Chapter 20: True and False
This middle-aged man is no longer the straight suit he wore when he was in the Zhu family, but his similar face to Zhu Daqian is indeed difficult to forget.
At this time, he hurriedly broke into the paper horse incense shop, and he couldn't care about sweating profusely, and shouted repeatedly:
"Anyone?"
I thought he was here to make trouble, and I didn't want him to see the second uncle, so I just said:
"No, people are dead."
The man trembled when he heard of death, and then became more anxious, wiped the sweat from his face, and pleaded with me:
"Little girl, don't scare me, why can I borrow a few hundred dollars from you?"
"You don't have to borrow money, if you know how to go to the city... Or the way out of these villages. ”
"When I go back to the city, no, as long as I go back to the town, I withdraw the money, and I will give you the hardship fee."
I was a little confused by what I said, but I was keenly aware that the person on the other side didn't recognize me at all.
Not only did they not recognize me, but they should not even be the destination of this paper horse incense shop.
It's late autumn now, but he's still wearing a pair of flip-flops on his feet, and he has obviously run a long distance, so the soles of his shoes are muddy.
I thought about it, and the man said hurriedly:
"Little girl, little girl!"
"Don't be stunned! It's going to get dark, can you get me back to town before it gets dark? ”
"I'm begging you, I really don't want to stay in this hellish place for a minute, it's my bad luck, I thought I could make a fortune this time..."
"Alas! I didn't expect this to happen! ”
“... And it's really hell, these villages are obviously not far apart, but no matter how you go, you can't get out, and there is no one in each household!! ”
"What the hell! No, it's really ghosts everywhere! ”
The middle-aged man cursed a few more swear words, and his expression did not relax for half a minute.
Only then did I remember that today seems to be the Zhushui rally, the annual gathering, this person obviously met something at the Zhu family, and he ran out and couldn't find anyone, so he was scared enough, so he was even more frightened.
I sat him down and poured him a cup of tea:
"The second uncle is not here, if you are in a hurry to go to the town or the city, you can sit down first, wait for him to come back, and send you there."
The middle-aged man drank tea, and the uncontrollable trembling of his whole body eased slightly, as if he recognized me:
“... Thank you... Eh, little girl, did I see you a few days ago, it seems that I have seen you, in Zhu..."
When the middle-aged man mentioned the word Zhu, he couldn't help but shudder, as if he remembered something:
"When will your second uncle come back, it's going to be dark soon, can you come back before dark? Can you get me back to town before dark? ”
I saw that he was so obsessed with the darkness, and I also had some thoughts, so I said tentatively:
"Not necessarily, my second uncle has been very busy lately, and I can't see people from time to time."
"I also recognize you, you are the biological grandson of the old man Zhu of the Zhu family who has just been recognized, right? What's it called... Well, Zhu Chengcai? ”
"Folks, you can stay here for a night... My second uncle won't come back tonight, and he will definitely come back tomorrow, and you will definitely be able to..."
Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by a middle-aged man in panic:
"No, no, no, I'm not Zhu Chengcai, I have nothing to do with the Zhu family!"
"I'm not Zhu Chengcai, my name is Wang Qiang, I have my own parents, and I have nothing to do with this Zhu family!"
"I was originally a little trick running a horizontal shop, but it was that terrible woman who found me and said that as long as I helped her perform a play, she would give me 100,000 yuan, and I came here!"
"I have nothing to do with the Zhu family!"
At the end, Wang Qiang was almost roaring, his whole body began to tremble violently, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead from time to time.
It dawned on me that I had a whole new understanding of the whole thing:
"You are not Zhu Daqian's own grandson, you were brought back by Zhu Dongmei to act?!"
"No, how did you get through the paternity test..."
"Then how did you get scared like this? What happened to the Zhu family? ”
Wang Qiang replied under my repeated questioning:
"Paternity test... I guess that's all there is to it. I asked this question before I came back with the woman, and she only told me that I looked like her father, and that was enough. ”
I thought about it, it turned out that I had forgotten one possibility, and that was to buy off the doctor...
As for my later inquiries about the Zhu family, Wang Qiang's face was very ugly, he looked very anxious and uneasy, and he didn't want to talk more:
“...... When will your adults come back, can you come back soon? Or... Little girl, do you have a cell phone? My broken phone has no signal at all, you lend me my phone to make a call... I called for someone to pick me up. ”
I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and showed the mobile phone screen to Wang Qiang:
"You don't have a signal, do I have one?"
"There have been problems with the signal base station here, as if it means that the signal tower will harm the body, and it has not been built, so there has been no signal and network."
"If you want to make a phone call, or send a message, you have to go to town, and just... Fifty or sixty kilometers of mountain roads. ”
Wang Qiang listened to my words, like a deflated ball, and suddenly froze in place:
“... So what to do? So what the hell to do?! ”
"I'm really here for one night, no, I can't stay for a minute."
"It's getting dark, it's already dark! That thing... That thing is coming soon! ”
"There are ghosts here, there are ghosts in these villages! If I don't leave, I'll die! ”
I was keenly aware of the point, and I thought that the 'thing' in Wang Qiang's mouth was obviously inseparable from the black gas he had when he entered the paper horse incense shop.
So I hurriedly asked:
"What the hell is going on? Don't be scary, talk about it. Look around here, I'm a shop that specializes in white things, and I know some mysterious dead things, if you talk about it, maybe I can find a way to help you! ”
I was sincere, but Wang Qiang listened to my words, but he just smiled bitterly:
"There's a way? What can you do as a little girl? Can you still collect ghosts? ”
"Let me tell you, this Zhu family is a big fire pit!"
"I originally thought that the woman, that is, Zhu Dongmei, brought me back to pretend to be her son, and created the identity of a small boss for me, and the family must have been properly arranged."
"I didn't expect her to be in the Zhu family, and she couldn't speak at all, and she had to cry for whatever she wanted."
"A few days after I entered Zhu's house, I was tortured by that group of people repeatedly, beaten with stuffy sticks, fed me cephalosporin and drunk, these are all light..."
"In order to protect me, Zhu Daqian also asked me to sleep in his house, but his house is not a good place at all!"
"When I woke up at night a few nights ago, I saw a female ghost with a miserable white face, lying on top of him, inhaling on him while he was asleep!"
"I saw it, I saw it all, every time the female ghost sucked it, Zhu Daqian's face would be darker..."
"He's going to die."
