43. There's a dog in the tank
Sister Hu covered her mouth and said happily: "This guest officer doesn't have to be polite, just ask any questions." ”
It seems that Sister Hu is better at talking than Aunt Wang, at least she is straightforward and does not shy away.
He Yiliu took advantage of the situation and said: "May I ask the eldest sister, from last night to today, have you ever seen Niu Er?"
"Niu Er, I didn't see it. Unexpectedly, Sister Hu's answer was absolutely refreshing and simple, and there was no more than that.
Wu Shan said: "We suspect that Niu Er has something to do with the murder of the coachman last night, if you know where Niu Er is, tell me quickly." ”
Wu Shan's temperament is really anxious, maybe he has too little experience, and for the murderer, he didn't see a word, so he pushed Niu Er out, which was a bit too hasty.
Wu Shan's eagerness is understandable, but it shouldn't be so reckless and hasty.
Sister Hu was stunned and said, "Do you suspect that Niu Er went to kill someone last night? No wonder I haven't seen him until now." She smacked her two eyebrows at Wu Shan, "Don't say it, this Niu Er is crazy and stupid, I can't see that I can kill people!"
Wu Shan argued: "We just suspected Niu Er, and we didn't say that Niu Er killed him. ”
He Yiliu found on the side that while talking to Wu Shan, Sister Hu's eyes had been looking at her left side, He Yiliu looked down, and the left side of Sister Hu was a large water tank, and the mouth of the tank was covered with two semicircular wooden lids.
He Yiliu seemed to understand a little, guessing that the water tank must not be full of water now.
Seeing He Yiliu walking towards the water tank, Sister Hu took the first step to stop in front of him, and said sharply: "This is my house, you are not allowed to search casually, once you touch the jars, you will have to double the compensation." ”
Wu Shan also discovered the special feature of the water tank, and took advantage of Sister Hu's inattention, and came to the water tank with an arrow step, looked at the tightly covered water tank, and glanced at Sister Hu slyly, "I dare to guarantee that this must be a living thing." ”
Sister Hu saw that the matter had been revealed, and she wanted to stop talking, so she had to sigh to herself.
Wu Shan smiled proudly, revealing his childlike innocence, he lifted off a few bricks on the wooden cover, and opened the wooden cover from the mouth of the cylinder with both hands and one by one-
"Wangwang!
A dog's head was exposed in the water tank, barking viciously at Wu Shan. Ha Yiliu was also taken aback.
What's going on, the tank doesn't have water, but a dog?
Sister Hu covered her mouth again and said: "My dog is naughty and weird, and he doesn't like the kennel we build for him, but he likes to hide it in the water tank." Wu Shan, be careful, it will bite if you are in a hurry. ”
After listening to this, He Yiliu also said happily: "It seems that this dog is very inhuman, and it is indeed different." ”
Wu Shan hurriedly covered the wooden cover again, and then pressed a few bricks on it, fortunately, there was a gap in the wooden cover, and the dog inside would not suffocate.
"No wonder I felt that something was missing as soon as I came in, it turned out that I didn't see your big yellow dog, but it was hiding in this water tank. Hehe, I can't think of it, it scares me. Wu Shan was embarrassed and embarrassed.
Sister Hu glanced at Wu Shan and said, "Do you think I will hide Niu Er in the water tank, don't say that Niu Er is not here with me, even if he is here, I will not hide him in this water tank." Sister Hu turned to He Yiliu again and looked at him in a daze, "This official, do you say yes?" ”
He Yiliu smiled awkwardly: "It makes sense." ”
The subconscious told He Yiliu that Sister Hu's words must have touched her, and there must be a key, and this key is like a white horse passing through a gap, fleeting.
Ha Yiliu let some kind of inspiration flash by without noticing, and it became farther and farther away.
In fact, He Yiliu really doesn't need to worry about this, he can just walk away, whether it is a haunted house or not, whether it robs or kills, these have nothing to do with He Yiliu, you can ignore it all again, anyway, He Yiliu's head is still resting on his neck.
But vaguely felt that everything that happened here did not seem to make him leave comfortably, because He Yiliu always felt that there was a dagger against his neck, it flashed with cold light, and if he was not careful, He Yiliu's head would move immediately.
"Brother, Niu Er is not here, what else do you have to ask, Aunt Hu seems to be a little annoying to us. Wu Shan interrupted He Yiliu's musings.
Sister Hu was indeed a little annoyed, looking at the two of them, the smile on her face that was still on her face also faded away.
He Yiliu knew that if she didn't leave, Sister Hu might get angry.
"Dude, are you going to stay in a haunted house for the night tonight?" Wu Shan asked, and He Yiliu could clearly hear his teeth chattering.
"Of course. He Yiliu smiled bitterly, laughing helplessly and miserably. "Because, it won't let me go, and I won't let it go, and instead of walking away without knowing and feeling uneasy, it's better to see with a bayonet and see who should go away quietly at last. ”
Ha Yiliu's teeth were also trembling, and this trembling was a kind of anger. As a top killer, cowardice and withdrawal are tantamount to suicide.
The darkness of the night covered the land again. The night always seems to come very quickly.
Ha Yiliu stood by the window of the haunted house.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the cold moonlight shines in through the broken window, shooting the river Yiliu into a sieve.
Ha Yiliu felt even more chilly than standing in the wind and rain last night.
Strange and unpredictable phantom, are you a human or a ghost, your ghost divine power can kill a mortal in the world thousands of times, but you chose to poison it, this is a despicable act only in the human world. If you killed the coachman completely to rob money, but why did you come to kill He Yiliu three times and twice, and what is there on He Yiliu that is worth killing.
Are you a human body on one side and a demon body on the other?
Could it be that this haunted house is the cemetery where you made money and killed you, and the strangers are the corpses hidden in your cemetery?
He Yiliu turned his head and stared at the closed door, as if he saw a pair of craggy and ugly hands slowly reaching out from outside the door, and the door was slowly opened, like a coffin lid in a cemetery being pushed open little by little.
There was wind outside the window, and the sound of the wind shouting was like the screaming of ghosts. Not far away, the sporadic lights in Wugou Village resemble the phosphorus ghost fires around the cemetery. And He Yiliu was surrounded by such an eerie place.
Fear, deep in the bone marrow.
The owner of this row of houses turned out to be the former village chief of Wugou Village, that is, Niu Er's father.
He Yiliu remembered Aunt Wang's words.
Why did Niu Er's father suddenly get tuberculosis and die, tuberculosis is a highly contagious plague, is he the only one in the whole village who has tuberculosis?
Why does Niu Er hate outsiders so much, and insists that outsiders are ghosts.
I didn't see Niu Er for a whole day, where did Niu Er go crazy?
Absconding in fear of crime?
"Do you think I'll hide Niu Er in the water tank, don't say that Niu Er is not here with me, even if he is here, I won't hide him in this water tank. ”
Sister Hu's words are very particular, and she must be hinting at something.
Ah, I see! Sister Hu wants to tell He Yiliu that Niu Er is in her house, but she won't hide it in the water tank. Where will it be hidden?
"My dog is naughty and weird, he doesn't like the kennel we build for him, he likes to hide it in the water tank. ”
Aha, I finally understood that Niu Ermo was not hidden in her kennel by Sister Hu. Yes, it must be the case, the dog is in the water tank, Niu Er is in the kennel, people usually only notice the place where they can hide in the house, but they never think that they can also hide people in the kennel.
He Yiliu smiled, not because he was too stupid, but because in this small village, there are people like Aunt Wang and Sister Hu who seem to be uneducated but full of wisdom. They have always been protecting Niu Er.
Ha Yiliu decided to get out of the haunted house, and it was on this night.
