"Xiaoshu, you are amazing, you still know this."

Wang Heng likes this tiger-headed child from the bottom of his heart.

"I listened to what Hong'er said, she also said that her eldest sister was sent away and never came back, and the second sister always woke up crying in the middle of the night, saying that the eldest sister is pitiful, and one day their sisters will escape."

"How old are Yuan Hong'er's two sisters?"

"Well, the eldest sister is very big, she seems to be in her twenties? The second sister is also fifteen or sixteen years old, right? Xiaoshu thought for a while: "But I don't seem to have seen her eldest sister in the past, but I heard Hong'er say that the eldest sister's name is Ya'er." She said that she was still very young at that time, and the eldest sister once hugged her and cried when no one was around, and said to her that my name is Ya'er, you must remember. ”

The village chief thought for a while and said, "Since our family returned to the village, I really haven't seen the eldest daughter of Yaozu's family. ”

"What about the second daughter?"

The village chief thought about it and shook his head blankly: "The second child of his family doesn't seem to have seen it. Little tree, have you seen it all? ”

"I met my second sister once, but she ignored me. Carrying a basket on her back, she went up the mountain to collect medicine, and it didn't take long to hear that her family had sold her. ”

"This is strange, the Yaozu family can't say how rich it is, but it won't sell its sons and daughters."

Yes, the more the two daughters of this Yuan Yaozu family heard it, the more strange they felt.

The Yuan family has been in an accident for so long, and the two daughters haven't gotten any news?

In the afternoon, the people sent by the village chief came back and said that there was no Yuan Yaozu's daughter in Xiaowang Village and Gujing Village next door. They don't know any Yuan Yaozu, which means that the Yuan family has been telling lies.

Where did the missing sisters go?

Wang Heng decided to go back to the original point and start the search from the original crime scene.

You might even find some clues.

Under the leadership of the village chief. He came to Yuan Yaozu's house, Xiaofeng and Xiaoshu, and followed not far away.

When I entered the courtyard, as the village chief said, this is not a poor family that lives by selling children and daughters. Yuan Yao's ancestral house is at the west end of the village, backed by a mountain, and the topography of this village is a basin, surrounded by mountains. The courtyard wall of Yuan Yaozu's house is very high, and it is tighter than other houses in the village. The house is four main rooms, and there are two separate small houses in the backyard I don't know what they are for.

According to the village chief. On the day of the accident, Yuan Yaozu and the son of the stable woman and his sister-in-law. They were all waiting in the outer hall, and it was said that the son of the woman was sitting at the table by the window, and he was a boy who was reading a book at that time. The next day, when he found his body, he was still clutching a book in his hand.

"Yaozu is lying here. Paw prints all over his body. The clothes were torn. The stomach was empty, and the entrails were eaten. ”

The village chief pointed in the direction of the middle of the hall.

The sister-in-law of the Yuan family leaned her back against the wall and fell in the corner. The heart was taken out, and the eyes were very scary. The village chief pointed to the corner.

At this time, he turned around and saw the little tree standing at the door, and said sternly: "Little tree, there is a lot of yin here, you can't come." Miss Feng'er took Xiaoshu back in trouble. ”

Feng'er glanced at Wang Heng, saw Wang Heng nodding, took Xiaoshu's hand and said, "Let's go home." ”

Xiao Shu pouted and looked at Wang Heng: "General, you have to remember our agreement." ”

"I remember, you go back."

Xiao Shu looked at the village chief hesitantly, took Xiao Feng's hand and walked outside the courtyard, his eyes staring at the situation in the courtyard with good eyes.

The mother and the mother, as well as two assistants, died in the bedroom.

It was an ordinary bedroom, no one had been here since the accident, and there was dust all over the bed on the floor.

"God, what is this?"

The village chief pointed to the ground.

I saw two rows of plum blossom-like footprints on the ground. Wang Heng squatted down and compared it with his palm, it was about the same size as his palm, the appearance of a five-petal plum blossom was very similar to a dog's footprints, what dog could have such a big footprint?

The village chief's face turned white in an instant, and he couldn't help but look around the room, fearing that a biting monster would jump out from under the bed or from a corner of the room.

Wang Heng pressed the sidecar on his waist and said, "Don't panic, you can see everything in this room, and it's impossible to hide anything." ”

Coming out of the bedroom, the two of them walked to the small house in the backyard.

"What is this house for?"

Wang Heng thought that he slept in a similar small house last night.

The village station hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Our village is surnamed Yuan, in the early years it was the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, after the fall of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the ancestors moved here with the clansmen, and established this small village, because they have been worried about being found by the enemy, when the ancestors built the house, many families built tunnels, and the entrance of the tunnel was in the backyard, and a two-room small house was generally built, which was full of sundries and was used as a shield. ”

"You mean, many of your villages have tunnels. Where does it lead? ”

"Many people have it, but in the past thousands of years, many people's homes are afraid that they have collapsed, I heard my grandfather say in the early years, the earliest tunnels were connected to every household, all the way to the mountains, my family's one has collapsed, but the habit has not changed, and there is still a small house in the backyard."

"You come looking for it, where is the tunnel?"

Opening the door of the small house, Wang Heng felt that he saw a glimmer of light in the fog.

The killing of Yuan Yao's ancestral family and the loss of Yuan Dalong's grandson are not the same thing. There were so many people in Yuan Yaozu's family at that time, it was impossible for someone to sneak in and kill people over the wall.

The village chief walked into the small house, and soon found the tunnel door under the kang table, it turned out that the kang against the wall was the entrance to the tunnel, the village chief moved the kang table, and with a bang, the kang opened a mouth, and a strange rancid smell came to his face.

The village chief couldn't help but take a step back and said, "It stinks. ”

It was dark in the tunnel, and after a while, the dust cleared, and through the light of the doors and windows, I saw that this was actually a cellar, and in the middle of it was the corpse of a woman. It is said that it is a woman because there are still clothes hanging on the skeleton, and the hair is still there, scattered randomly, and it is obviously a woman's dress.

"It's ......"

The village chief was stunned, who is this white bone?

Wang Heng looked at the figure of the skeleton and judged that this should be an adult woman.

He sighed and said, "Maybe this is the Yuan Ya'er who is said to have been sent away as a child daughter-in-law?" ”

"But, why did she die here?"

The village chief felt that his brain was running out of ideas.

"That's what she never did, she stayed here until she died. It should have been two or three years since this happened. ”

There was sadness in Wang Heng's tone that could not be concealed, he looked at the situation in this room, there were kangs, cabinets, and stoves, this room was obviously not just for stacking sundries, if Yuan Ya'er had actually been imprisoned here, it would be reasonable, but why did the Yuan family lock up their eldest daughter here and throw her into the cellar after she died?

The village chief also found that this room was wrong, so he directly opened the curtain and walked into another room, exclaiming, "There is also a kang here." ”

The kang in both rooms is the same, and the kang table is also similar. The village chief moved the table again, and there was a hole on the kang with a bang, and a fresh air came out of the tunnel, and the village chief took a deep breath and said in surprise: "Oh my God, this tunnel can lead to the mountains, I smell it, it is the smell of the mountains, there is the fragrance of grass and wild flowers." (To be continued......)

PS: What's going on with the two daughters of the Yuan family? Seeing this, everyone has already guessed who this matter has to do with it, right? Why did Yuan Ya'er cry and say to Hong'er, remember that my name is Ya'er?
