Chapter 872 Under the Plum Tree

Upon hearing this, Song Jiang immediately said happily, "Of course I am willing, let's go, let's talk while walking..."

According to Peng Defa, it happened about thirty years ago, and he can no longer remember the specific time. The only thing he remembers is that the woman he met that night was too scary. Even though such a long time has passed, he still can't remember it. I can't forget the look in the other person's eyes, it's like an evil spirit from the area...

At that time, Peng Defa was still in junior high school, and the school was very far away from home, so every time he had a holiday, his mother, Zhao Shunfang, would ride a bicycle to pick him up... Who would have thought that one day the school would temporarily have a three-day holiday due to weather. The village was poor and there was no phone, let alone a mobile phone, so Peng Defa couldn't inform his mother to pick him up from school, so he had to take a truck in the same direction and come back by himself.

Unexpectedly, the truck broke down halfway. By the time Peng Defa finally managed to get home, it was completely dark. He was very familiar with the roads in the village, so he could find his home even in the dark. But the bad thing was the night before. He and his classmates went to the video hall near the school to watch a Japanese horror film called Midnight Bell. One of the scenes showed a disheveled female ghost crawling out of a well little by little, so when he passed by the well in the village , I couldn't help but conjure up the image of a female ghost coming out of a well...

If it were just those scenes in his mind, Peng Defa would not still be able to remember it until now. It turned out that just when he was frightened and wanted to take two steps to get away from the well, he suddenly heard a woman coming from the well. The low moaning sound immediately frightened Peng so much that his legs became weak and he couldn't walk even one step.

Peng Defa was only a teenager at that time. He had never seen such a scene before. He watched a woman slowly climb out of the well and looked at him with a pair of blood-red eyes. He immediately rolled his eyes and fainted. Later, the neighbor's aunt who got up early to fetch water from the well found Peng Defa lying on the ground, and then she quickly called his family members to carry him back.

He was so cold and frightened that night that Peng Defa had a fever the next day and started talking nonsense. Therefore, when his family asked him what he saw that night, he couldn't explain what he saw at that time. Is it a human or a ghost, or is it just a picture that I imagined after watching a horror movie? ! In addition, he was young and energetic at that time, and he was really embarrassed to tell people that he had seen a ghost and was scared to death, so he never mentioned this matter to any outsiders.

After hearing the story told by Peng Defa, Deng Kai said with determination, "You must have seen something at that time...remember it carefully."

Peng Defa smiled after hearing this and said, "To be honest...it took too long and I really can't recall too many details, but one thing I can be sure of is that I 100% saw something that night, because I It’s absolutely impossible to faint from being frightened by an imaginary female ghost.”

While they were talking, the group came to the door of an extremely dilapidated rural courtyard. Peng Defa pointed to the door and said to several people, "This is the home of the village elder, Uncle Zuo. I haven't been back to see it for some years. I didn't even know that he had passed away... In fact, our two families moved around quite frequently in the early years. At that time, our family's conditions were very poor. One year, I couldn't even pay for my tuition. In the end, it was Old Uncle Zuo who I sold a sheep at home to raise the money, but for some reason, the two families gradually stopped communicating. "

After hearing this, Liu Hailong patted Peng Defa on the shoulder and said, "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature... Let's go and see how their mother and son are doing now."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ma Hui, who had been normal all the way, suddenly changed from normal. She looked straight at the shabby little yard and muttered, "I found it... I finally found it!"

When Ma Hui's parents saw something was wrong with their daughter, they must have fallen ill again, so they quickly looked at Gu Hao. The latter did not rush to suppress it with a silver needle this time, but asked softly, "What did you find?!" Hui slowly turned her head after hearing this. Her eyes were bloodshot at some point, and she listened to her words word by word, "My body was found..."

Although Ma Hui spoke these words slowly but clearly, Peng Defa next to her was confused and said, "Whose body was found?"

But Gu Hao had no time to pay attention to him at this time, but continued to ask Ma Huidao, "Where is it?"

After hearing this, Ma Hui slowly raised her right hand, and then pointed to a plum tree in the yard... Upon seeing this, Song Jiang and Gu Hao immediately looked through the fence to the plum tree in the yard, and found that its The trunk is thick and strong, and it is covered with big, plump, purple-black plums.

As a result, just when everyone's attention was attracted by the plum tree in the yard, a hoarse voice asked, "Who are you looking for?"

When everyone heard the voice, they turned around and saw the old lady who had called Zuo Manzhu away before. She was now standing quietly behind them, looking at them coldly. Peng Defa immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Auntie, I'm Peng Defa. How have you been in these years? I brought some friends to see you today... and brought you some supplements."

After hearing this, the old lady snorted coldly and said, "I won't be dead for a while...Peng Defa, your mother never told you before she died, don't you always run to the old village when nothing happens? You took the money and lived in the building and you don't know." Are you satisfied? You want to come back and watch my old lady’s jokes now?”

Peng Defa was so angry after hearing this. If Liu Hailong and Song Jiang weren't present, he would have to turn around and leave. He thought to himself, why does this old woman become less and less ignorant as she gets older? It is said that if you raise your hand, you will not hit someone with a smiling face. They are not empty-handed. As for the fact that the nose is not a nose and the face is not a face? You are the one who asked for the building that makes you unable to live in the city. You can't blame others for this, right? !

Although he was angry in his heart, Peng Defa could not curse directly. After all, the other party was his elder, and Old Uncle Zuo had indeed helped their family in the early years, so he could only say with a dry smile, "Look at what you said... As a junior, I just came here to take a look at your body. In the early years, I couldn’t afford the tuition fees for school. It was you and Uncle Zuo who helped me to finish reading. You are getting older day by day, so I came here to see you. It seems you should."

Unexpectedly, the old lady said ungratefully, "One code is the same. That is your family's business and his. It has nothing to do with my wife. Take your things and get out! Stop annoying me here..."
