"After he helped our village resolve the crisis, the villagers treated him to a meal together. My son ate at the same table as him. I heard my son say that while they were chatting, they reached the head of the village.
things.
The villagers joked that if Wang Dongliang came to the village as the village chief, they would not have to worry about selling the seafood in the village, and they could sell it at a high price.
At that time, Wang Dongliang agreed as a joke, but the villagers did not take it seriously. But two months after the dinner, Wang Dongliang suddenly came to the village and said that he would move to the village. The villagers considered it in their own interests.
, 99% of them welcome Wang Dongliang to become a villager in Wangjiagang Village, and some even say that Wang Dongliang should be directly appointed as the village chief.
But the one percent who are not welcome are the family of Wang Limin, the former village chief and secretary. He knows very well that Wang Dongliang will definitely take his place. After all, Wang Dongliang can make the villagers sell seafood.
He can't get it faster and sell it at a higher price.
Wang Dongliang soon moved to the village. In the election two months later, Wang Dongliang won the election and became the village chief and secretary.
In the two years after Wang Dongliang became the village chief, the shipping speed of seafood in our village was indeed faster than that of other villages, and the prices were higher than those of other villages. With Wang Dongliang holding the bottom, the villagers became more courageous.
More seafood was farmed, and the villagers made a lot of money in those two years, and their families became more prosperous.
However, starting from the year before last year, the output of various aquatic products has decreased. Last year, they were about to break even, and there were also a series of disappearances.
From the increase in villagers' income, to the decrease in villagers' income, to the disappearance of villagers, Wang Dongliang has always shown a very responsible look. I still think highly of him, but there is one thing that I always think about.
I can't understand." At this point, the old lady's voice paused slightly.
"What's the matter?" Li Yawen followed closely.
"The day after my son and daughter-in-law disappeared, Wang Dongliang's daughter-in-law and son left our village together. At first, people in the village thought they were going back to their hometown to visit relatives, but since they left, they have never come back.
." said the old lady.
After hearing the old lady's words, Zhang Fan and Li Yawen frowned slightly and looked at each other.
"Is there anything I can't understand? If people see that there is danger in the village, it's normal not to come back." Li Yawen said.
"I saw that the village was in danger of deviating from normalcy, but there was something abnormal about it." The old lady shook her head.
"How do you say it?" Li Yawen asked.
"My son and my daughter-in-law were the first missing people in the village. The second missing person was a month later, and the third missing person was a month after the second missing person. Moreover, the weather in those days was
Neither was good, which is why the villagers didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was a natural disaster rather than a natural disaster. It was only in the fourth month that the number of deaths increased, which attracted the attention of the villagers.
Think about it, within three months after my son and daughter-in-law disappeared, the villagers thought it was a natural disaster. He saw the danger in the village the day after my son and daughter-in-law's accident, and took his daughter-in-law away.
Get back together with my son
"He's so amazing, isn't he?" The old lady said, "By the way, his son was in his third year of high school at that time, and he went to the best high school in the county. Our province and city in central China are famous for their high score lines. Because of the high score lines, students
The test scores are also high. Wang Dongliang is from the south, and his son’s household registration is still in the south. The score line there is low. If he studies well in the critical year of senior high school here, he will definitely be able to pass the exam when he goes back.
It is a key university. As a parent, if there is an opportunity for him to stay, he will not let him leave at this time. After all, this is related to the future of the child."
"I still don't understand Village Chief Wang's behavior." The old lady repeated again.
Zhang Fan and Li Yawen looked at each other. From the beginning of the conversation with Wang Dongliang, Zhang Fan felt that something was wrong with Village Chief Wang, but he was not sure that Wang Dongliang was related to this matter.
However, judging from what the old lady just said, the reason why Wang Dongliang asked his son and his wife to leave was probably to obtain some information about this matter. Even if Wang Dongliang has nothing to do with this matter,
At least he is an insider.
Since Wang Dongliang knew that something dangerous was about to happen in the village, why did he only let his son and his wife leave while he did not leave and stayed for a year? Zhang Fan did not understand this.
place.
"Old lady, what has Wang Dongliang done in the past nearly a year since his wife and son left?" Zhang Fan asked.
The old lady glanced at Zhang Fan, thought for a while and then replied: "The villagers did not feel the danger in the first three months. Wang Dongliang lived the same life as before, collecting some seafood and going to each house from time to time.
have a look.
In the fourth month, after the villagers sensed something unusual, he, who had never gone to sea, followed a few boats out to sea several times in order to find out the cause, but he found nothing. Fortunately, he did not
Disappeared and came back alive.
After he came back, he called the police, and he left the investigation of the case in the hands of the police. He only played a cooperating role, and his main energy was focused on collecting seafood again.
Just yesterday afternoon he came to my house and asked if we had encountered any difficulties in our lives. If we encounter any difficulties, please tell him at any time and he will definitely take care of us. He also recognized my grandson as his godson."
"You all believe in those monsters and immortals. Has your village chief ever gone to see the immortals about this matter?" Zhang Fan asked. Judging from Wang Dongliang's appearance, there are traces of Wang Dongliang's contact with spirits these days.
"Looking for Da Xian'er?" The old lady raised her eyebrows first, then shook her head and said, "Wang Dongliang has never believed in this, and he has also educated the villagers, saying that they should believe in science and oppose superstition, but we have all believed it for so many years.
I'm already used to it, and what the Xianjia said is indeed accurate, and his teachings have not shaken the minds of the villagers."
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Li Yawen's face, and then he turned his attention to Zhang Fan.
Through various previous signs, it can only be proved that Wang Dongliang probably knows some of the inside story, and now Wang Dongliang deliberately conceals his connection with the spirits, which makes Zhang Fan and Li Yawen suspect that Wang Dongliang has been involved in this matter.
