"Da Zhuang sent Xiao Yingfeng away?" I asked rhetorically.

The old god stick confirmed again that the day before the bad luck happened, the old god stick had already calculated it, and he knew that he was powerless to stop it, so he didn't tell Xiao Lao. I just hope they can spend the night in peace before leaving. He wandered outside the Xiao family's compound all night, but there was still something that surprised him.

At night, Da Zhuang pulled the ox cart to the outside of the Xiao family's compound, and then, Xiao Yingfeng quietly came out of the Xiao family's compound. They didn't talk, after Xiao Yingfeng climbed into the ox cart, Da Zhuang drove the ox forward, and the two of them disappeared into the vast night. The old god stick did not stop it, although Xiao Yingfeng was the source of the curse, it was a human life after all.

"According to the thinking of the time. The Xiao family knew that Xiao Yingfeng was the source of the curse, and they must have killed Xiao Yingfeng when she was a baby. Jiang Jun found another loophole in the old god's words.

Xiao Yingfeng was born forty years ago, in that era, patriarchy and superstition were extremely serious, and the Xiao family believed in the old god stick, which would definitely kill Xiao Yingfeng as a woman. The old god smiled and waved his hand: "The curse will not disappear because of the disappearance of a person, in this case, why kill a human life indiscriminately." The old god stared at me: "If I'm right, Xiao Yingfeng is dead now." "Wood is looking for a doctor.

I frowned, the old god stick stayed in this place in isolation, there was not even a signal here, but he actually knew that Xiao Yingfeng was dead.

Shen Nuo had just filled the old god stick with wine, and before he knew it, he was drunk by the old god stick again. The old god stick got up and pushed us out one by one, and I couldn't tell that the old god stick was old. It's drunk again, and the strength is not small. After pushing us out the door. The old god slammed the door shut.

As soon as we talked to the old god, our doubts were not solved, but we felt even more confused. In addition to Xiao Lao and Da Zhuang, there is one more weird person. Just as we were about to leave, the old god suddenly opened the door again. His face was flushed, and his eyes were clouded with alcohol.

"I suddenly found that you seem to have entered the Xiao family's compound." The old god burped: "Don't go in again, or else." Stay in the village, and in less than three days, you'll die. ”

I smiled slightly: "Old man, you should see it, I don't believe in these things. ”

The old god stick also smiled back: "Sooner or later, you will believe it." The old god stick suddenly looked at Shen Nuo's body: "Little girl, don't you believe it either." ”

Before Shen Nuo could answer, the old god stick beckoned to Shen Nuo and motioned for her to lean her ear over. Shen Nuo hesitated for a while, but still leaned his ear over, the old god stick didn't know what to say in Shen Nuo's ear, after finishing speaking, the old god stick closed the door again, this time, the old god stick no longer opened the door.

I asked Shen Nuo what the old god stick had said to her, and walked to the house of the old Chinese medicine doctor in the innermost part of the village. Shen Nuo was about to answer me, when a big yellow dog ran up to me and barked at us three times, Shen Nuo's face changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Jun also sensed that something was wrong with Shen Nuo.

"The old god stick told me that not long after we went out, we would meet a big yellow dog and bark at us three times." Shen Nuo said stunned.

Jiang Jun was stunned, and then, he smiled: "Coincidentally." ”

Shen Nuo took a deep breath: "He also said that we will meet a little black dog again in the future, and that dog will rush over and bite us." ”

After listening to what Shen Nuo said, we continued to move forward, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a little black dog squatting on the side of the road to see us, bark a few times, and then rush towards us. After Jiang Jun drove the dog away, he looked at me in shock, and my heart also waved.

"What else did he say to you?" I asked.

Shen Nuo's face was full of suspicion: "We will meet three men and two women, each carrying a hoe." ”

As we walked on, as the old man had said, five men with hoes came towards us, three men and two women. What shocked us was not only that, but what we encountered next, whether it was the number of people or gender matching, was exactly the same as what the old god told Shen Nuo!

The reason why I was shocked was because I ruled out the possibility that the old god stick would buy off the villagers like Da Zhuang. It is said in the past to buy one or two villagers, but it is a bit unreasonable to buy so many villagers, and people can buy it, but it is impossible for dogs to buy it.

The purpose of the old god stick couldn't be more obvious, I said that I don't believe in ghosts and gods, so he let me know through Shen Nuo that he really has some ability.

"Professor Li, what's going on?" Jiang Jun asked me.

I put away the surprise in my heart: "Let's talk about it later." The old Chinese medicine doctor's house has arrived. ”

As we walked along, before we knew it, we had come to a house at the foot of the innermost hill in the village, where, according to the villagers, the old Chinese medicine doctor lived.

The door was not closed, an old man and an old lady were sitting at the table eating, I knocked on the door, the old Chinese medicine doctor turned his head, a trace of surprise flashed on his face. I understand what the old Chinese medicine doctor is thinking, he knows everyone in the village, and there are too few outsiders, but this time there are three people in total, and he will inevitably be surprised.

The old Chinese medicine doctor stood up and asked who we were.

I thought about it and directly indicated my identity, after all, the old Chinese medicine doctor is a learned person, and he understands that although I am not a policeman, I am also here to investigate the case. There are different questioning techniques for each person's inquiry, and for the old Chinese medicine practitioners, it is most appropriate to indicate our identity.

Sure enough, the old Chinese medicine doctor immediately welcomed us.

The old lady was the wife of the old Chinese medicine doctor, and she put away all the dishes and plates on the table, and we sat at the table, and she sat on the small bench on the side, constantly filling the fire pit with firewood, and she was boiling water.

In order to inquire better, I first had a general understanding of the situation of the old Chinese medicine doctor. The old Chinese medicine doctor is also over sixty years old, he is high Chinese, when he was young, high Chinese was already a terrible thing, as for his medical skills, all learned from his father.

At that time, Western medicine mainly relied on higher education, and Chinese medicine mainly relied on family teaching and experience. He was a native of the village, and when he was young, he earned some money from medical treatment and moved to the city. He and his wife had three children, and the old Chinese medicine doctor had a vision, so in order to make the children's life better in the future, the old Chinese medicine doctor used the savings saved by his own medical treatment to send the three children to a school that imitated Western teaching.

But when that special period came, all those who were on the side of the West were condemned, and his three young stubborn children were thrown into the river and drowned. After that period, the old Chinese medicine doctor and his wife did not have any more children, but moved back to the village from the city to spend their old age well.

The old Chinese medicine doctor suffered a little miserable, and after a few words of comfort, I began my inquiry.

"Old doctor, I want to know the cause of death of the Xiao family and outsiders." I asked bluntly.

The old Chinese medicine doctor knew that we were here to investigate the case, so I asked this question, and he was not too surprised. The old Chinese medicine doctor thought about it carefully, and he told us that he had come into contact with several corpses of that kind before and after, but he had not found out the cause of death, and the old Chinese medicine doctor glanced out of the door and asked his wife to close the door.

After the door closed, the old Chinese medicine doctor sighed: "I always feel that those people died strangely, I suspected that they were poisoned at first, but their superficial features do not look like poisoning." The bleeding from the seven orifices was more like a blow to the brain, but there was no injury on the surface. ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor had the closest and most contact with the corpse, and I asked him to describe the appearance of the corpse in detail, but through the simple "bleeding from seven holes", I had no way to tell what the cause of death of the deceased was. Those people have been dead for a long time, and even if the bodies are dug out of the grave and sent to the identification center in the big city, it will be difficult to investigate the cause of death, not to mention that the people in the village may not let us dig the grave.

As I speculated, the old Chinese medicine doctor has a hand in Chinese medicine, but when it comes to the identification of corpses, it can only be based on superficial speculation.

"Old doctor, don't you believe the rumors of the curse?" Jiang Jun asked suddenly.

The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head: "I never believe in this, but the villagers believe it, and it's not good for me to go against everyone." ”

I scanned the room, and sure enough, there were no ashes bottles in the room.

"Actually, I suspect that all this was done by the old god stick and Xiao Yingfeng." The old Chinese medicine doctor suddenly spoke.
