CHAPTER XV

"Here it is, Silver Lake Village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

The two of them came to a village at the foot of a large mountain, and there was a large lake outside the village, because the mountain was high and densely forested, the wind was very light in this location, and there was a strange calm on the lake, which was very comfortable to look at.

Shangguan Xi parked the car next to the lake, it would take a few minutes to walk from here to the village, the main road was too difficult to walk, the middle was high and the sides were low, and there were potholes, the car drove in and scratched the chassis, Ai Xuefei felt a little sorry for his car.

From here, Yinhu Village is located at the junction of Sanzuo Mountain, and the terrain is still very gentle.

It was still daytime, and there were few people in the village, except for the occasional human figure through some windows.

"There's something eerie about this place." Ai Xuefei said hesitantly.

Shangguan Xi didn't speak, and kept bowing his head and walking forward, but he also agreed in his heart.

Maybe it's too far away from the city, and the young people in the village have gone out to work, but they don't seem to see any children, and the two of them have walked in the village for a long time, but they haven't found a small child.

It's like an abandoned village......

Although Ai Xuefei didn't say it, in fact, Shangguan Xi also understood that she was still a little uneasy in her heart, which could be seen from her constantly flickering pupils.

Shangguan Xi walked to a two-story tall and relatively new flat building and knocked on the door.

In the middle of the night, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the room, followed by a "squeak", and the door was opened a crack.

A pair of cloudy and godless pupils looked through the crack in the door to see that it was Shangguan Xi outside the room, and a trace of doubt flashed in his somewhat pale eyes: "You are?" ”

"Hello, we're from the city, and we're here to ask something."

"Oh......" The old man seemed to be a little sluggish, and after a while, he looked at Shangguan Xi again, and then gently closed the door again.

Shangguan Xi was about to knock on the door again to ask, but he heard a violent cough from inside the house, and the old man's voice was a little dim and said:

"Let's go, don't go...... I can't get out. ”

This sentence startled Shangguan Xi, and Ai Xuefei also felt a little hairy.

"What do you mean, old man? Did something happen? ”

No matter how Shangguan Xi knocked on the door, there was no sound in the house, as if there had never been anyone in this room......

"Let's go, look elsewhere, maybe find some clues."

Shangguan Xi sighed helplessly, so he had to turn around and leave.

After searching in the village for a long time, I finally found a strong woman in her fifties, holding a bag of rice in her hand.

When the woman heard about the intention of the two, her first reaction was also silent, and she wanted to quickly dump Shangguan Xi and the others and go home, but when she saw the thick pile of banknotes in Shangguan Xi's hand, her eyes suddenly changed.

"This ......," the woman hesitated.

Shangguan Xi stuffed the banknotes into the woman's pocket and said, "Eldest sister, we don't mean anything else, don't worry, we won't tell anyone." ”

"This ...... Okay, okay, then you guys go to my house. ”

Shangguan Xi and Ai Xuefei glanced at each other, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the woman to the house, first let Shangguan Xi and the others go in first, and then the woman looked at the day at the door, and only closed the door and came in after making sure that there was no one, as if she was afraid of being found out if she did something bad.

The environment in the house is not very good, the floor is full of mud and dust, the stool is also broken, there is a black place on it, and there is an indescribable strange smell in the whole room, Shangguan Xi is okay, Ai Xuefei is a woman after all, and she can't stand it a little.

Covering his nose with a disgusting expression, he didn't sit down, after all, the stool was too dirty.

Shangguan Xi had no choice but to shake her head awkwardly and smile bitterly, while Ai Xuefei smiled and signaled that it was okay.

After the woman walked in, she saw the demeanor of the two, and immediately felt a little embarrassed: "Let you see the smile, I am from the countryside, and the family conditions are not good, don't mind the two bosses." ”

Dressed beautifully, beautifully looked, "wallet" beautiful, not what the boss is.

Shangguan Xi waved his hand and skipped the topic: "It's okay, eldest sister, tell us what strange things are going on in this village." ”

A look of fear flashed across the woman's face, and she cleared her throat: "This has to start fifteen years ago. ”

"Our village, originally not called Yinhu Village, but Tianxin Village, fifteen years ago was not what it is now, although it was only a few years at that time, but the conditions were okay, many young people who worked outside came back to the village to contribute, build roads, ......"

Ai Xuefei had already investigated these things, and Shangguan Xi knew very well, but it was not good to interrupt the women's words.

The woman saw that the two were impatient, so she had to skip the irrelevant content.

"That year, a woman came to the village, she was very beautiful, what to say, I am a rural person, I have no culture, anyway, I am ......" Speaking of this, the woman threw a look at Ai Xuefei.

Without waiting for Ai Xuefei to speak, Shangguan Xi hurriedly said, "Go on." ”

"Hey, well, at that time, there were many young men in our village who fell in love with her and wanted to pursue her, after all, that woman was really beautiful and couldn't be described, and she was also very good at saying good, after coming to the village, she lived in an abandoned house arranged by the village chief, and the furniture and sanitation were all helped by the villagers."

"It's been just over a year...... One day everyone found out that the woman was pregnant, and we were very happy for her, but later we found out that no one knew who the child was. ”

"This time our village chief will not agree, after all, although the society was open at that time, but still pay attention to responsibility, the woman's belly is so big, the baby's father does not know who it is not a small problem, these people in the village, are a little related, everyone does not want to be so irresponsible, want someone girl and do not marry someone, and then the village chief asked a lot of people, no one admitted, no way, the village chief had to take all the men in our village to the woman's house, to face witness."

Shangguan Xi knew that the key problem was coming.

The woman said so much in one breath, and her mouth was a little dry, Shangguan Xi hurriedly handed over a bottle of mineral water, the woman unscrewed the lid, took a sip slowly, and continued: "At that time, our village, down to fifteen or sixteen years old, up to sixty years old, all passed, but the woman saw everyone and said no, no way, everyone thought that she was getting along with people from other villages, and didn't care anymore, only the village chief said a few words to my man afterwards, saying that it was wrong, that woman usually doesn't leave the village at all, and the nearby village is so far from here." , how could no one know about her relationship with outsiders, but the woman didn't say anything, so it passed. ”

"Since then, no one has seen that woman, she has hardly left the house, and she doesn't know how to eat and live, not to mention anything else, she can't always be in the house when she goes to the toilet and takes a shower."

"It's also very strange that people have seen her occasionally, she has always had a big belly, standing outside the village in a daze, looking at her like that, plus she has a child, and no one goes up to talk to her."

"Later...... The place where she stood...... Suddenly there was a very large lake, as you can see when you enter the village, the big lake. ”

Shangguan Xi was suddenly a little stunned, although he had long known that the lake in Yinhu Village was very strange, but he didn't expect it to be so weird.

And when the woman said this, she didn't go any further.

Shangguan Xi looked at Ai Xuefei, and she nodded.

She didn't seem to see that the woman was lying.

There was no way, Shangguan Xi also knew that he couldn't ask anything.

The two had no choice but to say goodbye to the women and walk outside the village.

Just as Shangguan Xi was leaving the village, the woman quietly opened the door and looked at the back of the two leaving, a strange and panicked look flashed in her eyes.
