In the eyes of the village elder's wife, these are delicacies and extremely luxurious meals, but in the eyes of the three people, they are just ordinary meals.
The three of them ate some at will and asked the village elder's wife to take the rest away. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. This was indeed a good job. If you got money, you could still eat.
While cooking, Yue Xi had already become familiar with the village elder's wife, and he got a lot of words from the village elder's wife.
But the parents in this village are all short-sighted, so they shouldn’t be of much help to the case.
Yue Xi was also helpless. His master asked him to trick him as much as possible. Whether it was useful or not was not within his scope of consideration. He just had to report everything to his master.
As for what kind of useful information the master can extract from it, or whether he can't extract it, he doesn't know. After all, if he has such a brain, he will not be just a personal guard.
Today they have visited half of the villagers. Among those who delivered rice, noodles and eggs, some have visited, and some came here on their own initiative after hearing the news.
The village is only so big, so I can walk through it all tomorrow and recognize it.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they can leave or not. The size of the other half, what they do for a living, and their temperament have long been heard from other villagers.
For example, the single man at the entrance of the village who has moved out of town for more than a year is said to be almost forty years old. He has gone hunting in the mountains several times, but has always come back in a state of embarrassment. Sometimes he chops back a bundle of firewood if he fails to catch any prey.
, then carry it to the village and ask people if they want to buy it, just exchange it for a handful of rice.
The villagers had to go up the mountain to chop the wood they needed, and there was no need to exchange rice for it. What's more, he lived alone in the long-abandoned house at the entrance of the village. He was living in isolation. He did not interact with the villagers on weekdays, and his relationship was not good.
p>
So he went from house to house and asked.
Sometimes someone would be kind enough to give him a handful of rice, but sometimes if he couldn't change it, he would have to starve for a day.
Later, he went to exchange rice less and less. It is said that some villagers with good intentions quietly came to his house window to see what he would do after he could not exchange rice, and found that he boiled a pot of water and boiled a handful of grass to fill his stomach.<
/p>
Yue Xi was curious, life was so difficult, why didn't he go out to make a living? He moved from other places, and this was not his hometown. Of course, it would not be difficult to leave his hometown, so why not live somewhere else?
A villager immediately answered him that the man was in poor health and vomited blood from time to time. Even if he went to work outside, it was probably for this reason that he would live here.
Another example is the couple who were sucked into mummies and died tragically. The villagers speculated that they were juniors who eloped from a wealthy family. They could have lived a stable life, but they unexpectedly encountered a monster and lost their lives.
For example, Old Yutou from the east end of the village, who is over sixty years old, is still obsessed with sex, and is secretly hooking up with the thirty-year-old widow of Old Huang's family. A few days ago, he was almost killed by Old Huang's
He was caught on the spot, and it is said that Old Yutou didn't even have time to put on his pants when he escaped.
There is also Zhai Dazhuang from the end of the village. He looks tall and tall, but he doesn’t realize that the daughter his wife gave birth to is someone else’s seed.
……
Yue Xi mingled among the villagers, listening to all kinds of gossip, and felt that his ears were being poisoned. But the master said that all this was for the purpose of investigating the case.
He heard a lot of gossip and gave away a lot of money. However, he was disappointed to find that there was no one about the monster, which meant that there might indeed be no witnesses in the village.
We stayed in that house again that night.
However, the bed already has a bedding and curtains, so Yue Xi and Xing Nan no longer need to sit on stools and lean against the wall to pass the time. There are wooden boards sent by the villagers, which can be used as simple beds.
The villagers actually gave away planks of wood. Judging from this behavior, they were eager to give away everything they could move at home in exchange for money.
Xing Nan sighed, what a waste of money, even if he is not a housekeeper, he still feels a toothache.
With barely a place to sleep, Chu Xinyuan rushed Yue Xi and Xingnan into another room to build their wooden bed. The two of them did not dare to refuse. Besides, the master rushed out of the battlefield amidst the light of swords and shadows.
You are not weak in martial arts, and there are only some villagers here who don't know how to do martial arts, so don't worry.
They did not expect that Chu Xinyuan quietly left through the broken window in the middle of the night.
He stayed here for two days, but he learned nothing. He also gleaned some information from the gossip that Yue Xi heard.
Although we still don’t know the identity of the monster, whether it is a human, an animal, or something else, we can start investigating it in the village.
He has three suspects, and he will investigate them one by one tonight!
He went to the east end of the village first. He was still lustful in his sixties, and he could also make a lady in her thirties willing, which meant that Lao Yutou had a good body.
But to have such a body at such an age is absolutely rare, if not rare.
In the night, Chu Xinyuan is like a cheetah.
His light body movements are very practical, and have been experienced and tempered on the battlefield. They are not elegant, but fast, and they flick left and right. If anyone looks here, they will probably feel dazzled, or
Damn it...
However, there should be few people who can see clearly. After all, the dark clothes almost blend into the night at night.
We will arrive at the east end of the village soon.
The situation of Lao Yutou was also extracted from the gossip that Yue Xi heard. He had two sons and two daughters-in-law, but the life of the daughter-in-law was not good. Both daughters-in-law died, and the two sons took them with them.
The child moved out of the village and went to the town. He stayed there for seven or eight years without even coming back to visit.
People in the village felt that the old man's son was cruel, leaving such an old father alone at home, and there was no one to hand him a bowl of water in case someone got a headache.
Old Yutou lives here alone, which can be considered quiet, and it is also on the outskirts of the village.
And here, it's not far from the road to the entrance of the village.
Old Yutou has lived in the village for a long time and is familiar with the terrain here. This distance is nothing to him.
Chu Xinyuan looked at the house with the same wood and stone structure. This house was not as big as the village chief's house, nor was it as new. But it was more than enough for an old man to live here.
There are some vegetables planted on the right side in front of the house, but they are not growing well.
A circle of bamboo fence surrounds the entire house.
Chu Xinyuan did not move the bamboo fence, but lightly tapped his foot, flipped over, and jumped over it.
There is still candlelight in the room.
It’s so late, even the bugs are asleep, so why is Lao Yutou still awake?
At this time, a woman's scream suddenly came from the room, followed by a disjointed voice: "Spare me...help..."
