Chapter 20: Village Sacrifices
"Boss, something happened!" Li Zhao's uneasy voice came from the other end of the phone.
When Cui Zijian heard this, this person instantly sobered up, and it turned out that someone called the police.
In a ruin on the outskirts, a pile of corpses that had begun to stink was found.
Cui Zijian didn't care about being sleepy, so he put on his clothes and rushed to the police station.
In the conference room of the serious crime team, everyone was waiting for Cui Zijian's arrival.
As soon as he opened the door, Li Zhao began to speak.
"There were a total of six bodies at the scene, and the medical examiner deduced at the scene that all of them belonged to men.
It is very likely that it is the recently disappeared population, and all the bodies have been sent to the forensic department for examination, and the results will be available later! ”
"How is Su Lili staring over there?"
Cui Zijian asked, everyone has been busy these days, and there is no time to meet!
Duan Yaojie shook his head, "I haven't found anything at the moment, this Su Lili doesn't have any good friends."
People who know her don't think highly of her, so we can only observe secretly at the moment! ”
Duan Yaojie's face was slightly red during his speech, and no one noticed these subtle movements!
"I checked Su Lili's family background, and her parents were diligent and honest farmers.
Su Lili came out of her hometown to work after graduating from university, and there were no other favorable clues! ”
Xu Yifan also spoke immediately.
"It's all useless information, you should know that's not what I want to hear!"
Cui Zijian yelled irritably, probably sensing that his tone was not good.
Cui Zijian took a deep breath, and his tone softened slightly, "Take me to see the corpse!" ”
Back at the police station, when everyone was silent, Xiang Zhaowei from the forensic department had already brought the test report.
"This is the autopsy report of several deceased, because the degree of decomposition of the corpses is relatively large, we cannot determine the cause of death of the deceased for the time being, and the time of their death is also inconsistent, but one thing is certain, the DNA of several deceased people is completely consistent with the DNA of the missing person some time ago!"
Cui Zijian's heart sank, all the directions of the previous investigation were not only in vain, but now all the missing people have been killed, and he was originally staring at this matter more closely, but now it seems that he is about to be severely criticized by the leader again.
At night, the cool wind blew gently, and the whole village was already a little shady, and the wind blew through, and people shivered with cold.
"Xiaotong, did you sleep?" Ding Xiaoshan called softly in the courtyard.
When Bai Xiaotong heard Ding Xiaoshan's voice, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he got up and got out of bed as soon as he was ready to sleep.
Opening the door, Ding Xiaoshan looked at her with a smile, and the moonlight sprinkled on his diamond-angled face, which looked extraordinarily warm.
"I got you some medicine and want to see how your wound is doing?"
Bai Xiaotong's heart warmed slightly, from childhood to adulthood, no one cared about these small details for her.
At the beginning, Cui Zijian chased her, but she also paid more, Cui Zijian was very busy every day, and he rarely had time to care about her.
With the faint light in the room, Ding Xiaoshan carefully bandaged Bai Xiaotong's wounds, and the movements of his hands were very slight!
Bai Xiaotong looked at his clear and distinct side face, and the bridge of his tall nose was as distinct as a sculpture under the illumination of the light.
The long eyelashes stirred up with the double eyelids, and his serious appearance made Bai Xiaotong smile from the bottom of his heart.
"That's it!"
Ding Xiaoshan hurriedly finished the movements in his hands and advised: "Don't touch the water in the past two days, be careful of infection!" ”
Bai Xiaotong hurriedly retracted his gaze and nodded weakly, "Got it!" ”
After a moment of silence, Ding Xiaoshan took a deep breath, "Xiaotong, I ......"
Ding Xiaoshan wanted to speak and stopped, and his lips opened and closed lightly.
Finally, he still mustered up the courage to say: "I like you, I, I'm very stupid, I don't know how to make girls happy, get along with you these days, I find that you have a lot of things that attract me, I know that I am not particularly good, but for the rest of my life, I can do my best to be good to you, can you be my girlfriend?" ”
Ding Xiaoshan finished the words buried in his heart in one breath, and rubbed his hands back and forth nervously.
looked at Bai Xiaotong with tender eyes, as if waiting for her answer!
Bai Xiaotong didn't expect Ding Xiaoshan to suddenly confess, and he was speechless for a while.
Ding Xiaoshan saw that she was a little hesitant, and hurriedly continued to speak.
"You don't have a psychological burden, I just want to express my heart, if you can't accept it, we are still very good friends!"
This is the first time Ding Xiaoshan likes a girl since he was a child, and he doesn't want to force Bai Xiaotong.
Even if she doesn't like herself, then he is willing to protect her and love her, not necessarily to get her!
In these days with Ding Xiaoshan, Bai Xiaotong can always feel warm, and he is very comfortable with him.
She didn't know if she liked him or not, but she always wanted to see him.
After half a sound, Bai Xiaotong spoke, "Actually, it's not that we can't give it a try!" ”
Ding Xiaoshan, who was still a little depressed in his heart, seemed to have ignited hope all of a sudden, and clenched Bai Xiaotong's hand with joy.
"So you're willing to get along with me?"
"Hiss......" Bai Xiaotong instinctively made a sound, because Ding Xiaoshan was so excited that he completely forgot that she still had injuries on her hands!
Ding Xiaoshan reacted when he saw Bai Xiaotong's painful appearance.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Ding Xiaoshan was nervous and at a loss, and hurriedly checked Bai Xiaotong's injury.
"It's okay, I'm sorry, I'm just too excited, I ......"
"Okay," Seeing Ding Xiaoshan's flustered and clumsy appearance, Bai Xiaotong couldn't help but feel funny.
"It just hurts, and it's not a big deal!"
Ding Xiaoshan scratched the back of his head in shame.
"Hey, hey!" I laughed a little embarrassedly.
However, at this time, a group of people in the village chief's house were shouting something to you.
As if discussing something important, their voices were deliberately kept low.
But from time to time, a few loud tones can be heard!
"Village chief, I think what Liangzi said makes sense, even if that girl is Ding Xiaoshan's friend.
We can't delay our annual rituals.
Over the years, we have tried to make this village a cultural tourism village, but we still can't withstand those curses.
Although there are some brave people who come to our village to travel, but in the past two years, how can anyone come?
Now it is getting closer and closer to the time of the sacrifice in our village, and it has been almost two months.
Except for Ding Xiaoshan's two friends, there is not even a shadow of an outsider! ”
"Yes, village chief, we have to focus on the overall situation, sacrifice one person who can save our entire village, she is also the place where she died, she should feel honored!"
The village chief has been silent with his scheming eyes, but what they said is not unreasonable.
No one has been able to break the rules set by the ancestors since ancient times, and the curse has followed the entire village.
It may be until their village is extinct, but all they can do now is to use sacrifices to alleviate the lives and deaths of the people in the village.
They don't know who will be in danger in the next second, taking their fragile lives away.
But they know that only by pushing a woman out, they still have hope of living.
So in order to save their lives, they can only sacrifice others.
"Wait, there's still a month, and if no one comes, we can't do anything about it!"
The village chief finally spoke earnestly!
However, what Bai Xiaotong didn't know was that she didn't know at all.
All the people in this village that she seems to be full of warmth and kindness.
is slowly planning how to support Ding Xiaoshan and sacrifice her as a tribute.
Time flies, and soon a month will be up in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning of that day, when the sky was still slightly bright, Ding Xiaoshan was called out, and Ding Xiaoshan did not come back until noon.
"Xiaotong," Ding Xiaoshan went straight to Bai Xiaotong's residence.
Bai Xiaotong, who was cleaning up the house, walked out of the house with a happy smile on his face.
"Aunt Liu said that you might not come back until the afternoon, but I didn't expect to come back so soon!"
"I'm going to be away for a while, something strange seems to have happened in the next village.
They asked me to go and see what it was, and I had to wait until I went to find out.
During this time, you just stay here and don't run around, with Aunt Liu taking care of you, I can rest assured! ”
Because he didn't know how serious the next thing would be, Ding Xiaoshan could only leave her here.
Bai Xiaotong felt a little lost in his heart, but he still nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!" ”
Sending Ding Xiaoshan away, Bai Xiaotong just returned to Aunt Liu's house, and saw a black figure standing in the courtyard of Aunt Liu's house.
Ou Qianning turned around and glanced at Bai Xiaotong coldly, "Clean up, we're ready to leave here!" ”
Bai Xiaotong's face was full of doubts, "Why?" ”
She made an appointment with Ding Xiaoshan to wait for him to come back, if she left like this, Ding Xiaoshan would definitely be anxious if she couldn't find her!
"There's no why, this is what Hades meant, you just have to do it!"
Ou Qianning didn't want to talk too much nonsense, and returned coldly.
"Xiaotong!"
Not far away, Aunt Liu's kind voice came, and Aunt Liu glanced at the cold Ou Qianning.
The dodging eyes didn't dare to look at her, and went straight to Bai Xiaotong's side.
"Our village will hold a bonfire party tonight to commemorate the river god, as long as everyone in this village must participate, this is the custom of our village, I am specifically telling you, you will go with me later!"
"No, you can't!"
Ou Qianning still said coldly, not allowing Bai Xiaotong to have a chance to answer!
Even Aunt Liu's smiling face froze instantly, slightly embarrassed, and they tried to break up Ding Xiaoshan.
In order to let the two of them make sacrifices, if Ou Qianning insists on not going, Bai Xiaotong can go alone.
And Bai Xiaotong was reluctant in her heart, she said that she would wait for Ding Xiaoshan to come back, and she would have to keep her promise.
"I'm going!"
She looked at Ou Qianning stubbornly, she was indeed here to help her, but she didn't have the right to restrict her personal freedom!
