Chapter III: Separation

"I saw that the man was panicking, and I thought something terrible had happened in the village, but it seemed that I was too careful."

Xiao Mo glanced at the village chief with deep meaning when he said this, which also made the village chief laugh unnaturally:

"Hehe, our people here are different from you city people, we don't have so much ink in our stomachs, and we like to make a fuss about everything."

Xiao Mo nodded in understanding on the surface, but in his heart, he was even more suspicious of the village chief, and said in his heart that something strange had really happened in this small wilderness village, maybe...... Someone has already been killed!

The people who have such doubts are not only Xiao Mo himself, Li Shuai and they are also thinking about this, originally thought that Li Shuai's straight nature must have asked at this time, but seeing that Xiao Mo shook his head quietly, he didn't care to ask more.

Seeing that Xiao Mo and the others no longer continued to ask, the village chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he resumed his usual routine and enthusiastically told them about the origin of the Wilderness Village and some folk customs.

After all, they have to live here for half a month, so it's not a bad thing to learn more about local folklore.

According to the village chief, this wilderness village is just a corner of the surrounding deserted villages, and there are five poor villages that are not even as good as the village, which is called the six villages of the barren mountains along with the wilderness village.

is also about electricity and no electricity, and it can be said that he has been living an isolated life.

Hearing the village chief say this, the monk couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Doesn't ZF care?"

"This ......" the village chief hesitated slightly:

"There's nothing that can't be said about that, more than a decade ago. ZF sent someone to take a look. But because the environment on our side is really bad, the road is either a cliff that crashes a car, or a giant who can overturn a car. Again. We don't have so many people who want minerals, we don't have so many people, so we don't think it's worth investing a lot of money to rebuild here.

Then they came up with a suggestion for us to move into the town, saying that we didn't need to move into the town safely, but that we had to be as close as possible. ”

Speaking of this, the village chief smiled sarcastically:

"We've lived here for generations. I've long been accustomed to the way of life here, and it's so easy to move. So as soon as the people in the village discussed it, they all angrily rejected the proposal.

You'll know the rest of the story. The town never asked about this place again, as if they had forgotten about our six villages in the barren mountains. I don't know if I'm afraid that our poor villages will drag down the economic development of the town. ”

After listening to the village chief's story, everyone was more or less interested in this wilderness village. and several surrounding villages have some sympathy. But this is limited to sympathy. Even if they want to, they don't have that qualification, not to mention that even they can't protect themselves.

Because no one had been drinking, the meal didn't take a long time. The village chief asked his sons to clean up the table, and he himself led the people out of the courtyard.

"I've already arranged for you where you live. But because there are not many places to live, you have to live separately. ”

Hearing the village chief say that he wanted to separate them, Xiao Mo's eyebrows were raised, and he said tentatively:

"Can't you find a way to make room for us?"

The village chief shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"It's a habit on our side, and it's taboo for anyone to lend their house to someone else to live in. Just bear with me. ”

The prompt asks them to obey the village chief's allocation of housing, so they complain even if they have a complaint in their hearts. I don't want to separate, but I can only say yes now.

Following the village chief all the way into the village, Xiao Mo and they attracted the attention of many villagers on the road, and whenever they passed by, they would more or less hear the voices of some villagers.

"I heard that these people are from the city, and they came to us to have a look, and they may electrify our village later."

"Don't be naΓ―ve, if you could have been electrified, it would have been connected a long time ago, how could it have been delayed until now?"

"And what do you think they're here for?"

"What the hell! Don't you knowingly ask, don't you know what's going on in the village lately? ”

"Is it ......?"

"Be quiet, the village chief has reminded them that this matter must be kept secret, this is an internal matter of our village."

"And where did these people hear about it?"

"You ask me, I ask who is going to ......"

Li Shuai and the ungood monk had amazing hearing, so they could hear the discussion of the two villagers behind them clearly, and their faces also showed different doubts, speculating in their hearts about what was going on in the village.

After walking for about ten minutes, the village chief stopped in front of a mud house, and then shouted in his voice:

"Zhao Lao is crooked!"

After a while, a man with a bad face walked out lazily, and when he saw the crowd standing outside the door, he immediately sobered up a lot. At this time, the village chief spoke:

"These are the delegation sent by the city, responsible for electrifying our village. I've already told you before, don't give me nonsense! ”

The village chief's last sentence was full of threats, and Zhao Lao tilted his body and nodded his head in agreement, he had sinned against the village chief before:

"Don't worry, village chief, I will definitely entertain you."

When Zhao Lao said this, his eyes stared at Wen Qiayun without blinking, and that WS appearance also made Wen Qiayun angry, but because the village chief was here, she didn't have a seizure.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo opened his mouth at this time and said:

"How many people can you live here?"

"Two." Xiao Mo's words attracted Zhao Lao's attention.

"That's good."

Xiao Mo nodded and asked Li Shuai:

"Let's just stay here."

"I'm okay with that." Li Shuai did not refuse, and smiled twice at Zhao Lao's crooked meaning.

After taking the lead in determining the two places, everyone followed the village chief to the next family again, and Li Shuai and Xiao Mo followed together for the time being because they wanted to know everyone's address.

After a while, they came to a house with a large yard.

The door of this house was half open, and when everyone looked through the door, they saw a figure busy in the courtyard, this person they had all seen before, it was the woman who wanted to pour Xiao Mo's wine at the dinner table at that time.

"Li Cui'er, I'll bring someone over."

Widow Li was watering the vegetables in the yard, and when she heard the village chief's words, she stopped and turned her head to look. When she saw the crowd outside the door, her face changed slightly, but she soon regained her normal and walked quickly.

Seeing Widow Li coming, the village chief went straight to the point and said:

"I told you before, arrange for two guests to stay with you for a few days."

"I'm ...... here" Widow Li's face was embarrassed, it seemed that she didn't want outsiders to live in her house, seeing Widow Li showing this look, he asked coldly:

"What? Isn't it embarrassing! ”

Widow Li saw the fierce face of the village chief, she finally bit her lip and agreed, and everyone saw this qiΔ“ in their eyes, but no one spoke.

Seeing that Widow Li agreed, Xiao Mo said to Wen Qiayun and the little follower:

"It's okay for you two to live here, right?"

"Nope." Wen Qiayun and the little follower shook their heads together.

Widow Li held the hand of the watering can, which turned white from too much force.

At the same time, in a wooded area south of the village of Harano Village.

"Who else knows about this but you?"

Xu Laohan asked the man beside him who had a pair of cross-eyed eyes.

Cross-eyed shook his head and replied breathlessly:

"Just, I'm the only one who knows. I was ...... I was really frightened, I didn't expect it...... The six sons of the dog were also killed. ”

Xu Laohan's face was also cloudy, the day before yesterday was a shoehorn, yesterday it was a big long face, today it was a dog six sons, and three people died in the village for three days in a row. And the deaths of all three of them were horrifying, and it was difficult for him to connect the perverted murderer with the people of the village.

However, there have been no outsiders in the village these days, so who else would the murderer be if he wasn't from the village?

"Don't talk about this to anyone, if someone asks where the dog is gone, you say he's in town."

Cross-eyed and his body were cold, and he asked uncertainly:

"Don't you ......have a big face and a shoehorn?"

"The two of them did go to town." Xu Laohan dispelled his cross-eyed concerns, and then said slowly:

"This matter must be kept secret, if the people of the inspection group know, it is inevitable that they will be stabbed above, then I am afraid that the village will not be peaceful, and maybe we will be forcibly ordered to move."

Xu Laohan handed over the set given to him by the village chief and said it to the cross-eyed again.

"Okay, while there is no one nearby, we will quickly take him away and bury him."

Xu Laohan pointed to a few white bones under the tree and a piece of dried skin attached to the tree and said. (To be continued......)
