Shuxiao thought about it, pretending to be surprised and asked, "why do you say that?"

"Look, you're from other places. I'm afraid you don't know the name of the lake behind our village. It's still water all the year round. No matter how heavy the snow is in winter, there won't be ice. No matter how heavy the rain is, there won't be ripples on the water surface. It's like this all the year round unless it's stirred by people. Before, many people were executed there." Speaking of this, sister-in-law Chen sighed, "all the residents who used to live near the stagnant lake have moved away. No one dares to live there, and few people go there in broad daylight."

"Sister in law, when you say that, I feel very curious. What's the evil law?"

Sister Chen pointed to the woman next to her. "Xiue's little sister, who was seven or eight years old and didn't know much, ran there and played by the lake. She fell in. At that time, the whole village and the village next door were mobilized. Everyone was fishing together, but nothing was found. When she was fishing, Xiue's husband said that the more she went underwater, the colder she felt. When he was about to come up, I can clearly feel that a foot has been caught by a hand. If it wasn't for someone around him who called for help in time, I'm afraid I couldn't get on. "

Li Xiue nodded, "yes, after my husband came up, there were several blue and purple fingerprints on his feet. From then on, we didn't dare to go into the water any more."

"It's scary." Shu Xiaoai said casually, "was that the execution ground before? Why are so many people executed? "

"A few decades ago, where was the current law? At that time, there was a big mistake. It was directly up to the village committee to decide life and death. Now, many people don't have to die, but not at that time."

"What if there is a wrong case?"

Mrs. Chen waved her hand. "What else can we do? We can only let it go. In the past, the village was not allowed to talk about these things. In recent years, the country has opened up, the village atmosphere has changed, and the village committee has no more power. We usually talk about them, but now we seldom talk about them."

Shu Xiaoai doesn't dare to ask any more questions, so she turns to the situation in the village. The women sit together and talk about their own men.

When the sun goes down, go home.

When Shu Xiaoai and elder sister Xu came into the house, Venus was cooking. Elder sister Xu closed her mouth and said, "your husband is still cooking. My husband is just like my uncle at home. All the meals are in front of him."

"To tell you the truth, I don't know how to cook. My husband always comes at home."

Sister Xu envied, "you are blessed. Your husband raised you white and tender. I have to cook."

Shu Xiaoai enters the door, sits on the chair and watches Venus stir fry rice.

"Fortunately you can cook, or we will starve to death."

"I'm used to living alone. I'll do everything by myself." Venus said in a low voice. "There are not many residents in the village. I looked around and found that many of the courtyards are deserted, not like the residents."

"I haven't heard from elder sister Xu. All the young and strong people have gone out, leaving a group of old women and children at home to guard one mu of land, three parts of land, and people left behind."

"If you don't come to the countryside to experience life, I don't know that life is not easy. Miss Shu, our action is up to you. Do you want to take action in the evening?"

Shu small love eye bead son a turn, "already thought well, tonight, I want to personally perform a play, you must cooperate with me."

"What play?"

She pursed her lips. "Let's eat first, and I'll tell you when we finish."

"Good."

As night fell, Fengshui village became silent. Except for the lights of every household, the whole road was dark. From time to time, dogs barked, and dark clouds filled the sky. There were no stars in the sky.

In the yard on the right side of sister Xu's house came a series of miserable calls, followed by a series of calls and curses.

Shu Xiaoai came down from the bed and opened the door. Before sister Xu went to bed, she opened the door. When she saw her coming out, she said, "are you surprised?"

Shu Xiaoai nodded, "yes, come out and have a look."

"You can hear it at both ends in three days. After a long time, you will know that the child next door will be beaten every few days. Alas, poor boy."

"Did her mother hit him?" It was a woman's voice that I heard just now.

"Stepmother, just get used to it. Go to bed early."

With that, sister Xu closed the door.

Just get used to it?

The neighbors around you don't care?

You don't care if you're killed?

Listen to sister Xu's tone, it means that it's not a month or two since she was beaten. It should be a long time.

Scream is still ringing in the ear, Shu Xiaoai frown.

With curiosity, she came to the door next door and looked inside through the crack of the wooden door.

She found a figure with long hair tied to a tree in the yard. She couldn't see her face clearly, but through the scream just now, she knew that it should be a man.

The man's hair is so long that he has never had it cut.

Next to him stood a woman with a whip, whipping him with a whip.

Shu Xiaoai suddenly has a trace of intolerance. How painful should it be?

Seeing that the middle-aged women still don't stop, Shu Xiaoai can't see any more and reaches out her hand to pat the door.

"Who is it?" Inside came the voice of a middle-aged woman.

"It's me. Open the door."

Footsteps came quickly, the door opened, saw Shu Xiaoai, middle-aged women doubt, "who are you?"

"I'm the tenant next door. We have to sleep at night. Can you stop making so much noise?"

"What am I doing in my yard? Do you care? "

Shu small hobby voice good spirit of say, "I can't manage, just say, you listen to go in to listen to, don't listen to go in, he is not your own child, if you are born you willing?"? You'll beat him to death

"Oh, an outsider meddled in my door. What's wrong with killing her? I've been fighting for more than 20 years, but I haven't killed myself. Get out of my way. No matter how much I meddle in other people's affairs, I'll fight with you! "

Then she closed the door with a dull sound.

Shu Xiaoai had to go back. The people in the countryside went to bed early. At eight o'clock, almost many people turned out the lights.

Two people come out of the house, quietly open the door slightly, Venus carrying things and Shu Xiaoai quickly disappear in the night.

Go to the back of the road to the depth of the village.

Shu small love counting, when standing in front of a big iron door, she whispered, "it should be this one."

After that, she took off her coat, exposing a white coat, a mask on her face, and long hair with no long hair.

She took the hook rope he handed him and said, "you wait outside. I'll go in alone."

"Be careful." Venus was a little uneasy.

Shu Xiaoai nodded, "it's OK."

She stood by the door, hung the hook rope on the wall, and climbed on the wall.

Down the wall to the roof of the lower room, and then from the outside stairs into the yard.

The light of the room is not out, but the door has been closed, and there is no dog in the yard, which makes Shu Xiaoai feel very lucky. If she has a dog, the dog should shout at the moment she climbs on the wall.

Shu Xiao falls in love with the front, approaches the door, then reaches out his hand and knocks on the door.

"Who?"

Shu Xiaoai reaches out her hand, shakes the door, and answers in her voice, "I ~"

Finish saying, hastily went up bungalow afresh, just go up, a lamplight is reflected in the courtyard.

"What about people?" A male voice came from Wu Dagang, the male owner of the family.

"I locked the gate, isn't it a burglar?" Shu Xiaoai guessed that she could only come out. It should be Chen Juan, Wu Dagang's current wife.

"Bring me the light and I'll see."

After a few flashes of light, he took it away.

Shu Xiaoai gathered her hair to the front, and then stood up and danced while he was in the room.

All of a sudden, a scream belongs to Chen Juan.

Wu Dagang turned around and was terrified.

But still pretending to be brave and yelling, "you are a man or a ghost!"

Shu Xiaoai said nothing, a few dull laughs, then jumped down from the bungalow.

This jump is not tight, straight sprained.

Venus went back quickly behind her back.

Wu Dagang was so scared that a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Chen Juan was trembling and asked, "Dagang, is that... Yueqin?"

Wu forced himself to be calm, closed the door and turned back to the room.

That night, neither of them fell asleep.

Shu Xiaoai's feet are very painful. Venus soaked her feet with cold well water, which alleviated the swelling and pain.

About to go to bed, Shu Xiaoai suddenly found that there are more than a dozen missed calls, all from Zhong Yuchen.

She quickly dial back to him, just connected, then came his gloomy voice, "why now just call back?"

"I went out in the evening and came back now. Didn't I just see your missed call? I'll call you back. "

"Well, remember to bring your cell phone next time you go out. Where do you live?" Zhong Yuchen leaned on the sofa and asked faintly.

"I rented a house and lived in Villagers' homes."

Smell speech, Zhong Yuchen changed a posture, chew her words repeatedly, "a house? You and Venus live in the same room? "

"We pretend to be husband and wife, and of course we're going to live in the same house?" Shu Xiaoai explained, "it's better to integrate into the villagers and not arouse their suspicion."

"Don't tell me to return a bed..."

"Well... There's only one big wooden bed here, but Venus and I can't lie on the ground without a quilt."

As soon as his voice fell, his anger came, "give him the phone!"

"Zhong Yuchen, don't get excited. I've explained everything to you. I didn't tell you if I knew it."

He repeated, "I said, will call him."

Shu Xiaoai covers the phone with her hand and looks at Venus. "He's angry. Take it easy."

Venus took the phone and whispered, "boss."
