A few minutes later, the butcher, myself, and the drunkard showed up at Zhang Qiang's house.
I stared at the corpse that was wet all over and extremely stiff, and my heart felt inexplicably tight.
"Xiaoqiang came back last night. He said he was very tired and wanted to take a shower and go to bed. I didn't think much about it. But when I was getting ready to go to the toilet just now, I saw Xiaoqiang lying inside, with water still dripping from the faucet above.
But Xiaoqiang has run out of energy..."
It was Zhang Qiang's brother who spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked over and dressed his brother's body.
I looked at the water stains still dripping on the body. Zhang Qiang's family had to wipe it with dry towels several times. But as soon as he put on his clothes, Zhang Qiang suddenly spat out a mouthful of water.
When I took a closer look, I felt as if a cold air had penetrated directly into my body from my feet!
Because the water Zhang Qiang spit out was turbid muddy water with dirt on it...
I was stunned for a moment!
I quickly turned my attention to the butcher and the drunkard, and found that both of them were so surprised that their mouths were open and they could not say a word.
Zhang Qiang’s family members on the side were also frightened and were at a loss what to do!
At this moment, I slapped my head and shouted to the butcher: "No, there were five people last night, and there are three more!"
As soon as I said this, the faces of the butcher and the drunkard also changed!
Two of the five people the butcher called to fill the well last night were already dead. This is definitely not a coincidence!
I quickly went to find the other three people. The butcher and the drunkard also realized the danger of the situation, and quickly said to the villagers beside them: "You take him to Xiaohu's house, drunkard, you go to Zhao Chang, I'll go to Xiao Mo
Home!"
The drunkard and I said hello, and soon the three of us rushed to the homes of the other three well-fillers!
When I arrived at Xiaohu's house, I found that the door of Xiaohu's house was tightly closed and could not be opened no matter how hard I knocked.
The villager who brought me over explained to me that the little tiger’s parents were dead and he was living alone.
I frowned. There was no one else in the room, so this little tiger's situation was even more dangerous.
Without any explanation, I asked several villagers to join me in breaking open the door!
When the door was opened, I saw that the room was completely dark, and there was a person hanging from the beam in the room!
I glanced around and found that the hanging body seemed to be struggling slightly!
"Quick, help me!"
I immediately dragged the body with several villagers and then freed him.
"Brother, please go and call Dr. Deng for me."
Soon some villagers called Dr. Deng, and after a while, Deng Youde rushed over carrying a small medicine box.
"What's going on?" Deng Youde asked.
"Don't ask yet, saving people is more important!"
I saw that this man named Xiaohu still had some faint breath. Now that Deng Youde is here, his life must be saved no matter what.
Deng Youde glared at me with some displeasure, quickly opened his small medicine box, and then touched the little tiger's neck a few times.
"The bones in your neck are hard enough. If your breath is not broken, you are lucky!" Deng Youde muttered, took out a medicine bottle from the small medicine box, and poured some medicine into Xiaohu's mouth...
A few minutes later, the butcher and the drunkard came over.
I asked in a low voice. The butcher's face was as dark as coal, while the drunkard sighed and shook his head at me.
Obviously, the people they were looking for should all be dead.
Only the little tiger I was looking for was left, and I came a little faster. If I had been slower for a minute or two, this little tiger would have gone to the west.
I was a little horrified. In just one morning, four people had already died in succession.
Looking at the surrounding villagers, they all looked horrified...
"Bring the little tiger to my house first," the butcher said through gritted teeth.
What the butcher meant was obvious. This little tiger was the last survivor of those who filled the well last night. He would definitely protect him at all costs...
Xiaohu, who almost died by hanging, was taken to the butcher's house. In order to avoid panic, the butcher did not let other villagers into his house.
Tian Sanniang consciously led the small house to guard the door. The drunkard closed the door, and then together with Deng Youde, woke up Xiaohu who was lying on the bed.
"Xiaohu, are you feeling better now?" the drunkard asked.
Xiaohu was still a little weak, but still nodded.
"Then can you tell me what happened to you this morning?"
The little tiger didn't know that the other four people who filled the well last night were dead. Now after hearing the drunkard's question, there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
Xiaohu said with difficulty: "After I got up in the morning, my body felt very heavy. I heard someone talking outside the house and wanted to get up, but as soon as I got up, I found that my feet were in the air, and then my whole body was hung up.
…”
"Is that all? Did you see clearly who hung you up?" the drunkard continued to ask.
Xiaohu shook his head, looking confused.
But after a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a trembling voice: "But after I was hung up, I seemed to see something."
"What?" I asked.
"I seemed to see a pair of red eyes flashing across the room, and then they were gone..."
As soon as Xiaohu finished speaking, my mind froze unconsciously. Then, I remembered that I had felt something looking at me from behind several times before, and every time I looked back, I seemed to see it.
A pair of flashing red eyes.
Now, my previous experience actually matches what this little tiger saw.
I was stunned for a moment, and the figure of the old willow tree at the back of the village quickly appeared in my heart!
The butcher's face was serious. He asked the little tiger to have a good rest first, and then asked Deng Youde to prescribe some medicine for the little tiger to take.
After working for a while, Deng Youde said goodbye and left, but I stayed.
The butcher glanced at me and said, "Let's guard the little tiger today."
I nodded and said yes, this was what I was thinking too.
Currently, out of the five people who filled the well, only Xiaohu is left. If I were the murderer behind the scenes, I would never let go of Xiaohu, the only child...
In one morning, four deaths occurred in Liu Village, causing many villagers to fall into panic.
The butcher had to go outside to comfort the family members of the deceased and the villagers several times. Finally, when the villagers began to calm down in shock, it was already dark.
It was extremely rare that Tian Sanniang took the initiative to sit down a table of delicious food for us. Xiaoshe lay down on the dining table as usual and devoured it. On the other hand, we adults had no appetite at all.
"Sanniang, help me take care of the small house tonight." I said to Sanniang Tian.
Tian Sanniang nodded and said, "Don't worry."
I said thank you to Tian Sanniang, but she gave me a hard look.
As the night got darker, Tian Sanniang had already taken Xiaoshe back to her room to rest. The drunkard, the three butchers and I were guarding the door of Xiaohu's room.
The door to the room was open, the three of us were sitting at the dining table, and we immediately saw the little tiger lying on the bed inside.
Xiaohu asked us several times whether he was sleepwalking and why he suddenly hanged himself.
I had to tell him that it should be so, just let him have a good rest and don't worry about other things...
The drunkard brought some good wine over, and he and the butcher drank sips at a time, and the atmosphere was slightly silent.
As for me, I was secretly thinking about the four bizarre deaths that happened in the morning, and wondering if all of this was the revenge of the little willow tree that filled the well?
But in this case, wouldn’t that little willow tree become a spirit? Otherwise, how could he be so awesome and kill four people in a row...
I couldn't figure it out, I couldn't figure it out, and it was almost midnight. I found that the butcher and the drunkard had also stopped drinking, and their old eyes were looking around the house from time to time.
I raised my eyebrows, wondering if the murderer behind the scenes would really strike tonight?
Just as the surprise in my heart surfaced, suddenly, the little tiger in the room exclaimed!
I quickly looked around and saw a dark shadow quickly flashing outside the house behind Xiaohu!
"Chase!"
Almost in an instant, the drunkard and the butcher who had been prepared rushed out!
"Little guy, stay here!" The drunkard left the room after saying a few words.
I shouted "Hello" and hurriedly came to the room where Xiaohu was in order to prevent him from being transferred away from the mountain.
But as soon as I came in, a burst of crying suddenly came from Tian Sanniang's room next door...
