Chapter 26 The source of terror - the old village chief (1)
I looked at Qinhuai's contemptuous eyes, and my heart twitched. I wanted to push this kid to the ground and beat him up, but that would also look like I was too shameless. I had no choice but to look at Master and listen to what Master would say next.
I hope that kid Qinhuai won't get it right.
Master didn't notice my little emotions and just sighed that this Wuliangye is pretty good.
Qinhuai immediately squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, I stole my grandfather's to honor you."
My master was very satisfied and said with a wave of his hand: "Qinhuai knows how to get things done. He is much better than a piece of wood like Chengyi! Qinhuai is right. People's hearts must be stable. Some things are not good for the people even if they know them.
OK, let them live a happy and peaceful life. This is indeed not a plague."
My face turned blue and red, and I looked at Yang Qinhuai angrily. The boy yelled very proudly: "On the gray track, there are far-reaching water shadows."
This kid is crazy about BEYOND. When he gets proud, he can't help but yell. After yelling, he looked at me: "Brother, the latest cassette, the song just now is good, right? Don't be angry with me. I'll give you this cassette. I'll give it to you again."
Go get a box."
When I heard it, I couldn't bear it. I was also very obsessed with BEYOND at that time. Unfortunately, I didn't have as many channels as Yang Qinhuai, so I could always get the latest original cassettes as soon as possible.
Yang Qinhuai whistled proudly, hugged me and said, "Brother, who among us is following whom?"
My master glanced at the two of us with a puzzled look and said: "What's the point of singing? It's like a ghost crying and a wolf howling. It's better to listen to a Peking Opera."
After a while of fussing, I said, "Master, why are you going around in such a big circle? Why don't you tell me?"
My master pondered for a while and then said: "There is a story here. In fact, all the people in one village died in the ancestral hall. The other three villages all moved away because they were afraid of being close to it.
Later, the relevant departments came forward to eliminate the impact. It was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there were some plagues. Later, the impact was eliminated, so it was forgotten. This time, because of road construction, the matter was brought up again.
.”
"Is there any connection between road construction and deserted villages?" Yang Qinhuai asked impatiently. He is a person who likes to hunt for novelties.
"Originally we didn't contact him, but this time it involved a key matter, so we contacted him." My master's expression began to become serious.
I also became serious, knowing that things were not simple.
"Why are we connected?" Yang Qinhuai asked impatiently.
"Because the culprit who killed the entire village was not found that year, and there were still many things to deal with across the country. I thought that area had become a deserted village and there should be no more casualties, so forget it. But now we are building roads.
, we must go to that area to search, catch the murderer, and destroy him, that's it." The master said seriously.
"Where did the murderer come from? To kill a person in a village? I said Mr. Jiang, it has been more than thirty years, can you find him? Catch an old man? And then our department has to take action?" Yang Qinhuai's face
A little pale.
I guess like me, the thought of killing an entire village by one person is simply unbelievable! To be precise, I have been educated in metaphysics since I was a child, and I don’t think ghosts are scarier than humans. This kind of inhumane murderer is the scariest thing.
.
My master held the wine glass and remained silent. After a long time, he put down the wine glass, took out a cigarette and lit it. This old man Jiang didn't have any rules. He loved to smoke cigarettes in the box, and no one could control him.
As the smoke rose, Yang Qinhuai and I were almost driven crazy by curiosity, and the old man said: "There is a story here, told by the people from the neighboring village who moved away. You know, the neighboring village
, because of the relationship between marriage, there are always a lot of relatives
Qi, before the incident happened, the villagers in that village once said this! At that time, everyone who could leave left. Those who couldn't leave were because they didn't believe in evil and wanted to take a chance. Some people really didn't want to leave the land where their ancestors had lived for generations.
Yes, I also want to have a fight."
"The result is that they were all killed? Did the murderer know the Nine Yin Manual?" Yang Qinhuai took a breath. He is like Su Rou and loves reading martial arts novels. Anyway, the Nine Yin Manual
In that kid's eyes, it was the most powerful martial arts.
Only I know how nonsense it is to fly over a wall and cross a river in one leaf. Martial arts is not that big of a deal. There are no martial arts masters who can kill everyone under siege by hundreds of people! This is impossible!
So, I already have a feeling that this was not done by humans.
My master blew out a puff of smoke, looked at Yang Qinhuai and said: "There are no martial arts masters, and there is no "Nine Yin Manual". I was also involved in what happened that year. I probably have never seen that scene in my life."
It’s one of the most horrific scenes that I don’t want to recall. There were broken limbs and pieces of meat everywhere, and no one in the ancestral hall survived that night.”
Yang Qinhuai and I both tried to imagine the scene. Generally speaking, many villages in the countryside have ancestral halls to hold memorial tablets for ancestors. The house is not big, and with the yard, it can probably accommodate a hundred people.
But hundreds of people died in the ancestral hall, and the scene was no different from a slaughterhouse!
"After that night, the people in the next village were worried about their relatives. The next day, taking advantage of the good weather, they took a dozen people to the village to look for someone. As a result, the dozen people saw the scene and were arrested on the spot.
I was scared crazy! This is no exaggeration! Later, we did an investigation and barely pieced together the entire incident. We also searched the area like a net, but the murderer was not found. At that time, there was another crisis to deal with.
"We" the master said with some seriousness.
Yang Qinhuai slapped the table and said: "I know what you did, deliberately letting the legend spread, not rushing to deny it, and even adding fuel to the flames by asking everyone nearby to move away, and then started to eliminate the impact, right?"
My master looked at Yang Qinhuai in surprise and said, "Okay, boy! How did you know?"
"Haha, this is a concession, a concession." Yang Qinhuai cupped his fists and bowed before saying, "This is very simple. How could the plague make those stubborn villagers leave the land they have cultivated for generations?
There must be something more terrifying. You haven't found the murderer, and you have urgent matters to deal with. Of course, you are afraid that the murder will happen again, so the best way is to let them go. This is not a problem for me."
"Hehe, it seems that your kid didn't have a grandfather and a father who were officials in vain. He still learned some skills. Well, I used to think that you were unlearned and incompetent." My master was amused and smiled.
Speaking of.
Yang Qinhuai is embarrassed. Others say that he is a gangster, a stubborn person, and uneducated. But he is quite happy. When he is praised, he behaves like this. It is no wonder that he is being treated as a mean person.
I'm used to scolding, but it's not enough if I don't scold.
My heart was lifted by this story. I didn't want to see Yang Qinhuai being as shy as a big girl there, so I asked Master: "Master, please tell me more specifically. You see I'm so worried about the murderer."
Who is it?"
My master may have been confused by the rising smoke, so he squinted and said: "That area has been famous as a place for raising corpses since ancient times. There have been many zombies since ancient times, but the specific reason is not known.
.”
"Master, I said the murderer, who is the murderer?" I was so anxious that I couldn't bear it.
"Oh, old village chief!" the master said calmly.
"Old village chief?" Qinhuai and I exclaimed at the same time. In this village, the village chief still kills people? Killing the whole village at once? This world is too damn crazy, right?
"Yes, the murderer is the village chief of that village, a highly respected old village chief." The master had calmed down at this moment. He had finished smoking a pipe of dry cigarette, and he knocked on the pot. Compared with the fuss made by Qinhuai and me,
, he was very calm.
"Master, are you mistaken? A village chief, well, regardless of his identity, how can an old man kill all the people in the village? Nonsense?" I was very disappointed, but it turned out that a village chief did it.
Yes? I had already judged that this was definitely not a human category, but just now Master mentioned a place to raise corpses?
"I know!" Qinhuai slammed the table and shouted: "If we want to kill all the people in the village, we can only poison the well water!"
Qinhuai's idea is good. It is true that we can only do this by poisoning the well water. But I thought of another possibility: "No, what about poisoning? Didn't you listen to my master? At the scene
It’s so bloody, it’s obviously a fight! If you’re poisoned, don’t they all die silently?”
My master glanced at us and said: "Chengyi is not stupid after all. He poisoned the well water? Qinhuai, you are afraid you have read too many novels? How much weight does it take to make the well water poisonous enough to kill you?"
How toxic is it to humans? Let’s just say that the weight is enough. The water has already changed its taste. Do you think it is as described in real novels, colorless and odorless? Such poison is very rare. Where can ordinary people get it?
Arrive?"
"Master, we know, you'd better tell me quickly." I was anxious.
Chapter completed!
