84, the past
After greeting each other for a while, the village chief took people away, and then Su Zhiyuan suddenly said loudly: "Village chief! ”
When the village chief and his party turned around, Su Zhiyuan pointed to the dark night and asked, "Do you want to go back at night?" ”
"We ......" The village chief's face was embarrassed for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by a wry smile, "Thank you little brother for your concern, we won't go back at night." ”
"Then come in and live together," Su Zhiyuan said very naturally, "You can also tell us about what happened in the village in the evening." ”
As soon as they heard the mention of what happened in the village, the faces of several young men next to the village chief changed, and finally the village chief took the words back, "Thank you, little brother, we ...... We won't bother, you have a good rest, and I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning. ”
After saying these words, the village chief and his party left, looking at them in a hurry, as if something terrible was chasing them behind them.
When they saw the village chief and the others disappear into the night, everyone turned around and prepared to go back to the inn to rest, when they suddenly found the shopkeeper standing at the gate, staring at them without saying a word.
It wasn't until they got closer that they realized that the shopkeeper had been staring at the direction where the village chief and the others had left, and there was a hint of indescribable strangeness in his eyes.
Disgust, and ...... I can't hide my fear.
"Brother Liu," Zhou Rong naturally saw the strangeness of the shopkeeper, he obviously knew the village chief and others, and his impression of the latter was very bad, otherwise he wouldn't have let the door in.
Thinking of the woman I saw in the afternoon, and the words of the old man who handed over the cigarette, it seems that the people who came out of Xiaoshijian Village are very unpopular in Anping Town.
It is not a specific person who is targeted, but the entire village of Xiaoshijian.
This village ...... What happened?
The shopkeeper who was called by Zhou Rong woke up like a dream, and he subconsciously shivered, all of which was secretly seen by several people.
"Brother Liu," Zhou Rong's attitude was very good, and he was very close, and he glanced in the direction where the shopkeeper was looking, pretending to be curious and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
The shopkeeper rolled his throat, first pursed his lips, and then said quickly in a deep voice, "You guys come in first, come in." ”
As soon as the last man entered the inn, the shopkeeper closed the door, and then he paused, as if uneasy, and found a long stick to hold the door from the inside.
After doing all this, the shopkeeper's originally nervous face eased slightly, and he cautiously leaned down on the crack in the door to look out, and after a while, he retracted his neck.
"You guys from outside, how did you get involved with them?" The shopkeeper who had just come back to his senses looked at a few people and said, his tone was not very polite.
"We're coming back to visit relatives," Jiang Zhongyi was closest to the shopkeeper, so he was ready to prevaricate after thinking of a simple excuse, and he continued: "We have been floating away for many years, and this time we are going back to our hometown to live in ......."
But I didn't expect that-
"You're lying!"
The shopkeeper's face darkened, and his expression seemed to swallow Jiang Zhongyi in one gulp, and his next words instantly stunned everyone.
"It's impossible that anyone is still willing to go back to that village," the shopkeeper looked nervous, glared at Jiang Zhongyi, and almost jumped out word by word: "The people who are willing to go back to that place are dead!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Zhongyi's expression froze instantly.
In the end, Pei Gan slowly opened his mouth and relieved Jiang Zhongyi, "Shop," Pei Gan spoke very slowly, but very imposingly, he looked into the eyes of the shopkeeper, and said sincerely: "I can't hide it, we were invited to solve one thing for Xiaoshijian Village."
The shopkeeper didn't ask the reason for the matter, as if he recognized that the incident in the mouth of the visitor was the one in his cognition, and said with an eager expression: "Old man, you are confused!" ”
"Then the matter of Xiaoshijian Village is also something you can get involved in?"
"That's a curse!" The shopkeeper suddenly became excited, his hands clenched into fists, and green tendons appeared on his neck, "It's those people who died in vain who came to their Xiaoshijian Village to collect debts!" ”
Zhou Rong looked at the shopkeeper, the excitement he showed was not only because of fear, but also because of some anger inside, it seemed that something must have happened in Xiaoshijian Village before.
This not only led to the curse of the so-called undead man, but also made people in the vicinity hostile to people from Xiaoshijian Village, even a lonely woman who had lost her husband.
Thinking of this, Zhou Rong asked in a low voice, "This little Shijian Village....... What happened? ”
With a sigh, the shopkeeper pulled out a bench and sat down slowly, an oil lamp burning on the table, and the occasional wind blew, and his face was reflected in the shaking of the flames.
"It all started 20 years ago," he said, "his voice became different from before, as if he was stuck in a distant memory.
"Xiaoshijian Village is located in the middle of the mountains, in a remote area, and its development is very slow, and the villagers have relied on fishing and hunting for their livelihood for generations."
"But many years ago, the downstream Jialan River was dammed and dammed, and the construction of a reservoir has greatly affected the fishing industry, which is already a poor and remote area, and now it is even worse," he sighed and shook his head slowly, "Where is there a woman who wants to marry here." ”
"But no woman can't do it, unfilial piety is great, and every family can't cut off the incense, so someone proposed to find a woman from the outside to come back," the shopkeeper sneered, and suddenly explained: "It's said that it's looking for, but it's actually a deception, it's a kidnapping." ”
"But the women are not stupid, they were deceived, and after being abducted here, they found that the situation was completely different from what they promised before, or imagined, so they wanted to go home, and they made a lot of noise and even secretly ran away if they were not allowed to go home."
"But how can you escape, every family there has a single, all ...... Women are needed. ”
"Wherever they flee, hell awaits them."
Du Shiyu stood beside him, keenly observing that when the shopkeeper said this, his eyes suddenly exploded with a touch of fierceness, his two arms hanging down at his sides, and there were blue and purple veins floating on his clenched fists.
He was sympathetic to the women, to their miserable situation.
"And then?" Yu Man asked softly.
At this moment, she also restrained her previous indifferent attitude, which can be regarded as the last respect for those suffering women back then.
"There are no impermeable walls," the shopkeeper put his hand on the table, his expression slightly relieved, "Finally, according to the clues, the police found this village hidden in the mountains, and many people came that day, not only the police, but also many anxious parents who heard the news and were abducted their daughters. ”
"The parents of the girls were so angry that they broke through the police blockade and snatched the main perpetrator of the abduction from the police, and then beat them to death."
"It is said that the scene was very bloody, with flesh and dirt mixed together, and not even a whole body remained."
