Chapter 67: The Red Candle
Jiang Zhou looked at Li Laosan speechlessly.
This guy is a pretty fast runner!
And in the middle of the night, what kind of song is singing on the road, like a ghost howling.
Sifan blushed: "Phew, what are you singing!" ”
Jiang Zhou didn't even hear him shouting!
"We're here for two junior high school students, have you seen that?" Jiang Zhou asked.
"No, no, no ......," Li Laosan shook his head vigorously.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with these two students?" ”
"Missing." Jiang Zhou said.
"Huh?" Li Laosan was a little shocked.
Jiang Zhou looked at Li Laosan's reaction and asked, "You should be able to tell me by now, what do you know about the previous disappearances of Yushu, right?" ”
"I ......," Li Laosan said with some embarrassment, "I really don't know anything." There's only one missing person I've ever seen. ”
"Tell me." Jiang Zhou said.
"It was a repeat customer, who had come to play before, and added my mobile phone, saying that he would come to me to buy strawberries in the future. He said yes the first day, and came to me to buy strawberries the next day, and I deliberately stayed at home and waited for him, but he didn't come after waiting for a day, and the phone didn't work. ”
"I thought I had been released and scolded him at home. Later, the police came to the village to investigate the situation, and I learned that this person was missing, and his family said that he had left for Elm in the morning, but I didn't see anyone at all. Li Laosan said.
Jiang Zhou sounded a little familiar, the lost ghost also went to the elm tree, but it seemed to die halfway through......
"Why did those two student babies go missing, why don't you call the police?" Li Laosan asked.
"They left the B&B by themselves in the middle of the night, and now they don't know where they are, but everyone is looking for them." Sifan said.
"Maybe you're playing there, the kids are very naughty, and there used to be people who came to steal our strawberries." Li Laosan said dryly that the children in their village often sneak home in the middle of the night, so this can't be called missing......
"Okay, thank you, fellow, you couldn't be in such a hurry just now, right?" Jiang Zhou said.
Li Laosan: "......"
Who's getting upset! It's not that I'm scared of you two chasing after me!
Who would have thought that you would still be hanging out in the middle of the night!
"I was in a hurry to go home for dinner, so I left first. If those two student babies are really gone, you can find the village chief and ask the whole village to help find them. Li Laosan said.
He really didn't want to get involved with Jiang Zhou and them again, so he hurriedly left.
Watching Li Laosan leave, Jiang Zhou felt a little regretful, he felt that if he asked again, maybe he could squeeze out something.
"Forget it, keep looking." Jiang Zhou said.
"Hmm." Sifan turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone again, and then sped up two steps to keep up with Jiang Zhou's pace.
"Jiang Zhou, slow down......"
"Jiang Zhou, maybe someone else has already found those two children."
"Jiang Zhou, some people's lights are still on, why don't we ask, what if we see them?"
Jiang Zhou felt that Sifan's proposal was also reasonable.
So when the two men saw which house was still lit, they went up and knocked on the door.
"Did you see two junior high school students? Wearing a white and blue school uniform? ”
"Nope...... Thanks for bothering me. ”
Many people also offered to help find it, and met an old aunt who stuffed a handful of peanuts and melon seeds for Sifan and Jiang Zhou.
Well...... came out to find someone, why did they still eat melon seeds, and they weren't onlookers......
……
At this time, Li Laosan had just arrived home.
He hurried into a small courtyard, and when he saw the bright and warm lights in his hall, he felt that his mood had finally calmed down.
Taking off his mud-stained coat and entering the house, he saw his wife, son, and parents all gathered around the table, obviously waiting while eating, and immediately said with a smile: "What are you waiting for me to do, eat and sleep by yourself in the middle of the night, I can just get some myself." ”
Li Laosan's family is often busy until the evening, so there will be a supper, Li Laosan is used to it, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Huh? Why is there no food on this table? ”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt a chill.
Because he saw that his family was holding chopsticks in their hands, taking them into their mouths one by one, and chewing them one by one.
There is no food on the table, what are they eating?
At this moment, his wife turned to look at him, with a smile on her face.
"Dish...... Isn't that on? ”
……
Jiang Zhou and Si Fan continued to move forward.
As the time gets later and later, there are fewer and fewer people with the lights on.
"Let's go check it out."
Jiang Zhou and Si Fan came to the door of the room.
The folk customs of the elm trees are relatively simple, and many yards are not closed.
Sifan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Hello, excuse me!"
However, there was no sound in the house.
On the contrary, the hidden door was exposed because of Sifan's knocking.
"Huh? There doesn't seem to be anyone in the house? Si Fan glanced at the crack in the door and said strangely.
It's so late, the house is on, but there is no one.
At this time, Jiang Zhou stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
As he opened the door, the light in the room flickered.
In this house, there is actually no light on, but on a table, there are four big red candles the thickness of a baby's arm, which are burning, the flames are constantly beating, and the red candle oil flows onto the table like blood.
What they saw outside was the light of the four red candles.
And in the middle of the four red candles, there is a whitish pig's head.
The pig's eyes were open, and there seemed to be a hint of horror in his eyes, and he was staring in the direction of the door.
Seeing this scene, Leng Buding was startled by both Sifan and Jiang Zhou.
"Is this a sacrifice? Someone in this family can't have just died, right? Sifan whispered.
"Probably." Jiang Zhou frowned and said.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone in this house, so let's go and ask the next one."
Sifan and Jiang Zhou turned around and walked outside.
At this moment, Jiang Zhou suddenly turned around, and a black shadow flew out of his hand suddenly.
Bang!
The shadow hit one of the red candlesticks accurately.
The candle flame shook violently.
And the black shadow immediately returned to Jiang Zhou's hands.
Yo-yo!
At the empty table just now, there were two more old men, a middle-aged woman, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
In their hands, they all held a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
At the dinner table, on the other hand, lay a man, his eyes wide open in horror and his mouth wide open.
It's like that pig's head.
Hearing the movement of the yo-yo, the family turned their heads to look.
looked at Jiang Zhou and Sifan silently.
The two sides looked at each other silently.
At this time, Jiang Zhou suddenly opened his mouth and broke the silence.
"The folks are eating? Speaking of which, we're still hungry, would you mind adding two of us? ”
Jiang Zhou walked over with a smile.
The few people who ate were stunned for a moment.
The man lying on the table stared at Jiang Zhou and Si Fan who were close at hand, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He desperately opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make a sound at all.
"Huh? Don't have enough chopsticks? Fortunately, I always bring my own dishes and chopsticks. Jiang Zhou said, taking out a pair of scissors.
Cha!
The middle-aged woman's right hand holding chopsticks was nailed to the table with scissors.
"Lend me chopsticks?" Jiang Zhou smiled.
