When I was on the top of the mountain, I observed Hongye Village. The village is not too big. It can even be said to be a little small. The total population of the whole village is only 500. The houses are basically wooden houses with only a very small amount of soil.
Brick houses are not visible at all, but after thinking about it, it is true. After all, if you want to build a brick house, how to transport the bricks into this mountain is a big problem. There are a lot of fields outside the village.
, there are no people in the fields now, most of them are probably cooking at home. What makes me curious is why they didn’t move out of this mountain, but chose to stay in this isolated place, but after thinking about it,
There is no conclusion, let alone asking Chen Lei, he has no idea.
I followed Chen Lei into the village. Many people were eating in the house. I saw Chen Lei coming out to say hello one by one. It seemed that Chen Lei was very popular among these people, but when they saw me, they all asked about me.
Chen Lei told them with a smile that I was a police officer and I came to investigate Xiaoxiang's case.
Those villagers were very simple. When they first heard that I was a policeman, they all looked at me with respect, which made me feel embarrassed. These villagers had little education. They felt that the police were educated people and intellectuals, so they must be respected. However,
As soon as they heard that I was here to investigate Xiaoxiang's case, their expressions immediately froze. I was even more surprised, what could scare these simple villagers like this?
Along the way, I followed Chen Lei and turned left and right, which made me dizzy. Finally, I came to a very old-looking wooden house. Chen Lei took me and pushed the door directly in, shouting loudly: "
Village chief, the police comrades are here, come out quickly."
It is quite dark inside, with a dirt floor. There is also an offering table in the middle of the hall, with some wild fruits and incense candles on it, enshrining the portrait of the Supreme Lord.
"Xiao Leizi, have you gone out and found a police comrade for help? Okay." As soon as I entered the inner room, an old voice came.
"Comrade police, please wait a moment. I'll help the village chief out." Chen Lei whispered to me, and then ran into the inner room, and I heard coughs coming from inside.
From the sound of his voice, it seems that this old man is not in good health.
After a while, Chen Lei helped an old man with white hair come out. It looked like this old man must be in his eighties no matter what, with wrinkles on his face.
"Hello, old man, I am the policeman sent to investigate this matter. My name is Wu Jiu." I shouted loudly in the old man's ear.
"Oh, keep your voice down, my ears are almost shattered by you. Although I am old, my hearing is still good. By the way, what is your name?" the old village chief rubbed his ears and glared at me.
"My name is Wu Jiu." My voice was softer this time.
"Ah, oh." The old man's expression was a little startled, and he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.
I looked strange and wondered what the old man's reaction meant, so I asked him: "Does the old man know me?"
Unexpectedly, the old man looked panicked and replied: "I don't know you. Comrade police, you should tell me how you want to solve the haunting problem in our village."
Looking at the old man's expression, I felt that there must be something going on, but I knew that curiosity killed the cat, and it would do me no good to ask any more questions, so I stopped asking and replied: "I don't care about the haunting for the time being.
I don’t know what kind of ghost it is, so I have to observe it first at night. If there is a chance, I might be able to help the village solve the haunted matter tonight."
After hearing this, the village chief nodded and said: "Well, let's do this first, Xiao Leizi, make some food for the police comrades first, and then arrange for him to stay at your house. I will go back to the house to rest first.
I'm gone." After saying that, he hurried back to the house without even looking back. I looked strange and felt like this old man was avoiding me. I'm not ugly either.
In fact, Chen Lei just brought me to say hello to the village chief. After hearing what the village chief said, he took me out and walked around the village for a while before arriving at his house. His house and other wooden houses
The house is different, it is made of mud, and it seems that the conditions of the house are worse than other houses in the village.
"Comrade policeman, sit down wherever you like. I'll ask my grandpa to come out." After Chen Lei finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and walk back into the house. I immediately stopped him and said, "Forget it, it's better not to disturb the old man. I'm sorry. By the way."
Where are the parents?"
After hearing what I said, Chen Lei's originally cheerful mood suddenly became depressed, and he whispered: "My parents died when I was a child, and it was my grandpa who raised me."
When I heard this, I immediately said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention it."
"It's okay, it's nothing. I'm used to it anyway." Chen Lei raised his head and said with a stiff smile. After that, he turned around and walked into a room that looked like a kitchen to start tinkering. Although he forced a smile, I still felt
It turns out that he was quite disappointed. I can understand his feelings, because I have no impression of my parents anymore. When I asked the master, he never told me what was going on. He only told me the story of Hongye Village, etc.
Wait, I was stunned for a moment. This place is also called Hongye Village. Does it have any relationship? Thinking about the village chief's reaction, I suddenly became excited. Could this be the village where I was born?
Although I was very excited at this time, I still planned to solve the haunting issue first and then ask the village chief about it. I couldn't rush it now.
"Brother Chen, let me help you cook." Sitting in the room was quite boring, and I couldn't stand it anymore when I saw Chen Lei working alone inside.
"How can that be done? Comrade policeman, you are an educated person and cannot do such rough work." Unexpectedly, Chen Lei objected.
"What's the point? I grew up in a rural county, and I'm not one of those young masters who grew up in the city." I said and walked in, then walked to the place where the fire was made, and started a fire. Chen Lei saw
I said this, but he didn't say anything.
"Brother Chen, tell me what the fragrant person was like before." It suddenly occurred to me that even if she is a ghost, her character is also very important, just like the previous extremely negative evil spirit, although she has become a ghost
Evil ghost, but she has a kind heart, so it is easy to persuade her to reincarnate, so she must first understand the news about this fragrance.
Chen Lei was cooking. After listening to my words, he thought for a while and said, "I told you about Xiaoxiang. Xiaoxiang is very gentle and kind. It is impossible for him to do harm to others. This is the only explanation.
Why did she become a ghost but never harmed anyone? Because I grew up watching her. Hong Chengze also liked her very much. They were very good friends and were about to get married. It was the woman in the city who fascinated him.
Stay, hey."
After hearing this, I nodded and said: "It seems that this Xiaoxiang has not turned into a ghost, but the strange thing is that she still remains in the world. It is really strange. Maybe she has some unfulfilled wishes, and she can be reincarnated only after they are fulfilled.
"
"Wish? What other wishes can there be? Her only wish before was to get married to Hong Chengze. It can't be this, right?" Chen Lei asked doubtfully.
I shook my head. Although there is indeed such a thing as ghost marriage, it is too harmful to one's moral character. The main reason is that the human partner will be greatly harmed, ranging from illness to illness or shortened life. If her wish is really like this.
I think, then I can only save her or kill her, but if there are other things, as long as it does not damage her moral character and is very difficult to accomplish, I can help her complete it, so that she can reincarnate with peace of mind.
Then I chatted with Chen Lei about other things, chatting here and there. Anyway, it was just chatting here and there. I also learned a lot about it, such as some common sense about survival in the mountains. Then I made a meal and started eating.
Not to mention, it is really delicious. As expected of the rice made by my fire, it tastes different.
After dinner, Chen Lei found a room for me, tidied it up briefly, and I went in to sleep. The main thing was to prepare for tonight's events. After all, I didn't get a good rest last night, and my head is still dizzy. Lie down.
As soon as I closed my eyes, it felt like it only took about ten seconds before I fell asleep.
