It took more than two hours for the police to arrive.

After looking at the corpse in the river, he didn't blame the villagers for being superstitious and timid, so he immediately found a fishing boat and salvaged the corpse.

After all, it is normal for villagers living in remote mountains to be superstitious, especially the kind of old people in the village, who believe in ghosts.

"Come, you can identify it and see if it's from your village!"

Because the way the corpse floated just now was very strange, the villagers all had a great fear of the corpse. Although the body was salvaged at this moment, the villagers still did not dare to approach, but only watched from a distance.

The police looked at the villagers who were several meters away, a little helpless, but it was not easy to get angry.

"Isn't this a big pillar?!" A villager said.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the corpse's face, "It's really a big pillar!" ”

"Wasn't Dazhu still fine yesterday? Why is it suddenly gone today! ”

"Who are you talking about?" The officer asked.

"It's from our village, whose real name is Deng Haizhu, and he lives in the last house in the east. The daughter-in-law fell ill a few years ago and passed away, and her parents also died very young. He also has a son, but he works outside the home. ”

"Did he ever have a feud with anyone else?" The police asked.

"No, Dazhu is very kind, and he has a good relationship with every family in the village." The village chief said: "Besides, in our place, we all bow our heads and don't look up, even if there is a real grudge, it is good to scold a couple of sentences, and we will not kill people because of a trivial matter." ”

Hearing this, the policeman nodded.

This kind of thing is not uncommon on their side, a village is so big, and everyone has no money, so there is not much conflict of interest.

Poor places, that's all it takes, the folk customs are relatively simple!

The police made some records, then returned to the police station with the body, and conducted a forensic examination of the body, confirming that it was only a simple drowning, and there was no trace of homicide.

This matter, on the side of the police, will not be resolved.

As for the Yunlai Village side, as soon as the police left, the village chief gathered everyone together and began to discuss what to do next.

"If you want me to see, go find Guo Lao!" One of the four old men said.

"It's not proper, we're not sure if anything will happen now, what if we bring Guo Lao here?" The village chief said.

"Yes, what the village chief said is reasonable."

When everyone heard this, they also agreed with the village chief.

"Otherwise, let's wait and see what happens now, and if something really happens again, we'll go and ask Guo Lao." A villager proposed.

After hearing this, everyone thought that this method would work, "Okay, let's do it!" ”

"However, in the last few days, everyone should be careful and try not to go out alone wherever they go. Especially by the river, you can't go! An uncle instructed.

"Don't worry, third uncle, we'll pay attention! Everyone hasn't lived enough! ”

……

In this way, the villagers spent three days safely in fear, and everything was calm, just when everyone thought that there would be no more accidents.

Day 4......

Another villager drowned, but this time, not in the river, but in his own well.

When everyone went down to the well to fish, they found that he was also head-to-foot.

But the salvage man had already gone down, and although he was afraid, he still stiffened his head, tied a rope around the waist of the deceased, and pulled him up.

The villagers who went down to the well to fish for people, when they came up, immediately ran back to their homes, didn't care about anything, just hid in their bedrooms, and didn't go anywhere.

As for the village chief, they first organized people to cremate the body together with the deceased's family. Subsequently, he sent someone to invite Guo Lao.

The whole village was anxiously waiting, and the one who went to ask Guo Lao finally came back. However, he was the only one who came back, and Guo Lao did not accompany him.

"Guo is old?" The village chief hurriedly asked.

"Guo Lao, he is not at home, he has gone out!"

"What!" The village chief was immediately disappointed, "Then do you know when he will come back?" ”

"Three days later!"

"Three days!" The village chief hurriedly said to the villagers: "Don't go anywhere for the next three days, don't do farm work or anything, just stay at home." Even if you are fetching water in a well, you have to be two people together, one person to fight, and one person to watch me from a distance, and immediately shout for help if something happens, so that everyone can save people together. Do you hear that? ”

"I heard you!" The crowd responded. It's a matter of their own lives, and no one will make any trouble at this time.

……

"In this way, we spent another three days peacefully, that is, until yesterday." Chen Tiande said slowly: "Seeing that Guo Lao can be invited here today, and everything can be solved, who knows, this morning, another person died." Runko shouldn't have died, it's only been such a short night, and everything will be fine if he survives, but he still went. ”

As he spoke, Chen Tiande's eyes were slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Is this Runzi the same villager who went down to the well three days ago to fish for people?" Lu Tianyi asked.

"No, it's Yangzi who fishes people."

"Then who is Guo Lao?"

"Guo Lao is a Gu master on our side, his family used to be a tribal wizard on our side, and after the reform and opening up, he relied on the witchcraft of his family to exorcise evil spirits in our village."

"In other words, he is the Miao Jiang wizard that we are rumored to be in the outside world?"

"That's right!" Chen Tiande nodded, "Guo Lao has a lot of ability, and he usually goes to him when he encounters this kind of thing, and there is no problem that can't be solved." ”

"I just heard the seventy-year-old man in the village by the river also called him Guo Lao, so how old is he?"

"I don't know. All I know is that for as long as I can remember, he has been called Guo Lao by the old people of the village! If you count the time, it must be more than 40 years ago. ”

"Is Guo Lao's residence far from here?"

"It's not particularly far, mainly because the road on our side is not easy to walk, especially after a night of heavy rain last night, I just heard that there have been landslides in many places, maybe it will take a while for them to come back."

"Then wait slowly! I didn't expect to come to Dali this time, and I could meet your wizards in Miaojiang! ”

"By the way, little brother, since you also know witchcraft, can you get rid of this evil thing?"

"I'm not sure about that, after all, I haven't seen that evil thing. Besides, haven't you already sent someone to invite Guo Lao, wait for him to come, and see if he has any way! ”

This wait is two hours, they didn't wait for Guo Lao, but waited for the crew who went and returned.

"What are you?" Lu Tianyi was a little puzzled.

"We are trapped here, and the road to Taoyuan Ancient Town has also collapsed, and only motorcycles can barely pass by the side." Tsui Hark smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, just continue to give yourself a holiday!" Lu Tianyi comforted.

"Mr. Lu, you don't know, we do this business, time is very tight, yesterday was a half-day off, it's already a lot. Today's delay will be tiring for several days. ”

"But you can't do anything about it now. It's better to relax and wait for the road to pass! ”

"That's all there is to it for now!"
