Chapter 17: Clues
The missing girl's name is Wang Yuping, the granddaughter of the village chief, and she is seven years old.
The bridge was broken, the coffin was gone, Wang Yuping was missing, and the villagers in Dushui Village rejected us even more.
Some villagers guarded the broken bridge and prevented us from entering the village, and some villagers scattered to find Wang Yuping.
My mother and Miao Yi and I also followed the river to find the coffin.
The rain kept falling, and we searched for a long time, but finally found nothing.
My mother sat by the water's edge like a lost soul, her eyes were empty, and she muttered to herself: "Your father was also washed away in this river in such a downpour, for several months, no one died or a corpse, and now, your grandfather's coffin has also been washed away......"
She was in a bad state, and those things hit her so hard back then that I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it if she stayed here any longer.
Miao Yi also said: "Huanhuan, you send Aunt Chen back to rest first, I will stay and continue to look for it, the villagers of Dushui Village will not let you enter the village, but they will not stop me, if there is any news, I will contact you as soon as possible." ”
That's all there is to it for now.
I picked up my mother and said to Miao Yi, "I'm bothering you about this." ”
Miao Yi nodded and watched us leave.
When I got home, my mother collapsed, feverish, groggy and nightmares.
I rubbed her medicine and wine to cool her down, fed her cold medicine, and kept her to sleep until I was relieved.
It's still raining outside, and I'm afraid it won't stop for a while, and Miao Yi doesn't have any news there.
I sat at the counter and thought back to the bits and pieces that happened in the past two days, the matter started from the Dong family, and the timeline involved more than 20 years ago, what kind of relationship network is hidden behind the Dong family?
Mr. Dong died, and the clue seemed to be broken, but for me and my mother, the nightmare was just looming.
No, I can't just sit back and wait, I have to go and see Mr. Dong's body, search the Dong family villa again, and maybe find some clues.
Thinking of this, I left a note for my mother, put on a raincoat, and rode out on a small electric donkey.
When I hurried to Dong's house, I was confronted by a group of people dressed in linen and filial piety, screaming and running out of the villa, all panicking.
The black clouds above the Dong family's villa rolled, and seven streams of fire penetrated the black clouds and rushed straight to the villa, under the heavy rain, the villa was ignited instantly, and the fire soared to the sky in a blink of an eye.
Two whirlwinds, one black and one white, entangled on the roof of the villa with the light of the fire, and the wind roared like a ghost.
Countless small snakes twisted their bodies and sprang out of the villa, and the air was filled with the stench of burnt flesh.
Looking at all this in front of me, I vaguely realized that I was late, the formation that had supported the Dong family for more than 20 years was completely broken, and this fire destroyed everything.
At this point, I can't find anything to look up again.
With a bang, the Dong family's villa collapsed.
At the same time, the white whirlwind in the firelight disappeared in an instant.
The black whirlwind slowly landed, and the next moment, Mo Jiuqi's cold face appeared in front of me.
Holding a black umbrella in his hand, he looked at me condescendingly and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"And why are you here?" I asked rhetorically, "Mo Jiuqiu, what is your relationship with the Dong family?" Did you bury my grandfather's body in the coffin in the Dong family's old house? ”
Mo Jiuqi raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?" ”
I immediately said, "I believe it won't be you, after all, if you calculate my family, you won't save me back then." ”
"Huh." Mo Jiuqi laughed, lowered his head close to my ear, and said slowly: "That will disappoint you, your grandfather is indeed what I changed into that coffin." ”
