Chapter 838: Getting to the bottom of things

 Many rich people have done many things that ordinary people cannot do. Some things we can imagine, some things we cannot imagine.

"Uncle, I said call the police! Why didn't anyone call the police? At that time." Fatty Wu was still struggling with this incident that had happened many years ago.

The old man yelled and said, "It's useless. That era was nothing like now. In those days, when you called the police, you just looked for it, fooled around a bit, and it was over if you couldn't find it! Our place is poor, but it is not as good as in big cities."

"

"Hey!" Fatty Wu tapped his foot with a look of regret on his face.

But I started to think deeply, and I always felt that there was something fishy about this matter!

The old man continued, "For a while, whenever night came, crying, screaming, and shouting could be heard from the back hill of our village. The crying sounded like Zhou Shitou's, and it was very penetrating.

.Everyone heard it, and some people saw Zhang Xianju running to the back hill to burn paper! Later, the crying lasted for a while and then disappeared."

"Originally, this matter has been overturned, and everyone has forgotten what happened back then! But a few nights before Zhang Xianju's death, the cry sounded again in the back mountain, and it was still the same as before. Most people in our village were

I heard it. Then Zhang Xianju died, just like Zhang Shitou died back then, without even leaving a body."

"You said, isn't this Zhou Shitou's soul coming back to take revenge?"

Listening to what the old man said, I was really surprised that they all heard it! If only one or two people heard it, it might be a lie. If most people in the village heard it, it couldn't be a lie.

.

Could this really be done by ghosts?

No, no! If it was done by a ghost, how could I not see it?

There was no breath left on the ground or in the air, so it couldn't be said.

I thought for a while, looked at the old man and asked, "Master, you said that Zhou Youwei was also involved in beating Zhou Shitou to death?"

I’d better clarify things first before talking!

The uncle nodded
He said, "Yes, Zhou Youwei was at home at that time. When Zhou Shitou was beaten for the first time, it was Zhou Youwei. There was a big commotion in the village at that time. Several people in the village went to stop him, and he even warned people aggressively.

Don't mind your own business."

Hearing this, I nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Is it because of this that Zhou Youwei was cast aside in the village?"

The old man shook his head and said, "That's not entirely true. Anyway, what their family did was not conducive to unity at all. It made it seem like the whole village was plotting against their family. In fact, it was their own character that had problems."

Again, if one or two people think they can't do it, then it may be someone else's problem! If the whole village thinks they can't do it, then they really can't do it.

I will go back and ask Zhou Youwei about this matter. I need confirmation and a definite answer! Because this matter may be related to the disappearance of his mother.

Thinking of this, I looked at the uncle and continued to ask, "By the way, uncle, there is one more thing! Is there any news about big rats in your village? I have heard people say that there are big rats here before."

When the old man heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Yes, there are a lot of big rats! Go to the garbage dump at night and have a look. That place is full of big rats, many weighing one or two kilograms. They are often found in my granary."

There are rats coming to steal rice to eat. In the countryside, there is nothing else. Rats are the most common. What’s wrong? Are you going to catch rats and eat them?”

eat!

This guy is really creative. Although there are people eating it outside, I don’t have that taste either.

I shook my head and said, "No, it's not a rat like this. I mean a very big rat! Has a rat as big as a cow ever appeared here?"

"A rat as big as a cow?" The old man repeated this sentence, then he laughed, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it.

Besides, how can there be such a big rat? Also, who told you that there are such big rats in our place?"

I just wanted to find out some clues about giant rats from the old man. He has stepped on rat droppings twice. I think he should know about rats, but it seems that the old man doesn't know.

I thought for a while and said, "A friend told me this. Let's ask when we come over!"

"Haha! That's nonsense." The old man didn't delve into the issue, he just complained about these two words.

"By the way, sir, are there any legends or stories about mice?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "There are many stories about mice stealing rice. I have never heard of the story about mice that are as big as cows! But there used to be an old storyteller in the village next to us. That gentleman should know

These stories about giant rats you tell me!"

"Where are you, Mr. Storyteller?" If I can collect such stories, it will undoubtedly be a breakthrough for me in this matter, and it will also make me more certain that this place has underground people.

Because this kind of place with underground people's hearts must have had giant rat incidents more than once! So many years ago, there must have been rumors about giant rats in this place, and most of the time this spread was in the form of stories.

came down.

The old man raised his hand and pointed at the mountain behind us, and said with a smile, "In the mountain behind us, there is no one there anymore. A few years ago, there was a mudslide in their village in the middle of the night. Many people died in the village, and the old man also died."

.”

I raised my head and took a look at the mountain. The mountains are continuous and there is a road going over the mountain. It looks like people from more than one village live there!

But the village is gone and everyone is dead, so what else is there to say?

Listening to the old man's nonsense, I shook my head helplessly and said, "Okay, thank you, sir! We have something else to do, so we'll go back first."

Talking, we
So I said goodbye to the old man and left!

On the way back, Fatty Wu kept angrily scolding Zhou Youwei, saying that Zhou Youwei was nothing! After scolding for a while, he noticed that I was silent and asked me, "What's wrong with you? Mr. Li, why didn't you speak all the way?"

?”

I pondered for a moment and said, "I'm thinking about Zhou Youwei! If Zhou Youwei and his mother really beat Zhou Shitou to death, it is unlikely that Zhou Youwei would have gotten to where he is today!"

"How is it impossible? I think it is quite possible. Most of those rich people have lives in their hands! The ruthlessness of those people is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as murdering people without showing blood."

I didn't answer the question anymore, but just said, "We'll find out when Zhou Youwei comes back later."

After listening to my words, Fatty Wu hummed and said nothing more.

When we returned to Zhou Youwei's house, they had already returned and said they had brought something to eat together. During the meal, I didn't ask anything. Seeing that I didn't say anything, Fatty Wu naturally didn't say anything either.

After eating, we sat on the sofa at Zhou Youwei's house to rest, and he asked us where we had been!

I didn't answer his question, but asked him straight to the point, "Do you know Zhou Shitou?"

When I asked him, I stared into his eyes. As soon as he heard what I said, Zhou Youwei's face suddenly darkened! He was smiling just now, but now the smile froze directly on his face.

Obviously, this name is familiar to him and has a certain deterrent effect on him!

"You, why are you talking about him all of a sudden?" Zhou Youwei picked up his teacup in a panic, unscrewed the lid and took an unnatural sip.

I said calmly, "You and your mother beat him to death?"

"No!" Zhou Youwei suddenly stood up from the sofa and said, "No, we didn't kill him! Don't listen to the nonsense of those people in the village."
