【087】 Strange village chief

When I was at the top of the mountain, I observed the red leaf village, the village is not too big, it can even be said that there are some small, the whole village adds up to only 500 people, the houses are basically wooden houses, only a very few mud houses, brick houses that are not visible at all, but after thinking about it, it is indeed this reason, after all, if you want to build a brick house, how to transport those bricks into this mountain is a big problem, there are a lot of fields outside the village, and now there are no people in the fields, it is estimated that they are all cooking at home. What makes me curious is why they didn't move out of this mountain, but chose to stay in this isolated place, but after thinking about it, there was no conclusion, let alone asking Chen Lei, he didn't know.

I followed Chen Lei into the village, many people were eating in the house, and I saw Chen Lei coming out to say hello one by one, it seems that Chen Lei should be very popular among these people, but when they saw me, they asked me about my identity, and Chen Lei smiled and told them that I was a police officer and came to investigate Xiaoxiang's affairs.

Those villagers are very simple, at the beginning they heard that I was a policeman, and they all looked at me with some respect, which made me feel embarrassed, these villagers have little culture, and I feel that the police are cultural people and intellectuals, so they must be respected. But as soon as they heard that I was here to investigate Xiaoxiang's matter, their faces immediately stiffened, and I was even more curious, what could scare these simple villagers like this?

Along the way, I followed Chen Lei left and right, I was dizzy, and finally walked to a very old looking wooden house, Chen Lei took me directly to push the door in, and shouted: "Village chief, comrade police have arrived, come out quickly." ”

It's very dark inside, dirt floor, and there is an offering table in the middle of the hall, on which are placed some wild fruits and incense candles, enshrined the portrait of Taishang Laojun.

"Xiao Leizi, did you go out and find a police comrade for help, okay." As soon as I entered the inner room, an old voice came from me.

"Comrade policeman, wait a minute, I'll help the village chief out." Chen Lei whispered to me, and then ran into the inner room, and I also heard the sound of coughing coming from inside, it seems that this old man is not in very good health.

After a while, Chen Lei helped an old man with white hair to come out, it looked like this old man must be in his eighties, and his face was wrinkled.

"Hello old man, I am the policeman sent to investigate this matter, my name is Wu Jiu." I yelled loudly in the old man's ear.

"Ouch, be quiet, my ears are about to shatter you, although I am old, my hearing is still good, by the way, what is your name?" The old village chief rubbed his ears and glared at me.

"My name is Wu Jiu." I'm quieter this time.

"Ahh The old man's expression was a little stunned, and he paused for a moment before he came back to his senses.

I looked at it and wondered what this old man's reaction meant, so I asked him, "Does the old man know me?" ”

Who knew that the old man looked panicked and replied: "I don't know or not, comrade policeman, let's talk about how you want to solve the haunted matter in our village." ”

Looking at the old man's appearance, I felt that there must be something inside, but I knew that curiosity killed the cat, and it would not do me any good to ask, so I didn't continue to ask, and replied, "I don't know what kind of ghost it is yet, so I have to observe it at night, and if I have the chance, maybe I can help the village solve the haunted matter tonight." ”

After hearing this, the village chief nodded and said, "Well, then let's do this first, Xiao Leizi, go cook something for the police comrade to eat first, and then arrange for him to live in your house, and I will go back to the house to rest first." After saying that, I hurriedly went back to the house without looking back, I looked strange, I felt that this old man seemed to be hiding from me, and I didn't look ugly.

In fact, Chen Lei took me to say hello to the village chief, and after hearing what the village chief said, he took me out of the house, and walked in the village for a while before arriving at his house, his house is different from other wooden houses, it is made of mud, and it seems that the conditions at home are worse than other families in the village.

"Comrade policeman sit casually, I'll go and call my grandfather out." After Chen Lei finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and go to the house, but I immediately stopped him and said, "Forget it, don't disturb the old man, I'm sorry, by the way, your parents." ”

Chen Lei listened to my words, and his originally cheerful mood suddenly fell, and he said in a low voice: "My parents died when I was a child, and my grandfather raised me. ”

When I heard this, I immediately said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention it." ”

"It's okay, what's this, I'm used to it anyway." Chen Lei raised his head and said with a stiff smile, then turned around and walked into a room that looked like a kitchen, and tinkered inside. Although he forced a smile, but I can still feel that he is quite lost, I can understand his feelings, because I have no impression of my parents, ask the master, the master has never told me what is going on, only tell me the story of the red leaf village, etc., I was stunned for a moment, this is also called the red leaf village, is there anything to do with this? Thinking of the village chief's reaction, my heart suddenly became excited, could it be that this is the village where I was born?

Although I was very excited at this time, I was still going to ask the village chief after the haunted matter was resolved, but I was not in a hurry now.

"Brother Chen, I'll help you cook together." It's boring to sit in the room, and I can't bear to see Chen Lei busy working in it alone.

"Then how can you do it, comrade policeman, you are a cultural person, you can't do such rough work." Who knew that Chen Lei actually objected.

"What's this, I grew up in a rural county since I was a child, and I'm not the daughter of a young master who grew up in the city." I said and walked in, and then walked to the place where the fire was burning, and lit the fire. Chen Lei saw that I said this, and he didn't say anything.

"Brother Chen, how was that aromatic man before, tell me about it." It suddenly occurred to me that even if it is a ghost, her character is also very important, just like the previous extreme cathode evil, although she has become a demon, but she has a good heart, so it is very good to persuade her to reincarnate, so I have to understand this fragrant news first.

Chen Lei was stir-frying, listened to my words, pondered for a while, and said, "I told you about Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang is very gentle and kind, and it is impossible to do harmful things, which is the only thing that can explain why she became a ghost but has not harmed anyone, because she has grown up watching her since childhood, originally Hong Chengze also liked her, the two were originally very good, and they were about to get married, but the woman in the city fascinated him, hey." ”

After hearing this, I also nodded and said: "It seems that this Xiaoxiang has not become a ghost, but it is strange that she is still in the world, it is really strange, maybe she still has some wishes that have not been fulfilled, and she can only be reincarnated after it is realized." ”

"Wishes? What else can she wish for, her only wish before was to marry Hong Chengze, it can't be this. Chen Lei asked suspiciously.

I shook my head, although there is indeed a secret marriage, but it is too damaging to yin virtue, the main thing is that the human side will be greatly hurt, at least sick and sick, and at worst reduce life, if her wish is really like this, then I can only overtake or kill her, but if there are other things, as long as it does not damage yin virtue and is very difficult to complete, it can help her complete, so that she can reincarnate with peace of mind.

Then I chatted with Chen Lei about other things, chatting about things, anyway, I just talked about it everywhere, and I also learned a lot of things, such as some common sense of survival in the mountains or something, and then eat after cooking, don't you say, it's really delicious, it is worthy of the food made by the fire I burned, and it tastes different.

After eating, Chen Lei found me a room, cleaned up briefly, and then went to sleep, mainly to prepare for tonight's events, after all, I didn't rest well last night, and now my head is still dizzy. As soon as I lay down and closed my eyes, it felt like it was only a matter of ten seconds, and I fell asleep in a daze.
