Chapter 9: Fengling Village (4)
Subsequently, Su Ming visited several households one after another, and while greeting them, he asked Lin Sheng's family if there had been any major conflicts with others.
The answer was no.
He basically ruled out the possibility of vendetta, but he didn't have time to investigate again, and it was dinner time.
So he had dinner together at the house of a hospitable villager, and when he heard that he planned to stay until Lin Sheng's family was properly handled, the other party invited him to stay here for a few days, and Su Ming agreed.
Not long after having dinner at the villager's house, Su Ming, who was lamenting how quickly he recovered his physical strength after eating, heard the village committee invite the whole village to participate in tonight's vote.
Nearly 100 households in Fengling Village, a total of about 200 people, went out to the ancestral hall one after another.
Su Ming was too lazy to participate in this kind of voting ceremony, anyway, he couldn't decide anything, it would be good to know the final result, it was better to take the opportunity to investigate the clues in the village.
But thinking of the blessing of the gods mentioned in the opening subtitles of the system, he is still going to go to the ancestral hall to see the statue, and maybe he can also make some other discoveries.
"Well, I don't know if the return of the resentful spirits in this scene will be related to the so-called blessing of the gods, the complete body will be blessed, and the dead can rest in peace, it feels weird, and I don't know which way the gods have such a rule......"
Soon, he arrived at the place, and some people had not yet arrived, so the vote had not yet begun, and the people from the village committee were still waiting.
Su Ming looked at the ancestral hall behind everyone in the village committee, and looked through the portal to the statue in the center of it.
Behind the smoke was a clay statue of the god, which was smeared with colorful paint, but it couldn't see the face clearly, but on the whole it didn't feel like some crooked evil god, but it was impossible for him to go in and take a closer look in front of so many people.
Retracting his gaze, the bored Su Ming turned his head around, listening to the noisy conversations of the villagers, trying to uncover useful information, and observing everywhere.
Who knows, when he turned back one time, he really made a discovery.
From a certain family, two groups of people have walked out one after another.
The first batch of people, Su Ming, remembered that they were already waiting in front of this ancestral hall, and the group of people who came out now, he recalled it and found that it was the family he saw in Lin Sheng's house before.
The young man in that family was very pale in face and lips, and the clothes on his body were also brand new, not like people who had lived here for a long time, but like him, he had come back from outside to attend Lin Sheng's funeral, and his parents' behavior was also a little abnormal, Su Ming was very impressed.
But at this moment, his parents who were behaving abnormally walked straight to the ancestral hall, and it seemed that they were also planning to participate in tonight's vote, but the young man actually went in the other direction.
I don't know if it's because he's not in good health, but his walking posture gives people a "sneaky" feeling.
"Look in that direction, it's going...... Lin Shengjia? Su Ming's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curle.
When the young man's parents had arrived, he glanced at the ancestral hall and the statue inside, and decided to follow the young man to have a look.
"This young man deduced from the existing information that he should be one of my playmates with Lin Sheng when he was a child, and it was very sad to see him crying at that time, I don't know what he wanted to do this time when no one was secretly going back."
Su Ming tried not to attract the attention of the villagers, pushing to the end of the crowd step by step, and then followed the young man.
Along the way, the young man turned back frequently, but at this time it was already dark, only the light from the windows of the village people, and Su Ming kept the distance, so he was never discovered.
The two of them went one after the other, and soon, the young man came to the door of Lin Sheng's house.
The door of Lin Sheng's house has not been locked for this time, but it is just hidden.
The young man looked back left and right, then opened the door and flashed in.
But just as Su Ming wanted to get closer, two extremely pale hands suddenly popped out from both sides of the door panel.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the door of the Lin family was slammed shut from the inside, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely silent.
Su Ming's throat rolled and stood in place in disbelief.
"That hand, how is it different from that young man's?"
His memory couldn't be wrong, after he compared it several times, those two hands were definitely not the young man who had just entered!
Don't......
The information he had collected earlier flashed in his mind, and Su Ming instinctively had an urge to turn around and leave.
"This hand is Lin Sheng's!"
"I'm going to go, is this a corpse or a ghost?"
Those two hands, when he saw them for the first time, his body inexplicably rose a chill, not that he was instinctively scared to that extent, he felt that it was more like a reminder or warning to players in a deep-sea game.
"Why did Lin Sheng suddenly appear? Did you make an agreement with this young man? ”
Whether it was to advance the mission or simply want to know the truth behind these events, Su Ming couldn't just run away.
He leaned over slowly and cautiously, but finally hesitated, and instead of going directly to Lin Sheng's house, he went into the house next door to his house, that is, the man's house before.
He remembered that the man had said that he could hear Lin Sheng's family talking through the wall.
He leaned cautiously against the wall, holding his breath.
But for some reason, I didn't hear anything, there was a dead silence over there, there was no movement at all, like there was no one at all.
But it was impossible, he saw the young man go in with his own eyes, and that kind of environment, even if he walked, should have a little movement, unless...... That young man is also a ghost?
Just as Su Ming began to wonder if the environment over there was surrounded by some kind of supernatural power from ghosts, which made it impossible to make a sound, he suddenly heard a voice.
Plop, like someone has fallen, or ...... Get on your knees?
"Brother Lin Sheng, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... I didn't expect ...... Can you really come back......"
Hearing this crying voice full of fear, Su Ming's mind suddenly reasoned out the picture.
The young man entered Lin Sheng's house with some kind of sneaky thoughts, but he didn't expect Lin Sheng's ghost to suddenly appear and close the door.
The sudden horror made the young man speechless, and then, with his ghost thoughts, he was frightened, and directly knelt on the ground and began to apologize to Lin Sheng's ghost and beg for mercy.
"It's you...... You did it! ”
Suddenly, a terrifying roar exploded in Su Ming's ears like a ghost's roar, making him can't help but stand on end.
Just when he thought that Lin Sheng's ghost was going to kill, the young man's voice suddenly came.
"Die!"
"Ah!!!!h
After the same loud shout, Su Ming heard a painful roar that seemed to be Lin Sheng's ghost, followed by the sound of the door being slammed open.
"Come on, everyone, Lin Sheng is back to kill, Lin Sheng's ghost is back to kill......"
The young man's panicked voice gradually faded away, and he should have gone to the ancestral hall villagers.
Hearing the sound from afar, Su Ming hurriedly rushed to Lin Sheng's house.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he couldn't help but gasp.
A pale man was pinned to the inside of the door panel by a slender object of unknown nature, swaying as the door panel moved.
His face was full of pain, but it was clear that he looked exactly like the person on Lin Sheng's portrait.
The man turned his head with difficulty to look at Su Ming who rushed over, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, his face full of tears was trembling, and he forcibly squeezed out a few words from his mouth:
"Brother Amin, help, me!"
