Chapter 293: Investigation
"You mean the old woman?" I asked softly. Read the full text of the latest chapter
"That's right, you forgot, our attic belongs to Abei's family, and the old lady's room is not far from us. When I woke up at night, I saw the lights on in her house. Mika looked at me and said.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be annoyed: "The old woman has tried to kill me several times, I should have expected that she had a conspiracy, this time not only to frame me, but also to attack you." ”
Speaking of which, the old woman really knows me, knows that I care about Su Xi and Mi Jia, and detains them as hostages, so I can only obey.
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you." I said with a firm look.
Mika frowned. I asked her what was wrong, and she shook her head slightly, now is not the time to dwell on this. I turned my face to face Su Xi and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, believe me." ”
Su Xi glanced at Mi Jia, took out the Qiankun bag and stuffed it into my hand: "Senior, I believe in you." ”
She gave me the Qiankun bag because she wanted Xiaobai to help me, but then she had no protection herself, how could I rest assured? I pushed the Qiankun bag to her, but Su Xi glanced in the direction of the old woman.
I turned my head to look back, the old woman was staring at us, her eyes were cold, and when she met her gaze, I couldn't help but shudder, Su Xi asked me not to arouse the old woman's suspicions. I thought that since the old woman used them to threaten me, they would not be in danger for the time being, so I took the bag. and told them both to pay attention to safety. Su Xi glanced at Mi Jia. There was some worry in his eyes, and then he nodded to reassure me.
I don't understand why Su Xi looked at Mi Jia with that kind of look. Mika has changed a little bit in the past few days, many things have not been explained thoroughly, and I haven't guessed who left the note for her.
At this time, the old woman waited a little impatiently, and motioned for the two Miao people to come over. We immediately stopped talking, and then I watched as the Miao people took them to a side room behind the Nuwa Temple, and when they left, the old woman waved her hand and told me that I could go, and said that I would have three days to prove my innocence.
I saw that the Miao people next to me had no intention of leaving at all, and the Nuwa Temple led to the door where Mi Jia and Su Xi were under house arrest, and they were also guarding people, and it was impossible for me to take Su Xi and Mi Jia away by myself.
Actually, I remembered later that I used my mobile phone to record the video of the patriarch's body moving the night before, which is the most direct evidence that can prove that my words are true, but my mind was so confused at the time that I forgot about it. But then again, since the old woman's plan is to put Su Xi and Mi Jia under house arrest, even if I really take out my mobile phone, the old woman may not approve of it.
I walked to the door of the Nuwa Temple dejectedly, but I felt strange behind me, as if something was staring at me, I wanted to see if it was an old woman, but when I turned around, I saw that the old woman was rushing to the side room behind the temple, and her movements were very hurried.
The figure of the old woman disappeared around the corner of the aisle, and the feeling of being stared at did not disappear. I looked around, and the feeling of being stared at was all too familiar, the same feeling I had when I slept in my own room staring at the heads of the elusive people.
I didn't find anything, but I was surprised to find that the eyes of the statue of Nuwa were all open, but I seem to remember that when I first saw her, she was half-open, could it be that I remembered it wrong?
I shook my head, picked up the mute dog on the ground, and left the Nuwa Temple with self-blame and anger, as soon as I walked out of the temple gate, I met Ah Bei, looking at her red eyes, I must have known what happened to the patriarch's corpse last night. Ah Bei told me that she had been hiding outside and looking into the temple, and she wanted to go in but didn't dare to go in.
Looking at her sad face, I was about to comfort her a few words, when I remembered that I was now charged with desecrating her mother's body, and she would definitely not have a good face to show me. Unexpectedly, she didn't care, and said to me: "Brother, I believe that you are not a person who does that kind of thing, Grandma won't let me go into Nuwa Temple to see Grandma, I just want to ask you, did Grandma find her head?" ”
"What?" I didn't understand what she meant.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask, has the head of my mother's corpse been found?" She hurriedly put it another way.
"Abei, what will happen if my mother's head can't be found?" I looked at the way she wanted to speak and stopped, and I couldn't help but ask.
"I, I can't say!" Ah Bei panicked. Died in the middle of the game.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and I saw that Ah Bei's eyes were very red and swollen, obviously crying for a long time, and it was hard to imagine how this sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl survived.
I couldn't bear to continue to ask, so I said, "Abei, it's almost dawn, I'll send you home." ”
Although I didn't ask anything, I felt that as long as I could find the heads of these corpses, I would not be far from the truth. At this time, I remembered a very strange thing last night, the patriarch's head turned into countless small insects, and there was not even a skull left, I felt that these little insects were definitely not as simple as rotting insects born from corpses.
Seeing that I was holding the dumb dog that was already cold in my hand, Ah Bei was a little frightened and asked me what was wrong, and I said bitterly, "It died to save me." ”
Abei didn't speak, and we walked home with our heads down, each with our own thoughts. Three days is not much, where do I start? In fact, I have a feeling that the old woman must know about the nocturnal corpse, and even this qiē was planned by her own hands, so what does he want me to do?
When I walked to the door of the courtyard of Abei's house, Abei stopped and refused to enter the house, and I asked her what was wrong? She sobbed quietly: "I don't want to go home, as soon as I go home, I think of Grandma, Brother, do you say that people can be resurrected?" ”
"This ...... The festival mourns and changes, without Grandma, you still have Abba. I comforted.
"My father, he is a strange man, he rarely talks to me, and last night he left the house in the middle of the night without a sound, and only came back when the moon went down. He never told us about himself, he went out with a Miao knife on his back last night, and he didn't tell me, but I saw it, and when he came back, I didn't see him come back from hunting prey, I don't know what he was busy with, if he cared more about Grandma, Grandma would be fine! As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears fell again.
I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth, and when I heard her say that her Abba went out with a Miao knife on her back, I couldn't help but conclude that it was Abba who fought with me last night!
I hurriedly asked her if her Abba was at home now. Ah Bei said that her father is a well-known lazy man in the village, and she doesn't know why her grandmother wants to marry him.
After hearing what Abei said, I can't wait to go to her now, Abba, he can definitely prove that what I said is true, and now that it is almost dawn, I am not worried that he will cut me with a knife in broad daylight! But Abei is still around, and she can't let her know about it.
After entering the yard, I persuaded Ah Bei to go to bed and have a good rest, and then asked Ah Bei for a small shovel to bury the dumb dog. Abei said that she didn't want to go home and asked me to rest, and said that she helped me bury the dumb dog. I originally thought it was a bit bad, but after thinking about it, Abei was gone, and I could just take advantage of her Abba to go and see what was going on, so I nodded in agreement.
Ah Bei went to come over with a shovel and a bag, I helped put the dumb dog's corpse into the bag, and then asked her if she could hold it, Ah Bei smiled, and carried the bag directly to her shoulder, it didn't look effortless, I put my mind at ease, and lied that I would sleep first, and let her tell me where the grave was after burying it, and I would go to worship the dumb dog, and Ah Bei agreed and carried the dumb dog away.
When Abei walked away, I quietly came to the door of Abei's parents' room, I gently pushed the door, and found that the door was not locked, I held my breath, pushed open a crack, and saw that the quilt was raised, proving that there was someone on the bed.
Although it is the room of Abei's parents, the patriarch often does not live here, but lives in a small bamboo building under the Holy Maiden's Cave, so the decoration of this room is very dark, not like a room with women.
I looked at it for a while, Abba seemed to be sleeping deeply, I gently pushed open the door, tiptoed to his bedside, and found that his head was buried in the quilt, only one hand was exposed, and there was a deep tooth mark on his arm, which must have been bitten by a mute dog, and the person last night was really him!
What to do? Do you want to call him up and confront him face to face? In a short period of time, several thoughts popped through my head, and finally, I decided to calm down.
When he first saw this person, he was very ordinary, and Mi Jia also said that he was the only person in this family of three who did not have Gu in his body.
The second time I made contact, I felt that he was very wooden, and for a short moment, I saw his eyes burst out, his face was bruised, and he was motionless, as if he was dead. But the look changed quickly, and it was fleeting.
I stared at the quilt for a long time, but I found that Daddy was sleeping too quietly, there was no sound at all, not even the sound of breathing, and when I looked closely, I found that the quilt on his chest did not even rise and fall.
I was shocked and reached out to gently lift the corner of the quilt, in the process, my hand shook a little, in case he suddenly woke up, this is not a joke.
Slowly, Abba's face was revealed, his eyes burst out, like a big-eyed goldfish, his eyes were all whites, the skin on his face was dry, the green tendons were bulging like ropes binding him, his mouth was wide open, and his tongue was retracted.
I frowned, reached out and tried his breath, not breathing at all......
