The old village chief died, dead in a tree hole.

His chin seemed to be torn apart by huge force, hanging weakly on his chest, and blood and saliva wet his entire chest.

He did not close his eyes, and everyone could see the fear in the old village chief's pupils.

"It's the old locust tree, this is the curse of the old locust tree! Everyone who agrees to sell the tree will die! Everyone..."

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense there!" At this time, a tall and big young man walked out.

He glared at the villager and glanced around: "Grandpa is dead, I, Hu Yong, are the acting village chief! Now everyone is going home! Don't talk about that tree anymore!"

Although he was young, he could see that he was quite prestigious. After such anger, the panic whispers around him really stopped slowly.

The young man named Hu Yong turned to look at Duan Xu and the others, and said, "Sorry, this happened in the village. If you want to leave, I can send you out of the mountain."

Duan Xu and the others looked at each other a few times. If possible, who would want to stay here?

Zhao Wei took a step forward and said, "Brother Hu, now that this is the case, we can't get rid of it. We can't just leave it. Let's live in the village for a while."

Hu Yong looked at Duan Xu and the others, nodded after a moment, turned his head to Ayun and said, "Ayun, take them home, leave it to me to deal with it."

Unexpectedly, Ayun, who had always been obedient, turned a deaf ear to the village chief's body. She only stared at the village chief's body, her fists were tightly pinched, and she didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Duan Xu spoke and said, "I can go back by myself and take a step first."

The others looked at Duan Xu who suddenly turned around and returned to the village, and were a little confused.

Before the village chief's body was carefully looked at, he was about to leave?

Through Zhao Wei's words last night, we can be sure that there is a big secret hidden in the village chief in front of us. He is likely to have the clues to the entire strange incident. Duan Xu let it go so easily?

"I... leave first..."

Hua Jiyun whispered that no one answered her, and no one even went to see her.

Hua Jiyun's departure did not attract anyone's attention.

"What is he thinking?"

Wang Changjian asked in a low voice.

Zhao Wei shook his head slightly, took his eyes back, turned his head to look at the village chief's body, and said, "Don't worry about him, maybe he's scared."

...

wrong……

Duan Xu rushed to the village quickly.

Although he walked very fast, this did not delay his thinking at all.

Until now, he discovered two unreasonable places.

If everything Zhao Wei said last night is true, then... even if they are wary, vigilant, and afraid of Hua Jiyun, they will never dare to use bullying, violence and other means.

After all, according to Zhao Wei, Hua Jiyun is a "female ghost" who killed four senior passengers, seized their knot, and got on the bus from the story.

Will such a role be bullied?

She is not a weak person who knows nothing, she is a strong person who holds "power"!

Even if she was changed by the train after getting on the train and became less violent and terrifying, their attitude would never be the attitude of an ordinary passenger facing a mysterious passenger holding four knots.

The answer is obvious, Zhao Wei is lying.

Or... something is hidden.

The information he concealed was the root cause of the people on the train who dared to bully Hua Jiyun.

And this, Duan Xu made a rough guess.

There are many possible reasons for them to act like unscrupulously, but Duan Xu is willing to believe it, that is, they know that Hua Jiyun cannot hurt them.

This is the first logical point.

And the second one is the matter in this mountain village.

Gao Lan told everyone that story, and Duan Xu was also confirmed from the side at Ayun's grandmother.

The former deceased, Xie Hua, was originally a poor orphan, but after he went to the city, he brought back a sum of money and used the money to contract the orange forest in the back mountain.

At first glance, there is no problem with this logic. If you contact the information that the villagers were interested in selling the oldest locust tree in the village, it seems to be more confirming that Xie Hua went to the city with the news of selling locust trees and gained a fortune.

But...the problem lies here.

Duan Xu had just looked carefully. The orange forest in the back mountain is not small. If you want to contract such a large mountain forest, it is impossible for you to only need a small amount of money.

Can a news that a locust tree be sold for such a large amount of money?

impossible.

Just as Ayun's grandmother said, the people in the city are not fools. Xie Hua must have taken out something of similar value to exchange for such a huge amount of wealth.

So... the answer is already very obvious.

...

Where has he gone?

Hua Jiyun followed Duan Xu's footsteps and rushed to the village.

But she was quickly dumped by Duan Xu.

No, Hua Jiyun discovered that she was not dumped.

But... got lost.

Trees... so many trees, and all of them are locust trees...

They are similar in height and uniform in thickness, with almost no difference.

Is there such a large locust tree forest near the village?

This idea appeared in Hua Jiyun's mind.

She raised her head, looked at the sun just coming out through the crack of the leaves, and identified the direction.

Reverse?

It was clearly walking towards the village, but it was getting further and further away from the village.

Did you accidentally go wrong?

Hua Jiyun looked at the dense branches and leaves, and she was sure that she had never taken the wrong path.

At this moment, Hua Jiyun suddenly saw a person passing by.

Isn’t that person... Chen Xinyue?

Hua Jiyun's breathing stagnated and subconsciously hid his body behind the tree trunk.

Chen Xinyue seemed to feel his gaze and suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where Hua Jiyun was.

Hua Jiyun didn't make any sound, but Chen Xinyue seemed to have discovered something, and he completely changed direction and walked towards Hua Jiyun step by step.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Hua Jiyun's lips became tighter and tighter.

"It's you..."

Chen Xinyue suddenly poked his head out from behind the trunk, and the sound rang in Hua Jiyun's ears.

Hua Jiyun had some goose bumps on her neck, so she quickly avoided him.

Chen Xinyue was already sweating all over. He stared at Hua Jiyun, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness of last night, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Hua Jiyun just looked at him and didn't say anything.

"Why don't you answer me?" Chen Xinyue turned his head and stared at Hua Jiyun with a strange expression, "You... look down on me?"

"Or, do you think you have a backer?"

"Hehe...hehe..."

He smiled strangely, and suddenly put his hand into his arms, as if he was about to dig something out.

"By the way, my knot is a hat. Logically... the hat cannot be a weapon, but... it is different."

A white sun hat appeared in his hand.

"The owner of this hat used it to suffocate the family of five, including himself. Now it seems like he wants to kill someone again..."

Chen Xinyue looked at Hua Jiyun expectantly. He couldn't wait to see a look of fear and despair from her tender face.
