Chapter 9: Nightfall
After the meal, Li Su cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and stopped disturbing everyone. Back in the house, everyone started the discussion again. Fan Huan: "At the end of the day, we have almost seen the village. I think it's likely that the body is still in the bamboo forest. "I have an idea." Tang Shiyu suddenly spoke. "Oh? Let's hear it. Lu Qingqing showed an encouraging look.
"Do you think the corpse will be in Xiaoqing River? I took a look on the boat today and the water in the middle of the river is really deep and the water quality is not too good. What if they stoned the corpses and threw them into the river? I've heard from the villagers that many people have drowned in this river before, so everyone is not going down easily now. If you are worried that the body will be found after the killing, then you will definitely choose to hide the body away from the development. The government project is to build roads to alleviate poverty, so there should be no corpses hidden in the village and at home. ”
After listening to Tang Shiyu's words, everyone's faces were a little ugly. After all, the water in the village comes from that river, and the water used to eat and drink until now is soaked in corpses...... Tang Shiyu saw everyone's reaction, and said in a panic: "Don't worry too much, I, I'm just talking casually." ”
After listening to her words, Hang Guang shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, your analysis also makes sense!" Li Wenqiao agreed: "Yes, we only consider the bamboo forest, but we forget that there is a great possibility of hiding corpses in the river." You're good, you're very observant! After being affirmed by others, Tang Shiyu's face was slightly red.
Lu Qing disagreed: "Now the bamboo forest is the place where we focus on searching. The scope of the Xiaoqing River is too large, although Shiyu's idea is good, but I don't think it is possible to hide a corpse in the river. After all, time is limited, and the scope of Xiaoqing River is too wide. It is absolutely impossible to find the body in five days. Today is the second day, and we still have three days to go. I hate to say that, but for now we can only search at night! If you enter the bamboo forest again during the day, it is really eye-catching, and you will definitely be suspected by others. The rest of the team turned pale, and everyone understood what the night meant, but they had to pull themselves together in order to get out alive.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Qian Weiguo dragged his tired body back to the house, and after saying hello to everyone, he hurried back to the house. More than an hour later, the lights in the duo's house were also turned off.
After hearing Qian Weiguo's snoring from inside the house, Lu Qing beckoned everyone to start acting.
The other villagers had already rested early, and the whole village was now covered by darkness and darkness. A few small boats by the river are quietly docked on the shore, and the Xiaoqing River in the dark night is as calm as if asleep, and the bright moonlight is reflected on the water, which also adds a beautiful atmosphere.
But Lu Qing and the others had no intention of appreciating the scenery in front of them, and according to the group, they got on the boat and began to row to the opposite shore. After the boat docked on the shore, everyone took out their flashlights and shone them into the dark bamboo forest in front of them.
The bamboo forest already looks eerie during the day, let alone at night. Tang Shiyu and Wei Mian faced such a scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a little weak. Wei Mian hugged his wife and comforted her: "It's okay, don't worry!" I'm right there with you. Although he was scared, he tried to appear calm in front of his wife.
According to the formation of the day, everyone advanced to the depths of the bamboo forest. Because Lu Qing learned the lesson of the first mission, he asked everyone to hold hands with each other to move forward, so as to ensure that the people around him were not replaced. Although they felt a little awkward, for the sake of their lives, Fan Huan and Hang Guang still held each other. Along the way, everyone kept looking around with flashlights, hoping to find some clues.
The picture shifts to Liu Si's house. Witnessing Wang Tiezhu's terrifying death during the day, Liu Si was always a little uncomfortable in his heart. In fact, he didn't tell the village chief, not only did Wang Tiezhu know that Miao Yuxue was dead, he also knew.
Last night, Wang Tiezhu suddenly said that he wanted to invite himself to drink, and Wang Tiezhu, who had drunk too much, told the village chief's bride about the suicide, and proudly threatened to use this as a handle to blackmail the village chief for the rest of his life. Originally, Liu Si also wanted to participate, but he was timid and afraid of being retaliated against by the village chief, after all, his father was also a village cadre, and he also received a lot of benefits from the village chief.
Could it be that Wang Tiezhu was killed by the village chief? But Liu Si thought about it, it shouldn't be possible.
The village chief is old, although Wang Tiezhu is idle, but he is in the prime of life, and the two of them are facing each other, and the village chief must have been subdued in three or two. Who killed Wang Tiezhu? And how many deep hatreds are there to make his body like that? Could it be that the dead bride has come back for revenge?
Thinking of this, Liu Si couldn't help but feel excited. The dark room was silent at this time, and a few cicadas could occasionally be heard outside the window. Liu Si shrunk into the quilt with some fear, hypnotizing himself, hoping to fall asleep quickly.
Sometimes the more people want to sleep, the more they can't sleep. This is the case with Liu Si now, not only that, but he also feels that he still has a urge to urinate, which is getting stronger and stronger......
He ran to the toilet outside, and his thatched latrine was a separate thatched hut built at the back of the house, and the ventilation around it was relatively simple. After solving his physiological needs, a gust of wind blew him goosebumps. Leaving the hut, he walked about ten steps to the back door, he opened the door, and suddenly saw a vague person sitting on a chair in the dark living room.
"Who? Who's pretending to be a ghost there? Liu Si was startled and shouted at the figure. But the man in the chair remained motionless, as if he had not heard him. Liu Si plucked up his courage and took out a lighter from his trouser pocket. By the faint light of the fire, he saw that it was his father Liu Dali sitting in the chair. Daddy was looking at himself calmly and didn't speak.
"Dad, who are you scaring if you don't sleep at night and run here?" After Liu Si saw his father, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and patted his father on the shoulder: "You go back early......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Dali fell down heavily. "Daddy? What's wrong with you! Liu Si panicked to help him, but felt that he had touched a soft object in his hand. He trembled and lit it with a lighter, and was so frightened that he almost fainted.
It turned out that Liu Dali didn't know what he had hollowed out, and it looked normal from the front, but there was a hideous cut on the back, from the back of his head to the tail vertebrae. The flesh and fat entrails inside were gone, and only a spine was left to support his shell.
"Murder!" Liu Si crawled up from the ground and ran out of the house with a ghost. He pushed open the door, but saw that his mother was hanging from a tree at the door with a intestine, and had been dead for a long time. That intestine should be Liu Dali's body. Not only that, but her eyes and nose had been ripped out, and blood was running down her face.
Liu Si couldn't help the terrifying scene in front of him anymore, and sat on the ground in fright. And the female corpse, which had already died, suddenly moved, she grabbed the intestines that strangled her neck, and kicked her legs desperately, like a dying person.
Something even more terrifying happened: the female corpse's face slowly changed, and it looked somewhat familiar...... Miao Yuxue! Isn't this the dead daughter-in-law of the village chief's family? "Hell!" Liu Si's tears and snot were mixed together, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "Please spare me, I know it's wrong!" You have already killed my father and mother, you adults don't care about villains, spare my dog's life! He kowtowed desperately as if he was obsessed, and the flesh and blood on his head were already blurred, but he didn't seem to notice the pain, and continued to repeat an action.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock" Liu Si slammed to the ground with every blow, and his head was bleeding all over the ground with the impact. If you listen closely, you will hear the subtle sound of bones shattering...... Boom, his head was already halfway inside, and the hard skull was shattered alive by himself. Blood and brains flowed all over the ground. Liu Si finally ran out of breath and fell in a pool of blood.
