while." ”

A family of eight died cleanly, not to mention this kind of tragedy in a small mountain col in Lijia Village, it is also a rare big case and murder case in the country when put outside.

Lao Li lived far away, and when he arrived, the ancestral hall was already full of people, not only from the village, but also from the neighboring villages, and everyone was talking about Li Anliang's family. Li Anliang's house is not far from the ancestral hall, and although it has been taken care of, there are still many people outside his courtyard who want to look inside.

Li Anpeng, the village party secretary, saw Lao Li Tou following Li Kangjian alone, so he asked him, "Where is your mother-in-law?" Why didn't you come? ”

"The winter cub is asleep, I don't feel at ease when I'm alone at home, so let her watch the children at home, what's going on, how can I ...... it" Lao Li Tou and Li Anliang's family have a mediocre relationship, but after all, they grew up together since childhood, and they are a little bit close to each other, and suddenly the whole family is gone, Lao Li Tou, like many people in the village, can't believe that this kind of thing will happen.

Li Anpeng said angrily: "Who knows what's going on, I'll know when the police come over." "This kind of thing happened to the village under his nose, and he, the village party secretary, also did it, why is he so unlucky.

The police haven't arrived yet, and everyone is talking about it.

The conditions of Li Anliang's family are neither good nor bad in Lijia Village, the family makes a living from farming, stays in the village all the year round, and the possibility of enmity with people outside is almost zero. Li Anliang's wife and daughter-in-law are a little spicy, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not only quarrel at home, but also often quarrel with other people in the village over trivial matters, but they are all petty fights, and they can't kill people at all.

Moreover, Li Anliang's family of three died very strangely.

“…… In the afternoon, when we finished work, we went home. My mother-in-law took a few grapefruit seedlings from my father-in-law's house and came back for me to plant, so I went to Uncle An Liang's house to borrow an iron catalpa...... They didn't have the door, the door wasn't closed, and I, I just pushed it away, walked in, and then I saw their family all collapsed around the table. I was scared, so I rushed out and shouted, and I knew so much. ”

"Comrade Li Kangzhu, if you think about it carefully, will you really come out after you go in? Have you noticed any other suspicious signs? When the police arrived, they immediately cordoned off the scene and launched an investigation into the scene. As the first person to discover the scene of the crime, Li Kangzhu naturally became the focus of their questioning.

Li Kangzhu usually does not hesitate to be alone in the village, but today he was completely frightened and stupid, his feet were as soft as noodles, and he shivered, he choked up and stammered: "Go in, and when I see them falling next to the table, I turn around and come out, and when I come out, I will shout, and everyone can testify to me." Comrade Detective, this is really, really none of my business, I really don't know anything. I'm going to know they're in trouble, and I'm not going to borrow any iron, woo. ”

Wang Jun has been a criminal policeman for one or two decades, and he has rich experience in criminal investigation, and he can look at a person at a glance, but he has already believed Li Kangzhu's words six or seven points in his heart.

No matter what kind of inside story there is, with Li Kangzhu's cowardice, he wouldn't dare to do such a big thing if he borrowed ten more dares.

"Okay, wipe away your tears, as long as you didn't do it, no one will blame you." Wang Jun handed a crumpled piece of toilet paper to Li Kangzhu, and then asked the others around him: "Several of you have been digging wells for Li Anliang's house for the past few days, are there any strange people and strange things, come and hear about them." ”

The wells in Li's village were all dug by the villagers themselves, and the people Li Anliang found were all his cousins, and after several people looked at each other for a long time, an older person finally said: "There are no strange people, but there is a strange thing." ”

"What's weird?"

"Ghost, no, gold, goldfish."

"What the hell, what a goldfish, be careful." Wang Jun said sharply.

It turned out that at noon today, the well of Li Anliang's house finally came out of the water, not only did the water come out, but they also scratched two golden big carp from the well, and the two fish together had to be at least three or four catties, and they were very fresh.

In the past, there was a legend in the village that someone dug a big fish out of a well in the early days, and the whole family died after eating the fish. I don't know how many generations the legend has been circulated, no one knows whether it is true or not, and the legend itself is very mysterious and does not seem to stand up to any scrutiny.

But the whole family died or something, it was too evil, it really made people feel a little hairy, so a few of them dug wells, and no one mentioned eating fish, and told Li Anliang and his son to let them release the two fish. Li Anliang and his son agreed at that time, but the work of digging the well was not finished, so they temporarily kept the two fish at home.

Wang Jun intuitively felt that this clue was useful, and immediately asked people to look for the traces of these two fish, but the police searched all the places that Li Anliang's house could find, but they did not find any clues to these two fish, and only found a small pot of sauerkraut suspected of having burned fish on the table. However, the head and bones of the fish were completely missing, and there was no trace of killing the fish at home.

The things on the table of Li Anliang's family, as well as their remains, and other things that may become clues, were all sealed and brought back to the police station for testing.

It was almost midnight when Lao Li Tou got home, and when his grandmother heard the movement, she crept up from the bed, lit a candle, and asked Lao Li Tou in a low voice: "What's going on with Li Anliang's family?" Did the police find out what was going on? "It's been three or four years since they've been back in the village, and it's the first time they've heard the siren.

Lao Li Tou took off his stinky smoked rubber shoes and sighed: "Check? I'm afraid it's not that easy to investigate. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know what Li Anliang dug up in the well at his house?"

"What's that? A dead old man, if you have anything to say, what else are you selling! Grandma Sun dropped a few drops of wax oil and fixed the candle on the table, glared at Lao Li and urged.

"Ghost fish. They dug up the ghost fish and ate it, you say it's not looking for death? ”

"Ghost fish? When I was at my mother's house before, I heard my grandfather tell me, and it turned out to be true?! Grandma Sun said in horror.

Lijia Village is adjacent to Anxi Village, where the grandmother's house is located, and the legends passed down by the older generation are almost the same.

Ghost fish, according to the older generation in the village, is a ghost thing that gathers and turns into a ghost after countless people die, a bit like a water ghost looking for a stand-in, but it is not exactly the same. Ghost fish are extremely yin ghosts, they don't look for stand-ins, and they don't have the theory of reincarnation, they like to devour souls. The biggest difference between ghost fish and water ghosts is that ghost fish almost do not actively attack people, but once someone eats the ghost fish into their stomachs, they will swallow the soul of the eater in the shortest time, and then disappear without a trace.

The origin of the winter cub is strange, and now there is a ghost fish in the mouth of the old people in the village, and the old Li Tou and the grandmother did not say anything, but they were a little worried about the inexplicability. All night, the old couple didn't sleep soundly, and when they woke up in the morning, it was already bright outside.

The winter cub's work and rest are very regular, every morning from one to seven o'clock, he wakes up on time, dresses himself, goes to the toilet, brushes his teeth and washes his face, if it is out of the sun or rain, he stays in the house, if it is cloudy, he carries his small stool to sit obediently under the locust tree, and waits for his grandmother to make breakfast and call him.

Today's sky is very gloomy, the winter cub finished going to the toilet, took the gourd and walked slowly to the side of the water tank, as usual ready to scoop some water out to wash, the bottom of the water suddenly burst out of two extremely dazzling gold.
