Chapter 7 The Lying Aunt Liu
"Auntie, we heard that a girl was killed here a few days ago, and we also heard that someone saw zombies nearby, so we came to take a look out of curiosity. Tell us about it if you know! Ling Lan squatted down to close the distance between herself and the other party, and asked with curiosity.
"You young people just don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, can you be curious? If you don't get it right, it's fatal. You haven't seen that girl's death, it's miserable, and you don't know where the zombie came out, it's terrible..."
With Aunt Liu's emotional narration and reminder, Ling Lan learned more about the murder of the female corpse.
Just thinking about it, I heard Aunt Liu's tone suddenly fluctuate, and then shook her head slightly: "Forget it, saying it scares you." ”
"Auntie, even if there are zombies in this blue sky, they won't come out, don't worry, we're not afraid." Ling Lan immediately spoke.
Listening to her soft tone and looking at her sparkling eyes, Mo Ziyu found out for the first time that she could coax people.
After a little hesitation, Aunt Liu put the washed clothes into the wooden basin, raised her eyes and looked at Mo Ziyu, quickly looked away, took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "In the early morning of the day I found the female corpse, the sky was just dawning, and I came to the river to fetch water and vaguely found that there was a shadow jumping in the grove over there. I thought I was wrong, and I ran over to check it out of curiosity, but it was okay not to see it, and it almost scared me to death after seeing it clearly, that thing looked like a person from the back, but it was a green fang, and the nails were long and sharp, and I was so scared that I sat on the ground on the spot and didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, but fortunately, the zombie didn't find me, and jumped into the woods..."
Aunt Liu trembled slightly, her face was pale, and she still looked very scared.
Mo Ziyu, who had always been silent, changed slightly, and strode closer to ask.
Seeing this, Ling Lan immediately helped Aunt Liu to stand up before him: "Are you okay?" It's so scary, I didn't expect there to be zombies. ”
Mo Ziyu frowned slightly, he didn't understand why Ling Lan stopped him from asking about the specific situation.
Aunt Liu said a few more words and asked to go back, and Ling Lan motioned for Mo Ziyu to carry the wooden barrel containing the clothes and send it to Aunt Liu.
At first, Aunt Liu refused, but it was difficult to refuse, so she could only be supported by Ling Lan and walked back.
On the way, we chatted about some other things, such as the poor people living in the houses here, and they do some work in the capital on weekdays to make a living.
Since the accident a few days ago, the people here have been frightened, and most of them have moved away one after another, leaving only a few families who really have nowhere to go, and every day the sun just sets and locks the door, and the days are in a panic.
After a while, the three of them came to a fenced courtyard, and Ling Lan was about to say goodbye to Aunt Liu when she heard a rough and vicious shouting from a man in the house not far away!
"You who can't lay eggs, lose money, what's the use of Lao Tzu asking you? In the dare to twitter crooked old man fucking slaughtered you..."
Accompanied by unpleasant and harsh insults, there was a faint sound of tables and chairs and benches crashing, and then the woman whimpered low and begged for mercy.
Ling Lan frowned and prepared to go in, although she knew that this was a world where men were superior to women, she still couldn't accept it, and she had to take care of the bastards that happened under her nose.
Aunt Liu's expression was a little unnatural, and she quickly snatched the wooden barrel in Mo Ziyu's hand: "That, just send it here!" I'll go back and see what's wrong, it's probably my disobedient son who drank too much and said crazy things, you better leave quickly, don't come back in the future, in case you encounter terrible zombies, it's fatal. ”
While speaking, Aunt Liu had already pushed open the fence door and entered, and closed it heavily, and walked inside without looking back.
Obviously, this is to ask the two not to meddle in her family affairs.
Ling Lan clenched her hands into fists, and after opening the door and walking in, Ling Lan taught a few lessons, and her ears suddenly fell silent.
The man's vicious scolding and banging disappeared in an instant, leaving only the woman's miserable and painful whimper!
Men are inferior to women, Ling Lan silently wrote down in her heart, if she could, what she should do.
On the way back, Mo Ziyu pondered: "Do you think there is something wrong with that Aunt Liu?" ”
This was his guess after careful reflection.
Ling Lan, who looked out the window, immediately turned around and sat down, she didn't expect the other party to react so quickly, and her observation ability was also strong, if ordinary people heard Aunt Liu's words and didn't believe it, they had to believe half of it, after all, zombies had already been rumored.
"She's lying." Ling Lan replied firmly.
Mo Ziyu suddenly became interested, and a light appeared in her deep eyes.
"How are you sure?"
Ling Lan didn't respond immediately, but changed a few postures to find something more comfortable.
"When she first saw us, her vigilant appearance was a little exaggerated, at that time her eyes stayed on you, she should have thought you were familiar but didn't think of it for a while, and then she looked at you a few times, intentionally or unintentionally. I guess she must have seen you when you came to investigate, and it wasn't until she finally confirmed your identity after a few observations that she said she had seen a blue-faced fanged zombie. ”
"What do you mean, she said all that to me?" Mo Ziyu muttered, the thoughts in her mind spinning rapidly.
Ling Lan nodded noncommittally: "If I'm not mistaken, the rumors about zombies harming people came from Aunt Liu's mouth." ”
She had already discovered that Aunt Liu's demeanor was wrong, and the words she said from beginning to end could not stand scrutiny.
If Ling Lan's thoughts and guesses were true, what was the reason for Aunt Liu to do this? In an instant, Mo Ziyu recalled one thing, when they were standing at the gate of the fence courtyard, the rugged man inside was scolding, it was Aunt Liu's son...
Thinking about it, he leaned forward with his upper body, drew the curtain of the door, and whispered a few words to Tianyi outside.
Ling Lan leaned lazily on the corner, her hands playing with her fingertips.
In the past few days, she has occasionally observed her hands, which are fair and slender, soft and clean, obviously pampered, have not done any work, and are not hands that will be found when she has been wandering for a long time.
Unfortunately, she couldn't remember any memories of the body.
"Since Aunt Liu has a question, why did you stop me from asking at that time?"
Slowly retracting her thoughts, Ling Lan raised her eyes unhurriedly: "What do you want to ask?" ”
"Ask for more details about the green-faced fanged zombie she saw, and the direction the zombie left!"
Blinking her eyes, Ling Lan discovered for the first time that this man also had a silly side: "If you ask like this, she will rack her brains to make up lies to answer you, there are only two results."
First, she will be incoherent, knowing that she can't speak clearly, and then she will be vigilant, worried that she will be suspected by you and may move away. Second, she said that she was so impenetrable that you could hear a whole fake story. ”
Mo Ziyu's slightly frowning eyebrows stretched, her deep eyes gradually became clearer, and the light in her eyes changed from exploration to meaning.
