Chapter 7: Who Should I Believe?
Because, the person we worked so hard to drag up is actually the leader of the group.
"Why is the group leader in the well?"
Situ Xiaozhu and I asked the same question.
Then, the group leader's closed eyes suddenly opened suddenly.
"Wori!"
This almost scared me to pee, although I couldn't help but shout, but my hand had been released, and then I saw Situ Xiaozhu next to me, who was also wide-eyed and wide-mouthed.
She seemed to be scared silly at this moment, and then, her eyes moved, I knew that she was going to shout and reached out to cover her mouth, and the whining sound came from my palm, Situ Xiaozhu's body began to tremble violently, obviously, this time the fright was a little big.
And the group leader at the wellhead disappeared again.
"Did you fall again?"
I muttered, and then I saw a few fingers clasped tightly on the edge of the well, fortunately, he didn't fall, and then, a hand reached out and grabbed the edge of the well, and then, the head of the group leader was exposed again.
"Ge Laozi, heavy on color and light on friends, I want to kill Lao Tzu."
He muttered something to me, and slowly crawled out of the well.
"Ge Laozi" is a dialect that the group leader likes to say when he is emotional, and when I hear this sentence again, I immediately feel a lot more cordial.
Seeing him crawl out, I quickly spoke.
"You ......"
I had too many questions in my mind to ask him, because it had been such a strange thing that night, and the one-eyed old man had just said that the leader of the group was the one who could take me out of here.
However, the group leader immediately interrupted me and said.
"Bring your stuff, let's go to the room and say."
He looked left and right, as if he was worried about someone watching us, and then he was the first to walk quickly towards the courtyard.
I hurriedly brought my things, and Situ Xiaozhu followed me closely.
When I arrived at the courtyard, the group leader did not enter the main house, but quickly entered the east wing, that is, the room where all kinds of miscellaneous items were placed, I was a little puzzled, but I still followed with Situ Xiaozhu.
"Group leader, weren't you there with that one just now, that 'Sichun Sifu'? Why did you suddenly run into the well? ”
"Sichun Sifu" is Sisi's screen name in the game, and now you can't say the other party's name, so you can only use the screen name instead, of course, people who are very familiar with her will generally call her abbreviated "Sichun".
As a result, the group leader sighed and said.
"It's all touching...... Touch that trouble. ”
Seeing Situ Xiaozhu by his side, he didn't say the word "chest", followed and continued.
"It's this year, I won't hide it from you, I sent a private message to deceive the two of you to come to this village out of my selfishness, I heard about the customs here from a certain channel, so I want to take the opportunity to do that, you know, but, I didn't expect that although this custom can protect women from being attacked by ghosts, it is at the expense of men."
"So, I was later ghosted, became a substitute ghost for 'Sichun', and fell into the well inexplicably."
"But you, how did you know I was in the well?"
When he asked, Situ Xiaozhu also turned his head to look at me.
I had to tell the truth.
"It's a one-eyed old man, he told me, and besides, he said, you can take us out of here."
Actually, now I'm also puzzled, why the one-eyed old man would say that, at first, I thought that he asked me to salvage a peerless master, just like Yan Chixia in "A Chinese Ghost Story", after being rescued, a flying sword killed the Quartet, and then took us all away.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all.
As a result, the group leader said with a smile.
"It's that old man, that's right, at the end of the bonfire, he once quietly looked for me, gave me a thing, and told me how to use such a thing to leave the village, but unfortunately, at that time, I already had a few women with 'Sichun', it should be because of this reason, that's why he asked you to go to the well to fish me."
After listening to him, I quickly spoke.
"Then take us away."
As a result, the group leader shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, it's not that simple, the secret of heaven can't be revealed, now is not the time to leave, next, I'll hide in the east wing, you must not tell others."
"Rest assured, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and we have to walk together."
I nodded, and then motioned for Situ Xiaozhu to follow me.
Returned to the main house and before I could speak, Situ Xiaozhu looked at it first and said.
"That...... Why would you want to leave alone? ”
Looks like she's seen something.
Situ Xiaozhu just saved my life, so I didn't want to hide it from her, so I looked into her eyes and said.
"Why is the power bank in your bag? Also, you didn't let me open your bag before, was it because you hid a power bank inside? ”
Hearing my words, Situ Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, her expression was very surprised, and she said.
"I didn't take the power bank, I lost my power bank, I won't let you open my bag, it's because ...... Because...... There was unwashed underwear in it......"
I nodded, and it seemed that I was wrong to blame Situ Xiaozhu.
And Situ Xiaozhu quickly walked to the side of the bed and opened her package, the power bank was still lying quietly in her package, and I also thought of her underwear, pink, very cute.
"That...... I ......"
Situ Xiaozhu said anxiously.
I interrupted her, though.
"I know, it's me who is not good, I misunderstood you, someone should have done something in advance."
Situ Xiaozhu said with a sigh of relief.
"The bag was filled with water before, and I don't know how it became a power bank."
took the water, so that I had to drink the "epiphany wine" in the village, and at the same time, I also achieved the purpose of framing Situ Xiaozhu, which really killed two birds with one stone.
"It shouldn't be the group leader who stole these power banks, could it be Sisi?"
Situ Xiaozhu looked at me and said.
I shook my head and said.
"Actually, the group owner also has a problem, he just said that he sent a private message to me, in fact, the person who really contacted me was you, he didn't give me a private message, although I don't know why he said this, but, his words can't be fully trusted."
After saying that, I told Situ Xiaozhu what happened when I left here, including my previous suspicions about her, and then I looked at her and said.
"How did you know I was in the well? Did you come here because you heard me knocking on the wall of the well? ”
As a result, Situ Xiaozhu gave me an unusual answer.
"No, I was looking for you everywhere, and then I saw a person in the backyard, it should be an old man, I saw him at the mouth of the well and didn't know what he was messing with, and then he left, so I had the courage to come and have a look, because I was afraid that something would happen to you, and as a result, you were really in the well."
My head buzzed when she finished speaking, and sure enough, it was the one-eyed old man who was hurting me.
When I was in the well, I was guessing who dropped the rope, and at that time I ruled out that the one-eyed old man thought that Situ Xiaozhu did it, and now it seems that it is really him.
"Do you see how many eyes he has?"
Out of an abundance of caution, I asked again.
As a result, Situ Xiaozhu shook his head and said.
"The light is not good, I can't see clearly, but although the person is bent over, I feel that he should not be tall, wearing a white dress, and I can't tell the difference between men and women."
Wait, white clothes, the one-eyed old man I saw was supposed to be gray.
Isn't it a person?
So, I checked with Situ Xiaozhu again, and she was very sure that it was white clothes.
This made me completely confused, who the hell untied the rope? Should the one-eyed man believe it or not? Also, I broke the taboo and went down to the well, and it seems that until now, I am fine, is it because the hour has not come? Or is loosening the rope a consequence of breaking the taboo, or is Biluo really not credible?
I feel like my head is crumbling with the chaos.
No, I'll have to go to the old man and ask, what the hell is going on?
So, I thought about it and said to Situ Xiaozhu.
"'Xiaoxiao Fengzhu' try the power bank, is there anything you can use? Then come with me, and I'll have to find out who the unrope is. ”
"Xiaoxiao Fengzhu" is Situ Xiaozhu's name in the game, and now he can't call his real name, so he can only use the name in the game instead.
Soon, Situ Xiaozhu shook his head.
Seeing Situ Xiaozhu shaking his head, I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Situ Xiaozhu's suspicion has been completely cleared, if it is really Situ Xiaozhu who wants to do something, what is she doing with these useless power banks? In order for me to find out? Isn't it easier to lose all of them on the mountain?
So, this is definitely someone framing him.
After that, the two of us slipped out quietly without extinguishing the candle and walked towards the one-eyed old man's house.
We had been walking around the village for most of the day, so I had an impression of the man with three mulberry trees at the east gate of the village, so we soon arrived at the gate.
The village is closed at night, which means that there is no door lock for each house, so I gently pushed open the door and walked in, and as a result, I saw a gruesome scene.
