Seeing that the other party was indeed sober, Shen Luo laughed dryly and said, "We just went to Feng Mansion to visit Master Feng, but the other party didn't seem to be very willing to see us, and he didn't show up from beginning to end." ”

Liu Sanxi sat up straight, "You guys, did you go to that ghost house?" ”

Shen Luo nodded, "Go, that place doesn't look much evil, at least we look quite ordinary, but it's a little colder." ”

Liu Sanxi sighed and said: "Don't you know that when there was a lot of trouble in the past, there were ghosts in the village in the old house of the Feng family every once in a while, and it was not until later that the people in the village bypassed there, and the old house of the Feng family stopped." Don't you dare to go any further, if you wake up the contents of the house, you will be in great trouble. ”

Shen Luo smiled, and did not puncture the other party's superstitious thoughts, she said: "I found a very strange question, so I want to ask you." ”

Liu Sanxi, who had recovered a little sober, nodded his head and motioned for Shen Luo to continue.

"I saw a statue of Guanyin in your house at the beginning, and I didn't pay much attention to it. But just now we also found the exact same statue of Guanyin from the old house of the Feng family, which is very strange, if I guess correctly, this should be the Guanyin who sent the child, right? ”

After listening to this, Liu Sanxi let out a long sigh and told the story.

Soon after the Feng family moved to Quliu Village, strange things happened in the village, the most strange of which was that no children were born in the village for several consecutive years.

Even a few couples who have recently married each other, no matter how hard they try, they can't conceive children.

Later, at the suggestion of the old Taoist priest in the village, every household offered to send the child Guanyin, and it didn't take long for someone to conceive a child.

But the risk of pregnancy and childbirth has always been high, with at least half of the 10 pregnant women losing their children, which the villagers attribute to the curse of the Feng family.

Shen Luo nodded, understood what was going on, and looked at Li Mi again.

Li Mi asked: "We saw a strong man in the old mansion of the Feng family, he must be forty or fifty years old, it shouldn't be the Feng family, doesn't it mean that the Feng family is so dead that only the old man Feng himself is left?" ”

Liu Sanxi hesitated for a while about this question, maybe it was because of the wine that made people courageous, he replied: "That person is Liang Kuan, the former housekeeper of the Feng family, in the disaster twenty years ago, he escaped because he went home to visit his relatives, and after he came back, he helped collect the bones of the fifty-seven members of the Feng family, and he also fulfilled the last bit of duty as a servant. But as a result, Liang Kuan fell seriously ill within two days of returning home, and it was said that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month. ”

After a while, Liang Kuan was better and was able to get out of bed and walk. He heard that the people in the village sometimes sent food to Mr. Feng, and sometimes he didn't, and Mr. Feng became more and more demented, he couldn't even use food, and he was so hungry that he was skinny. After all, Liang Kuan had received the favor of the old man, so he couldn't bear it, so he made him a delicious meal and sent it over. As a result, Liang Kuan did not return all night, and just when the villagers thought that he was going to look for him in the house, Liang Kuan appeared with Old Man Feng the next day. ”

It's just that Liang Kuan seems to have changed as a person, he has become as taciturn as Old Man Feng, and his eyes are terrifying, like a poisonous snake. His face was as pale as Old Man Feng, and he looked at the people in the village expressionlessly, until the people in the village were frightened away, he accompanied Master Feng to walk back to Feng's house slowly, and often let out an eerie laugh. ”

After Liu Sanxi finished speaking, Li Mi thought thoughtfully for a while and said: "From this point of view, Liang Kuan's temperament has changed dramatically overnight, it is indeed a little strange, where does he live in the village, we plan to visit." ”

Liu Sanxi glanced at Li Mi a little weirdly, "You're going to visit that madman?" Liang Kuan chattered all day long, and no one in the village paid attention to him, and many people deliberately moved away from his neighborhood, in order to live farther away, so as not to be cursed. Many people think that Liang Kuan's temperament has changed drastically, because he was cursed by the closed family! ”

Li Mi said: "I still have some things I want to ask him about the Feng family, and I believe that only he knows the truth." ”

Liu Sanxi muttered: "Why do I think that it is fake that you are looking for someone, and it is true that you are looking for the Feng family?" Isn't it also about treasures? ”

"Treasure?" Shen Luohu on the side was suspicious.

"No, that's wrong!" Liu Sanxi hurriedly changed his words and changed the topic: "Liang Kuan's place is a bit remote, you go to find the cripple, he also knows the way, I don't want to wade into this troubled water." ”

Seeing that Liu Sanxi resisted, Li Mi had no choice but to give up the idea of begging him to lead the way, beckoned Cao Shaocheng, and asked him to go out and find the cripple.

Liu Sanxi chatted with the two of them a few more words, got up and stretched, and slowly went back to bed.

"Did you hear what he said, the Feng family has treasures?" Shen Luo asked quietly.

"Maybe there is." Li Mi hummed, "The Feng family moved to Quliu Village decades ago, and then suddenly built a house of this size, which can only be a windfall, maybe it refers to this treasure." ”

After a pause, he added: "But listening to Liu Sanxi's tone, everyone in the village should know about it, but they don't know where the treasure is, and they haven't found it yet." And there have been more than one group of people who have come to look for treasure before, that's why he said that. ”

Shen Luo sighed, shook his head and said, "Whether it's a treasure or not, it doesn't have much to do with us." The top priority is to find Cui Qiu's whereabouts, otherwise Cui Shangshu will not have a good time. ”

Li Mi hummed, and at this time, Cao Shaocheng hurriedly returned from outside the hospital, alone.

"The cripple is gone!"

Cao Shaocheng brought back such news, which made Li Mi's eyelids jump, and he seemed to have a bad premonition.

"You've searched everywhere and found no cripples?" Li Mi asked.

Cao Shaocheng nodded affirmatively, "The village is so big, I asked all the villagers I could ask, and they all said that they hadn't seen the cripple since last night." I can't even ask whose house the cripple spent last night, and no one knows. ”

Li Mi wondered in his heart, how could the cripple suddenly disappear, even if he had something urgent to leave the village, he should have said hello to him, instead of leaving quietly for no reason.

If he was still in the village, where would he be? Why didn't anyone see him, did he go into the mountains or hiding, why did he hide?

Li Mi felt a headache and didn't plan to think about it so much, maybe the cripple just hadn't returned to Quliu Village for a long time, and he had gone into the mountains to hunt wild game and try it.

Liu Sanxi heard Cao Shaocheng's words, hesitated for a while, and said: "Forget it, since you want to find Liang Kuan, I can't lose the face of the cripple and show you the way to Liang Kuan's house." Ask for the rest. ”

As he spoke, Liu Sanxi poured a bowl of tea, dipped his index finger in it and drew a line on the table, indicating the location of Liang Kuan's house.

Li Mi thanked him, and at the same time asked Liu Sanxi to pay attention to the news of the cripple and inform himself as soon as he returned.

Before leaving, he asked about Cui Chu again, and took out the portrait, Liu Sanxi shook his head, saying that he had never heard of this person in the village, and no one else had entered the village recently.

Li Mi had no choice but to give up.

Subsequently, the three of them went out to Liang Kuan's house, and exchanged things about Quliu Village on the way.

"There's weirdness in this village, what do you think?" Cao Shaocheng said.

Li Mi nodded, "Judging from the grand gathering of the villagers last night, the blue brick paths that can be seen everywhere in Quliu Village, and the situation of Liu Sanxi's family, the villagers of Quliu Village are very rich. ”

"And the income of Quliu Village seems to be very secretive, they don't rely on farming to make money," Shen Luo added, "Whether it is the mountains before entering the village, or the long-abandoned plots of farmland in the village, there is no sign of crops being planted at all, and it is obvious that they have not been planed for some years." ”

Li Mi snorted, "Find an opportunity to figure out what the people in the village rely on to make a living." In addition, it is also necessary to find out whether there is a connection between the death cases that occurred after the tragedy of closing the family and destroying the door, and whether the murderer is the same. I always feel that Cui Chu's disappearance in this area is inseparable from Quliu Village, and even Cui Chu may have died in a corner of Quliu Village, and the murderer is in the village. ”

Li Mi had a guess in his heart, he felt that there should be more than one murderer in the tragedy of the closure of the family and the subsequent curse killing.

Looking at the tragic death of 57 members of the Feng family 20 years ago, it is obvious that the murderer deliberately retaliated, perhaps through poisoning, or some kind of acute infectious disease. Of course, after so many years, these are no longer detectable, and can only rely on reasoning.

In the following 20 years, people died in the village one after another, and most of them were outsiders who did not last more than seven days. If the murderer hates the Feng family, why should he attack people outside the village and enjoy the pleasure of indiscriminate killing? This is highly unlikely.

Li Mi once wondered if the murderer was deliberately creating terrifying rumors at the cost of killing people outside the village in order to cover up some kind of secret, but when the cripple said that people in the village would also be cursed and killed if they moved out of the village, he dispelled this idea.

At present, it seems that the possibility of two or more murderers is extremely high!

While Li Mi's brain was thinking quickly, the three of them passed by a courtyard, where a rich man in graceful clothes greeted them.

Li Mi stopped thinking and looked at the old man in front of him, not knowing what to call it.

"I'm the village chief of Quliu Village, and I heard that there are guests in the village, and if you don't entertain them well, please bear with me." The old man laughed.

Li Mi hurriedly saluted and said, "It turns out that you are the village head, and it is our rudeness to not come to visit you when we entered the village." ”

The village chief said, "Don't get in the way." The village is also lively with outsiders, but you should have heard the rumors, Quliu Village...... You can't stay for a long time, so you can eat and live at Sanxi's house these days, but don't miss the day, and you won't regret it when the time comes. ”

The village chief's words were very sincere, and Li Mi was also very frightened when he looked at him, as if something happened to the three of them in Quliu Village, which would have an irreparable impact on the reputation of Quliu Village.

Li Mi smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, village chief, we will leave in a few days, and we will never trouble you." ”

Then the three of them waved their hands, saying that they would visit the door another day and left in a hurry.

The village chief stood at the gate of the courtyard, smiling and watching them go away, until his back disappeared in the afterglow, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded.

Looking upstairs at the entrance of the village, a pair of eyes stared at Li Mi and the others' every move, and when they saw them walking towards Liang Kuan's house, they quickly waved the two-color flag in their hands to send a signal.

When he arrived at Liang Kuan's house, the other party had just returned from delivering food from Feng's house, and when he saw Li Mi and the others, he was stunned for a moment, and for the first time, he did not issue an eviction order, but invited them in.

Li Mi looked at the layout of Liang Kuan's house, in addition to the tables, chairs, pots and pans, and other things, there was also the Guanyin, who had already accumulated dust on the incense table, which showed that Liang Kuan's life was very monotonous.

Liang Kuan poured tea for the three of them, Li Mi put it to his mouth and took a sip, didn't dare to swallow it, and quietly spit it into his sleeve, beckoning the other party to sit down.

Li Mi said: "This time, I mainly want to ask about the things about the Feng family back then. ”
