The old village chief died, died in a tree hollow.

His jaw seemed to be torn apart by a great force, and it drooped limply against his chest, blood and saliva wetting his entire chest.

He didn't close his eyes, everyone could see the fear in the old village chief's pupils.

"It's the old locust tree, it's the curse of the old locust tree! Death to everyone who agrees to sell the tree! Each one is ......"

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense there! At this moment, a tall young man walked out.

He glared at the villager and glanced around: "Grandpa is dead, and I, Hu Yong, am the acting village chief!" Now everybody's going home! Don't talk about that tree anymore! ”

Although he was young, he could see that he was quite prestigious, and after drinking such an angry drink, the panicked whispers around him really slowly stopped.

The young man named Hu Yong turned his head to look at Duan Xu and the others, and said, "I'm sorry, this kind of thing happened in the village, if you want to leave, I can have someone send you out of the mountain." ”

Duan Xu and the others looked at each other a few times, if they could, who wanted to stay here?

Zhao Wei took a step forward and said: "Brother Hu, now that this kind of thing has happened, a few of us can't get out of it, we can't just leave, let's live in the village for a while." ”

Hu Yong looked at Duan Xu and them, nodded after a while, turned his head to Ah Yun and said, "Ah Yun, take them home, I will handle it here." ”

Who knows, Ah Yun, who has always been obedient, turned a deaf ear at the moment, she just stared at the corpse of the village chief, her fists clenched tightly, and she didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Duan Xu said, "I can go back by myself, let's go first." ”

The others looked at Duan Xu, who suddenly turned around and went back in the direction of the village, a little confused.

The village chief's body hasn't been looked at closely, and he's leaving?

Through Zhao Wei's words last night, it is completely certain that the village chief in front of him has a big secret, and he is likely to be the clue that led to the whole strange incident, and Duan Xu let it go so easily?

"I ...... I also went first......"

Hua Jiyun whispered, no one answered her, and no one even went to see her.

Hua Jiyun's departure went unnoticed by anyone.

"What was he thinking?"

Wang Changjian asked in a low voice.

Zhao Wei shook his head slightly, took his gaze back, turned his head to look at the village chief's corpse, and said, "Don't worry about him, maybe you're scared." ”

……

Wrong......

Duan Xu hurried to the village.

Although he walked very fast, he did not delay his thinking at all.

So far, he has found two things that are not reasonable.

If everything Zhao Wei said last night was true, then ...... Even if they will be vigilant, vigilant, and afraid of Hua Jiyun, they will never dare to use bullying, violence and other means.

After all, according to Zhao Wei, Hua Jiyun is a "female ghost" who killed four senior passengers, won their knots, and got on the bus from the story.

Will such a character be bullied?

She is not a weak person who knows nothing, she is a strong person with "power"!

Even if some of the ghost's traits were changed by the train after she got on the train, and they became less violent and terrifying, their attitude could never be that of an ordinary passenger facing a mysterious passenger with four knots.

The answer is obvious, Zhao Wei is lying.

Or...... Something to hide.

The information that was concealed by him was the root cause of the people on the train who dared to wantonly bully Hua Jiyun.

And this, Duan Xu has a rough guess.

There may be many reasons for them to act so unscrupulously, but there is only one reason why Duan Xu is willing to believe it, and that is that they know that Hua Jiyun can't hurt them.

This is the first logical mismatch.

And the second one is something in this mountain village.

Gao Ran told everyone the story, and at Ah Yun's grandmother, Duan Xu was also confirmed from the side.

The previous deceased, Xie Hua, was originally a poor orphan, but after he went to the city, he brought back a sum of money, and used that money to contract the orange grove in the back mountain.

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this logic, and when it is linked to the information that the villagers intend to sell the oldest locust tree in the village, it seems to be more confirmable that Xie Hua went to the city with the news of selling the locust tree to obtain a fortune.

But...... Herein lies the problem.

Duan Xu looked at it carefully just now, the orange grove in Houshan is not small, and if such a large mountain forest wants to be contracted, it is impossible to need just a small amount of money.

A message to sell a locust tree can sell for that much money?

No way.

Just like Ah Yun's grandmother said, people in the city are not stupid, Xie Hua must have taken out something of approximate value in order to get back such a large fortune.

So...... The answer is already obvious.

……

Where did he go?

Hua Jiyun followed Duan Xu's footsteps and rushed to the village.

But she was quickly dumped by Duan Xu.

No, Hua Jiyun found out that she was not dumped.

But...... Lost.

Tree...... There are a lot of trees, and all of them are locust trees......

They are similar in height and thickness, with almost no difference.

Is there such a large locust forest near the village?

This idea came to Hua Jiyun's mind.

She looked up at the sun that had just come out through the cracks in the leaves, and made out the direction.

Is it the other way around?

It was obviously walking in the direction of the village, but it was getting farther and farther away from the village.

Did you accidentally go wrong?

Hua Jiyun looked at the dense branches and leaves, and she was sure that she was definitely not going the wrong way.

At this moment, Hua Jiyun suddenly saw a person passing in front of her.

That person is not ...... Chen Xinyue?

Hua Jiyun's breath stagnated, and she subconsciously hid her body behind the trunk of the tree.

Chen Xinyue seemed to feel his gaze, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where Hua Jiyun was.

Hua Jiyun didn't make a sound, but Chen Xinyue seemed to have discovered something, so he completely reversed his direction and walked towards Hua Jiyun step by step.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Hua Jiyun's lips were biting tighter and tighter.

"It's you......"

Chen Xinyue suddenly poked his head out from behind the trunk of the tree, and his voice sounded in Hua Jiyun's ears.

Hua Jiyun got goosebumps on her neck and quickly avoided him.

Chen Xinyue was already drenched in sweat, he stared at Hua Jiyun, seemed to forget the unpleasantness of last night, and asked with some doubts: "Why are you here?" ”

Hua Jiyun just looked at him and didn't speak.

"Why don't you answer me?" Chen Xinyue twisted his head and stared at Hua Jiyun with a strange expression, "You...... Look down on me? ”

"Or do you think you have a backer?"

"Hee-hee...... Hey ......"

He grinned strangely, and suddenly put his hand into his arms, as if to pull something out.

"By the way, my knot is a hat, so to speak...... A hat can't be a murder weapon, but ...... It's different. ”

A white sun hat appeared on his hand.

"The owner of this hat used it to cover a family of five, including himself, and it is now ...... I think I'm trying to kill again......"

Chen Xinyue looked at Hua Jiyun expectantly, and he couldn't wait to see the look of fear and despair on her immature face.

However...... He was disappointed.
