Chapter Eighty-Six: A New Sacrifice
Chen Muzhi stood in front of Chen Changqing and the angry villagers, and said to them: "You all misunderstood, these two came here because of a problem with the car, and there is no malice!" ”
"No malice? The orchard is the foundation of our village, how can we let people in casually? Chen Changqing didn't believe Chen Muzhi's words at all, raised the shovel in his hand, pointed at Jun Chengzong behind Chen Muzhi, and said.
Let Chen Changqing ask this, Chen Muzhi was also a little at a loss, and glanced back at Jun Chengzong, seeing that it meant to let Jun Chengzong explain what he was doing in the orchard.
Jun Chengzong understood, and hurriedly said to Chen Changqing and them: "We are waiting for Brother Muzhi to repair the car, because we have nothing to do, we have arrived here in idleness, I don't know that people are not allowed to enter here, I'm sorry." ”
Hearing Jun Chengzong say this, Chen Changqing put down the shovel in his hand, but he was still a little skeptical: "Hanging out? Hurry up, this is not the place for you to hang out! ”
Jun Chengzong hurriedly agreed and said that he would leave immediately.
However, Chen Changqing obviously didn't just drive Jun Chengzong away from the orchard: "No, leave immediately after repairing the car, go down the mountain immediately!" ”
Hearing Chen Changqing say this, Chen Muzhi also showed a slightly helpless look on his face.
There was no way, Jun Chengzong could only agree.
Watching Jun Chengzong and Judy leave the orchard, Chen Changqing waved his hand to let the villagers under him disperse.
After Chen Muzhi waited for them to leave, he quietly came to Chen Changqing's side, handed Chen Changqing a cigarette, lit it with a smile, and said, "With the village chief, there should be no problem." ”
Chen Changqing also nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and said to Chen Muzhi: "Fortunately, you kid is clever, otherwise the two of them would have died in our Changqian Village, and we wouldn't have been able to eat and walk around!" ”
After speaking, Chen Changqing picked up the shovel and went down the mountain with Chen Mu.
Jun Chengzong and Judy returned to Chen Mu's house, and sure enough, the car had been completely repaired.
After driving away from Changqian Village, Jun Chengzong slowly parked the car on the side of the road.
Judy looked at Jun Chengzong beside him, shook his head and said, "Is it just like that?" ”
"No," Jun Chengzong turned his head, looked at Judy beside him, and said slowly, "We need to find a way to investigate the scarecrow in the orchard, but we have to find a way to avoid them." ”
As he was talking, a sky blue family car drove in their direction from the road in front of them, passing by Jun Chengzong and their car.
Jun Chengzong saw the car and sighed lightly.
"What's wrong?" Judy looked at the expression on Jun Chengzong's face and couldn't help asking.
Jun Chengzong watched the car drift away, and then turned his head back: "The car from other places, going in the direction of Changqian Village." "Jun Chengzong, the mountain road where they are at this time, there is only one Changqian Village in front of them, if this car is not going to Changqian Village, then I am afraid there is no other explanation.
Judy looked at the car in the rearview mirror that was gradually moving away, and suddenly understood what Jun Chengzong meant.
It's the 24th of every month, and if the missing people are sacrificed to the scarecrow, then the people in the car that just passed by are likely to be the protagonists of the next missing person notice.
"Turn around, let's go back and stop them." Judy looked at the back of the car in the distance, and immediately said to Jun Chengzong beside him.
They are still some distance away from Changqian Village, and if they catch up now, they will definitely be able to stop them before they enter Changqian Village, but as for whether they can stop them, it is difficult to say.
"No, let's go with it quietly and go our separate ways." Jun Chengzong turned around on the mountain road and said.
"What do you mean?"
"Now we don't know what that scarecrow is, you go and protect them secretly, I'll go to other places in the village to inquire, there must be someone who knows something about this scarecrow." Jun Chengzong ignored Judy's objections and quietly followed behind the car.
Jun Chengzong's idea is very simple, if these disappearances are really related to the scarecrow, then the other villagers in the village will definitely not know about it.
However, their current situation is rather special, and they can only carry out operations in Changqian Village in private.
They parked the car in a mountainous area outside Changqian Village, and after hiding, the two quietly returned to Changqian Village, and the two acted separately, Jun Chengzong went to investigate secretly, while Judy quietly followed the car, waiting for an opportunity to protect them.
However, Jun Chengzong and the others have been blacklisted by the head of Changqian Village, how can they know who to go to ask about the scarecrow?
Needless to say, Jun Chengzong had already thought of a suitable helper.
Chen Yangcheng.
After Judy and Jun Chengzong went their separate ways, they found the sky blue car very smoothly, and without much effort, they walked less than two steps to the village, and saw the car parked in the middle of the road, awkwardly motionless.
Familiar scene, isn't it?
The car broke down, and the occupants of the car quickly got out of the car to check what was wrong.
A middle-aged couple got out of the car and looked around, looking around and looking around, it seemed that they didn't know what was wrong with the car and wanted to find someone to help.
Just as Judy was about to step forward to inquire, a familiar figure trotted up, as if it was Chen Muzhi they met when they entered the village.
With the same familiar routine, Chen Muzhi quickly gained the trust of the couple, helped them transport the car away, and invited them to sit at home very warmly.
Seeing this, Judy couldn't help but start to doubt.
At first, she really thought that maybe the matter of the scarecrow in the orchard was only related to the village chief's people who focused on handling the affairs of the orchard, but now it seems that maybe Chen Muzhi is also one of them, but the division of labor is different.
Judy looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already in the west, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it was completely dark.
How can we remind them?
In desperation, Judy had to get closer first, but just when Judy was at a loss, the man suddenly walked out of the house, apparently wanting to smoke a cigarette.
Golden opportunity!
"Sir, what's wrong with your car?" Judy adjusted her state and walked over to the man.
The man obviously didn't expect a blonde and blue-eyed foreign beauty to appear here, and after a pause, he replied, "Ah, it's just that something went wrong, but fortunately there are people in this village who can repair cars." ”
"Can you fix cars?" Judy glanced inside, and then said, "How long will it take?" ”
"For how long?" The man didn't seem to ask the question, but after a moment's thought, he replied, "About an hour or two?" ”
An hour or two?
By that time, it was already dark, and by this time, Judy was almost certain that Chen Muzhi definitely had ulterior motives!
"Actually, I can also repair cars, why don't you let me help you take a look?" Judy paused for a moment and added, "Definitely faster than them, and for free." ”
As soon as Judy said this, the man immediately frowned, and was a little more suspicious of the unconscious in front of him at this time, "No, thank you, I still hope to leave these things to professionals." ”
Just as Judy was about to say something, Chen Muzhi suddenly walked out of the garage.
