Chapter 409: A Strange Cause of Death

"Since I'm your candidate for the festival, I have to know the cause of his death anyway, and you have to tell me that." I gritted my teeth.

And I always felt like something wasn't right, but I couldn't remember what was wrong for a while.

"She was the way she is because she encountered a wild beast when she was going up the mountain." Lu Lao said as he walked towards the bottom of the stairs.

He walked straight past me and downstairs to the coffin, where the embroidered shoes were still on the side, looking particularly abrupt.

It's like a person lying next to a bed with his shoes next to him and not waking up yet.

"My daughter's death was so unjust, I had a cold that day, so she wanted to go up the mountain to collect some herbs for me, but she never came back." He spoke as he stroked the coffin.

"Then I wonder what kind of beast does such a thing?" Although I sympathize with Lu Lao, it is now related to the safety of my life.

"I don't know, but when I found my daughter, she was covered in bites." After Lu Lao said this, he directly pushed me away and walked upstairs, ignoring me no more.

But after I heard Lu Lao's words, I immediately realized that something was not right.

Because there are a lot of zombie people near this village, these are the monsters they guard around the village, and Xu Wenqiang also told me that these monsters will only attack people and animals outside the village.

So it's basically impossible for a beast to appear around the village and attack his daughter, there are so many zombies around, and these zombies that I have fought with are honestly much more powerful than beasts.

I didn't understand what kind of beast would have attacked his daughter, and I suddenly remembered a man who should know the answer.

I turned around and walked towards the village, and when I was about to leave, I glanced back at Lu Lao's house, only to see Lu Lao standing at the window, quietly watching me leave, but his face looked extremely gloomy.

Not long after I walked into the village, I met Ada, who should now be my and Wang Song's tour guide, and if I want to ask him anything, it should be.

At this time, Ada was sitting on a stool, peeling vegetables, and it seemed that he was preparing to stir-fry for dinner.

After he saw me coming, he put down the vegetables in his hand, picked up the basket casually, and walked towards his room, I followed Ada into it without the slightest hesitation.

Ada didn't close the door after opening it, I knew that Ada had something inconvenient to tell me in a place with so many people, I walked into the room and closed the door casually.

I saw that Ada's room was covered with animal skins on all sides, and except for one window, everything else was covered with animal skins to prevent the wind from blowing in through the cracks.

Ada casually put his food basket on the table, then sat down at the table and looked at me, and said slowly, "If there is anything you want to know, then just ask." ”

Ada seemed to know what I was trying to do, and as soon as I sat down, he asked something like this.

"I'm very strange, that is, how could the cause of death of Lu Lao's daughter be attacked by wild beasts? If I'm not mistaken, there must be quite a few zombies around your village. "I looked straight at Ada.

Ada heard my words, and there were some differences at first, but after he remembered Xu Wenqiang, he immediately understood what was going on.

After all, Xu Wenqiang is his companion, which means that Xu Wenqiang revealed the news of the zombie person to me.

"You're right, there can't be so many beasts near the village, and there are no other beasts within at least a kilometer of the village." Ada nodded, admitting that I was right.

"But if that's the case, then can you tell me why Lu Lao's daughter was attacked and killed by a wild beast, I don't think it's that simple behind this matter." When I asked this, I leaned forward slightly, staring at Ada in front of me.

"This incident is also very strange to be honest, when the people in our village went to look for Lu Lao's daughter, and found that his daughter died less than 500 meters away from the village."

"And if his daughter was attacked at that time, as long as there was a scream, we could hear it, but his daughter died quietly, if it wasn't for Lu Lao telling us to go find his daughter, then we wouldn't know about it."

After listening to Ada's words, I knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and if it was really that easy to find out, I would not give up at all.

And what makes me feel even more strange is that Lu Lao doesn't seem to care very much about his daughter's death, and even I always feel that Lu Lao has no sad expression on his face.

"If that's the case, then why ......" I was about to ask my question when I heard a knock at the door, and Ada immediately made a boo gesture and pulled me behind the curtain to the side, telling me to hide.

I crouched down just in time to notice a small crack inside the curtain that I could barely see out, and through this small slit I saw that when Ada opened the door, a sturdy-looking villager walked in.

"Ada, do you feel like something strange lately?" After this sturdy villager walked in, he spoke without hesitation.

Ada said absentmindedly: "I haven't felt anything strange recently, have you noticed anything strange?" ”

"When I came out to go to the toilet last night, I saw that old man Lu that guy actually secretly walked towards the back mountain, I originally wanted to follow him, but he threw him away, you also know that although our village is relatively safe, but no one will run into the deep mountains and old forests at night."

The villager's face was very solemn, and he looked at Ada and said word by word.

"You mean to say that you think there's something wrong with that guy Old Man Lu?" Ada, who was originally sitting on a stool and drinking cool white water, heard the villagers' words, and his face became extremely gloomy.

"Although it is normal for the old man Lu to want to hold a soul festival for his daughter, this guy also chose the worst date, you also know it in our village, everyone knows some witchcraft, it is impossible not to even look at the date."

After hearing the villagers' words, Ada walked quickly to the side of the calendar, and after he pinched his fingers and counted a few times, the expression on his face became extremely gloomy.

"You read that right, tomorrow is really not suitable for holding a soul festival, but why did that old man Lu do such a thing, and he ran into the deep mountains and old forests at night, what did he want to do?"

The villager sighed helplessly and said, "Originally, it felt very strange that a person died in our village, and I always had some bad premonitions recently, and I don't know what the problem is, so I want to ask you." ”

"No matter what happens now, we can only go according to the original plan, after all, the soul festival is not a trivial matter, we must follow what was planned before." Ada shook his head helplessly.

"Then I'll go back to work first, I just want to tell you about this matter, so that you can pay attention to it at that time, after all, if there is any unexpected truth in this matter, you can still have a way to remedy it."

With that, the villager opened the door and left Ada's house.

From the conversation between the two of them, I knew two things, the first is that the guy named Lu Lao must have something weird, otherwise he wouldn't even guard against Lu Lao in his own village.

The second thing is that Ada's status in Miao Village is not low.
