16. Ghost eating melon(2/2)
Others shouted, and Wang Youde turned around and ran away.
Yun Song felt that he was timid enough, but compared to the villagers, he was bold.
If there is a derby with Wang, he will be very brave.
He held the Luotou family's dark money and shouted to calm the crowd, asking: "Where is the ghost? Why do you say this is Guitou Gua?"
The leading man looking at the melons had a pale face: "Sir, our brothers have been here since noon. We can guarantee that no one will enter the melon shed. Then who eats this melon?"
Yun Song said: "Maybe it was done by wild animals?"
Pu Laoshi shook his head and said: "Master, this is a layman's talk. These are indeed the marks left by people eating melons. Look, there are still teeth marks on the skin of some melons!"
Yunsong looked at it and it was true.
He groaned and said: "Then there is only one truth!"
Everyone looked at him with wide eyes.
He said slowly: "Someone stole the watermelon and ate it in the shed!"
Upon hearing this, the men shook their heads in disappointment: "Sir, we have told you that there are people looking at melons all day long today, and no one comes in or out of the shed!"
"And the rind of this melon is very fresh. It looks like it was just eaten and thrown away," another man added, "You can see the melon fields when you came here just now, but have you seen anyone entering or leaving this hut?"
Wang Youde nodded: "I have very good eyesight. It is true that no one left the shed just now."
Yunsong pointed to a simple wooden bed next to him and said, "He may still be hiding in the shed, such as under this bed."
The wooden bed was covered with thatched curtains, which drooped to the ground, blocking the space under the bed.
However, this wooden bed was built by myself. The bed board is very short and does not look like it can hide people.
Yun Song just said it casually. He knelt down and opened the curtain to look inside.
The dim sunset light shines in through the opened curtain of the melon shed, and the light inside the melon shed is dim.
But the light did not reach under the bed, and it was completely dark under the bed.
In the darkness, there are two green lights.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
A shrill howl sounded from under the bed.
At the same time, a scream suddenly sounded from behind Yunsong:
"ah!"
However, someone followed him curiously and looked down. This person was frightened and screamed while running backwards.
Yun Song didn't notice that there was someone behind him, so a scream suddenly rang out, which frightened him so much that he almost bit the tip of his tongue and turned into a Luotou clan and ran away.
The other villagers were even worse. Pu Laoshi turned around and ran away, only to trip and fall. Then he climbed out quickly.
Yun Song was quite surprised.
The old man has weak legs and feet, but he climbs up very quickly!
The man running away shouted: "There is someone under the bed, someone!"
Yun Song, who was about to run away, was about to burst with anger. He stepped back and grabbed the man's shoulders and said angrily: "Why are you afraid of someone?"
The man said blankly: "Yes, what am I afraid of?"
Yun Song winked at everyone.
Everyone stood outside the melon shed and pretended not to see it.
However, the person under the bed howled for a while and then couldn't help but got out.
He knelt down and shouted: "Spare your life, spare your life, all heroes, spare your life! I stole your watermelons and corns because I was really hungry! Spare me, don't kill me!"
When Yun Song heard this, he looked at Pu Laoshi in surprise.
Are the local folk customs so tough?
Pu Laoshi gained courage after discovering that the other party was a coward.
He asked angrily: "You are such a brave young man, how dare you come to steal fruits and food from this village? But who said that I want to kill you?"
The person who jumped out was a young man, fair and fair-looking, but he didn't know what was going on. His clothes were torn, his face was gray, and he was in a very embarrassed state.
Hearing Pu Laoshi's question, the young man knelt on the ground and said, "I, I, I heard it at night. Some people said that if they knew who stole the corn, they would kill him - don't kill me, you don't kill me!"
Yun Song frowned habitually.
This young man seems to be lacking some strength?
Before anyone could greet him, the young man said again: "Don't kill me. My family seems to be rich. My father is a wealthy family, a big dog!"
Yun Song looked at the young man carefully and felt a little regretful: "They are quite handsome, but they are fools."
A man was overjoyed when he heard this: "Wouldn't it be better if the handsome young man were a fool?"
Finding that the melon thief was not in danger, Wang Youde squeezed in again to watch the fun.
He was shocked when he saw it, and shouted: "Master Gou, why are you here?"
The young man raised his head in surprise and asked: "Who are you? Do you know me? Yes, I am Gou Wenwu - you are, are you Mayor Wang?"
Wang Youde nodded at him, and then said to Yun Song: "Master, this is the young master of the Gou family in our town, but that's not right. I saw Mr. Gou this morning. Why are you here?"
Gou Wenwu said blankly: "Yes, why do I appear here?"
He asked back and thought hard. He didn't know what he thought of, but suddenly he screamed in horror:
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't seal me in a stone! My father did this, it's my father, it has nothing to do with me, it really has nothing to do with me, where is my father? Mayor Wang, where is my father?"
