When the two of them heard my question, they looked at each other and said, "It's burned!" ”

"Burned?" I exclaimed and asked, "Why?" ”

"The Xu family said that this was unlucky, and a fire burned at that time!" The villager said.

This made my face sink, and I couldn't say anything, so when Huang Jinshan saw that my face was wrong, he asked me: "Chuanzi, did you find something?" ”

I lowered my voice and said, "Isn't it strange that the statue was burned, and now someone is being burned to death?" ”

As I spoke, I told me about the statue in the coffin.

The golden goodness should also feel that this is not normal, so he asked me, "What should I do then?" ”

I shook my head, said I didn't know, looked at the villager again, and asked him, "Do you remember what the statue was carved from?" ”

He thought for a moment and said, "It's wood, and there's a faint fragrance." ”

Scented wood?

I thought about it a little, as far as the wood currently in the world is concerned, the number of wood with aroma is very small, roughly sandalwood, this wood has a mellow aroma and has a long history, and the camphor tree also has a fragrance, however, this aroma is relatively strong, and when you smell it carefully, it is quite pungent.

It is also Nanmu, which has an elegant fragrance, and there is also an agarwood, which is not common and should not appear here. The last one is fragrant wood, its scientific name is honey fragrant tree, this kind of wood itself has no aroma, but the sap has a fragrance, and most of the perfumes on the market are extracted from this wood.

I told you about the aroma characteristics of these woods.

The villager thought about it for a moment and said, "It should be sandalwood." ”

I hummed and asked him again, "When was the statue burned?" ”

Without thinking about it, he said, "It was like five or six days ago." ”

After knowing this news, I counted a little bit in my heart, and I didn't ask any more, so I thanked the villager, and planned to check the corpse, but at this time, Qin Laosan came back with two panda eyes, I asked him if it was smashed, and he said, he was beaten.

I was stunned, and immediately understood, I guessed that he had said the previous words to the fourth child of the Xu family, and the fourth child of the Xu family was the only enlightened person in the Xu family.

Thinking about this, I couldn't hold back the smile in my heart and asked him, "What, did you find out?" ”

He glared at me and said, "Chuanzi, I'll settle accounts with you later." ”

"Alright, let's get down to business!" I urged him.

He said: "I inquired, the second child of the Xu family went out early this morning and has not come back yet." However, the fourth child of the Xu family said that the second child went to the town to buy things. ”

"Buying something?" I muttered, "Did you ask him when he would be back?" ”

He said: "I asked, the fourth child of the Xu family said that this point should be back, but I haven't seen anyone." ”

I chuckled in my heart, depending on the situation, this corpse is the second child of the Xu family, but I can't say it. After all, this is just speculation, if it is not the second child of the Xu family, if I say it, isn't it looking for scolding, you must know that the most taboo scolding in our countryside is dead.

At that moment, I couldn't bear the doubts in my heart, so I followed Huang Jinshan to check the corpse roughly, but unfortunately, the corpse had been burned to black charcoal, and I couldn't see anything at all, not even whether it was a man or a woman.

In desperation, a few of us had to give up this idea and stayed on the side for a long time.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon, the Xu family finally came, the person who came was the pair of old people of the Xu family, and the two elders told us with a smile on their faces, saying that the eldest son of his family went to the dragon lord on an errand, and the second son returned to the arms of the god of fire again, and beckoned us to go to his house for dinner in the evening to celebrate.

For this statement, the three of us are speechless, these two elders are poisoned by superstition is not shallow, I originally wanted to say a few words, but Huang Jinshan said, everyone's beliefs are different.

Hearing him say this, I had to give up this idea, and without saying anything more, I followed Huang Jinshan to his house.

Because the Xu family was doing a funeral, their family looked messy, and here, I met the fourth child of the Xu family. To be honest, I always thought that the fourth child of the Xu family was a man, who would have thought that when I arrived at the Xu family, I found that the fourth child of the Xu family was actually a woman about thirty years old.

She has a good face, an even figure, short ear-length hair, and the whole person looks quite eye-catching, just such a woman, it is hard for me to imagine that she is not married at the age of thirty, and in our countryside, if the average woman does not go to school, she will marry at sixteen or seventeen, and she will not exceed 24 years old at the latest, once this age is passed, there will be a lot of gossip in the village.

To put it bluntly, it will be said that the woman is indecent, or that the woman has a problem, and in the end, this kind of woman who has passed the age can only have three results, one is to die alone in this life, the second is to marry an improper man, and the third is to marry another province.

Therefore, when I saw the fourth child of the Xu family, I couldn't help but stare at her for a long time.

The fourth child of the Xu family saw me staring at her, and she didn't speak, but her eyes kept staring at me, and she didn't know if it was my delusion, or what's going on, her eyes staring at me, I always felt a weirdness, like relief, and like suspicion.

This made me even more suspicious, and because of the large number of people, I didn't ask, so I stayed at her house with Huang Jinshan.

After sitting for about seven or eight minutes, the fourth child of the Xu family said that he was busy, poured us a glass of water, and left.

After she left, I immediately said to Huang Jinshan, "If I guess correctly, I'm afraid that there will be two more deaths in this Xu family, and the remaining two are likely to be two of the six brothers and sisters of the Xu family." ”

As soon as these words came out, the golden good's face changed dramatically, and he asked me, "Why do you say that?" ”

I said: "The Five Elements have killed people, and now three people have died, namely wood, water, and fire, and the remaining two are definitely dead from gold and earth, and the Xu family has six brothers, and the one who is alive is definitely the initiator of the whole thing." ”

As soon as the words fell, the golden son seemed to be a little unconvinced, and said that I was too arbitrary, and I said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the pond in the morning, and you can definitely find a statue of Yi near the pond." ”

The golden good didn't say a word, and immediately got up and walked out.

As soon as he left, the whole room was left with me and Qin Laosan, and Qin Laosan was a person who couldn't be idle, took a sip of water on the table, and asked me: "Chuanzi, how do I feel that you are the same as someone who is fine?" ”

I let out a sigh and asked, "And how do you think I should react?" ”
