Chapter 58: Digging a Grave
Xie Daocong was silent, touched the cane in his hand, and continued to speak.
"Is there anything special about him?"
I looked at the little boy seriously several times, and finally shook his head: "He just lies in bed and sleeps, and there is nothing else to do, but he is just wearing a dress." β
Xie Daocong's whole face became more solemn than before, and finally reached out and patted me on the shoulder: "You just stay here, and after I deal with the things over there, I'll come back to you." β
After saying this, he hurried away.
Although he can't see with his eyes, the way he walks is no different from that of ordinary people, and even faster than ordinary people.
I saw his figure disappear before me, and I turned back to look at the little boy.
I saw the little boy sleeping quietly on the bed, unable to wake up for a while, so I took out my mobile phone and played two games.
The phone quickly signaled that the battery was low, and I checked the time when I put the phone in my pocket.
3 p.m.
From the morning to now, the little boy has been sleeping in bed, and even the sleeping position has not changed.
If he really studied, he wouldn't be so tired, and his curriculum was just some simple elementary school textbooks.
Xie Daocong also walked slowly from afar, came to me, and reached out and patted me on the shoulder: "How is it?" β
I shook my head: "Nothing happened, the other party is still sleeping." β
After saying that, I looked up at the room, but suddenly found that there was no one on the bed at all.
But just now I saw that the little boy was still lying on the bed sleeping, why was the blink of an eye gone?
I craned my neck to search the room for the boy, and finally I heard a movement from the door, and then I saw the boy slowly leaving with his backpack on his back.
Xie Daocong naturally heard the commotion, and stretched out his hand to pat me: "What are you doing here?" Don't hurry up and keep up. β
We followed the boy and soon came to a cemetery.
I didn't expect that there are a lot of graves in this cemetery, some new and some old, but there are some tombstones that clearly look from the same period.
Could it be that a lot of people died in the whole village at the same time?
I didn't have time to think about this question before Xie Daocong suddenly reached out and grabbed me and pointed in a direction.
I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that the boy was digging graves!
Then I saw him take something out of it, and that thing happened to be a paper figure.
Although the distance was relatively long, I could clearly see that the paper figure had drawn its eyes.
Although Xie Daocong couldn't see it, he could guess one or two from my reaction, and then he patted his thigh: "I didn't expect it to make me guess." β
"A total of five families in the village were given paper figurines, and of course we were not included."
His expression was unusually solemn when he spoke.
And I can vaguely guess that Wang Jun's aunt and the uncle who died today have nothing to do with the paper man.
I saw the boy carefully put the paper figure into his backpack, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you say that this little boy had nothing to do with putting the paper figure into someone else's house?" β
Xie Daocong shook his head: "Actually, this paper figure was not given by a child, there are other people who do this." β
Hearing this, I also had a taste of it, and I dared to feel that this was still a gang crime.
The little boy had already packed up his things and continued the way he came.
I was going to follow him, wanting to see who sent all these paper figures out, but Xie Daocong grabbed my hand tightly: "He's just a child, even if you follow him, you won't find anything." β
"So what are we going to do now?"
"You go and see the owner of that shop, the owner of the white shop, it's definitely not as simple as he shows."
After Xie Daocong said this, he stood up straight, reached out and patted my head, turned around and walked down.
I followed him down the hill and went first to the boy's house and packed all my things.
Now that I've discovered the boy's secret, I'll be scared if I continue to live in his house. Fortunately, when I was packing my things, the boy didn't come back at all when he was outside, and I didn't have to deal with him.
I followed Xie Daocong to the village chief's house, the village chief pulled his hair at will, and he was not wearing a skirt like before, with a sad face on his face, and when he saw Xie Daocong, he hurriedly stepped forward: "I really don't know who did this kind of thing, just now seven or eight families found out that there were paper people at home, what kind of thing do you say this is?" β
When Xie Daocong heard the news, he didn't show any unusual expression on his face, and found a stool to sit down: "Let them do what I tell them, there will be absolutely no problems." β180
The village chief let out a long sigh: "I let them do all these things you said. If I ever catch any of the boys, I'll definitely skin him! β
Xie Daocong followed the village chief to talk, but secretly knocked me on the leg with a cane.
I quickly understood what he meant, and after a few casual words, I turned and left.
As a matter of urgency, my task was to keep an eye on the owner of the white shop.
The owner of the white shop was not at home, but the door was open.
This makes me breathe a sigh of relief, after all, I only found trouble with the other party this morning, and now it's really embarrassing to follow the other party in this interface.
I looked through a window, but I saw nothing but some coffins, paper men, cigarettes, and candles.
I know that shops like this are generally deserted.
But recently, two people have died in the village one after another, and no matter how deserted the store is, the current owner is very busy.
Suddenly, a hand slapped my butt suddenly.
I jumped up and turned around and saw the young man from the big family.
The young man had a straw in his mouth and looked at me twice: "What are you doing standing here?" Do you want to steal or something? β
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who would run into the coffin shop and steal something. β
The young man shook his head: "Maybeβcity people like you are just weird-tempered, but I have some knowledge." β
There was a lot of contempt in his tone, and he was always squinting, which was really unpleasant.
I saw his eyes, didn't want to entangle with him too much, turned my head and continued to look at the white shop.
But he didn't seem to give up, and slapped me the back.
This time he didn't have the strength to retract, I bared my teeth in pain, and a nameless fire instantly rose, raising my fist and preparing to fight back.
He was seen holding a woodcutter in his hand.
"Yo, if you dare to fight back, believe it or not, I'll give you this." He held the kitchen knife in his hand and stared at me with bad intentions.
Anyway, I can be regarded as a young man of flesh, how can I succumb to the evil forces so casually.
But the clear chopping knife in his hand still made me a little timid.
"My adults don't care about villains, you get out of here now."
The young man smacked, held out a finger to threaten me, and slowly walked away.
Seeing him turn around, I lunged up and kicked him in the back, followed by a few punches to the head.
This move is still a move I learned from Wei Huarong's fight before.
Show weakness at the beginning, and wait for the other party to lower their guard before making a move.
The young man didn't expect me to sneak attack, so he quickly reached out and hugged his head: "You guy is really shameless, you have the ability to fight the two of us alone!" β
"Phew! You're my defeated now. β
I specially picked the more painful parts of the person's body, got up after venting my anger, and kicked him: "Next time, if you are rude, don't blame my brother for opening your head." β
The young man swore and stood up, and I swung my fist at him several more times.
He felt a little timid in his heart and turned away.
But he didn't go far before he picked up a rock from the ground and smashed it right at my head.
Fortunately, the stone didn't hit.
When he had finished throwing the stone, he quickly turned and left.
I looked at him, and I didn't plan to keep catching up, after all, my most important purpose now was to keep an eye on the boss.
But now I'm going to change direction and stand outside the window staring at people, which is easy for others to spot.
But if I walk in, it's not so easy to spot.
Thinking of this, I walked in through the door and found a relatively hidden place to squat.
As soon as I squatted down, I heard footsteps in the store, and I saw the boss staggering in.
