Chapter 22: Ghost Hook
Not long after Qin Yu returned to the Liu Clan's ancestral hall, he saw Xue Wan running over with a book.
Seeing that he was the only one, Qin Yu couldn't help asking:
"What about the other kids?"
Xue Wan scratched his head, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "I don't know where they went, maybe they went to work in the field." ”
Working in the fields? It's still raining outside, and these adults may be fine working in the rain, but they will never let their children go to the ground in this kind of weather.
"These kids weren't playful, so they didn't come."
When Xue Wan heard this, he grinned twice and didn't speak.
Seeing him like this, Qin Yu didn't know that he had guessed it, so he couldn't help but sigh and didn't say anything.
Since these children are playful and don't want to come, let them go, and you can't say that you can run to their house one by one and force them.
"Okay, let them go, you don't understand anything."
"Mr. Qin, about this paragraph.....
Xue Wan hurriedly put the book in his hand on the table, and began to point to the places he didn't understand in the book, and asked.
Although Qin Yu's coursework is not the best in Bailu Academy, the enlightenment and introductory textbooks are not difficult for him.
Regarding what Xue Wan didn't understand, he also tried to tell him in a simple way.
About half an hour passed, and Qin Yu finished explaining all the things that Xue Wan was puzzled about.
Xue Wan was puzzled, and happily cleaned up the books on the table, and saw that Mr. Qin's condition did not seem to be very good, so he was about to leave and let him have a good rest.
However, Qin Yu didn't intend to let him go like this, but walked to close the door. Then, under Xue Wan's curious gaze, he spoke:
"Xue Wan, I know that you are smart, and I have never regarded you as a child. So there are some things that I said directly, what did I come to Yunhe Village for, I think you should also listen to the people in the village. ”
"I heard that Mr. came here because of something in Wang Er's family." Xue Wan lowered his head and whispered.
"So how much do you know about this?"
"What Mr. wants to know, the disciple doesn't dare to hide it, but there is one thing, the disciple wants Mr. to promise me."
Qin Yu was silent for a while, and instead of refusing, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Xue Wan looked a little hesitant and was silent for a long time before he mustered up his courage, but his face was full of anger.
"Sir, it's the second king who is to blame, even if he dies, he is innocent!"
Hearing this, Qin Yu was startled, this was actually the words that came out of the mouth of a nine-year-old child, and he immediately shouted: "Do you know what you are talking about, where are all the sage books on weekdays." ”
"Sir, it's not that the student is willing to say this, but that this Wang Er is not a good person, and the reason why he has fallen to this point is completely self-inflicted!"
Xue Wan didn't take into account that Qin Yu was his teacher at this time, but seemed to be arguing for someone.
Qin Yu looked at Xue Wan with a solemn expression, and after a long while, he sighed and softened his tone.
"If Wang Er really takes the blame for himself as you said, then what about the safety of the other villagers, is it just for the sake of Wang Er, let this powerful ghost hurt people."
Xue Wan shook his head slowly and said softly:
"No, as long as Wang Er is dead, Sister Yanzi will not harm others, because all this is Wang Er's fault, and it is impossible to involve the people in the village."
The voice was very low, and it was almost impossible to hear it clearly, but Qin Yu was not an ordinary person, and he quickly caught the two key words in Central China: Sister Yanzi and Wang Er's fault.
Finally, useful news came out, and it seems that this Wang Er does know something.
After all, the child is still a child, and with a little temptation, he will tell the secret in his heart.
However, these news were far from enough, Qin Yu wanted to know what was going on here. What is it that made this girl named Yanzi actually kill Wang Er.
Qin Yu continued to ask: "Xue Wan, is this matter of Wang Er related to that girl named Yanzi, do you know the secret about this matter." ”
But this time, Xue Wan didn't speak, and after saluting respectfully, he turned around and left with a disappointed expression.
Such an abnormal behavior made Qin Yu a little surprised.
However, from these few sentences, it can be roughly known that the girl who drowned before should be this swallow, and what should be the relationship between Wang Er and this swallow.
"It seems that we still have to ask Wang Er's parents about things."
Qin Yu muttered to himself in a low voice, and was about to go out to inquire about the relationship carefully.
But at this moment, there was an old voice from outside the door.
"In this matter, you'd better not ask the people of the Wang family."
Qin Yu was stunned, he didn't expect Fu Bo to be at the door, and he also heard the previous conversation.
Walking out of the room, Qin Yu saw Fu Bo sitting in a rocking chair, his eyes full of vicissitudes, quietly watching the splash of water from the rain falling on the ground.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Yu stepped forward and asked:
"Fauber, listen to your tone, I seem to know something."
"When people live for a long time, they will inevitably know something. Mr. Qin, there are dozens of families in Yunhe Village, but most of them have moved from other places, so they don't know some local customs. ”
When Qin Yu heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he spoke: "Then the matter of Wang Er, is it related to the customs you said in your mouth. ”
Fu Bo sighed softly, his fingers gently tapped the armrest of the rattan chair under him, and after a long while, he said softly: "This swallow is the daughter of the old Liu family in the east of the village, and it has been convenient for Wang Er to have a marriage contract since she was a child. However, this Wang Er likes the second girl in the next village.
Because of this incident, the Wang family and the Liu family quarreled more than once, but the poor Yanzi girl was too affectionate for this Wang Er, and she was unwilling to dissolve the marriage contract, and this matter dragged on for half a year.
However, a month ago, while washing clothes by the river, the swallow accidentally fell into the water and drowned. But what did the people of the royal family do? didn't even arrive at the first seven of the swallow, and the second king married the second girl into the door, I'm afraid this is the reason why the second king was entangled by the swallow's soul. ”
Regarding this news, Qin Yu really didn't know.
"Do you mean that Wang Er killed Yanzi and married a new love, which led to Yanzi's becoming a wronged soul and asking for his life?" Qin Yu frowned, and said so, if this is the case, then this Wang Er is indeed as Xue Wan said, and he is innocent of death.
But at this time, Faubber shook his head with a wry smile.
"Yanzi, this girl did accidentally drown, and it has nothing to do with Wang Er."
"Fu Bo, I don't understand what you said, since it has nothing to do with Wang Er, why does this swallow's unjust soul haunt him."
"Didn't you tell me before, most of the people moved from other places, so they don't know the customs of Yunhe Village at all, and Wang Er is destroying the customs of this village, which is the main reason."
"Fu Bo, what are the customs of this Yunhe Village?"
"The customs of Yunhe Village? It's a little unreasonable to say, but it's actually .........."
Just when Qin Yu listened to Fu Bo talk about the local customs of Yunhe Village.
On the other hand, under the mediation of the village chief, a family not far from Wang's house vacated a room for Qin Yu to rest at night.
When Qin Yu left the Liu Clan's ancestral hall in the afternoon, he also came to see his situation once.
But Wang Er looked like he was half-asleep all day, and what he said was illogical.
Seeing him like this, Qin Yu couldn't say something he wanted to ask.
As for asking Wang Er's parents, Qin Yu also lost his mind under the persuasion of Fu Bo.
Night falls.
A thick layer of dark clouds drifted in the distance, and the rain gradually began to gather at this time
Qin Yu was lying on the bed, although he had stayed up all night yesterday and had only slept for a few hours during the day, but now he didn't feel any sleepiness at all.
The rain outside grew louder and the wind picked up.
An hour or two passed, in such an atmosphere, Qin Yu also began to gradually feel sleepy, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and at the moment when they were about to close, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly opened, and the corners of his mouth slowly showed a smile, and he muttered:
"It's really surprising to me, I didn't expect that I didn't even want to wait for a day, and I came tonight."
Inside the dark Yunhe Village.
Wang Er walked out of the door, he was originally weak, and he didn't know where the strength came from at the moment, with a warm and happy smile on his face, he stumbled towards the outside of the village.
And in front of Wang Er, a vague shadow was leading him out of the village,
The dog raised by the villagers in the village seemed to sense something, and at this time it did not have its previous fierce appearance, hiding in the nest with its tail between its legs, and let out a low whimper.
It seems that it has been a long-term mental tension, and many families in the village are not fully asleep, and they can faintly hear the strange sounds of their own dogs. This made them extremely frightened, but thinking of Mr. Qin's words during the day, they could only suppress the curiosity in their hearts, slammed their heads into the quilt, and did not dare to go out.
Wang Er's figure gradually disappeared into the rain curtain at night.
Not long after he left, Qin Yu also appeared at the entrance of the village with an umbrella, and after looking up at the vague back mountain, he slowly walked there.
