Chapter 42: Strange Old Man

Song Xiaotian and I stood in place, neither daring to go over to look nor to leave.

Because there was no light, we weren't sure if it was dead or alive.

I thought it was like a dead man, but Song Xiaotian said...... Wouldn't that be a ghost.

I quickly covered his mouth and told him not to say that word at such a time.

"Take a picture ...... with your phone"

Song Xiaotian said: "If it is a dead person, this corpse is placed in the open air like this, and the villagers here can't ignore it, right?" ”

The two of us quickly took out our phones, turned on the flashlight mode, and shone it in that direction.

The light of the flashlight quickly illuminated that side clearly.

It was an old man lying there, his eyes staring straight at us.

We were so frightened that our phones almost fell to the ground.

It's alive!

"Damn, this old man scared me."

Song Xiaotian pulled me over directly, ready to lift the door panel to save the old man.

"I said old man, you saw someone coming, why don't you scream!"

Song Xiaotian and I asked the old man while carrying the door panel.

To be honest, this door panel is not heavy at all, almost no weight, but it may be that the old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he can't get up if he falls.

I noticed that there was a portrait of the door god on this door panel, and it was possible that this door god was holding him down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as we lifted the door panel, the old man actually got up on his own, but as if he was afraid of us, he immediately distanced himself from us.

Song Xiaotian and I looked at each other, a little incomprehensible to this old man's behavior.

"Thank you, young man, you're from outside, aren't you?"

The old man spoke and thanked us.

"Old man, we're from outside, are you okay?" Song Xiaotian wanted to go over and help him down.

But the old man just wouldn't let us come close.

I said in my heart that he was so old, are you still afraid of life?

This old man is weird.

"Young man, don't come here, I don't like to come into contact with outsiders."

The old man stood firm and looked at us: "You are from outside, why did you come to our village, what are you going to do this big night?" ”

I saw that he seemed to treat us as thieves, and quickly explained: "We are from the city, and we are here to find someone." ”

The old man narrowed his eyes: "Which one are you looking for?" ”

I said, "Li Xiumei, I'm looking for Li Xiumei's home, do you know where her home is?" ”

The old man thought about it and couldn't help frowning: "I've lived in this village all my life, and I've never heard of a girl with beautiful eyebrows." ”

I said in my heart that since I am from this village, how can I not know Li Xiumei?

But I reacted quickly.

I shouldn't have asked Li Xiumei, I should have asked Li Yujiao, Li Xiumei's name was changed after Li Yujiao committed an accident, and it was normal for the people in the village not to know.

So I said Li Yujiao's name again.

"Jade Girl ......"

The old man's face quickly changed: "What are you looking for her?" This girl committed an accident back then, and she hasn't been back for more than ten years. ”

Song Xiaotian and I glanced at each other and lied: "We are the police, we are here to investigate the case of that year and find out about the situation with Li Yujiao's family." ”

The old man questioned: "It's been many years and I'm still investigating, don't you already know that she is a murderer, she hasn't come back all these years." ”

I thought to myself that of course she would not come back, she had been in the wall for fifteen years, and she only dug it up some time ago.

"If the person is not caught, we have to keep investigating, and the victim will be given justice, we are here to understand the situation, and I hope the old man will show us the way."

The old man didn't doubt it anymore, and pointed us in the direction: "Just go next to the east end of the village, you just keep going, and the most dilapidated house is theirs." ”

Although the old man kept saying that he was afraid of life, he was very talkative, and said to himself: "That girl committed a murder back then, and she killed their family miserably, and the people in the village spurned it." ”

Later, Yujiao's father was angry to death after two years, leaving orphans and widows. It's just that our family is kind-hearted, and sometimes we help them, otherwise the old lady in their family and the fool won't live long. ”

I was a little curious: "Li Yujiao's family, there is still a fool?" ”

The old man nodded: "Doesn't she have a younger brother, named Li Liang, this Li Liang had a serious illness when he was a child, and he had no money to treat it, and then their family didn't know where to get the money, so they took it for treatment, and the result was that his life was saved, but after too long, Li Liang got meningitis, and he was stupid." ”

"The people in the village said it was retribution."

I sighed.

In order to treat her younger brother, Li Xiumei and Lu Zhengxian harmed Du Yuwei's whole family, but they still failed to cure her younger brother.

To be a fool for a lifetime, it is better to die early and live early.

I thanked the old man: "Okay, you should go back early, it is not safe to come out and wander around in this black light." ”

The old man smiled and said, "I'll go back immediately, I'll move early tomorrow morning, but I don't like that place, so I'm looking to see if there's a better place, and I fell here." ”

Song Xiaotian and I didn't understand what he meant.

He said that if he moved, it must be that the new house has been repaired before he can move there.

Now that the new houses have been repaired, what else are you going to come out to see?

However, when people are old, their speech is a bit upside down.

I asked the old man if he would like to be sent back, lest he fall again later.

He said no, then turned and left.

Song Xiaotian and I followed the direction he pointed out just now, and planned to go to Li Xiumei's house first.

This Li Xiumei died fifteen years ago, and she was killed by Lu Zhengxian, Li Xiumei's family must not know about this.

Now that her mother and her brother are left in her family, I plan to tell her mother directly about her death, and if I tell the truth, I will say that Lu Zhengxian killed her, so that Li Xiumei's mother will definitely hate Lu Zhengxian, maybe she will tell us something.

Walking on the country road, it was a big night, and Song Xiaotian and I felt a little panicked.

"Have you noticed why there are so many graves in this village......" Song Xiaotian suddenly asked me.

Along the way, we did see a lot of graves.

I said that this is normal, in the past, when the cremation system was not implemented, it was all burial, and when the people in the village died, they must have been buried in the village.

In a poor place like this, even if someone dies now, it is still buried.

"I mean, half of the houses in this village are deserted, and there are more graves than houses...... Will all the people in those houses live in the graves......

Song Xiaotian's words scared me a lot, and I said angrily: "Big brother, can you not guess in this environment, panic." ”

As we were talking, we suddenly caught a glimpse of someone not far ahead.

The man was standing by the edge of a well, not knowing what he was doing.

The two of us froze for a moment, not daring to go any further.

for there was a tomb beside the well......
