I asked, "Are there any old people in your village who are still alive and not experienced what happened back then?" ”

"Well, let me think about it......"

The village chief held his chin in thought for a while, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"I remember, Mama Li in the west of the village is still alive, maybe she can provide you with some information about the year!"

"Okay,"

I nodded, "Then take us there." ”

Mama Li's family lives in the south of Mingjia Village, she is over 80 years old, paralyzed in bed for many years, and is taken care of by a granddaughter.

When we explained our intentions and knew that we wanted to inquire about the Zheng family, Mama Li got up from the bed tremblingly, and a line of hot tears rolled out of her sunken eye sockets!

The old man's voice was hoarse, and I could only get closer to hear her words clearly.

"After so many years, I didn't expect anyone to remember my uncle's family!"

I couldn't help but be stunned, I didn't expect that this Mama Li and Zheng Youcai's family are still relatives, so let's say that we really found the right person this time!

Then, Mama Li lay on the bed and remembered intermittently, while her granddaughter acted as an interpreter, telling us more about what happened back then.

From Mama Li's mouth, we learned that the daughter of Zheng Youcai and his wife was named Zheng Nianci, who was smart and studious since she was a child, and Zheng Youcai loved her daughter very much, so she spent a lot of money to send her daughter to the capital to study in college, becoming the only college student in Mingjia Village at that time.

According to Zheng Youcai's plan, he originally planned to wait for his daughter to finish studying, let her stay in the capital, marry a noble child, and become a city wife.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Nianci secretly got mixed up with a migrant worker from other places, and even became pregnant with the worker's flesh and blood!

Zheng Youcai was furious, ran to the capital in person, pulled his daughter back, and strictly forbade her to walk out of Mingjia Village for half a step!

In that era, getting pregnant before marriage was an extremely disgraceful thing, not to mention that Zheng Youcai was a well-known figure in ten miles and eight towns, so he naturally knew the truth that family ugliness should not be publicized.

Therefore, Zheng Nianci's pregnancy, except for a few relatives of the Zheng family, the rest of the villagers did not know about it!

Mama Li was only five or six years old at the time, and she often went to Zheng Youcai's house to play, Zheng Nianci was locked up at home, very bored, and saw that Mama Li was a child, so she told her about her pregnancy.

After that, it happened that the homeless man set fire to the Zheng family, that is to say, in addition to Zheng Youcai's family of four, there was also the child in Zheng Nianci's belly!

No wonder, Zheng Youcai's family is so obsessed that they refuse to dissipate, it turns out that it is for their unborn grandson!

After thanking Mama Li, we walked out of her house to discuss what to do next.

"I have a question."

Lang Ni said: "Since Zheng Nianci's child is stillborn, why is the soul of the dead baby not with the Zheng family? ”

"Maybe only by finding the fetus can we solve the mystery and resolve the obsession of Zheng Youcai's family."

I thought what Lonnie said was very reasonable, and after a while, they asked the village chief again to gather the villagers together at the village chief's house.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I called you here this time mainly to learn about something."

Seeing that everyone was almost here, I stood up and said to everyone.

"I want to know, have any strange things happened to your village over the years, or have you seen anything strange?"

After listening to my question, the villagers whispered for a while, and soon a woman stepped forward.

"I had a strange encounter last year!"

The woman said that when she returned to Mingjia Village last year to visit relatives in other places, it was already midnight, and she was walking along the Heishui River to the village.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a naked baby with a green glow following her, a pair of inky eyes, staring at her!

"At that time, the baby looked to be only a few months old and had not yet been weaned, but he was walking along the river in the middle of the night, which really scared me to death!"

Recalling the scene at that time, the woman still had palpitations and kept patting her chest.

After screaming and running back, she had a high fever and was hospitalized for several days before recovering, and later talked about what happened to her, and her family said that she was burned and confused, and she didn't take it to heart, so she had to bury it in her heart.

"I've had something similar happen to me!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, another middle-aged man stood up and began to talk about the strange things that had happened to her.

"Just this summer, I went fishing in the Heishui River at night, but while fishing, I heard the constant sound of children frolicking in the water."

"I thought about how there could be children playing in the water in the middle of the night, so I followed the sound and walked over, and when I picked up the aquatic plants on the shore, I saw a monster with green hair, squatting in the water, giggling at me!"

The middle-aged man's face turned pale with a look of fear on his face.

Later, his experience was similar to that of the woman, and he immediately threw down the fishing rod and ran home, and then he fell seriously ill, and from then on he did not dare to go fishing in the river at night.

One villager after another stood up and said what they had seen and heard, and I was basically sure of what everyone said.

The glowing baby, the green-haired monster and the like that the villagers saw should be the fetus in Zheng Nianci's womb!

Now the only question is, why did the fetal soul not be trapped in the old mansion with the other souls of the Zheng family, but appeared outside the house?

I think that as long as I find the fetus, everything will be revealed.

After everyone dispersed, I discussed it with Bai Ze and the others, and a decision was quickly made.

Bai Ze and Hu Zihua went to guard outside the old mansion, staring at the four wisps of obsession, beware of them turning into ghosts again.

Akang, Cortana, and Tranquility go to the edge of the Blackwater River, pretending to be a fisherman, to lure the fetus to appear.

Lonnie and I sat at the village chief's house, coordinating all aspects of the situation and protecting the villagers, while continuing to investigate the affairs of the Zheng family.

As for the dredging workers, they temporarily stopped working and moved into the villagers' homes under the arrangement of Captain Liu, waiting for the matter to be resolved.

After all this, it was getting dark, and the village chief arranged a few spare rooms for us to live in.

I know that Zheng Youcai's family's obsession may turn into a ghost again at any time, and only by finding the baby's unjust soul as soon as possible and relieving their obsession can this matter be completely resolved, so I don't have the heart to rest.

And Ah Kang also volunteered, and went directly to Cortana, quietly, to find the dead baby's soul by the Heishui River!
