The next morning, the village chief came to us early with a chicken and asked as soon as we entered the door, how is the matter?

said that everyone was waiting for the good news from the leader, and the reason why he didn't dare to bother was because he usually pressed it.

The villagers must be interested in the strange things in the mountains, after all, their own lives are at stake.

Lu Le gave the village chief a cigarette and asked him to go back and tell the villagers, telling everyone not to worry, what to do, the matter will be resolved satisfactorily soon.

The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately instructed Father Miao to take care of him, and if there was any difficulty, just tell him, and the village will work together to solve it.

After seeing off the village chief, Lu Le and I went to the mountains casually. The air in the mountains is fresh and the scenery is exceptionally good.

This pristine natural landscape, which is not a remote area, is now difficult to see.

The two of us had a casual chat, and when passing by the cemetery of osmanthus flowers, Lu Le stopped and said, "Ma Rufeng should not only have borrowed Zhou Xiaomei's face, but it is estimated that even the corpse belonged to other women." ”

I think the reason why Miao Erwa and the village didn't have any more accidents was precisely because Lu Le and Duan Ruoxue arrived.

Now the matter of osmanthus flowers, we have roughly figured it out, and the only headache is still Xuangong Mountain.

It was almost noon, Duan Ruoxue urged, and we arrived at the big willow tree behind the village in advance.

Master Jin asked us to meet at noon, and I think the situation of Xuangong Mountain should soon be revealed.

But a few of us waited under the big willow tree until noon, but we didn't see Master Jin.

Lu Le took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said in wonder: "This old man won't release our pigeons, right?" ”

Duan Ruoxue said, "Master Jin is old and slow. "Let's wait.

I glanced at the big willow tree, and said to a few people: "The old man is definitely not the reason for the slow footage, he has repeatedly instructed us to be noon, it is impossible for him to be late." ”

Wang Ling'er nodded when she heard this, saying that something must have happened halfway.

Lu Le asked Duan Ruoxue and Wang Ling'er to continue to wait under the tree, and asked me and him to go to the entrance of the village to have a look.

What the hell is going on with this Master Jin, it really makes people anxious now.

When I came to the entrance of the village with Lu Le, my eyes were almost piercing, and I waited until two o'clock, but I didn't see Master Jin's thin figure.

Lu Leyi frowned, let's go back first.

Said that this old man must be in some trouble.

I was so anxious that I stomped my feet, why didn't I leave a phone call or anything at that time.

After going back, Duan Ruoxue asked what to do?

If Master Jin doesn't appear, there is no way to solve the situation in Xuangong Mountain.

Wang Ling'er's expression was indifferent, "Since he doesn't look for us, then we'll go find him!" ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly called Father Miao, who was feeding the pigs, and asked him if he knew where Master Jin lived?

Father Miao put down the pig spoon, touched his face, and said that Master Jin lived in Maorengou.

Lu Le hurriedly asked how to get to that place?

Father Miao said a few words, and finally simply called Miao Erwa over and said that he would show us the way.

Duan Ruoxue was anxious, so she immediately asked Miao Erwa to set off to Maorengou.

Miao Erwa walked in front of her and asked us if we also wanted to see the eight characters?

He said that Master Jin is very accurate in reading the eight characters, but there is a rule that he only looks at three people a day.

And it's not that someone asks for it, he will look at it.

Lu Le asked Miao Erwa, where did you hear all this?

This guy smiled honestly and said that it was all said by the people in the village, and Master Jin read the eight characters, and he also picked people, and if he didn't have the right appetite, he wouldn't look at it no matter how much money he gave.

I thought to myself, could it be that the old man forgot the time to read the eight characters for others and delayed our affairs, right?

To go to Maorengou, you have to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads, there are many dense forests in the mountains, there is no familiar person to lead the way, to go so far to find someone, it is simply a fool's dream.

Although this Miao Erwa is stupid, he has a good memory, probably because he grew up in the mountains.

Father Miao said that this girl goes to a place, as long as he takes him once, no matter how far it is or how difficult it is, he can remember it, it is even more powerful than a dog.

When we arrived at Maorengou, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the ditch, Miao Erwa took us straight to Master Jin's house, and he said that Master Jin lived alone on the halfway slope of the ditch.

This Maorengou is a mountain col, surrounded by mountains, and the conditions are more difficult than Miao's father's village.

There was not even a decent road into the village, and we braved the scorching sun, and as soon as we arrived at the door of Master Jin's house, we found that the gate was closed, as if no one was at home.

Duan Ruoxue was anxious, and hurriedly knocked on the door a few times.

"Master Jin, are you always at home?"

But after several calls, there was no movement in the house.

I said, will it go out?

Seeing that the people are not there, we have no problem, but since we are here, we can't go back easily.

Wang Ling'er sat down on the ground and said wait and see.

It was already hot in the summer, and as soon as I walked more than ten miles of mountain roads, I was already sweating.

At this time, Master Jin was not at home, so he didn't say that he would come to a bowl of cold water to quench his thirst, and he didn't even have a place to sit.

Duan Ruoxue's body was already soaked, her neck was drenched in sweat, Miao Erwa looked at the snow-white skin on her arm, and couldn't stop swallowing saliva.

I slapped this guy's buttocks, "Erwa, you don't seem to be thirsty?" ”

Why do you stare at people and swallow saliva?

Miao Erwa nodded.

I said, then you go and get some water for the two sisters, okay?

Miao Erwa smiled, "No, I don't know the people below." ”

Lu Le said, "Since they are all thirsty, why don't you go down below to find water to drink, and by the way, ask Master Jin where he went." ”

Wang Ling'er and Duan Ruoxue both nodded in agreement, so we found a family at the back of the village and asked for some water to quench our thirst, and it was an aunt who greeted us.

I poured a few sips of cold water, and the heat was relieved a lot, so I asked my aunt, do you know where Master Jin went?

The aunt shook her head and said, Master Jin has always been alone, and no one knows where he wants to go.

We had no choice but to borrow my aunt's house to escape the heat, but we waited until the evening and still didn't see Master Jin come back.

I was a little out of breath at this time, and when I got outside Master Jin's house, I asked what to do?

Do you continue to wait for him, or do you want to go back?

Duan Ruoxue asked me to wait and see, and she said that the old man would definitely go home at night.

As a result, this wait until the sky is dark.

At this time, Liu Yu seemed to wake up and asked me where I was.

I said, outside Master Jin's house.

Liu Yu yawned and asked why we didn't go into the house.

I said, "The old man didn't come back, so why did he come into the house?"

But as soon as I finished speaking, I heard Liu Yu cry out in surprise: "Ah, something is wrong, there is a dead man in the house!" ”

I almost didn't jump on the spot when I heard it.

Hurriedly asked Liu Mo, if he was wrong, how could there be a dead person in the house?

"Little fool, you still don't believe me, there is really a dead man, I don't believe you open the door to see."

I got up, took a few steps to the door, and shoved it in.

"Lu Yuan, what are you doing?" Duan Ruoxue stopped me.

I said, "Let's go inside and have a look."

"What's the hurry, the old man hasn't come home, isn't that right?"

Wang Ling'er frowned at me at this time, and asked out loud, "Did you find something?" ”

I nodded and said that something seemed wrong in the house.

"What's wrong?" Lu Le also stood up.

I can't say anything about Liu Yu, but at this time, I had an idea, and I pushed twice towards the gate and said, "You see, the outside is not locked, and the gate is obviously closed from the inside." ”

In fact, after saying this, not only Lu Le was surprised, but even I was surprised.

We all ignored this before, since the door is unlocked and closed from the inside, it proves that there should be someone in the house.

After listening to what I said, several people hurriedly moved over, and Lu Le tried to push it twice: "Sure enough, there must be something wrong in the house." ”

As he spoke, he told us to stand back, then raised his foot and kicked the door a few times.

"Bang-"

With a crackling sound, the old door was finally kicked open.

However, the scene in front of us made us stunned.

I saw that in the middle of the hall, there was a person hanging straight, and that person was covered with red cloth all over his body, like a big rice dumpling.

The whole head, with only a tongue and a messy beard, looks very weird.

"Golden ...... Yes, Master Jin......" Duan Ruoxue exclaimed.

Lu Le and I hurriedly stepped forward to hold Master Jin's legs, and when we rescued them, we found that Master Jin had been dead for a long time.

The four of us were stunned for a while, and Lu Le said that according to the situation of the corpse, the time of death should have been yesterday night.

Last night?

I couldn't help but be stunned, that is to say, Master Jin was killed after meeting us at Xuangong Mountain yesterday and returning home!

Lu Le asked us not to move the body, and now try to keep the scene as it is, he said that the murderer may leave any clues.

"Master Jin is just a gentleman who reads eight characters, who will kill him?" Duan Ruoxue looked at the corpse in front of her with a puzzled face.

It's not just her, I can't figure it out, who would kill a Mr. Bazi for no reason?

At this moment, Miao Erwa, who had been pestle by the gate, suddenly exclaimed at Master Jin's corpse: "Gui ...... Osmanthus, yes, it's osmanthus! ”

Lu Le stepped forward and grabbed him, "What did you say?" ”

Miao Erwa's face was full of horror, and at this time she raised her hand and pointed to the red rope that Master Jin hanged: "Osmanthus, osmanthus is on, on it!" ”

After this guy finished speaking, he exclaimed "ah".

A few of us hurriedly looked up at the beams, and there was nothing on the beams except for the red rope that had been cut.

When he turned his head to ask again, he found that Miao Erwa was leaning against the door obliquely, and she had fainted in fright.
