Chapter 147 Mother
Unlike the woman who was supposed to be the center of attention, Chen Xiaomeng's attention was completely attracted by Jiang Cheng. She stared at the latter's profile without saying a word.
The fierce side that this man showed after entering the door was beyond her expectation. For a moment, she really felt that Jiang Cheng was a murderer who broke into the woman's home and wanted to kill her.
In the nightmare, she had seen many extremely evil people, most of whom were driven crazy by the mission, but Jiang Cheng was different. The evil in him was innate.
She had no doubt that if the woman disobeyed, he would stab her to death or break her neck as he said.
"Is that man still around this afternoon?"
The woman's eyes widened in fear, and her lips kept trembling. It wasn't until Jiang Cheng loosened his hand slightly that the woman breathed in the air again as if she was alive again. nod.
"Is it someone sent by the village chief?"
The woman continued to nod.
"Is there anyone else at home besides you?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then shook her head wildly.
“Think carefully before answering,” Jiang Cheng slowly clasped his fingers.
In the eyes of women, this good-looking young man is like a devil.
His thin lips moved up and down, and every detail was reflected in her eyes, "If I find out, the consequences will be ugly."
The pupils trembled hard. For a moment, the woman burst into tears, but in the end she had to nod, her eyes full of pleading.
"From now on, I will let go," Jiang Cheng looked at her and said slowly: "But if you yell"
Jiang Cheng didn't finish the rest of the words, but he believed that the woman had completely understood.
He slowly let go of his arm, and after a few seconds, he asked in a low voice: "Who is at home now?"
"My daughter is Honghong, and... there is Honghong. Grandma."
When Jiang Cheng came in, he saw another door blocked by a quilt. He looked there and then turned to look at the woman, "Are they inside?"
"Yes," the woman replied, looking anxious and immediately wanted to add something, but Jiang Cheng didn't give her a chance.
He lowered his voice: "As long as you answer my questions honestly, nothing will happen to them."
The woman swallowed cautiously.
She looked young, probably around 30 years old, but her complexion was not very good, dull and yellow, and she also had obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
The tiny frostbite on my hands almost became pieces.
The poor woman was suffocated by the weight of life, especially in a village like this.
After Chen Xiaomeng made sure that the sound just now did not attract anyone, she also walked over. She kept a distance from Jiang Cheng. The behavior of this man just now made her a little repelled.
"We have something to ask your mother," Chen Xiaomeng said, staring into the woman's eyes.
The woman shook her head and sobbed softly: "You can't ask anything. My mother's voice is broken and she can't speak."
"You can write it down."
"Mom, she can't read."
Chen Xiaomeng took a deep breath, feeling that her limited patience was about to be exhausted. Every extra minute they spent here was a minute of danger.
They still have to rush back to Anping Town overnight, trying to end the mission before the village chief and others react.
After the woman noticed the change in Jiang Cheng Chen Xiaomeng’s expression, she immediately said, “Don’t worry, I know what you want to know. My mother also inadvertently revealed something about the previous incident. "
Hearing this, Chen Xiaomeng's eyes flashed: "Do you know what we are going to ask?"
The woman sighed and glanced out the window with fearful eyes, as if she was afraid of being overheard by something: "What else can there be?" She whispered: "You are the pig-headed men who were caught by the village chief. What you want to ask must be Something about female ghosts.”
"Pig-headed cub?" This was the first time Chen Xiaomeng heard this word, and she couldn't help but curiously asked: "What does it mean?"
"It's a long story. In short, the village has already It’s been a long time since villagers were killed by ghosts,” The woman pursed her lips and said, "The ones who died were all outsiders like you who were brought back by the village chief at a high price. That is to say, you outsiders blocked the disaster for the village and became their scapegoats, so they called you people Pig head dice."< br>
Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes, "Does everyone in the village know about this?"
"Yes," the woman nodded and said, then she suddenly noticed that the man's eyes in front of her changed. Everyone became nervous.
"I don't agree with what they did, and some people don't agree with it either, but... there's nothing we can do. As you saw this afternoon, the village chief would control us at every turn and prevent us from contacting you!"< br>
“About What do you know about ghosts?”
“The ghost is very vicious, but it only targets the Qian family, especially the men. The big Qian family was almost wiped out by her.” At this point, The woman's eyes became evasive, and then her voice became Weird, "They say the ghost's name is Zhao Xiangmei. She was a trafficker who tricked women into coming to the village. She was later beaten to death, but..."
Chen Xiaomeng immediately asked: "But what?"
“But my mother doesn’t That’s what they say,” the woman raised her head, a cloud of doubt bursting into her eyes, “They say that before she died, Zhao Xiangmei left a curse written in blood on a stone tablet by the deep pool in the back mountain, but my mother said that she knew Zhao Xiangmei. I can’t read at all!”
How could an illiterate person leave a letter written in blood? !
Jiang Cheng stared into the woman's eyes, and there were waves in his calm eyes, "Who is your mother?"
The woman bit her lip, and then raised her head with a heavy tone after a long while. Said: "My mother was one of the 29 women who were abducted by Zhao Xiangmei."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
"Since your mother suspects that Zhao Xiangmei is not a ghost, who does she think is the ghost?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"I don't know," the woman shook her head, "but it must be one of the 29 women."
"Not all 29 women were rescued?" Chen Xiaomeng frowned, "Someone died?"
The news that all 29 women were rescued was revealed by the village chief. It seems that he did not tell everyone the truth.
"No," the woman looked at Chen Xiaomeng with strange eyes, and after a long time she said, "All 29 women are alive."
Chen Xiaomeng opened her eyes wide.
But Jiang Cheng seemed to understand something. He touched his chin and then said to the woman: "Your mother suspected that Zhao Xiangmei had impersonated the identity of one of the 29 people and escaped legal sanctions, while the woman whose identity was impersonated Became her scapegoat and was misinterpreted The parents of the victim thought she was Zhao Xiangmei and beat her to death. Then she became so angry that she turned into a ghost. "
This time it was the woman's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that the man in front of her had happened before she said anything. I actually made a pretty good guess.
“Is there any evidence?” Jiang Cheng looked at the woman and raised his chin. Added one more chapter, thank you all for your support! Love you
