Chapter 144

"How old is your village chief?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

"Sixty-six." Zhuang Laoqi replied.

"That's a long life."

In such an era, the common people are not only faced with harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also rampant ghosts, life is difficult, and the old man in the mountain village who can live to the age of 66 is already considered to be a long life.

"Yes—"

Zhuang Laoqi nodded: "It's a good thing to be able to heal without medicine, so when the village chief started to get up, everyone didn't think much about it, and they were very happy." ”

He said that he was going to Kuailiang Village, and everyone only thought that he was worried that the matter of Zhuang Siniang would affect the relationship between the two villages, and he wanted to come forward to deal with this matter.

"Changgen also said-" Zhuang Laoqi said this, and hurriedly added:

"Changgen is the son of the village chief, saying that he just got up and is not in a hurry, and this incident happened in Kuailiang Village, and he died in Zhuangjia Village without knowing everything, and he was afraid that the people in Kuailiang Village would think that we had killed him, and he would not be able to speak clearly when he was full of long mouths."

Pang Zhixian nodded:

"That's right, it's better to find a reputable middleman as a guarantor, it's safer."

"Who's to say it isn't?" Zhuang Laoqi said:

"But I can't persuade anyone."

In this way, the village chief confiscated his baggage, and went directly to Kuailiang Village on the same day.

At that time, the people of Zhuangjia Village did not begin to be afraid, until he had been gone for a long time, and in the evening, his son was looking out at the door of the house.

Seeing that the meal was over, the village chief had not come back yet, Zhuang Changgen was a little anxious, at this moment, he was suddenly stunned, looked left and right, and then entered the house without looking back.

His daughter-in-law was cooking at the time, and when she came out to pick up firewood, she saw Zhuang Changgen carrying a burden, as if she was going to go out.

She hurriedly stopped the person and asked him where he was going to eat soon.

Zhuang Changgen Road:

"Someone called me, I'm going to Kuailiang Village."

As soon as this answer came out, Zhuang Changgen's daughter-in-law was frightened at that time.

In fact, Kuai Mancai died in the village chief's house yesterday, and the blood has not been cleaned up so far, and the people of Zhuangjia Village heard the wind, and everyone only dared to hide from a distance to take a look at this side.

After the village chief left in the morning, no one came for the whole day.

She had been cooking outside before, and she didn't see anyone shouting at the door, when Zhuang Changgen suddenly said that someone called him, who shouted?

What's more, Kuai Mancai was good before he died yesterday, but suddenly said that someone called him, and then he died after taking two steps.

He died tragically, and the village chief woke up and said that someone called him and said that he had to go to Kuailiang Village, but now a whole day has passed, and half of the figure has not been seen.

Now Zhuang Changgen also said that he was going to Kuailiang Village, although his daughter-in-law couldn't tell the reason, but she felt that this matter was not quite right.

She called the other sons of the village chief and detained the village chief and did not allow him to leave.

But in the end, it couldn't be stopped at all.

Zhuang Changgen was determined to go to Kuailiang Village, and he had a fight with a brother who tore his face, and finally left without looking back.

Although it was a little strange that he was gone at this time, it was understandable that he was worried about his father after all.

But then terrible things happened again and again.

"Six days ago, Zhuang Juming in the village also packed his baggage, saying that someone called him to go to Kuailiang Village-"

When Zhuang Laoqi said this, the muscles on his face trembled uncontrollably, and he was obviously terrified:

"Before noon, my uncle came to my house in a panic, saying that my cousin was packing his things, and that someone was calling him from behind that he was going to Kuailiang Village."

Obviously, when others mentioned that the village chief's father and son were going to Kuailiang Village two days ago, Zhuang Laoqi's cousin was also at the scene, and when he heard that these people had gone to Kueliang Village, he called it "evil".

Unexpectedly, it was only one night, but he seemed to have completely forgotten what he said before, and he had to go to Kuailiang Village.

Zhuang Laoqi's uncle and aunt cried and grabbed the ground, and the old couple stopped and stopped, but the result was the same as Zhuang Changgen, and they couldn't stop it at all.

“……”

Gou Laosi was just joking with Zhuang Laoqi, but he didn't expect such a terrifying and bizarre case to be pulled out behind his back, and his face turned pale with fright at this time.

"Not only that, but in the evening, my uncle also collected things, saying that someone called him and that he was going to Kuailiang Village-"

In just two or three days, a total of more than a dozen people in Zhuangjia Village, including Zhuang Laoqi's uncle and father, suddenly said that someone poked them in the back, and then said that someone called them to go to Kuailiang Village.

"These people are gone, and they never come back."

Things have developed so far that even the most stupid people realize that something is wrong.

"Kuai Mancai, the village chief, the village chief's son (Zhuang Changgen), Zhuang Juming, your cousin, uncle-"

Zhao Fusheng made a summary:

"Except for Kuai Mancai, these people are all from Zhuangjia Village, right?"

Zhuang Laoqi nodded uneasily.

"Then did these people all witness Kuai Mancai's death that day?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

Zhuang Laoqi's body shook heavily, and he looked up at Zhao Fusheng in horror:

"How do you know?"

"Do you need to ask?" Zhang Chuanshi sneered:

"Adults are like gods."

Zhuang Laoqi said in a panic:

"These people all witnessed Kuai Mancai's death that day."

Speaking of this, his tears flowed out as soon as he 'brushed', and he desperately began to kowtow to the ground:

"Help, sir. When my son and mother saw that the uncle and his son had gone to Kuailiang Village and did not come back, they knew that something had happened, and they were afraid that something would happen to me, so they told me to leave the village quickly. ”

"They suspect that my cousin is not blind to death, and now they want to pull someone on their backs, and I also saw Kuai Mancai's death that day, and I am worried that my cousin will find me sooner or later."

So that day, Master Zhuang's father and mother urged him to leave the village quickly.

But once again, the horror happened.

Since three or four days ago, the outskirts of Zhuangjia Village have been covered with fog at some point.

After Kuai Mancai died at the village chief's house, the villagers found that it was dark early in the past few days, and the day came too slowly, but unfortunately the villagers were not sensitive to the existence of powerful ghosts, and because of the recent events, people were panicked.

In such an atmosphere, the ignorant villagers wanted to stay at home with the gate locked, so they did not realize that the village was surrounded by fog.

When Zhuang Laoqi wanted to leave, he couldn't leave at all.

"The passage out of the village is gone—"

He muttered.

When he said this, his voice was soft, but the fear in his eyes was vividly displayed through his trembling trills and the sound of swallowing saliva unconsciously.

"What?"

Gou Laosi exclaimed.

"My father and mother sent me at the time, but no matter which way I went, in the end it was only the road by the river that crossed the river to Kuailiang Village on the other side."

The once familiar village has become eerie and terrifying.

At some point, the mist turned crimson, and there was a strange smell around it, which made people feel depressed.

Zhuang Lao Qi's father and mother were frightened at that time, and the family wandered through the field paths like headless flies, trying to find a way out.

However, no matter which road to the outside world was distorted by the fog in the past, the three of them turned around a few times and still crossed back to the river.

A boat crossing the river docked there, and on the other side was Kuera Village.

Zhuang Laoqi's family was frightened.

At this time, where did they dare to get on the boat, they retreated home.

During their return home, they met several people who were talking and laughing.

These people in the village didn't seem to be aware of the strange things that happened in the village, and they greeted Zhuang Laoqi's family when they met them.

When Zhuang Lao and his mother asked them where they were going, they all replied:

"Go to Kuailiang Village."

These people seemed to have made an appointment, and they all said that someone called them together.

Even these people smiled and invited Zhuang Laoqi's family to go with them, saying that there were many people.

At such a time, no matter how stupid you are, you know that something big is happening in Kuailiang Village, who would dare to go?

When Zhuang Laoqi said this, Gou Laosi was afraid and strange, and said:

"But, but when I went to look for you, there was nothing out of the ordinary—"

As soon as Gou Laosi's voice fell, Zhuang Laoqi's tears were about to flow out:

"I will definitely die when I am, who knows that you have come to look for me at this time."

Zhuang Laoqi's family was in a desperate situation, and at this time, Gou Laosi heard that the county government was recruiting workers, saying that he wanted to build a road, so he came to find Zhuang Laoqi and wanted to invite him all the way.

And the strange fog that trapped the people of Zhuangjia Village didn't seem to have any effect on Gou Laosi.

He broke into Zhuangjia Village in this way, and Zhuang Laoqi's family regarded him as a life-saving straw and hurriedly went with him.

The family didn't even have time to pack up the baggage, so they left with him.

"But as we walked, the family was separated—"

Zhuang Laoqi said sadly:

"I don't know when, my father and mother disappeared, I looked back, and saw that Zhuangjia Village was surrounded by fog, and I couldn't see it clearly."

Something like this happened, he didn't dare to look back, although he was worried about his father and relatives, but he didn't turn back, so he entered Wan'an County with Gou Laosi, wanting to avoid the limelight for two days, and when things eased up, he would find someone to inquire about what happened in Zhuangjia Village.

After avoiding it for a few days, nothing strange happened to him, but he was always worried in his heart.

What happened in Kuailiang Village was a big stone that pressed on his heart.

Zhuang Siniang's stealing people and being sunk by her husband's family is a shame for Zhuangjia Village, and he dare not say anything about it, for fear of tarnishing the reputation of the village.

Under such circumstances, he was frightened and frightened for several days.

Gou Laosi didn't know anything about the psychology of this cousin, and today he picked up a thin and long bamboo stick to joke with him, and just poked him in the back, which suddenly detonated the fear and worry that had been stored in Zhuang Laoqi's heart for several days.

So he was out of control at that time, and took a shovel of plaster and slapped Gou Laosi's back hard, which caused a commotion, and was finally pulled into the palace of the Demon Suppression Division by Zhao Fusheng and others, and told the backlog of things in his heart.

Although Zhuang Siniang's matter is not very decent, people's emotions have been pent up for a long time, and Zhuang Laoqi has an indescribable relaxation after saying it.

"I'm worried about my family's ......"

"What?"

When Gou Laosi heard this, he scratched his head:

"Old watch, are you mistaken? When I went to look for you at your house that day, I didn't see my cousin and my cousin-in-law—"

"Huh?!"

Zhuang Laoqi let out an exclamation, "How could it be, when you came, I was with my father and mother——"

The two cousins looked at each other, and they both shuddered.

"If you don't see my father, then where did my mother go?" Zhuang Laoqi muttered to himself.

Zhao Fusheng, Fan Bisheng and the others glanced at each other, and they all knew that Zhuang Laoqi might have been affected by the ghost domain of the powerful ghost at that time, and his memory and cognition were skewed.

"How so? Could it be that people have really died and become ghosts? ”

Zhuang Laoqi cried and said with a sad face:

"But there is a wrong, there is a debtor, my cousin was such a virtuous and docile person when she was alive, and besides, it was not from our Zhuangjia Village who killed her, what did she do to the people of our Zhuangjia Village?"

"The ghost is not what you imagined."

Zhao Fusheng said solemnly.

After death, there is the possibility of resurrection, and once it is revived, it loses its memory and emotion, and becomes an existence that only knows the killing instinct.

After touching the law of ghosts, it doesn't care if you are a relative or friend before your death, when the Zhao couple revived the ghost and retrieved the door panel, the first one wanted to kill their daughter - this should be the emotional reflection of people before death.

The more reassuring you are, the more likely it is that the law will be formed after death, and the probability that someone close to you will trigger the law is higher, but it is likely that you will die first.

"How so?" Zhuang Laoqi was puzzled, and after hearing Zhao Fusheng's statement, he was panicked and afraid:

"How so? We don't have anything to be sorry for her, how can we be harmed—"

How can a ghost have a love to talk about? Zhao Fusheng shook his head and ordered:

"This ghost case has become a climate, and it can't be delayed any longer."

Although Zhao Fusheng has no evidence at present, after her cross-examination, it is almost certain that the ghost case revolves around Zhuang Siniang, and has involved at least two villages, Kuailiang Village and Zhuangjia Village.

And because Zhuang Siniang's death was not very glorious, the two villages deliberately concealed it, and after seven or eight days, the ghost domain was formed, and maybe the case had already expanded.

When I was still thinking that Wan'an County was peaceful, something big had happened in the surrounding villages.

"I'm going to pack my things and go." She stood abruptly, her gaze wandering.

Anyone who was swept by her gaze looked apprehensive.

Among the people, only Pang Zhixian is relatively calm.

Although he knew that the ghost case was terrible, because he was not from the Demon Suppression Division, this ghost case would not involve him in any case.

Zhang Chuanshi panicked.

There are few people available in the Demon Suppression Division now, Fan Bisheng has already handled two ghost cases with Zhao Fusheng, and there is a high probability that Zhao Fusheng will not take him this time.

Among the several envoys, Wu Shaochun has not handled a ghost case, and this time he is unlucky, and it is very likely that he will be selected.

Zhang Chuanshi was thinking about this in his heart, when he saw Zhao Fusheng's eyes fall on Wu Shaochun.

He meditated in his heart:

"Elect him, choose him, choose him, choose him—"

I don't know if this kind of mantra has worked, Zhao Fusheng said:

"Wu Shaochun."

Zhang Chuanshi had an unconcealable smile on his face.

Then he saw Zhao Fusheng turn his head, and his eyes fell on Zhang Chuanshi again.

The huge fear instantly overwhelmed Zhang Chuanshi, and he was instantly relieved of most of his strength, and he kept silently reciting:

"Don't choose me, don't choose me, don't choose me—"

But I don't know if this kind of good luck has been consumed, this time Zhang Chuanshi did not have as good luck as before.

Zhao Fusheng's voice sounded in Zhang Chuanshi's ears like a demonic spell:

"Lao Zhang—"

"Can't hear, can't hear, can't hear."

Zhang Chuanshi turned a deaf ear.

Zhao Fusheng ignored him, and went to see Fan Wusu again:

"Second Brother Fan, this time the three of you will travel with me, and Brother Fan will stay in the Demon Suppression Division."

“……”

Zhang Chuanshi's face was like ashes.

Fan Wusu was also a little flustered, but he turned his head to look at his brother, but saw that Fan Bisheng was still calm, and nodded at him.

His heart was relieved, and he hurriedly responded:

"Yes."

"Yes." Wu Shaochun also agreed loudly.

Ask for a day off tomorrow, ready to save up the manuscript, and sort out the outline by the way, don't refresh it~!
