I asked Old Man Zheng: "You say, since Gai Dong is going to have an accident in the village, why didn't he stop the ghosts in the warehouse?" ”

Old man Zheng shook his head: "This ...... I can't tell. But listen to Mr. Gai's meaning, because my stupid nephew planted the cause, this effect will appear no matter what, and then I pondered Mr. Gai's words repeatedly, and I felt that what he meant might be that no matter whether he made a move or not, Mrs. Wang would have an accident. ”

In other words, Gai Dong wants to wait for Mrs. Wang's accident before taking action, solve all the problems at once, and finish it in one battle?

At this time, Old Man Zheng said again: "Although Mr. Gai is gone, aren't you here?" ”

When he said this, Old Man Zheng's tone was full of respect.

Seriously, if there was a crack in my feet right now, I would have wanted to get into it right away.

After that, Old Man Zheng asked me again: "Listen to what you mean, dare you and that Mr. Gai are still old acquaintances?" Could it be that he invited you? ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Li Huaishan spoke: "It's not that he invited us here, speaking of which, the two of us came to this village mainly to find someone." ”

Old man Zheng nodded: "Oh, yes, I heard Zhu Gang say that you are guests of the old Hu family." ”

Li Huaishan and I opened their mouths almost at the same time and asked, "Who is Zhu Gang?" ”

Old man Zheng helped me fill up the water, and said: "It's the one who asks for debts, I heard him say it, he was lucky enough to meet Mr. by going to Lao Hu's house to ask for debts, by the way, what do you call it?" ”

I also just learned that the fat man who went to Lao Hu's house last time to ask for debts was called Zhu Gang.

I took the teacup handed over by Old Man Zheng, said "thank you", and said, "My surname is Yan, a single person on the left, and a few on the right." ”

Old man Zheng wrote and drew on the table with his right hand for a short moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "Oh, there is such a word, I really heard of it for the first time." If you hadn't told me to pronounce the word, I might have read it a few times at first sight. ”

I also smiled in return, and then asked Old Man Zheng: "By the way, I have always wanted to ask, why did your nephew seal the door of Mrs. Wang's house?" Hey, where has he been now, I haven't seen him since I just walked through the door. ”

I wanted to say these words a long time ago, but just now Old Man Zheng kept talking non-stop, and I didn't have a chance to speak.

Old man Zheng had just taken a sip of tea, and when he heard my words, he seemed to be greatly surprised, and squirted out all the tea in his mouth with a "poof", followed by a series of violent coughs.

I didn't rush it, I just sat on the side and waited for him to recover.

Old man Zheng coughed for a while, until he couldn't cough anymore, and then he had to speak: "Actually, when he came back, he came to me first, and only after I left...... I just entered the village, but I don't know if he went to Mrs. Wang's house, but when he went back to the house where he used to live. ”

I slowly drank the tea in my cup and deliberately didn't speak.

After that, the old man Zheng hesitated for a while before he continued, as soon as he saw the owner of the shoe store, he was angry, took a rolling pin from the kitchen and whipped it violently, and while beating, he shook out what Gai Dong had told him at the beginning.

Old man Zheng told the shoe shop boss that if Mrs. Wang's corpse turned out tonight and harmed people, every person in the village would die, and half of his life would be counted on the shoe shop owner's head, and he would have to repay this debt sooner or later.

In this way, the owner of the shoe store made a special trip to Mrs. Wang's house to block the door, no wonder he was sneaky when he went, probably because he was afraid that the evil corpse in the house would find out his whereabouts, so he deliberately lowered his voice.

Later, I asked Old Man Zheng why he appeared near Mrs. Wang's house in the early morning.

Old man Zheng's explanation is that he originally wanted to see if the old lady's corpse has changed, but as soon as he arrived at the intersection, he saw the shoe shop boss hiding under the cement stack on the side of the road, which was not far from Mrs. Wang's house.

Old man Zheng admitted frankly that the reason why he brought the sack over was originally to cover the evil corpse, but he didn't expect it to be used on his nephew.

As for where the shoe store boss went, Old Man Zheng also said honestly that he was afraid that I would deliberately ask the shoe store boss to ask for guilt, so he had let the other party go in advance. After that, he pleaded with me and asked me if I could stop making trouble with his nephew, anyway, his nephew had done a crime, and when it was time to repay the debt, he would naturally pay it back, so let me look at his old face, don't worry about it anymore.

I didn't say yes or no, I just silently drank the tea in my cup.

To tell the truth, even if Old Man Zheng doesn't say it, I won't say what the shoe shop owner is, first say that I am not a law enforcement officer, and I have no right to do anything to others, and then say that the shoe shop boss does these things, which one is illegal?

Let's tell the truth, the law really has nothing to do with this kind of person, and the only thing that can punish them is the cause and effect that exists in the dark.

Listening to what Old Man Zheng said so much before and after, I also secretly regretted it in my heart, if I could have found him earlier, the matter in the village would have been solved a long time ago, and it would not have been tossed to this point, not to mention that Li Huaishan and I were injured, and we took a life in vain.

The old man Li who hanged himself on the night of Mrs. Wang's corpse transformation is probably not just a suicide.

Old man Zheng was probably afraid of angering me, and he didn't help his nephew intercede again, and then we talked about it for a while, and seeing that the time was not early, I took Li Huaishan and left the small mountain where Old Man Zheng lived.

After bidding farewell to Old Man Zheng, Li Huaishan and I returned to the old warehouse.

We opened the small dirt bag in the backyard of the storehouse, and it was indeed a fake grave, and there was nothing in it except dirt and dirt.

Back on the second floor of the storeroom, I opened the wooden planks on the wall with my teeth, and sure enough, I found the remains of some animals, presumably belonging to the yellow dog that had been buried in the mezzanine of the wall.

This time when I entered the storeroom, the little thieves who had been boarding here earlier were gone, and even the sheets and pillowcases had been taken away.

Without the bewitchment of ghosts, they should have realized that they would be evil every night in the past few months, but they don't know how these little thieves who managed to save their lives will look at the world in the future.

Forget it, they can do whatever they like, anyway, what kind of attitude they will live in the future has nothing to do with me.

After all, the matter has been settled, and it is not a waste of time for me to think about those things that are there and not.

In the eyes of Li Huaishan and I at that time, the matter in the village was indeed over.

But both of us ignore a crucial question: what exactly is what the fat man sees in the top floor window of the storeroom?

If the little thief I saw with Li Huaishan was caused by a ghost to contract his muscles and retort his joints, did the same situation occur with the person the fat man saw in the window?

If before this little thief, there was a person in the village who was sent to the hospital because of a broken hand and foot, why did the fat man never mention it, Lao Hu never mentioned it, and the old man Zheng never mentioned it, and in the following months, the people in the village claimed that they had only seen a person who had broken his hands and feet and was transported out of the village by a tricycle, and the person they mentioned was the little thief who was rescued by me and Li Huaishan.

And what about the man the fat man saw in the moonlight, and where did he go?

Since Li Huaishan and I didn't want to talk too much about the jerkiness and failure we showed in the whole thing, and even wanted to completely forget the experience of this failure, questions like this were like stones sinking into the sea, and we completely forgot about them.

But sometimes, things that you have overlooked will always resurface at some right or inappropriate time.

It's just that when it appears in front of us again, Li Huaishan is no longer the original Li Huaishan, and if it is not the original Li Huaishan, it is no longer the original Li Huaishan.

Oh, by the way, I also mentioned before that Old Man Zheng went to Putuo Temple to repay his master's vows.

People who have been to Putuo Temple should know that this temple is dedicated to a very effective statue of Guanyin, when the old man Zheng was the master of the old man because of the perennial ghost caused by the incompleteness of yin virtue, it is said that he can not have an heir, he in order to make his own incense continue, he went to Putuo Temple to send the son of Guanyin to petition, and made three great merits, only to get a son.

Originally, the old man Zheng's master was going to go back to Putuo Temple to repay his vows as soon as he got a son, but he didn't expect that after his son was born, he had a stroke, and this matter was put on hold, until the time limit was approaching, he entrusted this matter to Old Man Zheng, and Old Man Zheng was also a filial apprentice, and obediently went to Putuo Temple to make fragrant food for more than a year, and finally helped the master return his wish.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that Old Man Zheng had been gone for more than a year, his good nephew probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to do so many bad things.

It's a pity that history can't be assumed, and what happened has always happened. If you want to sigh, although you can sigh, anyway, people live in the world, sometimes after all, you have to pay attention to the word "time" and the word "luck", and what you can do is only do your best and obey the destiny of heaven, there is no other way.

Hey, anyway, I want to say one sentence the most: this matter is finally over.

And in this incident, Li Huaishan and I basically did our best, no matter whether we failed or not, jerky or not, anyway, we have to continue to live the next days, and we have to continue to walk on the next road.

The only thing we learned from this incident was that we knew how many dishes we had.

If I'm not mistaken, after Li Huaishan and I left the warehouse that night, we wandered on the village road for a while, and it was already more than one o'clock in the morning when we returned to Lao Hu's house. ”

Li Huaishan and I glanced at each other, and then smiled awkwardly at Lao Hu.

Lao Hu softly pushed the door out, closed the door lightly, and said to me and Li Huaishan: "Keep food for you, I'll give you hot food." ”

Seriously, Lao Hu's stove is more complicated to operate, Li Huaishan and I really can't deal with it, if he doesn't give us hot rice, then we can only eat cold.

I smiled at Lao Hu gratefully, and Li Huaishan also scratched his head and gave Lao Hu a very grateful look.

Seeing our appearance, Lao Hu was stunned for a moment, and then a very shy smile appeared on his face.
