"We asked where the three girls who witnessed the deceased lived at the time...... On the other end of the phone, Deng Yuhao told Sima about their inquiry, and told him what Qin Wei had said.

"These are not the point, the key is to know the identity of the deceased." Sima said on the other end.

"We asked a lot of people, but no one knew that the school even took back the registration records in order to cover up the incident." Deng Yuhao said.

"Then I have to ask the three girls, but don't go alone, wait for me to come back." Sima instructed.

"Yes, but what are you going to buy?" Deng Yuhao asked.

"You'll find out when you come back." After saying that, Sima hung up the phone.

Deng Yuhao turned his head and asked Li Tao: "What are you doing now?" ”

"My gut told me we should find a place to hide from the rain and get something to eat." Li Tao looked at his watch and said.

The two of them went to the place where they had eaten last time and ordered something to eat. Li Tao was thinking about how to ask the three girls when he saw the dead people, he must be in a bad mood, and he didn't know if they would say that they would use beauty tricks. Thinking of this, Li Tao couldn't help but touch his face. Deng Yuhao thought about the girl with the backpack, I don't know if I was suspicious or what, when I saw her and the bag in her hand, I felt uncomfortable.

"I almost forgot, didn't the deceased still have a family? At that time, her family will definitely come to the school to ask for an explanation. Li Tao didn't realize that he was too loud, and continued: "We might as well go to the school office and wait, and ask her family directly, isn't it better." ”

Deng Yuhao wanted to tell him to be quieter, but he heard a sentence floating on the table next to him; "Where else is there any family?"

It was a girl at the table next to her who spoke, with a beautiful face under her cute short hair, dressed very fashionably, but not pretentious. Seeing the two boys looking at him, he said coolly, "Do you want to hear it?" ”

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then sat down. The girl's name is Ding Xue, and she is also a freshman this year, but Deng Yuhao knows that once this kind of thing happens, it will be difficult to describe it with novelty.

"The girl who died yesterday is called Yuan Tingting, we live in the same place, when we were in elementary school, we were still in a class. She grew up like us, the only thing that puzzled her was her home. As she spoke, Ding Xue ordered another cup of cold drink.

"How's their house? Are they all weirdos? Deng Yuhao said according to his own thoughts.

"It's not strange that people are all dead, but they are all inexplicably dead." Ding Xue said lightly.

"The family is all dead," Li Tao and Deng Yuhao both exclaimed.

"Do you know how many people there are in their family?" Ding Xue said.

"You mean a lot," Li Tao said.

"I heard the old man say, the ancestors of the Yuan family are the big landlords of our place, and the natural source family is also prosperous, but I don't know when the Yuan family began to die one after another, I don't know if it's far away, but in the past 20 years, there are more than 30 people I know." Ding Xue Road.

"Do they have any genetic diseases in their family?" Deng Yuhao asked.

Ding Xue did not answer, and then said: "When she was in the third grade of primary school, her aunt was found dead in a gutter, and after scooping it up, the police found that her stomach was full of mud in the gutter, and in the fourth grade, her father took a pen in front of many people and ** his own throat, and the people who saw it said that even the neck was pierced, and then soon after, her uncle and aunt were hanged alive, do you know where they were hanged?" ”

The two shook their heads, and Ding Xue said, "It's at the traffic light at an intersection in the city."

Deng Yuhao gasped, imagining that scene in his heart.

"The strange thing is that her uncle's family lives in the suburbs like us, who would drag them so far to the city center, and how can they hang them on the traffic light? Anyway, the most every year the source family is the funeral, my grandmother said that when she was young, there were nearly 100 people up and down the source family, and the one who died yesterday was already the last one in the source family. Ding Xue said a little sadly, thinking about it, Yuan Tingting should have been quite familiar with her before.

At this time, Deng Yuhao's phone rang, and he hung up after a few words.

"They're back, let's go." Deng Yuhao said to Li Tao

The two said goodbye to Ding Xue and ran to the bedroom, and when they left, Deng Yuhao pretended to leave Ding Xue's phone number privately, only to be counted by Li Tao for a while.

After returning from the rain, Sima and Ling Xuezhi were already in the dormitory. The chicken and pig's head, which Deng Yuhao was most worried about, did not appear, only a bundle of yellow rune paper, a thin string of hemp rope and a bottle of pine oil. Sima said while drumming there: "Yes, you two went out for a trip, and it became moisturized." ”

Deng Yuhao wiped the rain on his body and said, "Just a few things, what are you doing for most of the day?" ”

Ling Xuezhi spit out the smoke ring and said: "It doesn't take much time to buy things, it's that Brother Sima and the old man who sells talisman paper, they chatted about some metaphysical things, and it didn't take much time to chat, just after chatting, the old man had to worship Brother Sima as his master, and he didn't let him go, so let's say, what kind of marriage between heaven and earth is involved, and the two of them have returned to the topic of metaphysics, it's not raining all day, I think it's still early for them to talk about the evening." ”

"I also see that the old man knows too little, and I don't want him to have a foreign appearance in the future when he is old, isn't this disrespectful to the elderly." Sima explained.

After a while, Li Tao told the two of them about the situation.

"What did you say this Yuan family had offended, in the past thirty or forty years, nearly 100 people in the entire clan have died tragically one by one, could it be some feud?" Ling Xuezhi said.

Deng Yuhao immediately said: "If it is a vendetta, it is too unrealistic, who will spend thirty or forty years to slowly kill the family, not to mention how bizarre the death of the Yuan family is, even if it is a person with a vendetta, then why not use fire, or poison, kill all at once, but kill them one by one, Ding Xue said, they live in the suburbs, who has the ability?" ”

"If it's like you say, then it's a 'curse'." Sima said. "Don't you understand? That resentful spirit was actually torturing the Yuan family in a very cruel way. ”

Before Sima could speak, Li Tao continued: "For some reason, the Yuan family may know that there is a pure presence of this resentful spirit, but the resentful spirit lets the Yuan family know that they will die in its hands one day, so the living people will suffer the fear of death all day long, and they will never be at peace, and some people will even look forward to death, or simply commit suicide." ”

Sima stopped what he was doing and said, "If it's really just like this, everything will be over, because after all, the Yuan family is dead, and once the goal of the 'curse' is reached, it will disappear, but when I came back just now, I went to Ershe to see it, and that resentment is obviously still there, and it is increasing unabated, why is this?" ”

"There's another strange question." Li Tao said again: "If the earliest Yuan family knew about the existence of resentful spirits and kept killing people, then why didn't the later Yuan family go far away and avoid it, and what reason did they want to sit and wait for death?" ”

Ling Xuezhi immediately called Ding Xue.........

A few minutes later, Ling Xuezhi, who hung up the phone, said: "The Yuan family has lived together for generations, and there is not even a single one who goes to serve as a soldier or go out to work. ”

At this time, the four of them were silent, and Sima Guangxing faintly felt that things were not so simple, as if a shadow was quietly lurking in a corner, waiting.........

……………………………………………

It's so quiet that no amount of rain can make it make a sound. They're so nice, they must be comfortable lying here, why can't I? Yes, because I'm still alive, but it's me who should be damned. Next to a tombstone stood a ragged woman, her face pustuated, her eyes protruding as if they were about to fall out, and the skin of her arms festering like drunken vomit, all signs that she should not be alive.

The woman's hoarse cry seemed to tell the fear and pain from the bottom of her heart, she should cry, she should cry, she should be useless except crying. In the end, she only shouted.

"Fourth Brother"
