"Remember, has there ever been such a person? But if there is anything different, don't leave out the past, it's important to find this person, but don't be sloppy at all. "When I heard that no one I didn't recognize, my heart suddenly tightened.

Seeing that my expression was serious, although Pan Guanghai believed that he would not be mistaken, he did not dare to be careless, and after thinking about it seriously for a while, he dared to make up his mind and said: "Brother Li Nian, please believe me, before and after Yuting said that she returned to her parents' house, there was really no person like you said, not only not in those days, but also since we finished doing things, no one with a face has ever come to my house." ”

"Although I am confused and have created such a big sin, Panjiayuan is such a small place, and I still basically know people. Since I finished my errands, when I went out to do work, Yuting was also by my side, so I knew very well who she had seen. We've been at home all this time, and we've been pretty much inseparable, and if someone else has come to see her, there's no way I wouldn't know ......."

Listening to his words, my brow couldn't help but furrow.

There has never been such a person, so how can the strange bottle be explained?

If no one told her, it would be impossible for Liao Yuting to know about Pan Guanghai's tricks on her, and she, a pregnant woman with a big belly, is unlikely to run outside alone to contact this kind of person, so there should be no memory confusion, and the people she saw outside were remembered as what she saw at home.

Besides, according to what Pan Guanghai said, even if she went out alone, Pan Guanghai would definitely know.

Could it be that this person who is hiding behind the scenes...... Not a stranger?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

"Or ...... Think about it, in the days before and after the third day of October, did anyone you recognize, or even know very well, come to your house, or talk to your daughter-in-law alone elsewhere? ”

There is no doubt that it is much more difficult to screen from the people you know than to simply find a stranger, this time, Pan Guanghai is also a little difficult, and after bowing his head and thinking for a long time, he shook his head at me helplessly.

"Brother Li Nian, although I haven't gone out much during this time, and I almost don't leave Yuting, but it is impossible to see her all the time, I can only be sure that no one has come to the house to talk to her alone, but I don't know if she occasionally visits the door......"

I couldn't help but smile silently, and it was too difficult for him to recall from the people he knew.

Even people with the best memory are unlikely to be able to do such a thing.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Pan Guanghai said cautiously: "Why don't I call my mother to ask if someone happened to come when I was not here sometimes?" ”

"Forget it, don't think about it if you can't think of it, I'll just ask in passing, don't be serious." At this time of extreme uncertainty, it is not a rational move to rush after the wind and shadows, but will only add a lot of trouble out of thin air, and make things more and more directionless.

In this case, it is better to find a point to start with, and then think of another way to start if there is really no gain.

Near their hometown, the likelihood of someone with this kind of heart and ability is very low, and it is even more likely that they happen to know Pan Guanghai's family and are familiar enough not to arouse their alarm.

In other words, if there is such a person, it is not easy to keep it hidden.

At the end of the day, I'm too sensitive.

Explain to Pan Guanghai, let him take care of his spirits, prepare to meet the ghost of his daughter-in-law, reminisce well, and ask the neighbors if anyone had seen an unknown person appear nearby during that time, and I left his house.

Just a few minutes after walking out of Pan Guanghai's house, Zhang Xiaowei just sent a video call.

Zhang Xiaowei will go back to her hometown today, and I still have gauze wrapped around my neck, at this time, I don't want her to worry about me, so after hesitating for a while, I hung up and sent her a voice message back.

Sure enough, at this time she was already on the train and asked me why I didn't want video, but voice? I didn't have enough data, and I forgot to charge my phone last night, which will be outside, and the reason why my phone is running out of battery has been dealt with in the past.

After chatting for a while, I learned that before Sister Yun and Yang Xiaotian sent Zhang Xiaowei to the car, neither the old man nor Yuan Jinzhu came back, and after being poor with her for a while, they hung up the phone.

Next, I went to the old wizard's house again.

So far, the old wizard is still the only living person other than Pan Guanghai who smells a strange fragrance from that strange bottle, and I have always been faintly uneasy about this. And judging from the subtle reactions of this old man after learning that only he smelled a different smell from others, he seemed to understand some of the mysteries.

I was anxious to know what was once in this bottle, but at this time, the old man and Yuan Jinzhu could not contact each other at all, so I could only hope that this old wizard would tell me something.

Unexpectedly, however, when I came to the old wizard's house, I was shut down.

The eldest son of the old wizard received me warmly as he had done for the first time, but he only said some kind words, and did not mention his father at all. When I couldn't help it, I asked the old wizard and expressed that I wanted to talk to him, this middle-aged man with a loyal face, after hesitating for a while, refused with a difficult face.

"Young man, the old man is not in good health, he went out in the morning, and his spirit was a little bad when he came back, and now he has rested, I appreciate your kindness, or wait for the old man to recover a little, you can come to see him again, let him rest now."

I looked at the old wizard's eldest son in some confusion, and after a while, I gradually understood.

Maybe these words were not the meaning of the old wizard's eldest son, but that the old wizard didn't want to see anyone again, or simply said that he didn't want to see me again.

Since this is the case, I can't force people to make it difficult, so I sat down for a while, and asked the old wizard's eldest son to convey the greetings on my behalf, and then I got up and left.

What does it mean to learn that I found a strange thing from Pan Guanghai's pigsty and came uninvited, but refused to see me again after smelling a strange fragrance from the strange bottle?

It seems that this respected old man must have discovered the mystery of the strange bottle, but he is unwilling to tell me.

After coming out of the old wizard's house, I stopped by Pan Guanglong's house again.

Speaking of which, in that night of horror, Pan Guanghai's situation, although it was more serious, if you look at it on the surface, his situation is the best one. After all, the trauma is internal, and there is no external injury.

And Pan Guanglong's situation is just the opposite of Pan Guanghai. Although I was only a ghost baby, I was briefly turned around, and almost pressed me to death in the ditch, but when I fell into the ditch, it was real, the waist pole had been forked, and my head was also knocked hard, and when I entered the door, I was still lying on the bed and couldn't get off.

Although I suffered an unwarranted disaster, Pan Guanglong didn't seem to complain about me at all, and his wife and children didn't have any opinions about me because of this.

Seeing that he was already like this, he still didn't stop, so he had to hold him down, let him heal his injuries, and then he could drink wine at any time.

Speaking of which, what I'm most worried about is what Pan Guanglong's family thinks of me because of this. Although I didn't let him go, he himself had to follow him up the mountain, but I was a little responsible for making it like this.

However, seeing that his family has no idea about this at all, especially Pan Guanglong, who also said that he will have bragging capital in the future, he has really seen ghosts and fought with ghosts, so I am relieved.

Out of hospitality, lunch was also left at his house.

After leaving Pan Guanglong's house, I went straight home.

When it was dark in the evening, Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law's family arrived. In addition to Liao Yuting's parents, there were also her two brothers, as well as several uncles and elders in the family, two off-road vehicles and a sedan.

Since Pan Guanghai's house has been demolished, Liao Yuting's family doesn't want to step on that threshold at all, so they are received at the village chief's house.

Before entering the door, Liao Yuting's father asked the old village chief in a stiff tone, what is there to discuss? didn't look at the early arrival, waiting outside the courtyard, Pan Guanghai, who looked pale, glanced at his old mother, and his attitude was very unfriendly.

In this regard, the Pan family had already expected it, since they sent people over and personally invited them over to discuss, naturally there was no reason for-for-tat, so the old village chief lowered his posture and said that it was a cold day, causing you to come all the way over, and he was not in a hurry to sit down in the house first, and after eating, we would talk about it in detail.

"Dinner is free, since we were asked to come over to discuss things, let's make things clear first, although our Liao family is poor, but we are not poor to the point of starvation, inexplicable rice, we don't eat." Liao Yuting's father, Liao Shangzhou's tone was still stiff.

As soon as these words came out, the other family members who accompanied them immediately agreed with their faces. And Liao Yuting's two brothers had very bad expressions, and they scratched Pan Guanghai, who was nervous next to him and didn't know where to put his hands, and looked at the posture, he had the intention of rushing up and beating him at any time.

In the final analysis, when they came, Liao Yuting's family already roughly knew why they were invited over, and they took such a strong and even somewhat arrogant attitude, just because they didn't want to fall behind in momentum, and asked the Pan family to say a few soft words and show a real attitude of begging for people.

The old village chief and the branch secretary have lived all their lives, how could they not know this truth, so they lowered their posture even more and said things that could make them feel good.

After all, a good girl, who followed Pan Guanghai, who was nearly forty years old, just like this, and ended up with such a sad ending, it was difficult for anyone to swallow this breath. And the man's side, no matter what you say, is the party who is at a loss, since there is something to discuss, you can only lower your posture first and let the other party calm down.

In this way, after talking for a while, Liao Yuting's family eased their attitude a little and was willing to enter the door and sit.

After they sat down in the brazier in the hall, Pan Guanghai also walked in and knelt down in front of Liao Yuting's parents at the suggestion of the old village chief, as promised in advance.

Before he could speak, Liao Yuting's father, whose attitude had just eased a little, sank his face, raised his hand and wanted to slap Pan Guanghai's face.

But this slap, after all, still did not fall, with a look of hatred and disgust, after scraping Pan Guanghai, Liao Yuting's father withdrew his hand, moved the stool, turned his face to the side, and did not kneel under him.

's father didn't do it, but Liao Yuting's two elder brothers would not be polite, they couldn't hold it back for a long time, one directly slapped a loud slap in Pan Guanghai's face, and the other kicked him in the chest.

"Where did the dog come from, when you see people, you kneel indiscriminately, you are not afraid of retribution, we are also afraid of being lost by you! Get out! ”

In this way, the attitude of Liao Yuting's family is very clear, they don't recognize Pan Guanghai as a son-in-law, and they haven't recognized it from beginning to end.

Pan Guanghai's physical and mental condition was not good, and when he was kicked by Liao Yuting's second brother, he suddenly snorted in pain and collapsed on the ground and convulsed.

After a long while, he struggled to get up from the ground, did not speak, endured the pain and knelt down again, and after kowtowing three times to Liao Yuting's parents, he got up tremblingly and retreated to the outside of the hall.

As soon as she got up, Liao Yuting's mother, who was sitting next to Liao Shangzhou, covered her face and cried in a low voice.

And the faces of the others, although they are still indifferent and stiff, but the previous atmosphere has unconsciously changed a lot in this crying, especially Liao Yuting's father's eyes, which are gradually turning red.

The old village chief sighed, and the other people sitting with the man suddenly fell silent.

looked at Liao Yuting's parents with a complicated expression, and after hesitating for a while, the old village chief coughed lightly, trying to dilute the atmosphere a little.

"You don't have to say anything anymore, we already know roughly the situation, I hate the person just now, I can't wait to kill him with a knife, but I hate my own girl even more for not being angry, so she will end up like this."

Before he could speak, Liao Yuting's father spoke first, looked at the old village chief and the others, and then glanced at Pan Guanghai, who was standing outside the hall with his head down, and said: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, you are all innocent, you should not let so many of you be frightened with that beast." What about the young man who asked us to come and discuss? Tell him to talk. ”

I had already come to the village chief's house in advance, but the old village chief and the party secretary said that before they let Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law's family get up and be willing to discuss calmly, I had better not show up, so as not to be angry with me, so I sat with my father and my grandfather at the village chief's house "by the stove" and accompanied the old wizard who also came later.

At this time, seeing Liao Yuting's father, he took the initiative to talk to me and wanted to talk to me, so the village chief hurriedly asked people to come over and called me over.
