There's definitely something wrong with this script.

Chapter 541 July [-]th is an auspicious day

Osmanthus fragrans village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, presenting a square depression. The back mountain as the main body is high, and there is a large mountain range behind it.

There are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the village. This season is the period when sweet-scented osmanthus is about to bloom. Clusters of white flowers float among the branches and leaves, close to the yards of every household.

The bushes are not high, and the planting is quite regular, so standing on the mountainside, you can almost see the whole village.

The houses are like houses, and the rice paddies are trafficked.

Xu Shuo likes this kind of high standing place.

The village chief gestured to him next to him: "The first house at the foot of the mountain is Lao Li's house. Because it's close, it's no problem for the murderer to jump over the window and run to your side after killing someone."

In order to restore the scene of the crime to Xu Shuo, the two of them were standing on a big rock halfway up the mountain, pointing at the houses below.

Xu Shuo heard the words and said: "I can be sure that the murderer did not come to my side at that time."

Because this script is a completely altered version, there are no restrictions on Xu Shuo's other abilities except for the skills and props above the third stage.

And since he got the "Alpha Character Card", Xu Shuo has become more and more proficient in controlling his mental power through the use of the director's ability.

Therefore, he can be sure that when he was addicted to cooking, no one approached halfway up the mountain.

Therefore, the murderer ran to the village.

The village head went on to say: "At that time, the wife of Lao Li's family was also cooking, and her son was sleeping on the kang. When Lao Li came back from the field, he saw his son died on the bed, and his wife was hacked to death in front of the stove."

Xu Shuo paused: "Is Lao Li the first witness to this incident?"

The village chief nodded: "Old Li shouted, and the rest of the village ran over."

So the first scream, which was heard halfway up the mountain, was Lao Li's scream when he found out that his wife and child had died tragically, followed by the screams of the villagers who rushed to watch the play.

After listening to Lao Li's description of the murderer, the villagers quickly locked on Wang Tiezhu who lived halfway up the mountain.

After all, Wang Tiezhu is very suitable as a murderer no matter in terms of body shape, weapon, or place of residence.

But when everyone was about to go up to denounce Wang Tiezhu, the village chief stopped him, and sent Ergou, who had quick legs and feet, to run up first to see if Wang Tiezhu was at home.

Then, the village chief dismissed the crowd.

Xu Shuo thought about it after hearing what had happened, "Why are you so sure that the murderer will commit another murder?"

The village chief sneered: "The behavior of throwing dirty water is too obvious. If he has a grudge against you, he will strike again. If he just kills people indiscriminately... there is no need to throw dirty water on you."

Because no one except Lao Li had seen the murderer.

The village chief looked at the house down the mountain, and at the old Li's house hidden behind the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, his eyes were unclear.

Xu Shuo also looked at the house: "Can I go to the scene of the crime now?"

The village head shook his head: "Now the villagers are very hostile to you, you'd better not go down, I also have the help of Wang Fuhu to stop those people temporarily."

Wang Fuhu is the big landlord of Osmanthus Village.

Most of the fields that the villagers used to work were rented out by Wang Fuhu, so compared to the prestige of the village chief, Wang Fuhu's words in Guihua Village actually carried more weight.

Although Wang Tiezhu has little relationship with Wang Fu's family, he still has a little bit of Wang's blood.

It's just that in the past, Wang Fuhu didn't care about this distant relative, otherwise he wouldn't let this child live alone on the mountain.

But now for some reason, Wang Fuhu took the initiative to speak for Wang Tiezhu, and the village chief had a chance to stabilize the angry villagers.

"So you mean..."

Xu Shuo said indifferently: "I'll just stay at home and pretend nothing happened, and then wait tonight to see if the murderer will come to kill someone, or let him kill another person to see what happens?"

The village head nodded: "That's it."

Xu Shuo waved his hands and turned back to the yard, saying, "Then I hope you find the murderer soon."

He wasn't going to be in the house tonight anyway.

He still has to find out where the bride's body is.

The village chief looked at his back and couldn't help but said: "It will be dangerous at night, don't live alone, and it's best not to go out."

Xu Shuo stopped and looked back at him.

After the village head and he looked at each other, he seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Why don't I stay here with you at night? After all, seeing you is like seeing my grandson. It's very kind."

The corner of Xu Shuo's mouth twitched: "Yes."

This old thing came here and said so many things, but in fact this is the real purpose, right?

So why did he deliberately get close to Wang Tiezhu?

The village chief's desire to find the murderer does not seem to be fake, so the murderer may really be linked to his "main mission", but what role can Wang Tiezhu play in this?

Xu Shuo read the character information several times and came to the conclusion that Wang Tiezhu is just a fool who goes hunting in the mountains every day.

But there will be no characters that have nothing to do with the plot in the script.

So Wang Tiezhu... Maybe it has something to do with the bride, the center of the script?
After all, this is an altered version.

……

……

into the night.

Wang Tiezhu's home is not big, a yard, a kitchen and utility room, a simple latrine, and a room with a kang are all the specifications.

On the other side of the kitchen wall is the kang, which is three meters wide and four meters long, and is stacked against the wall.

The 70-year-old village head slept on the innermost side of the kang, while Xu Shuo lay on the outer side of the kang. The quilts they covered were simple cotton cloth without cotton filling.

Judging from the breathing rate, the village chief should not have fallen asleep.

The night sky is sparse.

Here is halfway up the mountain, the sound of insects singing and birds singing can be heard from time to time, and there are especially many mosquitoes.

On the other side of the wall with poor sound insulation, there are often rustling sounds in the kitchen, as if some small animal is turning over things.

Xu Shuo lay neatly on the kang, with his hands resting on his waist and abdomen, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

I don't know how long has passed.

It was so long that he felt as if he was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint singing in my ears, and I heard singing from somewhere.

The singing voice is indistinct, sometimes absent, somewhat ethereal and melancholy, and somewhat sad and sad, as if singing or crying.

Xu Shuo suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, looking out of the window with no expression on his face.

The cold moonlight shone through the window lattice and scattered on the floor in pieces.

At this time, the village head, who seemed to have noticed his movement, quickly raised his upper body and looked at him with some doubts.

"What's wrong?" the village chief asked in a low voice.

"It's getting dark." Xu Shuo said.

"Then sleep."

"Get up and say hello."

"……"village head.

The guy is quite humorous.

But soon, the village chief discovered that he was not just humorous.

This guy completely ignored his advice during the day, got up and left the kang, pulled out the latch of the door, as if he was about to open the door and go out.

"You wait! You wait!"

The aged old village head immediately got up nimbly, he felt his crutches on the kang, and walked to Xu Shuo's side nimbly.

Xu Shuo looked at him and asked.

"Cough..." The old village chief was haggard for a second: "Didn't I tell you that it's dangerous outside at night, why don't you let my rusty bones accompany you out to toss around?"

"You can stay here and sleep." Xu Shuo remained expressionless.

"Well, I don't worry about you. Your two uncles are resting in the kitchen during the day. You can check if they are still there." The village chief said.

When he decided to spend the night here, the two servants of the village head's family also stayed, but because Wang Tiezhu's room was too small, they had to take the bedding and spend the night in the kitchen.

After Xu Shuo listened, he opened the door and went out.

The yard is quiet.

The moonlight shone on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the corner, casting a dark shadow underneath.

Approaching the middle of the month, the moon in the sky was quite round, and the bright moonlight was enough to see the yard and kitchen clearly, and there was no one there.

The kitchen door was open, but no one was there.

"Let's go." Xu Shuo said lightly.

"Son, can you say more words?" The village head stood in front of the door of the house, looking towards the kitchen.

The kitchen also has a door, but at this time the door is open as in the daytime, and there are only two opened quilts in front of the stove. There are traces of being pressed on the quilts, but there is no one there.

Xu Shuo's eyes suddenly froze.

He quickly walked out of the yard and looked down the mountain.

The village under the mountain.

Flowering.

……

The white sweet-scented osmanthus fluttered in the air, which was extremely conspicuous under the moonlight, and scattered on the road, like white paper flowers swayed at a funeral.

And that resentful singing came from the bottom of the mountain.

Xu Shuo concentrated his attention and listened attentively.

It seems that some woman is singing——

"July [-]th, auspicious day..."

"..."

Xu Shuo turned his head to look at the village chief at the door of the house, and asked, "Do you know where the cemeteries in the village are?"

The village chief looked at him with a complicated expression: "It's safest to stay here."

"Then you stay here." Xu Shuo turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, why don't you listen to persuasion..."

The village chief yelled, but he immediately stepped up to follow him. The crutch in his hand seemed to be useless, and his old legs walked faster than Ergou.

After Xu Shuo walked out of the courtyard, he stopped suddenly and walked back.

The village chief heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, thinking that he was thinking about it again: "Hey, just don't go out."

As a result, Xu Shuo went to the kitchen, took down the hatchet hanging on the wall, then turned around and continued walking down the mountain.

This hatchet was once suspected as a murder weapon, and he had to carry it with him, so as not to be taken away by someone and then put the murderer's stigma on him.

The village head looked at his back and hesitated to speak.

But what else to do.

Can only continue to follow.

Because the security circle of this script is not Wang Tiezhu's home, but Wang Tiezhu himself!
As soon as he entered the script, the mentor gave him hints.

[The most unpretentious name is often the safest place. 】

So Ergou is unpretentious?
It's so simple!
There are also names of various big dogs, three dogs, and dogs in the village!
But the only difference from these dogs is that the name "Wang Tiezhu" appears in the village chief's role information, and there is quite a lot of information.

That's why the village chief came to the door immediately.

No matter what, he had to insure his own life first!
……

The way down the mountain is a bit rough.

But when the two of them walked halfway by the moonlight, Xu Shuo suddenly stopped, and almost let the village chief, who was following him closely behind him, bump into him.

The village head wondered: "Why didn't you leave?"

Xu Shuo turned his head to look at the road with a calm expression, then looked up at the faintly visible roofs halfway up the mountain, and finally looked at the village chief.

He asked seriously: "Because I remembered, you haven't told me where the cemetery is. I've lived in Osmanthus Village for so long, and I haven't seen the tomb yet."

The village head said helplessly, "The cemetery is just behind the mountain where you live."

So why are you walking into the village?

Xu Shuo paused, and then looked away as if nothing had happened: "Oh, actually, what I really wanted to say just now was that we encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and the mention of the cemetery was just to give you courage."

village head:"???!"

The topic jumped so fast that the village chief stood there in a daze.

Xu Shuo pointed to a grass in front of the mountain road and said: "We have just passed this place three times, because this grass grows in the crevices of the rocks, so I took a second look."

The village chief was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the young man's speed, so he kept staring at Xu Shuo's back and hurried on without observing the surroundings.

At this moment, he was awakened suddenly, looked around again, and finally felt a little strange.

Birds and insects, all gone.

This road is dead silent like a ghost.

The singing in Xu Shuo's ears had also disappeared, but the fluttering osmanthus flowers at the foot of the mountain were still conspicuous, putting the whole village in white desolation.

The village chief put on a blank face: Didn't MMP say that Wang Tiezhu was in the security circle?
Is the security circle really other dogs?
However, apart from encountering ghosts hitting the wall, they have not encountered other weird things for the time being, at least they have no sense of crisis.

Xu Shuo simply stopped, folded his arms leisurely, looked at the village down the mountain with his head tilted, and suddenly said, "I have a question for you."

The village chief looked at him: "What's the problem?"

"Is July [-] an auspicious day?"

"...It depends on which aspect it is."

"Married?"

"...Child, this is not fun."

"I see someone interested."

Xu Shuo squinted his eyes, turned his head to look at the face of the village head with twinkling eyes, and suddenly raised his feet and slowly approached him. The moonlight fell on the top of his head, casting a shadow on his eyebrows and eyes under his hair.

At this moment, the village chief trembled all over his body, his expression became serious, and his body muscles tensed slightly.

Xu Shuo took a step forward and asked sullenly, "Village Chief, why have you been following me?"

The village chief subconsciously took half a step back, and smiled with difficulty: "Isn't it because I'm afraid that something will happen to you silly boy."

"Then why is the village dangerous at night?"

"Isn't this... someone wants to deal with you."

"Village chief, I think you know a lot. Whether we can get out of this ghost's wall depends on how much you can tell." Xu Shuo looked at him expressionlessly.

He can be used by this person, but he can't just charge nothing, this is the bottom line!
