"Don't scream Dahuang! Why are you screaming in the middle of the night? If you scream again I'll kill you!"
Hearing the yellow dog barking, Feng Qiulan didn't take it seriously. After all, it was just a beast. He kept it to guard the house and guard the house against thieves. In this situation, how could there be thieves in the house? Sure enough, the big yellow dog woke up inexplicably.
He barked suddenly, the woman just scolded him casually, ignored him, then turned around and opened the cylinder cover.
Obviously, she wants to hold water.
But who would have thought...
As soon as she opened the lid of the tank, before Feng Qiulan could pick up the water ladle, the originally quiet and smooth water in the tank suddenly rose into a large group of violent splashes!
Wow!
The water flow spread out in all directions, and the water splashed up and down. Seeing this scene, Feng Qiulan was stunned in front of the water tank.
Things are not over, far from over...
Sooner or later, just when Feng Qiulan was stunned, as the water surged, an arm as pale as paper came into view like lightning and rushed towards the door!
A human hand suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the tank and immediately grabbed the woman's hair.
It wasn't until someone grabbed her hair and severe pain came from her scalp that Feng Qiulan started to struggle out of instinct. Unfortunately, her struggle was meaningless. The arm in the water came and went quickly. It can be said that she just grabbed Feng Qiulan's hair in the blink of an eye.
Then he retracted into the water in the tank.
but……
It wasn't just the arms that were retracted, Feng Qiulan, who was being held tightly by human hands, was also submerged into the water!
………
In the darkness of midnight and early morning, Feng Qiulan suddenly encountered a sudden change when she opened the water tank.
Water splashed inexplicably in the tank, and a human hand emerged from the water. The human hand grabbed the woman's hair with lightning speed. After grabbing it, it suddenly pulled down. It was fast, very fast, so fast that no one could react in time. In the blink of an eye,
Even before Feng Qiulan could scream, his arms had already dragged Feng Qiulan into the water tank at an unimaginable speed!
Plop, clatter!
There was a big splash of water in the tank again.
The water splash didn't splash for too long, and the sound didn't last too long. After a few seconds, the water tank became calm. As the water tank returned to calm, if you look closely, you can easily see things in the tank clearly through the moonlight.
As far as the eye can see, the water tank is still full of water, and the water at the bottom is clearly visible.
There is nothing in the water.
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
In the courtyard, the big yellow dog chained up was still barking loudly.
As for...
The camera moved to the toilet. At this moment, the small toilet was empty. Zheng Dashan who first came in had no trace left. There was only one thing left on the scene, a candle, which Zheng Dashan had brought with him when he went to the toilet.
The candle that came in is still standing on the ground.
Because it burned for a long time, only a small section of the candle remained, and the flame became weaker and weaker, indicating that it was about to be extinguished.
"Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
The barking of dogs broke the tranquility in the courtyard and the tranquility in the village. It was so clear and harsh in this dead silent village.
………
The alternation of day and night is an eternal principle. After the seemingly peaceful night, day comes and begins to replace night as the master of the world.
Many roosters in the village began to crow, and they used their crows to inform people that a new day had begun. However, unfortunately, unlike the past, even if the night faded and the day came, the village was still dead and no longer as noisy and lively as before.
In addition, today is not a sunny day, but a cloudy day, and the sky is a little darker than yesterday.
After all, the village chief's house is the village chief's house. Although it is not as good as an urban house, at least it is good in Jingtao Village. The rather spacious courtyard not only has enough room for people to live in, but the bedding in the house is also brand new.
squeak.
"Ah... Phew!"
Pushing open the door, He Fei walked out of the west room with a tired face, and Zhao Chengbing who followed closely rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Obviously, just from the sleep-deprived appearance of the two of them, it can be seen that they did not sleep well last night. The reason is very simple. As early as before going to bed last night, He Fei forcibly set a rule for himself and Zhao Chengbing.
, a rule that must be followed every night before completing the task.
Take turns to keep vigil and take turns to sleep. At least one person must be awake at night, and two people must not sleep together!
Although Zhao Chengbing had been panicking and scared since he entered the village, he was not an idiot after all. Faced with He Fei's suggestion, he readily agreed to the suggestion as he knew the meaning of the word "蝞", and last night the two of them did take turns to keep vigil to maintain their integrity.
Pass.
It's a pity that there are gains and losses. Due to safety considerations, how can the two people who only slept half the night be energetic this morning?
He and Fei thought they got up very early, but they, who had lived in the city for a long time, didn't know that people in the countryside got up earlier than they did. As soon as they walked out of the West Room, they saw that the courtyard had been busy for a long time.
Xiaoxia, who was dressed in a simple floral dress, was pouring fodder for the big cattle next to the cowshed on the north side. There was a small wooden table in the middle of the courtyard, with steamed buns, pickles and other simple food on the table. Village Chief Yang was still sitting at the table with a bitter expression.
, frowning and smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth.
As time went by, the old man's uneasiness seemed to become more and more intense.
Seeing that the two city dwellers who stayed at home yesterday woke up from their sleep, and saw that they were safe and sound, Village Chief Yang hurriedly greeted the two of them: "You're awake, come on, come on, come and have breakfast."
."
As I said before, although people are trapped in the village, although people disappear mysteriously every day, and the fear of death is always oppressing the remaining villagers, as long as people are still alive, they must eat, otherwise you will starve to death before the worms kill you.
Not unfair? In addition, like other villagers, Village Chief Yang’s family also has the habit of storing food, and this is the main reason why everyone can still persist until now even though no one dares to go out recently.
Of course, it cannot be said that everything is stored, at least the water in the water tank at Village Chief Yang's house is almost bottoming out.
Fortunately, there is a well not far from home, and what's even more coincidental is that if Xiaoxia hadn't gone out to fetch water yesterday, she wouldn't have bumped into He Fei and the two.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Two? Two gentlemen?"
Seeing that no one responded to his greeting, and seeing the two people across from him staring at the courtyard in a daze, the cigarette pole knocked on the table, and Village Chief Yang spoke up again.
"Uh, ah! Good morning, Village Chief Yang, good morning."
After coming back to his senses, He Fei quickly responded politely, and immediately sat at the table with Zhao Chengbing as instructed by the old man.
"Eat first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after dinner." Village Chief Yang, who is in his seventies, is really a mature man. He can see through many things with just one glance. He noticed that the two of them were a little awkward. The old man didn't talk nonsense and said hello first.
By the way, he pointed at the food on the table and added: "There is nothing delicious in the countryside. It just fills your stomach. Please forgive me if it doesn't suit your taste."
Although Village Chief Yang was being polite, He Fei and Zhao Chengbing were not as thick-skinned as they thought. They were living in someone else's house and eating their food. Even if it really didn't suit their taste, they wouldn't be able to say it. Moreover, the food they ate was still someone else's food.
In other words, the more polite the other party is, the more embarrassed they will be. Sure enough, as soon as the old man finished speaking, the two of them shook their heads to express their fear, and then picked up their chopsticks and wolfed down the food.
As the saying goes, people are different. With the intention of staying up for three days, Zhao Chengbing didn't think too much. He was already fat and just immersed himself in eating. As for He Fei, he only took a few bites. The young man raised his head and glanced around as if he had thought of something.
Observing the scene, he glanced at Xiaoxia, who was still busy opposite, and immediately turned his gaze to the old man and asked, "Huh? Village Chief Yang, why don't you and Xiaoxia eat?"
"My grandson and I ate half an hour ago."
"oh."
Hearing that the other party had already eaten, He Fei put aside his worries and formally packed up the food in front of him with Zhao Chengbing.
Time passed quickly. After breakfast, it was a little busy before noon. Based on yesterday's thoughts, He Fei also planned to tell everyone some of the guesses he had thought up in the evening. However, before he could speak, he was smoking in front of the wooden table.
After a long while, Village Chief Yang suddenly stood up after sighing, and then strode towards the courtyard gate as if he had made some kind of decision.
"Grandpa, where are you going?"
"Wait a minute, Village Chief Yang, what are you..."
As expected, Xiaoxia, who had just finished her farm work, was instinctively startled when she saw her grandpa about to go out. She asked He Fei almost at the same time.
Hearing the inquiry, ignoring his granddaughter, Village Chief Yang stopped and turned around, and replied to He Fei alone: "Young man, you were right about what you said yesterday. There is indeed something about why Mrs. Chen couldn't calculate the location of Zhao Huanzhen's body.
Weird, I also thought about it last night. This matter must be clarified no matter what. I plan to go to Mrs. Chen to ask the reason and whether the body can still be found. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, the old man will risk his life.
If you have to do it, at least let Xiaoxia survive. As for the two of you..."
"You two are both young, so you should stay at home with Xiaoxia."
In fact, the meaning is very obvious at this point. It is the same as Village Chief Yang's self-expression yesterday. Faced with the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by Li Qi, Village Chief Yang himself in his seventies is not afraid of death. The old man is not afraid of death, but he
But he is very concerned about the life and death of his granddaughter. Because of this, this also explains why Village Chief Yang has been frowning recently. It is obvious that the old man wants to solve the incident, and his eagerness is no less than that of He Fei.
As mentioned above, because he was concerned about his granddaughter's safety, after thinking about it all night, Village Chief Yang made up his mind early this morning. He decided to ask Mrs. Chen no matter what, whether the body could still be found, and there was nothing he could find.
Needless to say, if he can find it, then he will do it himself regardless of the risks, and he will stop the killing even if he dies!
However...
Just when Village Chief Yang made up his mind and turned around to leave, the next moment, He Fei also left his seat and stood up. Next, He Fei's expression also changed, becoming solemn and extremely serious. At the same time,
At the same time, he also said something that puzzled the old man and everyone present:
"Village Chief Yang, if the purpose is to solve the incident, I personally think that I...maybe more suitable to meet Granny Chen than you are if you are older."
