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."
