The ruined Qiaojia Village is full of ruins and weeds as far as the eye can see.
Although it is daytime, stepping here always gives people an eerie feeling.
Every household here is deserted, and on the eaves on both sides of the main entrance outside the courtyard, rag dolls as big as palms are hung swaying in the wind.
The rag doll's eyes are painted vermilion, and its eyes reflect Zhou Fan's figure.
When Zhou Fan came closer and stared at it, it seemed to be looking at Zhou Fan with a grin and narrowed eyes.
"You said the villagers here hang these things! Are they used to ward off evil spirits?"
Zhao Hu took down a rag doll with some curiosity and found that it seemed to be somewhat similar to the blood-stained rag doll seen in the Kangyang Hospital.
Zhou Fan also took down a rag doll, and he could see at a glance that the two dolls were somewhat similar.
However, the smile in the Kangyang Hospital is relatively gentle, and overall it gives people a direct and warm feeling. Although it is stained with blood, it is not scary.
The rag dolls here give people a strange and evil feeling, and people can feel the strong malice coming from the rag dolls at a glance.
He looked at the barbs under the eaves and thought about the hooks used to hang rag dolls. They should have been used to hang lanterns during festivals.
Nowadays, some people have replaced all the lanterns with dolls. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives.
"Let's go! Let's go see other places!"
It was still broad daylight, and Zhou Fan planned to investigate Qiaojia Village first, so he called Zhao Hu.
The two walked along the rubble-strewn village, and from time to time they could smell a smell similar to rotting meat.
He entered some villagers' homes with some suspicion, but did not find any bodies in the houses.
Some of the houses were already empty, obviously everything had been taken away.
Some houses are filled with a dazzling array of daily necessities, but the houses have long been abandoned, with a thick layer of dust and spider webs all over the house.
Zhao Hu hated spider webs, so he wandered around outside instead of entering the house.
Zhou Fan just took a casual look at it. The smell of rotten wood, dampness, and mold in the house was not pleasant. He was about to turn around and leave, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a large wine vat in the corner.
The wine vat was probably used by the owner to make wine, but he vaguely smelled a faint rancid smell, which seemed to be coming from the wine vat.
Just when he was about to control the vines to lift the lid of the wine tank and check, Zhao Hu's call came from outside the door.
He quickly ran out of the house and found Zhao Hu standing on the roof.
"What are you doing?"
"Come up quickly!"
When Zhou Fan just asked confusedly, he heard Zhao Hu beckoning him to the roof as if he had discovered a new world.
Hearing the words, he couldn't help but step down and use the power of his embroidered shoes to easily fly up to the roof.
Zhao Hu looked envious for a while, and also knew that Zhou Fan's forbidden weapon was a pair of embroidered shoes. He couldn't help laughing before and said that Zhou Fan looked like a sissy when he wore embroidered shoes.
"Look!"
"There's a woman there!"
"..."
Zhou Fan jumped up to the roof. When he heard Zhao Hu excitedly pointing in the distance and saying that he had found a woman, the corners of his mouth twitched and he thought, are you thinking about spring?
But he still followed Zhao Hu's hand and looked over, and couldn't help but see a woman in white in the distance.
But the distance is too far, so some of them can't be seen clearly.
He looked around and found that as far as he could see, there seemed to be only that woman in the entire deserted village, and no other outsiders could be seen.
When something went wrong, there must be a demon. Zhou Fan quickly jumped off the roof with Zhao Hu and headed towards the direction where he found the woman.
...
...
Gloomy stars illuminate the window sill, and Bao'er holds a red thread in his hand.
She knits stitches one by one and stuffs cotton into dolls...
Baby, don't cry, don't cry, mother will find you something to eat when you're hungry, hehehe...
In the old courtyard, a crazy middle-aged woman with a dirty face was holding a rag doll and talking to herself.
Zhou Fan and Zhao Hu stood outside the house, looking at the woman's white washed clothes and looking at her unkempt and crazy look. They couldn't help but look at each other.
"who are you?"
"You are going to steal my child!"
"no, do not want......"
Suddenly, the woman pointed at Zhou Fan and Zhao Hu standing outside the courtyard gate, screamed with horror on her face, and fiercely protected the rag doll in her arms.
Then, she suddenly pulled out a butcher's knife from the doll's belly.
"Fuck!"
"Run quickly..."
Zhao Hu was startled, turned around and ran away while pulling Zhou Quan who also screamed in surprise.
If he was hacked to death by a madwoman, he would probably die in vain with no place to redress his grievances.
The two ran faster than rabbits, and finally ran out of Qiaojia Village.
A thousand meters away from Qiaojia Village is the Health Care Hospital. At this moment, the place has been sealed off and the police station is patrolling there, not allowing outsiders to approach.
"Did you two see the trick?"
"Why is your face so pale with fright?"
At this time, Pang Pang came over from a distance and asked jokingly.
"You two are really dedicated to your work. You are still hanging around here even though you are on vacation."
Pang Pang took out two bottles of drinks and handed them to Zhou Fan and Zhao Hu respectively, wondering how they came here.
Zhou Fan looked at Pang Pang curiously, because this guy came before with nothing.
So how did he take out two bottles of drinks out of thin air, and where did he take them out?
"Where did you get this drink from?"
It's a good habit to ask if you don't understand.
Pang Pang was smiling at first, but when he heard Zhou Fan's question, his face couldn't help but twitch.
"Fuck! I'll give you some water, but you're talking so much nonsense!"
Pang Pang cursed in annoyance, which made Zhou Fan even more suspicious, so he didn't drink water.
On the contrary, Zhao Hu drank all the drinks in a gulp and praised the drink.
"Ding dong!"
At this time, Zhou Fan received a message.
He opened it and found that it was from Li Yalan. The content of the message was a bit long, and it was all information about Qiao Dabao.
One of them caught Zhou Fan's attention, and it was the only piece of information related to Qiaojia Village.
Qiao Dabao, the son of Chen Jiaojiao and Qiao Han in Qiaojia Village, was born with a mental defect and was often bullied by the children in the village.
He disappeared inexplicably when he was eight years old. After years of searching to no avail, the police declared him lost and issued a death certificate to cancel his account.
Zhou Fan looked at the information on his phone and felt that he had found Qiao Dabao's life experience.
And his father, George Han, seemed to be the villager who blocked the demolition and whose body was found together with the old village chief.
In other words, could Qiao Dabao's disappearance be related to the old village chief?
He quickly sent a message back to Li Yalan and asked her to help check the old village chief of Qiaojia Village and the news about Qiao Han's family.
"Chen Jiaojiao?"
"Are you checking Qiaojia Village?"
Pang Pang obviously also saw the contents of the phone, and couldn't help looking at Zhou Fan in surprise.
Before Zhou Fan could ask, he whispered: "Don't go to Qiaojia Village at night!"
"I have heard that there is trouble in Qiaojia Village before. The crazy woman in the village is Chen Jiaojiao, the wife of Qiao Han whose body was found."
"She was the only one in the whole village. At night, a dark wind would blow in the village, and the sound of women crying could be heard, which could scare people to death."
Pang Pang shuddered as he spoke, and finally ran away.
Zhou Fan looked at Pang Pang who had disappeared in the blink of an eye with a speechless face, and couldn't help but shook his head.
"You doubt it?"
Zhao Hu's eyes flickered, hesitating to speak, he looked at Zhou Fan and asked.
"It's just a guess, but I'm afraid we have to risk exploring Qiaojia Village at night!"
Zhou Fan couldn't confirm his guess yet, so he interrupted the evening to confirm it.
"I made an appointment with a girl to flip the sheets, you'd better go by yourself!"
"If you go, then I won't care. The murderer didn't kill my father anyway!"
