Hit ghost

Chapter 125 Eight Cave Village

Xie Jin watched Wen Liang throw the dead little snake on the ground, and leaned forward to mend it again. After confirming that it was really dead, he asked Wen Liang: "How did this snake get on you?"

"It's small and hard to detect, and the environment in Zhao's house is so humid and dark, so it's easy to get on me." Wen Liang glanced at the little red snake that had been trampled to pieces on the ground, picked up the dark cloth that had been used as a scarf just now and glued it to his body. The corpses on the ground were wiped clean.

"To be honest, our current situation is very passive. Zhao Dong's reputation is higher than I imagined. He is sure that we will not go to war for He Nian."

Wen Liang didn't care about the wound from the snake bite, he sat back on Ji Duan's bedside again, "Now I can only say that I hope He Nian doesn't do anything stupid."

"Aren't you looking for it? There are still three days before the start of the sacrifice. If you really wait until then, I'm afraid there is no way to take care of it..."

Xie Jin's voice became smaller and smaller, and the disappointment in his eyes was obvious. If it really dragged on to the start of the sacrifice, he might have to stare at Ji Duan the whole time, and he would have no time to care about He Nian.

"Who said not to look for it, I let Tong Yuyu go." Wen Liang took out the cigarette rod from the shirt he took off, and smoked it one after another. He turned sideways to look at Ji Duan, and suddenly said to Xie Jin, "Let Li Yougui come over tomorrow, or we can go find him."

"That's right. He should be the person who knows the Zhao family best. Maybe he can provide some ideas." Xie Jin stared at the cracks in the wooden iron plates. The lights in the house were not turned on. The hazy moonlight stretched their shadows for a long time, and finally disappeared into the cracks .

After a sleepless night, He Nian's leaving without saying goodbye broke the previous short-term stability. Xie Jin waited until Wen Liang woke up and the two discussed Li Yougui for a long time.

Considering that Zhuo Ketuoda's family doesn't often come and go, and they are worried about Ji Duan staying here by himself, they finally decided to let Li Yougui come over.

While waiting for Li Yougui to arrive, I don't know if the herbal medicine had an effect. Ji Duan woke up for a short time, but his consciousness seemed to be very fuzzy. Although his eyes could move, he couldn't fully speak. He just opened his mouth Silently muttering two words.

Xie Jin recognized that mouth shape, and Ji Duan was repeating his name repeatedly.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, they didn't wait for Li Yougui to come, but they waited for a sudden mountain rain.The mountain rain was coming fiercely, and with the strong wind, it pressed down on the bamboo forest around the yard.

"What a mess! The upstairs room will leak!" Zhuo Ketuoda, who was cooking porridge downstairs, noticed the rain pouring down, and hurriedly called to the second floor with a spatula, "Can you two help clean up the accumulated water?" ah!"

Xie Jin and Wen Liang rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs, and went up to the third floor with a basin in their hands for rescue.

The third floor of Zhuo Ketuoda's house is just a built attic, which is only used to accumulate some sundries on weekdays, and there are no people living there.

The rainwater poured into the house through the leaks in the roof, and the two of them rushed over to catch the water with a basin, Wen Liang was there studying how to repair the roof, and Xie Jin was pouring water out of the window with a basin.

The two were busy for a long time, and Wen Liang finally found a waterproof plastic sheet to fill up the leak. By the time the roof was completely repaired, the two of them were already drowned.

"Everything has been destroyed..." Xie Jin picked up a book made of unknown leather from the shallow water. He didn't want to peek at the contents. He just separated the wet pages from the middle and placed them in a place where there was no rain. The place.

A hasty glance at the content, all of which are incomprehensible fonts, seem to be in Manchu, which should be the notes of Grandma Zhuo Ketuo.

"The quality is so good, it won't be damaged after this." Xie Jin muttered to himself, but Wen Liang leaned over at this moment, staring at the rain-soaked notebook, he whistled.

"Phew~ this is parchment, that's why the quality is so good, and the ink is extraordinary." Wen Liang glanced at a few pages while pinching a side of the notebook, and gave up after finding that he couldn't understand it.

When the third floor was almost cleaned up and Xie Jin went to close the window, he met Li Yougui who was downstairs in coir raincoat.

Li Yougui was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and when he looked at Xie Jin, he still stretched out his hand to hold down the edge of the bamboo hat. Xie Jin looked at the thing in his hand, and found that it turned out to be a wet collar with colorful flowers big cock.

"Chicken?" Xie Jin and Wen Liang looked at each other, they called Li Yougui to find He Nian, but Li Yougui's appearance made them a little confused.

"Let's go downstairs first."

She hurried downstairs with a basin again, Zhuo Ketuoda just finished breakfast, saw Xie Jin and Wen Liang come down, she wiped her hands on the apron, and greeted, "Let's eat first, Li Yougui, you... what is that? "

Zhuo Ketuoda's eyes fell on the big rooster in Li Yougui's hand. The rooster was held upside down in his hand, and it let out a miserable "clack" under the envelope of great panic.

"Why did you take the chicken?" Zhuo Ketuoda skillfully took the chicken from Li Yougui, and then locked it in the firewood room next to the kitchen on the first floor, "It's not any other day, it feels so strange."

Li Yougui didn't answer, but just showed a shy smile towards the girl. He sat down beside Xie Jin and Wen Liang, and seeing that there was no one else, he asked, "Where is that young man with a poisonous mouth? Why don't you see him?" he?"

The incident happened suddenly last night. Wen Liang didn't tell Li Yougui about Ji Duan when he called him over. Now that he was suddenly asked about it, it undoubtedly made Xie Jin's heavy mood worse.

In the violent wind and rain, Xie Jin retracted his jaw, he distributed the bowls and chopsticks that were already on the table to Li Yougui, and said softly, "Ji Duan's curse broke out, and he fainted last night, and then Ah Nian also suddenly Leave without saying goodbye."

"That is to say, I don't know what Brother Anian is doing." Zhuo Ketuoda put a drawer of thick grain steamed buns on the table, and a plate of freshly fried river shrimp paste. He murmured, "But I don't know much about the interior of Badong Village, so I can only find you here."

"I... you, okay." Li Yougui looked at the three pairs of eyes staring at him eagerly, and could only compromise, "You said He Nian was lost, but how could I know where he is?"

"Didn't you always hang out with Zhao Guangsheng and the others before?" Zhuo Ketuoda brought the porridge pot over, and first scooped a spoonful of white porridge for Li Yougui, "Even if you pretended to be friends with them before, you can still know more or less Is it the habit of the Zhao family Tibetans?"

The girl's sharp voice pierced the eardrums, making Li Yougui a little ashamed and angry for no reason. He wanted to refute, but recalling how aggrieved he was by Zhao Guangsheng before, he was powerless to refute.

The hand that just raised the chopsticks was put down again, Li Yougui looked at the white rice grains mixed with the soup in his eyes, and sighed deeply, "I didn't, I never really followed them to do those outrageous things, even if they brought me occasionally, according to Zhao Guangsheng He never told me the reason and purpose, I just need to follow his arrangement."

The hands hidden under the coir raincoat slowly clenched into fists, Li Yougui didn't intend to explain anything, except for himself, no one could experience the feeling of family ruin and death.

"...Have you checked all the villages?" Another heavy sigh, Li Yougui enumerated some places that are more likely based on his understanding of Zhao Dong and Zhao Guangsheng, "The Zhao family has many rooms that I don't know what they are used for. , I can’t go in often, even if I go in, I will be restricted from moving.”

"The Zhao family has checked, and the person is not there." Wen Liang held a cornbread in his hand, and said while putting shrimp paste in his mouth, "Li Yougui, can I ask you something?"

After Li Yougui looked at him and cast a questioning look, Wen Liang chewed the food in his mouth and asked, "When you first met us outside the village, were you really patrolling?"

"Take Zhao Dong's level of protection for Zhao Guangsheng as an example. Zhao Dong, who is not even allowed to talk to us, can let his son go out to patrol the village at that time?"

Wen Liang raised his hand and scratched the place where he was bitten by the snake last night. Although it would not be affected by the toxin, there was still a slight trace there. He turned his head and looked at Xie Jin, "Don't you think it's strange?"

"Recalling Zhao Dong's attitude now, it's really strange." Xie Jin also looked at Li Yougui, the facial muscles of this not-so-good-looking young man visibly stiffened.

"That night? That night was indeed not a patrol." Li Yougui's expression sank, "But Zhao Guangsheng didn't tell me in detail what I was going to do, he just said that I was going to hunt."

"Hunting? Hunting in the middle of the night?" Wen Liang raised his eyebrows. He always felt that the so-called hunting was not really hunting, but had some other purpose.

Li Yougui nodded, the rain-soaked coir raincoat made his shoulders sore, but his thoughts were clearer than ever, "It's hunting, that's right, he said that a rabbit escaped from his house, and he has to catch it , I said it vaguely at the time, and I didn't really believe it."

"Not long after leaving the village, we heard the sound of the traps set up around the village. When we went to check, we found a bonfire, so we met you."

Thinking of the unpleasant experience of being choked by Wen Liang when they met for the first time, Li Yougui twitched the corners of his mouth a little, "You all know what happened next."

"Hunting rabbits? Ha! As far as I know, the bearded young master of the Zhao family is not someone who would do such a thing in the middle of the night."

Zhuo Ketuoda obviously didn't believe this set of arguments. She opened her chair and sat down beside the table, urging Li Yougui, "Tell me where else Brother Anian might be? If the Zhao family didn't have one, where else could they hide him?" ?”

It was still raining outside the house, and the few of them sat around the table on the first floor, which couldn't even be called a table. The thunder was rolling, and no one in the house answered for a while.

The rainwater hits the outer wall of the wooden building forcefully, although it will not leak and collapse, but this is not a small building with steel structure that always gives people the illusion of trembling and shaking in the wind and rain.

Accompanied by the sound of rain, Li Yougui carefully proposed a possibility: "You guys, can you really be sure that he is still in the village?"
