As a result, when I saw that it was really my mother, I walked in directly.

And she saw that I got up so early, and my mother said: "Xiaobei, why don't you sleep more, it will take a while to eat!" ”

"Wake up, I went to bed early last night, but don't worry, you do it slowly, I'll go out for a walk." With that, I washed up and went to the entrance of the village.

Sure enough, there were many people there at this time, and He Yanran was also there, but I didn't see Tan Xiao.

"Xiaobei, why did you get up so early?" He Yanran came over and said when he saw me.

I nodded, then asked, "What's going on?" ”

"The dead man, I don't know who it is, actually threw the body here, it stinks on such a hot day." He Yanran said with a sigh.

"Male or female?" I asked.

"Woman, it's a miserable death."

After hearing what she said, I wanted to go over and have a look, but she grabbed me, "Xiaobei, don't go over, someone vomited just now." ”

"It's fine." I didn't wait for her to say more, just pushed through the crowd and walked inside.

Because of this kind of incident, the village cadres all came, and asked everyone to recognize the deceased to see if anyone knew him.

But after reading it, everyone said that they didn't know each other, so they said that it was very likely that they were killed and dumped here.

"Is the patrol coming?" The village chief asked the person who called the police next to him.

"It should be on its way." The man replied.

Seeing that everyone was talking differently, I didn't participate, but at this time, someone suddenly mentioned my name and said, "I heard that Zhang Xiaobei came back yesterday, right?" What a disaster, you see that as soon as he comes back, something will happen in our village. ”

Hearing this, I turned my head to look at the person who spoke, but he didn't see me, so he continued, "Oh no, this female corpse is the ...... he brought back."

As he was talking, He Yanran didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then went over and yelled at him directly, "Wu Yang, you have nothing to do if you eat too much, right?" Xiaobei just came back, and you slandered him. ”

"This is slandering him, what I said is the truth, otherwise why didn't he find this body before he came back yesterday?" Wu Yang looked at her with disdain and said.

"What does this have to do with him, so many people watched him when he got out of the car yesterday, why do you say that." He Yanran continued to yell at him.

"You ......" Originally, Wu Yang wanted to continue arguing with her, but at this time, he saw me walking over, so he didn't continue.

Looking at him, I sneered, and then said to He Yanran: "Sister Yanran, don't argue with dogs!" I was about to turn around and leave, but before leaving, I still said to Wu Yang, "If you have evidence to prove that it's me, then you can go and tell the patrolman, if not, then shut up!" ”

"Don't worry, if you have evidence, I will definitely sue you!" Wu Yang said to me very unconvinced.

I nodded indifferently and turned away.

In fact, I am not surprised that Wu Yang said this about me, because he and I have been at odds since I was a child, and I have reversed a lot of right and wrong.

"Zhang Xiaobei, your job is here!" I was walking home when Tan Xiao suddenly appeared in front of me and said.

Seeing that she always appeared suddenly like this, I was really speechless, so I said to her: "Sister, please stay away from me when you appear in the future, don't always appear in front of me, it's scary, okay, and in this broad daylight, aren't you afraid of the light?" ”

"I'm a ghost now, of course I'm not afraid." She replied.

"Well, tell me, what do you want me to do?" I asked around her.

"It's the female corpse over there, you go and see it, find her soul, and take her to the underworld." Tan Xiao replied.

I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I didn't see her face clearly, and I don't know her name, how can I find it?" ”

"That's your business, but if you ask me, I can promise to help you find it!" Tan Xiao looked at it and said with a smile.

I gave her a blank look, and then said, "Whatever you want, when the hell asks me about it, I'll say that the ghost didn't tell me." ”

"......, Zhang Xiaobei, you are really boring." Tan Xiao complained and said.

I ignored her because there were so many things I didn't figure out yet, and I really didn't have the heart to have fun with her.

When I got home, my mother had already prepared breakfast and put it on the table, but she was not there, and it seemed that she had not eaten either.

Where did it go? I searched around the house but didn't see anyone.

Then I suddenly remembered that she and my dad had gone to the cowyard last night, so I quickly turned around and went out.

Outside the barn, I looked at the unlocked wooden door, and then raised my hand to push it open.

But just as my hand was on it, my mother suddenly opened the door from the inside, then stepped out, and quickly closed the door and said to me, "Xiaobei, what are you doing here?" I'm ready, go eat it. ”

Seeing that she was a little flustered, I still pretended not to know anything and asked, "Mom, what are you doing in there?" It's pitch black, and I don't have a flashlight. ”

"It's nothing, just put something, let's go, go eat." My mom said and prepared to lock the door.

I nodded, and although I knew there was something wrong with it, I still didn't debunk her at this time.

"Aren't you going to call my dad for dinner?" When I entered the house, I saw that my dad wasn't there, so I asked.

"No need to call him, we ate noodles together in the morning when he went out, and these are all prepared for you." As she spoke, she went out to chop wood.

I nodded, and didn't say anything else, because judging from the amount of food they had last night, they probably didn't want to eat with me because they were afraid that I would suspect something.

"Xiaobei, Xiaobei!" I was eating, and He Yanran rushed in and called me.

"What's wrong?" I looked at her.

"Wu Yang ran to tell the patrol that only you came back from the field yesterday, so they will come to you for questioning in a while." He Yanran replied to me.

"I see, it's okay, thank you." I finished and continued to eat.

"Don't be polite to me, I'll prove it to you here when they come, and tell them that I and my second aunt saw it when you got off the bus yesterday." He Yanran said to me.

Actually, I don't think so, but she also has good intentions, so I didn't refuse.

When I had almost eaten, the patrol also came, and I saw my mother chopping wood at the door, so I asked, "Sister, is Zhang Xiaobei there?" ”

"What's wrong? What are you looking for my son to do? My mother asked with some concern when she saw that it was a patrol.

"It's okay, I just wanted to ask something!" The patrol didn't go into details.

When I heard that, I got up and went out and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"Are you Zhang Xiaobei?" One of the patrolmen asked.

I nodded, "Yes, I am, what's the matter?" ”

"We are from the Town Patrol Bureau, my name is Li Chuan, did you just come back from the field yesterday?"

"Hmm!" I continued to nod.

And He Yanran was afraid that they wouldn't believe it, so she took the initiative to come over and help me and said, "Several police officers, Xiaobei really didn't do anything, we all saw him when he got out of the car yesterday, and it was daytime, he brought a bag and a backpack." ”

"Well, did you see it with your own eyes?" Li Chuan asked He Yanran.

"Yes, we came back together after she got out of the car, and many people saw it."

Li Chuan nodded after hearing this, "That's okay, we're just routine, so let's bother." ”

"It's fine, but have you found out who the dead person is now?" I asked.

"Not yet, let's bring it back to the Patrol Bureau first to see if anyone comes to claim it." Li Chuan said.

I thought for a moment, and then said, "If you can, can you tell me about the deceased after you know the identity of the deceased?" ”

After listening to me, several of the patrolmen looked at me, probably thinking that I was strange.

Because my mission was to take his soul to the underworld, but now I don't know the name of the deceased, and I don't know where her soul is, so I thought that if they could tell me, it would be easier for me to work.

It's just that they don't seem to want to, so they say, "We can't disclose this." ”

"Okay, forget it." Seeing that they don't agree, I don't want to embarrass them.

However, Li Chuan said at this time, "If Mr. Zhang, you know who she is first, please let us know." ”

I nodded, didn't think much about it, and just said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I know first." ”

Hearing this, He Yanran hurriedly grabbed me and said, "Xiaobei, you don't know her, how can you know first, this kind of thing should be handed over to the patrol to deal with." ”

I understood what she meant, so I didn't say anything, smiled and turned around and went into the house.

After the patrol left, He Yanran said to me: "Xiaobei, why did you say that sentence just now?" This will arouse their suspicions. ”

"What is there to be suspicious, they are not stupid, I came back yesterday, and the corpse looks like it has been there for two or three days." I replied to her.

After hearing this, she felt that it made sense, and she didn't say much, and saw that I was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, so she came over to help me.

Looking at her, I suddenly felt like I was back in my childhood, no matter what I did, whenever she saw it, she would come and help me.

Thinking about it, I asked while washing the dishes, "Sister Yanran, do you think our family is very strange?" ”

He Yanran was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but soon she smiled and said to me: "No, don't think about it." ”

Originally, I didn't doubt it, but what she said just now made me think that she should know something, so I looked at her directly and asked, "Tell me the truth, do you know anything?" ”

She didn't dare to look at me and shook her head, "No, besides, you don't know about your family, how can I know." ”

"Are you still going to hide it from me?" I asked again.

This time she was silent, and after a while she said, "Xiaobei, in fact, your parents are all for you, don't think they are strange." ”

"So what? Hide everything from me for my sake? ”

"Not so, because ......"

"Yanran, your grandmother called you!" He Yanran was talking, but before she finished speaking, my mother came in and called her.

I knew she must have done it on purpose, so I turned my head and went back to washing the dishes.

He Yanran looked at me and sighed, and then said, "I'll go back first." ”
