85, we have had a leg
The shopkeeper paused when he said this, as if recalling the scene at that time, his expression couldn't help but be afraid, until he took the water bowl handed over by Zhou Rong and poured a few big sips before he calmed down again.
Dui Shiyu sat on the wooden chair, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "So....... Is Xiaoshijian Village cursed by those dead women? β
"Well," the shopkeeper nodded, "Soon after the police left, people began to disappear in Xiaoshijian Village, and no one thought about it at first, but as more and more people disappeared, someone realized that it was revenge from the dead women." β
"Especially......" his voice suddenly turned strange, and his lips twitched a few times, "after finding the bodies of those men." β
"What happened to the body?" It was Penfolds who spoke, and he shrunk back, his pupils slightly dilated, revealing a look of curiosity and fear.
"Corpse...... The corpse died in a terrible state," said the shopkeeper, who seemed to suddenly feel a little cold, and pulled the coat he was draped on before continuing: "It is said that some people have had their eyes and noses cut off, and some of their limbs have been broken and hung on trees, and the skin on their bodies has been completely peeled off and neatly folded, right under the tree...... In short, how miserable it is. β
"Tell me, can such a thing be done by a man?"
There is no doubt about the existence of ghosts in the so-called curse, at least for Su Zhiyuan and his party, the tasks they have experienced so far are all related to supernatural events.
"Crunchβ"
"Crunchβ"
A voice came from behind him, and following the voice, there was a faint light in the darkness, and a woman with a kerosene lamp slowly walked down the stairs.
The woman had a sallow face and was dressed plainly.
Zhou Rong recognized the woman at a glance as the wife of the shopkeeper.
The wooden staircase was in disrepair, and a dying whimper sounded as the woman walked.
The shopkeeper seemed to be very afraid of his wife, and when he saw the woman, he hurriedly stood up, and finally turned his head to the group and said: "Listen to my advice, no matter what the reason, don't have anything to do with those people and the village!" β
He stared at Zhou Rong's clothes, pursed his lips, raised his head and said in a very fast voice: "I can see that you are not ordinary people, but the things in that village are not something you can solve. β
Gritting his teeth, the shopkeeper seemed to have made a decision for everyone, "You guys have a good rest tonight, I'll send you away from the back door early tomorrow morning, and I won't accept you for the food and the money for living in the store, you should leave early, and don't come back." β
It can be seen that the shopkeeper is a very simple person, and he doesn't want everyone to be involved in the curse of Xiaoshijian Village and die in vain.
But he didn't understand that it was the task of Su Zhiyuan and his party to solve the curse.
If the curse cannot be lifted within the specified time, then these people in front of them will die.
Of course, these words cannot be said to the shopkeeper.
After saying these words, the shopkeeper helped the woman to leave, and Su Zhiyuan's eyes glanced at the woman's abdomen.
Under the plain clothes, the woman's abdomen bulged slightly, thinking that she was pregnant.
This explains why the shopkeeper was so nervous when he saw the woman walking down the stairs alone, because he was worried that something would happen.
After the shopkeeper and the woman left, everyone sat around the table and began to discuss the next step.
Naturally, they will not listen to the shopkeeper and leave, but as for what to do next, there are gradually two factions.
A few people led by the old man Pei Qian advocated being more conservative, and tomorrow they would not go to Xiaoshijian Village with the village chief, but would stay in Anping Town to continue to inquire about the news, and when the time was ripe, it would not be too late to go to the village.
However, Zhou Rong raised an objection, he advocated going to Xiaoshijian Village tomorrow, although the mission did not specify a time limit, but it should be sooner rather than later.
What's more, Anping Town is not a mission location, and the probability of finding clues is very low.
The two sides were at loggerheads, and no one could convince anyone.
Finally, it was proposed that everyone should vote by show of hands.
The proposal was approved.
Jiang Zhongyi slowly raised his hand and said, "I support Mr. Pei Gan's opinion, we ...... We should investigate clearly before we go, otherwise we will be rash and will ...... It's going to die. β
As soon as the words fell, Yu Man hugged his chest and sneered: "I agree, I will go to you tomorrow, and I will stay." β
After she finished saying this, she glanced at Zhou Rong, obviously with the intention of demonstrating.
After all, the two didn't deal with each other before.
There are also three people standing on Zhou Rong's side: Zhou Rong, Dui Shiyu, and Li Lu.
Li Lu looked soft and weak, and his voice was very quiet, but he was very resolute in going to Xiaoshijian Village.
This also made some of the rest of the people have a different opinion of her.
Next, Su Zhiyuan was left, and Penfolds did not express his position, and the attitude of these two people also determined the final choice of this team.
After all, they are not newcomers, so they naturally know that they must not part with this horror movie rule until the last minute.
Under the pressure of the eyes of both sides, Penfolds felt a lot of pressure.
He has a very clear understanding of himself, he is a follower, and the last mission was because he hugged his thighs to survive.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone in the team.
"I ...... I abstain," he whispered, glancing left and right.
Pei Qian glanced at him and didn't say anything, but Zhou Rong's eyes were a little cold when he looked at him.
After Penfolds found out, he didn't dare to look at Zhou Rong and chose to hide.
Below, only Su Zhiyuan remained.
His vote is crucial.
Pei Gan, who had always behaved relatively indifferent, was the first to speak: "This little brother," his voice was not loud, but it gave people a very credible feeling, "The choice you are about to make is likely to determine the life and death of our team, I hope you can be cautious." β
Zhou Rong saw Pei Qian speak, and he was not to be outdone, "Mr. Yin," he looked at Su Zhiyuan, and said eagerly: "I believe you must know how precious time is in the mission, although it is more risky for me to do this, but ......"
Su Zhiyuan sat on the wooden chair in the middle with a big grin, feeling the star-like gaze of the moon, he slowly pinched the water cup in his hand, but found that the cup was empty, he couldn't help frowning, and his mouth made a "tsk" sound.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhongyi immediately took the kettle and filled the cup in Su Zhiyuan's hand with great discernment.
After drinking the water in the cup with satisfaction, Su Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhongyi who was carrying the kettle in front of him with a satisfied expression, and then slowly said, "I support ......"
Jiang Zhongyi's face turned rosy with excitement.
"I support Zhou Rong," Su Zhiyuan said, "After all, Xiaolongnu is my good friend Yin, and we ......" He looked at Dui Shiyu very seriously.
"We've had a leg."
