Chapter 18: Finally Meeting
The village chief's face was excited, and as he spoke, he grabbed me by the hair and forcibly picked me up.
Although I have been resisting, my strength is still too small, and I am not an adult opponent at all.
He slapped me twice, my cheeks hurt so badly that I almost couldn't stand on my feet, and I was pushed against the wall by the village chief, like a little chicken who had lost the protection of adults.
The village chief glared at me, his face was dark, and he shouted angrily,
"Rabbit cub, eight people have died in the village, if it goes on like this, the entire Zhoujiagou will be wiped out because of your family's affairs, I can't ignore it as the village head, if you want to complain, you will complain about your own life, how did you have such a mother."
I was pressed against the wall and couldn't struggle, and when the village chief was looking for a rope to tie me, he shouted with difficulty,
"No, the person who really wants to harm the village is not my mother, it is, someone else...... My mother is also a victim, and she has no intention of harming others. ”
At the beginning, Taigong did suspect that my mother had done these things, but since he found out that my mother's grave had been tampered with, he must have done it to someone else.
What's more, my mother never showed up from beginning to end, how could she kill so many villagers.
"You were deceived by the coffin maker surnamed Wang, this guy is the mastermind behind the scenes, and there is something wrong with the coffin he sold to my family!"
I tried to explain all this to the village chief, but the village chief didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he had been poured in, so he didn't care about my words at all, took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into my mouth, and said with a sad face,
"Zhou Xuan, don't blame the uncle, I did this for the sake of the whole village, in order to solve the troubles in the village, I can no longer be kind to you."
"You've been deceived...... Not! ”
I tried to explain, but the village chief didn't give me a chance, shoved a rag into my mouth, and seeing that I hadn't given up the struggle, he ruthlessly picked up the flat pole and smacked it at the door of my head.
All I heard was a thud, and then my eyes went black, and I didn't know anything.
……
I didn't know how long I was unconscious, but by the time I regained consciousness, it was already dawn.
All my limbs were covered with hemp rope, my whole body was tied up, and I threw it into the firewood room of the village chief's house.
The firewood room was locked, I was young and weak, and my limbs were tied up, so I couldn't struggle at all.
I tried to exclaim loudly and ask the village chief to let me go, but the rag was still stuffed in my mouth, and no matter how much I shouted, I could only make a muffled whine.
It's miserable......
After a few attempts, I was completely desperate and could only stagnate, like a maggot-like chrysalis body, leaning my back limply against the wall.
This time there was really no escape.
I never thought that I would escape so many powerful ghosts and end up in the hands of the village chief.
He's my uncle in the next room, how can he treat me in this way?
My heart is full of misery, not to mention how lost I am, and the only thing I can pray for now is to wish my second uncle a smooth escape and not fall into the hands of that coffin maker.
At this time, there were a lot of messy footsteps outside the firewood house, and I heard the village chief leading a group of villagers into the backyard, saying as he walked,
"Dayong, you go to the entrance of the village to see if Master Wang has come back, I have already caught this little cub, just waiting for Master Wang to come back and send it down."
The villagers snorted with great courage and said, "If I want to say that I don't have to wait for Master Wang, just find a pig-killing knife and bleed this little beast directly, his family has caused the whole village so miserable, why keep him!" ”
Another villager also gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, in just a few days, more than a dozen people have died in the village, all of them were killed by the old Zhou family, and this family all deserves to die!" ”
"Village chief, my daughter-in-law died unjustly, please hand over Zhou Xuan to me, I will sink him in the fish pond, and let this little cub pay for my daughter-in-law's life!"
Outside the firewood house, the villagers cursed one after another, and everyone gritted their teeth, not hiding their hatred for me.
I don't know what I've done wrong, it's obviously not me who caused all this, why are the people in the village eager to cut me with a thousand knives?
The hustle and bustle of scolding made my heart feel like ashes, and I closed my eyes, wishing I could die like this.
Until the village chief's scolding came from the crowd,
"Don't fart, how to deal with Zhou Xuan, it depends on Master Wang's idea, the purpose of calling you here today is to discuss how to build the altar, and quickly cooperate with Master Wang to end the disaster in the village.
Hearing the village chief's scolding, the crowd stopped making trouble.
In a small place like Zhoujiagou, the authority of the village chief is still quite large, and the villagers dare not oppose him, so they can only leave in a huff.
After a while, the door of the firewood room was pushed open again, and a beam of light came in.
I raised my head in a dead heart, and saw the village chief walking up to me with a complicated expression with two corn buns.
"Are you awake? If you're hungry or not, eat something. ”
After saying that, he took off the torn towel from my mouth and handed over the corn bun.
I looked away from my lips and didn't answer.
The village chief sighed and said, "Zhou Xuan, I know that you hate me and the people in the village, but everyone can't help it, do you know that just last night, there were dead people in the village again, and there were more than a dozen villagers killed by your mother." ”
I looked at him coldly and said, "Why do you say that these villagers are my mother's victims, have you seen them with your own eyes?" ”
The village chief shook his head with a paranoid expression: "If it's not your mother, who else can there be?" Master Wang said, these things are all because of your mother, and only by eliminating your mother can the disaster in the village end. ”
Hehe!
I didn't bother to say anything more, the village chief was too ignorant, including those ignorant villagers, who were also bewitched by the surname Wang.
If everyone is my mother's fault, what about the people who set up evil circles on her grave?
I vaguely felt a huge conspiracy, but unfortunately I was so useless, I knew that this matter was not normal, and I didn't have the ability to find out.
The village chief did not stay in the firewood house for long, and soon went about his own business.
I was still staring against the wall, waiting for the final judgment of fate. Judge.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the coffin maker surnamed Wang came back, and as soon as he entered the house, he asked the village chief, "I heard that you caught the little cub of the Zhou family, where is the person?" ”
The village chief immediately replied, "The people are locked up in the firewood room, waiting for you to deal with it yourself." ”
"Well, you've done a good job this time, keep the room safe, don't let any outsiders in, I'm going to be alone with this little brute for a while."
The coffin maker's laughter was full of evil spirits, and he left the village chief outside, while he himself pushed the door and entered the firewood room where I was being held.
I heard the movement early and looked up coldly and waited for him.
After the door opened, a yin owl's perverse face immediately broke into his sight, with a hooked nose, triangular eyes, and a playful sneer on his face covered with old age spots.
"Boy, we're finally meeting."
