Chapter 511: Gossip

The previous noise in the village did not affect me, I pushed open the courtyard door, holding a large basin of clothes in my hand and preparing to wash clothes by the stream, I looked up and saw the old village elder coming slowly from afar, I quickly stood to the side, saluted the old village chief and said, "Old village chief, you always take a walk!" ”

I spent the night taking care of the seriously injured Luo Hongxuan, and I didn't fall asleep until dawn, and I rushed home all the way home, and I was frightened again when I arrived at the entrance of the village, and I slept so deeply that I didn't know what was going on in the village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this time, I felt a little strange to see the old village chief walking over with a sad face.

The old village chief was pondering, when he heard someone greeting him, he hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw that I was talking to him, he nodded to me and asked, "Well, you are back, when did you come back?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, I just came back yesterday!" I replied.

"Laundry!" The old village chief looked at me with a large basin of clothes, and looked at it unconsciously, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and a fine light flashed.

What he saw, it was a bloody garment with blood stains on it, which seemed to have just been dyed.

When I saw him, I was shocked, and hurriedly reached out and turned over the dirty clothes in the wooden basin, covering the bloodstained clothes, I don't know if the old village chief saw it. This is what I contracted when I helped Luo Hongxuan last night, and I was going to go to the creek to wash.

"Yes, then, the old village chief will go slowly, and I'll go to the laundry!" As I spoke, I saluted the old village chief in a bit of a panic, and walked towards the head of the stream.

It's me who was negligent again, I shouldn't have chatted with the village chief with my clothes, and the bloodstains in the yard last night, and I also neglected to close the courtyard door, and someone broke into the yard, it seems that someone may also be discovered, what should I do, if someone asks, how should I answer.

I thought in a panic, not knowing that the old village chief looked at my somewhat flustered back, and those shrewd eyes were cloudy again. He thought for a moment and continued to walk slowly around the village.

I came to the head of the stream, and there were already some women washing their clothes by the stream. It is a small stream that flows down from the mountains, and the water is crystal clear, and it is usually the place where the women of the village do their laundry, and it is also the place where all kinds of gossip spread. It was no more deserted than under the big banyan tree in the village.

"Oh, Sister Banlei, when are you coming back!" At this moment, a woman in a floral dress and a bun stood up and hurriedly beckoned to me, "Come, come here!" ”

"Sister-in-law Chun!" I nodded to her, and walked over to the woman, and beside my sister-in-law, there was a Qionghua with whom I had always befriended, and I was about the same age as them, and we were often together in the village.

"Sister Banlei, why have you been gone for a few months, but you can be considered back!" Qionghua also greeted at this time.

"Hehe, yes, didn't you just come back!" I smiled apologetically, and when I left the village that day, I didn't say goodbye to them, but I just explained to Aunt Gen, and I don't know what Aunt Gen said.

However, they were apparently not too suspicious, and after I greeted them, I began to wash the clothes in the tub. I picked up my clothes and suddenly remembered the appearance of the village chief, and I was vaguely worried that he would find something. But I thought again that the village chief was old, and maybe he couldn't see anything clearly. Now I can only comfort myself with this.

"Sister Banlei, why haven't you seen you for a few months, you look a lot thinner!" Qionghua's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting my thoughts.

"That's it, Sister Banlei looks thinner, and her face is paler, is she sick outside?" Sister-in-law Chun also asked with concern.

I smiled and said, "No, I'm fine, I didn't know that everyone cared so much about me, thank you!" ”

"Where, Sister Banlei, you don't know, we don't care about you because of your embroidery skills, we want to ask you for some embroidery!" Qionghua said with a grin, which looked extremely playful.

"Giggles, no, in the days when you're away, we can't start embroidering a novel pattern!" Sister-in-law Chun was also joking on the side.

While we were still laughing, someone on the other side of the stream said, "Oh, what a strange thing you say! ”

"No, alas, it's weird!"

"This village chief doesn't know what to do!"

"I saw that the village chief was furious in the morning, saying that he must find out who did it, and later said that he would send the murderer to the ancestral hall to be punished!"

"What, are you saying it's human?"

"No, you think it's still ghostly."

"But didn't the village chief let us put up a talisman at the door of the house, and also told us not to go out at night, doesn't this show that the evil did it?"

"Bah, bad spirits, bad spirits, what are you talking nonsense, what kind of place is this in our village, but there is a witch lady guarding it, where can you enter the evil spirit!"

The sound of the discussion between the two of us came from this side, and the three of us, who were still laughing, fell silent.

I felt strange when I saw that my two girlfriends suddenly became silent, so I asked curiously, "What, is there something strange in the village?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Qiong Hua said: "It's not last night, all the domestic animals in our village died overnight, and they died very miserably, it's terrifying!" ”

"Isn't there an accident at Sister Banlei's house?" Sister-in-law Chun asked.

I remembered that I had handed over the chickens and ducks to Aunt Gen next door to take care of before I went out, and besides, I had tossed all night last night, where did I pay attention to this.

I suddenly remembered that I had just seen the village chief, and his expression was not good-looking, and I realized that he was bothered by this. But what's going on? Could it be that there are some ghosts in the village?

At this time, I saw Xiong's fourth daughter-in-law carrying a wooden basin and washing clothes in the stream.

Seeing this, Qionghua hurriedly greeted, "Fourth sister-in-law, this way!" She beckoned to the visitors.

Sister-in-law Chun said: "The fourth sister-in-law is here, let's ask her, what did the village chief say later?" ”

I said in my heart, too, this Xiong Fourth Daughter-in-law is a famous long-tongued woman in the village, no matter what happens in the village, you can hear the news in her mouth, she is simply the "bag inquirer" in the village.

When the fourth daughter-in-law saw someone greeting her, she also came this way, and I saw that her expression was languid, as if she hadn't slept for a long time. The whole person was much haggard, and there was still the red light I had seen before, and even the fat body looked a lot thinner.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why are you so haggard? ”

Obviously, I am not the only one who sees the difference between her, even Qionghua and Sister-in-law Chun feel different, and Qionghua even asked.
