Chapter 23: The New Moon
"The tomb is broken, and the reason why the witch still stays here is because she wants to find her child." Eleven explained to the crowd.
"You mean the woman who saw the red? However, there are so many people who are pregnant, why is it that woman? Lin Haotian asked puzzled.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the first tomb robbery." Han Leng pushed his glasses and took over the conversation and said.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Chenyang and Lin Haotian asked in unison.
"Here are my conjectures, just for reference." Han Leng said solemnly, "When Eleven and I first arrived, Zeng Jin investigated the construction site of the ancient tomb a little. At that time, I had heard from the workers that the ancient tomb had been stolen before the archaeological team came. It's not sure what was stolen, but the hole was found and it's very new. Suppose that the woman's husband is also working on the construction site, digging up the ancient tomb, and secretly digging a hole to rob the tomb at night when he is greedy for money, then the witch who has been stolen naturally wants to find her own things, right? ”
"But what does that have to do with pregnant women and children?" Zhu Chenyang asked puzzled.
"Private property and babies, all there, kill two birds with one stone." Eleven said lightly.
The hearts of the people were in shock, if this was the case, the pregnant woman was in danger!
"Eleven!" Han Leng looked at Eleven, he was not a professional exorcist at all, and he couldn't be sure if his conjecture was correct, so he had to ask the experienced Eleven.
"I know. Although Han Lengge's speculation sounds ridiculous, it is the most likely explanation. We're going to do everything we can to find that woman. Eleven's eyes were full of solemnity, and he got up and said to the other three.
"Then what are you waiting for, go to Yuxi Village first!" Zhu Chenyang couldn't wait to stand up, picked up his coat and put it on himself. Han Leng and Lin Haotian didn't dare to delay, hurriedly put on their clothes and left the hotel, stopped the car, and the four of them rushed in the direction of Yuxi Village.
"Oh, it's getting dark." When the four of them arrived at Yuxi Village, it was already evening, Zhu Chenyang looked up and saw that the sun was already shaking, and he was about to sink into the horizon, and said with some dissatisfaction, Eleven's lunch has not been eaten yet, is this because she can't even eat dinner? He hates his sister's irregular eating habit very much, and it will damage his body!
"It's better for us to find that woman quickly, I have a bad premonition." Lin Haotian said solemnly.
"Qi, can you have any bad premonitions. One of the magic sticks! Zhu Chenyang was in a bad mood, so he naturally got into a fight with Lin Haotian.
Before Lin Haotian could refute, he saw an old man coming over slowly smoking a cigarette, "Yo, isn't this the young man I saw in the ancestral hall this afternoon?" Why are you back? ”
"Uncle! It just so happens that we have some things, can the old man help? Zhu Chenyang turned around, just in time to see the old village chief coming over, and said excitedly.
"Say, what's the matter? I can help! The old village chief took two puffs of cigarette and said.
"Old ...... Woo woo...... "As soon as Zhu Chenyang wanted to speak, Lin Haotian on the side stepped forward and covered his mouth. Zhu Chenyang's intestines only have a straight path, so it's better not to talk too much, so as not to be self-defeating.
"What's wrong?" The old village chief looked at Zhu Chenyang, who was struggling, suspiciously, and asked Eleven and Han Leng, "What does he have to say?" ”
"He didn't say anything." Han Leng adjusted his facial expression, and said gentlemanly, "Uncle, in fact, the four of us are students, and we know that the ancient tomb has been dug up here, so we will come over and take a look, we really want to know some stories behind the ancient tomb, and we want to ask the old man all some questions." ”
Looking at Han Leng with a gentle expression and polite behavior, the old village chief couldn't help but feel good in his heart, and said with a smile, "You ask." ”
"Then thank you in advance, uncle!" Han Leng said with a little gratitude, "How the ancient tomb was discovered, do you know, uncle?" ”
"Young man, just call me the old village chief, that's what everyone in the village calls me. This tomb was inadvertently dug up when we were building a road. Everyone knows this locally. The old village chief found a big clean stone and sat down at random, and continued with some distress. Really, just build a good road, what kind of tombs to dig! I also dug up a few of my trees! ”。
"Trees?" Lin Haotian hurriedly let go of Zhu Chenyang and asked the old village chief, "You planted the trees next to the ancient tomb?" ”
"Not exactly, some of them grow on their own." The old village chief said unhurriedly.
"Those old locust trees ......," Lin Haotian asked the old village chief tentatively.
"Oh, those are the ones we planted. The rule in our Yuxi village is that every child born there will be planted a locust tree, hoping that they will thrive like the locust tree. The old village chief said with emotion, "It's a pity that in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer plantings, alas! ”
Lin Haotian and Eleven looked at each other, they didn't expect those old locust trees to come like this, it is estimated that the number of locust trees has become less and less over the years, and the archaeological team has dug up a few more, and the power of the soul binding array can no longer suppress the female demon, so she can only appear.
"Uncle, I heard that there have been a lot of things going on in your village recently?" Han asked coldly.
"You've heard about it, too!" The old village chief took a low puff on his cigarette, "Yes." First Dazhu's daughter-in-law saw Hong and went to the hospital, and then Jiajia was lost, and she hasn't been found yet, really! You said what a good child Jiajia is, everyone in the village likes her, and I don't know when the police will find the child, alas......" The old village chief let out a long sigh, and some of his rickety bodies leaned against the big tree next to the stone, which looked particularly desolate in this gradually gray evening.
The four of them looked at each other silently, and finally Han Leng continued to ask, "Old village chief, the person who entered the hospital, do you know which hospital he is in?" ”
In winter, it gets dark very early, and it is also very dark, and the windows of every house in Yuxi Village are full of lights, reflecting the stars in the sky For eleven or fourteen people from big cities, this is a very rare scene, eleven raised his head to look at the bright stars in the sky and said nothing.
The dry tobacco in the old village chief's hand was almost smoked, and he took the cigarette stick and knocked the stone under his buttocks hard, knocking out all the cigarette ash on the pole, "Oh, you mean Fang Yu, there are still a few hospitals in this small place, isn't it the Third People's Hospital of Fengxian City, what do you ask her to do?" ”
"Just ask." Han Leng pretended not to care and said.
"Eleven." Zhu Chenyang saw that Eleven had been looking up at the sky, tugged at the corner of her clothes, and called her in a low voice.
"It's getting dark this day, do you young people want to go to my house for a meal before going back?" The old village chief put the cigarette stick away from his waist and asked kindly.
Before Han Leng could answer, he only heard a Qingyue voice say lightly, "No, thank you old village chief." I don't know if you can't tell us where we have a car to take us back to Fengxian City? ”
Han Leng and the three of them looked at Eleven in surprise, she rarely interjected when someone was around, but once she interjected, there must be something important. When the three of them saw that Eleven had opened their mouths, they didn't say anything more, just looked at the old village chief, waiting for his answer.
"Cars?" The old village chief touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "Our village is not open to traffic, if you don't dislike it, let my son drive you back on a small four-wheeler." ”
"Then I'm sorry for you." Eleven looked at the old village chief calmly and said lightly.
"Then you wait here. I'll go back and call my son. With that, the old village chief walked slowly towards his house.
"Eleven, what's wrong?" Han Leng rarely saw Eleven look so anxious. That's right, Eleven is anxious right now. The more anxious she was, the calmer her face became, Han Leng had known her for more than ten years, and he still knew her a little.
Eleven looked up at the starry sky calmly, and the sky was full of bright stars, but the brightest moon was not visible.
"It's the New Moon!"
