Chapter XXVII: The Mystery of Death

Although Mr. Liu is not from Nanling Village, even the three-year-old children in the town have heard about the events of that night, and he knows about it.

Maybe I saw what happened that night.

Now that you ask me about Xiao Jiu's origin, it is so serious, which also makes me a little flustered.

I didn't decide whether to say it or not, so I bowed my head and said nothing.

Mr. Liu is sincere, what he said should be true, and asking about Xiao Jiu's matter is indeed for the sake of the overall situation, and he has no other selfish motives.

But I once promised Xiao Jiu that I can't tell anyone, and besides, there are some things that few people know about the better, not because I can't believe it, but because I'm afraid of accidents.

My own consciousness is not high, I don't have the feelings of caring for the people, unlike Mr. Liu, who thinks about the Wenshui River and the people by the Wenshui River, I only remember to promise Xiao Jiu.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head.

"I don't know where she came from."

Even if I don't know much about Xiao Jiu, I haven't said a word.

Mr. Liu's face was ugly, he glared at me, and even showed that he hated iron but not steel, and he was about to beat me.

"Baby, don't be blinded by evil, that woman is definitely not a human!"

I nodded: "I know she's not human, it has nothing to do with whether she's human or not, I don't know, I don't know." If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back first. ”

After saying that, turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Mr. Liu called out to me.

"I have one more thing to ask you."

"Ask!" I didn't look back, I said directly.

"Now that the river god is crying blood here in the Wenshui River, there must be a corpse digger who has a very deep path to come, who did you see when you came here yesterday?"

Last night I was almost drained by the river god, and then the stone statue bleed inexplicably, thinking that this should be the so-called "river god crying blood", but I really didn't see anyone.

There are many doubts about this.

But the river god wants my life, and Mr. Liu respects the river god so much, I don't plan to talk to him about this, so as not to make trouble for myself again.

I replied, "I only saw the dead blind man, and he also had a corpse transformation, as if he was controlled by something. I used the shadow to control his body, and finally the shadow was forced away by me with incense ash. ”

After waiting for a while, Mr. Liu didn't speak, and I walked straight out of the River Temple.

After going out, looking at the crowd kneeling on the ground outside the temple, my heart was still quite shocked.

Those people had two very different attitudes towards me, one that wanted to kill me right now and throw me into the river; There is also awe, the awe that arises from me because of Xiao Jiu.

I ignored the gazes of others and searched around the river temple, but I did not find the body of the blind man.

I asked a few people, and they all said that they didn't see the body.

What can be the use of the corpse of the blind man, is there still someone who deliberately hides it?

I didn't stay long, so I hurried back to the village and went straight to the house of the blind man, the door of the house was open, but there was no one to be seen. There is still last night's cold food on the table in the house, so no one has been here since last night.

It's a pity that Sun Blind doesn't even have any relatives and descendants, and no one cares whether he lives or dies, let alone looks for his body.

I thought of his love in my heart, and went out to look for him for most of the day, running around like a headless fly, but I didn't find it, and I couldn't see any trace of the corpse.

I didn't go home until it was dark.

The drunkards at home are quite good at enjoying it, and after waking up from a good night's sleep, they stew the cabbage in my house, add meat pieces, and drink a little wine, which is very happy.

When I saw him like this, I sat down on the stool in front of him when I entered the door, picked up my chopsticks angrily, and filled a few mouthfuls of food.

The drunkard looked at me and smiled, but didn't speak.

"Sun Blind is dead!" I said coldly.

His hand that was pouring the wine stopped, and let the wine fill the glass and spill onto the table, and the whole person was stunned, and the smile on his face gradually receded.

It took a few seconds before he looked up at me.

"The blind man is dead?!" He still couldn't believe it.

"Dead, I pulled his body out of the Wenshui River last night, but I can't find it today." I ate the food with tears in my eyes.

Although the drunkard and the blind man Sun have known each other for a short time, they have the right temper, and the two of them also hate each other late, and they unconsciously become friends.

Hearing the news of Sun's blind death, the grief on the face of the drunkard Qi was obvious.

"He also has some ability, why did he die suddenly?"

I said, "His body suddenly appeared in the Wenshui River, and even his head was twisted off and deformed, and after I dragged him ashore, he also had a strange corpse transformation." ”

"Zombies?"

"Uh-huh, corpse mutation." I put down my chopsticks and described the events of last night: "His shadow is alive, and the person is dead, but he is supported by the shadow to stand up and move, and he can still speak, as if he is possessed by something." ”

The Qi drunkard didn't speak, frowning and thinking deeply.

I added: "By the way, I scared him away with the ashes of the river temple, and he was so afraid of the ashes that the ashes were sprinkled on him as if they were sprinkled with a strong acid that was very corrosive." ”

"According to what you say, the thing that killed the blind man should be going for you, but you have no other value except for knowing the news of the Yellow River Treasure, what is it for?" The drunkard Qi directly blew the wine bottle and said to himself.

Compared with Mr. Liu, although Drunkard Qi is selfish towards me, he is very honest and never hides his thoughts, so I believe him more.

I followed his words again and said, "At that time, he asked me for something, and said that it was something in the Wenshui River, but no matter how I asked, he didn't say what it was. ”

Listening to my words, the expression on the face of the drunkard became even more exciting.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then it's really too much to think about, these guys are not all for the Yellow River Treasure, but something else, what is it, it is worth alarming so many people."

I asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say to check?" ”

Before leaving home, this guy said to check, and there would be news soon, and a day passed, and he didn't see any movement.

He also asked me: "I asked you to go to the corpse collector surnamed Liu to ask, did you go and ask?" ”

Because of the matter of the stone statue of the river god and the blind man Sun, I had already put the words of the drunkard behind me, so I shook my head and said that I didn't ask.

And he didn't say anything, bowed his head and remained silent, still speculating about what attracted so many people.

I told him about the River Temple today.

"By the way, there was an accident in the river temple last night, the stone statue of the river god fell, and he was kneeling at my house, and I heard Mr. Liu say that there seems to be a powerful corpse digger, using a forbidden method called 'river god crying blood', and also said that the river god of the Wenshui River... Something could be wrong! ”

In the end, it attracted the attention of the drunkard.

"Something happened to the river god? Tell me more about it. He stopped looking down and asked.

I said: "What Mr. Liu said seems to be using 'River God Crying Blood', the stone statue of the river god is equivalent to being destroyed, and even the statue of the god worshiped by people has been destroyed. ”

The drunkard didn't speak, and seemed to agree with this statement.

Next, I nibbled on a steamed bun to fill my stomach, and the drunkard didn't move the cabbage stew in the bowl anymore, and drank vigorously, in a very bad mood.

After I had eaten my fill, I thought about it and mentioned the matter of the River Temple to him.

"Master Qi, you say... What is the river god of Wenshui River? ”

He didn't answer me.

I waited for a moment, and then continued: "I haven't told anyone that last night, after I scared away the shadow on Sun Blind's body, I was blocked in the temple by the river god again. ”

"River God?" Drunkard Qi's eyes widened, and the light in his eyes was similar to when he knew that Xiao Jiu existed.

"That's right, it's the river god. The stone statue of the river god came to life, and it grabbed me, and tried to pull my soul out, and in the end, I don't know what was going on, but it screamed, and tears flowed from its eyes, and it let me go, and the stone statue became a dead thing again. At that time, I didn't know about the 'River God Weeping Blood', and I didn't know if anyone was out there, but I always felt something weird. ”

After hearing this, the drunkard did not express any opinions, nor did he speak.

After a while, he walked out directly with the wine bottle, and said as he walked: "I'm out to find out the news, you are honest at home, don't run around, lest you be killed by others, then I will lose a lot." I'll be back almost tomorrow, and I'll know what those wicked goblins are,"

The mysterious treasure holder, a profession inherited from a long time on the Yellow River, is definitely different from ordinary people in terms of lifestyle and relationship channels.

I was very self-aware and didn't ask, but just admonished, "Be careful, too." ”

Seeing that the drunkard was gone, I locked the door.

I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and today I've been running outside all day, and I'm already exhausted.

I just lay down and fell asleep.

Half-asleep, I heard the shouts of a drunkard outside, and knocked on the door while shouting.

During this time, drunk Qi has been in my house, often I locked the door, and the next day I saw him appear in my yard, although I don't know how he came in, but he never knocked on the door, nor did he overtake me.

Today is unusual.

I thought something was wrong, so I quickly got dressed and went out.

"Alright, don't knock, here we are."

When the door was opened, the drunkard was standing outside, and there was no expression on his face.

As I walked inside, I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

When he was about to open the door, he caught a glimpse of the drunkard Qi still standing at the door, and he didn't go inside, not knowing what he was doing.

"What's the matter, do you want me to invite you?"

"Uh-huh."

He didn't speak, but nodded, a look of joy on his face.

I have been tightening my heartstrings, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, I understand the character of the Qi drunkard, it is impossible to twist it so much, and I still hold back and don't speak, and look at the appearance of the Qi drunkard in front of me, and the Qi drunkard I know is like two people.

Most importantly, I was close to him just now and didn't smell the wine.

I clenched my fists, picked up a stick, and looked at him affirmatively.

"You're not a Qi drunkard, who are you?"
