Chapter 124 Missing
"Village Chief! Village Chief!" A man ran in from outside, shouting as he ran: "Something happened again in the town!"
Hearing this, the village chief His weird eyes seemed to have found a focus, and he immediately looked at Pei Gan, who he thought was the leader of the group, "Master," he said in a panic, "You guys Where is the fat brother in the movie? "
Pei Gan swallowed the crumbs of steamed buns in his mouth and replied calmly: "I don't know, he was gone when we got up in the morning."
After listening to Pei Gan's words, standing aside, the expression of the originally dull man couldn't help but change, as if he had thought of something very scary.
The village chief sighed and waved his hand to the villagers who came to report, "What happened in the town?"
Obviously, he had realized what happened in the town, and the purpose of asking questions was just to let the reporter explain. For everyone to hear.
"Another corpse appeared in the town. The corpse was hung from a tree, its stomach was torn apart, and its heart, lungs and intestines were thrown on the ground." The man's voice became softer as he spoke, and his eyes were suppressed. Constant fear.
"Go and ask if anyone is missing in the village?" the village chief asked the swarthy man.
But before the swarthy man could leave, he was stopped by the messenger. "I already asked when I came here," he swallowed, looked at everyone cautiously, and whispered: " No one is missing in the village.”
From this point of view, the person who died miserably was Pen Fu.
The village chief looked solemn and hesitated several times.
After all, he was the one who invited the people here. Not even a day after entering the village, one of them died, again in such a tragic way.
He really didn’t know how to explain it.
The scene fell into a deadlock for a while.
Fortunately, the mature and prudent Pei Qian spoke slowly and relieved him, "Village Chief Liu," Pei Qian said: "You don't have to blame yourself. We all considered the risks before coming, not to mention that Penfolds left quietly by himself. "Yes, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, the village chief's embarrassed expression softened slightly, "I'm really sorry, our negligence has caused trouble to our fat brother. We, our village, will try our best to compensate. .”
< br>Yu Man snorted coldly, "It's easy to say, how to compensate?"
"Double!" The village chief raised his head resolutely, "Double the reward we agreed before! The extra part will be counted as It's for fat brother Compensation from my brother’s family!”
Chen Xiaomeng looked up and down at this old man who looked to be in his early 60s. He couldn’t be underestimated. You can imagine what Zhao Xiangmei was forced into by Xiaoshi Jian Village. .
While everyone's attention was attracted, Jiang Cheng stuffed the remaining steamed buns into his clothes, making his chest bulge, which was even more impressive than Yu Man's.
The swarthy man stared at the steamed bun in his hand, his throat moving up and down unconsciously.
Jiang Cheng thought for a while, then took out a steamed bun from his clothes and stuffed it into the man's sleeve without any explanation. The man pursed his lips and nodded to Jiang Cheng honestly.
After finishing all this, Jiang Cheng turned around and slowly raised his right arm.
"I have a question," Jiang Cheng said after everyone looked at him, "Why did Ben Fu disappear in the village, but his body appeared in the town?"
"Could it be that for all the missing people, their bodies will eventually appear in the town?"
After a moment of silence, Zhou Rong unknowingly thought of the woman who rushed into the hotel and took the portrait to look for the person. According to the town The old man guarding the fence said that the woman's husband also disappeared in the village, but she came to the town to look for him.
"Alas!" The village chief sighed, nodded and said, "You are right, the bodies of the missing people in the village will eventually appear around the town, that is, Anping Town." He added.
“But why?” Li Lu held the steamed buns in both hands, her eyes full of confusion.
“To be honest, we don’t know this either,” the village chief replied with a frown, “Maybe. Maybe Zhao Xiangmei still can’t swallow the breath she had back then, and wants everyone to know what happened to the people in the village back then. What did you do and how did you treat her?"
It sounds reasonable at first glance, but it doesn't seem convincing enough.
"When can we leave?" Zhou Rong was the one who spoke. His eyes looked at the village chief with a hint of scrutiny, "We want to see the body."
At the village chief When he realized that he wanted to return to Anping Town, his expression was somewhat... Somewhat unnatural, "Don't worry, we have sent people to bring the body back. It will arrive later."
"With such a big case, the police in the town will let you know Take away the body?" Jiang Zhongyi asked a more pertinent question.
But the village chief seemed not to have heard, and asked everyone to pack their things and go to the deep pool in the back mountain as promised yesterday, where there was a stone tablet curse left by Zhao Xiangmei.
After being ignored, Jiang Zhongyi seemed a little confused. He took a few steps forward, and when he opened his mouth and was about to ask the question again, his mouth was suddenly blocked by something.
It’s soft and relatively big.
It’s a steamed bun.
“It’s better to eat more steamed buns,” Jiang Cheng retracted his hand and said carelessly: “Eat steamed buns to replenish your brain.”
Jiang Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, Jiang Cheng was definitely not the person he wanted to be. If you dare to offend, there are many mentally abnormal people who are tortured in nightmares, but there are not that many people who are mentally abnormal and can survive.
Moreover, he also realized the problem.
I am afraid that the police in the town have long been aware of the strange things in the village, but for some reason, they turned a blind eye and allowed Xiaoshijian Village to suffer on its own.
It is naturally inconvenient to talk about such things on the table.
We didn’t bring anything with us, so we couldn’t clean up. Under the leadership of the village chief, everyone headed to the deep pool in the back mountain with light equipment.
Along the bluestone road that entered the village yesterday, the group continued walking deeper into the village.
It was already late when they entered the village yesterday, so they had no chance to take in the surrounding environment, which led them to believe that the courtyard they lived in was in a remote location.
But now it seems that the courtyard where they live is located in the center of the entire village. If the bluestone road paved in front of the courtyard is compared to the center line, the entire village can be divided into two.
It’s just that this side of the compound is completely deserted. Every door is closed, some even have rotten door shafts, and half of the doors are hanging diagonally on the door frames.
The wind blew and made a strange sound.
It is not difficult to imagine that these people who left were either killed by Zhao Xiangmei, or they fled with their families. After all, if they stayed here, they might lose their lives one day.
As if he understood what everyone was thinking, the village chief, who was walking alone on a cane, lowered his voice and said, "After that incident, the police arrested all the men who bought women and sentenced them. But I didn’t expect,” he paused, “In the end, they all disappeared in prison one by one.”
