"Didn't you see me drinking medicine! What's wrong? Early in the morning, the chicken feathers shouted! With a burst of chirps, an old man with a red face and a strong spirit walked out of the room.

"I said Lao Wei, which tendon ...... you", the old man suddenly saw Nie Xiaohu and the others, and immediately closed his mouth.

"Lao Meng! Something big happened, the kid Zhou Zhiming on the other side was killed last night! Wei Runtian walked to Meng Hongqiang's side and said.

"What? You repeat!? The expression on Meng Hongqiang's face was the same as Wei Runtian's, all of them were shocked and incredulous.

After Wei Runtian repeated it again, and then looked at Nie Xiaohu and the others, Meng Hongqiang was sure that Wei Runtian was not joking with him, and couldn't help but be stupid.

"It's... How is this possible, such an honest child, who would have such a great hatred with him? Meng Hongqiang said to himself.

"You are Meng Hongqiang, Old Man Meng, right?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled at Meng Hongqiang.

"Don't dare to be, the little old man is Meng Hongqiang", Meng Hongqiang hurriedly bowed down and said.

"Two old men, did you hear anything unusual last night?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Forehead ......", Meng Hongqiang secretly glanced at Wei Runtian, his face showed embarrassment, and he looked like he was struggling and wanting to speak.

On the other hand, Wei Runtian had a complicated expression, as if he knew what Meng Hongqiang wanted to say.

The abnormal performance of the two made Nie Xiaohu frown.

"I said Lao Meng, just say what you know, don't be so secretive!"

On the contrary, Wei Runtian spoke first, and said impatiently: "Do you want to say that you heard me come out last night?" ”

"Hey, hey!" , Meng Hongqiang smiled awkwardly, "I heard you come out, and I heard you ......"

"I'm missing my son."

As he spoke, Wei Runtian squatted down, covered his face with his hands and cried, and said in a choked voice while crying: "Last night, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and my heart was full of my son's shadow, and then I got up and went out, went to the back of the house, and burned some paper for my son. ”

Nie Xiaohu turned his head slightly, glanced at Shi Yuning, Shi Yuning understood, and immediately turned to the back of the house.

Soon Shi Yuning came back, and whispered in Nie Xiaohu's ear: "Tiger head, there are indeed burned paper ashes behind the house, some of which are still very complete, they should have been burned last night." ”

Nie Xiaohu didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"Old Man Meng, what else did you hear?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"It's gone", Meng Hongqiang shook his head, "I heard Lao Wei crying quietly in the back of the house, knowing that he misses his son, I am also very sorry for him." ”

"What time was that?"

"It was when I was in the middle of the day when I heard the bang ringing outside."

"Before the deceased was killed," Nie Xiaohu thought to himself, and then asked, "Old Man Wei, did you see anyone in the courtyard at that time, or did you hear any movement?" ”

"No", Wei Runtian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up and said, "I burned the paper behind the house for a while, and then went back to the house to sleep, the moon was very big at that time, the yard was quite bright, and I didn't see anyone." ”

"Alas!"

Meng Hongqiang on the side sighed and said: "I think Zhou Zhiming is a good young man, and he is honest and capable, my daughter-in-law remarried in the past and married the right person, but I didn't expect ......, alas!" O my wretched daughter-in-law! ”

"Brother Hu, do you want to notify Zhou Zhiming's lady to come and identify the body later?" , Cao Xiaohui asked in a whisper.

"Well, this is not in a hurry", Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"That's right!"

Meng Hongqiang suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes suddenly widened a lot, and his face showed a panicked expression.

"What?" , Nie Xiaohu's nerves are tight.

"It's the ghost! It must have been that ghost who took Zhou Zhiming's life! Meng Hongqiang said in a panic.

"Ghosts?" , Nie Xiaohu's brows couldn't help but tighten tightly.

"That's right! It's that ghost! I've seen it twice! Meng Hongqiang called.

"Oh?"

Hearing Meng Hongqiang say that he had seen it, Nie Xiaohu suddenly became interested, and hurriedly said: "Old man Meng, don't worry, let's go to the house and sit down, you talk slowly!" ”

Everyone entered the living room of the main house and sat down, and after a few sips of tea, Meng Hongqiang's mood gradually stabilized.

"My lord, I have seen that ghost with my own eyes, just more than half a month ago, I lived in the room where Zhou Zhiming lived, one night, I was lying on the bed, I was in a daze when I didn't sleep, I suddenly saw a black shadow standing in front of the window, the person was all black, standing in front of my bed!

I was frightened, closed my eyes and screamed, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw Xiao Heng standing at the head of my bed, he lit the lamp on the bedside table, and kept whispering to comfort me, it seems that he should have heard my screams and rushed over, this child is really dedicated, he doesn't sleep at night, he is afraid that something will happen to me, an old man. ”

"What about the ghost?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"It's gone, there is no one in the house except me and Xiaoheng, and after a while, the big man also came in, and he also heard my cry and rushed over.

I said that I saw a ghost, but they didn't believe it, saying that maybe I had a nightmare, in order to make me feel at ease, Xiao Heng also deliberately crawled under the bed to look, but there was nothing, I thought at first that I had a nightmare, but then the next night, I saw the ghost again! As he spoke, Meng Hongqiang's face showed a frightened expression.

"You see it again?" , Nie Xiaohu's gaze suddenly became cold.

"Yes!" , Meng Hongqiang nodded heavily.

"The next night, when I was still dazed and about to fall asleep, I was lying on the bed with my head against the wall, but I unintentionally rolled over and blinked at random, and when I blinked, I saw a black figure lying on the ground, and the whole body was pitch black, exactly like what I saw last night!

I was so scared that I closed my eyes and screamed, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw Xiao Heng standing at the head of my bed, lit the lamp, and whispered to comfort me, I said that I saw a ghost again, and Xiao Heng just shook his head, saying that I had nightmares again. ”

"Are you sure you're right?"

"Absolutely not, the moon was very bright that night, the moonlight shone into the house through the window, I saw it really, I was afraid that it was a dream, and I pinched my thigh hard, it really hurt, I was sure that it was not a dream, so I shouted out!"

Nie Xiaohu nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Wang Yeheng, who was sitting beside Pang Rushui.
