"What is this old man looking at in the well?" Jiang Jun asked.

The door of the house was closed, and Xiao Lao's figure was hidden behind the door. Shen Nuo also stared at the well suspiciously, and she asked me if I wanted to go in and have a look again, when we hesitated. Someone stopped us. It's Da Zhuang, he has already left the Xiao family's compound, he is standing in the grass, if he hadn't called us, we wouldn't have been able to find him.

Da Zhuang's voice was very rough, but it was extremely slow: "You are not allowed to enter the Xiao family's compound again." ”

After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he ignored us, slowly walked to the gate of the compound, and closed the gate. After the door was closed, Da Zhuang took out a large lock from his pocket and locked the door. After completing this series of actions, Da Zhuang didn't even look at us. Straight away.

Jiang Jun was a little dissatisfied, but helplessly, it was not our home, and we couldn't go into it.

I thought for a while: "Let's go and ask the villagers first, if something comes out, it is necessary to force the Xiao family compound to investigate, and then we will find a way." ”

There is no signal in this place, and if you want to contact the police, you have to go out of the village, and if there is no criminal case involved, there is no need to notify the police, but if it is a criminal case, even if it is a simple case, we must notify the police.

We left the Xiao family compound, and we decided to find the camel first. I went back to the camel's house. The camel still didn't go back, so we asked the villagers closest to the camel's house to ask about the situation. The key point is that many villagers have already moved away, so we don't know which houses are occupied and which ones are empty.

Looking at my watch, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and there were very few people walking in the village, and when these people saw us, their faces were abnormal, and when they thought about it, they knew that there were very few outsiders in the village. Rumors of the curse are spreading in Xiaopan Village and even throughout Ruli City. Since the death of that outsider a year ago. We were the first to enter the village.

We stopped a random man and asked about the whereabouts of the camel. The villagers all knew about the camel, and when they heard that we were brought in by the camel, the two villagers carrying the hoe sighed and cursed. Ironic skills.

The cursing man scolded and said: "This camel, who earns all black money, only killed a person a year ago, and now brings people in!" ”

Another sigh echoed: "Sooner or later, there will be retribution!" ”

We were puzzled, and Jiang Jun asked, "How can this camel be retributed?" "It seems to us that the camel is just asking passers-by for money, after all, it makes perfect sense for him to bring people into the village in ox carts and provide his own home for others to live in.

"Use the curse to make money. Sooner or later, he will be cursed to death! One of the villagers scolded: "Everyone in the village says so, several, I advise you, get out of the village as soon as possible, don't lose your life here." ”

Another villager also responded, and he told us to get out of the village quickly. After hearing that we had been in the village for a night, they got up in a hurry for us. The two villagers, who live near the camel's house, said that the whole village is basically unaccustomed to the camel's behavior of using the curse to make money, and in the eyes of everyone, the camel is going to be retribution, so everyone does not dare to get close to him.

The villagers denied that the camel had come to their house last night to make up the bed, and they told us not to look for it, no one would accept the camel. Two kind-hearted villagers were willing to send us out of the village, saying that as long as we walked for a day, we would naturally be able to go to the city. This is nothing for the villagers, everyone has no means of transportation, and when they leave the village, they either take ox carts or walk on foot.

After thanking the villagers, we headed for the next house.

"The camel's popularity is so bad, he also said to make a bed, Professor Li, where do you say he went?" Jiang Jun asked.

I shook my head: "I don't know, just ask, maybe there are people who are willing to accept camels." ”

However, we asked several families in succession, and they said that they had not seen camels yesterday or today, and when they mentioned them, their tones were full of contempt, and they said the same thing as the two villagers before them: camels are not welcome, and no one will accept them.

Helpless, we just need to ask about the Xiao family again.

I asked very directly: "In this Xiao family compound, was there a person named Xiao Yingfeng before?" ”

Hearing the Xiao family, the faces of several villagers suddenly changed, they refused to say more, and directly kicked us out of the house. He was so enthusiastic that he welcomed us into the house. His home is very small, and as soon as we enter the house, we see the ashes bottles placed in the house.

In the process of questioning the villagers, we noticed that, as the camel said, there were those kind of ashes bottles in every house. This ash bottle is not quite the same as the bottles we used to see, compared to ordinary ash bottles, the bottles placed in the villagers' homes are more than twice the size, and the surface is smooth without any lines.

If we hadn't known in advance that it was an ashes bottle, we would have thought it was just an ordinary decorative bottle.

The villager, who was a man, poured a bowl of water for each of us, and after sitting down, he told us in detail what had happened to the Xiao family. This villager knows more than the camel, and in addition to what the camel told us, the villager also told us about the complicated relationship between Da Zhuang and the Xiao family's compound.

Now, we finally knew that Da Zhuang actually lived next door to this villager.

At that time, the Xiao family did recruit him to the Xiao family as a coachman because of poor Da Zhuang, usually, Da Zhuang didn't need to work much, only when the Xiao family needed to leave the village, he drove the cattle for the Xiao family, pulled the Xiao family out of the village, and then sent it back. The Xiao family doesn't go out of the village often, so Da Zhuang may only work for one or two days a month, but despite this, Da Zhuang can finally eat and dress warmly by relying on the salary given by the Xiao family.

"At that time, everyone, don't mention how envious you are!" The villager said: "After working in the Xiao family for a year, Da Zhuang renovated himself and then asked for a wife from a neighboring village. ”

The villagers said, pointing to the window for us to see, and through the window, we saw a brick house that was taller than the other houses. That is the big house, in this poor country, to build this kind of three-story brick house, it does need a lot of money. It only took a year for Da Zhuang to go from a poor man who needed mercy to build a house and marry a wife, which shows that he got a lot of wages from the Xiao family.

"But." The villagers changed their words: "It didn't take long for Da Zhuang to be dismissed by the Xiao family. ”

The villagers told us that in everyone's eyes, Da Zhuang was originally an honest and honest person, but he lived close to Da Zhuang, so he knew that since Da Zhuang worked in the Xiao family, his personality had changed, and he had become much more arrogant than before. On the day of his dismissal, the villager had just returned from farming.

The Xiao family had a housekeeper at the time, and when the villagers came back, they saw the housekeeper arguing with Da Zhuang. Out of curiosity, the villagers hid, and after listening carefully, it turned out that the housekeeper was going to dismiss Da Zhuang. At first, Da Zhuang begged hard, but after the housekeeper didn't pay attention to him at all, Da Zhuang also became angry.

Da Zhuang's body was strong, and the butler was quickly scared away by him. After Da Zhuang entered the house, he threw many pots and pans out of the house, and his wife came out to pick them up, and was scolded by Da Zhuang.

Indeed, according to the villagers' descriptions, this behavior did not look like that of an honest and honest person.

"And after that?" The general asked.

"Da Zhuang was angry for several days, and then I don't know why, the housekeeper of the Xiao family came back to ask Da Zhuang to go back to be a coachman, and it is said that his salary has increased." The villager said.

After the dismissal turmoil, Da Zhuang returned to work at the Xiao family, and because of the proximity to Da Zhuang, the villagers overheard Da Zhuang talking ill of the Xiao family to his wife several times. At that time, everyone in the village knew the curse of the Xiao family, but at that time, the curse was only for people within the Xiao family, not for outsiders.

Da Zhuang said that he couldn't wait for all the Xiao family to die.

Not long after, a guest came to the Xiao family, and the Xiao family spent a lot of pomp to welcome those people, who knows, except for Xiao Lao, the Xiao family and those outsiders all died strangely and violently overnight.

And the strange thing is that Da Zhuang, who was secretly saying bad things about the Xiao family, actually sent food to Xiao Lao despite his wife's persuasion, and for this reason, Da Zhuang's wife ran away......
