"It's mysterious. That is to say, you don't know anything about him, do you? Wang Yu understood the meaning of the white-bearded old man's village chief's words, and directly opened the skylight to say bright words, and broke the words.

The white-bearded old man's face showed an embarrassed expression, but he could only nod and affirm, "Yes, some people have tried to talk to him, but he generally ignores it. ”

"So, we really don't know much about him. Otherwise, there probably wouldn't have been that kind of thing! ”

"What about it? What's up? Wang Yu sensed that there was something in the white-bearded old man's words, so he asked.

The white-bearded old man village chief took a few deep breaths again, sighed, and said, "Alas! This matter is our negligence. ”

"If we had been a little more careful, a little more cautious, and we would have figured out the situation before we took action. Perhaps, it will not cause such a situation now. ”

"Not? What the hell is going on? I'm asking you what happened and I didn't make you feel emotional. What's the use of you feeling here? Hurry up and say, what the hell is going on, okay? Wang Yu was about to be angry with the old man's ink and inexplicable emotion, and urged.

The white-bearded old man village chief sighed again, shook his head, and said, "Alas! Didn't I say that before? The old temple wishes that he will come to our village at the end of three days to buy some melons, fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, grain, and other daily necessities. ”

"Everyone, although at least they dislike him, but in fact, they are all used to his existence, and even, there are many people who still think about him."

"Until one day, a few villagers came to me and told me that Lao Miaozhu hadn't come for several days, and I didn't know if something had happened, or if he was sick, sick in bed, and couldn't move."

"As for those of them, I hope that I can take a few young and strong young men to the Hades Temple to have a look. If Lao Miaozhu encounters any difficulties, he will take a hand and help him. ”

"As for me, as the head of a village, I have long regarded Lao Miaozhu as a member of our village."

When they said this, I immediately called out to my son, and then to a couple of young and strong men. A few of us, without stopping, went towards the temple of Hades. ”

"When we arrived at the Hades Temple, we smelled a very strong smell before we entered the door. It smelled so bad that I remember it all my life, and I can't forget it! ”

"When I first smelled the stench, I didn't know what it was, until my son pushed the door open, I didn't know that it was corpse stench!"

"And the source of this corpse smell is Lao Miaozhu lying on the ground, he has been dead for several days, and the corpse stinks so much that he can't smell it. Several of us, including me, almost threw up. ”

"He's dead? Why did you die? Wang Yu listened to the words of the white-bearded old man village chief, and was directly dumbfounded.

He also hoped that through that mirror, through that temple of Hades, and especially, through that old temple Zhu, where was the source of the anomaly in the village?

As a result, why did this old temple wish just appear in the mouth of the white-bearded old man village head, and it hung up so quickly?

If he hangs up like this, how can he deduce it?

Wang Yu frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "How did he die?" Was it killed by someone, or by a monster, or died of illness, can't it be a natural death? ”

His idea was that since the white-bearded old man said that the people in the village didn't know much about this old temple blessing.

Then, instead of asking him about this person, I guess I can't ask anything.

It's better to ask, the cause of death of this old temple Zhu, maybe, you can find some clues from the cause of his death!

As a result, he didn't expect that the village chief of the white-bearded old man shook his head and said, "How did the old temple pillar die, we don't know this." ”

"At that time, among the people who followed me to the Hades Temple, there was no pretense, so no one thought of doing an autopsy. When we brought back Lao Miaozhu's body, everyone hated that the corpse was too smelly, so they burned his body and buried it. ”

Hearing the white-bearded old man village chief say this, Wang Yu's face turned completely dark.

He knew that Lao Miaozhu's clue was estimated to be completely broken, and it was a waste of time to entangle it on him, so he said angrily: "Okay, okay, Lao Miaozhu, don't talk about it, let's talk about the mirror." ”

"How did you find that mirror? How did your son smash it by mistake? Once broken, why take the pieces home instead of throwing them away? You answered me these questions one by one. ”

The white-bearded old man nodded his head, and according to Wang Yu's train of thought, he said, "That mirror was placed on the body of Lao Miaozhu at that time. ”

"Wait!" The white-bearded old man had just said a word, and Wang Yu interrupted him again and asked, "Put it on your body?" Isn't the bronze mirror usually placed on the dresser? How can anyone carry it with them? ”

"Moreover, this old temple is a man, right? He is a man, and he is also an older man who carries a bronze mirror with him? Yes? Is it so outrageous? ”

"Oh, no! You didn't say whether he was a man or a woman. It's not right, even if she's a woman, it's not enough, bring a bronze mirror with her, right? ”

"Bronze mirror! How much does this thing weigh? Isn't it inconvenient to carry it with you? No matter how you think about this, how unreasonable! ”

The white-bearded old man shook his head and corrected Wang Yu: "Old Miaozhu is a man. That's not the point, though. The point is that the mirror was not brought by him, but put and placed on his body! ”

Bring? Put?

Aren't these two words about the same meaning? Is there any difference?

Wang Yu looked at the white-bearded old man village chief suspiciously, not knowing why he was entangled.

In Wang Yu's puzzled eyes, the white-bearded old man village chief explained: "At that time, his body was lying not far from the temple gate. ”

"It's the kind of lying flat, with your head facing outward, your feet facing inward, and your head facing the temple gate, and it looks like you're walking peacefully."

"The mirror was on his chest at the time, but his two hands were on the mirror."

"Are you saying that the mirror was deliberately held in his hand before he died, and placed on his chest?" Wang Yu listened to the description of the white-bearded old man village chief, and simulated in his mind the general situation at that time.

He finally understood why the white-bearded old man village chief was entangled in the difference between bringing and putting.

belt, which refers to carrying it with you; And put, it means that the mirror, which turned out to be somewhere else, was the old temple Zhu, knowing that his death was approaching, so he deliberately took it from another place and put it on his chest.

Or maybe it was someone else, or something, who deliberately put that mirror on his chest after he died, or even after he killed him.

As soon as this idea came out, Wang Yu frowned, shook his head, and denied the idea.

Just now, the old man Bai Xu said that the old temple Zhu's hand was grasped on the mirror.

If so, if there is someone else, or something else, after killing the old temple, put the mirror on it.

Then, at this time, his hand can only be put on it, not grasped.

Because he is dead, the hands of the dead can no longer hold anything!

Therefore, Wang Yu was able to deduce that the mirror was deliberately placed on his chest by Lao Miaozhu before he died.

But why did he put the mirror on his body?

Why grab it with your hands?

And why, it must be placed on the chest and not on the rest of the body?

A mirror, grasped with both hands, placed on your chest.

What is the special meaning of such a move, what is a special posture, or is it a special ceremony?

Wang Yu touched his chin and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

The white-bearded old man village chief, hearing his question, nodded and said, "Yes! The mirror was quite large, and it was not convenient to carry it with me. ”

"When Lao Miaozhu came to the village to purchase, I also saw it a few times. I had never seen a mirror in him. ”

"So, at that time, when I saw the mirror, on Lao Miaozhu's corpse, I was wondering if Lao Miaozhu knew that his death was coming, and this mirror was a very precious thing to him."

"That's why he deliberately put the mirror on his chest, just to remind him that the person who came to collect his body wanted to bury the mirror with him."
