A bucket of water was poured down, and the things on the corpse were washed clean. A rough and dry face appeared in our line of sight.
"Why is it the village chief? Could it be that someone killed the village chief and buried him in the dry well?”Blackie said.
That's right, after that bucket of water went down, the village chief's face appeared in our eyes. The moisture on the village chief's face evaporated, and his face looked very strange.
When Chen Qi heard us talking about the village, she walked over to take a look.
"What? How could it be the village chief? Hu Zi and I saw the village chief buried with our own eyes!”Chen Qi said in surprise.
"No one knows what's going on now unless the village chief resurrects and tells us how he died here.
"Hu Zi, Chen Qi, the village chief died after you came to Lakshmi Village. Tell me about the situation at that time. The village chief's corpse shouldn't be in this dry well!”I said.
Chen Qi said after hearing my words.
"The village chief died on the second day we arrived at Lakshmi Village," said Chen Qi. At that time, I thought it was very strange. After the village saw the embroidered shoes I gave him, it was as if they had seen some terrifying monster. Then, they died the next day. Later, I felt that this matter had a lot to do with me.”
Chen Qi cleared her throat and said,"The village chief died after seeing my embroidered shoes, so I feel very guilty." I stayed in the village until the village chief was buried. Hu Zi and I were there on the day of the burial. We saw the village chief's coffin buried in the soil with our own eyes!”
After saying that, Chen Qi looked at Hu Zi. Hu Zi nodded at me.
If what Chen Qi said was true, then the whole matter would be even more complicated. The corpse that was pulled up now was not that old man, which meant that it was still unknown whether the old man was dead or alive.
But last night, I clearly remember that it was that old man who we pulled out of the well. Now, it has suddenly become a village!
The most important person now was that old man! Dead or alive, we must find that old man.
"No matter how strange things are, we still have to find the old man from last night. Since this corpse isn't his, we'll just pretend that he's still alive until we see his corpse." Let's go back to the old man's house now and look everywhere we can in his house! I don't believe an old man can run there!”
When Second Brother heard me say this, he said,"But the key now is that we can't find that old man! If we could find the old man, we would have done so long ago!”
Blackie continued," Yeah, Brother Shuang. We looked for that old man this morning, but we couldn't find him even after searching his house!”
When I heard Hei Zi and Second Brother say this, I said,"No matter what, we have to find him. That old man is old and can't go down. We'll look for him in the village. I don't believe I can't find it!"
When Second Brother and Hei Zi heard how determined I was, they didn't say anything else. After we bury the village chief's body, we'll look for that old man in this small village!
If we search together, it will be too slow. It will probably be dark before we find the old man. Therefore, after discussing it, we decided to search separately. Hu Zi and Chen Qi will search together while the three of us will search separately in the village.
We've discussed this. Regardless of whether we find it or not, we must gather at the dry well before dark because we have to go down the mountain today. I don't want to stay in this strange village for another day!
Everyone spread out by the dry well, each of us walking in a direction. I walked along the small road to the north of the village.
It seemed that there was really no one in this village. I walked along the small road, but I couldn't hear anyone talking.
I saw a house in front of me, so I wanted to go in and take a look. The house looked very tall. The stone walls were blue tiles, and the main door was a dilapidated willow wood door. Although it looked a little shabby, compared to those houses that didn't even have a door, it looked much more imposing.
I stood in front of the door and knocked hard. No one opened the door after knocking for a long time. "Is anyone there?" I shouted. Is there anyone inside?"
However, no one came to open the door after shouting for a long time. It seemed that there was no one in the house. I was about to leave when I turned around and heard: Creak. The door behind him opened by itself.
I was shocked. The door actually opened by itself in broad daylight. My heart couldn't help but tremble. But thinking about it, I don't believe that I can see ghosts in broad daylight.
I comforted myself and walked into the courtyard of this family. When I came in, I saw that the door was locked and the paper windows were covered in dust. It seemed that this family had been gone for a long time.
When I saw this, I thought that since they had already left, there was no need for me to enter their house to take a look, so I turned around and came out again. But she just wouldn't let me go out.
Before I could walk out of the door, I heard the sound of a bottle falling to the ground. I heard it clearly. I turned around and walked to the window to listen carefully. Not long after, the sound of a bottle being smashed could be heard again.
My ear was pressed against the window, and I could hear it even more clearly. This time, I was sure that there was definitely something in this room. I just wanted to go in and see who was in the house.
But when I looked at the lock on the door, I had no idea. Now that the master was nowhere to be found, he locked the door to prevent outsiders from entering. It would be a little inappropriate for me to pry the lock in. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who steals chickens and dogs!
I'll just pretend that there are rats in the house, I comforted myself. Then, I turned around and left. But who would have thought that because I didn't go to this house, things would become even more complicated in the future! It was even more confusing!
After leaving, I continued to walk along the path. Every house they passed by had their doors locked. I think Hei Zi and 2nd brother will see the same thing as me. There is probably no one in Lakshmi Village now.
All of a sudden, I heard the voices of some men from behind the house in front of me. The voices were very soft and vague, but I could hear what they were saying.
I walked towards the source of the voice. After walking for a while, I confirmed that the sound came from the house in front of me.
I walked to the front of the house and shouted,"Is there anyone inside? I want to find an old man, is there anyone?”
After I shouted, the voice continued. No one paid attention to me.
I walked into the front of the house. I wanted to enter through the door, but the door was also locked. I had no choice but to climb up to the window and listen.
However, I leaned against the window and still couldn't hear what was being said inside. I kept thinking that there were clearly people talking inside, so why was the door locked? Was the person inside not human?
Thinking of this, my heart jumped again. I poked a hole in the window. I wanted to see if I really saw a ghost in broad daylight!
I looked into the room from the hole. It didn't matter if I didn't look, but when I saw it, I was almost scared half to death!
There were actually people sitting together in the room drinking. What was scary was not that they were drinking. It was the few people who were drinking. There were a few people sitting around the round table.
In the middle was the village, followed by Old Lady Liu and the old man from last night. There were two monsters sitting opposite them.
I've seen these two monsters before. They're the two little monsters that Uncle Chen asked us to see on the red undergarment! I broke out in a cold sweat as I watched them eat and laugh.
After taking a look, I thought of running! Hurry up and tell Second Brother and the others about this!
I took a glance and quietly retreated. My eyes were fixed on the house. As long as the people inside noticed me, I would run back as fast as I could.
Fortunately, when I left the courtyard, the people in the house didn't move. Once I left the courtyard, I ran away. I sprinted towards the dry well.
When I ran to the side of the dry well, I saw them waiting for me from afar. When they saw that I had run back, they all came to welcome me.
When we arrived, I panted and said,"There's really a ghost in this village. I actually saw Village Chief Ke just now!”
"What is it? Brother Shuang, you said you saw the village? How was that possible? We just buried the village!”Chen Qi said to me.
When Second Brother and Hu Zi heard me say that I saw the village chief, they were very surprised and asked me what was going on.
I told them that I saw the village chief and Old Lady Liu eating together. After listening to me, Hei Zi said,"Brother Shuang, are you seeing things? That village and Old Lady Liu were long dead! Why are we eating together?”
"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. There were two monsters sitting opposite them. They were the two monsters we saw on the red undergarment. Seeing them talking and laughing together, I really couldn't believe it!”I continued.
Second Brother saw that I didn't look like I was seeing things, so he said,"Xiao Shuang, where did you see this? Let's go over and take a look now. I don't believe it! You can see them in broad daylight!"
When I saw Second Brother say this, I replied,"Alright, let's go over and take a look. It's in a room in the north! Follow me!"
I led them through the small path and soon arrived in front of the house. I made a silent gesture. She whispered to Second Brother," They're in this house!”I pointed at the small hole in the window. It meant to tell Second Brother that he saw it from that hole.
We quietly moved to the window, and when we reached the window, we could hear vague voices. Second Brother climbed up the window and looked inside through the hole I had made. After a glance, Second Brother turned around. At this moment, we saw that Second Brother's head was covered in sweat.
Now everyone understands. It's the same as what I said.
Let's look at the door. The door was still locked. After Liu calmed down, he lifted his leg and kicked the door! This kick smashed the broken door into pieces!
When the door opened, the scene before us was completely different.
There was no Old Lady Liu and the others in the house, let alone any table of food and wine! The room was covered in a thick layer of dust, and some furniture was scattered messily. The roof was covered in cobwebs. There were also many signs of mold.
Seeing this scene, Second Brother and I were both stunned. We clearly saw the people in the room talking and laughing just now, but why is it like this when we open the door!
When I saw this scene in front of me, I said to Second Brother,"What's going on? We clearly saw them eating here just now!”
At this moment, Second Brother did not understand what was going on. Blackie and the others were also very surprised when they saw the situation in the room!
Hei Zi said to me,"Brother Shuang, looking at the house, I reckon that no one has lived in it for at least a few years!" Just like the other houses we saw!”
Hearing Blackie's words, I felt the same way. It was a mess. He looked at the dust on the ground. No matter what, he had to stay here for a few years before he would become like this.
No! It was completely wrong!
"Blackie, what did you just say? What do you mean by that?”I suddenly asked Blackie.
"Didn't we split up to look for that old man?" Hei Zi asked. I went into several houses and they were all like this! They had probably moved away for at least a few years!”
At this moment, Second Brother and Chen Qi said the same thing at the same time. They said that the houses they saw were all the same as they were now, and that they had probably not been inhabited for a few years.
After listening to their story, I was stunned. We only came to the village a month ago. At that time, there were still many people in the village, but now they say that there has been no one in the village for at least a few years!
Why? Could it be that we didn't come to Lakshmi Village before? Could it be that all the people we saw before were not humans?
I stood in the room in a daze, motionless. I was wondering what was going on. Second Brother and the others rummaged through the house, hoping to find some clues.
I was in a daze when Blackie woke me up with a sentence.
"Brother Shuang, come and see what this is!”
