Chapter 7: The Eccentric Village Chief

(Thank you for your monthly passes, although I can't make the list no matter how hard I fight, I still hope that you can vote for me with a guaranteed monthly pass, maybe a miracle will happen.) )

Li Shuai leaned against the door and waited with bated breath, and after a while, the village chief and his wife let out a slight snoring sound, and it seemed that the two were already asleep.

However, Li Shuai was not in a hurry, but waited for a while, and saw that the village chief and his wife really had no intention of waking up, so he walked towards the bedside of the two.

The bedroom is not very large, except for a double bed, a wardrobe, a round table and a few chairs.

It was clear where to hide things, and Li Shuai roughly calculated in his heart, from the time the village chief left the living room to enter the bedroom, and then to the time when he sneaked in right after him. He felt that in such a short period of time, the village chief would not have deliberately hidden the box, but must have put it under the bed or in the closet.

Thinking like this, Li Shuai began to search around the bed, and then squatted down to find the bottom of the bed, but did not find the mysterious box in the process.

Li Shuai was not in a hurry, and when he saw that there was nothing under the bed, he immediately set his eyes on the wardrobe at the feet of the village chief and his wife. The wardrobe is the oldest-fashioned double door, with a piece of operaque glass on each side of the door.

Li Shuai took off his shoes and went to bed carefully.

He gently opened the cabinet door on one side, then poked his head in and rummaged through the tattered clothes hanging inside with his hands, and then it didn't take long for Li Shuai's face to show joy, because he had found the box.

Hiding under two neatly folded clothes.

After discovering the box, Li Shuai grabbed it with both hands without hesitation. Straight out of the box. Then he slowly closed the door again, and when he put his shoes back on, he turned into a breeze and quietly left.

It's just that Li Shuai didn't realize from beginning to end that the village chief's cloudy eyes had been wide open in the dark for a long time!

Not long after Li Shuai left, the village chief's thin body, which was as thin as a dried corpse, crawled out of bed. He trembled to the table with the oil lamp, and struck a match to light it.

The ghostly oil lamp added a few more gloom to the dead bedroom, and the village chief coughed heavily, and saw him climb back into bed with the oil lamp, and then rummaged in the closet. Apparently looking for his treasure box.

"Gone...... The box is missing......"

The village chief's voice was hoarse. The faint light of the oil lamp shone on his face, reflecting an extremely hideous face. His eyes were staring in astonishment, and the wrinkles on his face were all tangled, which combined with his already dry and sallow face. It's terrifying.

Maybe it's because it's too frightening. So much so that the village chief did not step on the mattress under his feet. As soon as his body slipped, he fell backwards hard. And in the direction of his fall, his sleeping wife was lying.

"Poof!"

Although the village chief tried to grab the closet door at the moment of his fall, he still could not escape the fate of falling. But when he fell heavily on top of his wife. It wasn't his wife's scream, it was just the muffled sound of something pounding on the mud.

Ignoring the pain all over his body, the village chief hurriedly turned over and sat up, and used the oil lamp in his hand to shine on his wife, who had just been pressed under him.

It's just that what appears under the oil lamp is not a normal old face, but a face that has completely decayed and almost turned into a puddle of stinky mud!

Such a terrifying face appeared under the dim oil lamp, and normal people were already frightened, but the village chief didn't seem to care, but there was a little more worry on his face:

"I'm sorry...... I'm holding you down. The village chief whispered.

And her wife's mouth, at this moment, also replied movingly:

"That box...... Find it...... Be sure to find it ......! ”

Wang Zi and the monk sat at a square table head-on, the two of them didn't know if they were thinking, or if the conversation could no longer continue, at this time they were all staring at the oil lamp on the table and were stunned.

This atmosphere lasted for about two minutes before it was broken by Wang Zi's opening:

"I think for people like Zhou Tongzi, there should be some force to persecute him, otherwise he won't tell the truth."

"Maybe people don't know anything at all?" The unkind monk didn't seem to adopt Wang Ziti's meaning at all.

Wang Zi's face was a little gloomy, not that he was willing to do such a thing of force and persecution, but that Zhou Tongzi didn't say anything no matter what they asked, and he didn't know what he asked, which was really too annoying.

If it was the past, it would be fine, but this time, he was holding back his strength and planning to prove himself, if he let Xiao Mo or others find a solution, then it would be difficult for him to turn over.

The unkind monk glanced at Wang Zi quietly, and Xu saw that Wang Zi was a little too anxious, so he nodded at him:

"Master Wang, it's useless to be anxious about the incident, and besides, this is the first day we have been here, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect an explosive harvest on the first day."

"What if you're not in a hurry? Does it depend on the captain to turn the tide every incident? ”

"Looks like you're thinking too much." The unkind monk somewhat heard Wang Zi's thoughts, and he shook his head and explained:

"Lord Xiao Shi, Master Li Shi, they are all good people, and they will never do anything dangerous to you. What's more, we are just serving ourselves, just trying to let ourselves escape the curse alive, the team has an impact, but our own share is the most sufficient. ”

After hearing this, Wang Zi pursed his lips disapplauded:

"How do you live on your own? Do you think the captain would have survived until now if he had relied on him alone? In other words, would you have survived until now on your own? ”

The unkind monk shook his head, neither agreeing nor denying it, seeing this, Wang Zi continued:

"The significance of the team may seem insignificant, but in reality it plays a huge role.

After all, since the official beginning of the incident. It means that danger is coming. No matter how strong the analytical ability is, it also needs a safe time to extract and analyze clues, and if there is no certain protective force around you in this process, then no matter how capable you are, you are destined to have no chance to find out the truth. ”

"What do you want to say, Lord Wang?"

Wang Zi saw that the unkind monk still didn't understand himself, he sighed and stopped talking nonsense, anyway, no matter what he said, the unkind monk would refute it with that set of his unique Madonna remarks.

He has always believed that trust is only theoretical, so he simply tries to make the other party trust. Value yourself. It's better to find a way to reach a relationship with the other party that takes advantage of each other.

Meanwhile.

Wen Qiayun and the little attendant stuck to the window, carefully observing the movements of Widow Li opposite.

The house where Widow Li was located was completely shrouded in darkness, and in order not to be discovered by her, there was no light in the room where Wen Qiayun and her little followers lived. They couldn't see the scene inside the house at all. But this has been observed. But it is possible to know if Widow Li will sneak out at night. Or someone sneaking in.

In short, Wen Qiayun felt that the woman living in the opposite room was a little abnormal, and inexplicably gave her a sneaky look. The feeling of trying to hide something.

Wen Qiayun told the little follower her thoughts, and the little follower also said that he also felt this way, so they stayed here like this, secretly observing the movements in the opposite room.

But Widow Li seemed to be asleep, for there had been no movement in the room since she had turned off the lights at eight o'clock.

"Would you like to sneak over and have a look?" Wen Qiayun asked the little attendant in a low voice.

However, the little attendant dragged her and shook her head, and sternly gestured in the dark that it was too dangerous. Seeing this, Wen Qiayun also smiled and nodded:

"I'm saying that even if that woman really leaves tonight, we can only stay here and wait for Xiao Mo and them to come over tomorrow and explain to them."

As soon as Wen Qiayun said this, the little attendant pulled her suddenly, and she immediately covered her mouth knowingly and looked away from the other side again.

"...... Uproar"

From the opposite room, there was the sound of a series of deadbolts scratching, and Wen Qiayun's heart moved, knowing that it was the woman who was coming out. However, Widow Li did not go out rashly, but first pushed the door open a little, and then showed one eye to observe the room where Wen Qiayun and the others were for a while.

Perhaps thinking that they were already asleep, he carefully slipped out and gently closed the door.

Widow Li's series of actions were clearly seen by Wen Qiayun and the little followers who were hiding opposite. (To be continued......) (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
