Xiao Lan grabbed A Liang's hand and said, "A Liang, tell us, we all believe you."
"You..." A Liang raised his eyes, "You are really reporters here to investigate this matter, right?"
Xiaolan nodded firmly.
The little fool looked at this scene and thought to himself, it is really a sin to let a child lie to a child.
"I don't know who committed suicide, but...but I have seen those people from the mountain..." A Liang took Xiaolan's hand and was completely lost, "They came to the village to cause trouble!"
"Did you see it?" Xiaoyin asked in surprise.
A Liang shook his head, "Mom didn't let me see it, but I heard the sound. There was an aunt among them, and I heard that aunt shouting."
A gust of night wind blew, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
"and after?"
"Then they were driven down the mountain by the villagers and never showed up again. A few days later..." A Liang raised his eyes and began to recall, "It seemed like two days later, Slug's father and uncle died."
Maple Sugar walked over and looked at A Liang like he was looking at a child.
"Do you suspect they killed those two people?"
Indeed, although A Liang is describing this incident, there are hints of this between the lines.
"We think... they killed the uncle."
"Which uncle?"
"It's not Slug's father, it's another one."
"Why?"
A Liang shut up and looked at Feng Tang and Xiao Lan, looking very confused.
"I..." A Liang shrank his head timidly, approached Xiaolan, and spoke in a low voice, "I will tell you alone."
Xiaolan was a little surprised, but still nodded.
A Liang hugged Xiaolan's neck and leaned toward her ear.
"Actually, I know that Aunt Xiaohua didn't run away, but was killed by that uncle and then burned... Those people came to find Aunt Xiaohua."
Xiaolan's pupils suddenly dilated.
Finally found the girl who was burned to death.
It’s Auntie Xiaohua!

After A Liang finished speaking, he still hugged Xiao Lan's neck and didn't want to let go. He lowered his head and looked at Xiao Lan meekly.
"Can you not tell others?..."
When Ah Liang asked this question, he already knew the result, and his voice became lower and lower.
"Why does Ah Liang like Xiaolan so much?" Xiaoyin squatted aside and pouted awkwardly, "We are so jealous!..."
Xiaolan also calmed down and asked Aliang with a smile, "Am I just like Sister Miaomiao?"
Ah Liang nodded, "The eyes... look very similar."
"Does Miaomiao also have round puppy eyes?" Xiaoyin asked quickly.
Xiaolan wonders, are you really not talking about yourself?
"Big, round eyes, and..." Ah Liang said while gesturing, "and... he looks very unhappy."
"Then I might be wrong here," Xiaoyin blinked her round, big, happy eyes and turned to Xiaolan, "Aren't you happy?"
Xiao Lan asked Xiang Aliang, "Is Sister Miao Miao unhappy?"
"Every time Sister Miaomiao goes up the mountain, she looks unhappy. She only smiles when she is playing with us, but never smiles when talking to adults."
"That……"
"Oops!" A Liang suddenly remembered something, let go of Xiaolan's neck and shouted, "I have to go, mom is about to ask me to eat."
"Ah Liang Ah Liang!" The Taoist priest hurriedly chased after him, "Last question, where is that uncle's home and where is the ancestral hall?"
"That uncle's house is next door," A Liang pointed to the right. "The ancestral hall is in the middle of the village. It's very big and can be seen at a glance."
A Liang said and ran away. After running a few steps, he looked back at Xiaolan.
Xiao Lan thought for a second, then rushed towards A Liang and took her hand amid the confused gazes of several people.
"A Liang, my name is Xiaolan, you call me sister Xiaolan," Xiaolan didn't understand why she was telling A Liang this, but felt that she should do this now, "Goodbye A Liang, I will come to play with you again."
.”
"Yeah!" A Liang's sad face immediately smiled like a flower, "Then just wait for me under this tree."
Xiao Lan nodded and let go of A Liang's hand.
"Go ahead."
Several people watched the child's cheerful figure disappear. It was now about seven or eight o'clock, and the night had completely fallen. They had grasped many new clues, and the night operations had just begun at this moment.
——————————————————————
There appeared to be no one else in the deceased's home.
At this time, other houses had more or less lights on, but this house was dark, standing there quietly and mysteriously.
This house is not a two-story building, it is just an ordinary bungalow. The courtyard wall is short and broken, as if the owner of the household piled it up with bricks. Looking inside, you can see the courtyard and the furnishings of the house.
There are several vegetables planted in the yard. It seems that no one has taken care of them after the owner died. They have grown in all directions and are not as tall as weeds.
It was still early, and several people still didn't dare to turn on the flashlights. They could only find a completely collapsed wall under the cover of night and moonlight, and carefully climbed into the yard.
"Let's search the courtyard separately first," the Taoist priest said to everyone, "we will gather at the door in a while, remember to be gentle."
After saying that, he took Xiaolan and walked to the right side of the house.
The closer Xiaolan got to the house, the more intense Xiaolan's anxiety became.
The air seemed to be filled with a thick and pungent strange smell. Even though she was walking in an open-air courtyard, Xiaolan felt as if she was being suffocated by a container.
"What's wrong?" The Taoist priest was still holding Xiaolan's hand, sensing her resistance.
"I feel...this place seems very bad."
Xiaolan really couldn't think of how to express this feeling, so she could only describe it vaguely.
"not comfortable?"
"It's like... it's like being soaked in a puddle of smelly and sticky dirty water," Xiaolan covered her chest, her facial features wrinkled together, "The smell and environment are both uncomfortable and disgusting..."
"It seems that there is indeed a problem here." The Taoist priest said, holding Xiaolan's shoulders, and the two of them searched for suspicious places side by side.
"Eh?" Xiaoyin's voice sounded from the backyard, "Come and see!"
Xiaolan and the Taoist priest ran up quickly, walked around the edge of the house, and saw the same desolate and messy scene in the backyard.
There were some plowing tools piled randomly in the backyard, including shovels, hoes, and forks, all scattered on the ground. In the corner of the yard, there was a simple small warehouse built with wooden planks, but Xiaoyin was not there.
"here!……"
Xiaoyin was on the other side. The two rushed over and saw the others squatting on the ground looking down at something.
"What did you find?"
"There is a well," Xiaoyin led the two of them towards what she found. "What's wrong with Xiaolan? She looks so bad."
Xiaolan shook her head and leaned down to observe like the others.
It was so dark that Xiaolan couldn't understand the mystery of this well for a while.
"I haven't seen what's in the well yet," the little fool squatted next to a big stone and pointed to it. "This well is blocked by this stone, and this stone is stuck on top."
The little fool said, dusting off his hands, taking something off the stone and handing it to them.
Xiaolan looked over and saw that it was a piece of yellow paper with some messy red patterns drawn on it. It was something Xiaolan had never seen before.
