Mother Li made a final summary of tonight's gossip in one sentence: "Since then, no one has seen too Huaihan." ”

Wang Qiuyue listened to the rice bowl and asked curiously: "A big living person just disappeared like this, is Mrs. Yu willing to give up?" ”

Mother Li pursed her lips and said: "How can it, she is a person who can knock out a strip of eggs without sewing, Mrs. Yu went to that house to make trouble, and said that it was that person abducted Yu Huaihan, and wanted to go to the police station to sue her, and asked that person to take out the money." As a result, the person was not a vegetarian either, and took out a message sent to her by Yu Huaihan, which was written very clearly, Yu Huaihan said that he couldn't stand Mrs. Yu anymore, didn't want to go home, and ran away by himself. ”

"Yu Huaihan was still a minor at the time, she was taken out to work without an ID card at all, the person was gone, the person who took her to work and the boss in the factory did not dare to speak out, Mrs. Yu went to make trouble a few times, got a little money, this matter passed, she took her son to live as usual, mentioning Yu Huaihan is scolding, saying that she has no conscience, and the family finally raised her, but she left without a hand, and she is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it."

When I returned to my room after eating, I opened the window and looked outside, the Li family had eaten early, and it was only six o'clock now, and it was almost dark outside at six o'clock.

I checked the people outside who were not listening to the corner, and said to Wang Qiuyue, "I'm going to go to the grove." ”

I always cared a little about the ghost hitting the wall and being tapped on the shoulder last night, there were too many people during the day, and the "ghost" might not come out, so I changed it to the evening, and planned to find out who was pretending to be a ghost, and whether these things were related to Yu Man.

If you want to act, Wang Qiuyue naturally goes together.

The two of us walked out hand in hand, ran into Li's mother, and greeted her with a smile: "Let's go for a walk in the village." ”

Wang Qiuyue added: "My husband is busy with work and rarely walks with me, so it's rare to have time this time." ”

Mother Li smiled and said, "Isn't it, don't look at us here in the countryside, but the scenery is really good, where are you going to go for a walk?" ”

I said, "I saw a nice view in the grove when I came, and I wanted to go and visit it." ”

Mother Li's face changed slightly, I was staring at her with good eyes, so naturally I wouldn't miss the change in her expression, and immediately asked, "What's wrong, is there anything inconvenient there?" ”

Mother Li hesitated again and again, and Li Wei, who suddenly appeared, came out of the room and answered with a grin: "The grove is haunted." ”

As he spoke, he gave me a look.

I immediately understood that he hadn't mentioned it before he came, and he hadn't passed by the grove when he came, and it was his personal matter that he bumped into a haunting, and the inner meaning of his words at this time was obviously that the haunting of the grove was already known to the whole village.

This does not correspond to what was previously known.

"What's going on, what's the haunting?" Wang Qiuyue said in fright and leaned her body on my arm.

After our advice, Li Wei did not tell the story of the ghost hitting the wall when he came, and at this time he opened his mouth and said to Li's mother: "Mom, don't hide it, I think this thing is fake." ”

There was Li Wei's gag, and Li's mother finally spoke: "Don't talk nonsense about children, you think it's fake, then it's really fake?" ”

Wang Qiuyue asked, "Auntie, what's going on with the haunting, is this...... You have to go through the grove to get in and out of the village, so don't you all go? ”

Mother Li said: "Ah Wei didn't make it clear, the haunted is not actually a grove, but a waterhole in the grove. ”

The grove sounds small in everyone's mouth, but it contains not only the forest, but also a pond behind the forest.

In the early years, the pond was contracted to raise fish and shrimp, but it is estimated that it did not raise a famous name, and it lost money, and finally it was gone, and the pond was abandoned.

Since it is not a necessary place in the village, you have to walk through the grove to get to the pond, so few people go there, except during the Chinese New Year.

Li Wei explained: "The ancestral shrine of our Li family is over there, Qianao Village was called Li Family Village a long time ago, and every family can talk about relatives, and now the Li family is still the most populous surname in the village, so every year during the New Year, the pond is lively, and they all go to worship their ancestors." ”

It is an exception when the Chinese New Year worships the ancestors, usually the place is deserted, and Li's mother is worried that we are walking in the woods, accidentally taking the wrong road, and walking to the side of the pond, what if something happens.

Li's mother believed Li Wei's words, and really regarded me as Li Wei's boss, thinking that whether Li Wei could climb up smoothly in the company depended on me.

I smiled while holding Wang Qiuyue's hand: "So it's not forbidden for people to go next to the pond, right?" ”

Li Wei said: "Of course it is not forbidden, it is a public place, and anyone can go there." ”

"That's good, Auntie, don't worry, Qiu Yue and I don't believe this, let's go for a walk."

Wang Qiuyue pushed me and said angrily: "Who said I don't believe it." ”

Mother Li said worriedly: "That's right, Manager He, don't be stubborn, that place is really evil." ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just go for a walk in the woods, not necessarily to the pond." ”

Until Wang Qiuyue and I were about to walk out of the door, we could still feel Mother Li's worried gaze.

Wang Qiuyue approached me and asked indefatigably, "Are you really going over there?" ”

I also lowered my voice and said, "Of course, don't you wonder how there are such widespread haunted rumors in a village, as if every household has verified the authenticity. ”

Wang Qiuyue is a smart person, and she is also a pillow person who knows me very well, and immediately understood what I really meant unspoken.

"Do you suspect that someone is hiding something under the rumors of a haunting?"

I nodded and said, "Because it's haunted, people don't usually go over there, and the year only goes during the Chinese New Year, if, I mean, if there really is some secret hidden in this village, isn't that a great environment?" ”

The so-called "dark under the lamp" is exactly like this, everyone in the village seems to live under the noses of others, and it seems that everyone has no secrets, but this place is ignored by everyone intentionally or unintentionally because it is haunted.
