To the east of Liuxi Village, the innocent village chief was carried out by the villagers of Liuxi Village.
Grandma Sun's prestige in this village seems to be far greater than that of the village chief. In addition, she used "the village chief can see and is pretending to be an outsider" as an excuse. The blind villagers can't tell whether the village chief is real or fake. Everyone
Naturally, I listened to Granny Sun.
Several young people left the village chief outside the village and were about to turn around and leave. The village chief struggled to get up from the ground and roared, "You all believe that old witch, don't you believe me?" He suddenly grabbed a young man and tore him apart.
The collar said, "Lao Wu, we grew up together. Can you not tell whether I am real or fake?"
The young man was startled and murmured, "Your voice is very similar to my fourth brother, but Granny Sun has no reason to lie to us. Besides, if you really can't see, how can you catch it from the crowd at once?"
I"
Lao Wu was in the crowd at the time, and the village chief caught him immediately.
People around him immediately agreed
"Yes, how can you see where Xiao Wu is?"
"If he can see it, he must not be the fourth brother."
"Grandma Sun is right, he must be an outsider, pretending to be our village chief and trying to steal our treasures."
"Maybe he stole the stone from Aunt Qin's house."
Listening to more and more doubts around him, the village chief was startled, then loosened his hand slumpedly and said, "That old witch must be up to something. She is rushing me out of the village because I have always been suspicious.
she"
A girl's crisp voice suddenly sounded next to her, "You should leave quickly, our village does not welcome outsiders."
The person speaking was none other than Granny Sun's disciple Xiao Qing. The village chief looked up at her and met her eyes. Her eyes seemed to have no focus and seemed to be looking at him.
He was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoqing, you don't believe my fourth uncle either."
Liu Qing said seriously, "My fourth uncle has been invisible since he was a child. We all know it."
village head""
The faces of the dozen or so relatives and friends in front of him were all on guard. Apparently, things had been thrown away continuously in the village in the past two days, causing people to panic. Granny Sun took advantage of this and slandered him as not being the village chief himself. He could indeed see it.
I can't speak clearly with four mouths.
After the villagers left, he turned around and walked into the farmland helplessly, planning to sleep in the farmland overnight and find a way to explain it tomorrow. As a result, he had just taken a few steps when a tall man suddenly pressed his shoulder lightly.
, another person smiled in front of him and said, "Hello, village chief, we have something to ask you, please come with us."
The village chief's face changed: "Who are you?"
Without saying a word, Yu Hanjiang twisted his hands behind his back, covered his mouth and dragged him away.
The village chief's eyes widened and he began to struggle frantically, "No, no, let me go."
Xiao Lou ""
Captain Yu was too cruel, simple and crude, just kidnapping people.
I guess the village chief must have defined the two of them as bastard kidnappers.
Xiao Lou helplessly held his forehead and said to the other party as gently as possible, "Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We just want to know something from you."
In order to avoid being discovered by the villagers and causing unnecessary trouble, Yu Hanjiang simply tied the village chief into Taohuayuan.
The village chief kept struggling "Uh-huh" until he entered a new world full of peach blossoms in the mountains and plains, and his eyes suddenly widened. He had been in the village for so many years and had never seen such a beautiful place.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Yu Hanjiang let him go and said calmly, "This is the realm of us outsiders. You can understand it as a kind of magic or an illusion. You will not be discovered here, so you can follow us safely and boldly."
Let’s talk.”
Xiao Lou smiled and handed him a bamboo tube of water. "Drink some water to calm down the shock. I had no choice but to tie you up just now. If the villagers return, it will be very difficult."
The village chief looked ugly: "What on earth do you want to do by tying me here?"
"Our purpose is actually the same as yours, we want to find out the reason why the villagers in Liuxi Village are blind." Seeing the strange look on the village chief's face, Xiao Lou continued, "Of course, you don't believe that we want to help the villagers with good intentions. You can think that,
We accepted someone else's entrustment to investigate this matter, and after finding out, we can get a generous reward."
Ye Qi glanced at Xiao Lou with complicated emotions, thinking to himself, Professor Xiao is really good at deceiving, and the village chief was stunned by what he said.
Yu Hanjiang also looked at Xiao Lou and found that Xiao Lou looked serious. Yu Hanjiang did not expose it, but echoed, "Yes, we came to Liuxi Village because we heard that there are very precious jade resources in the village. The boss asked us to investigate the blindness of the villagers.
If you, village chief, are willing to cooperate, maybe we can uncover the secrets of Liuxi Village together and restore light to your descendants."
Xiao Lou followed closely and said, "In your village, you are the only one who can see. Your companions around you can't see anything. You are still so young now. You must marry a wife and have children. Do you hope that your children will also become blind in the future?"
"
The village chief's face turned pale slightly. It was obvious that Xiao Lou's words had hit the nail on the head.
He turned around and sat slumped on the stone under the peach blossom tree. He sighed and said in a low voice, "It's because of this that I never dared to get married. Ayue has been waiting for me for five years, but I didn't dare to marry her.
I'm afraid that our child will become blind like other children born in other families."
He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Xiao Lou, "I have always suspected that the blindness of the villagers in Liuxi Village was not caused by a curse, but I can't find out the reason. Can you really help me find out?"
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Of course, but I need your cooperation."
The village chief was kicked out. He could not explain the reason why his eyes could see. Moreover, the villagers trusted Granny Sun far more than he, the young village chief. He was alone and helpless. Although these outsiders could not fully believe him,
But now he has no choice but to take a gamble.
He thought about it carefully, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "If you can really help our descendants recover their eyes, you can take away all the jade resources in the village. If you can't see them anyway, it's useless for us to keep those broken stones."
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "It's best if you think clearly."
Yu Hanjiang asked directly, "What's your name? How did you become the village chief at such a young age?"
The village chief smiled bitterly and said, "My name is Liu Si, and I am the fourth son of the Liu family. It is said that because my grandfather is the village chief and my father is also the village chief, when I grow up, they let me continue to be the village chief.
"
Xiao Lou was surprised and said, "Can the village chief still have such a family tradition?"
Liu Si said, "Village chief is also a title. Our village only celebrates the festival once a year, and we usually don't interact much with each other. We all go about our own business. My role is to organize the Autumn Harvest Festival every year. After everyone has harvested the wheat, we gather in the village.
When a ritual ceremony is held in the east to pay homage to the souls of the dead, Grandma Sun usually presides over it."
Yu Hanjiang frowned, "Did she say who to pay tribute to the souls of the dead?"
Liu Sidao said, "It's to pay homage to our ancestors."
Grandma Sun was obviously lying, because the ancestors of the villagers should be buried in the ruined temple on the West Mountain. Dozens of people were buried in the bone pit. Xiao Lou and the others did not dig deeper, so maybe the bones below would be even deeper.
many.
If you really want to pay homage to your ancestors, you should go to the ruined temple in the west mountain instead of the wheat fields in the east.
There are two opals placed in the wheat field. Perhaps the villagers are not paying homage to their ancestors, but to the girl wearing the bracelet.
Yu Hanjiang asked, "The villagers can't see, so why can you be the only one who can see?"
Liu Si explained, "I have been able to see since I was a child. I was not very sensible when I was a child. They told me that the world is black and that everything in front of my eyes should be the same color. I can't understand it because I can see many different things."
Speaking of this, Liu Si's eyes flashed with anger, "Because I am different from my peers. I was very scared when I was a child. I thought everyone was normal and I was the only one who was sick. So, I tried my best to imitate other people's behavior."
When I saw my companions falling down, I would imitate them. When I saw them accidentally hitting a tree, I would hit the tree too.”
Xiao Lou couldn't help but feel sad after hearing his experience.
The little child didn't understand anything. He was surrounded by blind people, but he was the only one who could see. He instinctively thought that he was sick, so he imitated other blind people to throw and hit him. At that time, he must have been very helpless.
help.
Liu Si took a deep breath to calm down, and then said, "Maybe I learned too much. After that, Granny Sun gave me less and less medicine, and my eyes got better and better. I could see every road clearly, and every time
Alone, I found that I could do everything faster than others. That’s when I realized that it wasn’t me who was sick, but the whole village was sick, and I was the only one with a normal eye.”
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Actually, you haven't taken the medicine Grandma Sun gave you."
Liu Si nodded solemnly, "When I was a child, after taking medicine, I would vomit when I got home. I didn't dare to tell the adults, so I secretly hid the medicine residue. Over the years, I have taken very little of the medicine Grandma Sun gave me, and most of it has
Throw it away."
It was precisely because of this that he escaped.
Xiao Lou frowned and said, "For all the children in your village, from the moment they are born, Grandma Sun is responsible for prescribing them medicines?"
Liu Sidao said, "She is the only doctor in the village. We usually have headaches and fever, but we can see the doctor quickly if we go to her. So everyone trusts her. After the baby is born, she will hold it to her first and let her check if there is any problem with the baby."
The more Xiao Lou listened, the angrier he became. How cruel must he be to attack those innocent babies?
Liu Sidao, "I suspected that there was something wrong with Grandma Sun several years ago. She always boiled medicine in the middle of the night. People living nearby said that they could smell the aroma of the medicine in her house. People in the village believed in her and often sought medical treatment from her.
I can’t explain why I can’t see, and I don’t understand those medicines. I don’t dare to alarm her because I know that even if I say she has a problem, no one will believe me.”
When he said this, he couldn't help but lower his head in frustration. When everyone around him trusted Granny Sun, it was useless for him to say anything. This feeling was really despairing.
Xiao Lou gently patted the village chief on the shoulder. He had a hard time being the village chief. When he was a child, he suspected that he was sick and imitated other blind people. When he grew up, he realized that his eyes were normal, but he still had normal eyesight.
It is difficult to identify the suspected murderer of Granny Sun. He has always been in conflict. He did not dare to marry a girl he liked, and he remained single until he was in his thirties.
What's even more unfortunate is that Yu Hanjiang pretended to be him to talk to Grandma Sun, but it was self-defeating and the poor village chief was kicked out directly.
Xiao Louwen said, "Don't worry, we will help you."
Yu Hanjiang said very directly, "There must be something wrong with Granny Sun. We have already obtained the evidence. Every time she makes medicine, she will add dead people's bones into the medicine."
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and immediately lay down next to him and retched.
Xiao Lou ""
Captain Yu, can you please stop being so direct? Xiao Lou raised his head and looked at Yu Hanjiang, meeting the man's upright and serious eyes.
Yu Hanjiang was indeed stating the facts, forgetting that the village chief also drank Granny Sun's medicine.
Village Chief Liu vomited for a while and almost vomited out all the acidic water in his stomach. His face was as pale as paper. He looked at Yu Hanjiang in disbelief and said, "Everyone in the village is drinking the medicine prepared by Grandma Sun. Are you?"
Said she used the bones of dead people to make medicine."
Xiao Lou rubbed his temples helplessly, trying to be as tactful as possible, but Yu Hanjiang still said directly, "Yes, we saw with our own eyes that she added dead people's bones to the medicine jar when she was making medicine, and she hid a meter in her kitchen.
The bones of the vat may have been used for a long time."
Village Chief Liu lay down next to him and vomited again.
Xiao Lou thought to himself that what Captain Yu said might leave a psychological shadow on Village Chief Liu, and he would never dare to take medicine again in this life.
Yu Hanjiang followed up and said, "By the way, there is also the jar of rice wine in Mrs. Qin's kitchen, which also has seven dead people's bones soaked in it."
Village Chief Liu ""
Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, "You must have drank it too, right?"
Village Chief Liu had a look of despair on his face. He resisted the urge to vomit his entire stomach and said with difficulty, "Qin, Aunt Qin's rice wine is what everyone drinks when we hold sacrifices at the Autumn Harvest Festival every year. Everyone has to drink it."
Let’s all have a drink.”
everyone ""
The poor villagers took medicine made from dead people's bones and drank rice wine made from dead people's bones. Old Mrs. Qin and Grandma Sun were so perverted. They bullied everyone's blindness and actually tortured them like this.
From the words of Village Chief Liu, we can infer that the Autumn Harvest Festival is the most important festival in Liuxi Village every year.
On this day, everyone will go to harvest crops together, and then worship the "ancestors" in the farmland to the east, and drink the rice wine given by Mrs. Qin. It can be seen from the fact that Mrs. Qin deliberately soaked dead people's bones for everyone to drink.
The hatred in the village has still not been resolved.
She is torturing the people in this village in her own way to gain psychological comfort.
Her sentence "Bullying the blind will lead to retribution" is really meaningful.
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Are Grandma Sun and Mrs. Qin not from Liuxi Village?"
Liu Si shook his head with a pale face, "I don't know, they were in the village when I was born. Why do you say that?"
Yu Hanjiang did not directly say this time, "She spilled the beans when I pretended to be you." He found a more acceptable reason and said, "Because Granny Sun knows a lot of medical knowledge and can help you villagers with medical treatment. If
She is also from this village. She was born blind. Where did she learn her medical skills? Old Mrs. Qin’s home has a mirror. If you villagers are cursed to be blind, what does she do with the mirror?"
Liu Si was stunned for a moment, and seemed to finally realize something was wrong.
Everyone has been instilled with the concept since they were young that if you are not feeling well, go to Grandma Sun and she will see a doctor. In the minds of the villagers in Liuxi Village, it is a matter of course that Grandma Sun will see a doctor. And the children were initially educated by Aunt Qin.
The concepts were instilled by her, and everyone accepted them naturally.
No one has ever thought about why Grandma Sun sees a doctor
If she was also from the village and was cursed to be blind since childhood, who taught her the medical skills?
Liu Si looked pale and fell into deep thought.
Yu Hanjiang whispered, "I have a guess. Granny Sun and Mrs. Qin should be the relatives of the girl wearing the bracelet. After that girl came to Liuxi Village, something happened to her and she was killed by your ancestors."
So, these two people took revenge by killing all the villagers and burying all the villagers' bodies alive in the mountain temple, leaving only the young children behind to continue their revenge."
Xiao Lou looked at the village chief and continued, "That girl may be blind and was bullied by your ancestors, so their revenge is to make all your descendants blind and eat the bones of your ancestors every day."
Boil the medicine, drink the wine made from the bones of your ancestors, and worship her collectively during the annual Autumn Harvest Festival, which is probably the anniversary of that girl’s death.”
The village chief's face was full of horror, and he obviously couldn't believe such a horrific revenge.
Ye Qi, Shao Qingge and Liu Qiao looked at each other.
Eat medicine made from ancestors’ bones and drink wine made from ancestors’ bones.
Let the ancestors have no peace under the spring, and the descendants will be plunged into darkness forever.
Ye Qi couldn't help but cursed, "This method of revenge is too damn perverted."
