The footprint was too big, just in front of the door, the same as a gorilla's footprint, except that the tip of the footprint had a sharp scratch, clearly a claw.

I really can't think of what the hell this claw is, it's so long, if I have to say anything, it's the claw of Wolverine in the movie, it's just not that exaggerated.

The glutinous rice in the footprints was all blackened, not because it was blackened by mud, but because the whole body was black, like charcoal that had been burned by fire.

There is one in front of the door, and there may be one behind the window.

I hurriedly ran to the back of the store to take a look, and there was not only a pair, but also a pair of obviously symmetrical left and right paw prints!

I was scared enough.

What the hell is it? Could it be the howling thing left over from last night? It actually came to my store and circled around the store.

I took out my mobile phone to take pictures of the footprints, and took many photos in a row, from various angles, far and near, and then took out the tweezers to repair the computer, and sandwiched dozens of blackened glutinous rice grains and put them in a sealed bag for preservation.

I can't contact the leather-clad customer now, so when he comes back, you can consult him, keep the evidence, and identify it when the time comes.

After that, I swept away the rest of the rice, these footprints must not be left behind, otherwise it will scare others, and most importantly, I don't want others to gossip behind me.

Don't underestimate gossip in the countryside, some people who have encountered ominous events will be said to be broom stars, and rural people are superstitious, and they won't even be able to ask for a wife in the future.

This is by no means alarmist, the countryside is not like the city, it is completely a society of acquaintances, good things do not go out, evil things go thousands of miles, a little wind and grass, it doesn't take long to know it.

The last time I fell into the water with Hong Qingsheng's wife's coffin, there was already a little rumor spreading, but fortunately, the fact that I took the lead in fighting Gao Mingchang also left a positive impression in the hearts of the villagers, so it didn't spread too much.

After sweeping the rice, I took out some straw and spread it on it, sprinkled it on it, and set it on fire. Those black rice looked very wrong, and I didn't know if it was poisonous, so I didn't dare to be careless.

When everything was ready, I went home, and when I got to the door, I found a bunch of people gathered in front of my house, talking anxiously, and my parents were there.

From afar, I heard them say that they were gone, that the dog was dead or something, and asked my mother, "What are you talking about?"

My mother said to me with some horror: "Last night there were wolves in the village, and your uncle said that he saw a red-haired beast, and the old couple were scared enough. ”

"Red-haired wolf?" I thought of that footprint and couldn't help but shake my head, it was definitely not a wolf's footprint.

My dad also had a sad face and said to me: "Chun'er, let's come back and sleep tonight, Uncle Tingsheng's dog was bitten to death, and his head was eaten, he must have been wolfed, and the doors and windows of the store are thin, so it is not safe." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, I really heard the scream of the dog last night, and I couldn't help but beat the drum secretly in my heart, if the dog was really bitten to death by that thing, it would be too ruthless, it would definitely be a death, otherwise it would not be possible to have only one scream.

Thinking about the ghost thing that walked around me last night, and if it had come in, it would have eaten my head, and the thought of this made my back feel cold.

"You kid, why don't you reply?" Seeing that I didn't reply, my mother said to me a little reproachfully: "Your father asked you." ”

"No need." Where do I dare to live with home, in case that thing comes again, don't hurt my parents, so I quickly shook my head and said, "Mom, don't worry, I was afraid of thieves some time ago, I have strengthened the doors and windows, no problem." ”

"Then you have to be careful yourself, and call home if you have something." My dad didn't force it, looked at me a few times, and said, "Why are you looking so bad, are you sick?" ”

I was completely scared, so I had to continue to lie: "I stayed up late to repair the computer these days, I didn't sleep well, just rest for a few days." ”

I have always had some say at home, my parents saw that I insisted, and the store was only 100 meters away from home, so they didn't say anything more, just told me to be careful and not to go out at night.

And after a little more talking, they went home to breakfast. After breakfast, I slept on the recliner at home, straight into the afternoon.

When I returned to the store in the afternoon, I saw a man I had not expected to appear in the village at this time.

Gao Xiaolong.

The son of Gao Mingchang and Chai Jinhua.

is quite a handsome person, unlike Gao Mingchang or Chai Jinhua, putting aside his resentment against the Gao family, I have to admit that he is really handsome, with a bit of the temperament of a handsome Korean guy, and he is also very tasteful in dressing.

He came out of the village in a car, and he didn't know when he entered the village.

"Brother Chun, long time no see." Gao Xiaolong greeted me with a smile as he walked in, and handed me a cigarette.

As soon as I saw it, I didn't get angry, Nima, King Furong!

Driving a car, smoking well, and wearing high-grade clothes, this kind of life is simply what people in the mountains dream of, but they are not only not satisfied, but they disregard the moral bottom line for the sake of the future, and harm Hong Qingsheng's family.

And there has been news recently, saying that Gao Mingchang is very likely to be released on bail, in the end, Hong Qingsheng's wife committed suicide, and her children are also violating the policy first.

Now that Hong Qingsheng is crazy again, who will pursue it?

It really fulfills the old saying: good people don't live long, and bad people stink for thousands of years.

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Gao?"

I deliberately squeezed him, stretched out my hand to block his cigarette, and said: "You should smoke such a good cigarette yourself, I am a small ordinary person, how dare you let this high-ranking son worship cigarettes, it is too expensive, and it hurts to smoke it." ”

After speaking, I took out six yuan of white sand and took out one and ordered it on my own.

Gao Xiaolong was slightly stunned, sneered, and said, "It seems that Brother Chun is still angry with my father, yes, I understand." ”

"How dare I be angry with your father?" Seeing his breezy appearance, I was angry from the bottom of my heart and said: "The tragedy of the destruction of the family is in front of me, and the bones are not cold, I don't have the courage." ”

"The Hong family's incident was something my dad did wrong." Gao Xiaolong was not angry, and said: "Actually, I came today to make amends to Sister-in-law Mei Rong and burned some paper money for her." ”

Mei Rong is the name of Hong Qingsheng's wife, her full name is Hai Mei Rong, which is a very rare surname. After Hai Meirong's coffin fell into the water, the villagers made a mound at the location of her grave.

"Really?" I said in my heart that your Gao family is also weak-hearted, and you are afraid of retribution? choked him and said, "I hope Sister-in-law Mei Rong can forgive you for the sake of the face of those paper money." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Xiaolong's face finally changed, he opened his mouth, he wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes unconsciously glanced around, as if he was a little taboo.

Looking at his face, I sneered in my heart, I knew I was afraid? If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? Although Gao Mingchang did this, the people in the mountains pay attention to the repayment of a father's debt to the son, and you can't get out of it.

Gao Xiaolong groaned for a while, took out a fifty piece of money from his pocket and handed it to me, saying, "Brother Chun, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to charge a phone bill, the phone was down, don't mind helping with this." ”

I subconsciously wanted to say that the network was disconnected and couldn't be charged, and the Gao family's business felt disgusting and didn't want to do it. But before I could speak, I found that Gao Xiaolong's fifty yuan had a note sandwiched in it, and he also glanced at me.

My heart suddenly, it seems that Gao Xiaolong came today because he was a drunkard and didn't mean to drink, so he said: "The network is very stuck, you have to wait a little longer." With that, I took the money and put it in my pocket.

"It's okay, Brother Chun just charges, I won't wait, say goodbye." After Gao Xiaolong finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the store and drove away.

I muttered to myself, what did he mean by being so cautious in giving me a note?

I really wanted to take out the note and read it, but my intuition told me that it was not the time to read it, and he must have some scruples if he was so cautious, otherwise he would have to say something generously, and what would he do like a spy joint?

When I think of all those things like spirits and ghosts, I don't dare to look at them. I've never seen a ghost, but it's always a good idea to be careful.

It wasn't until the evening, when I sprinkled glutinous rice outside the store and closed the doors and windows, and the big rooster and the black tiger were also around, that I took out the note and read it, which read: At noon in seven days, see you at the fasting restaurant in front of the temple, about the Hong family, it is related to you, and it will be burned after reading.

My first reaction was that Gao Xiaolong wanted to buy me, but after thinking about it, I felt that I had nothing worth buying, Gao Mingchang basically wouldn't go through the legal process, and he didn't need any tainted witnesses.

"He probably wants to trouble me, does he?"

I muttered in my heart, but if I think about it carefully, Gao Mingchang's matter has already made a fuss, even if the Gao family wants to take revenge on me for beating them, they can't rush to this point in time, isn't it an extraneous branch?

Does he really have something to tell me that it has something to do with Hong Qingsheng's family?

But I didn't have anything to do with the Hong family before, if my mother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that "Killing Pig Hong" was originally surnamed Hong, and I always thought that his surname was Chen.

There is something strange about this, Gao Xiaolongshen is mysterious, and he seems to know something.

I was itching in my heart, and I slowly made up my mind to go in seven days. Since Hong Qingsheng's wife Hai Meirong committed suicide, there have been more and more strange things around me, and there is something to harm me inexplicably, maybe there is really some connection between me and the Hong family.

Moreover, the restaurant in front of the temple he made an appointment with is a Taoist temple in the town, and there are usually many pilgrims coming and going, as long as you pay attention, I believe he will not dare to mess around.

Burning the note, I trembled and passed another night, the night was peaceful, the big rooster and the black tiger were very calm, and after dawn I found that the glutinous rice sprinkled did not turn black, but attracted the chickens of the neighbors to come and grab food.

I made up for breakfast after breakfast, but before I could fully wake up, I was woken up by a person who roared urgently.

I woke up and looked at Ma Jialiang, so I asked him what he was doing in a hurry. Ma Jialiang's face was not good-looking, and he said, "Brother Chun, it's not good, Uncle Qingsheng is gone." ”

"What?"

I woke up and said, "What's going on? ”

"Yesterday morning, the person who went to deliver the meal to Uncle Qingsheng found that no one had touched the meal sent to Hong Qingsheng yesterday, and when he walked in to take a look, he found that Uncle Qingsheng was gone."

"Disappeared yesterday?" I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, last night it happened to be when the big-clawed monster appeared in the village, the dogs were all bitten to death, and Hong Qingsheng disappeared at that point in time, which made me have a bad premonition in my heart. If you can't get it, Hong Qingsheng will be killed by that monster.

"The village chief sent someone to look for it in the morning, but now no one has been found, Uncle Qingsheng's house has also been messed up, and there are some very strange things at the scene." When Ma Jialiang said this, his face was faintly pale.

"What's weird?" I asked.

Ma Jialiang swallowed his saliva and said, "It's like paw prints, I don't know what left it." ”

I chuckled in my heart, no, it must be the big claw. If Hong Qingsheng can't get it right, something really happened, and the first place where the howls last night appeared was the direction of Hong Qingsheng's house.
