Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Second Sun Village
Brother Huo walked in front to lead the way, I looked at the mess all the way, the light smoke that had already cooled down everywhere, the fire didn't seem to be extinguished, I could still feel the burning of my skin and the blood in my nose.
Did Du Qingchen turn into my appearance again this time?
Will the "living mouth" that I found with Xiaofan in the cabin identify me in the next place and say that I am the murderer of this massacre?
Whether it was Sun Village or Niujia Village, I could hear the desperate cries of those villagers when they died, and the curses of resentment against me.
Du Qingchen and I, it's time to meet. Before, I was afraid that I would not be able to hide, but now, I am afraid that he will not come.
Brother Huo took us to a relatively lightly burned room, which seemed to have just been cleaned, with a bare clay kang, a table with one leg missing from two stools, a ventilated window, and just a beam of moonlight shining in on the child's shoes on the ground.
Ink walked over quickly, picked up his shoes and threw them out the window.
We sat down around the table, and before I could speak, Xiao Fan first asked Brother Huo what happened.
According to Brother Huo, after I left with Shui Mo, the villagers' attitude towards them eased a lot, coupled with the relationship between Avrelle and Bai Ye's good dishes, I pulled the villagers to eat and drink and brag when I had nothing to do.
After a meal, when everyone was sitting together and chatting, one of the villagers suddenly suggested that they should find a time to go to Sun Village and bury the villagers of Sun Village.
Avzhele is naturally very much in favor of it, and Bai Ye and they also feel that Sun Village is kind to us after all, and they will suffer such a catastrophe, and we can't escape the blame. After so many days, there are still corpses everywhere, and it is really unreasonable.
After everyone reached a consensus, the villagers began to put forward their opinions one by one.
Later, I don't know who proposed to rebuild Sun Village, and Bai Ye also agreed with this proposal. In the end, everyone decided that since they wanted to rebuild Sun Village, it would be better to build it and all the villagers simply move into Sun Village, otherwise it would become a deserted village after a long time.
This decision can be said to be passed by all members, but later some villagers proposed that the straight-line distance between Sun Village and Niujia Village is actually not far, and the key is how to cross the mountain separation.
As soon as this question came out, everyone ran out of ideas, and Avzhele could not hide his loss. Later, Bai Ye said that this matter was left to him to figure out a way. Afterwards, Bai Ye discussed with Brother Huo and asked him to make a hole from Tuoling Peak.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Didn't you already build a tunnel behind the village before?" Why do you want to fight another one from Tuoling Peak? ”
Brother Huo said, "I also told Bai Ye at the time, but Bai Ye said that the cave is too long, and there are too many elderly people and pregnant women in the village, and I am worried that they will not be able to bear it." There is also the fear that the villagers will be suspicious, how can a good village not be silent, and there is an extra hole for no reason. If it is from Tuoling Peak, the distance is short, and it can be said that Hu Dachuan's group dug it at that time. At that time, we estimated that Hu Dachuan and they were no longer in Tuoling Peak, and there were still traces of their residence there, saying that they dug it in advance, so it was easy to fool the past. ”
I asked, "But didn't you say that the mountain body of Tuoling Peak should not be made any more holes?" ”
"Yes, but Bai Ye said let me walk around the mountain a few more times and try to find it, to see if I can find a suitable hole point."
"And then? What does all this have to do with their deaths? ”
Brother Huo sighed and blamed himself, "That night, when I left to go to Tuoling Peak to make a hole, something happened in the village...... Originally, the housekeeper said that he would come with him to help, but I didn't appreciate it, and now that I think about it, it was better to ...... at that time."
My heart tightened, waiting for Brother Huo to continue.
Brother Huo said, "That night, I circled Tuoling Peak for most of the night, and finally at the foot of a mountain, I found a position that was barely suitable for making a hole. Because I know the state of the mountain of Tuoling Peak, so I was very careful all the way, and when I hit out, it was already dawn, and I returned the same way in a hurry, thinking of going back to tell Bai Ye the good news, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got out of the hole, the mountain collapsed...... I had a bad premonition at that time, and I always felt uneasy. I hurriedly ran back, just got back...... I saw ......" Brother Huo paused and looked up at me, "When I went back, the whole village was already burning, and there were corpses all over the ground, some of them were missing their internal organs, some of them were missing limbs, and almost every corpse was burned by fire...... I was looking for Bai Ye while fighting the fire, but ......"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but tremble.
The ink shook me, "Xiaobai...... Would you like to take a moment and listen again? ”
I shook my head, "Go on." ”
Brother Huo said, "I can't put out such a big fire by myself, in fact, in the end, the fire is extinguished, basically because there is nothing to burn...... I was stupefied, and when I came to my senses, I immediately thought of informing you. I remember when you left that you said that you were going to the black market, I immediately ran outside and looked for evil spirits who could communicate everywhere, trying to get them to help me spread the news, but the news that came back to me said that I didn't see you in the black market. I thought that the two of you had already left, and then I guessed that the only place you could go was the Shangxian family, and I tried to pass the news over there, and finally contacted this kid. Brother Huo said, raising his chin at the ink.
I thought of the time when Brother Huo was looking for me, I happened to be in the side room of the black market, and it was no wonder that those evil spirits didn't find me.
I asked, "Why are you sure that Du Qingchen did this?" Listening to Shui Mo, the message you sent directly pointed to Du Qingchen, did you find something? ”
Brother Huo shook his head, "I didn't think so much at the time, just look at this Niujia Village, whether it is slaughtering the village or setting fire, it is simply the second Sun Village, when the Sun Village had an accident and almost wronged the little brother, didn't you just say that Du Qingchen and them did it?" So I think that this incident in Niujia Village is also him. ”
Xiao Fan suddenly asked, "When you returned to Niujia Village, there was no one alive?" ”
I know that when Xiao Fan asked this, he remembered the people in the cabin.
"No, not even a single livestock left......"
If everyone was dead at the time, who was the one who went to the cabin? There should be no other villages near that grassland.
Shui Mo asked, "Xiaobai, do you think something is wrong?" ”
I was just about to speak, but Xiao Fan said, "It's too late today, let him rest first." ”
Brother Huo said, "Yes, yes...... Rest first, but there is only one room in the village that can be used, so let's just spend the night first, and then make plans tomorrow morning, what do you see? ”
Little Pink nodded.
"Xiaobai, you sleep in the bed, I will lie on the table with Brother Huo to deal with it for one night, and the words of the immortals ......" Shui Mo looked at Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan walked to the edge of the bed, sat on the ground, leaned back, hugged his hands on his chest and leaned on the side of the bed and fell asleep.
Ink patted me, "Xiaobai, go to sleep too, don't think about anything, have a good rest." ”
I walked up to Xiaofen, "Do you want to come up and sleep?" ”
Xiao Fan opened his eyes and looked at me, I realized that what I had just asked was a little strange, I looked back at Shui Mo and Brother Huo, the two of them also looked at me with strange faces, I was embarrassed for a while, and continued, "I mean you sleep on the bed, I sleep on the ground." ”
Xiaofan didn't speak, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
I lay in bed, sleepless. Even though my body is exhausted to the extreme, I still can't sleep. Tossing and turning, as soon as you close your eyes, you will see those charred corpses, and there are constant sounds of begging for mercy and help in your ears......
I closed my eyes and saw Bai Ye rubbing his beard while glaring at me, and his mouth kept counting me......
I saw him lying on a wicker chair in a small shop humming a little song, I saw him squatting in the back alley to meet stray cats and dogs, I saw him pick up vegetables and drink with me, I saw his eyes rolling when he drove the train, I saw him slap the back of my head hard and call me a "stinky boy......
In an instant, tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes......
I carefully pressed all my emotions, quietly sad.
They were like a huge wave, overturning all my memories, and I watched as those memories were thrown into the flames, burned to ashes in an instant......
Then countless screams exploded in my ears, they cried out to me, they begged me for help, they sought my life......
I struggled to control my breathing and my trembling body.
Suddenly, my wrist was gently gripped and the irregular node reappeared. I didn't open my eyes, and gradually, my breathing calmed down a lot, and my ears quieted down......
The sorrow receded with the waves, and I escaped from the fire.
When it was dawn, I saw Shui Mo sitting at the end of the bed, his knitted hat covering half of his face, and his head resting on one side.
There was no Xiao Fan and Brother Huo in the room. I sat up and pushed the ink.
"Xiaobai, are you awake?" Shui Mo leaned over, "How did you sleep last night?" ”
"What about the two of them?"
Shui Mo said, "Shangxian took Brother Huo to make a hole." ”
I wondered, "Punching holes again?" What holes to punch? ”
Shui Mo seemed to suddenly think of something funny, and laughed out loud, "Shangxian got up this morning and told Brother Huo that he climbed the hole he hit last night, and his knee hurt, so let Brother Huo polish it again." ”
I was stunned for a long time, speechless.
"Buddy has said a long time ago, Brother Huo's work attitude is going to be convergent, you see, it is finally planted in the hands of our immortals." Shui Mo paused and looked at me, "I said Xiaobai, could it be that you sued in front of the immortals?" ”
I denied it, "How is that possible! Who am I? It's you, complaining about Brother Huo's rough work all day long, I think it's a small report from you! ”
"Don't talk nonsense! If it reaches Brother Huo's ears in the future, he will have to trouble me! ”
I said, "Shangxian is originally a person with high standards and strict requirements, and it is a matter of time before Brother Huo reworks......
Shui Mo thought for a moment, "Well, too. ”
