"Aunt Hua, who gave you this red coat?" Xu Tian hurriedly asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Red Red ...... Honghong came out to me just now. Hua Gu pointed in the direction of the broadcast studio.
When the villagers heard Hua Gu's description, they were all so frightened that they fled in all directions, only Huang Quan and Huang Wupo did not leave, and there was also a kind old man, this person was Xu Sanye.
Huang Wupo knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky and begged, no matter how Huang Quan and Xu Sanye pulled, Huang Wupo didn't get up.
Xu Sanye has always been very calm, Xu Tian felt that this Xu Sanye must know something.
"Officer Zhang, have you noticed? Xu Sanye's expression was too unnatural, even the old village chief was very scared just now, and this Xu Sanye was still holding back a smile on the side. ”
"This old man has this character, a well-known good man, I heard that when he forced Yuhong to leave the village, this Xu Sanye didn't say much, just followed others."
"You'd better follow Xu Sanye tonight, I have to go back to guard the spirit, who Xu Sanye has been in contact with tonight, you must tell me."
When Xu Tian returned to the second master's house, only his grandmother was still in the courtyard, the second master's coffin was placed in the middle of the courtyard, Xu Tian knelt in front of the coffin with his back to the courtyard gate, although the courtyard was full of lights, but Xu Tian still felt that there was an eerie aura surrounding him.
Grandma walked up to Xu Tian and placed a paper-burning brazier in front of Xu Tian.
"Worship the second master more, and you won't be afraid."
"Grandma, can you talk to me?"
"Don't participate in the affairs that shouldn't be in your hands, you will go back to the city tomorrow morning, I will ask Huangquan to send you to the town, and you should be in the county later, and it will be safe to enter the city."
"I'm safe in the village, no one will do anything to me, grandma, do you still want to keep the secret of the past? There are already dead people in the village, and if I don't find the murderer, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life. ”
"Everything has its own providence, and this is not the place you should stay." After Grandma finished speaking, she got up and prepared to go back to the house.
"Grandma, did you leave the lights on all night last night?" Xu Tian shouted towards his grandmother's back.
Grandma turned around and was about to speak, when Xu Tian suddenly felt Grandma's eyes glance behind him, and Grandma's expression instantly became frightened.
Xu Tian hurriedly turned around and found that a woman in a bright red robe was standing at the gate of the courtyard of the second master's house, under the light of the white lantern at the gate of the courtyard, the woman's face was very pale, the corners of her eyes seemed to be bleeding, and a drop of blood and tears crossed her pale cheeks, like a female ghost.
"Who?"
Xu Tian was just about to get up, but his grandmother grabbed Xu Tian.
By the time Xu Tian broke free from his grandmother and chased him out, the woman had already disappeared.
"Grandma, why are you stopping me?"
"She's back, you can't stop it, it's been twenty-eight years, the wicked will always pay their debts, let her go......"
All night, Xu Tian knelt in front of the second master's coffin, and his grandmother rested in the second master's house, in fact, Xu Tian knew that the reason why his grandmother didn't go home was to accompany him here.
When it was close to dawn, Xu Tian's whole body was invaded by tiredness, and he almost fell asleep several times, at this time Xu Tian looked at his mobile phone, it was already half past four in the morning.
Xu Tian thought about it and it would be over after holding on for another hour and a half, this damn spirit keeping rule was really terrible, and now Xu Tian's two legs were numb.
At this moment, Xu Tian suddenly thought of the two cups of coffee that Huang Quan had sent last night, Xu Tian remembered that he seemed to have put it on the coffin when he ran out, but the coffee was gone.
Xu Tian thought that it might have been taken away by the villagers in the yard after running out yesterday, or accidentally knocked down by the villagers who followed him out, and the broken quilt was probably put away by his grandmother.
The night was washed away by dawn little by little, the sky gradually revealed its blue color, and finally it was time for the second master to go out of the funeral, grandma came out early in the morning, and the villagers also came to the second master's house one after another to help.
Every villager was very nervous, the villagers who carried the coffin couldn't wait to finish the work, and the grandmother didn't chatter, and when she saw that the people were almost there, she began to prepare the coffin.
The old people in the village also followed, and Officer Zhang also came to Xu Tian's side.
The old village chief searched everywhere, because Xu Sanye had not yet come, as the cousin of the deceased, Xu Sanye had to attend this funeral.
"What the hell is that guy Xu Laosan doing? Not here so late? The old village chief said loudly to the door.
"Forget it, leave him alone, let's go first, we have to go into the ground today." Grandma said.
Along the way, Xu Tian and Officer Zhang followed behind the funeral procession, and Xu Tian had been looking for an opportunity to ask about the task given to Officer Zhang last night, and finally the two had a chance to talk after leaving the village.
"How? What did Xu Sanye do last night? Xu Tian asked.
"You really guessed right, I have been following Xu Sanye, after leaving the village committee, he did go home, I was afraid of the situation, so I squatted at the door of Xu Sanye's house, and in the second half of the night, Xu Sanye really walked out of the house, you can't guess where he went."
"It must be in the middle of nowhere, right? Did you see anyone? ”
"It's right to be remote, but no one went to meet Xu Sanye, Xu Sanye walked to the entrance of the mountain forest and turned back, and I was almost bumped into by him."
"Mountains and forests? Could it be that Xu Sanye wants to go up the mountain? ”
"I don't know, there was nothing to cover the mountain road at that time, so I quickly withdrew to the village, by the way, I also met the old village chief on the way."
"The old village chief? The old village chief is still walking on the mountain road in the middle of the night? ”
"It's not a mountain road, it's a small store at the entrance of the village, and Xiao Ai is also with me, and I also said hello to the old village chief."
"You didn't say that I asked you to follow Xu Sanye, right?"
"Of course I didn't say it, and I'm not stupid, but the old village chief didn't ask either."
"What are the old village chief and Xiao Ai doing in the shop?"
"I asked about this, and the old village chief said to send Xiao Ai home."
"Strange, was Xiao Ai in the village yesterday? I haven't seen Xiao Ai all the time. ”
"I don't know, I went back to the village later, and the old village chief arranged for me to live in the village committee, and I didn't sleep well this night."
"Did you see anyone in the village council?"
"The night was peaceful, who do you mean?"
Xu Tiangang was about to explain the woman he saw yesterday, but he heard a banging in front of him, and the coffin of the second master was thrown to the ground by four coffin bearers.
There is a small bridge in front of him, and it is also the only path to the mountain road, Xu Tian and Officer Zhang hurriedly ran forward, only to see a person with a rope tied around his waist lying on the small bridge, from the way he was dressed, he could recognize it at a glance, it was Xu Sanye.
The old village chief had already run forward and tried Xu Sanye's snort, but he was already out of breath.
