Still afraid that Li Gui would ask him, he quickly said
"I do not know I do not know."
"Um, this..."
Seeing that he had easily locked up two households of villagers, Li Gui's expression was a little dull.
Looking at the other unknown villagers in the distance, he didn't know how to obtain information for a while.
It seems that the so-called Tsuchiya No. 13 incident has caused panic in the entire village.
If he asked directly like this, he might not get anything.
You still have to make some subtle moves.
With his thoughts flowing, Li Gui's frozen expression changed into a forced smile after a few seconds.
With a professional fake smile of a doctor, he walked into a small shop about ten meters ahead.
Just now, the fat boss lady inside was looking at this handsome young man curiously. Unexpectedly, he walked over in a blink of an eye.
"Hi, you're from a big city. I'm visiting relatives. What do you want to buy?"
"Ah, yes, it's been a long time since I came here. I want to buy some wine. I'll bring it to my second uncle."
Li Gui kept his expression and pretended to look at the things on the shelves.
I accidentally discovered that there was a thin layer of dust on the items above.
It seems that the flow of people in this village is really pitiful, and no one even comes to this small shop often.
"Filial filial piety. There are not many people who are as filial as you now. Take this special offer. It is good for the elderly and not expensive. Then take a box of milk and a box of biscuits. If you take more, you will gain face. Plus The total is 135, Auntie will give you a cheaper price, 120, what do you think?"
Little did he know that Li Gui had other plans, with a businessman's pursuit of profit and a rural person's unique simplicity.
Almost as soon as Li Gui finished speaking, the proprietress wearing an apron immediately took down a box of milk and a box of wine from the shelf, and finally added a box of biscuits, and placed them together at Li Gui's feet with a smile. .
"Okay, I don't understand either. Sister, just watch and figure it out."
Looking at the gifts at his feet, Li Gui, who was not interested in drinking, would certainly not make the other party unhappy.
Instead, he followed the words of the landlady and began to flatter him.
"Hehehe~ I'm old enough to be your mother. You still call me sister. I'm going to call you auntie. Okay, I'll find a bag for you and wrap it up for your convenience."
The lady boss smiled happily when she heard what the young man called her.
While happily loading Li Gui's things, he also curiously asked
"Young man, what's your second uncle's last name? I've lived here for seven or eight years, and I know her almost from house to house. Maybe your second uncle has even bought something from me."
"Oh...my second uncle's surname is Zhang. He usually works by himself and doesn't wander around. Maybe you don't know me, sister."
I just said a random surname.
After hearing this, the landlady wrapped the things and put them behind Li Gui, then she muttered curiously.
"The surname is Zhang? Zhang Tianjin's nephew? But Zhang Tianjin doesn't grow vegetables either. He is a hairdresser. How can he be Zhang He's nephew?"
Fortunately, the landlady didn't have any doubts, she just looked at Li Gui with doubts.
"Maybe... By the way, boss lady, I plan to build a new house for my second uncle here. I heard that there is an abandoned mud house nearby that is unoccupied. Do you think I can find someone to buy it? .”
Chapter 10 Tsuchiya No. 13
"Abandoned mud house?"
Hearing this, the fat proprietress was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and shook her head.
"There are a lot of mud houses in our place, almost all of them, but I have never heard of any abandoned ones. There are only a few households in this village, and they are all old people and children. In some families, the old people have passed away and no one lives in the house. Generally, They’ll all be locked up, put away some things, discard them, but there won’t be any.”
The business was already deserted, and coupled with Li Gui's sweet talk just now, the chatty landlady was still willing to have a few words with the young man from this city.
"No, I heard from my second uncle that no one lives in the mud house with house number [-] in this village?"
Finally coming to the crux of the problem, Li Gui calmly concentrated his attention.
"Hiss...you're talking about that house."
Step by step, this time the landlady was finally not scared away by Li Gui like the previous two villagers.
Maybe it was because Li Gui was sitting on a chair in her shop and she couldn't avoid it.
"Why did your second uncle tell you about that house? That house is not good. That house is very evil."
She obviously knew something. When she heard that the abandoned house Li Gui mentioned was the No. 13 earthen house, the landlady took a deep breath and even trembled as she spoke.
"It's so evil. Why is it so evil?"
A curious expression appeared on Li Gui's face, and he sat up straight.
Of course he knew that the house was evil, and the reason why he asked like this was just to get more relevant information.
After all, the notebook only gave an address and nothing else.
To be cautious, he could only obtain more information about the earthen house.
Perhaps by guessing, you can know what the unfulfilled long-cherished wish is.
"I don't know the specifics. I got married a few years ago. Some things about that house were told to me by my mother-in-law."
The landlady sighed, leaning her fat body against the glass counter, looking at Li Gui, and then spoke after a while.
"I heard that that house produced the first college student in our village, named Lin Yiyi, more than ten years ago. At that time, the whole village came to congratulate me. That lantern and colorful decoration, according to what I said That is, it was almost the same as the Chinese New Year. At that time, the piles of things in their house could not be piled up, and others also praised the granddaughter of the old Lin family for her success, beauty, good character, and filial piety. At that time, every household in the village was I envy the old lady of the Lin family to have such a granddaughter."
The proprietress's narration was not good, and her own thoughts were always mixed in between long paragraphs of explanation.
However, Li Gui did not dare to miss any details and remembered almost every word in his heart.
"Logically speaking, the Lin family can be regarded as a glorious ancestor. There is her granddaughter and the people in the village who don't want to have a better relationship with the Lin family. But who would let the old lady of the Lin family act like a monster? She has nothing to do. When she gets angry, she goes out on the street and scolds people. Almost all the ten households in the village have been scolded by her, and the man in my family told me that he has been scolded for no reason."
"Swearing, why are you swearing?"
After hearing the key points of the information, Li Gui couldn't help but asked doubtfully
"Hey, she's older and mentally a bit abnormal. In addition, her son later committed suicide and no one took care of her. Her temper became even worse. She always ran to the street and said how her family was murdered. , her eldest daughter and second son were killed by so and so. The person who killed them is still living a free and easy life, no one cares about it. He scolded us and took money, so he killed her younger son, and still wants to It was useless to even try to persuade the police to harm her granddaughter. Who doesn’t know the unjust things you said she said, but what could be done? That was the way it was in those days. It would be useless even if she went to heaven to make trouble. Her granddaughter She was also sensible, and I tried to persuade her every time she came back from vacation, but it didn't take long for her to start again. As time went by, everyone in the village ran away as soon as they saw her, except for the old lady named Zhang opposite her. , and no one wants to go to her."
It can be seen that the boss lady is usually someone who likes to listen to gossip.
Although she has never personally experienced what she said, she can't help but put her own emotions into it when talking about it.
"Are the old lady named Zhang and the Lin family's mother-in-law neighbors?"
"Well, I heard that the old lady still lives there. She is really brave. If it were me, I would have run away."
Li Gui's eyes were filled with thoughts. After being silent for a while, he then asked
"Sister, do you know why the mother-in-law's son committed suicide?"
"I don't know about this. I only know that his son started selling fruit after he was crushed in a mine and became disabled. I didn't tell me anything else."
"Oh...then what happened later? Why was no one living in that house? Why did everyone avoid me when I told them about it."
Nodding, Li Gui wrote down these two key figures and motioned to the landlady to continue.
"It's evil. I'm afraid of getting into trouble... According to what my man said, the old Lin family woman was still cursing people on the street that day. Then her granddaughter returned to the village for vacation. When she saw it, she took her mother-in-law away. After returning home, a few days later, someone from the police station called the police, saying that her daughter had died of gas poisoning. Upon investigation, it was discovered that her mother-in-law had forgotten to turn off the gas while cooking, and the daughter had been killed. You said such a good girl was gone like this. What a pity. Later, the village arranged to bury her. Not long after, her mother-in-law also hanged herself in the main room of that house. From then on, something started to go wrong in that house. ”
This time the landlady was nibbling on the melon seeds in her pocket and revealed a lot of information. While Li Gui's mind was wandering, he didn't answer for a while. After a while, he continued to ask.
"Something's wrong? Is it haunted?"
"It seems so. I also heard other people say that the voice of the Lin family's old lady came from inside from time to time. There were also TV sounds and phone ringings that came out for no reason. It was all messy. Anyway, it was getting more and more evil. Starting from I didn't believe it either, and I took it all as a joke, but... Later, there was a ruffian here who made a bet with others and went to sleep there for one night. He was found dead in that house early the next morning. Ah, all the police in the village went there and searched for a long time but found nothing. Later, the house was sealed. You said it was scary or not, so I said that the place was very evil."
The landlady was eating melon seeds while talking to herself.
She was a little scared just saying that, and she even stood outside in the sun. After finding that Li Gui lowered his head in deep thought and made no sound, she added another sentence.
"Young man, you'd better not pay attention to that house. Even if you don't believe it, that house where people have died is evil and unlucky to live in."
Hearing this, Li Gui smiled bitterly in his heart. If it weren't for his own life, he wouldn't have run to such a ghost place.
The most important thing is that this may not help him save his life. Maybe he only has one day left to live, and he has to explain it here today.
"Well, thank you sister, I'm just curious."
Chapter 11 Worship after death!
Mo Mo sighed in his heart and saw an old man carrying a hoe walking towards here in the distance.
Li Gui, who guessed that the boss lady's husband had returned, did not ask any more questions, but immediately stood up, picked up the things at his feet, and put the money on the counter.
"Then thank you sister for telling me. By the way, sister, do you know where that house is?"
"I know, everyone in the village knows that if you walk along this street, you will see a trail in the middle, and then keep going up the ladder on the trail, and you will see a house on a dirt road next to the bamboo forest. No, I’m not saying, young man, if you really want to go, forget it. If you want to build a house, you can just find someone to buy it for you. Why go to that ghost place?"
It could be seen that the landlady still didn't want the kid from the city to be in danger. After taking the money, she looked at him with a warning in her words.
"It's okay. I'm just curious. Thank you, sister. I'll go then."
The real owner of the house has returned, and Li Gui didn't stop there anymore, and immediately left with the things he bought.
After just a few meters away from the house, the old man carrying the hoe returned to his shop and looked at Li Gui's back curiously.
"Who is he? He doesn't look like someone from the village."
"A kid from the city wants to build a house for his second uncle. How is the food today?"
"No, it hasn't rained for two months in a row. It's extremely dry."
"Hey, luckily I sold some things during my housekeeping today, otherwise I might not have anything to eat for a few days."
"Look at what you said, you can take it for what it is."
......
After leaving the shop, Li Gui carried his things and while thinking, he followed the proprietress's words and walked towards the middle of the street.
Along the way, his handsome and fair appearance attracted the curious attention of many villagers.
However, Li Gui didn't pay much attention. At this time, his mind was filled with the words of the landlady just now. While sorting out the clues, he also had some unanswerable questions.
"What happened more than ten years ago, and according to the investigation at the time, it seems to be an accident?"
......
"But the nature of this case is uncertain. This village is so backward now, and the results of more than ten years of investigation may not be the truth. At least if the dead girl was really obsessed, the most likely possibility is that she was People were killed.”
Li Gui originally had a guess about this idea.
It was probably because the old lady of the Lin family was mentally ill and often cursed at people on the street, so some people resented her, and then deliberately set off the gas to kill them, pretending it was an accident.
If this is the case, then the most likely ones are those who the old lady of the Lin family said harmed her children, but are still enjoying themselves now.
But later Li Gui thought about it carefully and found that this reasoning did not make sense.
After all, according to the description given by the landlady, the old lady’s granddaughter should be the first to die, while the old lady hanged herself.
If someone really had evil intentions because of the old lady's crazy words, they shouldn't have attacked the old lady's granddaughter, the girl named Lin Yiyi, first.
Even if they were afraid that the other party would find something, they should kill both of them together instead of letting the old lady commit suicide. After all, no one can say for sure on this probability issue.
Wouldn't it be more dangerous if something happened to happen?
But other than this, Li Gui couldn't think of anyone who would deliberately harm this family.
However, his current thinking is based on the premise that both the elder and younger members of the Lin family were killed.
There is also a possibility that the result of the investigation at that time was the truth, and the obsession in the notebook was something else.
Suddenly remembering the notebook behind him, Li Gui quickly took his backpack and took out the red notebook.
When he was in the taxi just now, he noticed that his notebook had not changed much since arriving in this small village, so he put it back in his bag after feeling that it was of no use.
Now that we have obtained new information, there may be some new information coming out.
Sure enough, on the second page of the notebook, on the originally empty page, new words appeared at some point.
Different from the color of the font on the first page, the words on the second page are written in dark red and look more like they were written in blood.
