Chapter 20: The Cat's Peep
Mr. Jin negotiated with the villagers for a long time, but the villagers were very stubborn and refused to go into the forest.
In the end, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin carried the three corpses out of the forest in batches, and the villagers agreed to help carry the bodies back to the village.
"What are you going to do? Go back to the village or continue to investigate the grave? Teacher Jin asked Xu Tian.
"Let's go back to the village first! The investigation of the dead man's grave is important, but I think it's better to start investigating these three bodies first. Xu Tian said.
"That's right." Teacher Jin walked up to Lao Gao and asked. "What happened to the man who passed out at the intersection?"
"I don't know, I inquired when I went back, the village doctor couldn't cure the man's symptoms, everyone had already given up, but Lao Ma led someone to take the man away." Lao Gao said.
"Why did the old horse take people away?" Teacher Jin asked.
"I heard that there is a doctor in the troupe, and that man is still a member of the troupe." Lao Gao said.
"So that's the case, then let's carry these three corpses directly to the troupe, where is the troupe now?" Teacher Jin asked.
"Of course it's at Lao Ma's house." Lao Gao said.
"During the day, I saw that there seemed to be more than a dozen people in the troupe, can Lao Ma's house stay?" Teacher Jin asked.
"I don't know about this, but it stands to reason that I can't live, but Lao Ma is a warm-hearted person, and I heard that when he was in the ancestral hall during the day, Lao Ma talked about a business with the troupe." Lao Gao said.
"Lao Ma wants the troupe to sing a big show for the old man, right?" Xu Tian walked over and said.
"That's right, but I heard that the troupe was originally invited by Lao Ma to sing for his grandmother, but he didn't decide how long to sing in advance, and Lao Ma temporarily asked the troupe to work overtime, and they had a big fight in the ancestral hall." Lao Gao said.
"By the way, does Lao Ma's grandmother have good legs and feet?" Xu Tian asked.
"Didn't you see it in the ancestral hall during the day? The old lady's legs and feet are okay, and she doesn't need crutches to walk. Lao Gao said.
"That's not right! When we saw the old lady in the woods just now, she was on crutches. Xu Tian said.
When the villagers heard Xu Tian say this, the person carrying the corpse immediately put down the corpse and ran away, and the other people who did not carry the corpse also ran in the direction of the village.
"You...... What do you see? Lao Gao asked tremblingly.
"Lao Ma's grandmother, she caught up with us from this road with a crutch." Teacher Jin said.
"You...... Ask yourselves for many blessings. I'll go first! Lao Gao left the next sentence, pulled his legs and ran away.
The three corpses were left on the path by the villagers, but Xu Tian and Teacher Jin no longer cared about carrying the corpses, anyway, it was not too far from the village, and the two of them could carry the corpses back after a few more hard trips.
"There's a lot of talk about it, why are they so afraid of the old lady?" Xu Tian said.
"Judging by their performance, we're afraid we've met ghosts." Teacher Jin said.
"Teacher Jin believes in this kind of thing?" Xu Tian said.
"If you don't believe it for the time being, I'm a little suspicious of this world, has there been less happening in the past few days?" Teacher Jin said. ”
……
Just as Xu Tian was talking to Teacher Jin, a black shadow in the surrounding woods was peeking at them, and at the feet of the black shadow there was a row of cat footprints.
