Although the smell that permeated the Li family was very unpleasant, Xu Guodong frowned and endured it, he didn't know if the daughter-in-law of the Li family really got used to the smell, or if she couldn't smell it at all, it didn't mean anything to Xu Guodong.

The main purpose of his coming here was to see if he could get some clues from the Li family kid.

Let's see if this kid of the Li family, who was originally very strong, suddenly died not long after, whether it was related to a series of strange things that happened in the village.

After taking two steps towards the main house, Xu Guodong suddenly stopped, and he found that he seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, he didn't even ask along the way, why did this Li family kid suddenly die, was he sick, or something else happened? ?

"Careless"

If he asks the daughter-in-law of the Li family what kind of situation her husband is when he leaves home, he can also make some judgments through this situation, and he will not need to come here if he can't say it.

"Mr. Xiao Xu, enter the house~"

Someone in the house greeted him, and that person Xu Guodong recognized that he was the elder of the Li family and the old man in the village.

"Auntie."

Xu Guodong shouted, it was a greeting, the elders had already spoken, and it was too late to retreat at this time.

He could only bite the bullet and walk into the room, and after entering the main room, the strange smell became more and more intense, and the room was filled with smoke, as if it was on fire.

When I looked up, I saw a table in the corner of the main room, and there was a pile of incense and candles on the table, which turned out to be an incense case, which was obviously much more solemn, and the incense was not an ordinary bowl or any jar, but a real incense burner.

Although this kind of thing is not an important thing in the countryside, but in that dilapidated environment, Xu Guodong has really never seen a few families have this kind of thing, and even if there is, it is mostly hidden.

It is really a very rare thing for the Li family to place it in the main house with such fanfare, and to worship something.

There were two people in the smoke-shrouded room, one sitting on the edge of the kang and the other lying in the corner, and the smoke in the room covered the two men with a white veil, and their faces could be faintly recognized in the haze.

Sitting there was the Li family elder who had just beckoned Xu Guodong in, and the person lying in the corner should be the Li family kid if nothing else.

"Auntie, brother of the Li family, this is..."

Xu Guodong stood at the door and did not go forward, although he was still familiar with the Li family, but he had never entered the Li family, in the current situation of the village, the situation of the Li family had to make Xu Guodong think more.

The vigilance was raised to the highest, and he tidied up his clothes, so that the oil paper bag in his arms was closer to his body, Xu Guodong was a little worried at this time, he didn't know if the peace charm was wrapped in oil paper and could still play a role, but now is definitely not a good time to take out the peace charm.

"Xiao Xu, come here, my baby has a few words I want to say to you."

The person sitting there beckoned, signaling Xu Guodong to walk over, respecting the elders is the traditional etiquette of the Chinese nation, although the situation is strange at the moment, but nothing has happened, Xu Guodong can't save the face of the old man, so he can only walk over hard.

Although he looked calm and indifferent, he was panicked in his heart.

His eyes couldn't help but sweep towards the tablet on the incense case, wanting to see what the Li family was enshrined.

But the smoke around the tablet on the incense table was too thick, even if it was very close, there was no way to see what was written on it, as if the smoke just didn't want Xu Guodong to see the words on it.

"Xiao Xu, come here."

The tone of the Li family's aunt was very gentle, with a little kindness, Xu Guodong had no way to read what was written on the tablet clearly, and he couldn't refuse the elder's request at the moment, so he could only turn his head to look at the Li family's aunt, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Next to the Li family's aunt is the person lying down, according to the Li family's daughter-in-law, this person should be the Li family brother he knows, what the big name is Xu Guodong can't remember anymore, and he usually says hello when he meets, nods, and shouts Brother Li when he needs to call someone.

I really didn't think that this brother Li, who was not very familiar with him, would come to him at the dying stall to ask for something.

The two families are not close, but they are not very far, if the brother of the Li family wants to find someone who can take care of the remaining two after his death, then it should not just ask him to come over alone, Xu Guodong knows that there are several people in this Lin family village who have a good relationship with this Li brother.

But when he entered the house, he didn't see any of them.

The person lying on the kang was wrapped in a quilt all over, which was very strange.

It stands to reason that even if a person is sick, he can't cover his face, and it's still summer, although it's raining outside and it's cold in the house, but there is no need to cover the patient with such a thick quilt when the fire is so hot.

Yes, the man was covered with a quilt that was only covered in winter, and there was more than one, two quilts were stacked on top of each other, and from the outside, it could only be vaguely seen that there was a humanoid thing pressed underneath.

It's hard to say what it is, whether it's a person or not.

The room was hot, and the strange smell made it even more boring.

Walking in front of the Li family's aunt, keeping a distance of about two steps from her, Xu Guodong bent down slightly, and turned his head sideways to check the situation of the Li family's child, but the quilt was too tightly covered, and nothing could be seen from the outside, only a little hair.

"Auntie, Brother Li, what is he?"

Xu Guodong didn't go to lift the quilt, after all, when he arrived at someone's house, such a move was a bit unintentional about treating himself as an outsider, not to mention that if it was possible, he really didn't want to lift the quilt, he always felt that there was something terrible hidden in the quilt.

The situation of the Li family exudes this strange smell everywhere, and as he walks into this Li family boy, the pungent smell around him seems to be even stronger.

It's like the source of the taste, which comes from this person who is wrapped in two layers of quilts.

The body of a living person does not exude that kind of rotten smell, and in the smell in the air, there is a smell of something rotten, which is very weird, but it is extremely obvious, but neither the Li family's aunt nor the Li family's little daughter-in-law show any abnormality.

This is the biggest abnormality in Xu Guodong's view.

Xu Guodong even wanted to leave here now, leave the Li family, and let Hou find Lin Laosan to tell him about the Li family's strange behavior, but at this time, he only entered the main house of the Li family, and he didn't see anything, he didn't hear anything, although everything seemed very weird.

But these things may not be strange things for Lin Laosan.

Lin Laosan is very busy now, and since Xu Guodong has decided to rely on his own strength to investigate some things and try to help solve the things that happened in Linjia Village, he can't rely on Lin Laosan all the time.

Although Lin Laosan has many means, although he arrives here, it is likely that he will investigate everything clearly in a short period of time, but if he disturbs Lin Laosan at this time, and there is actually nothing abnormal here, he will go to Lin Laosan in the future, will he believe that it is a problem again.

Although Xu Guodong didn't know the story of the wolf, he also understood a similar truth, since he wanted to find someone to help and help the other party, he had to find accurate evidence, otherwise people might look at the situation once or twice, but if something really went wrong later, people still thought you were joking, and things would be bad.

"Now that we're here, let's see what the situation is!"

Cheering himself up from the bottom of his heart, Xu Guodong calmed down, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and took another step forward...
