Chapter 159: The Cave Under the House
Yu Dehai said this, and all the young villagers who went up the mountain had no objections, and the villager no longer hesitated or scrupled, turned around and knocked on the door again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The result was predictable, the same silence.
Yu Dehai was no longer patient, or he was really worried about Sister Xu's safety, so he gave a loud order, and several stout villagers quickly stepped forward and began to slam open the tightly latched wooden door with all their might.
The moment he knocked open the wooden door, the strong man in the village rushed into the wooden house first, and checked the outside, but it was dark outside, so he rushed directly into the inner room, and then glared and shouted:
"Dead Man!!"
Yu Dehai and the other villagers followed, hearing the strong man's shout, they ran directly to the inner room, and saw Sister Xu sitting quietly in front of the incense altar, the strong man had already squatted beside Sister Xu, with a sad face.
Yu Dehai quickly stepped forward and squatted on the other side of Sister Xu, seeing that Sister Xu hung her head and closed her eyes, without any movement, she couldn't help but reach out to Sister Xu's nose with trembling hands to probe her breath, and soon stretched out her hands back with shaking hands:
"Really, really, really dead......"
The strong man shouted angrily: "It must have been those two outsiders who did it!" They must have killed Sister Xu! ”
Before Yu Dehai could recover from the shock of Sister Xu's sudden murder, he could hear the villagers who followed him up the mountain to the wooden house shouting in unison like a strong man:
"It was those two outsiders who killed Sister Xu!"
Yu Dehai still lost his mind and said: "Those two have been to Sister Xu's wooden house, but no one has seen them kill Sister Xu, so we convict them of murder, will it be ......?"
The strong man interrupted Yu Dehai's words: "Village chief! I don't like to hear what you say! They are outsiders in the entire Shuiyue Village, except that they are murderers, who will be the murderers of our villagers in Shuiyue Village? ”
At least half of the other villagers immediately coaxed Yu Gao to say this, and Yu Dafa, who had previously taken Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen up the mountain to the wooden house, also stood up and said:
"Village chief, I dare to swear to the sky that when I took those two people to the wooden house to see Sister Xu in the afternoon, Sister Xu was still alive and well! I never came back as soon as I left, and then now! ”
Yu Dafa's words undoubtedly strengthened the coaxing and Yu Gao's words, and also shook the other half who was not very sure.
The strong man Yu Gao continued: "That's it! Chief! When Dafa left, Sister Xu was still alive, but now she is dead in vain, those two outsiders are not murderers, who else can be murderers? ”
This time, Yu Gao's words have been echoed by almost all the villagers, and the remaining few people are Yu Dehai's cronies, and they all look at Yu Dehai's attitude, but these people have actually believed Yu Gao's words in their hearts, and they all agree that Sister Xu is Zhanyan and Yin Seventeen were killed.
Yu Dehai also has nothing to say, not to mention that he himself is also suspicious of Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen, but he just feels that it is a matter of human life, and he must not be too arbitrary, which will arouse the anger of the people by Yu Gao and Yu Dafa, if he holds Zuo Jian who can't cover the coffin, it will definitely cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and then lead to fire.
Yu Dehai said in accordance with the wishes of the crowd: "Those two outsiders are indeed the biggest suspects, but no one has seen them with their own eyes, it's not good to make a conclusion too early, the big guy should hurry up and spread around the wooden house, find those two people as soon as possible, or confront them face to face, and ask Sister Xu if they killed them!" If so, then I, Yu Dehai, swear to heaven here that I will definitely avenge Sister Xu with my own hands! ”
Yu Guan, a close confidant beside Yu Dehai, immediately said: "The village chief is right! Now it is most important to find those two outsiders, whether Sister Xu was killed by them or not, we must find them first! ”
After Yu Gao and Yu Dafa heard this, they didn't say anything angry, Yu Dehai is the village head, and they have to give the village head a face.
Next, in addition to leaving two villagers to guard Sister Xu's body, including Yu Dehai, they all came out of the wooden house, taking the wooden house as the center point, and scattered to find the disappeared Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen.
They probably never imagined that in fact, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen were hiding at their feet, listening to their indignant words for most of the day.
Just when Yu Dehai ordered the villagers to bang on the door, and Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen heard movement in the wooden door in the inner room, the two quickly approached the single wooden door in the inner room, and unexpectedly saw a little girl who slowly crawled out from under the incense case.
The little girl did not go far after climbing out from under the incense case, but beckoned to Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen, who were secretly inspecting behind the wooden door.
Neither of them knew how the little girl knew that the two of them were hiding by the side of a single wooden door, but her act of waving to the two of them really made the two of them a little suspicious at the moment.
The little girl is only about ten years old, and it seems that she has been waiting for a long time to show her face and Yin Seventeen, she is also in a hurry, and she quickly climbed out of the incense case, and quickly went to the single door with her hands and feet, and pulled Yin Seventeen, who looked smaller and easier to talk and get along with, into the room.
As soon as Yin Seventeen entered the inner room, Zhan Yan naturally followed him into the room again.
Before the two of them could ask any questions, the little girl had already whispered:
"Two big brothers, don't ask first, the village chief and uncle are all in front of the house, let's go down and hide first!"
After speaking, the little girl let go of Yin Seventeen's hand and lowered herself to climb under the incense case again.
The incense case was originally covered by a hanging tablecloth, and only by lifting the hanging tablecloth could you see the situation under the incense case.
At this look, Yin Seventeen couldn't help but look back at Zhan Yan.
Yin Seventeen was still holding the drape in his hand, and Zhan Yan naturally saw the scene under the incense case, how could the two of them never imagine that there would be another one under the incense case where Sister Xu died...... Hole!
When the little girl got under the hole, she whispered to the two people above:
"Come down quickly, if you don't come down, it'll be too late!"
The two of them are already in trouble, and this will appear such a temporary hole under the house to avoid trouble, which is indeed the best choice for the two of them at present, but who is the little girl, why should she help the two?
These questions were hovering in the hearts of Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen at the same time, but Yin Seventeen whispered to Zhan Yan in two breaths:
"Brother Zhan, let's go down first and see the situation!"
Zhan Yan nodded, now it can only be like this.
Yin Seventeen went down the cave first, and then showed his face.
When the little girl saw that the two of them had all gone down to the hole, she covered the shutter at the entrance of the cave, and then pressed a bump on the edge of the hole, and then motioned for the two to be quiet, and pointed to the top of the hole.
The two naturally understood what the little girl meant, and Qi Qi first put down the doubts in his heart, and listened to the sound of footsteps on the floor above the cave with bated breath, and then Yu Dehai, Yu Gao, Yu Dafa and other villagers shouted angrily.
From beginning to end, neither the two nor the little girl made any movement, but only quietly listened to the words of the villagers above who wanted to arrest the two to avenge Sister Xu.
The two were worried that the little girl would misbelieve it when she heard such words, and made a movement for the villagers above the cave to come down to the cave to arrest the two, but the result was beyond their expectations, the little girl not only behaved calmly, but also did not believe every word of the villagers above.
While the two of them were relieved, they also had all kinds of speculations about the little girl who suddenly came out of the hole and solved the crisis of the two.
Yu Dehai took the villagers away, but he still left two young and strong villagers to guard Sister Xu.
Because of Sister Xu's death, although the appearance is not as hideous as other dead corpses, but in the end it is also a horizontal death, but anyone who believes in a goddess like Sister Xu is a person who believes in ghosts and gods very much, although the two villagers are young and strong, and their courage is not small on weekdays, but after Yu Dehai and others left, they discussed going to the outside of the wooden house to guard.
Anyway, the wooden house is not big, the outside room is not big inside, and if there is movement inside, the outside can easily hear it, so the two villagers also moved to the outside bench to sit and guard.
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen both have very good ears, and as soon as the two villagers walked out of the room, the two of them noticed it.
After waiting for a while, Zhan Yan took out the usual fire fold on his body and wanted to illuminate it, but as soon as he took out the fire fold, there was already a faint light on the little girl's side.
The two looked and saw the little girl holding an oil lamp in her hand.
The little girl placed the oil lamp in the middle of the hole, and the three of them sat around it.
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen were afraid that the villagers above the cave would hear their voices, although they both had questions in their hearts, they didn't ask for a while, but the little girl opened her mouth first:
"My name is Yu Jiali, I am nine years old this year, and I am Sister Xu's apprentice!"
The little girl kept her voice low, probably afraid that the sound would reach the top of the hole, and then she said:
"We are talking in such a whisper, if the villagers above are not standing under the incense case and listening, they will not be able to hear, the two big brothers can speak with confidence, but they must be whispered very quietly!"
Yu Jiali's voice is very soft and deliberately low, like the meowing sound of a kitten, which is very cute.
After having the oil lamp, the two of them were able to take a general look at the hole under the house.
The hole under the roof is not big, but it can fit six adults, so two adults with a little girl is quite spacious.
Yin Seventeen pointed to the protruding dot on the edge of the cave and asked, "Is that the switch for the hole under this roof?" ”
Yu Jiali nodded and said: "Yes, as soon as the switch is pressed, a layer of wood will be laid on top of the lifting board outside the hole, big brother don't have to worry that someone will find this hole!" ”
Yin Seventeen nodded: "Oh......"
Yin Seventeen let out a light sigh on his lips, and once again admired the mechanism made by the ancients in his heart.
Zhan Yan asked: "Your name is Yu Jiali, Sister Xu is your master, and the villagers above all say that we killed your master, why do you still want to help us?" ”
Yin Seventeen's mind immediately pulled back, and the words that Zhan Yan asked were the biggest doubts in her heart.
Yu Jiali said with a sad face: "Because the master was killed long before you came, so I know that the master was not killed by you, but the people above said that you killed it, and the master often said that everything must have good thoughts, and the yellow fox fairy will appear, I can't let the village chief and uncle wronged the good people." ”
The width of the hole under the roof is acceptable, but the height is only for children to stand, and adults can only stand half-bent over, or sit directly.
Yu Jiali's height is exactly the height of the hole under the house, and when she stood up, she only touched the top of the cave with only three inches above her head, she stood up and walked to the bottom of the hole, looked at the hole sealed by two layers of wooden boards, and said:
"Before Master was killed, he asked me to hide here, saying that I should not speak up at any time, and if Master was alive, Master would open the hole and let me out in three days...... When I was gone, Master said that I should not care who killed Master, as long as I wanted to escape from this mountain and escape from Shuiyue Village, and then go to Hongsha County to find Uncle Yu and Uncle Yu......
Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu?
When Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen heard this title, they both thought of Yu Guangnian and his wife at the same time.
Yin Seventeen confirmed: "Is the name of Uncle Yu in your mouth called Yu Guangnian?" ”
When Yu Jiali heard this, she immediately sat back next to the two of them sitting cross-legged, and asked with a pair of smart eyes:
"That's right! Big brother knows Uncle Yu? ”
Yin Seventeen nodded and said, "Yes, this time we will come to Shuiyue Village to find your master, which is the route that Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu told us." ”
Yu Jiali said: "Oh, then what is the matter with you coming to my master?" Is Uncle Yu and Uncle Yu in trouble again? ”
Troublesome?
The four words that Yu Jiali said undoubtedly confirmed the previous speculation of Zhanyan and Yin Seventeen, it seems that Yu Guangnian and his wife really encountered a lot of trouble, so they left Shuiyue Village to buy a house in Hongsha County with the help of Sister Xu.
Zhan Yan asked, "Can you tell us more about the troubles they encountered before?" ”
Yu Jiali tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said:
"No, because I don't know about this matter, Master never let me participate, every time I tell Uncle Yu and Uncle Yu about something important, I am asked to go outside the house to play."
Yin Seventeen asked, "Then how do you know that Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu are in trouble?" ”
Yu Jiali said: "Because the master said it!" But the master only said that Uncle Yu and Uncle Yu were in trouble, so I wanted to be obedient, every time I went outside the house to play, I had to take care of the master, Uncle Yu, and Uncle Yu, if anyone came, I would quickly tell the master! ”
I see.
This is enough to show that the trouble encountered by Yu Guangnian and his wife came from Shuiyue Village, otherwise with the geographical location of this mountain, except for the villagers of Shuiyue Village who would come to this mountain, there would be no one else at all.
Then Sister Xu asked Yu Jiali to control the wind is the villagers of Shuiyue Village.
Yin Qiqi looked at Yu Jiali, who was not familiar with the two of them, but solved the crisis of the two, but she was not the slightest bit guarded, she asked:
"Jiali, you said that your master was killed before we arrived, so do you know who killed your master?"
Yu Jiali shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've been hiding and haven't seen it." ”
Yin Seventeen asked again: "Then your master is dead, aren't you sad and sad?" ”
Yu Jiali responded: "Of course I will be sad, I am sad that I will never see the master again, but the master also said that if the master dies, it is not really dead, but ascended to the immortal realm as an immortal, so the master said that I don't need to be sad...... Although Master said this, I was still a little sad at the thought of never seeing Master again, but I was not sad, because Master's ascension to heaven and immortality was a good thing, and I shouldn't be sad!
