After the camel left, we sat and discussed for a while. Listening to the camel say this, the Xiao family compound is definitely not simple, but we have to believe the so-called curse. That's also absolutely impossible. Jiang Jun asked me if I care, I thought about it, the Xiao family died so many people overnight, this may be some kind of infectious or hereditary acute disease, people have been dead for so many years, I am afraid the cause of death cannot be verified.

However, in the case of an infectious disease, the target should be all people, including villagers and outsiders. However, it is not only the villagers who have lived here for a long time who are fine, but also the outsiders who have come to live in the village for no more than three days, and only those who have stayed in the village for more than three days have died. This excludes the possibility that it is an infectious disease.

If one or two people died, it can be said that it was a coincidence, and the villagers were superstitious and spread false rumors until they became rumors today. However, there were more than one or two people who died, and the camel told us that after the Xiao family was destroyed, there were many outsiders who died at the beginning.

After that, the number of people who dared to come to the village gradually decreased, so almost no one died. But after more than ten years, it is inevitable that someone will have to pass through the village. It is inevitable that there will be some reasons why you will not be able to leave the village within three days, just like the outsider who was hit by heavy rains and mudslides a year ago.

And these people are not just dead. And the death is the same. The camel had seen the deaths of several people, but he did not dare to describe the details to us, only that they were bleeding from seven holes.

There are no such coincidences in the world, so it is likely that it was a premeditated murder. However, there is also something that does not make sense: the motive for the killing is unknown. If it is said to be a vendetta, it is unlikely, the people who come to the village are all unspecific groups or individuals, and it is impossible for the murderer to make a feud with so many random people who enter the village. And if it is for money, it is also unlikely, according to the camel, those who died. They were dressed very modestly, and they didn't bring anything of value into the village at all.

"Let's take a step at a time, I think, I want to find out the specific news of Xiao Yingfeng. We have to get in touch with the Xiao family compound and the villagers in this village. If it's really a homicide, I'll definitely find out the murderer. I said to Jiang Jun and Shen Nuo.

Shen Nuo didn't say anything, but Jiang Jun nodded one after another, he never forgot that he used to be a policeman, and eliminating violence and arresting murderers was what he wanted to do the most. Looking at my watch, it was already ten o'clock at night, Shen Nuo slept alone in a small room, and Jiang Jun and I were crammed into a small bed.

The temperature in the village was very low at night, and although the camels had prepared bedding for us, I slept coldly. The camel cleaned the house, and the bedding was clean, and there was no smell on it, and it was not until dawn the next day that we finally woke up. Crazy Division.

It was cloudy outside, and we went to the creek and pool behind the village to wash up. There is no running water in the village, and the villagers bring water back from the creek to drink or use water. The Tan Zi is very deep, and the water in the pool is very clean, reflecting the turquoise plants all around in the water.

Looking at this pool that I don't know how deep it is, I have a strange feeling in my heart.

After washing, we returned to the camel's house. We didn't know the village well, so we told him last night that he was coming to see us today. After the appointed time, the camel still did not come to us. Before we entered the village, we bought a lot of drinking water and dry food, but after listening to the camels, we were also worried that it was the water and food problems in the village that would kill so many people, so we only dared to eat the dry food and water we bought.

While waiting, I wanted to call Wen Ning and ask him to inform the local police station of the strange thing that happened in Xiaopan Village on my behalf, so that I could investigate.

But as soon as I took out my mobile phone, I found that my mobile phone had no signal, and asked Shen Nuo and Jiang Jun, and everyone's mobile phones were unexpectedly no signal. Jiang Jun ran a long way with his mobile phone, and when he came back, he told us that there was no signal in the entire Xiaopan village.

"When we came, the ox cart traveled a lot of mountain roads, and the temperature here is so low, it should not be low altitude." Shen Nuo said, rubbing her arms, Shen Nuo was in a hurry when he came, he didn't bring any luggage, and he was wearing the thinnest long sleeves: "In this kind of place, it's normal that there is no signal." ”

I nodded, and simply put my phone in my bag: "The camel didn't come to us, let's go out and ask for it ourselves, and go find the camel by the way." "I remember the camel saying that he went to the villagers to make a bed, and there were only about 30 families left in the whole village, and it was very easy to find the camel.

Before going out, I took out a coat of my own and draped it over Shen Nuo's body. Shen Nuo smiled gratefully and walked out without saying anything. Since I met Shen Nuo, in my eyes, Shen Nuo has changed twice. When I first met her, Shen Nuo's personality was too changeable, and he even seemed a little neurotic.

But after a few months, when I saw Shen Nuo in Yushi again, Shen Nuo not only cut his hair short, but also became more mature in temperament. That was the first change in Shen Nuo since I met Shen Nuo. And the second time, after Uncle Fan's death, Uncle Fan has been gone for several days, and I watched Shen Nuo's every move.

Shen Nuo seems to have quickly come out of the grief of Uncle Fan's death, I don't know what Uncle Fan said to Shen Nuo before he died, now Shen Nuo's character can no longer be described as mature, she gives people the feeling of stability. And this kind of almost lifeless steadiness is not at all like what a twenty-two or twenty-three-year-old girl should show.

Looking at Shen Nuo's back, I sighed. No matter how Shen Nuo changes, the only thing that remains unchanged is the sadness and loneliness in her heart. When I see Shen Nuo, I always think of the words I said inexplicably.

When we walked out of the camel's house, everyone in the village had already gotten up. Many men carried hoes to plough the fields, white smoke rose from the chimneys of several households, and the special smell of the countryside rushed to our faces, but before we had time to feel comfortable, we immediately became nervous again, because we passed by the Xiao family compound.

During the day, the waste wall outside the Xiao family's compound can be seen more clearly. The walls were more dilapidated than we had seen at night, the corners were covered with green moss, and there were long cracks in the walls. The area of the compound is very large, and the wall encloses it, occupying at least hundreds of square meters.

"Why did such a rich family choose to settle down in a village? It's perfectly possible to move to a big city. Jiang Jun wondered.

"I forgot to ask the camel, but when you see him, ask him." I replied.

The gate of the Xiao family's compound was not closed tightly like last night, but was half-hidden, revealing a crack. We were just about to leave to ask the villagers about the situation, when a tall and strong man suddenly walked straight towards the Xiao family's compound. He held a large bowl full of rice and vegetables.

The rice and vegetables are stirred together, and it looks a little disgusting. He staggered past us, as if he didn't see us, until he passed us, he turned his head slightly, and glanced at us coldly. The moment I looked at him, a chill instinctively emanated from my spine.

I suddenly thought of the description of the camel, this person should be the former coachman of the Xiao family: Da Zhuang. Sure enough, when he pushed open the gate of the Xiao family's compound, I was even more sure of his identity.

Jiang Jun frowned and said: "This person is really strange, looking at him, the chill in my heart rises unconsciously, and I always feel that he doesn't look like a living person." ”

Me: "Don't think too much, we listen to the camel too much, that's why we feel this way." "When the camel introduced us to the village and the strange people in the village, he rendered Da Zhuang and the Xiao family too weird, and was guided, plus Da Zhuang did behave abnormally, so we had the chill that we talked about with the camel.

When Da Zhuang passed by us, he lowered his head and glanced at him hurriedly, and I couldn't fully remember what he looked like. After entering the Xiao family's compound, Da Zhuang didn't close the door. Through the open gate, we saw at a glance the weeds all over the yard, among the weeds, there were several black cats lying on their stomachs, they all closed their eyes, if the guess was right, these cats were the ones we saw last night.

I thought for a moment: "Let's go in and have a look......"
