Chapter 50: Death Without Proof
There is no electricity in the village, and the entertainment facilities are limited to chatting, and the two of them chatted for a while, I went back to the house to get ready to sleep, and tomorrow I have to go to find someone with them, according to Jin Sanpang, this person since the sale of local goods, afraid of the village people red, so he moved to the neighboring village, to find him has to walk a long way, so I need to nourish my spirit.
The night was uneventful, we got up in the morning and packed up ourselves, had dinner and went out with Sanjiu and the others, because we were afraid that the old village chief would suspect our identity, so we did not inquire with him about this person's news, according to the address that this person left for Jin Sanpang, we walked more than 40 miles on foot, only to find the man's current address - Tiangou Village.
The former is backward and closed, and the latter can be seen everywhere in the 'modern' atmosphere, such as the small truck parked in the farmhouse, the small shop at the head of the village, and the villagers standing on the side of the street talking on the phone......
Jin Sanpang was arguing that his leg was about to break just now, and when he saw the store, he immediately rushed over lightly, Sanjiu and I were waiting outside, and the three of them went in at the same time It was too eye-catching, Jin Sanpang not only bought things, but also asked where the insider's family lived.
After a long time, I saw him come out with two large bags of food and drink, probably buying all the food in the store.
I saw that although he hadn't forgotten to buy food and drink, his face was obviously wrong, so I asked, "What?" Didn't hear? ”
He looked to the left and right and said, "He..."
As if realizing that the entrance of the shop was not the place to speak, he stopped talking and motioned for us to go under the big tree at the head of the village.
We stood under the tree, Jin Sanpang directly took out a bottle of beer, opened it with his teeth, and poured a few sips before wiping his mouth and saying, "That person is dead." ”
Sanjiu and I looked at each other, and I asked, "When?" How did he die? ”
Jin Sanpang looked at the houses of different heights in the distance, took two more sips of beer, and said, "I died shortly after I came back from selling that piece of local goods, and the boss said... After his death, there was also a phenomenon of defrauding the corpse. ”
A person appeared inexplicably, and died after revealing the information of the mausoleum guard, and the words 'death without proof' immediately appeared in my heart.
I paused for a moment and said, "How could it be such a coincidence that you died after revealing the secrets of the village?" ”
Jin Sanpang showed a helpless expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a coincidence or not, now that the body has been cremated a long time ago, it's too late for us to find out!" ”
He is right, a person has been dead for several years, and we have the heart to investigate the cause of his death, but the chance is slim, and even if the cause of his death is found, it will not help, what clues can the dead man tell us?
When I was talking to Jin Sanpang, Sanjiu always looked thoughtful, I was afraid of interrupting his train of thought, so I dragged Jin Sanpang aside, pulled over the plastic bag and took out a loaf of bread and nibbled on it.
The sun was scorching, and at noon in summer, I stood under the tree and sweated hot, not to mention Jin Sanfat, beads of sweat fell down my cheeks, only Sanjiu seemed to be unaffected by the scorching sun, and his gloomy face didn't know what he thought.
"We were fooled." When he said this, I was pouring water into my mouth, and he said a word of compassion, choking on a mouthful of water and spraying it all on Jin San's fat face.
Jin Sanpang wiped the water from his face, and I held on to the tree and coughed violently, and Sanjiu continued: "Someone brought us here. ”
After a pause, he said, "Someone wants to bring a specific person here." ”
Jin Sanpang seemed to come back to his senses after hearing his words, and said, "You mean that the insider revealed the information about the ancient tomb here, and it was deliberate?" ”
Sanjiu didn't answer with a gloomy face, I stopped coughing and said, "Regardless of whether someone brings us here or not, don't we all have to come?" Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains! ”
I have been taught about their determination to find the Tomb of the Queen of Qingqiu, and I myself had to come because of the coercion of Sanjiu, and the two of them are the masterminds of this trip, especially Sanjiu, I believe that even if there is a nuclear bomb here that is about to detonate, he will break in without frowning.
They didn't speak, they just stared at me, and I felt that they understood what I meant, so they said, "The main question now is whether we have the strength to do the trick." ”
The other party sets up bait to lure us into the bait, no matter what his purpose is, we are here, whether it is simply to kill for money, or to find some specific people, what kind of result requires further action from the other party, and he will inevitably have follow-up actions.
So our question is, do we have the strength to accept the move, if it is really trying to kill for money, we need to have a strong ability to save our lives, and we have the right to speak with a hard fist, which I just learned from Sanjiu.
Jin Sanpang smiled maliciously: "It makes sense, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." Wait for him to take the initiative to come forward, so that we don't have to work hard to get him out. ”
In fact, this trip was not in vain, if Jin Sanpang hadn't thought of asking the insider about the mausoleum keeper again, we would still be kept in the dark.
It is worth speculating about the other party's intentions, whether it is good or evil, and if it is good, why should the person who sent the news be eliminated afterwards; If it's evil, we've been here for two days, and the other party hasn't attacked us.
I don't want to think about this question for the time being, no matter what unknown situation we will face, we have to go back to Lingcun first and then make plans, on the way back, I asked Jin Sanpang about the insider who deceived the corpse.
He shook his head and said, "The boss can't say clearly, he only knows that the man died and lived again, and then died, and the people in the village are rumored to be a fraudulent corpse." ”
After he finished speaking, he patted his head, and then said: "I remember, when the boss mentioned Lingcun, his expression was strange, as if he didn't want to talk about it, and said yes... That village was full of weirdos. ”
His words aroused my interest, recalling that when we went into the mountains to ask for directions, the people who gave us directions also showed strange expressions when they heard that the place we were looking for was Ling Village, but they didn't want to say more, could it be that there were any secrets in Ling Village besides Bai Rui?
Thinking of this, I asked, "Did he say something weird?" ”
Jin San shook his round head, it seemed that there would be no progress on this topic, I looked at him with a suspicious gaze, and said, "I think it is necessary to understand my comrades-in-arms, tell me, what are you best at?" In addition to eating! ”
He stretched out a fat finger and pointed at me, looking very indignant, and said, "You haven't heard of my name!" When I roamed the rivers and lakes, you... There is no such person as Li Miaoxue at all, and when it comes to Jinjia real people in the line, which one doesn't give a thumbs up? ”
I really couldn't hold back, I snorted and laughed: "Jinjia real person? This is a pen name influenced by Journey to the West! ”
Jin San pouted and said, "I don't believe in my strength, you will cry when the time comes!" ”
Originally, I walked in the middle, and after listening to his words, I went around to the other side of Sanjiu on the right, looked at him across the mountain, and threw him a shining white eye, and clearly told him with my actions that I disdained to be with him because of the presence of this great god.
