But again, the gambling ghost Su said that. What else can I say, so I had to endure the doubts in my heart and didn't say anything, so I sat there, motionless.
After waiting for about two minutes, Guo Zhen walked back with an empty basin.
This time, when he passed by me, he walked straight over without speaking.
This made me depressed. I didn't know what to say to him, so I felt that sitting here was totally unnecessary. After all, the head of the family said, don't let me investigate the cause of death.
No, it looked like after sitting for five or six minutes. Guo Zhen and Guo Zhen were busy with various things, and they regarded me and the gambling ghost Su as air.
Whenever I wanted to get close to the bed, Guo Zhen would stop me for the first time.
In desperation, I had no choice but to say goodbye. As for the death of the old village chief, I was really helpless.
However, the gambler Su didn't think so, he kept whispering in his ear, saying that he had to let me take a look at the old village chief's body anyway.
At this point, I was very depressed, but I couldn't say anything, I could only sit patiently at the old village chief's house for half an hour.
For me, this half an hour was really like sitting on pins and needles. In the end, I really didn't want to delay time here, and ignored the gambler Su's persuasion. I walked towards the door.
When I walked to the door, Guo Zhen suddenly spoke. He said, "Wait a minute."
I stopped and turned my head to look at Guo Zhen. He held a notebook in his hand. The notebook looked quite old and slightly yellowed.
"Something else?"
I subconsciously asked.
He didn't speak either, and threw the little book in his hand towards me.
I took the book, and before I had time to open it, I heard Guo Zhen talking again. He said: "You can know it alone. If you let the second person know, you will be retributed."
When he said this, his tone was extremely hoarse, with a hint of anger in it.
Seeing this, I didn't say anything, I said quietly, and walked outside with my notebook, and the gambler Su also followed.
On the way, according to the gambling ghost Su's meaning, let me sit at his house.
To be honest, I want to go. After all, I came to the sirloin village this time because of Su Xiaoman, but considering that the gambler Su is a member of the four great families, I refused.
The reason is simple, I am afraid that his status will affect my consideration.
At the moment, I immediately rejected his proposal and walked towards the house of the village chief.
The gambler Su wanted to follow up, I waved the notebook in my hand, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, the owner said, the second person can't let the second person know about the things on this notebook."
The gambling ghost Su heard what I said, hit a haha, didn't say anything, and parted ways with me.
Back to the village chief’s house, the village chief seemed to have gone to the old village chief’s house. There was only one child left in the house. I went straight to the bedroom, locked the door again, and opened the book to read it.
The fonts written in this book are traditional Chinese characters. Fortunately, I learned to type solidly. I know all the characters in this book.
However, what makes me wonder is that I turned seven or eight pages. The things recorded in this book are all trivial things in life. There is no mention of the four gates, let alone the cause of death of the old village chief. .
It's weird, it's just an ordinary notebook. Why did Guo Zhen give me this
I murmured, I didn't bother to turn to the previous page, and turned straight to the last page, and I saw a date, 2003, December 30, sunny.
I wiped my eyes fiercely, December 30, isn't it today
At the moment, I immediately looked down.
"The old man knows that he hates me, and he also knows that he wants to kill the old man to relieve his anger, but he is too old and does not want to tarnish his hands, to hang himself to relieve his hatred, and hope that he can let go of his family. , May there be no more hatred in the world, the best writing."
With a few simple lines, I read it three times in a daze, only one thought in my heart, did the old village chief really commit suicide
But, that's not right. The old village chief said that he was hanging himself, but to explain it literally, he should hang himself by hanging himself.
However, the old scholar cut his throat with a dagger.
This is inconsistent with the self-hanging mentioned above!
It's okay not to think about this. When I think about this, I become more and more confused. Logically speaking, Guo Zhen must have read this diary. In other words, he should also know the difference between self-hanging and dagger.
So here comes the problem.
Since Guo Zhen has read this diary and knows the difference between self-hanging and daggers, why is he still reluctant to let me check the body of the old village chief.
Without any hesitation, I immediately turned to the previous page of the book.
It says, 2003, December 29th, sunny.
"Last night, the old man had a dream. He dreamed that the flood had reached the gate of heaven. On top of the gate, there were four gates. They are coming and coming for revenge. This disaster will happen again in the sirloin village 20 years ago. , The debts of those years should be paid."
Looking at this page, I frowned and turned to the front. The date on this page was February 13, 2003. It recorded some family trivial matters, and there was no news about the Four Doors.
This hooked out my curiosity, and I flipped through several pictures in a row. To my disappointment, the records above are still some trivial life.
According to my idea, I immediately turned it over to 20 years ago, but since the old village chief did not write a diary every day, it was extremely difficult to turn it over.
It looks like I have turned over 30 pages, and even the date is gone. It is really hard to find the news 20 years ago.
In the end, there was really no way, I had to turn page by page.
Just like that, after turning over it for a long time, the first sentence at the beginning of this piece of paper caught my attention.
The above said: "The old man met a benefactor in his life today, his name is Peng Yumen, this young man has good skills."
There is no further down.
I quickly turned a page back, and there were only four words on this page, which was tragic.
Flipping forward is another trivial matter of life.
Hell, judging from the brief content of this page, it should be a record of events that happened 20 years ago.
However, the above only used four words to describe the tragic life, and did not write much.
This is not right. With the old village chief’s habit of writing diaries, he should write down the whole process of the whole thing.
With this kind of doubt, I kept turning a few pages. To my disappointment, the records were all trivial matters of life, except that those two pages remembered a little.
At the moment, I kept flipping through those two pages.
If you guessed it correctly, the old village chief's Peng Yumen mentioned above should be Captain Peng's father, and the tragic life written on the second page should describe what happened 20 years ago. (End of this chapter)
