Chapter 39: Murderous Nursery Rhymes (3)

It was still early to return to Zhu's house, Su Yunkai thought that Zhu Ankang was indeed right, if he went at night, he might have to be chased by dogs, since this is the case, then wait to go.

It was strange to him that a good century-old banyan tree was suddenly sung like that kind of nursery rhyme. He would sit in the courtyard and ponder it, and the children would hum that tune again.

"The roots, the roots, the hair of my sister...... Hanging upside down the tree can't go up and down...... As soon as the wind stopped, so did she. But don't stop, passers-by, because my sister is laughing and looking at you. ”

Su Yunkai listened to it again, and when they stopped, he went over and asked, "Who taught you this ballad?" ”

Several people were cheerful and scrambled to answer, "It's the little fat brother next door." ”

"Then do you know who taught the little fat brother next door?"

"Maybe it's the easternmost dog."

A few people chattered and talked about it, but they didn't say who sang it in the first place. Su Yunkai squatted beside them and thought carefully, the nearest town was also twenty miles away, and they had been there for a few days, if there was this nursery rhyme, they must have heard of it. So nursery rhymes are only sung in Banyan Village, and they also originated from this?

So what was the purpose of the first person to teach nursery rhymes?

Why do you want to teach people to sing nursery rhymes that make the villagers uneasy, and what is going on with the ghost sister Ah Wan.

Being in Banyan Village, Su Yunkai felt as if he had stepped into a huge cloud of doubt.

"Brother Su? Brother Su? ”

Su Yunkai came back to his senses, and Zhu Ankang handed over a bowl of tea and said, "My grandfather said that you have been outside for a long time, let you go in and have a cup of tea." Miss Mingyue said that you are thinking about things, don't disturb you, so I brought the tea. ”

Su Yunkai took it with both hands, thanked him, and said, "Do you know where that girl named Ah Wan lives?" ”

Zhu Ankang said, "You don't know if you say it, I'll take you there...... What did Brother Su do at Ah Wan's house? ”

"I'm curious about that nursery rhyme and want to see it."

"There's nothing to look at, after Ah Wan died, Ah Wan's father died of illness soon after, and her mother went early, and now there is an empty house there." Zhu Ankang stepped on his feet and looked out of the low wall, as if he could see the room, "You are like my grandfather, you are not afraid of evil spirits." It's been a long time since anyone has been there, and I don't know if the rats have been in there. ”

Su Yunkai drank the tea, put the bowl down, and let Zhu Ankang lead the way.

Ah Wan's home is not too far away, but because of the high terrain, you can't see it in Zhu's house. As soon as Zhu Ankang led him out, he saw two people coming up on another village road, he shouted, beckoned and smiled, "Fourth brother, fifth brother." ”

The people who came were An Dexing, who lived next door, and Sun He, who was from the Sun family at the entrance of the village, and the three grew up together, they were about the same age, they had a good time, and they shouted and played. Anyway, everyone in the village understands it, so it hasn't changed since I grew up.

When the two of them heard the shouting, they also waved over and ran quickly. I saw Su Yunkai at a glance, and saw that he was not dressed like an official businessman, so I didn't know how to greet him for a while. Zhu Ankang said, "This is Su Gongzi who is passing by and staying overnight, accompanied by three men and a girl. By the way, my grandfather borrowed a room from your house for the two of them, and don't think you've been robbed when you go back. ”

An Dexing laughed loudly, "I don't even treat you as a thief when you always go in and out of my house, let alone others." ”

Zhu Ankang tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's good to really steal some things another day, so that you can confirm my identity as a thief." Only then did he remember and introduced Su Yunkai, "This is An Dexing of the family next door, this is Sun He, the three of us have grown up together since childhood, and we are like brothers and sisters." ”

Su Yunkai knew that they were not shallow when he saw the way they spoke, that An Dexing looked like a hearty and straightforward person, that Sun He was a little silent, and the two of them were also smiling when they spoke, looking like they were reading a lot of books, "I'm disturbed today." ”

"What's the bother, more people, the village is lively." An Dexing said, "You don't know, because of the recent incident with the big banyan tree, the people in the village are panicked and deserted...... By the way, you don't know about the banyan tree yet. ”

Zhu Ankang interjected, "You know, nursery rhymes spread throughout the village, and you can hear them everywhere you go. Well, I'm about to take Mr. Su to Ah Wan's house, do you want to go together? ”

Hearing that it was going to Ah Wan's house, both of them were a little surprised, "Ah Wan's house? Seriously? Doesn't Brother Su know that Ah Wan is the ...... in the nursery rhyme? That sister? ”

Su Yunkai said, "I know, I feel curious, I want to take a look." ”

Since he said so, the three of them couldn't say anything. Just as he was about to go over there, the wooden door of Zhu's house opened, and he saw a handsome girl come out, with long hair like a shawl of ink clouds, and a pair of bright eyes.

An Dexing smiled, "Where did you come from?" ”

Sun He glanced at him, with a slight accusation in his eyes, "Didn't you say that there was another girl with you?" Put away your frivolous appearance and don't scare anyone. ”

"Yes, yes, Sun Shusheng is wrong, so put it away."

Mingyue came out when she heard the sound and wanted to see if Bai Shui had followed, but she didn't see her when she came out. Su Yunkai walked over quickly, his steps were certain, as if he was inadvertently blocking An Dexing's sight, "Why did you come out, didn't you have tea with the village chief in the house?" ”

"I heard that you are going to Miss Awan's house, and I want to see if Brother Bai is going with you."

Su Yunkai's face was warm, "Accompanied by the three brothers, it's okay, you go in first, I'll be back in a while." ”

Mingyue saw that the three of them had been looking at her, and seeing that his eyes were firm, she said "be careful" before going back. When Su Yunkai returned to the three, An Dexing smiled and said, "It seems that the famous flower has a master." ”

Su Yun paused slightly, knowing that he was making fun of him and Mingyue, and said, "I don't have anything to do with Miss Mingyue. ”

"Then why do you go out with you?"

Su Yunkai couldn't say anything about the relationship between the two of them now, but Sun He looked accusatory again, "As long as you talk a lot and put your crooked thoughts on studying, the position of champion is already yours." ”

An Dexing immediately pointed out, "Oh oh, this is what you said, if I study hard and still can't get the top score, you will be finished." ”

Sun He snorted coldly, ignoring his nonsense. Zhu Ankang, who was lagging behind, saw that the two were really noisy, and smiled apologetically at Su Yunkai, "I'm sorry, they actually have quite good tempers, but they are nagging." ”

Su Yun laughed and said, "It's better to be lively." He looked at the village road, it was so small that the two of them could only walk side by side, although An Dexing and Sun He were cold and hot, they could see each other's tacit understanding when they talked to each other, and they must usually walk side by side together. This can be seen from their walking, if two people who are not familiar with each other walk this kind of trail together, there will inevitably be a collision when the hands swing, such as him and Zhu Ankang now.

That's from before, that is, the two of them walked in front, and Sun He walked behind alone?

But the previous two people won't look back at Zhu Ankang after talking for so long, aren't they afraid of being snubbed or bored?

Don't...... Su Yunkai looked down at the narrow road under his feet, and Zhu Ankang, who walked almost against the edge of the path without looking at the road at all, walked very familiarly. Before next to him, there was also a person's storage zài?

So who is that person?

Or is he overthinking?

Su Yun was happy and had doubts, but it was not good to ask about this kind of thing, after all, he was still a stranger to them, and it would be too rude to inquire about this kind of thing.

Ah Wan's home is not far from here, and it will be there soon. It was a not-so-modest tiled house, better than most of the houses in the village. The farm yard is also very large, there are no traces of chickens and ducks in the front yard, and the grape trellis left behind is still vibrant.

"Ah Wan's mother is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, and when she married into Banyan Village, she brought a lot of dowry, so Ah Wan's family has been living a good life. It's just that I didn't expect ......" An Dexing said that he didn't have that frivolous appearance here, full of regret and sighs.

Sun He and Zhu Ankang didn't speak, and the sudden silence suddenly made Su Yunkai think, "Miss Ah Wan also grew up with you?" ”

An Dexing nodded, "Yes." ”

Su Yunkai can now be sure that they are four people walking together, and it is Ah Wan who walks side by side with Zhu Ankang. Although the village road is not big, there is no need to walk on the edge all the time, only the girl next door is walking with a girl, even if it is a playmate since childhood, she must avoid suspicion, and she can't be shoulder-to-shoulder like An Dexing and Sun He.

The outside of the yard was cleaned up, but no one had come for a long time, so some of the debris piled up outside was already covered with dust. And push the door in, and the cobwebs inside are like fishing nets. Zhu Ankang raised his hand to stop the web, "It's not comfortable to let the spider web get into your eyes." ”

An Dexing had already recovered a little bit of his spirit, and said with a smile, "What did you say you were doing here, it was dirty and messy. ”

"I want to know why everyone in the village is spreading the nursery rhyme that Miss Ah Wan taught people to sing."

Sun He said, "Nonsense, even if Ah Wan really hasn't left yet, she won't harm anyone." I don't know who came out of that nursery rhyme first. ”

Zhu Ankang said lightly, "In those days, bad things happened one after another, and the songs came out together, and it was inevitable that the villagers would think about it. Originally, many things were done by the crowd, with less judgment on their own, and just following the crowd. ”

"Yes, but I don't believe it's Ah Wan's ghost."

"I don't believe it either."

The three of them didn't believe it, and Su Yunkai didn't believe it either, there was really nothing to see in this house, Su Yunkai took a few more looks, and then went out.

After coming out, the clothes of the four people were stained with dust, and Su Yunkai patted the dust, and he didn't know if his nose was dusty and sneezed. After seeing the three of them for a moment, he looked behind him with a slightly wrong expression and said, "Let's go, it's really a little cold." ”

Su Yunkai didn't take it to heart, he just thought that his nose was stained with dust. Back at Zhu's house, he sneezed again when he entered the door, and the cold came out of his body.

In the evening, he had an inexplicable high fever, his head was groggy and he couldn't sit up, and he had nightmares after nightmares.

The news soon spread throughout the village, and this time it became even more evil.

Everyone is rumoring that Su Gongzi, who has to go under the banyan tree during the day, must be the person hanging upside down on the banyan tree, and his eyes are on the same page!
