Early the next morning, Su Ningxue accompanied Su Zhe to Xiaohe Village, halfway through, it suddenly rained lightly, there was no house in this small place, standing in the middle of the road, I didn't want to find a place to hide from the rain for a while.

Su Ningxue put her hand on her forehead and looked ahead, she still needed to walk some distance to see a house, worried that Su Zhe would not be able to bear it after the rain, she helped the lonely bird together, pushed the wheelchair forward quickly, and told Zhishu to run to the small village in front of him first to see if he could borrow an umbrella.

Zhishu is burly, but his feet are not slow. After a while, she came back, her body was drenched, and the water droplets on her forehead dripped down her hair, and she gasped for breath, not daring to delay for a second.

"Miss, ahead... There are people living in front of me, but it's strange that they don't listen to me. "Not to mention borrowing an umbrella.

Su Ningxue frowned, she only heard that this Xiaohe Village evil sect, how could she still have the quirk of not communicating with people?

"Don't bother, we'll be there soon." Su Zhe said lightly, twisted the wide sleeves with his hand, and naturally wiped the water droplets on his face.

Su Ningxue looked forward, it was indeed not far away, she didn't work hard to know how to run errands, she only pushed Su Zhe to go faster. When they arrived outside Xiaohe Village, Su Ningxue was shocked by the scene in front of them, a wooden plaque engraved with the words 'Xiaohe Village', covered with dust and cobwebs, hung diagonally on a wooden stake at the head of the village.

Standing at the entrance of the village and looking in, there was no one on the road, the doors of every house were closed, and the depressed streets were littered with countless abandoned wastes, and the wind blew gently, bringing not human smoke, but the unpleasant smell of moldy objects.

Su Ningxue wiped a handful of water from her face and said, "Zhishu, if you knock on the door again, no matter what, you have to squeeze in." ”

Fortunately, in the morning, Su Ningxue considered that Su Jin was handsome, and her words and deeds were too beautiful for everyone, so she specially chose Zhishu to bring it over, and now this situation is too suitable for Zhishu to go out.

"Yes, miss."

"Knock Knock"

Zhishu ran a few steps forward, and when he saw the family, he began to knock on the door, but he was not sure if he had knocked before, and after waiting for a while, the family did not move. Zhishu went to knock on the next door again, and after changing to the fourth house, a small crack opened in the door, and a small fluffy head poked out of it.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I, we want to borrow an umbrella." Zhishu saw that it was a child, he was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Su Ningxue's words, No. 2 didn't say anything, sent a big thick leg, and put the door against it, and then replied.

The boy was startled by the thick legs that had suddenly squeezed into the crack in the door, and stepped back a little, and then rushed forward again, struggling against the door.

"No, no! You bad woman! You go! I'm not going to give you anything. ”

"Little brother." Su Ningxue saw that something was wrong from afar, and hurriedly followed. She popped out half of her head from behind Zhishu, although her voice was not as soft as Zhishu's, but Su Ningxue's face was good-looking, and she looked a little embarrassed in the rain, which made it easier for children to relax their vigilance.

"I'm sorry, my maid can't speak, did it scare you? You can rest assured, we are not bad people, we were just passing through here, it was raining, and now it is a little cold. You see, we don't want anything from you either, you let us go in and sit for a while, okay? ”

Su Ningxue pulled Zhishu's leg back, squatted in front of the door, and discussed with the little boy in a whisper.

The little boy looked at her with blinking eyes, as if hesitating.

Su Ningxue said again: "What about your parents? If your parents are at home, you call them over, and I will discuss with them, do you think you think so? ”

The little boy shook his head, lowered his head and said a little weakly: "There are no parents, my father left a few years ago, and then my mother took me alone, and I couldn't support me, so I was tired." ”

Tired?

Su Ningxue looked inside through the crack in the door, the room was a little dark, she couldn't see anything clearly, only faintly, there seemed to be a table, and the other side of the table was burning with a faint warm yellow light.

"In that case, you let your brothers and sisters go in to rest, and my sister promised to take your mother to see a doctor, okay? In a few days, your mother will be able to get up and open the door and make you something to eat. ”

"Really?" The little boy's eyes lit up, Su Ningxue nodded vigorously, and the little boy looked at Su Zhe behind Su Ningxue again, lonely. Xu was in a wheelchair, so he didn't look at Su Zhe much, but stared at the lonely bird for a while.

Who made the lonely bird look so fierce.

"That's my family's entourage, don't look at his bad face, in fact, he is a very good person, maybe you will need his help in a while." Su Ningxue explained on her behalf.

The little boy had a good impression of Su Ningxue, believed her words, and opened the door.

Su Ningxue hurriedly asked Zhishu to help carry the wheelchair, and she helped Su Zhe in.

There was really nothing in the room, except for the table that Su Ningxue saw just now, there was only a small bed left, there was a woman lying on the bed, a small stool next to the bed, and there were dishes and chopsticks next to the stool, presumably the child was guarding the bedside all the time in order to take care of his mother.

The room was dark and oppressive, not because of the rain, but because there were two windows, which were closed at this time, and there were thick wooden planks.

"The patient needs some light, Zhishu, take the plank off."

"Yes, miss."

Zhishu raised his feet and passed, the little boy was closing the door and turning back to the house, catching a glimpse of Zhishu's movements, he immediately rushed to Zhishu and spread his arms to block it.

"What are you doing! If you remove the plank, the demons will take away your mother's soul! ”

"Demons?" Su Ningxue's brows moved, she didn't expect this Xiaohe Village to be so evil, and even such a big little kid was convinced.

She and Su Zhe glanced at each other, and both of them read doubts in each other's eyes.

The place was as evil as someone had deliberately frightened the villagers.

"Little brother, come, tell my sister what is going on with this evil ghost?" Su Ningxue motioned to Zhishu to stop moving the plank, she beckoned, and called the little boy to her side. The little boy stared at Zhishu, as if he was sure that Zhishu would not act rashly, so he walked towards Su Ningxue.

Very sensibly, he lifted the teapot with the lid on the table, and poured a glass of water for Su Zhe and Su Ningxue.

He cleared his throat and said: "The evil ghost has always been there, very early, and I was haunted in the back mountain before I was born, and my father was driven out of Xiaohe Village because he went to the back mountain to hunt and accidentally violated the evil ghost realm." After my mother fell ill, the villagers said that our family was targeted by evil spirits, and we had to seal our house tightly to avoid being caught by evil ghosts. ”

"And what do you usually eat? You all stay in the house and don't go out, and you have no income, aren't you afraid of starvation? ”

"Income?" The little boy turned his head and thought about it, Su Ningxue was wondering if he didn't understand what income meant, only to hear the little boy raise his head and say, "No, the mayor will send us food every once in a while." The mayor said that as long as we guard the village, he will never let us starve to death. ”

Isn't that just for them to sit and eat here and wait for death?

Su Ningxue was surprised, raised her eyes and glanced at Su Zhe again, Su Zhe's cold eyes trembled slightly, obviously shocked by the mayor's approach.

"But the mayor hasn't been here for a few days, and the family's dry food is running out."

"Didn't come?" Su Ningxue's brows moved, and she asked again, "Has such a thing happened before?" This is the first time he didn't send it in time? ”

"Hmm." The little boy nodded aggrievedly. Su Ningxue's mood became heavier and heavier, what the hell is going on in this Xiaohe Village? What is the purpose of the mayor keeping these people here?

When the rain stopped, Su Ningxue and his party left from Xiaohe Village, and according to their promise, Su Ningxue asked Zhishu to give the little boy ten taels of silver, and told him to ask the doctor to see a doctor and buy some food for the family. After returning to Shili Town, they were not in a hurry to find the mayor, but first went to the restaurant owner who was in charge of reception and arranged for them to stay, Boss Huang.

Su Ningxue learned from Su Zhe that since Su Zhe came here, town officials, village officials, and even ordinary people with some faces have seen a lot, but they have never seen the town elder.

After finding Boss Huang, they got straight to the point and asked directly, "Where did the mayor go?" Why hasn't the mayor shown up for the past two days since we came? ”

Boss Huang was stunned, although he had expected that Su Zhe would ask one day, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Although he is a sick seedling, it seems that his strength cannot be underestimated.

"Yo, Master Su, Miss Su, why did you two come in person? Are you still used to living in the wings? Is the food still palatable? If you don't like anything, just let me know. ”

"Don't talk about him left and right, I'll ask you about the mayor." Su Ningxue's face turned cold. Boss Huang lowered his head, touched his nose, and his expression changed, "Miss Su, if you want to ask the mayor about it, you should go to the mayor, you are really looking for the wrong person." ”

"Nonsense, if I knew where to find him, I'd ask you what you're doing. We've been here for two days, and he hasn't shown any of them, and you're responsible for everything big and small, and you say you don't know, do you think we'll believe it? ”

Boss Huang couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Miss Su, if you want to say that, I don't know how to explain it, I run a restaurant, can't I entertain a guest when I send it to the door?" As for what you said about the mayor, I really don't know. ”

"Heh, you're pretty tight-mouthed. We've been ordered to investigate the case, and I'll give you one last chance to find the mayor. ”

Su Ningxue is a little unhappy, now that there are a lot of lives, it doesn't matter if the mayor doesn't show up, Boss Huang still has time to play here Haha, do you have to die to know that you are afraid?

"I don't know, Miss Su, if you don't have anything to do with the restaurant, I'll go and get busy first." Boss Huang bowed slightly, as if he didn't take what Su Ningxue said to heart.

"You!" Su Ningxue was angry and wanted to catch up, but Su Zhe grabbed her in time and shook his head.

It's not hard for him to find out where the mayor is, but it will take some time... He looked Su Ningxue up and down with his eyes, it had just rained, Su Ningxue was just wringing the water at the little boy's house, and she still needed to change it.
