Chapter 56: The Old Man
Taking advantage of the fact that the old man did not carry his back, one person stepped forward directly, covering the old man's mouth with his hand, and several people walked outside the village with their hands and feet.
"Who are you, help?" As soon as he stopped, he shouted loudly.
"Shut up, if you don't want to live, just shout." After that, he directly took out a dagger and shook it in front of the old man.
Seeing this dagger with a sharp blade, the old man directly closed his mouth tightly, not daring to say anything more.
"Listen, old fellow, if you want to live, you have to explain it clearly, what we ask you and what you answer, if not, you can meet with Lord Yama." One person said ruthlessly.
At this time, the old man was really frightened and trembled with fright.
However, the first person didn't pay attention to it and asked directly.
"Some time ago, did anyone of you check on our camp?"
Hearing the words of a few people, this old man also reacted at this time, it turned out that several people were sent by bandits.
"A few masters, what are you talking about, I don't know."
The old man replied.
"You dare to bluff us," he said, and directly picked up the dagger and put it on the old man's neck.
"Hurry up and always explain, the people who were arrested before have already explained, so what you said differently, it will end your life here."
Feeling the pain in his neck and the coldness of the dagger, the old man didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time, after all, he already knew the words of the bandits, someone betrayed his village, for his own life, he no longer insisted, people don't kill for themselves.
"Previously, the people in the village had talked about the robbers, and some people did go to investigate."
"Somebody's coming back injured." One asked again.
"Some time ago, someone was called an archery."
"In that case, can anyone in your village report to the official?"
The first person asked directly to the point.
However, when he heard this, the old man was a little hesitant.
"Say it quickly." Between the words, the bandit increased the strength of the injured again, and blood came out for a while.
The old man directly trembled again.
"Look at your rat-like appearance, so scared, you say, if anyone in your village has gone to report to the official."
"Yes, yes, but someone went to report to the official." The old man shuddered.
"Oh, how did you go to report to the official, this only way out is under our care, you can't do it because you have wings, quickly and honestly explain how you got out."
A few people are also very strange at this time, after all, the road is official, they have sent people to watch over it all the time, and any wind and grass will not escape their eyes.
"Say it quickly, I'll let you go back here."
So for the sake of his own life, the old man made the matter clear, and explained the plans of the village from the waterway road.
"Okay, you can go back."
After hearing this, the old man got up directly, scattered his legs and began to run towards the village.
It's just that he hasn't gone far when he hears a pop, and the old man falls to the ground in response, his eyes wide open.
Just the next day. An old woman went out to buy groceries, and just a few steps out of the house, she saw a black object by a small river, and because of a moment of curiosity, the old woman walked in that direction, and when she walked in, she found that it was a dead person!
He was dressed in black, with blood all over his side, his face was pale and bloodless, and his face was hideous, and he looked terrifying.
When the old woman saw it, she was so frightened that her legs weakened, and she fell down directly, "Ah!! The old woman screamed.
Someone nearby heard the old woman's screams, and then, hearing the sound, rushed over. I saw the old woman fall to the ground with a frightened face, and her face was pale. A man hurriedly walked up and helped the old woman up.
The man looked at the old woman and asked, "What's the matter?" Did something happen? Why did you fall to the ground......" Before the man could finish his sentence, the old woman interrupted him.
The old woman pointed to the dead man by the creek and stammered, "Over there...... Yes...... There was a ......" said that his fingers were still shaking, and his face was terrified.
The man looked in the direction of the old woman's finger and saw something black. Then he turned his head and glanced at the old woman behind him, and then looked in the direction and walked straight over, and walked in, only to find that it was a dead person, and the man looked at the corpse in front of him, and was also startled.
Someone next to him recognized who the corpse was, and he was the one who had been patrolling the village. But how could he die by the river? Who killed him? Is there any deep hatred with him? actually killed him directly. Or did he find something and be killed by the murderer? However, these are all speculations, and no one knows why.
The man's brow furrowed, and his gaze returned to the old woman beside him.
The old woman thought that the man was suspicious of her, so she quickly shook her hand and explained to the man, "No...... Not me...... I was just...... It's ......"
"No, we don't suspect that the murderer is you, can you tell us what's going on? Just tell us what you know. The man said to the old woman.
How old is the old woman, there is no reason to be her, even if it is her, who will believe it?!
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the man's words, and said, "I was just shopping for vegetables, and I passed by here, and then I saw something by the river, and I was curious, and I went up, and I ...... I didn't expect it to be a corpse. ”
"Who killed him? I don't think it's as simple as it seems. The man said to the crowd.
The old woman was first found by the creek, was she killed by the creek? Some were killed somewhere else, and then their bodies were dumped by the river.
This incident immediately caused a lot of panic. After all, there hasn't been a murder in Xinghua Village for a long time.
Soon, this matter penetrated into everyone's ears. Everybody's talking about it.
The third uncle, who is the head of the village, instructed everyone: Don't go out again.
"Not going out? How is this possible! Although this is happening now, if we don't go out, what will we eat? What to drink? And there's so much more to do! ”
"yes, is it possible that we have to hide at home all the time?!"
"Even if we have been hiding at home, can we hide for a while, for a lifetime?!" The villagers were all against it.
"Then you go out, it's none of our business if you die!" The third uncle of the village chief was furious.
Hearing his words, the people didn't dare to say anything more. After all, it's too dangerous outside now, and human life is at stake, so it's better to be careful.
