Chapter 62: The Strange Story of the Mountain Village
People in mountain villages, rest early,
But it also gets up early.
Early in the morning, the rooster crows, the yang qi breaks the dawn, and the smoke of cooking has risen early in Gujing Village......
Fang Zheng had not slept all night, since he had practiced martial arts, he had not had the habit of sleeping for a long time.
Usually they use cultivation instead of sleep, and after cultivation, they are full of energy and have a clear mind.
I only take a break for an hour or two once in a while, and I retain my basic habits as a human being.
But soon, Fang Zheng found that the atmosphere in Gujing Village today was very wrong, and there was a tense atmosphere, which began to spread rapidly among them stranded tourists, like a virus.
Last night, there were many people, all of whom heard a woman knocking on the door in the middle of the night, asking if they had seen her children when the rain had stopped, and five or six of the thirty or so people who were stranded had encountered this strange thing.
Someone replied, "Maybe it's raining heavily, and the child has gone into the mountain to hide from the rain, so you go into the mountain to look for it."
But some people answered "I didn't see it".
The people who answered that they didn't see it were the same group of self-driving tourists who came into the village to ask for help, and they happened not to hear the strange story told by the village chief.
At this time, everyone gathered around early in the morning to discuss the matter, but everyone unanimously guessed that it must have been a prank by someone at night.
Some people began to ask in the team if someone was playing a prank and deliberately tricking everyone, and now he stands up and explains this matter clearly, and everyone will not blame him.
But no one has stood up, and everyone has flatly denied that it was their own prank.
"You, have any of you opened the door and seen that... A woman?" Suddenly, a weak voice sounded, it was the female anchor Xiao Yu'er.
She also encountered this strange thing last night, and she screamed in fright, and did not answer the woman's question at all, but ran back to the room and was frightened all night, and did not sleep well all night.
At this time, her complexion was very bad, her face was pale, her whole body was cold, she coughed a few times from time to time, her body was wrapped in several layers of thick clothes, and her hands and feet were still shivering with cold. It is suspected that he was frightened last night and froze out of a cold, accompanied by low-grade fever symptoms, and now he has just taken the cold medicine handed by those self-driving tourists, and the effect of the medicine has not yet come up.
"It's a big night, and you're not familiar with life, who will open the door without permission. ”
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't open the door to see the woman.
Just when everyone was suspicious of each other, the village chief and a few old people in the village actually came to everyone in a hurry, and the village chief and the old villagers all looked solemn and nervous.
As soon as everyone saw such a face, they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, and immediately had a bad premonition......
Sure enough, as soon as the village chief came, he asked everyone, which of you met a woman knocking on the door last night and asked if you had seen her lost child?
Then I asked everyone urgently, how did they answer the questions?
It turned out that not only the five or six people who were stranded tourists, but also encountered a strange thing last night, which had spread to the whole village, and many villagers approached the village chief in the morning, saying that a woman knocked on the door last night and asked if she had seen her children when the rain stopped......
Almost half of the people in the village have experienced the same thing.
Now the villagers were already panicking, because someone opened the door and saw the woman, and for a moment they didn't think about the story that only the older generation in the village would occasionally tell, so they replied that they hadn't seen it.
But not the villagers.
If it is really the same villager, the villagers who look up and don't look down every day will definitely know each other.
And the only one who doesn't know... Only tourists trapped in the village.
Therefore, the village chief plans to gather everyone at the ancestral hall and let the villagers identify whether it is one of them who is deliberately playing a prank and playing tricks on everyone.
After listening to the village chief's words, all the people were a little numb in their scalps.
Unexpectedly, it actually spread to the entire village......
After the village chief did some ideological work, and the village bus driver communicated and coordinated between the two sides, the group went to the village ancestral hall in groups to prove their innocence, and at the same time, it was also to find out the prankster as soon as possible.
Founder is naturally in the crowd.
He was silent the whole time, and some villagers saw the woman, and if the villagers' pranks were ruled out, it was indeed reasonable for the villagers to suspect that it was them.
After all, only these outsiders will not be known to the villagers.
So before the matter was clear, Fang Zheng did not speculate about someone.
and did not defend anyone in vain.
As long as you go to the ancestral hall in the village, everything can fall into place.
When a group of people came to the ancestral hall, they saw that many people had already been densely surrounded here, and the outside of the ancestral hall was almost surrounded by water.
When they saw Fang Zheng and the outsiders who were staying in the village coming, the eyes of the villagers began to have something more.
There is indifference, there is anger, in fact, this is the suspicion of the human heart......
When Fangzheng and them entered the ancestral hall, they saw that there were already several of the most virtuous and long-lived elders in the village, who were carefully supported and sat on the Taishi chair, upholding justice.
"Old man, I am cheeky and let the village chief bring you tourists who are trapped in our village, you come to recognize people now, see every face clearly, old man, I hope you will not tarnish the reputation of our Gujing Village, and do not slander any good person. ”
"If anyone dares to wronged a good person, people are watching the sky, and all the ancestors in the ancestral hall are watching your every move. ”
A hundred-year-old trembling old man with a face full of age spots, with the careful support of the two juniors, stood up from the Taishi's chair with a cane, and his voice was still sonorous and loud.
From the momentum of this old man, it can be seen that even if he was in Gujing Village when he was young, he must have an extraordinary status.
The identification process is simple.
All the women lined up to be identified by the villagers, but none of them did.
Some villagers were not at ease, and they confirmed several times that no one was indeed satisfied.
Even they checked all the men one by one, and they didn't see the woman's face last night, but some villagers said that the woman's face last night was as pale and bloodless as the female anchor Xiao Yu'er.
They also carefully confirmed the female anchor Xiao Yu'er, and they all shook their heads until the end, convinced that it was not the female anchor Xiao Yu'er.
According to the description of the villagers, the woman last night, looking at the age of about twenty-seven or eighteen, and the young girl who had just graduated from college with the female anchor Xiao Yu'er, was too young and not like that woman.
"Confirmed?"
"Are you sure it's not these tourists trapped in the village?"
"Then have you forgotten one thing, owe them an apology for being innocently wronged?"
The centenarian, looking around at the villagers, upheld justice.
The villagers looked ashamed and apologized to the tourists.
Everyone's resentment at being wronged has only improved slightly, but the question is a dead end, the woman last night was neither a villager nor a tourist, so who is this woman?
The road outside has also been cut off by mudslides, and people from outside cannot enter this small mountain village deep in the mountains.
