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 old witch, the living fox. The reason why Mai Sui'er's ghost is still alive is that she called me from the underworld.
Let me avenge her."
When Chen Zhi heard what Xiao Gu'er said, he felt that this rural boy had a lot of imagination. So he asked him, "Even if you see a live fox wearing Mai Sui'er's bracelet, you can't be sure that she is the murderer. Maybe it's Mai Sui'er."
After his death, his great-grandmother missed her, so she left her bracelet as a memorial. And would an old lady kill her great-granddaughter just because she fell in love?" Chen Zhi was very doubtful about this matter.
"It's definitely her," Xiao Gu'er said with certainty. After that, I pretended to be crazy because I failed the college entrance examination. When I went to Fox Fairy Village pretending to be a fool, no one paid attention to me because no one knew about Mai Sui'er and me.
But I found that the old witch often hides in the corner and looks at me secretly, her eyes are very strange, there must be something wrong with that old witch." Xiao Gu'er said very firmly.
After listening to Xiao Gu'er's story, Chen Zhi sorted out the whole incident in his mind. He thought that Mai Sui'er should be dead and that the call might have been made by someone else. But Xiao Gu was concerned about Mai Sui'er's breathing on the phone.
If the sound is so certain, this matter does not make sense.
"Then how long are you going to keep pretending to be crazy and acting stupid like this?" Chen Zhi asked.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Xiao Gu'er looked helplessly at the ground, "I'm pretending to be crazy now to protect my dad. In this ravine, everyone is superstitious. The prestige of living foxes is very high. If she wants to kill me, those
The superstitious villagers could bury my father and I alive without hesitation. And..." Xiao Gu'er paused and said, "Mai Sui'er died because she loved me. I can't let her die in an unknown way."
Xiao Guer's words touched Chen Zhi and reminded him of Shasha. Shasha's matter was like a needle, pricking Chen Zhi's heart. For a long time, Chen Zhi avoided talking about Shasha.
He also refused to think about it. Even if Mr. Bao went to Beijing to take care of Sha Sha's funeral, he didn't want to ask more questions. Sha Sha had become a permanent thorn in Chen Zhi's heart and he didn't want to touch it easily.
Chen Zhi stood up, patted his pants and said, "Let's go to the fox village first and take a look! It depends on the situation. Don't pretend to be crazy in front of us, but you have to continue pretending when you enter the village."
During dinner, Fat Wei and Gui Dao shot a mountain rabbit, so they had roast rabbit meat for dinner. The aroma of barbecue filled the mountains, and Fat Wei and Qin Yueyang were very surprised by the changes in Xiao Gu'er.
He believed that the world was changing all the time, but Gui Dao's reaction was very dull. He probably already felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Gu.
The night in the mountains was very cold, and the cold wind from the Daxingan Mountains blew against their faces. Everyone's faces began to become red and swollen. Fortunately, Chen Zhi and the others had prepared thickened outdoor sleeping bags in advance. Xiao Guer told everyone to pack up the leftover bones and throw them away.
Go far away, otherwise the remaining food in this deep mountain and old forest will attract many big beasts. Moreover, the bonfire cannot be extinguished.
In this way, after everyone spent the night in the mountains, the next morning, at dawn, everyone was led by Xiao Gu'er and started walking towards the legendary Fox Fairy Village.
Although it was April, there was still a lot of frost on the trees in the mountains. Carrying heavy travel backpacks, Chen Zhi and his party walked through the dense woods and finally descended from the dirt road to the entrance of Huxian Village.
After Chen Zhi entered the village, he first took a look at the village. It was really a very old village, as if time outside had never flowed here. The stone road at the entrance of the village was built in an unknown era, and it was shiny from being stepped on.
There is still some residual snow on the ground, and here and there in the village you can see farmyards with fences surrounded by white birch trees. The mud houses smeared with yellow mud look simple and simple, and they don't know how many years ago.
The wind in the village is cold and hard, and some of the shady windows in the yard are covered with frost, and cotton curtains are hung on them. There are stone mills, rollers and windlass wells at the entrance of the village, which seem to be for public use. Several of them are elderly.
The old man was sitting in the open space at the entrance of the village with a long pipe of tobacco. When he saw Chen Zhi and other foreigners coming in, they immediately stood up nervously.
Chen Zhi discovered that this village did not welcome outsiders. After a while, the villagers came to the open space and surrounded Chen Zhi and others. Everyone stared at them with hostility in their eyes.
At this time, a girl walked towards them from the crowd. She looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old and seemed to have a high status among the villagers. The villagers immediately made way for her.
The girl was wearing coarse clothes, with a ponytail, and a clean face. She first looked at Chen Zhi and the others from top to bottom, then walked up to Xiao Gu'er and said, "You idiot Gu, take these with you.
What are outsiders doing here? You know we don’t welcome outsiders in our village." After saying this, he glared at Fat Wei fiercely.
At this time, Xiao Gu'er smiled silly and stammered: "Sister Ye Zi, this person is seriously ill and has come all the way to find the Fox Fairy Mother. My dad asked me to take him into the village to see if he can ask for the Fox Fairy Mother.
Save him." After saying that, he pointed at Fat Wei.
In fact, to be honest, Xiao Gu'er's acting skills are really bad. Chen Zhi wondered why no one suspected that he was pretending to be crazy. Maybe it was because the mountain people were simple. In short, the girl named Ye Zi really regarded him as a fool.
Completely unprotected.
Ye Zi frowned after listening to Xiao Gu'er's words and said disdainfully. "Tsk, Uncle Gu is getting more and more confused as he gets older. How can there be such a thing as a fox fairy? Those are all superstitions. If you are sick, go to the hospital. How can my great-grandmother see a doctor?"
Take them away quickly!"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, she saw the villagers collectively taking a step forward, and the hostility in their eyes became stronger, as if they wanted to eat Chen Zhi and the others.
At this time, Fat Wei saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately walked over and said: "Miss, you are so beautiful, why are you so cruel? We walked on the mountain road for two days, and now my legs are almost cramped, and I am still seriously ill.
The patient can fall to the ground at any time. Otherwise, why don't you give me a drink first and then send us away?"
After hearing what Fat Wei said, the girl glanced at Xiao Gu'er again, seeming to still care about Lao Gutou's face. She shook her ponytail and said, "Okay! Then come to my house to drink some water and take a rest.
You must leave the village before dark.
After hearing what the girl said, the villagers behind them relaxed their vigilance and scattered away. In this way, the girl led Chen Zhi and his party towards their home.
Along the way, Fat Wei kept flattering and talking to the girl. Qin Yueyang seemed a little tired and kept walking without raising his head. Guidao looked at the surrounding houses alertly. At this time, Xiao Guer lowered his voice and said to Chen Zhi: "This is
The granddaughter of the fox fairy mother (living fox), Ye Zi. She is Mai Sui'er's sister, two years younger than Mai Sui'er. We can see the living fox when we go to her house later."
