Chapter 15, the weird is around!
"Since the internal strength is useful, maybe you can drive away the strange things in the second sister's body, but if you are not completely sure, it is better not to do it, lest you not kill the strange things, but hurt the second sister."
Xing Meng planned to get up, and his heart was heavy.
He stayed until late at night before going to bed, and it was midnight, the coldest part of the day.
After all, Xingfu is a big family, and every night the kitchen will prepare some supper, so that the nursing home or the owner of the house who patrols at night will not be hungry, and they can be supplied at any time.
The cook is a sturdy woman in her forties, everyone calls him Aunt Li, today, Aunt Li also prepares supper normally, puts it in the steamer to heat, and then prepares to go back to rest.
It is not far from the back kitchen to the courtyard where the next person lives, about ten minutes away, and Aunt Li has long been familiar with the road.
"Hey, why haven't you arrived yet?" Aunt Li wiped the sweat on her head, her body was a little steaming, and she was a little tired from walking.
"Are you too tired these days?" Aunt Li shook her head and continued to walk forward, walking for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly became a little nervous.
It was so silent that there was no sound from anyone and no night birds.
She couldn't help beating the drum in her heart, shouldn't she be a ghost hitting the wall, some time ago, Sister Qiuxia in her hometown was beaten to the ghost wall and walked to death, and when she found the body the next day, both feet showed bloody stubble.
"You can't think about it, you can't think about it...... Aunt Li patted her thick chest and pulled herself back from her crankiness.
Click!
What was that?
Click!
Click!
…… Click!
It was like the sound of stones falling into the water.
But where did the stone come from, and there was no water.
Aunt Li thought that she was hallucinating, so she didn't care, settled down, and continued walking. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the garden on her right, the well that had fallen into disrepair and was not much in use, and the sound of clattering seemed to come from there.
That well doesn't seem to be used much, right?
The well was covered with a large slab of stone, now half cracked, and the other half was thrown on the ground.
Aunt Li hesitated for a moment, but decided to go over and pick up the other half and cover it on the well, so as not to fall down the cats and dogs in the house.
In the back kitchen, she washed the vegetables and raised a lot of strength, Aunt Li easily picked up the slate and was about to put it on the well, when she suddenly heard a bubbling sound, and something seemed to come up in the well.
Aunt Li looked down curiously, and saw a pair of red embroidered shoes floating in the well water, pushed by the current, whirling, and spinning.
I can't help but feel nervous, in folklore, red embroidered shoes are not a mascot, and if you see this thing in the middle of the night, you will be unlucky.
"Phew!" Aunt Li stuck out her tongue and spat, symbolically driving away bad luck.
"Let's go back to sleep, panic." Aunt Li wanted to look away, but she was shocked to find that the embroidered shoes in the well seemed to have some kind of magic that attracted her, as if there was an arm that grabbed her and prevented her from leaving.
……
……
"Ahh
A piercing scream pierced the silence of the morning.
When the surrounding subordinates heard the movement, they rushed over one after another, and their faces changed in unison.
Everyone saw that Aunt Li was stuck in the well upside down, her buttocks and legs were exposed outside the well, and her head was stuck in the cold well water, obviously out of breath.
One hand is propped up on the edge of the well, and the other hand is stretched out into the well.
On the stone wall at the mouth of the well, there are blood marks, as if they were scratched by hand.
This strange scene scared everyone to move.
The two servants hurriedly went to inform the head of the house.
After a while, Xing Gui'an and Xing Mengdu came in a hurry.
"Who found out?" Xing Gui'an frowned and asked.
"It's me." A chubby maid, with a pale face, said in a trembling voice: "I came over just now and saw a person lying at the mouth of the well, so I came to take a look, and the result was ...... I saw that it was Aunt Li, and she didn't move. ”
"Lao Cheng, you take someone to inform the county government, and report to the official first." Xing Gui'an instructed: "When the county government is about to come, then move the corpse." ”
When Uncle Cheng heard this, he hurriedly went to report to the official.
Xing Meng's eyes narrowed slightly, with a strong sense of crisis, he originally thought that the weird and dangerous was not too close to him, but now it seems that he was wrong, and the weird has come to his own disaster.
People's lives were at stake, and the people of the county government did not dare to delay, and they came to Xingfu in less than half an hour.
There were three catchers, one old and two young.
After greeting Xing Gui'an, the old catcher quickly circled around the wellhead and instructed the two young catchers to quickly fish out the body.
"Ahh After the body was fished out, one of the young catchers was surprised, and the surrounding people let out a riotous scream.
Xing Meng looked at it.
Aunt Li'er's body was bare from her neck to her entire head, leaving only her skull exposed, and all her flesh and blood were gone.
It's as if something evil was hiding in the well water and gnawed Aunt Li'er's head to the ground.
Moreover, the hand stretched out in the well was holding an embroidered shoe, the bright red color was very bright, like a bright peony open.
"Master Xing, is there a woman wearing these red embroidered shoes in the house?" The old catcher asked with a frown.
Somehow, a trace of gloom passed through the old catcher's heart, and this embroidered shoe gave people a weird and gloomy feeling, and compared with ordinary cases, there were more evil colors.
"I don't know, red embroidered shoes are only available to women who are married, and no one in the house is about to get married." Xing Gui'an said.
"Okay, then it's convenient for the head of the Xing family, I want to check the surrounding environment of the deceased and question the people in the house." The old catcher spoke very politely.
"Yes, our Xing family will fully cooperate." Xing Gui'an said.
After that, Lao Yu quickly began to check the environment around the well, and questioned the people who had seen Aunt Li yesterday one by one, and kept busy until the evening.
Lao Yu quickly asked a few subordinates to help carry the body to the county office, and the specific results will not be known until the autopsy is done.
Before leaving, Lao Yu quickly pulled Xing Gui'an to the side and whispered, telling Xing Fu to take precautions, I am afraid that he has caused something unclean.
Xing Gui'an didn't say much, but his face was gloomy and terrifying.
The entire Xingfu was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere, and everyone looked gloomy and vigilant, for fear of being contaminated by something inhostenent.
It's no wonder that Aunt Li'er's death was too miserable, her head didn't know what was gnawed away, and she was still holding an embroidered shoe in her hand, no matter who it was, she would imagine it in a weird direction.
Xing Meng stood under the eaves, looking at the sunset, the afterglow was sprinkled, and a question involuntarily arose in his heart: Is the killing of Aunt Li the same thing as the one that caused the second sister to fall ill?
Until now, he had never really seen the true appearance of the 'weird', and the more he couldn't see or touch something, the more terrifying it became.
If it is a Jiangyang thief who robs and kills people, even if the other party is very powerful, he will always know who the enemy is, and he will be more steady.
However, if it is 'weird', it will make people uneasy.
At night, everyone in Xingfu no longer stayed outside, closed the doors and windows, and even if the weather was not cold, they took out the quilt and wrapped themselves tightly, even hiding their heads in the quilt.
The slightest sound of wind blew by, and people were frightened and their hearts were pounding.
"Crunch!"
The sound of the door opening.
The night wind whirred in through the open portal.
Xing Meng suddenly became alert.
He hasn't fallen asleep, he's closing his eyes and thinking about how to break the game, and because of Aunt Li'er's matter, he has a strong sense of vigilance, and he doesn't plan to sleep unless he can't stay up.
But now, the door creaked open. The point is, he had already locked the door inside, how could it be opened?
The temperature in the room, at this moment, also seemed to drop by a few degrees.
