Chapter 28: Valley Village (10) Qi Xiaokui’s whereabouts

Views:

Sensing Xin Meng's confused gaze, Xiong Jiabao looked back at him, his eyes showing dissatisfaction and annoyance, and whispered to Xin Meng, "These two bastards, I no longer regard them as friends! Comrade Lei Feng said that Well, you should treat your friends as warmly as spring and be loyal, but treat your enemies as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves! Hmph!"

Xin Meng's face was full of dark lines. She had wanted to say something just now, but she forgot about it due to the interruption.

Dong Xiu turned a blind eye to their noise and said coldly, "No matter what, please be careful! Don't let the villagers suspect us. This will further increase our risk index and cause completely unnecessary losses."

Thinking of the villagers' expressions and eerily quiet attitudes when they looked at the corpses, even Xiong Jiabao, who had always wanted to confront him, fell silent.

In fact, they are still very dangerous. After all, the time they appeared was too close to the time when people started to die in the village. The villagers definitely have reason to doubt them. The reason why no one raised it now is because they really didn't expect it or just didn't take it seriously. He directly questioned them in front of them, but discussed it behind their backs, so the strings in their minds were always tense and could not be relaxed for a moment.

The only one who was not affected was probably You Yi. This man seemed to always stay out of the situation, not participating in their discussions, nor expressing his opinions on their actions. He just followed them silently, or to be more precise, followed Xin Meng. , if he doesn't speak and deliberately lowers his sense of presence, sometimes people will even forget that there is such a teammate.

But once he spoke, no one dared to take it seriously. Just like now, when he decided to let Xin Meng and Xiong Jiabao switch places, Xiong Jiabao immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, with half a word. He didn't even dare to say anything, but he still tried to help Xin Meng get his backpack, but the bag was taken away by You Yi again, and Xiong Jiabao huddled up silently.

A group of people cautiously contacted the villagers. However, the strange thing was that the villagers really didn't seem to suspect them. Their attitude towards them was always the same, but their expressions were all confused, as if they were afraid of something, and this thing scared them. It seems that it has nothing to do with a few people.

"This is strange," Li Yougen wondered, "They don't really believe there are any water ghosts, do they?"

Xin Meng said, "I heard from a villager that a foreigner drowned in the reservoir before. I feel that the villagers reacted very indifferently to this incident, but this time the dead people all appeared in the reservoir. The villagers were the first to I immediately thought of the water ghost, could it have anything to do with that incident?"

"Could it be that that man was killed by the villagers, and now he has turned into a ghost to seek revenge, and the villagers are guilty and scared?" Xiong Jiabao made wild guesses.

Xin Meng thought about the reactions of the villagers and couldn't say that it was not possible. He simply went to the village chief to inquire.

"Are you asking about the man who drowned in the reservoir?" The village chief lit another cigarette. He had smoked nearly as much cigarettes in the past two days as he usually does in a year. "There's nothing to say. He just appeared suddenly. No one in the village knew her name or where she came from. When we found her, she was struggling in the reservoir. We were too late to rescue her, and she left without saying a word. "

"So the water ghost the villagers are talking about refers to him?" Xin Meng asked, "Is he a male or a female?"

"Female." The village chief blew out a smoke ring and recalled with squinted eyes, "The people in the village were kind, so they buried her on the mountain and set up a monument. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be... Why did she come to claim her life? Woolen cloth?"

No one can tell what happened. At least judging from the current situation, it must have something to do with the reservoir and the woman who drowned in the reservoir.

Xin Meng kept an eye out and went out to ask others. The results were similar to the village chief's. No one knew the woman's name. They only knew that she was young, had an ordinary face, and had long hair. She had straight hair, bangs, and was wearing dark blue clothes...

etc…

Xin Meng's eyes opened wider and wider, and she asked the person again in disbelief, and the person described it to him in more detail.

"No...how could this happen?" Xin Meng turned around and grabbed You Yi's hand fiercely, "It's not her, right?"

Why does this description look so...so like Qi Xiaokui

"It shouldn't be, how could it be her?" Xin Meng couldn't believe that the person who drowned was actually Qi Xiaokui? Is it Qi Xiaokui who turned into a ghost to find a substitute? Was it Qi Xiaokui who killed five enthusiastic and kind-hearted villagers? !

how so? !

He always thought that Qi Xiaokui was just hiding and didn't want to see them, but she must still be alive and well. How...how could...

Xin Meng was shocked and speechless by this sudden speculation. In the end, You Yi comforted him and pointed out the key point, "The time doesn't match up."

Yes... that's right, the time doesn't match!

Wasn't that man drowned last year? They hadn't entered the game last year. Although Qi Xiaokui died earlier than them, Xiong Jiabao, who died first, also came here at the same time as them and had not been there for two days. There was no way Qi Xiaokui could have preceded them. Come here for a year

Xin Meng breathed a sigh of relief, but felt unspeakably uneasy. He wanted to find Qi Xiaokui immediately to make sure that it was just his random thoughts, but so many people had just died in the village, and the villagers were very scared. This kind of It was never the right time to alert everyone to look for Qi Xiaokui, and just relying on them alone would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there was no telling how long it would take to find her unless she showed up on her own.

You Yi grabbed his arm, asked him to look at him, and comforted him with his eyes, "Don't scare yourself. If you can't find Qi Xiaokui, just go to the woman's grave first. Once you confirm the identity of the grave owner, you will know who it is." Not her."

Xin Meng calmed down and said, "Yes, let's go to the grave first."

Because they were afraid that the noise would disturb the villagers, they did not call Dong Xiu and the others. They searched along the mountain road alone. According to the information the village chief told them, they found a raised earth bag on the south side of the mountain, where a stone stood. A simple tombstone was made, with the words "Grave of the Unknown Woman."

Xin Meng: "..."

Although the name of the tombstone is embarrassing, it is indeed the place they are looking for.

This must be an area that must be visited to clear the game, because when he asked the village chief around the corner, the other party seemed to know his intention and told him the address directly, and the details were quite detailed, so Xin Meng had reason to think that , there is a 80% chance that this is a key location.

The dirt bag was bare, not even a root of grass grew. It looked lonely and extremely pitiful. Xin Meng walked around the grave and didn't find anything, but she saw You Yi taking out a folding shovel from his backpack and started... digging the grave.

Xin Meng hesitated for a moment, then pulled a branch and went to help. The two dug for a while, and the hole became bigger and bigger, gradually revealing a corner of the coffin inside.

"A stranger I didn't know died. Unexpectedly, the villagers not only helped bury him, but also prepared a coffin." Xin Meng said with emotion, "The people here are really simple."

You Yi was noncommittal, shoveled hard a few times, and the coffin was completely exposed.

The coffins used by the villagers are not very exquisite. They are all made of pure wood. The outside is not painted, but is roughly smoothed. There are occasionally burrs on the corners. At this time, when exposed to broad daylight, the light-colored wood grain It had long been covered with soil and turned into black spots.

Xin Meng always felt that there was something wrong with this coffin, but she couldn't explain it at the moment.

After looking around for a long time, he said hesitantly, "Isn't this coffin a little short?"

The average coffin for a normal person, even for a shorter woman, would be about 1.65 meters long. But the one in front of me is definitely not 1.6 meters long. Visually, it is at most 1.5 meters. It looks more like someone who died at an early age. The child's coffin.

You Yi didn't say anything, walked to the coffin, inserted a shovel into the side gap, and pried up the coffin lid with force. The lid slid open to the other side and fell to the ground, causing a burst of dust to reveal the dark interior.

Xin Meng took two steps forward and stretched her neck to see inside. However, when the contents of the coffin were revealed to the world, Xin Meng couldn't help but exclaimed!

The rotting corpse that was originally imagined did not appear at all, but was replaced by a pile of scattered white bones. The two black holes on the skull were directly facing Xin Meng, and there seemed to be an extremely sinister and vicious sight hidden inside. , just as he was about to choose someone to devour, he rushed towards him fiercely!

Xin Meng's scalp tightened, her heart beat violently, and she took a step back! But when he looked over again, that feeling had completely disappeared.

Was he hallucinating because he was too nervous

Xin Meng couldn't help but turn her head away, "Sure enough, he died a long time ago, and his body has turned into bones." But he still felt relieved.

In this case, this person cannot be Qi Xiaokui, at least the time is not right.

Very good.

But where did Qi Xiaokui go

In fact, Xin Meng has a good impression of the girl who was gloomy all day long but saved her at a critical moment. Although to the other party, it was just a helpless move because she didn't want to owe a favor, but in today's world, she can enjoy the care of others with peace of mind. There are too many people, and some people can’t even tell whether others have this obligation. They always feel that the whole world should revolve around them. For example, Dong Xiu and Li Yougen, no matter how you help them, they will feel that Of course, I won't give you half a cent of thanks. If you don't help, you will be cursed and complained about. In fact, including Xiong Jiabao, a mama's boy, they are all the same in nature, and someone like Qi Xiaokui is independent and self-reliant, and knows how to repay others' kindness and kindness. Aren’t people who help worthy of admiration

So Xin Meng didn't want anything to happen to Qi Xiaokui.

After closing the coffin lid, the two buried the coffin underground again. Xin Meng straightened up and sighed, "I didn't find anything."

He thought You Yi still wouldn't answer, but he didn't expect to hear You Yi say soon this time, "Yes."

Xin Meng was stunned and asked hurriedly: "What is it?"

You Yi took a deep look at him, and when Xin Meng looked at him eagerly, he said ruthlessly:

"Think for yourself."

Xin Meng: "...it would be better not to speak."
