Chapter 50: Into the Night
Before he walked downstairs, Chen Shouyi heard Chen's mother's voice.
"Really, such an evil thing, others can't hide, and you still come over with it, it's really in the eyes of money. ”
"Mom!" Chen Xingyue hugged Chen's mother's arm and said coquettishly:
"I'm a martial arts apprentice, what's there to be afraid of, their family is fine. ”
"What if that dirty thing still recognizes people?" Chen's mother still said uneasily: "People don't even dare to go to relatives, why are you an outsider?"
"If I can't even run, it's not safe for me to stay at home. Mom, don't worry!"
"I'm so. ”
"Alright, alright, since you are going, then be careful at night, and take care of your brother when the time comes. Chen Dawei said.
Chen Shouyi, who was watching Chen Xingyue's jokes next to him, couldn't help but open his mouth when he listened.
I'm already very good, okay!
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
I thought you were bragging.
In his heart, he decided to wait for the restoration of social order and then go to the assessment of martial arts apprentices.
Don't underestimate the identity of a martial apprentice, it is a manifestation of social status in itself.
In other words, it is equivalent to having political power in advance, enjoying the corresponding rights and obligations, and having the status of a militia.
Especially in a small place like Dongning, there is an apprentice of a martial artist, and others will often look up to you, and you can always usher in a look of awe and envy, which is the instinctive reaction of ordinary people in the face of a powerful kind that can easily take their own lives.
If it weren't for Chen Xingyue being a martial arts apprentice, how could his parents agree to go out so easily.
Of course, no one will invite her!
......
The cold moonlight, with a slight chill.
Two figures, one high and one low, walked one in front of the other.
The alley was quiet, and only the footsteps of the two could be heard, which sounded clearly.
Chen Xingyue was dressed in cotton sportswear, carrying a sword box on her shoulder, and holding a mobile phone in her hand to illuminate in front.
Chen Shouyi looked at his mobile phone and finally couldn't help but ask.
"How do you still have electricity?"
"The car is charged, don't you know?"
Chen Shouyi: "......"
If it weren't for Chen Xingyue's reminder, he would have forgotten that the car could be charged.
......
The communities in this area are self-built European-style two-and-a-half-story houses, with independent courtyards, due to the unified planning at the beginning, the community is unified horizontally and vertically, and it does not look messy at all.
It's just that his house is on the side of the street, and he goes out to the street.
Chen Shouyi rarely walks around the community, and now he feels a little unfamiliar when he walks.
At this time, it was not yet seven o'clock, and the streets of the community were empty.
If it weren't for the faint light in the houses on both sides, it would have made people suspect that everyone had gone to bed early.
Uncle Wang's house is easy to find.
The yard of his house was covered with a black tarpaulin, which was dark and seeping.
The iron gate of the courtyard was closed.
The two men went up and knocked on the door, only knocked twice, and the door quickly opened.
Opening the door was Wang Debiao's daughter-in-law, Ah Fen, a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a white filial piety dress and a black cloth flower pinned to her chest.
She had a haggard face and deep bags under her eyes.
Chen Shouyi was quite impressed by her eyes, which were full of panic.
However, anyone who encounters this kind of thing is probably not at ease.
"Oh, Chen Xingyue, you're here, please come in. ”
"Hello Auntie. Chen Xingyue said.
Chen Shouyi also said hello, and walked in with Chen Xingyue.
The courtyard was filled with a faint smell of corpses.
It's very deserted, and there are few people pitiful.
Except for one of Uncle Wang's brothers and two sons, only Wang Debiao's daughter-in-law Ah Fen was the only one, and the rest of the relatives did not come, obviously frightened.
When several people saw Chen Xingyue, they seemed to see a life-saving straw and greeted them one after another.
Uncle Wang's younger brother, an old man of seventy or eighty years old, stood up from the seat, walked over tremblingly, and said.
"Xingyue, it's up to you this time, your martial arts apprentices are full of yang energy, and they can deter evil qi the most, I hope that my younger brother can live a little bit in peace today, we living people can't stand repeated tossing." ”
Most of the old people are superstitious, not to mention that when such a thing happens, they have to believe it.
Chen Xingyue also faced this situation for the first time, a little at a loss, and her face was red: "This ...... I don't know if it's useful?"
"It doesn't matter if it's useless, we'll be relieved to have you. Wang Debiao squeezed out a smile and said.
It's a trivial matter to be able to suppress the evil spirit, but the key is to be brave.
"Yes, yes!" Uncle Wang's second son also echoed, for fear of scaring Chen Xingyue away: "Now my father's body is tied up, it's not dangerous." ”
"Xingyue sit down!" Ah Fen hurriedly beckoned: "And Dawei's son, don't stand." ”
The sister is called by a name, but when it comes to him, he is the son of so-and-so.
The difference in title represents the difference in the status of the two in the hearts of everyone.
Chen Shouyi didn't care, he was used to it.
"I accompanied Xingyue here, I don't know each other. Ah Fen forced a smile and made tea and took snacks.
Chen Shouyi replied perfunctorily.
......
The night was getting deeper.
A few people sat and chatted while drinking strong tea.
The atmosphere of sadness, after the events of these two days, has long since disappeared, and there is only fear and uneasiness.
As they spoke, a few people talked about what happened last night.
The words seem to regret that the body should not have been brought back in the first place, and should have been left to the police.
Call a few people, you say a word, I say a word.
Chen Shouyi also roughly restored the original situation.
It turned out that after Uncle Wang's body was shot down by the police that day, he became like a real corpse, falling to the ground motionless.
The police don't know what to do with this, they don't have this business, and they've never encountered such a weird thing.
Chen Shouyi guessed that these policemen were probably scared enough at that time.
Just as the family of the deceased came, and after explaining the situation, they asked the family to take it back again.
Speaking of which, it is really full of twists and turns.
Chen Shouyi listened to a few words, and then fell silently in a daze.
He glanced at Chen Xingyue, who was holding his mobile phone and was concentrating on playing a game.
I can't help but feel that there is something wrong in my heart, I should have brought this book with me, even if it is to memorize the lingua franca dictionary, it is better than having nothing to do now.
He got up a little bored and walked a few steps around the yard.
At this time, he looked at the mourning hall and couldn't help but be curious, so he walked over.
The others looked at him and didn't stop him.
......
At this time, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the candlelight in the room was flickering, and it was dim, and two white wax wax were jumping and burning on the desk, and most of them had been burned.
There was a strange smell of corpses and incense candles in the air, and a white cloth tent was set up behind the desk.
And Uncle Wang's body was behind the cloth tent.
He subconsciously lightened his steps, slowly walked through the cloth tent, and came to Uncle Wang's corpse to take a look.
The corpse was tightly tied together with ropes and beds, and the skin on it was sallow, without a trace of blood.
Dressed in a shroud, it looks too wide when you put it on, and it is obvious that the muscles of the corpse's body have atrophied.
The body hasn't been cleaned up since it was retrieved last night.
The dusty dark gray shroud already had a few bullet holes on it, and a dull wet stain could be seen on the wound.
Since the shroud was gray, he couldn't tell if it was blood or the fat of the corpse.
In addition to a few bullet holes in the body, the most conspicuous wound was in the head, a bullet that was fired diagonally from the cheek into the brain, leaving a horrible black wound.
At this time, Chen Shouyi suddenly noticed a detail, his nails were a little black, dark and dark.
Moreover, the fingers are still moving slightly from time to time.
