Chapter 22: The First Outing
There were wild ginseng everywhere there, even the red cloth wrapping the ginseng was gone!
"It's her, she must have stolen it!" Widow Xu saw me with sharp eyes.
She grabbed my wrist and stared at the bracelet: "I stole the wild ginseng and exchanged it for a silver bracelet!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped half a meter high: "Ouch! How dare you bite me!"
On Widow Xu's wrist, there were two small holes with blood dripping from them.
I guess Jingyuan bit her.
Damn, deserve it!
He just took the opportunity to push her away: "You are such a mouthful, why don't you ask Shen Jiaojiao if you stole it?"
"Yes! I remembered that last night Shen Jiaojiao came to look for something in the cupboard. She must have stolen it!" My grandma slapped her thigh and yelled in the room that there was a thief in the house.
Not to be outdone, Widow Xu confronted her: "That's a delicate thing in the first place, why should I take advantage of you, an old woman?"
I was too lazy to pay attention to her and ran out to call Aunt Xue back.
"Porcelain girl, how are you doing with that one?" There was a bit of noise on her side.
I muttered in a low voice: "That's it."
She laughed a few times: "I have a business here, do you want to do it?"
"Tell me?" I still owe her money and I have to find a way to pay it back.
Besides, don't you mean to do good deeds for Jing Yuan and help him achieve bliss as soon as possible?
"Humph, you are in the Immortal Class!" The cold air penetrated along his eardrums.
I touched my earlobe: "It's the same thing."
Aunt Xue said over there: "The Heishan Village next door to you has an evil spirit. I heard that there are many evil spirits."
"I'm doing errands in the south and can't get back in time. You go and take a look. Do you remember Liu Tiezhu? Your grandma's younger brother's in-laws are from their village."
"I've already made an agreement with Liu Tiezhu to let you go, remember to take your guy with you."
Of course I know who he is. The wedding my grandma attended two days ago was when his son married grandma’s niece.
So, am I right now?
But I am not as evil as they say in the legend, someone who invites gods and is possessed by demons.
"Huh, can I be like them?"
I discovered that Jing Yuan is a bit arrogant.
Our village is called Shemiao Village, and the village next door is called Heishan Village.
But this Heishan village is richer than our village.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw a group of people chattering around under a big tree.
"Village chief, three people are dead!"
"When will you come to see what's going on?"
Liu Tiezhu took a puff of cigarette, and before he could say anything, I stood over.
"Village Chief Liu, I am Aunt Xue's... friend."
Surprise flashed across his dark face, probably because he didn't expect me to be so young.
After a while, he threw away his cigarette and said, "Aunt Xue said you are very effective."
I straightened my back and pretended to be serious. It was the first time I went out to do something, so I had to look like a great fairy.
"Is this little girl cheating money?" Some villagers didn't believe it, and others also agreed.
"Why don't you let me see what's going on first?" I touched the silver bracelet on my wrist.
I don’t know why, but I feel at ease when he is here.
Liu Tiezhu glanced at me: "Come with me."
He took me around most of the village and came to the mountainside.
Hanging on an old tree with a crooked neck was a skinny man.
It was more like a layer of skin that had been chewed clean of flesh and blood, clinging to the tree.
The black dries clung to the tree trunks, attracting a swarm of mung bean flies flying around.
He was grinning, his teeth still holding a bunch of sticky hair!
"This is too evil." Liu Tiezhu did not dare to come forward.
Seeing that man's dead face sent chills down my spine.
These remote villages are very superstitious. They all say that the village is unclean.
That's why I approached Aunt Xue.
"He is the third one?" I frowned: "Why didn't you call the police?"
Liu Tiezhu gave me a strange look: "Aren't you a great fairy?"
He probably has never seen a showman like me who smashes his own sign.
I quickly rounded off my words: "I mean, did someone do it?"
He shook his head: "No, those who died had no grievances against the villagers."
"And all the flesh and blood has been eaten away!"
I thought again, could it be a wild animal? But those wild animals wouldn't hang people on trees, would they?
"Can I see the other two?"
He took me to a dilapidated house in the village.
