Chapter 382: Who is the Demon?
The ghosts of a family of three watched behind Zhang Xiaofo, and it was not until the old farmer appeared that they dispersed and disappeared.
"Whatever you hear, don't believe it!" The old farmer to Zhang Xiaofo.
"Then what should I believe, you murderer?" Zhang Xiaofo asked rhetorically.
The old farmer was silent, but he admitted what he had done.
"Why? Why do such a cruel thing? Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"They want to leave!" The old peasant spoke, and the reason was ridiculous: "If there is no one in this village, it will not be a village!" ”
"It's not under your control that the villagers want to leave!" Zhang Xiaofo knew that he was facing a murderer who surpassed the past, but he still treated it calmly. In his opinion, it is much easier to face a murderer than to face those ghosts.
"So I killed them all!" The old farmer took a puff of dry tobacco and was a little proud.
"What about me? You're not going to let me out either? Zhang Xiaofo mentioned himself.
"No, I said, when it's dawn, you'll be able to get out!" The old farmer was a little impatient: "You come out quickly, or your life will be lost!" ”
"Well, you won't kill me!" After getting a positive answer, Zhang Xiaofo finally walked out of the house.
The sweat behind Zhang Xiaofo's back had already soaked his clothes.
"Let's go back!" The old farmer led the way in front: "I thought you wouldn't come out!" ”
"You're human, and there's a ghost in the house!" Zhang Xiaofo's answer was simple.
"Look at the way you look, you were just making a show?" The old farmer was surprised by Zhang Xiaofo's theory: "I am a murderer, you still dare to follow me?" ”
"You are an individual and have your own logic in everything you do. And like you said, you're only killing people from the village, and I'm not! Zhang Xiaofo calmly analyzed.
"Alright, I'll talk about it, let's go after dawn!" The old farmer took Zhang Xiaofo back to his house.
Zhang Xiaofo smiled bitterly, turned around and returned to the original point.
The old peasant fumbled around the house for a while. When he came back, he brought a jar of wine with him.
The old farmer didn't greet Zhang Xiaofo either, and after sitting down, he took a sip: "This village used to be very good!" Everyone is very hardworking, although life is hard, but they are also living well! ”
Zhang Xiaofo was attracted by the aroma of wine, and couldn't help but hug the jar and take a sip. Suddenly, the aroma of wine overflowed his mouth, and the smell of wine came up, and Zhang Xiaofo was a little dizzy.
"What? Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you? The old farmer smiled, but this smile was not as good as not smiling in Zhang Xiaofo's eyes.
"If you want me to die, I'll be dead a long time ago!" Zhang Xiaofo said that although it was not completely true. But it also represents a part of sincerity.
"But I don't know when it started, but this place started to change. The people in the village became lifeless, people didn't do anything to produce, they only complained, and then the village was in chaos, and all kinds of violations of law and discipline happened...... There are a lot of ...... that you can't talk about."
"Why kill them?" Zhang Xiaofo interrupted the old farmer.
The old farmer glanced at Zhang Xiaofo, his eyes were terrifyingly vicious, but Zhang Xiaofo did not flinch, he seemed to see something in that look. He doesn't know if others feel the same way when they look at him.
"They want to get out and take everything bad out...... Of course I'm going to stop it. This is my responsibility as the village chief. ”
"What about the kids? Children are cruel too? Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"You may not believe it, but I didn't kill it alone! To be exact, I only got my hands dirty with the three people you saw, and the rest of the village was the work of those three people and others! The old farmer poured wine vigorously, but his eyes were always clear: "I made this wine myself." I have had no children in my life. My wife left early, and I started making sake when I was fine. Fortunately, I still have a little confidence in winemaking, and the old people and children in the village like to beg for wine and drink from me in their spare time......," the old farmer fell into reminiscence: "Thanks to them, I am not alone." But...... They have changed. Become selfish and calculating. I told myself countless times that it would be okay, but the inevitable happened......"
"How do you save yourself?" Zhang Xiaofo was willing to believe the old farmer's words, at least there was no reason to lie to him.
"I grew up in a Taoist temple, and I know some gossip and psychedelic means. You can't get out of the 500-meter radius of my house because of my hands! "The old farmer didn't hide it.
"I see! No wonder! Zhang Xiaofo nodded.
"Still, I appreciate that you know people! I know that the family of three is uneasy and kind! The old farmer took the initiative to give the wine jar to Zhang Xiaofo.
The wine is really like what the old farmer said, it is very strong, and it is indeed a good wine! Zhang Xiaofo poured it hard for a while this time, and didn't stop wiping his mouth until his stomach was churning: "I don't believe in ghosts!" ”
"Why? You don't believe that ghosts are good, just as people are good and bad? The old farmer asked.
"Ghosts, whether they are good or bad in life, will slowly become crazy as long as they stay in the human world!" Zhang Xiaofo explained.
"You've seen a lot of ghosts?" The old farmer asked curiously.
"I've seen a lot!" Zhang Xiaofo replied, "When will it be dawn?" ”
"That's not what I can say! Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow! The old farmer also said helplessly: "But as long as it is dawn, I will let you out!" It's still dangerous to go out now. You don't know what will happen to them! ”
"Anyone has ever gone out at night before?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"You're not the first traveler in this place, and you don't listen to me and force yourself to leave. The result ...... "The old farmer didn't say the result, but Zhang Xiaofo was able to guess the ending."
"......" Zhang Xiaofo didn't know what to believe.
"Time is very difficult, originally you ate the steamed buns I made, you will sleep for a while, maybe you will wake up and it will be dawn!" The old farmer sighed: "But that's fine, someone to talk to me, I don't know when the last time I talked to someone!" ”
"That family of three said that as long as you scrap your pair of eyes, they will be free!" Zhang Xiaofo accepted the current situation where there was nothing to be done, so he wanted to figure out every detail that he still didn't understand.
"That's, they just want to kill me, it's just that I don't have a chance with my eyes. I have had some strange eyes since I was a child, as long as I look at those ghosts, they don't dare to approach, and they can't confuse me, so when I was a child, I was taken by the master and taken up the mountain. I immersed the family of three in a pickle jar and confined them in my house so that they wouldn't hurt anyone...... But I don't know how long it will last! The old farmer was so dry that he wanted to drink, but he found that he had been drunk by Zhang Xiaofo: "I have less and less time to be awake, and every time I close my eyes, I don't dare to hope that I can wake up again!"
