Chapter Seventy-Eight: One Step Late
"Hum~"
The courtyard door opened, and Zhao Ke looked up and saw the village chief standing outside with an anxious face.
To tell the truth, Zhao Ke's first reaction when he saw the village chief was that this old man, who was originally full of red light and kind, seemed to have completely changed in one day.
There was stubble on his face, and he hadn't repaired it, his eyes were sunken in his sockets, with panda eyes, and there was eye feces in the corners of his eyes, Zhao Ke smelled a big smell of cigarettes and alcohol on his body as soon as he opened the door, looking at his mental state, this day, he had never rested at all.
After seeing Zhao Ke, the village chief's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Zhao Ke's arm and said;
"Sixi, something happened, that Qiu Bing ran away, you hurry up and take someone to chase him, he is not familiar with life in this mountain, he may not run far, he must be arrested back, if necessary, ......"
In the end, I saw the village chief's aged face showing a fierce look, and wiped his neck with his hand.
If this scene was seen by other villagers, they wouldn't dare to believe it, this kind of words actually came from the mouth of this village chief, who was already in his sixties.
Not to mention the villagers who have lived with the village chief for more than ten years, even Zhao Ke, a stranger who has only dealt with the village chief a few times, was a little surprised.
It seemed to notice the flickering color in Zhao Ke's eyes, and he saw the village chief reach out and grab Zhao Ke's arm, step into the courtyard, and close the courtyard door, and then whispered to Zhao Ke.
"Sixi, let me tell you, at this time, you can't be soft, don't you have no daughter-in-law, the girl brought by Zhang Haiyang is good, very smart, and I will give you a daughter-in-law when the time comes."
"This ...... Not good. ”
Zhao Ke raised his eyebrows, his tone became light, and his eyes were a little sarcastic, staring at the village chief's face.
The village chief didn't seem to notice Zhao Ke's sarcastic and ridiculous tone, and continued to persuade hard.
"What's good, you open the light, you don't do this, that girl is so smart, when the iron chain is locked, the bear cub comes out, and you don't have the heart to follow you to live, otherwise you won't look at your stumbling appearance, whose girl marries you, the broken shoes at the entrance of the village, Widow Li, do you want it?"
Being reminded by the village chief like this, Zhao Ke thought of another thing in his mind, this widow Li seemed to be Wang Mincai's little lover, maybe she might know a little bit about the information.
"What about Zhang Weiwei?" Zhao Ke asked absentmindedly.
The corners of the village chief's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Just now I asked the boy to take people to dig a pit in the back, and then the people buried it inside, and when the spring starts next year, I will report it again, and they will say that they got lost in the mountains and disappeared." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ke couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, what he had discussed with him before was that the matter of the expedition team would not be reported for the time being, and he had never told the village chief that he would deal with it like this.
It's just that I didn't expect that after only one day's work, the village chief became more and more bold, and he actually thought about it, and simply didn't do anything to solve all these troubles.
This is no longer a deception, it is completely a disregard for human life.
Zhao Ke's face gradually became gloomy, and he said with a cold face: "Okay, let's leave tonight, you go back and rest first." ”
"What's tonight!"
The village chief was stunned for a moment, like a cat stepping on its tail, and almost jumped up and pointed at Zhao Ke's nose and said: "Sixi, you mountain cannon, wait for tonight, that tiger B cub, I don't know where to run." ”
"I said it, I'll talk about it tonight!"
Zhao Ke's eyes flashed, a ghostly light flashed in his eyes, the ghost trick was activated, the village chief's face froze, and his demeanor gradually became numb.
"Let's go, go back and get some sleep."
I hope that this old man, who has been guarding the village all his life, will be able to dispel this idea after going back to sleep.
"You just let him go!"
After sending the village chief away, he saw Qiu Bing popping out of the house, walking to Zhao Ke's side and asking.
He didn't see how Zhao Ke asked the village chief to go back to sleep obediently, but he heard the conversation between the two clearly, looking at the village chief's departing back through the crack in the door, Qiu Bing's eyes couldn't help but have a murderous aura.
"Kill him? Messing up the village? Besides, as long as there is no news of your death, he will not dare to do anything. ”
Compared with the village chief's dejected appearance, Zhao Ke believed that he was just drunk and confused for a while.
Seeing this, Qiu Bing couldn't say anything, looked down at the surroundings, and wondered: "Where is the corpse??" ”
The corpse of the villager before fell to the ground, but now the corpse is gone?
Looking back again, Zhao Ke ignored him, but walked into the house, picked up a shotgun and carried it on his back.
He planned to go to Widow Li to find out if he could find the information left by Wang Mincai.
Widow Li's home at the head of the village is not far from where she lives, and Zhao Ke doesn't need to find the house number, because the last time he hid in a tree with Feng San, he basically saw the about Widow Li and the dog.
In the past two days, there have been accidents in the village, so that now the villagers are hiding at home, and most of them are reluctant to come out, Zhao Ke walked to the door of Widow Li's house and was about to knock on the door.
However, with a push of his hand, he saw that the courtyard door had actually opened, and at the same time, Zhao Ke raised his nose, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said in his heart: "Oh no! ”
The smell of blood in the air, although it was covered up, could not hide his sense of smell, and immediately Zhao Ke rushed into the courtyard with an arrow, chased after the smell of blood, and pushed open the door of the side kitchen.
With a sweep of his eyes, he saw that the edge of the water tank was stained with blood, and Zhao Ke stepped forward and gently untied the water tank head.
I saw a human head floating out of the water tank, the pale face was already swollen by the bubble, and the long black hair fluttered in the water tank, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
"Someone got the first shot!"
Zhao Ke turned around and walked into the bedroom, his eyes swept away, and he saw that the bedroom was clean, and the mattress and wardrobe were very neatly placed.
"Strange!"
Seeing this, Zhao Ke didn't know why, he always felt that something was wrong, because it was too clean, and if it was a hard robbery, it would definitely make a mess of the room.
If it is not to be hard, such as to oneself, mind control, there is no need to cover it up with murder.
Zhao Ke didn't understand it for a while, and after searching the house, he really didn't find any information left by Wang Mincai, so he could only turn around and leave first.
I couldn't help but feel a little sorry in my heart, it was I a step late, and I was taken by other postmen first, without that information, seeing this, Zhao Ke could only give up.
Zhao Ke walked out of Widow Li's house not far away, suddenly raised his eyebrows, quietly clasped the dagger in his hand, did not look back, but accelerated and ran a few steps, turned around and walked into the corner.
"Huh?"
A black shadow poked his head out from behind the wall, looked up, and saw that Zhao Ke's figure was gone.
I couldn't help but pick up the corner of my eye, and I followed him, but before he could take two steps, a rough palm grabbed his shoulder.
At the same time, the cold dagger was pressed against his throat from behind, and the strong smell of blood on it made the young man's face pale for a while.
"You've been with me for so long, why don't you go and sit with me?"
Zhao Ke looked coldly at the young man in front of him, it was none other than Goudan.
"Four...... Uncle Sixi, it's me! ”
Dogdan's whole body froze there, his legs kept trembling, and he saw a white mist accompanied by a fishy pungent smell, flowing out of the crotch of Dogdan's pants.
Zhao Ke's brows sank, and after a little more disgust in his eyes, he kicked the dog away and scolded: "You mountain cannon, what are you doing with me?" ”
"The village chief asked me to dig a pit at the back of the village, and as soon as I dug it, I saw you coming out of Widow Li's house, Uncle Sixi, I ......" The dog was silent for a long time, and seemed to finally raise his courage and said: "Uncle Sixi, Widow Li is my mother!" ”
Zhao Ke looked at the dog's serious appearance, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You just follow me for this?" ”
"Uh-huh"
Dogan nodded earnestly.
Seeing this, Zhao Ke couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked left and right, stepped forward and patted the dog's shoulder, and after seeing the haystack next to him, Zhao Ke's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you really like that widow?" ”
"Like, I've never seen her in my life! No matter what she had with the village secretary Wang, Zhao Cripple, or the village chief, and Uncle Sixi, I like her. ”
"Oh! In this case, then you go and accompany her. ”
After Zhao Ke finished speaking, the dagger in his hand stabbed into the heart of the dog's egg, and the blade was stirring hard, only to see blood spurting out along the blood groove on the dagger.
The dog's eyes widened, he opened his mouth, and before he could speak, his body fell straight to the ground, and Zhao Ke saw that there was no one around, so he directly threw the dog's corpse into the haystack, and the grass was buried.
After it was done, Zhao Ke frowned, took out a pack of wet wipes from the mail book, and wiped his palms vigorously, as if he was worried that the smell on the dog's body would be contaminated on it.
In fact, he didn't want to kill the dog, but who let this child see that he came out of Widow Li's house, although he was not sure if he would return to this village after completing the main story.
But Zhao Ke didn't want to leave any hidden dangers here.
After glancing at the haystack, Zhao Ke threw away the wet wipes in his hand, turned around and left quickly.
"Whirring ......"
It's already October, and the wind is blowing colder and colder, and the cold, like a needle, pierces people's bones.
"Rustling ......"
A strange noise sounded in the silent corner, and a few rats came out of nowhere, and climbed up to the haystack following the smell of blood, as if they had smelled something delicious, and squeaked excitedly.
Suddenly! Hearing the sound of "swish", a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from under the haystack, caught the mouse on the haystack, and quickly withdrew into the haystack.
It didn't take long to see the dog slowly crawl out of the haystack, wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, grin, stand up and leave quickly.
