Chapter 38 The truth is a little scary
"Then have you seen it with your own eyes?" Zeng Wen asked.
The old man said, "No. Then he can see the white hair, can he still live?"
"What's wrong with the tourists from Peach Blossom Valley? Are there any tourists going to Peach Blossom Valley this season?"
"The Peach Blossom Valley is usually more tourists in spring, but there is an underground road in the valley. It seems that it was dug in ancient times. Some tourists will come to see it from the town. They probably only come to see the underground road. We don't know what it is. On that day, the government department came to pull the murdered tourists away, and everyone was just guessing. No one dared to go to that place now."
Hu Sui asked: "I see there is a temple at the entrance of the village. What kind of temple is it? How come it looks like this?"
"That's a general temple. When I was a child, the incense in the temple was so popular that I would come to worship in all villages. However, one year, people from relevant departments came to say that this temple was offering wild gods. At that time, the four olds were removed, so the temple was destroyed. It was a matter of many years. Later, it was rebuilt, but everyone knew it was a wild god, so no one came to worship. However, our village raised funds every year and invited people to do rituals and sang a big show. In the past two years, more and more people moved out, and there were not many people left in the village. Our town has convenient transportation and can do business, so basically we moved there."
"Is there anything strange in the village these two days?"
“Dogs still bark at night.”
"Who has anyone died here recently?" Li Xiaojiu, who had not spoken, asked.
The old man said: "Only those tourists who had an accident, the ones closer are Haiying's mother who died of illness at the beginning of the year."
“Haven’t it been in recent months?”
The old man shook his head: "In our countryside, everyone will go to help with the funeral, but I haven't heard of anyone."
"Where is the surrounding village?"
"I don't know this."
They came out of Mr. Wang's house and planned to go to Taohua Valley to see it. It was empty. They found the entrance to the underground passage, went in and looked, but found nothing unusual.
"Looking at the photos given by the branch, the crime scene is at the entrance of this underground road."
There was indeed some blood there, and there were also two authentic walls.
It seems that several bodies transported away by the branch were all found here.
"Everyone searched in a scattered manner to see if there were any graves nearby," Hu Sui said.
"Just just look at the new grave." Li Xiaojiu said, "White hair is usually mutated within a month after a person dies."
"This case is really weird," said Zheng Song. "Don't you think? Logically speaking, only those who die suddenly can become Bai Yao in a certain specific environment. However, the people in the branch have long investigated the population of more than ten miles, and there have been no ones who died suddenly in this year. If they died ordinary and become Bai Yao in an extremely fierce place, the probability is really pitiful. Since I came to Bai Yang Town, I have always felt a very uncomfortable feeling, and I always feel like we were getting into the fog. Yesterday, Mei Qingtu made a divination, which seemed to be a vicious divination. Do you know?"
Li Xiaojiu glanced at him and said, "Then what? Are we going back like this?"
"I don't mean that either..."
"Since it's useless, just say less."
Hu Sui followed and smoothed out: "Although Mei Qing's divination is the best, it may not be accurate. Let's all pay attention and take a look first. If it really doesn't work, you can ask for help."
Everyone searched for a while in Taohua Valley, but they didn't find any new graves. The last few people decided to stay at Mr. Wang's house for one night.
"What if the white hair is in the town? Zeng Wen said, "Don't harm people again in the town."
"How about that," Hu Sui said, "Peng Cheng, you three will go back to the town, and Xiaojiu and I will stay."
"It's OK," Peng Cheng said, "but we still can't figure out how many white hairs there are here. If you are not sure of winning, don't act rashly. Let's ask people from the branch to help, in short, safety is the first priority."
Hu Sui nodded: "You guys are too careful."
After Peng Cheng and the other two left, Hu Sui and Li Xiaojiu walked around the village and posted a talisman on the gate of each household. It was not until noon that several villagers came out. As Hu Sui walked, he suddenly looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I seemed to see an acquaintance." Hu Sui said.
Li Xiaojiu frowned and looked at it, and Hu Sui said, "Maybe he admitted his mistake."
"You are so brave." Li Xiaojiu said suddenly.
"What?"
"You," said Li Xiaojiu, "Do you dare to stay with me alone, aren't you afraid that I will feed you to the white hair?"
Hu Sui said: "Don't scare me."
Li Xiaojiu snorted coldly and said, "Then listen to me and help me. If I like you, I will save your life."
Hu Sui said: "You really don't know the kindness of good people. I'm afraid that you will not be willing to cooperate with you when you are with them. You are so pitiful that you are alone. I am familiar with you and know that you are kind-hearted. Who told me to see you wipe my tears?"
"Say it again!" Li Xiaojiu immediately stood upside down and pointed at him.
Hu Sui laughed twice and said, "We should not have internal strife when the enemy is in front of us."
White hair is also an evil thing. It rarely comes out when there is sun. They stay until dark. At about eight o'clock in the evening, the black dog in the yard suddenly started to bark. Mr. Wang said, "Listen to you, this dog is barking again."
Not only their dogs, but the dogs in the whole village seemed to be barking, which sounded extremely terrifying in the dark night. Li Xiaojiu and Hu Sui brought a ladder, climbed up the wall and looked out, only seeing a dark area.
Li Xiaojiu was so brave that she planned to go out and take a look. Hu Sui said: "It's not possible to be alone, I will take care of you with you."
As a result, Li Xiaojiu looked at him disgustedly and said, "If you don't drag me back, it will be more convenient for me to do things."
As soon as Li Xiaojiu left, Mr. Wang quickly tied the door. Hu Sui quickly climbed up the ladder and watched Li Xiaojiu go out. Li Xiaojiu looked up at him, took out a talisman from his pocket, and took a touch of it. The talisman actually burned and floated on his palm, becoming an immortal flame. Hu Sui almost fell off his chin when he saw it.
This Li Xiaojiu is hidden deep, what kind of magic is this!
Li Xiaojiu walked forward with the flames. On the dark street, only the star lit light in his palm reflected his beautiful face. Hu Sui lay on the wall and watched him walk around Wangjia Village. When he walked under the wall again, he asked, "How many times do you want to walk?"
Li Xiaojiu looked up at him, but said nothing, and continued to walk away. He didn't know what kind of magic he was. Hu Sui didn't understand. He was afraid that Li Xiaojiu would get angry again after asking too much, so he got off the ladder.
Mr. Wang said: "It's so cold outside, you're so cold, come into the house and drink some hot water."
Hu Sui trembled into the room and said, "You guys are so cold."
"This is the coldest time of the year. When you outsiders arrive, we will call you cold. Not to mention you outsiders, even locals go out for a few years, and when they come back, they will still call you cold and not adapt. The village head Wang Xue's father is doing business outside all year round. When he comes back this winter, he is so cold that he doesn't go out all day."
Hu Sui's heart was thrilled and asked, "Who did you say?"
Mr. Wang said: "Wang Zhenbiao at the west end of the village."
"No, whose dad you just mentioned?"
"Wang Xue."
"...Did their family do business in Qiumang Mountain?"
Mr. Wang said in surprise: "How do you know?"
Hu Sui hurriedly asked, "Did he come back alone? Who else?"
"There are also his wife and his daughter. The three of them came back together. It is probably because their daughter is old and she will come back to say goodbye."
Hu Sui felt his scalp numb, so he quickly put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Did you see the three of them come back with your own eyes?"
"No, there are only a few people in our village. Whoever comes back and goes out to work can be found out. The three of them still drive back in a car, but the father and daughter don't go out much after they come back. Only Wang Xue's mother occasionally goes out to buy vegetables in the town. Their family really makes money outside, eating chicken, duck, fish and meat. Every time they see her mother come back from the market in the town, she carries a lot of live chickens and ducks."
Mr. Wang sighed again, "But when this person has money, his temperament has changed and he doesn't like to take care of others. Wang Xue used to be sweet, but on the day she came back, I greeted her. She looked at me coldly, as if she didn't see me, without saying a word... Alas, young man, where are you going?"
Hu Sui quickly climbed up the ladder, trying to see where Li Xiaojiu had gone, but his heart suddenly jumped because he saw a white figure appearing in the mouth of an alley where Li Xiaojiu had just walked over, following Li Xiaojiu quietly.
His heart beat violently and he quickly got off the ladder. Mr. Wang said, "You want to go out too?"
"I...I'm not at ease, go out and have a look."
"Please take this." Old Master Wang suddenly stuffed him something.
When Hu Sui saw that it turned out to be a black donkey's hoof.
"Thank you." Hu Sui didn't know whether the black donkey's hooves were useful, so he just put them away first, opened the door and ran out. It was pitch black outside, and he chased after Li Xiaojiu, and soon he saw a faint light, floating in a vague way.
Wangjia Village is not large, but the village is very large. Only the residential area of Mr. Wang's house is concentrated, and the others are scattered and spread to the vicinity of Peach Blossom Valley. As he walked, he suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind. He always felt that someone was following him. He held his breath and stopped for a moment, and the footsteps were gone. He took out the black donkey's hooves from his pocket and turned around suddenly.
Empty, nothing.
He quickly accelerated his pace, and saw that Li Xiaojiu had already walked to the vicinity of Taohua Valley.
There are few houses in this area, only large areas of wilderness and mounds. The white shadows behind Li Xiaojiu have increased to three. Hu Sui felt strange and didn't know whether to call Li Xiaojiu, but he was anxious to tell him what he had just discovered.
At this moment, Li Xiaojiu suddenly turned around and waved to him from afar.
The white shadows following him were gone.
He quickly ran over and ran to Li Xiaojiu. The flames in Li Xiaojiu's palm suddenly went out and said to him: "Look at this..."
Hu Sui looked forward, but only saw a white hair lying in the pit, with his face still vaguely showing Wang Xue's appearance. He was shocked and hurriedly looked back at Li Xiaojiu, but saw Li Xiaojiu pushing him hard and pushing him into the pit.
