At night, the wind howled and the branches rustled constantly.
"嘤嘤——" "嘤嘤——"
Vaguely, it seemed that a woman was crying in a low voice, and the sobs floated in the wind, like weeping and complaining.
"Wife, wife, wake up, wake up..."
In his sleep, Huangshan was awakened by the faint cry and shook his daughter-in-law Nie who was sleeping beside his bed.
"What are you doing? It's so late at night and you're not letting anyone sleep?"
Mr. Nie was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly shaken awake by his own man. He spoke angrily and slapped Huangshan's arm away with his hand.
"Did you hear something?"
Huang San ignored his wife's impatience and spoke, looking closely at the door. Faintly, he heard several more strange sounds, which seemed to be in the yard outside the door.
At first it seemed like a woman's cry, but upon closer inspection it seemed like some other sound, rustling from time to time.
"What sound? There is no sound, it's just the sound of blowing wind..."
Mr. Nie continued impatiently, then fell back to sleep.
"Honey, listen carefully. It's really not a rumor. It seems like someone is outside. Could it be a thief? Let's go out and take a look."
Huang San heard clearly, but still felt uneasy and continued to talk to his wife Nie.
"There's something wrong. I think I'm a thief. You have to go and do it yourself. Don't disturb my sleep."
Nie, on the other hand, was a little angry at the noise, so she said, then ignored Huang San and continued to sleep with her head covered.
Seeing this, Huang San didn't dare to call her Nie anymore. He had the habit of being a strict wife. He was actually very afraid of his wife Nie at home. Whenever Nie got angry, he didn't dare to offend her. So at this moment, he saw
When Nie seemed to be angry because of the noise she made, she immediately did not dare to call her Nie anymore. However, she was still worried about the noise outside. She immediately put on some clothes, lit the oil lamp on the bedside, put on her shoes and walked out the door.
Opening the door, the moonlight was bright outside, but there was nothing. Huang San walked around the house again, but still found nothing, so he had to turn around and return to the room again.
"It's strange. I clearly heard a sound."
After returning to the room, Huang San couldn't help but mutter in his heart, feeling a little strange.
But when he didn't find anything going on, he had no choice but to give up, go back to the room, close the door, take off his coat and shoes, lift off the quilt and get into bed.
He hid his body under the quilt and stretched his head towards the oil lamp on the bow of the ship to blow out the oil lamp. However, before he could start to blow out the oil lamp, he suddenly felt a shiver on his shoulder and felt an extremely cold hand.
Suddenly it was placed on his shoulder, like an ice cube, which immediately made Huang San jump coldly and couldn't help but say.
"Hey, honey, why are your hands so cold?"
As he said that, Huang San turned his head behind him. He thought it was his wife Nie's hand, but the moment he turned his head and looked behind him, his heart almost stopped.
!!!!!!!!
In his sight, a face was facing it, almost less than a centimeter away from him. However, this face was not his wife Nie's, but a terrifying dead face, with pale fish eyes and gray eyes.
His face and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a ghostly smile, and his eyes were looking at him unblinkingly.
“!!!!!”
.............................
"哐!哐!哐!哐!——"
The next day, early in the morning, the morning in Fengluo Town was broken by a rapid and violent sound of gongs.
A dark-skinned town citizen was holding a gong and banging it all the way from the street to the end of the street. The sound of the gong was so loud that it shocked everyone in Fengluo Town. Almost everyone heard the sound and walked out of the house.
"People are dead, people are dead, Huang Laosan and his wife are dead. Everyone, go and see!"
Finally, as the gong player shouted loudly, the expressions of everyone who heard the sound changed, and many people immediately rushed to Huang Laosan's house.
"What's the noise outside?"
In the hotel, Lin Tianqi and his party also got up from their rooms one after another and washed themselves in the yard. Hearing the loud sound of gongs and drums outside, Xu's father asked.
Because it was in the yard, the door of the house was heavily blocked, and the sounds outside were very loud and noisy. Therefore, except for Lin Tianqi, whether it was Xu's father, Xu's mother, uncle Jiu, Xu Dongsheng, or Xu Jie, they could only hear the thunder outside.
There were loud sounds of gongs, drums and noise, but few people could hear clearly what happened.
"Someone is dead. From what I heard from the gong beater outside, it seems that Huang Laosan and his family are dead."
Lin Tianqi said, he could hear the sounds outside clearly, and couldn't help but think of the female ghost last night, but she didn't show any dark colors on the surface. Father Xu, and several other people were also shocked when they heard this, and looked slightly...
Uncle Jiu frowned and thought about it.
"This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it. Pack your things, have breakfast, find the carriage, and let's leave."
Uncle Jiu said, Xu's father and Xu's mother immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Both of them were typical country folk and didn't want to cause trouble.
"Okay, Dongsheng and I will go pay for the carriage now."
Lin Tianqi also nodded when he heard this. After saying that, he saw that Xu Dongsheng had also finished washing, and immediately gave Xu Dongsheng a wink, and the two brothers walked out of the hotel.
By the time brothers Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng walked out of the hotel, the street was already deserted, with few people around. They were all attracted by the death of Huang Laosan and his family.
The two brothers didn't want to join in the fun, so they went directly to the seller they had made an appointment with yesterday, paid the money, picked up the car, and then returned to the hotel.
Afterwards, the group had breakfast again and spent about an hour settling the bill with the hotel owner.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a group of people coming towards us on the street in the distance, and a man shouted loudly from a distance.
"Stop, you can't leave!"
At this time, Lin Tianqi and his party were putting their salutes on the carriage and preparing to leave. Xu Jie and Xu's mother had even boarded the carriage behind them.
A group of people hurriedly walked towards them and stopped everyone. It was a group of villagers from Fengluo Town, led by a man with a rich face who looked to be in his fifties.
"Brother Tian, what's wrong?"
In the carriage, hearing the sound, Xu Jie and Xu's mother, who had already sat in the carriage, also walked out again. Xu Jie looked at Lin Tianqi in front and asked.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Lin Tianqi smiled softly at Xu Jie and expressed relief. Then he looked at the people who came, and his intuition told him that these people came because of the dead people in the previous morning.
At this time, Uncle Jiu had already stepped forward to negotiate with these people.
"You guys are blocking our way, what's the matter?"
Uncle Jiu opened his mouth and glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on a group of more than fifty rich-faced men.
The man with a rich face also looked at Uncle Jiu, his expression was polite, he cupped his hands and said politely.
"Huang Youde, the mayor of Xiafengluo Town, has met this gentleman and rashly blocked your way. I'm really sorry. I hope you can understand the offense."
"It turns out to be Mayor Huang." Seeing the other party's politeness, Uncle Jiu also bowed his hand and returned the salute, but he didn't say much nonsense and immediately asked: "I didn't know that Mayor Huang and the villagers were blocking our way.
What happened?"
"It's like this. Just last night, Huang Laosan and his wife died in our town. The murderer has not been found yet, so..."
Huang Youde said, and when he said this, his tone paused slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed to say the words on the right.
But Uncle Jiu is also a smart man. When the other party mentioned this, he still didn’t understand what the other party meant.
"You suspect us of being murderers."
Xu Dongsheng, on the other hand, had a straightforward temper. He was suddenly blocked by these people, and now he suspected that they were murderers. He immediately became angry and spoke directly, with a somewhat harsh tone.
"Um, that..."
Huang Youde's face was grim, and he had some bad excuses. However, there was a man behind him who seemed a little angry when he saw Xu Dongsheng, and stood up and shouted——
