Xiao Gu'er took a long puff of cigarette, sighed, and slowly told his story in a hoarse voice. Throughout the whole process, Chen Zhi did not interrupt him, but listened silently.
.
Xiao Gu'er has been a well-known good student in the town since he was a child. Teachers in the town say that he is probably the first boy in Wolong Town to be admitted to college. People in the town are envious of the fact that Lao Gu's family has a literary star.
There were many girls in the neighborhood who had a crush on him, and the people who came to propose marriage would break down the threshold of their home.
But Xiao Gu'er has never been tempted, he has someone he likes.
Because Xiao Gu'er's home runs a department store, Xiao Gu'er has been accustomed to traveling across mountains and ridges since he was a child, following his father to various villages in the mountains to collect mountain goods and sell fresh items from the city.
That year, he was only sixteen years old. Because he often visited the Fox Fairy Village and often sold girls' belongings, he gradually got to know the living fox's great-grandson daughter, Mai Sui'er.
The living fox has a very high reputation in Fox Fairy Village. This old lady rarely shows up. She has no boys in the family and only has two granddaughters. Maisuier is her eldest granddaughter. Maisuier was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time.
, very cute and beautiful, like a clear spring water in the mountains, flowing into Xiao Gu'er's heart.
Xiao Gu'er soon fell in love with her and fell in love with Mai Sui'er. The love in their teenage years was pure and sincere. Their relationship was very good. Xiao Gu'er once used the pocket money he had saved for a year to buy Mai Sui'er.
A unique platinum bracelet that Maisui likes very much and wears it every day.
Mai Sui'er often mysteriously told Xiao Gu'er that they must not let the villagers know about their relationship. People in Fox Fairy Village are superstitious and closed-minded and rarely marry outsiders. What's more, she is the granddaughter of a living fox. Villagers
If she and her great-grandmother found out about them, it would be very bad.
When Maisui'er and her sister were very young, their mother died. She could barely remember her mother, and they had never met her father. Only her great-grandmother lived with her two sisters. But her great-grandmother was usually very serious and basically
Living in the ancestral hall, many people usually came to see her great-grandmother, and the things she did were very mysterious. The two sisters did not dare to talk to her great-grandmother.
In this way, no one in the village knew about Xiao Gu'er and Mai Sui'er's love affair. They often secretly dated in the mountains. Xiao Gu'er planned in his mind that after he was admitted to college and had some confidence, he would ask his father to come to the Fox Fairy Village.
Propose marriage.
At that time, no one in Huxian Village had a mobile phone, and the signal in the mountains was very weak. It happened that Xiao Gu's store had a few mobile phones, so Xiao Gu'er secretly gave Maisui'er a very compact one.
A small mobile phone with a red flip cover. Although the signal is not very good in the mountains, the two of us can often communicate.
Later, Xiao Gu'er was so nervous about studying before the college entrance examination that he didn't go to Huxian Village for several months, but he kept in touch with Mai Sui'er on the phone. On the day when the college entrance examination results came out, he received the university admission notice at the post office in the town.
Book. He ran home excitedly and wanted to be the first to tell Mai Sui'er, but found that Mai Sui'er never answered the phone. Xiaogu felt very confused because Mai Sui'er usually carried this phone with him like a treasure.
, he would answer the phone as soon as it rang. I don’t know what happened this time. At night, Xiao Gu’er’s cell phone suddenly rang, and it was Mai Sui’er calling. I could only hear Mai Sui’s son shouting softly on the phone,
"Save me quickly, they are going to sacrifice me to the Fox Fairy" and then heard a loud "bang". Maisui'er didn't speak any more, and could only hear her painful breathing, as if she was struggling with difficulty, and the cry of the fox.
Voice.
"The cry of the fox? Did you hear it clearly?" Chen Zhi interrupted Xiao Gu'er. What he just said surprised him.
"You heard me clearly," Xiao Gu'er nodded and said, "I have been in the mountains all year round, and I know very clearly what animals call me. When I answered the phone, I didn't realize what was going on, and I heard the rustling of leaves over there, and
The sound of running water, and then the sound of Maisui'er's breathing. And then, the sound of a fox's howl sounded faintly on the phone." Xiao Gu'er said affirmatively.
Xiao Gu'er sighed and continued, "I was scared at the time, thinking something had happened to Mai Sui'er in the mountains. Early the next morning, I ran into the mountains. Fox Fairy Village was very far away. It took two days to walk.
Mountain road. When I entered the Fox Fairy Village after a long journey, the villagers told me that Maisuier was seriously ill and had been dead for more than a month. He was buried in the back mountain and was not allowed to see me. No one was alive.
, dead without a corpse.”
When Xiao Gu'er said this, he lowered his head with a sad look on his face. "I know that everyone in Fox Fairy Village is lying, because I have been on the phone with Mai Sui'er before. If Mai Sui'er dies,
Then the person who talked to me two days ago was not a ghost?"
"Do you suspect that she is not dead, but was hidden by the villagers?" Chen Zhi asked.
"I used to think so," Xiao Gu'er whispered. "At that time, in order to find Maisui'er, I ventured into the mountains in the middle of the night and hid in the Fox Fairy Village for a few days to observe. I found that the people in the Fox Fairy Village,
We all have a habit of gathering at the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village every day when the moon rises. It looks mysterious.
I followed quietly, hiding outside the window and looking in, and found that everyone in the village was kneeling on the ground, praying upwards. Sitting high above the ancestral hall, the person receiving the worship was Maisui'er's great-grandmother, the living fox.
.
The old lady sat high on it like a god, with heavy makeup on her face to look like ghosts and gods. She put her hands on her knees and remained motionless, accepting the villagers' worship. On her old wrists, I saw bright lights.
The thing I bought turned out to be the bracelet I gave to Mai Sui'er. At that time, I was sure that the old witch must have killed Mai Sui'er. She knew about the matter between Mai Sui and me, so she used the wheat ear to sacrifice to the fox.
Immortal." Xiao Gu said excitedly and angrily.
"The villagers here are very superstitious, and living foxes have a very high status. I will not seek help from the police. I originally wanted to go to school first and then make further plans. But what I didn't expect was that within a few days, Mai Sui'er called again.
coming."
"What did you say?" Xiao Gu'er's words shocked Chen Zhi greatly. He knew that an educated person like Xiao Gu'er could speak with a certain degree of credibility.
An incredible expression appeared on Xiao Gu'er's face, and he said: A few days later, in the middle of the night, Mai Sui'er called again. I was scared at first, but I still answered it. No one spoke on the other side of the phone, only
Heavy breathing".
"Breathing sound? Do you think that breathing sound is made by Mai Sui'er?" Chen Zhi asked.
"Yes, Xiao Gu'er nodded." I am very familiar with Mai Sui'er's breathing sound. I can never hear it wrong. The caller must be her. In this way, the phone often rang in the middle of the night. Until the end of last year, Mai Sui'er
There has never been a call from my son. I checked and found that no one had paid her phone bill except that I renewed her phone bill a few times intermittently. Until she later fell into arrears, her number was only given to me.
Called."
Having said this, Xiao Gu'er paused, gritted his teeth and said.
"I have basically determined that Mai Sui'er should have been murdered. The murderer is in that village. It is probably the living fox. Mai Sui'er called me from the underworld and asked me to avenge her."
