Chapter 16: The Death of the Village Chief
While the whole village was mourning the camel baby, in the cave of the three-eyed stone statue, a figure was digging behind the stone statue, and another figure was standing in a more hidden dark place silently watching everythingγγγγγ
That night, although Fang Rui had doubts about the death of the camel baby, he had no clue and could only stay in the house honestly, but Sun Xiaoxiao wandered around the village for a long time until he came back very late.
"Where did you go to come back so late?" Su Su couldn't help complaining when she saw that her boyfriend had finally come back, she was still an injured person, and she didn't see him accompany her well. Li Lei and Fang Rui also looked at Sun Xiaoxiao together, I really didn't know that he could visit such a small village for so long?
"Go gossip!" Sun Xiaoxiao sat down unceremoniously on the ground, picked up a bowl of porridge and poured it into his mouth, and only after pouring it did he speak again, "The death of the camel baby is unknown, I always feel that there is a big article here." There must be some other stories in the village, so I'll talk to the villagers and find out! β
"Did you understand anything?" Su Su, as a girl's natural gossip attribute, turned on, and leaned over with stars in her eyes and asked.
"There's an interesting story." Sun Xiao smiled meaningfully, and continued, "But what, that was more than ten years ago, but it has something to do with the village chief." β
"What is it? Tell me about it! Su Su urged.
"Hasn't it been a long time since a child has been born in the village? I found out that the last child who was born and survived was the grandson of the village chief. Unfortunately, when the child was five years old, the child's mother, the daughter of the village chief, left the village with the child. Sun Xiao said with a smile.
"Can the village chief have a daughter with such a body? Besides, isn't this village impossible to leave? How can the village chief's daughter take the child away? Fang Rui asked suspiciously.
"I also think it's strange that this kind of conjoined person can have children. However, I heard that the daughter was normal except that she was deaf, and the children she gave birth to did not specify what the defects were. The village chief's daughter left with her child on the night of the Midyear Festival, the only day to worry about miasma. Sun Xiaoxiao explained.
"And where?" Fang Rui continued to ask.
"No more." Sun Xiaoxiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is the only gossip in the village that I can inquire about, and this is what I have been knocking on for a long time before I heard about it." If I asked deeper, the villagers stopped talking to me. β
Li Lei and Fang Rui glanced at each other, this gossip doesn't seem to be useful, what can it have to do with the death of the camel baby? Fang Rui couldn't think of a reason, so he had to give up in the end.
The night when there is no Internet or even electricity is very boring, Fang Rui and the others went to bed early, they really don't know what else to do except sleep.
Fang Rui, who was lying on the bed, thought that it would not be easy to fall asleep if he went to bed so early, but he didn't expect that not long after lying down, he would fight with his upper and lower eyelids, and finally saw Li Lei adding a few more firewood to the fireγγγγγ
"Wake up, wake up!" There seemed to be a voice in Fang Rui's ears, and someone was shaking his arm. Fang Rui, who was gradually waking up, opened his eyes.
"How... What's wrong? Fang Rui asked.
"Something is wrong! The village chief is dead, and the child is gone! Sun Xiao shouted at Fang Rui with a smile.
"Kid? Which child? Fang Rui was still asleep in a daze, and he didn't react for a while.
"It's the girl baby born to the camel's wife yesterday!" Sun Xiao said with a smile.
"Huh!?" Fang Rui jumped up directly from the bed, "The village chief is dead?" How so? β
"I don't know the specifics, let's go and see!" Sun Xiaoxiao pulled Fang Rui and Su Su and rushed out of the house.
Fang Rui followed Sun Xiaoxiao to the village chief's stone house, it turned out that Li Lei, who woke up early in the morning, heard a cry from the village chief's stone house when he went out for a walk, and when he went in, he found that it was Dongsheng who was calling, and the village chief had fallen in a pool of bloodγγγγγ
When he came to the village chief's bedroom, the village chief had already died of anger, and the strange thing was that the village chief's left head was smashed open a big hole, and blood and brains flowed all over the ground. There was no wound on the vicious head on the right, but there was a smug smile on his face after death. In the right hand of the conjoined body, a stone was tightly grasped, and the stone was dripping with blood.
This stone is obviously the murder weapon!
The right hand of the village chief, killed herself!?
This... How can it be?
The lives of conjoined people are tied together, and if one of them is killed, the other will not live long. Could it be that the right part of the village chief suddenly went crazy? Otherwise, how can you commit such an act that amounts to suicide?
Dongsheng sat next to the corpse of the village chief and cried all the time, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked around at a loss, but Li Lei was comforting a group of shocked and grieving villagers.
"What's going on?" Fang Rui couldn't help but ask Li Lei.
"I didn't know, when I came in, I saw the village chief lying in a pool of blood, next to Dongsheng, who was already scared." Li Lei pointed at Dongsheng and continued, "I guess he saw it when he came over to wake up the village chief in the morning." β
After hearing this, Fang Rui walked up to Dongsheng and squatted down, and asked softly, "Dongsheng, you... Okay? β
"I... I... Wow~~~! Dong Sheng's eyes were glazed, and it wasn't until he saw that it was Fang Rui standing in front of him that he cried loudly, "Village Chief... Why did the village chief die? How did she die? β
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Fang Rui hurriedly reassured, "Tell me how you found the village chief?" β
"I... I... Dongsheng wiped his tears and slowed down for a while before intermittently recounting what happened last night.
It turned out that yesterday afternoon Dongsheng came back to help the village chief take care of the baby after visiting the camel family, and finally the village chief said that Dongsheng should go back to sleep, after all, Dongsheng has never had the experience of taking care of children, and when he left, the village chief also told Dongsheng to drink some soothing tea before going to bed, saying that the baby will always cry at night, and drink some soothing tea to sleep well so that the baby will not be noisy by the baby.
Tranquility tea is a kind of herbal tea prepared by the village chief, the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep is very good, the winter life is usually a little nervous breakdown, the sleep state is not good, from time to time to drink some tranquility tea before going to bed to fall asleep. So, last night, Dongsheng listened to the advice of the village chief, drank tea and went to sleep.
After a good night's sleep, Dongsheng felt that he slept very soundly, and when he woke up in the morning, he remembered that the village chief must be tired from taking care of the baby at such an old age, so he hurriedly ran to the village chief's room to help. But when he pushed the door open, he saw the village chief lying in a pool of blood, and the baby... It's gone!
"That is, you slept very deeply last night and didn't hear any sounds from the village chief's room?" Fang Rui asked.
Dong Sheng nodded, at this moment, he regretted very much why he drank that cup of soothing tea, otherwise he would have heard a little movement!
"I've told the villagers to look around for the baby." Li Lei walked over and said.
"How can this kid say that he is also a big living person, where else can he hide?" Sun Xiaoxiao said as he looked around at the surrounding villagers, then lowered his voice and said, "They don't look like they have stolen children." β
"Stealing children?" Fang Rui frowned, "What's the use of them stealing children?" Besides, the village is so small, how long can the child live in hiding it if he steals it? β
"But what else? If you want to kill the child, why take the child away, isn't it more convenient to kill it and throw it here? Now that the child is gone, the absence of a body means that the child should still be alive. Sun Xiao said with a smile.
"Let's see how the village chief died first, could it be that he really stoned himself to death?" Li Lei seems to be more interested in the death of the village chief.
"Don't look at it as a conjoined person, but after all, there are two heads and two minds, and they are not really completely one!" Sun Xiao smiled, "Maybe the one on the right really doesn't look good on the left?" You see that on the right side is a fierce face, probably short-tempered, impulsive! β
"Impossible!" I don't know when, the camel was already standing behind Fang Rui and the others.
"Uncle Camel!" Fang Rui shouted.
"You don't know, how can the village chief say that? They are conjoined, and the younger sister is indeed short-tempered, but she will never kill her sister. They are the closest people in the world! The camel glared at Sun Xiao angrily and argued, probably because he was too angry and wanted to explain, and the slurred speech was gone.
"But... The murder weapon in his right hand is indeed a murder weapon! Sun Xiaoxiao said unwillingly.
"Impossible!"
"It won't be the village chief's sister who did it!"
"It's just that you're not from the village, so you can't talk nonsense!"
Several villagers around heard the camel scolding Sun Xiaoxiao, and came over to help, and they all agreed that the village chief's sister would never kill her sister.
"The village chief... The village chief, they are all for the sake of the village! "They have been one from birth, even if the younger sister has a bad temper, the elder sister is gentle." But they never quarreled with each other, not even for that man! β
"Men? Which man? Fang Rui hurriedly asked.
"It's outside the village, a man who inadvertently got lost in the village on the night of the Midyear Festival. My sister likes him, but my sister doesn't, but even then they never got along. The camel replied.
"It was then, and it's now. Look! Sun Xiaoxiao pointed to the corpse of the village chief and said, "The angle of the wound on the left head is exactly caused by the right hand holding a stone and smashing it!" There are no other defensive wounds on the village chief's body, which means that an acquaintance did it, and who else is more familiar with his sister who is connected with him? What's more convenient to get started? β
"No, no, no! No way! When pigs fly! If you kill your sister, your sister won't be able to survive by herself! Why did she kill herself? The camel still didn't believe it.
"And how do I know?" Sun Xiao spread her hands with a smile, "Or is she also covered by evil ghosts?" β
After Sun Xiao finished laughing, a strange atmosphere enveloped him. Everyone is silent, evil spirits... Does it really exist in this village?
