I don't know if Grandpa Seven's words just now stimulated Niu Benwang. At this time, he actually spoke for the first time after Grandpa Seven entered the room.
His voice was hoarse after crying, his eyes were swollen like rotten peaches, and there were strange transparent sticky objects on his philtrum and chin. Niu Benwang snored messily on his face with his sleeves.
"Let me tell you what happens next...Master, I just beg you, if you can help, please help Lamei, she...she is suffering too much!"
Niu Benwang is really crying now before he can say anything... A big man's tears are falling in clusters like this, which makes me feel a little sad. This is really sad.
The man himself didn't know how he got back to the shore. After finally stepping on the ground, he had the courage to turn around and look at the water behind him.
But just at this glance, he immediately called this man crying for his father and mother, and rushed back to the village. The miserable roar called out most of the people in the village, and he fell on the road not far into the village, with his face They were all bruised and bloody, not to mention how embarrassed they were.
When everyone saw him, they pulled him up, pinched him, rubbed his chest, and poured hot water on him, and finally woke him up.
Asked him what happened, why he was so panicked, and whether there was a ghost behind him to chase him away.
It was this ghost word that made the man cry louder and stammered, "Dead people... There are dead people in the reservoir... In the middle of the water... I went to see... I came back with my boat... Wow wow wow wow …”
Although this person's ability to express himself is really poor now, and his words are unclear and confusing, it can be seen that he is really scared, and people can understand the general meaning to a certain extent.
There were dead people in the reservoir, and he was frightened when he saw them.
But the sky was clear and there were so many people there, no one believed that anything evil would happen.
There were many young people in the village, all of them full of energy. They wanted to do something different to change their ordinary life. They took the lead in making noise and headed towards the reservoir, saying they wanted to have a look.
The result of dragging one by one was that most of the village was visited, including the old and the young.
These eyes all saw the corpse in the water that was said to follow the boat back on its own. She was none other than Wintersweet, because even in the water, her appearance remained unchanged. She was neither soaked in water nor pecked by fish and shrimps. She was lifelike, but Too pale.
He was floating on the water in disheveled clothes, not far from the shore, with his belly upturned. Only the facial features of his entire face were above the water, and the rest was underwater.
What's even more strange is that her stomach is bulging out, either from drinking water or... her hands and feet are twisted irregularly, as if they have been broken, and blood stains can be seen on the joints.
Many people cried out. This scene was so terrifying. No one expected that Wintersweet actually died after that day, or died in a reservoir not far from the village, and in such a miserable state.
The women all turned their faces, some covered their eyes, and the men did not dare to step forward, let alone go into the water to fish out the body. Naturally, no one would pay for the body fishermen. At this time, the legal awareness was still weak. , and no one reported it to the official.
Don't worry about it. After all, there are no relatives of Lamei here, they are just fellow villagers.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Look, the fool Niu Benwang is here!"
The usually inconspicuous presence actually caused the crowd to consciously separate with a crash, and Niu Benwang led the cow forward step by step.
When I heard this, I thought that when Niu Benwang arrived, wintersweet would at least get a good placement, but when Niu Benwang said this, he paused.
He raised his head and looked at me, "Master, Lamei doesn't see me, even if she dies!"
After shouting these sad words, Niu Benwang lost control of his emotions again, burst into tears, and even had difficulty breathing.
Grandpa Seven took the words and continued, but his face was not very good, as if he was scared.
"I came here today because I witnessed that bizarre scene with my own eyes, and I still couldn't feel at ease. When Niu Benwang came, the wintersweet that was parked by the water walked away on its own, walking faster than any fish I had ever seen swimming. Quickly, we went to the center of the reservoir, sank, and never appeared again."
After hearing this, I let out a long breath. I couldn't tell what I felt.
There is sympathy, confusion, and even a trace of worry. This leaves hidden dangers.
"Help her, master, please..." Niu Benwang knelt directly in front of me. This was what I was most afraid of.
I'm not afraid of the poor, nor the arrogant, nor the desperate, but I'm afraid of someone being soft. I couldn't bear this kneeling, so I quickly pulled him up.
Looking at the three pairs of eyes staring at me in the room, he replied truthfully, "I will help if I can, but there are still some things that need to be clarified before and after this matter. In addition, the corpse in the water is not the responsibility of our makeup artist. That is the territory of the Dragon King..."
Grandpa Seven seemed to understand a little bit about this. He nodded, his old hands supported the crutches leaning on the edge of the kang, and he actually stood up and bowed to me, a little girl, "We won't embarrass you, Mr. , try your best and help our village."
It's already getting dark outside, and it's time for us to listen to stories. Before we know it, it's morning.
Before Grandpa Qi left, I made a request, "Grandpa Qi, I want to go to the cattle butcher's house where the accident happened today to see the situation. Don't worry, I won't touch anything. I'm just taking a look."
"Well, I'll tell them later that if you want to see you, go there early. No, I'm too old. I'll go back first. You guys can get busy."
The old man left, and Niu Benwang could only cry. The Niu family's aunt came back and prepared breakfast for us. We were not too polite about this. We were indeed a little hungry, but there were still urgent things to solve.
"Zhang Wei, you can borrow a means of transportation in the village, go back to our village, and come to my house to pick up some things I may need."
The main reason for asking Zhang Wei to go back was to get a spare amulet for Lang Hongyi. We couldn't see him holding on in such discomfort. Zhang Wei also knew the reason, so he nodded and went out.
He didn't expect to return to the old ox cart owned by Niu's family. Instead, he borrowed a motorcycle from someone in the village who owned a motorcycle, so that he could make a quick trip back and forth.
The room that the Niu family prepared for us to rest also came in handy. I helped Lang Hongyi into the room and told him not to think about anything and have a good rest and wait for Zhang Wei to come back.
"Sanman, are you going to the cattle butcher's house?"
Lang Hongyi tried his best to hold up his upper body and turned his head to look at me who was about to go out.
"Well, I want to take a look. By the way, I'd like to ask who are the people in the village who have had trouble before. I want to see if it can be related to the wintersweet incident."
To be honest, I still have some puzzles in my heart. I can’t imagine what kind of hatred would cause Lamei to refuse to be buried after her death, stay under the reservoir, and often return to the village, not to attract people.
He died in the reservoir, and now he dares to venture into the village to commit murder.
I don't have any curiosity, I just want to find out the truth for the people who died and still haven't left, for the people who are still alive, and... for those who died mysteriously in people's hearts.
