Chapter 213: Tang Renxue
Fang Lubai smiled: "It's very filial, my name is Fang Lubai, from Lucheng, come to find someone." ”
As soon as Fang Lubai's words fell, Old Lady Chen suddenly turned her head to look at him: "Police? ”
The voice was very small, but it shocked Fang Lubai's heart, this old lady was really not simple.
"Don't be nervous, I've read reports from five years ago. You don't have that kind of smell on your body, it's a little better than I thought, it's just a pity, too young, I can't control my thread, and I was a good seedling. ”
Xia Zhi came up and asked, "Grandma, what are you talking about?" ”
"Huh? Why are there so many people today? A deep, hoarse old man's voice struck Fang Lubai's conversation.
"Village Chief, you're here!" Zhou Xiaofa hurriedly ran forward and said.
"Zhou Xiaofa, it's hard work today." The village chief patted him on the shoulder and said, "Everyone, welcome to Xiaotang Village, I am Tang Shaoqing, the head of Xiaotang Village, there are no good dishes and good meals in the poor villages of this village, please bear with me if there is any inconsiderate hospitality." ”
Chen Shu spoke first: "Look at this big table, you can get a lot of money in the city, and this time it can be regarded as a meal of the overlord." ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
"As for entertaining, this brother has done a very good job." The statement politely complimented a few more words.
Everyone's demeanor was almost the same, and they were all expecting the village chief to continue.
"Xiaotang Village has a long history," said the village chief, "In order to escape the war, our ancestors brought hundreds of people to this barren mountain and wilderness, and they relied on their own wisdom to develop this place to have the continuation of our current incense." The villagers of Xiaotang Village have always lived in harmony, and the economic conditions have always been good, although it is much worse than the outside world, but this kind of field life is exactly what the villagers yearn for.
Ten years ago, his appearance led to the development of Xiaotang Village and made earth-shaking changes in the village.
"Tang Renxue was originally from Xiaotang Village, but he has been studying abroad since he was a child, and he returned to Xiaotang Village with academic achievements, hoping that everyone in the village will live a prosperous life.
"Tang Renxue came to the village not long after, was elected as the village, after taking office, the economy of Xiaotang Village rose rapidly like a wind, at that time the villagers of Xiaotang Village came, he was the pride of our village is the savior of our village, everyone in the village likes their family very much.
"Tang Renxue has a wife and a daughter, his wife is frail and sick, and Tang Renxue has a lot of affairs, so he recruited a nanny from outside. At that time, the thought was feudal, and the family felt that there was always a difference between the master and the servant, but Tang Renxue did not think so, he regarded the nanny as a family member, and it could even be said that he was closer than the family, and there was no difference between the poor and the rich, and there was no distinction between superior and inferior people.
"Far from it, now the weird thing I'm about to talk about is here.
"It was the middle of the night in the summer, and the silence of the originally quiet mountain village was suddenly broken by a heart-rending cry, which was shocking, crying ghosts and gods, that is, desolation was outrageous.
"Everyone in the village heard the cry and hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out, but we didn't expect that just after going out, we saw a raging fire burning, the fire had lit up the whole sky, just like daytime, and later we found that the place where the fire broke out was actually the home of the village chief Tang Renxue.
"When we saw the scene, the villagers took out their washbasins from their homes and started fighting the fire at lightning speed.
"When the fire was fighting, there was a cry from the fire, a heart-rending and outrageous cry. At first, we thought it was the cry of Tang Renxue's family, and the fire was out of control at that time.
"But we were wrong, it was not a human cry, it was a cry similar to that of a man or even a beast."
The village chief paused as he said this, a strange expression on his face.
Fang Lubai smiled at the corner of his mouth, interesting.
"It's true, all the villagers who put out the fire back then heard it." The village chief's tone was firm, more like an oath.
The village chief took a sip of water: "The crying thing really makes us unbelievable, but what makes us feel even more unbelievable is the fire, the fire is burning like a curse, desperately destroying like a beast that has lost its shackles, no matter how we douse it with water, the fire will not be extinguished, and even more crazy than the original."
And so, the fire lasted all night, and the horrific cry was accompanied by the fire cry for a night.
The next day the fire was extinguished, and the Tang Ren scholar was in shambles, and the once splendid house was now unsightly. Four bodies, we sent four bodies at the scene of the fire.
The four bodies were Tang Renxue, his wife, his ten-year-old daughter, and the nanny who had been with them for seven years.
"After an investigation by the police from outside, the cause of the fire was a short circuit in the wires, and there were many problems in the village when electricity had just been introduced. As for the portion of the corpse, due to the severity of the burning, coupled with the backward technology at that time, only the sex could be determined. "Forensic identification, the corpses were a man and three women, one of which was a little girl, so it was Tang Renxue's family who couldn't be wrong.
"Tang Renxue has made so many contributions to our Xiaotang Village, and the villagers specially built a temple in the original place of his family to commemorate him, and that temple is the temple not far from the brigade."
Fang Lubai subconsciously looked out, he passed by there just now, he always thought that it was for the Bodhisattva, but he didn't expect it to be the previous village chief.
The village chief lamented: "The temple enshrines the spirit tablets of the four of them, and the only valuable item we found at the scene of the fire, a red bead.
"Since the fire, the economy of Xiaotang Village has plummeted, and it didn't take long for it to return to its original state, and there were rumors at that time that it was the soul of Tang Renxue's family, and they also began to insult Tang Renxue in a big way, and finally the village formed a pattern of two major gangs, and many people left the village in order to escape Tang Renxue's curse.
"Until now, there are only a few of us left in Xiaotang Village, and they are all women and children, which is really chilling to say! But it didn't end there, and now, I'm going to talk about what happened three years ago. ”
"Village chief, do you really want to speak?" Zhou Xiaofa suddenly interrupted, "You will scare the guests like this." ”
"What are you grinding and chirping!" The black-faced man was a little impatient, "Old man, talk about it!" Don't disturb Lao Tzu's Yaxing! ”
"Yes! Village Chief, just go on! ”
"yes, now suddenly we're more curious."
The people in the room were gossiping, seeing that everyone was in high spirits, the village chief also patted his thigh and said, "Okay, then I'll continue, I hope I don't scare you." That's three years ago—"
The village chief paused and looked at Zhou Xiaofa: "I believe that you will never forget this incident!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Xiaofa nodded, shuddered slightly, and said, "I wandered here that year, you took me in, and I will never forget what happened this year in my life." ”
"What are you doing?" The black-faced man slapped the table, "Tell me quickly!" Lao Tzu can't wait. What happened three years ago? ”
The old man glared at the black-faced man with disdain: "It was a night when the wind was dark and the wind was high, and I couldn't see my fingers, and a howl that seemed like a human and not a human, like a beast and not a beast broke the silence of the dark night in Tangcun, and next to it was a burst of timid pleading. When we all get up and go to the source of the sound, you know what we see?
Man, it's a savage, and we see a savage biting a living man.
"The wild man had a disc-sized face, covered in shaggy body hair, and two eyes protruding out like marbles, like a loss. When he was biting a man's head, blood was splashing out of his mouth, and the scene made everyone present feel creepy, and the person he was bitten by was a famous hooligan in my village.
