Uncle Chen's words made me extremely stunned, I had seen a monkey in the courtyard last night, how could he hang himself on the beam of his house only a few hours later.

I didn't think much about it, so I took Ning Nanxi and followed the villagers and walked quickly in the direction of Hou's house.

By the time we arrived at Hou's house, the courtyard had been blocked from inside and outside, and there was a crying sound in the courtyard, which sounded like the voice of the monkey mother.

"Son, why can't you think about it so much, why did you hang yourself, why is this, how can I live if you die!"

The cry of the mother monkey was miserable and complaining, and the surrounding villagers couldn't stop wiping their tears.

The monkey's ancestors are foreign surnames, and they have been ostracized by the village before, and the monkey's father died of illness in the early years, so the Hou family has a very hard time.

The mother of the monkey worked in the field during the day, and when she came back at night, she had to sell the soles of her shoes to the county seat, and now she finally raised the monkey to adulthood, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen, which made it difficult for anyone to bear it.

Ning Nanxi and I followed the cry and squeezed into the crowd, and soon came to the door of the monkey's bedroom.

At this time, several police officers were investigating the cause of the monkey's death in the house, and the monkey was hanging from the beam of the house, his body was stiff and his arms were hanging down.

His face was bruised, as if he had been poisoned, and his tongue came out of his mouth, and he looked like a hanged ghost, and his eyes were bloodshot and as big as a bell.

"Comrade policeman, how did the Hou family kid die, did he commit suicide or did he kill him?" At this time, the village chief walked out of the crowd, looked at the police with tears in his eyes and asked.

The policeman glanced back at the village chief, handed the pen and paper he was recording in his hand to the colleague next to him, and said with a gloomy face: "According to the current situation, the deceased should have committed suicide, because there is no trace of prying on the door of the house, and the windows are closed from the inside, so it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to enter." ”

As the policeman was talking, one of the men in a white coat walked out of the house, walked to his side and whispered: "Zhao Ju, judging from the strangulation marks on the deceased's neck and the corpse spots on his body, the time of his death should be around eleven o'clock last night, and it has been seven hours since now, and it will take at least eight hours for the corpse spots to spread, and if they do not spread, it means that the time of death is within eight hours, which is also in line with our speculation." ”

Although the white-coated man's voice was weak, I could hear it clearly, and my heart instantly withdrew when I heard this, and my breathing began to become rapid.

It was already past twelve o'clock in the morning when it rained last night, but the man in the white coat said that the monkey died at eleven o'clock at night, and if the inference is correct, then the monkey I saw last night was not alive at all!

Thinking of what the monkey told me last night, I felt chills all over my body, he said that he was leaving, and said that he was going to another place, could it be that he said that walking means death, and this going to another place is to go to the underworld!

My mind went blank for a moment, and it took me two or three minutes to come to my senses.

If the monkey had really become a ghost at that time, then what he said to me could never have been false.

As the saying goes, the bird is dying, its song is also mourning, and the man's dying is also good.

Since the words spoken before death are all kind words, let alone dead, so what the monkey said to me last night on a rainy night must be true, and I must pay attention to it, otherwise our village may really suffer a catastrophe.

Ning Nanxi saw that my face was solemn, touched me with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, is there something on your mind?" ”

When I came back to my senses, I looked at Ning Nanxi and asked, "Miss Ning, do you think the monkey was killed by dirty things?" ”

Ning Nanxi didn't respond when he heard this, turned his head to look at the corpse, and shook his head after a while, saying that the death of the monkey should have nothing to do with dirty things.

Generally speaking, if the dirty things are harmful, they will definitely leave yin qi at the scene, but she checked around just now, whether it is in the house or in the courtyard, there is no yin qi left.

Besides, if it is really dirty and harmful, there is no need to use such troublesome means to harm people, so the monkey should have committed suicide for some reason, not by him.

After listening to Ning Nanxi's analysis, I remembered again what the monkey told me last night, he said that Chen Shuheng was killed by him, and he felt sorry for Chen Shuheng with guilt.

Could it be that the reason why he committed suicide was to forgive his sins and seek Chen Shuheng's forgiveness?

While pondering, the police had already removed the monkey's body from the beam of the house and was about to take it back to the police station for disembowelment to determine the cause of death, and finally we left Hou's house amid the heart-rending wails of the monkey mother.

Walking on the way home, I bowed my head and said nothing, and my mood sank to a low point.

I just learned about Chen Shuheng's death last night, and the monkey also died in his own home this morning, and I lost two childhood playmates in a row in just a dozen hours, and my heart was even more mixed, and my eyes were red unconsciously.

"The big man is still crying, I'm really not ashamed, I'm not ashamed!"

As he was walking, he heard Ning Nanxi's mocking sound in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, Ning Nanxi was constantly swinging his index finger on his cheek, making embarrassing gestures.

Seeing her sarcastic, I raised my hand to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, and shouted coldly: "What do you know about this girl!" Monkey and Shuheng have played with me since I was a child, and now that they are dead, can I not be sad in my heart, if I am not sad, then what is the difference between me and animals! ”

Ning Nanxi seemed to be frightened by my eyes and tone, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm joking with you, do you need to yell at me so much, by the way, you just said that two people died, who else died except for this young man who hanged himself?" ”

"The other one is named Chen Shuheng, the day before yesterday he went to fish in the river in the east of the village, but the boat capsized and fell into the water, and then he was drowned......"

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered what the monkey told me last night, he said that Chen Shuheng was not drowned in the water at all, but killed by him, and he was fascinated by ghosts at that time.

Although Ning Nanxi is not very old, she is smart and clever, and she is also a Dao law, so maybe she can analyze other useful clues by telling her about this.

Then I told Ning Nanxi about the previous meeting of Chen Shuheng outside the village and the monkey I saw last night, Ning Nanxi was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "According to what you say, Hou Dingchen's soul came to you before I came back last night?" ”

"That's right, it's almost the same as you, and you came back shortly after he disappeared." I looked at Ning Nanxi and said bluntly.

"Then why didn't you tell me the truth last night, according to the time, he had become a ghost by that time, if you had informed me earlier, maybe I would have been able to destroy him, now that so much time has passed, who knows where he fled to!" Ning Nanxi's face turned red, and he complained angrily.

Hearing Ning Nanxi's words and complaints, I said angrily: "How can I be blamed for this, how do I know that he was dead at the time, and besides, the things he said were unfounded at the time, if I told you, wouldn't it be a random rumor, so I didn't tell you." ”

Speaking of this, my emotions eased a little, and I continued: "But now it seems that Shuheng's death may really be related to the monkey, and the most important point is that he said that our village can no longer die, if there are any more dead people, it will become a dead end, and then the whole village will face disaster!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ning Nanxi's expression changed in shock, as if she had thought of something, and after a while, she suddenly said: "Could it be that this dead situation is related to the Feng Shui pattern of Coffin Mountain, I was puzzled before why your village can still be safe in such a fierce situation, and now it seems that this dead situation must have been manipulated by the masters, so the dead situation will become a life situation, if the life situation is broken, then the murderous situation will inevitably appear again, and your village will inevitably face annihilation!" ”

Ning Nanxi's words made me gasp, her analysis is indeed reasonable, but how should this dead end be solved, could it be that if our village really dies again, it will face disasters, but it is common for people to eat grains, grow old, sick and die, who can control this.

I told Ning Nanxi of the doubts in my heart, and Ning Nanxi raised his hand after hearing this, saying that the so-called dead people are not the cycle of life and death, but the people who have died horizontally.

Whether it is Chen Shuheng or a monkey, they are all people who have died unexpectedly, and only in this way can they turn the life situation into a death situation again.

"So someone is deliberately trying to turn this life situation back into a dead end? So what is his purpose in doing this? I looked at Ning Nanxi and asked.

Ning Nanxi turned his head and glanced at me, pouted and said: "This girl is a human being and not a fairy, how do I know what his purpose is for doing this, but this matter must not be taken lightly, since Hou Dingchen said that he killed Chen Shuheng, then the most important thing at present is to figure out what happened between them, only by peeling off the cocoon layer by layer can we know the truth of the matter, and the most important thing at present is to go to the county hospital to find your parents first, and then make a decision after taking them back." ”

As we spoke, we had already returned to the courtyard, and as soon as we entered the courtyard, we saw Li Hai standing in front of the door stretching his waist.

"What are you two doing early in the morning, the lonely man and widow must have done nothing good when you are sneaky!" Li Hai's eyes narrowed, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I have known Li Hai for so many years, and I am already familiar with his mouth, so I naturally don't care about what he says.

But Ning Nanxi is a girl after all, and she is thin-skinned, if she really leaves because of this, then I will not be completely dumbfounded.

Thinking of this, I immediately stepped forward and raised my leg and kicked Li Hai's buttocks, and shouted: "What nonsense, the monkey we saw last night hanged himself in his own house, we just came back from his house, and now we are going to go to the county hospital, hurry back to the house to pack up our things!" ”

Li Hai didn't dare to ask any more questions when he saw that my face was pale, and then we packed up our things and left the village and walked in the direction of the county seat.

Last night, the rain was pouring down, the mountain road was muddy, the road was difficult to walk, and the mud stained on the soles of his feet threw Ning Nanxi all over.

Fortunately, on the way, we met a farm tricycle going to the county seat, which sent us to the county seat smoothly.
