The reason why the bride's hiding place was finally exposed was the diary written by the village chief.
The diary belonging to a child ends here. Although there are still many notes in the box, the remaining papers no longer record daily life.
As can be seen.
After this incident.
A child's enthusiasm for writing a diary has been cruelly strangled in the cradle!
The rest of the letters looked like they had grown-up handwriting and tone of voice.
Most of the records are information about famous officials from the three families of Zhang, Wang and Li, or they record major events that happened in the village, special days, and events that need attention.
The naughty boy who loved fishing in rivers and hunting birds in the mountains eventually grew into an ambitious leader of Osmanthus Village!
There is another sentence in the handbook:
[I don’t know why I have to do this, but I think that after sitting in this position, even if those people want to break into my yard, they have to see my face first.]
Look, peeking into a child's diary has caused a lot of psychological damage to the child.
Xu Shuo read a bunch of notes in the box, but still didn't find the information he wanted.
Although this information was indeed helpful in digging out the story of the script, it did not have much to do with the bride. What he wanted to see was the ins and outs of the bride's incident.
After reading the manuscript, I only know so far:
The bride was not the only young intellectual who came to Osmanthus Village.
But there was no detailed description in the village chief's diary about the fate of those people. At first, the child only thought that the group of people had left.
After all, those literary youths were not assigned to Osmanthus Village from the beginning.
Osmanthus Village is located in a very remote location, surrounded by mountains. There is a river blocking the mountain road leading to the outside world. People who are not familiar with the surrounding terrain may find it difficult to find a way out.
So, did those people really leave or were they forced to stay?
I'm afraid it's also an unsolved mystery.
Secondly.
Tie Zhu hid the bride in the ancestral hall without authorization, and he was probably also responsible for this incident.
After all, the village chief also hinted.
Tie Zhu probably died at that time.
…
After Xu Shuo read the letter, he sat in the yard thinking about something, his eyes focused on the osmanthus tree in the corner.
After a while.
The village chief who went to the ancestral hall to watch a play came back.
Seeing that Xu Shuo was in a daze, he asked aloud: "How are you, have you finished reading everything?"
As he spoke, the village chief stepped forward. He expected to see more paper scraps in the sandalwood box, but the aged papers were stacked together safely.
Although the Zhang family seems to be a big and respected family in Guihua Village, no matter what, it is still just a big family in the eyes of a small mountain village.
So his family doesn't have the kind of paper that can be stored for a long time.
When the village chief took it out yesterday, he accidentally crushed a small corner of each piece of paper, as if he was pressing a seal.
So now, looking at the neatly folded papers in the box, the village chief was a little confused.
"Have you finished reading?" he asked again.
"I've finished reading." Xu Shuo looked dull.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Nothing is useful."
"..."
The village chief looked at him with twitching corners of his mouth.
Xu Shuo held up his chin and asked, "So is there any useful information, such as information about the bride?"
The village chief shook his head: "Forget about the bride, there is no information handed down about those scholars back then. It's as clean as if the evidence was deliberately destroyed."
The village chief told the truth this time.
Basically everything he knows has been told to Xu Shuo.
Because of the threat of the abyss, he also wants to help other players complete their tasks as soon as possible. In this case, there is no need to continue to fight for that little deduction value.
Rewards are not as important as life!
If he really had to, he wouldn't even mind getting rid of his main mission!
…
Xu Shuo felt the village chief's emotions and saw that his reaction did not seem to be fake, so he nodded and said nothing more.
"What good show did you see?" Xu Shuo asked instead.
Just now the village chief said he wanted to visit the ancestral hall next door.
I seemed quite happy when I came back.
The village chief got excited when he talked about it.
He clicked his tongue and shook his head and said, "What a misfortune! Not only was he skinned and cramped alive, but he was also nailed to the bed with a pry bar. The blood was almost drained. Today, the Wang family carried the entire bed to the ancestral hall for treatment!"
Said before.
The bride will not directly kill people, but will perform cruel and inhumane torture. As long as they last until dawn, those people may still be saved.
The key to the rescue is the ancestral hall in Osmanthus Village.
"So what exactly is in the ancestral hall?" Xu Shuo asked curiously: "Is the magic medicine stored there?"
"If there really was a panacea, it would have been divided up long ago. In fact, it is just a pile of ancestral tablets. People are carried there to pray to gods and Buddhas. After treatment, they will get better a little faster." The village chief said.
"...it's really metaphysics." Xu Shuo.
If you say there is a magic weapon there, it is more convincing than if you ask for help from your ancestors.
If the ancestors of Osmanthus Village were really protecting future generations, they would have come out long ago to crush the bride's bones and spread her ashes, right?
So there must be something there!
It seems that burning the ancestral hall can really be put on the agenda.
"Besides, I don't know where the wealthy Wang has gone."
The village chief thought again and said: "He is the current head of the Wang family. If something like this happens in the family, logically he should be there to pray."
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows: "You stayed with Wang Fuhu last night?"
The village chief looked at him with a strange expression: "Yes, I also had the opportunity to see you and the bride perform the story of flying immortals from the sky."
Xu Shuo didn't pay attention to the village chief's teasing, but continued to ask: "After you contacted him last night, did you know what his purpose was?"
"I didn't say anything specific, but he said he was going to Beishan..."
At this point, the village chief paused.
Different from the purpose of the village chief last night, the village chief followed Wang Tiezhu's footsteps down from Beishan, while Wang Fuhu went from the village towards Beishan.
Is there anything else besides Wang Tiezhu's house in Beishan at night?
——The cemetery in Osmanthus Village!
The village chief suddenly felt blessed!
Last night, their trip to Beishan was ruined because of the bride.
But since Wang Fuhu tried every means to go to Beishan last night, naturally, he will continue to look for opportunities to go there today.
Just like now.
"Village Chief! Village Chief!"
Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded from the other side of the street. The man stumbled as he ran and rolled and crawled, shouting all the way. The neighbors were so startled that they all curiously poked their heads out of their houses to check the situation.
In the middle of July, farm work in Guihua Village is temporarily suspended, and every household stays indoors and rarely goes out.
So this time, there were a lot of people coming out to watch the fun.
In the yard.
When the village chief heard the shouting, he was stunned for a moment and then walked out on crutches.
The person running from a distance.
It was the Zhang family servant who had been ordered by the village chief to go to the cemetery to check on the situation.
The servant looked panicked. When he ran to the yard, he threw a shovel directly at the village chief's feet, and then trembled and said: "Village...Village Chief, that place..."
"Come in and talk."
The village chief interrupted him expressionlessly, then turned and walked into the yard.
On both sides of the alley, the villagers who stuck their heads out to eavesdrop saw this and retracted their heads in disbelief, hiding in their own houses.
After entering the yard.
When the servant saw Xu Shuo sitting at the stone table, he was startled again. He looked frightened.
The village chief sat on the stone bench next to him and said with a dull expression: "Don't be nervous, I'm safe here. Just tell me carefully what you saw in the cemetery."
Perhaps it was the village chief's calmness that reassured him, and the villager gradually calmed down.
He stood aside submissively and said in a low voice: "I followed your wishes, village chief, and did not go in. I only watched from the outside.
"Then I saw Dagang and Youcai walking around in the cemetery.
"I didn't know what was going on, so I wanted to go over and ask them what they were doing, but the Wangs came out of nowhere and grabbed me and told me not to go in.
"We hadn't even said a few words outside when Dagang and Youcai suddenly rushed towards us!"
When he said this, fear appeared on the villager's face again.
He crossed his arms and hugged himself tightly, bent down in a defensive manner, and said with a trembling voice: "Dagang and Youcai turned into terrible monsters. They wanted to bite me to death! I tried my best to escape.
Come out!"
The village chief looked at him with a frown, and then asked: "What about everyone Wang?"
Hearing this, the villagers seemed to have woken up from a dream, and murmured: "Yes...yes...where have everyone gone?"
His expression was dull, his eyes were staring blankly at the air in front of him, and he suddenly frowned, as if he was depressed and had a sad face.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled his hair tightly again, his expression was painful and tangled, the veins on his forehead popped out, and the blood on his skin quickly faded!
This villager...seems like something is gradually going wrong.
And as early as when he started talking nonsense, the village chief had already calmly raised his cane.
But Xu Shuo's movements were faster than him!
The dark green bamboo cane was suddenly held in his hand. The young man who was sitting quietly at the stone table suddenly stood up and struck the air in front of him like lightning!
Poof!
The end of the cane instantly pierced the villager's throat!
The villagers who were standing not far away talking just now turned out to be very close to them without knowing it, and even stretched out their sharp claws towards them!
Xu Shuo pulled out his cane with a calm expression, and cold blood spurted out, but he sidestepped as he had expected.
Then a piece of blood spilled on the stone table.
The village chief sitting next to him looked confused.
It wasn't until the villager whose throat was stabbed fell to the ground that he suddenly realized what he was doing, and his heart was full of fear.
The movement of this thing is so weird!
It can actually confuse the audience!
If Wang Tiezhu wasn't around, and if the reaction of this elderly body was even slower, he might have been hit!
"How did you discover him?" the village chief asked with concern.
"It's just a little trick."
As Xu Shuo spoke, he took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped the end of the cane - although there was no trace of blood on it, it still felt like it was dirty.
At this moment, Xu Shuo turned his head and looked at the entrance of the courtyard.
The village chief seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and saw a panicked figure flashing across the street, followed by the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away.
The village chief sighed: "It's troublesome."
Xu Shuo didn't say anything.
The village chief glanced at him, and then said: "Some villagers must have seen you kill someone. The villagers in Guihua Village already have objections to you. There was no evidence to check you before, but if you really kill someone,
That would be different."
Xu Shuo threw away the clean brocade handkerchief with a calm expression: "So?"
The village chief cheered up: "Come with me to the cemetery to investigate the murderer, and I will continue to help you settle this matter!"
Hearing this, Xu Shuo smiled inexplicably, as if he had encountered something interesting.
He looked at the village chief and said leisurely: "You think too highly of yourself."
The village chief frowned: "What do you mean? If a child doesn't agree, he won't agree. Why are you scolding an old man?"
Xu Shuo sat down on the stone bench again with a leisurely expression. He did not take his cane back, but placed it on the table, then propped up his chin and curled the corners of his mouth.
"Then you give it a try."
"So you agreed?"
"uh-huh."
…
The village chief admitted.
He covets Wang Tiezhu’s strength!
So even if this matter would offend everyone in Osmanthus Village and cause the villagers to complain, he still had to deal with it!
Anyway, this is just a script. After tonight and tomorrow, they don't need to worry about the impact of their decisions and actions on future development.
When it's over, brush off your clothes and go away, hiding your merit and fame!
This is the motto of all script players!
but……
When the sound of footsteps came one after another at the end of the street, there were angry and crazy roars, and the villagers screamed at the top of their lungs to protest.
Suddenly it seemed like a flood beast was coming!
When he walked out of the yard again.
After seeing the messy and congested steps kicking up the dust, and seeing a large group of angry villagers holding hoes, axes, hatchets, pots and pans, and black clouds.
The village chief knows.
He can't hold it anymore!
The sanity of these villagers is really gone!
Making a prompt decision, the village chief made a decision!
He said with a tragic face: "Tie Zhu, you can go in peace. I will continue to stay in the enemy camp to obtain precious information for you. You can leave quickly! Leave the rest to me!"
A smile instantly broke out on Xu Shuo's face.
His smile was bright and warm, and with that expression, he had indeed encountered something very interesting, and had witnessed this wonderful show with his own eyes.
He joked: "Didn't you say you wanted to help me carry it?"
Why did you surrender before it even started?
Where has the turbulent momentum gone?
Village chief, you need to stand up!
The village chief, whose face was swollen from the beating, twitched his mouth: "If you don't leave, you won't have a chance. They will rush in with weapons in about two minutes to attack you. Anyway, I will definitely play you.
of."
Xu Shuo lazily stood up and picked up the cane placed on the stone table.
When the village chief saw this, his brows jumped: "You are not really planning to pick a hundred people, are you? My child, please don't be impulsive. There are really hundreds of people outside, and they are all crazy!"
"No plan."
Xu Shuo smiled.
He put away his cane, but suddenly reached out and snatched the village chief's cane away.
The village chief looked at him blankly.
Until the crutch, which had been coated with pulp, was split into two in the opponent's hand, and then was ruthlessly thrown into a pool of blood.
The village chief understood immediately when he saw this.
He immediately fell down from the stone bench with an "ouch", his expression was in pain, and it looked like he was more than just shaking his waist.
When it comes to acting, players are all professionals!
