Chapter 8: The Woman in White
The driver was really good to us for the sake of friendship, and took out the cigarette halfway and shared it with the two of us.
When we arrived at Qutun, the road was difficult to walk, after all, this is just a village, and the driver buddies insisted on going inside, wanting to use the car to send us to the location.
I really can't stand it, we've all driven cars, and we know that this kind of ground is very tires-intensive, and once we even hung up the chassis.
I forced him to stop, and after paying the money, Panzi and I started walking, and the driver didn't know why we were here, but he still told him to be careful, and then turned around and drove the car back.
Looking at the desolate scenery around me, I couldn't help but think of Suiyuan Village. It's also strange that Suiyuan Village has left too much shadow in my heart, and I'm a little scared when I walk like this. But while I was free, I also counted with Panzi, and when I arrived in the village so late, the villagers must have slept, so we simply found a place to rest first, and waited until dawn.
Panzi nodded and said okay.
We didn't want to stay on the road longer, so we tacitly quickened our pace, but after walking for a while, a person appeared in front of us.
It was a woman, standing alone in a clearing, dressed in white clothes and white trousers, with her hair scattered.
Just her appearance reminds me of Liu Hui, I said in my heart that I am really afraid of something, the environment is similar enough, why did I deliberately come to set off myself?
Panzi and I had to slow down again, and I guess the woman in white could notice the two of us, but she didn't look at us, she still stared at the starry sky intently, muttering that she didn't know what to say, and her hands were raised in front of her chest, as if she was grasping something.
But I don't see what she has in her hand, which makes me even more strange. When he got closer, Pan Zi shouted first, and he fed it.
The woman finally turned her head to look at us, but she grimaced at us and deliberately took a few steps to the side, in a way that annoyed us.
We still have a bit of a garbage dump on us, but she shouldn't be able to smell it from this distance. There must have been some other reason, and as soon as she moved, I could see clearly that she was holding a string in her hand, which extended directly into the air.
I guess she's flying a kite, it's really interesting to think about, no matter how addicted she is, she shouldn't fly a kite in the middle of the night, right? Besides, it was so dark that she couldn't see anything.
Pan Zi and I were both puzzled and curious, but I was not so afraid of this mentality. I saw that Panzi still wanted to ask, so I quickly dragged him secretly.
I think Pan Zi speaks roughly, and this woman looks a little hypocritical, so it's better to change it to me to ask questions.
I deliberately took a few steps forward and asked in a gentle tone, "Sister, may I inquire about something." ”
I asked myself if there was anything to be picky about, but the woman in white was angry at what I said, she stomped her feet in anger, turned her head and shouted, "Who is it called, sister?" So can't speak? He is only eighteen. ”
That is, I couldn't help it, otherwise I would have laughed, she had a forehead tattoo, and she had a wrinkled face, so she rushed at this face that had experienced vicissitudes, saying that she was thirty years old, and she actually said that she was eighteen.
I don't want to tease her, otherwise she won't be able to tell her that I'm sixteen in front of her. I sorted out my thoughts and asked her again, "Little old sister, my brother asks you something, how can there be a place to live in this village?" ”
Now the woman in white was happy, it seemed that I called her little old sister, which was an affirmation of her, and she smiled and clapped her hands, but as soon as she let go of her hands, the kite ran away.
Panzi originally wanted to be enthusiastic and go kite chasing. Helplessly, the kite string swished and disappeared, and Panzi only moved his body before he had to stop.
I found that the woman in white was a little nervous, she didn't react to Panzi's move, but still looked at me and said, "Brother, brother! You two are from outside, don't you have a place to live? It's simple, stay in my house, sleep with me, I'll just sing to you leisurely, and you'll fall asleep soon. ”
She said and made a gesture, like holding a baby in her arms and coaxing her to sleep.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, saying that this crazy girl took advantage of the two of us, we are such a towering man, who coaxes her.
Before I could answer, she reacted at once, looked at her hands, and said in horror, "Mom, where's my thread?" ”
She ignored us again and turned to follow the kite string.
Panzi and I didn't want to tell her anything, and it was useless to say anything. We hurried around her and swooped to the village.
The whole village was quiet, but from what I had observed, it was much more advanced than I had imagined. There are supermarkets, grain and oil stores, and a brick factory.
The brickyard is off, but the lights in the guard room at the entrance are still on. It is estimated that the husband has not slept yet.
Pan Zi and I leaned over and knocked on the door of the security room, and after a while, a master came out in his clothes, stared at us and asked what was the matter?
I explained my intention to come to the village to do some errands, but I was not in time for it, and asked him if he could borrow a guard room for us to stay for one night.
The old master was still listening attentively, but finally waved his hand impatiently, saying that this place was not for outsiders to live, and he wanted to bombard us again.
Remember to read ancient books, especially Journey to the West or something, where Tang monks and apprentices go, they can have a place to live, but that's what is written in the book. I know that if Panzi and I don't have anything to say, it will definitely not work.
I still had money in my pocket, so I took out a 100-yuan ticket and stuffed it directly into the master's hand, begging him to take care of it.
The old master smiled, and didn't mention the matter of outsiders or outsiders, and took the two of us into the factory, and before coming to a house, he said that this is a place for the driver to rest during the day, and now we can go in and sleep for a night, and we have bedding.
Pan Zi and I hurriedly thanked the master, and when we went in, we saw that this was a small bed, and the bedding was even dirtier, but Pan Zi and I were not picky, and squeezed it together.
At six o'clock in the morning, the master woke us up and invited us to breakfast. Of course, the breakfast is very simple, just rice porridge and small pickles.
Pan Zi and I were really hungry, and we ate so much that we almost wrapped up the master's share.
The old master was not so hungry, he took advantage of the time to smoke a big cigarette pouch and asked us, "You two said that you came to the village to do something, can you tell me what to do?" ”
As soon as he changed his husband, I didn't keep anything secret from him, so I said casually, "We are going to come to Lin Siyi." ”
But Lin Siyi's three words choked the old husband at once, and after he coughed a few times to ease his strength, he couldn't wait to ask the two of us, "Are you police?" ”
After saying that, he still wanted to touch his trouser pocket, which meant to return a hundred yuan to the two of us, and he didn't dare to accept anything from the police.
Pan Zi and I were sensitized by his actions, and Pan Zi answered first, "Master, we are not police!" ”
The old master paused, stopped touching his pockets again, but still showed a cautious and vigilant look and asked, "Then who are you from Ding Yi?" ”
I silently recited Ding Yi's name in my heart, and said in my heart, who is this? It seems to be related to Lin Siyi and the criminal police team.
I'm not stupid, but after a few turns in my brain, I suddenly thought of Captain Ding.
Pan Zi didn't have my understanding, he shook his head stupidly, saying that he didn't know Ding Yi. The old master was completely relieved, and he started to smoke again.
But I had an idea in my heart, and I thought there was something going on here. That masked man really has some magical powers, so it's really hard to let the two of us come to Qutun.
I added that we are not Ding Yi or anything, but we are friends with Captain Ding. This time, he was also dragged to ask him to come to Lin Siyi.
If only I were talking to the master now, I would definitely be able to get him over, but unfortunately there is Panzi, a beast lacking in virtue.
When he heard what I had said, he looked at me in surprise, and he sold me with this expression. The old master also saw that the door was coming, and even if he replied, he didn't want to say anything at all.
I sighed in my heart, knowing that I couldn't dig any news from the master, Pan Zi and I didn't ask much, and after eating breakfast, we walked out.
At this time, the village is very lively, working in the fields, going to work, and boring to move a bench to sit on the street, anyway, look at it, there are many people.
Pan Zi and I casually asked a few people to inquire about Lin Siyi, but it was evil, and when these people heard Lin Siyi, their attitudes were different.
I am expected to laugh at the two of us, some despise it, and some avoid talking about it, which confuses me, because from everyone's performance, it can be seen that this Lin Siyi is definitely a different person in their hearts.
Pan Zi and I were busy for more than an hour, but we still found nothing, and we also came to the end of the village little by little.
It was a desolate place, full of weeds, and we were looking for a place to sit and rest for a while, but when we stumbled upon it, we saw a red edge peeking out of the grass.
It was as if some person or animal was hiding inside.
Panzi and I both came up to be curious and leaned over together. I was a little worried, afraid that this was a village woman, who was hiding in the grass to pee.
If this is really the case, if we are reckless, she must not say that we are hooligans?
But what I feared didn't happen, the red edge was actually the corner of the kite. We picked up the kite together. I guess this kite must be the one of the woman in white, she loosened the line last night and let the kite blow away, and it must have landed here again.
We didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was just a kite, and we were planning to tear the kite in half and use it to cushion our butts and sit on it.
But upon closer inspection, we both realized that something was wrong, that the kite was a big butterfly, and its wings were red, and it was a dark red, and it didn't look like paint.
Pan Zi tore off a piece, touched it with his hand, and shone it in the sun, he had a guess and asked me, "Xiaobai, do you think this thing is blood?" ”
I think it's possible, and I'm shocked in my heart, if this speculation is true, what is the woman in white doing? She doesn't just like to fly kites. How can anyone fly a blood kite in the middle of the night?
Panzi and I flipped the kite over again, and this time it was even more complicated, we looked at the back of the kite and were stunned together.
