Speaking of this, Xiao Gu'er paused, gritted his teeth and said.

"I've basically determined that Mai Sui'er should have been murdered, and the murderer is in that village, probably the old witch, the live fox. The reason why Mai Sui'er is still unhappy is that she called me in the underworld and asked me to avenge her. ”

When Chen Zhi heard Xiao Gu'er say this, he felt that this rural young man's association was a little rich. So he asked him, "Even if you see a live fox with a bracelet from Wheat Ears, you can't be sure that she is the murderer, maybe after Wheat Ears died, her great-grandmother missed her, so she left her bracelet as a memory." And would an old lady kill her great-granddaughter because she fell in love? Chen Zhi was very skeptical about this matter.

"It's definitely her", Xiao Gu'er said with certainty, and then I pretended to be crazy after failing the college entrance examination, and when I pretended to be a fool and went to Huxian Village, no one paid attention to me, because no one knew about me and Mai Sui'er. But I found that the old witch often hid in the corner and looked at me secretly, her eyes were very weird, and there must be something wrong with the old witch. Xiao Gu'er said very firmly.

After listening to Xiao Gu'er's story, Chen Zhi sorted out the context of the whole incident in his heart, he thought that this Mai Sui'er should be dead, and the call might have been made by someone else. But Xiao Gu was so sure of the sound of Mai Sui'er's breathing on the phone, this matter was a little unreasonable.

"Then how long are you going to pretend to be crazy and stupid like this?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Let's take one step at a time" Xiao Gu'er looked at the ground helplessly, "I am pretending to be crazy now, but also to protect my father, in this ravine, everyone is superstitious, the prestige of the living fox is very high, if she wants to kill me, those superstitious villagers can bury me and my father alive without hesitation." And..."Xiao Gu'er paused and said, "Mai Sui'er died because she loved me, and I can't let her die in vain." ”

Xiao Gu'er's words touched Chen Zhi and reminded Chen Zhi of Sasha. Sasha's matter was like a needle, pierced into Chen Zhi's heart. For a long time, Chen Zhi avoided talking about Sasha and refused to think about it. Even if the leopard master went to Beijing to deal with Sasha's funeral, he didn't want to ask more, Sasha had become an eternal thorn in Chen Zhi's heart, and he didn't want to touch it easily.

Chen Zhi stood up, patted his pants and said, "Let's go to the fox village and take a look!" Depending on the situation, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of us, but when you enter the village, you have to continue to pretend. ”

At dinner, because Fat Wei and Ghost Knife beat a mountain rabbit, they had roast rabbit meat for dinner. The aroma of barbecue permeated the mountains, and Fat Wei and Qin Yueyang were very surprised by the changes in Xiao Gu'er. Thinking that this world is really changing all the time, the ghost knife's reaction is very flat, and it is estimated that he already thinks that there is something wrong with Xiao Gu.

The night in the mountains was very cold, and the cold wind of the Great Khing'an Mountains was blowing on their faces, and everyone's faces began to be red and swollen. Fortunately, Chen Zhi and the others prepared thickened outdoor sleeping bags in advance. Xiao Gu'er told everyone to pack up the leftover bones and throw them away, otherwise the leftover food in this deep mountain and old forest will attract many big beasts. Moreover, the bonfire cannot be extinguished.

In this way, after spending the night in the mountains, the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, everyone was led by Xiao Gu'er and began to walk towards the legendary Huxian Village.

Even though it's April, there's a lot of frost on the trees in the mountains. Chen Zhi and his entourage carried heavy travel backpacks, walked through dense woods, and finally went down from the dirt road to the entrance of Huxian Village.

After Chen Zhi entered the entrance of the village, he first took a look at this village, this is really a very old village, as if time has never flowed here outside. I don't know what age the stone road at the entrance of the village was built, and it was shiny when it was stepped on. There is still some residual snow on the ground, and the village sees farmhouse yards sporadically, the fence is surrounded by birch trees, and the mud houses plastered with yellow mud look simple and simple, I don't know how many years have passed.

The wind in the village was cold and hard, and some of the shady windows in the courtyard were covered with frost and cotton curtains. At the entrance of the village, there are stone mills, mills, and wells for rolling water, all of which seem to be communal. Several elderly people, holding long dry tobacco pouches, sat in the open space at the entrance of the village, and when they saw Chen Zhi and other outsiders coming in, they immediately stood up nervously.

Chen Zhi found that this village really did not welcome outsiders, and after a while, the villagers all came to the clearing, surrounded Chen Zhi and several people, and all the people stared at them with hostility in their eyes.

At this moment, a girl came to them from the crowd, she looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and she seemed to have a high status among the villagers, and the villagers immediately made way for her.

The girl was wearing coarse cloth clothes, tied in a ponytail, and her face was clean, she first looked at Chen Zhi and the others from top to bottom, and then walked in front of Xiao Gu'er and said, "Gu fool, what are you bringing these outsiders for?" You know that in our village, people from other villages are not welcome. After speaking, he glared at Fat Wei fiercely.

Xiao Gu'er smiled stupidly at this time, and stammered: "Sister Yezi, this person is seriously ill and came all the way to find the fox fairy mother, my father asked me to take him into the village to see if I can ask the fox fairy mother to save him." After speaking, he pointed to Fat Wei.

In fact, to be honest, Xiao Guer's acting skills are really poor, Chen Zhidu wondered why no one suspected him of pretending to be crazy, maybe the mountain people were simple, in short, the girl named Ye Zi really regarded him as a fool and had no precautions at all.

Ye Zi frowned after listening to Xiao Gu'er's words, and said disdainfully. "Cut, Uncle Gu is really getting older and more confused, how can there be any fox fairy? That's all superstition, if you are sick, go to the hospital, where will my great-grandmother see a doctor, you take them away quickly! ”

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she saw that the villagers collectively took a step forward, and the hostility in their eyes became stronger, as if they were going to eat Chen Zhi and them.

At this time, Fat Wei saw that the situation was not good, and immediately walked over. said: "Little sister, you are so beautiful, why are you so ruthless?" We walked the mountain for two days, and now my legs are cramping, and I am still seriously ill and can fall to the ground at any moment. Otherwise, you will give me a saliva to drink first, and then drive us away? ”

The girl heard Fat Wei say these words, and glanced at Xiao Gu'er again, as if she still cared a little about Lao Gutou's face. He flicked his ponytail and said, "Okay! Then you come to my house to drink some water and rest, for before it gets dark, you must leave the village.

Hearing what the girl said, the villagers behind relaxed their vigilance and walked away, just like that, the girl took Chen Zhi and his party to her home.

Along the way, Fat Wei kept flattering and talking to the girl, Qin Yueyang seemed to be a little tired, she kept walking without raising her head, and the ghost knife looked at the surrounding houses vigilantly. Xiao Gu'er lowered her voice at this time and said to Chen Zhi: "This is the little granddaughter of the fox fairy mother (living fox), Ye Zi. She is the younger sister of Mai Sui'er, two years younger than Mai Sui'er. Later, when we go to her house, we will see a live fox. ”
