Chapter 65: The Fishing Village Is Haunted
"What business did you take yesterday" At this moment, on a remote highway, Ma Xiaoling was driving, and Xu Ran was sitting in the co-pilot's seat.
Because of boredom, Xu Ran had nothing to say.
Early this morning, Xu Ran was called by Ma Xiaoling, took the necessary items to catch ghosts, and then set off.
"It's a fishing village by the sea, some people say it's haunted, tell me to come and have a look," Ma Xiaoling said as she drove.
"You'll know if you go" Ma Xiaoling blocked Xu Ran's mouth.
Xu Ran felt bored, closed his eyes on the side, drove along the country road by the sea for about half an hour, and finally turned into a small mountain village.
This is a coastal village, the people here live by fishing, at the entrance of the village, there is someone waiting there early, an old man in his sixties.
Perhaps because of fishing for a living and basking in the sun all day long, this old man's skin is darker than that of ordinary people, and his face is full of vicissitudes, but his body is very staggering.
"Is it Miss Ma" The old man saw the car parked next to him, Xu Ran and Ma Xiaoling got out of the car and immediately greeted him.
"Hello, I'm Ma Xiaoling"
"Oh, I am the village chief of this village, surnamed Zhou" The old man said with a happy face: "Zhou has been waiting for Miss Ma for a long time, and the advanced village is talking about it in detail."
"Hmm"
Ma Xiaoling nodded and followed the old man into the village, while Xu Ran carried a box and followed behind the two.
The old man took the two to a slightly dilapidated hall, and then poured them a glass of boiled water.
Then, the two of them were told the cause and effect.
Their village, has always relied on fishing for a living, living a quiet and simple life, everything starts three days ago, almost everyone in their village went out to sea to fish.
A total of four people went out to sea to fish, but a day later, only three returned, and according to the three people, they encountered a storm in the sea, and one of them was unfortunately killed.
And the person who was killed was named Wang Erwa.
Wang Erwa lost her parents when she was a child, and she can be said to have grown up alone, at the age of twenty-four or five, and she has not yet started a family, because she lost her life because she went to sea.
It was normal to hear about people dying in the sea every few months, but what happened next made it seem abnormal.
That is, the three people who originally went to sea except for Wang Erwa and came back alive, two of them fell into the water and drowned, while the other went crazy.
The spirit has become extremely abnormal, and he is crazy all day long: "Wang Erwa, I didn't hurt you, I didn't hurt you."
Of the three people who came back alive, two fell into the water and drowned, and the other went crazy, which aroused the suspicion of the people in the village whether Wang Erwa's ghost had come back for revenge.
The people who live by the sea are more or less superstitious and believe in the god of the sea.
So the people in the village guessed that Wang Erwa's ghost came back for revenge, and the village chief found Ma Xiaoling through a certain relationship, so he called Ma Xiaoling to deal with the matter.
"That's the way it is, is this a coincidence, or a ghost revenge, and ask Miss Ma to help us solve it, if this matter is not clear, our whole village is panicked" The village chief looked at Ma Xiaoling and smiled bitterly.
"This matter, it's not particularly difficult, this, this...."Ma Xiaoling hesitated.
"If Miss Ma can solve the confusion for us, or if it is really Wang Erwa's ghost who is haunting us, and subdue Wang Erwa's ghost, we will not treat you badly," the village chief said.
Then he took out a stack of money and said, "This is the 10,000 yuan that every household in our village has put together, and it is our reward for Miss Ma."
"Well, I'll settle this matter as soon as possible," Ma Xiaoling said.
Generally speaking, her appearance fee in the city is not less than 50,000 yuan, but this small village is too backward, and it is not easy to make up 10,000 yuan.
Therefore, Ma Xiaoling agreed.
After a pause, Ma Xiaoling asked, "Village chief, have the two drowned people already buried?"
"Buried," said the village chief.
"Forget it when you bury it," he paused, adding: "Take me to meet this crazy man."
Ma Xiaoling originally wanted to see if there was any evidence of ghosts killing them from the two people who drowned in the water, but since they had been buried, forget it.
"Okay, I'll take Miss Ma with me when I go," the village chief stood up.
"Lao Zhou, it's not good, it's not good, Li Fugui at the end of the village is dead" At this moment, an old man about the same age as the village chief ran over, with panic in his tone.
"What, how did Li Fugui die" The village chief's face immediately changed.
"I don't know, Li Fugui went to work on the mountain early today, and he didn't come back at noon, so Li Fugui's daughter-in-law went to the mountain to look for him, and saw Li Fugui's floating body in the lake next to him," the man said.
"Let's go, let's take a look," Ma Xiaoling said.
Afterwards, the three of them hurriedly went to Li Fugui's house, at the end of the village, where a group of villagers were already pointing fingers.
The village chief arrived, lined up the crowd around him, and let Xu Ran and Ma Xiaoling walk to the side of the corpse.
Next to the corpse, there was a woman about forty years old, crying, obviously she was Li Fugui's daughter-in-law.
Ma Xiaoling squatted down, lifted the white cloth, and a corpse appeared in front of everyone, facing a man about forty years old, with many water stains on his body.
Xu Ran was also looking at the corpse, on his face, a pair of eyes were wide, his face was pale, and his pupils were already dilated.
"If the death of the two sons of the old Tang family has something to do with Wang Erwa, why did Li Fugui also drown?"
"That's right, it's hard to be Wang Erwa's ghost who did it"
The people around him pointed and pointed, and their tones were filled with hesitation and fear, fear of the unknown.
"Miss Ma, what can you see?" asked the village chief cautiously.
"He doesn't have the smell of dirt on his body, he should have accidentally fallen into the lake and drowned, let's go" Ma Xiaoling stood up and said.
"Oh, I accidentally drowned."
The people around him suddenly realized, but there was a sigh of relief in their tones.
"No, it's impossible, my family is rich and well-versed in water, and my body is not sick, how could I accidentally drown in the lake, you are talking nonsense" At this moment, the middle-aged woman shouted.
"This must be done by Wang Erwa's ghost, it must be" The middle-aged woman is still unrelenting.
"Let's go" Ma Xiaoling didn't care about the middle-aged woman's reluctance, and said lightly.
"Bury Li Fugui well," the village chief said beside him, and then accompanied Ma Xiaoling and Xu Ran to leave.
Ma Xiaoling suggested that she go to the house of the only person who is alive but has gone crazy to see if she can find some clues.
The village chief was extremely cooperative and readily agreed.
