Chapter 255: Tragedy Continues
The woman endured her grief and said: "The baby is gone! There is a famine in the village, even Liu Zhuzi's family is often hungry, and the family has no food, and it is not easy for the big girl to survive." β
"Ahββ!" Liu Zhong wailed bitterly after hearing this, the whole person almost collapsed, and when he came back in a few years, he earned some money in his hand, but he heard that his son was gone, and the grief can be imagined.
Chen Hao, Qian Hao, and Qian Yue's father and daughter had already rushed over, and when they saw this scene, the father and daughter also showed sadness.
The poor can better understand the suffering of the poor, Qian Hao stepped forward, patted Liu Zhong on the shoulder and persuaded: "Brother, cry! People are miserable in this life, and after suffering, they will be liberated."
His voice was full of desolation, and it also revealed his life experience.
Some people are here to comfort and take care of it, it can be much better, and Liu Zhong's return has also attracted the attention of the villagers, and many people have come out to comfort when they see this scene.
Although everyone can only take care of each family in the famine year, but they haven't seen each other for many years, they should still be cared for, and there is no material at least emotionally to help.
"Alas" for a long time, Liu Zhong and his wife walked into the house with everyone's support. After a while, his eldest daughter also rushed home, and the father and daughter saw each other, hugged each other and cried, but this also made Liu Zhong's mood a little better.
After relieving, he seemed to have aged ten years, Liu Zhong thought of Qian Hao and the others, and muttered: "Qian Lao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you to take care of it, there are only two of us left in this family now, and your father and daughter will live here temporarily." β
Qian Hao and Qian Yue nodded without hesitation after hearing this, this family is relatively simple and there is only one couple, of course it is safe to live in this house.
"As for Little Brother Chen" Liu Zhong hesitated, squinted at a rugged man next to him and said, "Brother Liu Tong is alone now, and there are many houses at home, why don't you think about it?"
In fact, he didn't trust this young man, although he seemed harmless to humans and animals, but he was separated from people's stomachs, especially claiming that he was here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. This cannot be believed in any way, unless he hides otherwise.
"Yes. Chen Hao nodded without hesitation, and from beginning to end, his face was quite peaceful, harmless to humans and animals.
"Okay!" Liu Zhong nodded, looked at the rugged man named Liu Tong and said, "In this case, you can talk about the rent, these days, it is not easy to make some money, almost enough." β
"Okay-" Liu Tonghao shouted in a low voice, stretching out his hand to beckon Chen Hao towards his house.
This man was quite rude, and said without the slightest hesitation: "Little brother, my name is Liu Tong, and I am a single person!" The village has just experienced a famine, and although there is food now, it is relatively tight, and the price of the house is low, but the food is much more expensive. β
"Money is not an issue. I didn't think that Chen Hao would open his mouth to respond, this kind of thing has never been heard of by the people in the village.
They are used to being poor, how can they ever be so arrogant?
Liu Tong was stunned when he heard this, snorted in a low voice, and walked into the room.
"You live in a side room, there is an earthen kang there, and you can make your own fire. Before closing the door, Chen Hao heard the other party's instructions, as if he didn't want to take care of himself anymore, the two sides were not the same class, as if the landlord was living in a farmer's house.
Chen Hao smiled slightly, and walked into the wing room alone, the conditions in the house were simple but quite regular, the soil kang had not been used for a long time, there were shabby quilts, and there were many bits and pieces on the table.
Undelied, he sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated quietly.
In the past few days, Qian Hao, Qian Yue's father and daughter often walked in the village, and at the same time they also searched the nearby mountains, not to mention any sunflowers, even wild vegetables are very few!
The famine had scraped the village to the ground, and there was no oil or water at all, so it was certain that there was nothing good in the nearby hills.
The father and daughter can only continue to expand the search range, while Chen Hao has always stayed in the house, and did not follow the father and daughter to play in the mountains and rivers as he said, but his whereabouts are quite strange, he does not go out or eat during the day, and only quietly goes out of the house at night.
But no one found out about going out at night.
But this still made the people in the village frown, and there were many discussions behind their backs, and all kinds of rumors continued. The first to bear the brunt was Liu Tong, and his psychology began to beat the drum.
I took in a person of unknown origin, and stayed in the house all day without going out, although I could earn some money, my heart was still empty. He occasionally peeked at Chen Hao's situation in the house, but this guy seemed to be an old man, staying in the house all day long, and he didn't have any special behavior.
After a few days of voyeurism, there was no abnormality, so he forcibly suppressed the anxiety and ignored it again.
Soon, however, something was wrong with the village! first the birds were in a frenzy, then all were dying, and the impoverished village had just experienced a famine, which made it even worse!
If that's all it is okay, another three days have passed, and the situation has changed suddenly!
"Ahββ!" A terrible scream appeared, a large number of villagers gathered at the door of Liu Shan's house in the east of the village, people panicked, and all gathered around, only to see three people hanging on the crooked neck tree in the yard, all with wide eyes and bloody tears.
Although they were close to the border, they were not peaceful, but they had never seen such a strange tragedy.
All kinds of exclamations and speculations were mixed, and the old people gathered together to discuss the incident.
"Village chief!" the short-haired old man looked at the white-bearded old man in the first seat and said in a lamented voice: "This must be an invasion of foreign evil spirits! β
"yesβ" The others around them echoed, nodding their heads.
The white-bearded old man frowned at this moment, although he could suspect anyone in this matter, but there was no evidence, and their village could not rely on others at will.
After thinking about it, the village chief replied in a deep voice: "Investigate first! Don't blame others indiscriminately, our village doesn't chew the root of the tongue on weekdays." β
"But-" The villagers were not convinced, but this was the truth, after all, there was no evidence, and it was pointless to speculate.
Although the matter was suppressed, there was already a gap between the outsiders and the villagers, and the first outsiders to bear the brunt were, of course, Qian Hao, Qian Yue and Chen Hao.
Of course, when seeing the weak appearance of Qian Hao and Qian Yue's father and daughter, the suspicion has been instinctively ruled out by many people. The rest is naturally Chen Hao, although there is no evidence, everyone's attitude towards him is extremely difficult to see, and some people are even secretly spying on him.
But the tragedy that followed became more and more serious! They were cramped or skinned, and each of them died miserably, even if these three outsiders were under the eyes of the villagers, and some people still died one after another! Some people even rumored that this was a terrible ghost from the border!
The atmosphere of fear was pervasive, and the villagers could no longer hold on and rushed to leave, but there were still some people who did not want to leave for various reasons. Including Qian Hao, Qian Yue's father and daughter and Chen Hao.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
