The boy said, "I have heard that people who want to leave the village and live elsewhere die in an accident not long after they leave the village. ”

"How did they all die?" Mo Chen asked.

The boy said, "I heard that there were people who were burned to death by fire. There are also riots and people who are accidentally injured and die, and some, falling objects from high altitudes, all in all, the process is ever-changing, but they can't escape a dead word. ”

"So, even if the living conditions here are bad, you will have to stay here and not be able to leave." Mo Chen said.

The boy nodded sadly, Mo Chen thought for a while, and asked, "Listening to what you said so much, don't you suspect that the person who told the devil is that bearded man?" ”

The boy nodded and said, "His name is Banta, and he is the head of our village. ”

Mo Chen asked, "The current village chief?" Could it be that when the demon snatched the goddess, the village chief was not Banta? ”

The boy replied, "Yes, then the goddess was snatched away and the goddess abandoned us.

The fields were all desolate in one day, and the people of the village were panicked, and Banta took the lead in accusing the village chief of the incompetence of the leadership, causing us to have traitors among us, and the fields were left like this.

Although some of the villagers complained about the village chief at the instigation of Banta, most of them were just chewing their tongues.

However, unexpectedly, one morning, people found the village chief dead in the river outside the village.

Later, the village chief's body was recovered from the river, and a suicide note was found on his body.

It was probably people's complaints, which put the village chief under tremendous pressure, maybe it was the guilt of being the leader of the village, maybe he couldn't stand the people poking him in the back anymore, in short, the village chief committed suicide. ”

Mo Chen asked, "Banta, is it the new village chief that you elected later?" ”

The boy pursed his lips, seemingly unconvinced that Banta was the village chief.

Sure enough, the boy said angrily, "It is said that everyone is electing the new village chief, but the voting method, it is true that everyone anonymously writes a note about who they want to vote for as the village chief, and finally, by a few old people in the village, they are counted, and whoever has the highest number of votes is the new village chief." ”

Mo Chen nodded and said, "Democracy is the fairest vote, even if you personally don't like Banta, it's useless."

After all, the minority obeys the majority. ”

The boy explained, "It's not that I'm not unconvinced, it's just Banta, I don't think he really has that much influence to make so many people want him to be the village chief." ”

Hearing this, Mo Chen probably figured out the situation in the village, and listened to the meaning of the boy's words, Banta was the one who told the devil.

From inciting people's emotions to ascending to the position of village chief step by step, if Banta is said to be open-minded, Mo Chen will not believe it.

Although there are still some things that Mo Chen has not figured out for the time being, he is not in a hurry to ask now.

Instead, thinking about talking to the boy about something else first, Mo Chen looked at the boy with a smile on his face.

The boy inadvertently raised his head, and when he saw Mo Chen looking at him like this, the boy was confused.

He asked Mo Chen strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Mo Chen moved his shoulders, changed his comfortable position, looked sideways at the boy and said, "The situation you have here, I just heard it and understand it, I don't need to elaborate, I also know that you are nothing more than thinking about me, and you can help you find out the cause of Uncle St. Regis's death."

If it's really Uncle Regis who Banta killed, I'm afraid you still need to help you get revenge! Mo Chen raised his chin at the boy, judging from the boy's expression, Mo Chen guessed correctly.

The boy asked Mo Chen uneasily, "What do you want to say?" ”

Mo Chen smiled lightly, and he said, "I deeply sympathize with what happened to you, if I can really help, I will naturally not shirk it."

It's just that you're acting with me like this, but it's not a way to ask for help, right?! ”

"I'm acting? What am I playing?! The boy asked in surprise.

Mo Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, he pointed to the door outside the cage, and said, "From the first time you came, to the time you came to me again, in the interval between these two times, I have not seen any guard enter the room. ”

The boy argued, "That's because they were outside and didn't have anything important, so they didn't come in."

Just because you didn't see the guards, did you wronged me for lying to you? ”

Mo Chen shook his head and said, "Until now, you still refuse to tell the truth?"

Okay, let me ask you, you said there were guards outside the door, so how did you get in? Even if the food is delivered, it is delivered in the evening. ”

The boy insisted, "Because it's late and they've gone to eat and drink, that's why I sneaked in." ”

Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, "Look, the former said that the village is barren in terms of materials, under such conditions, the guard is still in the mood, oh no, a little guard, can even drink wine at will?" ”

After a pause, Mo Chen said, "Even if it is a relationship between mutual use, the information should be disclosed first, so that it can be considered equal."

Since you don't want to tell the truth, then I think you better go back and rest early!

You don't have to waste your words here. ”

After Mo Chen said this, he closed his eyes and recuperated, ignoring the boy.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little frozen, Mo Chen didn't speak, and the boy didn't say anything.

The wind and snow outside the window were whistling and manic, and as time ticked by, Mo Chen made up his mind that if the boy didn't tell the truth, he wouldn't pay attention to him anymore.

Finally, the boy couldn't hold his breath, he took a long breath and said, "I'm sorry, I admit that I lied to you, please forgive me." ”

Mo Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the boy with a satisfied smile, Mo Chen said, "That's right, confess early, which not only saves time, but also facilitates our next cooperation." ”

The boy's face turned red, and the lie didn't survive even a day, and it was exposed back then, which really embarrassed him.

But in Mo Chen's opinion, if no one teaches such a young child how to be honest, especially when he asks for others, he must first confess to each other.

When this child grows up, I am afraid that his character may not be much better than the Banta in the boy's heart.

The boy glanced at Mo Chen tentatively, and asked weakly, "Then now, we can continue to talk, is my business?" ”

Mo Chen shook his head, and the boy looked at Mo Chen puzzled, "Why?" ”

Mo Chen pointed to the heavy iron chain at his ankle and said, "Don't you think, before this, you should help untie my anklet?" ”

"This thing, I ......"

Mo Chen grabbed the white and interrupted the boy's words, "The guards were made up by you to deceive me, this cell, I guess, is either left by your Uncle Regis, or the abandoned cell in your village." ”

Mo Chen pointed to a set of tables and chairs outside the cage and on the wall, and said, "Look at the dust on that stool, it's so thick that it almost crushes the stool." ”
