Chapter 19: The Shock in the Village

Today is destined to be an unquiet day for Wilderness Village.

In the early morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Mo was screamed by a series of piercing knocks on the door. Also woke up were Li Shuai and Zhao Lao.

The person who came was the youngest son of the village chief, and asked them to gather at Xu Laohan's house on time at half past six, saying that Xu Laohan was funeral today. This is also a custom in the village, as long as there is a dead person, then the whole village, whether it is a man, a woman or a child, must go to mourn.

Although Xiao Mo was a little puzzled by the village chief's sudden announcement of Xu Laohan's death, he still promised the village chief's youngest son that he would come over on time.

"Grass, the handsome guy is dreaming of entering the cave room, and half of his underwear is off!"

After the messenger left, Li Shuai began to curse and mumble, Xiao Mo looked at his unhappy appearance, maybe he really had some sweet dream.

"I really can't imagine that Uncle Xu's body is so hard that he will be gone if he says no!"

Zhao Lao Crooked didn't seem to sleep well, rubbing his red and swollen eyes and yawning and sighing. Xiao Mo glanced at him, and then pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"I remember that person was very tough, he didn't look like he was suffering from any disease, why did he pass away suddenly?"

"Perhaps...... He was just like the people before him. Zhao Lao crooked his face and made a gesture to wipe his neck in horror, meaning that Xu Laohan was also skinned and killed.

The weather was still breathlessly oppressive, and it was clear that it was time for the sun to rise, but it was still overcast, and there was a faint smell of dampness in the air.

Xiao Mo and Li Shuai casually dealt with the stutterer at Zhao Lao's house, and then went to Xu Laohan's house with Zhao Laoqiao. By the time they got there, it had already been surrounded by villagers, and the village chief, Wang Abacus, and a few others were struggling to organize order.

Xiao Mo glanced up at the door of Old Man Xu's house. A long white ribbon had been hung there. Xu Laohan didn't have any relatives in the village, so the only people who could help him do it were the village chief and Wang Abacus.

Just as Xiao Mo was looking at the white ribbon hanging on the door in a daze, Wen Qiayun and the little attendant spotted them, calling softly and waving at him and Li Shuai.

A few people found a corner where no one was around, and then heard Li Shuai say strangely:

"Where's the bald donkey and the king bastard?"

Xiao Mo glanced at the time, it was already half past six o'clock at this time, and almost all the people in the village had already come. Xiao Mo silently searched in the crowd, and soon his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked to the crowd.

After a while, Xiao Mo returned. Suspiciously, he said:

"Zhou Tongzi said that he didn't see the bad monk and Wang Zi when he got up in the morning, and the two guys probably slipped out last night."

"Nothing will happen, will it?" Li Shuai couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

"It's hard to say, but I can contact them on my mobile phone."

Wen Qiayun looked at Xiao Mo thoughtfully, originally wanting to say something, but saw that Xiao Mo was calling Wang Zi and them. I pressed it down for the time being.

Xiao Mo successively dialed the mobile phones of Wang Zi and the unkind monk, but it was very strange. None of their mobile phones could get through. Not even a waiting tone sounded.

"It's strange, it won't work."

"No, isn't it called an undisturbed mobile phone? Is this a copycat? It won't be so pitiful! Li Shuai looked like he wanted to cry without tears.

Wen Qiayun thought about it and reminded:

"There is no electricity in this village, so how can there be a signal? Naturally, mobile phones cannot be dialed in areas with no signal coverage, which has nothing to do with not being interfered with by supernatural forces. ”

"Makes sense." Xiao Mo nodded approvingly. But then he sighed worriedly and said:

"Since we can't contact them for the time being, then they can only ask for more blessings on their side, after all, we don't even know where they went, and we can't find them."

"I might know where they went?" This time it was undoubtedly Wen Qiayun who spoke.

"You know?" Xiao Mo could see that this Wen Da beauty did seem to know something.

"Hmm. But I'm not sure. ”

Wen Qiayun thought for a moment and continued:

"Because yesterday, when you were leaving, Wang Zi went and went back to find me, and asked me in detail about Widow Li. Although he only inquired and didn't say what he would do, I think that since he was so concerned, it was not impossible that he would follow Widow Li at night, and Widow Li did leave quietly last night. ”

"If Wang Zi wants to follow him, then the master of bad intentions will definitely follow."

Xiao Mo couldn't see anything on his face, but in his heart he was secretly scolding Wang Zi's recklessness, and he followed them without saying a word.

"Since we all know that the disappearance of the bald donkey and the king bastard may have something to do with the widow, then what do we want, just take the widow away and force her to tell her their whereabouts." Li Shuai said without bothering.

Hearing this, Xiao Mo shook his head and said:

"Let's wait a little longer, after all, Wang Zi has brains, and he is not a good monk, and the two of them are not so easy to get into trouble. In other words, if something really happens to the two of them, it will be useless for us to rush over. ”

Wen Qiayun and Li Shuai could see that Xiao Mo didn't want to ask for trouble, after all, they stayed in the village honestly, and nothing happened in the past few days.

Just when Xiao Mo and the others were having a headache about the disappearance of the unkind monk and Wang Zi, the villagers who were blocking the door didn't know what they had heard, and they began to discuss it as if they had blown up the temple.

"Shoehorn, dog six, big face The three of them didn't go to the town to go to their relatives, they all died!"

"Dead? Rumor-mongering, right? Who said that? ”

"What kind of rumors, didn't you listen to the village chief, the three of them, like Uncle Xu, were brutally skinned to death. I heard that the flesh and blood were gone, and all that was left was a piece of dry skin and some broken bones. ”

“……”

Xiao Mo took his attention away from the villagers on this side, and then turned to the villagers on the other side:

"I heard Wang San say that the shoehorns were not killed by people, but by powerful ghosts."

"You don't talk nonsense, how can a ghost come to our village to kill people."

"Wang San is the son of Wang Abacus, so he must know some truths, believe it or not. Anyway, when I found out that the shoehorn and the big face were killed, I was always scared. ”

“……”

The villagers' chattering grew louder and, of course, the panic that lingered in their hearts.

Li Shuai didn't listen to these villagers, in fact, the messy things in this incident had already annoyed him. Besides, these things are Xiao Mo's work, and what he needs to consider now is whether to find Wang Zi and the others who have lost contact with them.

It is no exaggeration to say that when the village chief made this matter public, the villagers of Yuanye Village fell into a huge panic.

After all, this is only a small village with only about 100 people, and the villagers generally do not ask high questions, and they are more affected by feudal ideas. So this kind of thing in the village is no less than a sudden tsunami.

Xiao Mo couldn't understand why the village chief's good demeanor didn't continue to hide it, instead of causing the whole village to panic.

"Everyone be quiet, let's wait until Uncle Yu is sent away." The eldest son of the village chief walked out of the door at this time, and shouted to the villagers who were talking outside.

Xu Laohan did seem to have some prestige in the eyes of the villagers, and the villagers suddenly fell silent, and a series of uncomfortable horns came from inside the door.

"Alright, let's all go in."

Xiao Mo and the others only knew a little about the customs here, but they didn't know anything about the details and origins. At this time, the sound of the horn obviously represented the beginning of the condolence ceremony, so the villagers who had originally stopped outside walked in an orderly manner at this time.

Xiao Mo and the others didn't take the opportunity to sneak away, but also followed the villagers' team into the courtyard together.

However, as soon as they stepped into the courtyard with their front feet, a man of about fifty or sixty years of age rushed in behind them, limping in, and shouted in spite of the occasion:

"Dead ...... Dead! Village Chief, Dead! Liu Xiaoyan and cross-eyed...... They were skinned! (To be continued......)
