Chapter Seventy-Three, Confirmed (1)
There was a crisp sound of snow stepping outside, and the sound of rapid breathing could already be heard, although there was a strong distance, Xiao An and the others were not surprised, but very peaceful, knowing who was outside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After Bai Gouna led the three of them back, and then continued to participate in the sacrifice ceremony, when he left, he said that he would invite Bai Zaha to come with him, and talk about the previous misunderstandings, so the people outside must be Bai Zaha and Bai Gona.
The door flicked open slightly, and a cool breeze greeted them, which made all three of them shiver at the same time, and then two faces that were a little red from the cold.
As soon as he entered the door, Bai Gouna said politely,
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Xiao An shook his head,
"It's okay, Patriarch Bai, please sit down!"
Bai Zaha laughed dryly, and then found a random place to sit down, the air was a little awkward all of a sudden, Bai Gou took a spirit, and then said,
"You see it's also very cold, I'll go and stabilize some wine and cook some home-cooked food, you guys talk first, and I'll be back soon."
Xiao An replied politely,
"Then there's Elder Lao Bai!"
Bai Gouna said with a smile,
"You are guests, you must be entertained, you sit, I will go."
After saying that, Bai Gouna left with a smile.
Then everyone lowered their heads, Bai Zaha didn't know how to open his mouth when he saw this, but it would be more embarrassing if he didn't speak, anyway, he had to make the matter of the blood corpse clear.
Bai Zaha coughed lightly, everyone understood that this was about to speak, so their eyes focused on Bai Zaha, only to see Bai Zaha's right hand slightly clenched into a fist, then rubbed his nose, and said strangely embarrassed,
"That Mr. Xiao, as well as the two people here, on behalf of the clansmen in our village, I apologize to the three of them for today's incident."
Xiao An's expression was calm, and then he said politely,
"Patriarch Bai is a reasonable person, and it is reasonable for the villagers to suspect us in this matter, after all, the whole village is just three of us outsiders, so it can be forgiven in a reasonable way, Patriarch Bai does not have to blame himself, the deceased is the greatest, and the people in the village are all a family, and the three of us can understand your feelings."
Bai Zaha nodded and said admiringly,
"Three of you is really a lot, and I have thanked three of them here on behalf of the people of the village."
Xiao An smiled politely, and then his expression turned into a questioning look,
"But Patriarch Bai, why do the people in your village think that it is not our cause? After all, the three of us are really outsiders from the village, and we are the most suspicious. ”
Bai Zaha smiled awkwardly,
"Mr. Xiao is angry again, the clansmen were too angry before, you also saw the corpse, the cruelty of the means, the people and gods are angry, so they are like this, and then you go to find evidence, the footprints have only one direction, and there is no superfluity, so it must not be done by the three of them, as long as it is one person, it can be seen."
Xiao An smiled,
"But in the end, I went outside the village, I guessed that there was a cave, but I didn't expect it to be, but it was your forbidden place, as if you were very jealous of the appearance of the cave, when Elder Bai found us before, it was the same, I think this cave means a lot to you, can you tell us more about this here, after all, I think the real murderer may be hiding in the cave."
Bai Zaha swallowed, his face was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to say for a while, this was Bai Gouna coming in, interrupting the embarrassing atmosphere.
"The wine is warm, let's have a few sips before talking! And then the dish was ready immediately, too. ”
Huang Bo and Zhou Maoyin on the side came over, Zhou Maoyin smiled like his heart was full of flowers, he looked like a good drinker, and Huang Bo was more natural.
Xiao An said politely,
"Thank you, Elder Bai."
Bai Gouna also smiled and said,
"You keep talking, the dishes are here, patriarch, you and them have to have a few more drinks."
Bai Zaha nodded, only to see Bai Gouna leave with a smile, Xiao An's eyes were like daggers and thrust into Bai Zaha's heart, Bai Zaha was a little timid, picked up a few glasses of warm wine, and then drank it proudly, exhaled a breath before saying,
"Mr. Xiao, this is a forbidden secret since the establishment of the village, so I hope you can forgive me for not being able to say it directly."
After listening to such an answer, it is impossible to force others to say it, Xiao An said slowly,
"Since it's a secret of the village, then I don't need to ask more."
After speaking, Xiao An also took a big sip of warm wine, looked at the wine in the bowl and thought for a while, he thought that the murderer might be the guy who called himself the Grim Reaper, but ......, he took another sip of warm wine and couldn't do anything.
Zhou Maoyin also drank a few sips in a row during this period, and then Bai Zaha said that since the establishment of the village, he can also ask some questions.
"Patriarch Bai, I have some questions, I hope you can answer me?"
Bai Zaha squinted at Zhou Maoyin, Bai Gouna said that he is not simple, and he may know the secrets in the cave, so his question may be a little tricky, but it is not good not to answer, he only said,
"If someone knows it, he must answer it one by one, and if he doesn't know, then there is nothing I can do."
Zhou Maoyin smiled maliciously, and then said,
"Of course you know, I want to ask when the village was founded, I hope your style seems to be thousands of years old, but how?"
Bai Zaha took a sip of wine, then squinted at Zhou Maoyin, and then looked at Xiao An and them, if he said that it was really a thousand years, it would be a lie, if it was said that Bai Wenxuan was a descendant, then Li Dingguo's secret would probably be doubtful again, just like riding a tiger, up and down a dilemma, but he still decided to speak, if he set other words, he just didn't know.
"I don't know the specific time, but our village is not thousands of years old, mainly living in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, with a little bit of local indigenous feeling, in fact, it is not indigenous, our village is about 300 years old."
Zhou Maoyin smiled proudly and looked at Xiao An and Huang Bo, more than three hundred years ago, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was the period of Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan, so Zhou Maoyin's reasoning was not wrong, now Huang Bo and Xiao An both understood, but the demon still can't penetrate into the hearts of the people, even if that is established, the demon does not exist, okay.
Zhou Maoyin continued to say thoughtfully,
"More than 300 years, is it a village established in the early Qing Dynasty?"
Bai Zaha paused,
"We were born in this village, so we don't know the dynasty or anything, and we don't even know what era it is now, so I can't answer this question Mr. Zhou, hehe."
Zhou Maoyin muttered,
"This, this ......."
This really made Zhou Maoyin not expect, but Bai Zaha was right, where do you know what dynasty in this kind of place, you only know how to live.
Bai Zaha said with some embarrassment,
"I just know the time, and the specific dynasty you are talking about, you may have to ask some older people to know."
Zhou Maoyin was not angry and could only say,
"Alright then!"
