Chapter 112: Taking Line
The store owner paused for a moment as he recalled the scene. His expression became involuntarily frightened, until he took the water bowl handed over by Zhou Rong and drank a few big gulps. , and then calmed down again.
Chen Xiaomeng sat on a wooden chair, leaning her upper body slightly forward, and lowered her voice and said, "So, Xiaoshijian Village was cursed by those dead women?"
"Well, "The shop owner nodded, "Soon after the police left, people began to go missing in Xiaoshijian Village. No one has thought about it yet, but as more and more people disappear, some people realize that this is revenge from the dead women."
"Especially" his voice suddenly became weird. He stood up and his lips trembled a few times, "After finding the bodies of those men."
"What's wrong with the body?" It was Ben Fu who spoke. He shrank back and his pupils were slightly widened, showing a look of curiosity and fear.
"The corpse. The corpse was in a terrible state of death." At this point, the shop owner seemed to suddenly feel a little cold, and pulled up the coat on his body before continuing: "It is said that someone was gouged out. Eyes, noses, and some broken limbs were hung on trees. The skin on the body was completely peeled off and neatly folded. Okay, just under the tree. In short, it’s as miserable as it gets.”
“Tell me, can this kind of thing be done by a human being?”
As for the so-called curse. There is no doubt that there are ghosts in the world. At least for the Jiangcheng group, the missions they have experienced so far are all related to supernatural events.
“Crunch——”
"Creak -"
There was a sound coming from behind, and it was heard slowly. There was a faint light in the darkness, and a woman with a kerosene lamp slowly walked down the stairs.
The woman has a sallow complexion and is plainly dressed.
Zhou Rong recognized the woman at a glance. She was the wife of the shop owner.
The wooden stairs were in disrepair and let out a dying whimper as the woman walked.
The shop owner seemed to be afraid of his wife. When he saw the woman, he stood up hurriedly, and finally turned around and told the group: "Listen to my advice, no matter what the reason is, don't have anything to do with those people and that village. ! ”
He stared at Zhou Rong's clothes, pursed his lips, raised his head and said at a very fast speed: "I can see that you are not ordinary people, but the problems in that village are not something you can solve. Over the years, In order to solve the curse, Xiaoshijian Village shed blood I spent a lot of money to hire talented people from all over the country, but those people never came out after entering the village."
Grinning his teeth, the shop owner seemed to have made a decision for everyone, "You guys are here tonight. Have a good rest. I'll see you off from the back door early tomorrow morning. Come on, I won’t charge you any money for food or accommodation. You should leave early and never come back.”
It can be seen that the owner of the store is a very simple person. I don’t want everyone to be involved in the curse of Xiaoshijian Village and die in vain.
But he didn’t understand that it was the task of Jiang Cheng and his party to solve the curse.
If the curse cannot be lifted within the specified time, then all the people in front of them will die.
Of course, these words cannot be said to the shop owner.
After saying these words, the shop owner helped the woman leave. Jiang Cheng glanced at the woman's abdomen vaguely.
Under the simple clothes, the woman's belly was slightly bulging, presumably she was pregnant.
This also explains why the store owner was so nervous when he saw the woman walking down the stairs alone. It turned out that he was worried about something unexpected.
After the shop owner and the woman left, everyone sat around the table and began to discuss the next plan.
Of course they would not listen to the store owner and leave, but they gradually developed two factions on what to do next.
A few people, led by the old man Pei Qian, advocated being more conservative. They would not go to Xiaoshijian Village with the village chief and others tomorrow, but would stay in Anping Town to continue to inquire about the news. When the time is right, it would not be too late to go to the village.
But Zhou Rong raised objections. He advocated going to Xiaoshijian Village tomorrow. Although there is no time limit for this mission, it should be sooner rather than later.
What's more, Anping Town is not the mission location, so the possibility of finding clues is very low.
The two sides were at loggerheads, and no one could convince the other.
Finally someone suggested that everyone vote by show of hands.
Proposal approved.
Jiang Zhongyi slowly raised his hand and said: "I support Mr. Pei Qian's view. We. We should investigate clearly before going, otherwise we will rush in and people will die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Man crossed his arms and sneered: "I agree, I will go to you tomorrow and I will stay."
After she said this, she glanced at Zhou Rong, obviously intending to demonstrate.
After all, the two of them didn’t deal with each other before.
There were also three people standing on Zhou Rong's side: Zhou Rong, Chen Xiaomeng, and Li Lu.
Li Lu looks weak and speaks in a low voice, but she is very resolute in going to Xiaoshijian Village.
This also made some other people change their views on her.
Next, only Jiang Cheng and Penfolds have not expressed their stance. The attitude of these two people also determines the final fate of this team.
After all, we are not newcomers, so we naturally understand the rule of horror movies that we should never leave until the last moment.
Under the pressure of the two parties’ attention, Penfolds felt a lot of pressure.
He has a very clear understanding of himself. He is just a follower. He survived the last mission only because he hugged him on his lap.
He can't afford to offend anyone in the team.
"I I abstain," he whispered, glancing left and right.
Pei Qian glanced at him and said nothing, but Zhou Rong looked at him with a cold look.
After Benfu found out, he didn't dare to look at Zhou Rong and lowered his head to stare at his toes.
Down below, only Jiangcheng is left.
His vote is crucial.
Pei Qian, who had always been relatively indifferent, spoke first: "This little brother," his voice was not loud, but gave people a very credible feeling, "the choice you are about to make will probably determine the fate of our team." Life and death, I hope you can be cautious."
Zhou Rong saw Pei Qian speaking, not to be outdone, "Mr. Yin," he looked at Jiang Cheng. He said eagerly: "I believe you must know how precious time is in the mission. Although it is more risky for me to do this,..."
Jiang Cheng sat carelessly on the wooden chair in the middle, feeling the stars cheering him. With moon-like eyes, he slowly picked up the water glass in his hand, only to find that the glass was empty. He frowned and made a "tsk" sound in his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhongyi was very discerning and immediately took the kettle and filled the cup in Jiang Cheng's hand.
After drinking up the water in the cup with satisfaction, Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhongyi, who was holding a kettle in front of him, with a satisfied expression, and then slowly said: "I support"
Jiang Zhongyi's face turned rosy with excitement.
"I support Zhou Rong," Jiang Cheng turned around and said, "After all, Xiao Longnu is my good friend Yin, both of us." He looked at Chen Xiaomeng very seriously.
"We had an affair." (End of Chapter)
