Chapter 8: Treacherous
Strange, but we didn't question the village chief about it, and let him continue.
The Xiaoli he said was no different from what Zheng Shaoran told us, but I still kept this abnormality in my heart.
Then I asked the village chief if there were any population records or anything like that, and he was very cooperative and quickly took out a notebook.
The village chief pointed to Cai Wenli written in the notebook: "This is Xiaoli." ”
It records the time of Cai Wenli's birth and death, but other than that, there are no other anomalies.
I couldn't find any more useful information from the village chief, so Brother Hu and I decided to leave the village chief's house first.
But now the sky gradually darkened, and the cold moonlight shone down as the last of the sun was swallowed up by the deep night.
Before we knew it, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the village chief insisted on leaving us at his house for dinner.
The village chief's wife has good skills, and she fried a few side dishes to entertain me and Brother Hu, but except for the village chief and the village chief's daughter-in-law, there is no one else in this huge village chief's family.
The village chief explained: "Now that the children are all married in the city, my wife and I are reluctant to live here. ”
My wife smiled and said enthusiastically: "Yes, this Nancun, no outsiders have come in for many years." ”
The four of us were talking happily, and while we were in the middle of the conversation, there was a loud bang on the other side of the window, and the cricket crickets that had been in our ears disappeared.
Silence, boundless silence was like a tide, and I saw the village chief's face turn pale, his hand trembled, and his chopsticks fell.
The village elder's wife was also no better, her face was also pale, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Brother Hu and I stared at the window, the night outside the window was confused, a locust tree had lush branches and leaves, and the cold moonlight passed through the gaps in the locust tree and sprinkled in the empty courtyard.
Except for being a little cold, I don't see anything unusual.
However, Brother Tiger's eyes narrowed slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and it looked like he should have discovered something.
"Where did the vole come from?"
"yes, these guys have been rampant lately, and one day we will find a way to cure them."
The village chief and the village elder's wife sang and harmonized, and although Brother Hu and I saw the difference, we didn't point it out, and pretended to be confused.
After eating, Brother Hu and I went to the field not far from the village chief's house to relax.
The grass on both sides of this narrow road was particularly lush, and there was no sign of cultivation at all. It was then that I noticed that although they lived in the countryside, most of the people in Fengnan Village seemed to have abandoned their farming habits.
After entering the night, Fengnan Village became even colder, and in the vast darkness, the incandescent light bulbs of the village chief's house were holding on to the light, crumbling in the boundless darkness.
"Just now, I felt the same evil spirit." Brother Hu took out a lighter, and the small flames were slightly blown by the breeze, and some of them were flickering and extinguishing.
"The same evil spirit, you mean the woman in red?"
Brother Hu nodded, spit out a puff of smoke rings and said, "Yes, there is something wrong with this village chief and Zheng Shaoran." ”
In fact, I think so too.
When we mentioned the murder case once, Zheng Shaoran's eyes were actually abnormal, if a person has a weak heart, it is difficult to deceive such things as eyes.
However, when we went to the village chief's house again to mention this matter, the other party was a little normal, as if he knew early that we were going to come to the door to ask questions.
"Are they colluding?" I thought about it.
Before Brother Hu could speak, a woman's scream suddenly came from the darkness, and Brother Hu and I were shocked, and then stared at the village chief's house.
The scream was made by the village chief's wife, and just after that scream, the light of the village chief's house was extinguished by darkness, and it was pitch black all around, and he could barely reach his fingers.
Brother Hu and I turned pale, and we ran back to the village chief's house by relying on the faint light source emitted by the moon in the sky.
The woman in red is back?
I'm not sure, but it's not my style to cringe, even though there's still a fear dominating me inside.
Ran to the dam in the village chief's family yard, and by this time the lights had been restored in the house.
The village chief's wife smiled: "I'm really sorry to let you see the joke, just now this old man accidentally fell into the water tank." ”
As she said, the village chief was indeed wet, and at the moment he was a little embarrassed, and smiled at us: "Yes, yes, it's a joke." ”
Went down to the water tank?
If you pour it into the water tank, you won't be white-faced, and you won't suddenly turn off the lights in the room.
But what the other party says, we will draw the scoop according to the gourd, just follow their wishes, the fox's tail can't be hidden all the time.
What's more, Brother Hu and I have to spend the night at his house, so naturally we have to pretend to be confused.
Lying in bed, I didn't fall asleep for the first time, thinking about Xiaoli in my heart.
What Zheng Shaoran said sounded like there was no loophole, and the only unreasonable thing to say was Xiaoli's suicide.
If it is really like what Zheng Shaoran said, then Xiaoli has a strong personality, even if she is threatened and abused, she will definitely not think about it.
What's more, if this is the case, then why do the village chief and Zheng Shaoran have to hide it again, I vaguely feel that things are not simple, but there are too few clues at the moment to piece together a complete fact.
I don't know where a gust of wind blew, my eyelids kept fighting, and I was so sleepy that I didn't even know when I was going to fall asleep.
I seemed to be walking on the edge of a river, and the water was unusually muddy, dull yellow.
There was no one here, and the sky seemed to be disemboweled, and a large hole was drawn.
Strands of hair slowly fell from the opening, slowly approaching me.
I began to run as hard as I could along the river, but the strange black hair rolled in from all directions.
I was about to be swept away by my hair, when I suddenly woke up.
The half-moon outside the window hangs high, and the room is quiet, is this a dream?
Maybe my nerves have been too tight lately, so I leaned over and let out a long breath.
However, there was a cloud of black in front of me, and the woman in red was lying quietly on the side, her hair constantly approaching me!
The blood seemed to freeze, the fear was like a mountain, firmly pressing on me, and I struggled desperately to control my body, but found that I couldn't!
A whisper rings in my ears.
It was a woman's voice: "Ears...... Ears ......"
A thick black cloud was getting closer and closer, and it was about to burrow into my nose, but I was still firmly pressed and couldn't move!
At this moment, I suddenly woke up, and the half-moon was hanging high outside the window, and the room was quiet.
I turned my head, and there was no woman in red on the side of my body, and the whole room was the same!
Another dream?
But what does the woman in red mean by ears?
