Chapter 32: What About the People in the Village?
Early the next morning, I left the small village and rushed home at the behest of their boss.
The road was very dull, I slept very comfortably, and since they still asked me in the future, that is, indirectly it means that I am safe now.
By the time I got back to the village, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was supposed to be a busy time for farming, but now there was no one in the fields outside the village, and there was no shadow at all.
"Stop, stop here." I said to the driver.
"Send you straight home, Mr. Mu, so you can save walking."
"No, just stop here, I have something to do."
At my request, the driver parked the car about 20 meters away from the entrance of the village.
I am very familiar with the village where I have lived for more than ten years, and most of the people in the village go out early and return late in the summer, and often I go out to buy goods, and every time I see a bunch of people working in the fields, but now it seems a little desolate.
Curious, I walked to the nearest wheat field and looked at it and found it all ripe.
This made me even more curious, and at the same time, a bad thought welled up in my heart.
I walked three steps and two steps to the entrance of the village, and when I was about ten meters away from the entrance of the village, I smelled a fishy smell.
"Is the old butcher at the entrance of the village killing pigs again?" The pattern of our village entrance is particularly like a gourd lying horizontally, there is a butcher living at the entrance of the village, the old man in the village said, the butcher is murderous, warding off evil spirits, and living here is equivalent to a guard guard.
And the price is that every time you kill a pig, the smell of fish will waft out.
This time I made a lot of money, and after going out for so long, Kui Ye should also come back, and I should also buy some meat to see him.
With this in mind, I turned my mind and turned around towards the butcher's house.
It's not far, it's not a few steps to the door.
"Lao Tu, open the door! What do you lock your door in broad daylight? "I tapped on the door of their house.
After waiting for a while, seeing that no one responded, I just thought it was a pig that had just been killed, and it was still deboning inside, so I increased my voice and strength.
"Old Tu! I'm here for pork! Open the door! "I squeaked at the door, and I thought he was going to open the door, but I sat in front of their house and waited.
But after waiting for a while, he still didn't open the door, and the rusty iron door was still locked, giving me an eerie feeling.
I was trembling, I could only go back first, and then talk about it after reading Kuiye.
I didn't see anyone along the way, not even the shadow of a dog.
Hurrying back to my house, thinking that I couldn't go empty-handed, I opened the supermarket, picked up a few boxes of food from it, and planned to go out.
When I turned my head, I found a woman about 20 years old standing straight behind me, staring at me with a pair of eyes, not afraid of being embarrassed, I almost scared out of heart disease.
After I came to my senses, I remembered that this girl was Li Ruyi, the daughter of the old Li family in the east of the village.
"! Why don't you make a sound? I said angrily, "You want to scare me to death? ”
Li Ruyi didn't reply, but Mu Na took out the money and handed it to me: "Give me candles and incense." ”
Looking at her outstretched straight hand, I was stunned: "Are you playing a puppet or a robot?" ”
I think this because he always does strange things, and the village is used to it.
Li Ruyi didn't pay attention to me, his eyes were still staring at me, and he repeated the sentence mechanically: "Give me candles and incense." ”
I don't know if it's because I've encountered a lot of things recently, I got goosebumps, and hurriedly ran in to get it, just thinking that he would leave quickly.
Stuffing the candle and incense into her hand, Li Ruyi seemed to have touched something, and the corners of her mouth smiled unnaturally: "Thank you." ”
By the time I recovered, she had already walked more than ten meters.
"By the way, there's no explanation now, why did you buy it?" I looked at Li Ruyi suspiciously.
Li Ruyi turned his head, and like an ordinary machine, he smiled very far-fetched: "Hungry, eat." ”
"You're not going to use a candle to burn a pot, are you?" I asked incredulously.
But Li Ruyi didn't reply to me, and walked straight to his house.
I don't understand why she did this, is it to experiment with boiling frogs in warm water?
But at the moment, I didn't worry so much, let's go and see if Kui Ye has come back first, and then I made up my mind, I locked the door and walked to Kui Ye's house with a gift.
Kui Ye's family lives in the innermost part of the village, which is also what the old village chief means, Kui Ye is a half-fairy, and the old butcher has a murderous aura, both of which are not easy to mess with, and can help the village avoid a large part of the trouble.
My family lives in the middle, but the village is not big, and you can walk to Kuiye's house in a few minutes.
Walking on the road, I felt a little hairy, there was no one in the village, there were no crops, where did this person go?
After walking for a while, I was already able to see the door of Kuiye's house, and to my surprise, I saw a few people at the door of Kuiye's house.
Three or four people sat on the side of the road, as if chattering, seeing this scene, my heart also relaxed, fortunately there are still people.
But when I got closer, I didn't hear anything. I thought they were whispering bad things about other people's families, so I didn't care.
When I got to them, I panicked, because I couldn't hear anything even in front of them!
Their faces were a little pale, as if they were very weak.
The mouths of these old people are moving, and their limbs are also moving, but it makes me feel very awkward, if I have to say how awkward, it is very blunt, just like Li Ruyi just now.
And now in front of them, these people have no reaction, usually at this time, they will happily call me the little boss, which can be regarded as a kind of ridicule.
And now, as if they didn't notice me, they are still "chattering" about themselves.
I always felt that something was wrong, and since I came back, everything has been weird.
I shook my head, don't care about these for now, anyway, Kui Ye's house is nearby, go and see him, if Kui Ye is at home, maybe he will know something.
I packed up and walked towards Kuiye's house, where there was a vine in front of their house, and it was cool to sit underneath in the summer.
After passing through the vines, I suddenly found that the gate of Kuiye's house was unlocked!
"Kui Ye is back!" I'm glad he's back, and that's all it takes!
I walked in with the gift and saw that the door of the main house of Kuiye's house was next to it, but the lock on the house was open.
"Grandpa Kui, I'm here to see you!" I said as I stood at the gate with a smile.
After waiting for a while, the door didn't open, I panicked a little, and said loudly again: "Kui...."
I didn't say it, because there was a withered hand behind me that covered my mouth!
