I looked at Qinhuai's contemptuous eyes, and my heart twitched for a while. I wanted to push this kid to the ground and beat him up, but that also seemed like I was too shameless. I had no choice but to look at Master and listen to what Master would say next. I hope that kid Qinhuai doesn't get it right.
Master didn't notice my little emotions, and just sighed that this Wuliangye is good.
Qinhuai immediately squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, I stole my grandfather's things to honor you."
My master was very satisfied and said with a wave of his hand: "Qinhuai knows how to cause trouble. He is much better than a piece of wood like Chengyi! Qinhuai is right. People's hearts must be stable. Some things are not good for the people even if they know them." Well, let them live a happy and peaceful life. This is indeed not a plague."
My face turned green and red, and I looked at Yang Qinhuai angrily. The boy yelled very proudly: "On the gray track, there are far-reaching water shadows..."
This kid is crazy about Beyond. He couldn't help but yell when he was proud. After yelling, he looked at me: "Brother, the latest cassette, the song just now is good, right? Don't be angry with me. I'll give you this cassette. I'll give it to you again." Go get a box."
When I heard it, I couldn't bear it. I was also very obsessed with Beyond at that time. Unfortunately, I didn't have as many channels as Yang Qinhuai, so I could always get the latest original cassettes as soon as possible.
Yang Qinhuai whistled proudly, hugged me and said, "Brother, who among us is following whom?"
My master glanced at the two of us with a puzzled look and said: "What's the point of singing? It's a ghost crying and a wolf howling. It's better to listen to a Peking Opera."
After a while of fussing, I said, "Master, why are you going around in such a big circle? Why don't you tell me?"
My master pondered for a while and then said: "There is a story here. In fact, all the people in one village died in the ancestral hall. The other three villages all moved away because they were afraid because they were close to it. . Later, the relevant departments came forward to eliminate the impact. It was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there were some plagues. Later, the impact was eliminated, and it was forgotten. This time, because of road construction, the matter was brought up again. .”
"Is there any connection between road construction and deserted villages?" Yang Qinhuai asked impatiently. He is a person who likes to hunt for novelties.
"Originally we didn't contact him, but this time it involved a key matter, so we contacted him." My master's expression began to become serious.
I also became serious, knowing that things were not simple.
"Why are we connected?" Yang Qinhuai asked impatiently.
"Because the culprit who killed the entire village was not found that year, and there were still many things to deal with across the country. I thought that area had become a deserted village and there should be no more casualties, so forget it. But now we are building roads. , we must go to that area to search, catch the murderer, and destroy him, that's it." The master said seriously.
"Where did the murderer come from? Killing a villager? I said Mr. Jiang, it has been more than 30 years, can you find him? Capture an old man? And then our department has to take action?" Yang Qinhuai's face Somewhat pale.
You may be like me, the thought of killing an entire village by one person is simply unbelievable! To be precise, I have been educated in metaphysics since I was a child, and I don’t think ghosts are scarier than humans. This kind of inhumane murderer is the most terrifying thing.
My master held the wine glass and remained silent. After a long time, he put down the wine glass, took out a cigarette and lit it. This old man Jiang didn't have any rules. He loved to smoke cigarettes in the box, and no one could control him.
As the smoke rose, Yang Qinhuai and I were almost driven crazy by curiosity, and the old man said: "There is a story here, told by the people from the neighboring village who moved away. You know, the neighboring village , because of the marriage relationship, there are always a lot of relatives. Before the incident, the villagers in that village once said this! At that time, everyone who could leave left, and those who could not leave were because they did not believe in evil and wanted to fight. There are some who really don’t want to leave the land where their ancestors have lived for generations and want to have a fight.”
"The result was that they were all killed? The murderer had practiced the Nine Yin Manual?" Yang Qinhuai took a breath. He was like Surou and loved reading martial arts novels. Anyway, the Nine Yin Manual In that kid's eyes, it was the most powerful martial arts.
Only I know how nonsense it is to fly over the wall and cross the river in one leaf. Martial arts is not that big of a deal. There are no martial arts masters who can kill everyone under siege by hundreds of people! This is impossible!
Therefore, I already have a feeling that this was not done by humans.
My master took out a puff of smoke, looked at Yang Qinhuai and said: "There are no martial arts masters, and there is no "Nine Yin Manual". I was also involved in what happened that year. I guess that scene is the most I have ever seen in my life." It’s one of the most horrific scenes that I don’t want to recall, with broken limbs and pieces of meat everywhere, and no one who was in the ancestral hall that night survived.”
Yang Qinhuai and I both tried to imagine the scene. Generally, many villages in the countryside have ancestral halls for ancestor memorials. The house is not big, and with the yard, it is estimated that a hundred people can be squeezed into it.
But hundreds of people died in the ancestral hall, and the scene... was no different from a slaughterhouse!
"After that night, the people in the next village were worried about their relatives. The next day, taking advantage of the good weather, they took a dozen people to the village to look for someone. As a result, the dozen people saw the scene and were arrested on the spot. I was scared to death! This is no exaggeration! Later, we did an investigation and managed to piece together the entire incident. We also searched the entire area but could not find the murderer. At that time, we had another crisis to deal with. We..." Master said with some seriousness.
Yang Qinhuai slapped the table and said, "I know what you did. You deliberately let the legend spread, and you were not in a hurry to deny it. You even encouraged the people nearby to move away, and then you started to eliminate the impact, right?"
My master looked at Yang Qinhuai in surprise and said, "Okay, boy! How did you know?"
"Haha, this, concession, concession." Yang Qinhuai cupped his fists and bowed before saying, "This is very simple. How could the plague make those stubborn villagers leave the land they have cultivated for generations? There must be something more terrifying. You haven't found the murderer, you have urgent matters to deal with, and of course you are afraid that the murder will happen again. The best way is to let them go. This is not a problem for me."
"Heh, it seems that your kid didn't have a grandfather and father who were officials in vain. He still learned some skills. Well, I used to think that you were unlearned and incompetent." My master smiled happily. Speaking of.
Yang Qinhuai is embarrassed. Others say he is a gangster, a stubborn person, and uneducated. But he is quite happy. As soon as he is praised, he behaves like this. It is no wonder that he is being disrespectful. I'm used to scolding, but it's not enough if I don't scold.
My heart was lifted by this story. I didn't want to see Yang Qinhuai being as shy as a big girl there, so I asked Master: "Master, please tell me more specifically. You see I'm so anxious. What about the murderer?" Who is it?"
My master, perhaps confused by the rising smoke, squinted his eyes and said, "That area has been famous as a place for raising corpses since ancient times. There have been many zombies since ancient times, but the specific reason is not known. .”
"Master, I said the murderer, who is the murderer?" I was so anxious that I couldn't bear it.
"Oh, old village chief!" the master said calmly.
"Old village chief?" Qinhuai and I exclaimed at the same time. Is the village chief still killing people in this village? Kill the whole village at once? Isn’t this world too crazy
"Yes, the murderer is the village chief of that village, a highly respected old village chief." The master had calmed down at this moment. He had finished smoking a pipe of dry cigarette, and he knocked on the pot. Compared to the fuss made by Qinhuai and me , he was very calm.
"Master, are you mistaken? A village chief, well, regardless of his identity, how could an old man kill all the people in the village? That's nonsense, right?" I was very disappointed. It turned out that a village chief did it. Yes? I had already judged that this was definitely not a human category, but just now Master mentioned a place to raise corpses
"I know!" Qinhuai slammed the table and shouted: "If we want to kill all the people in the village, we can only poison the well water!"
Qinhuai's idea is good. It is true that we can only do this by poisoning the well water, but I thought of another possibility: "No, what about poisoning? Didn't you listen to my master? At the scene It’s so bloody, it’s obviously a fight! If you’re poisoned, don’t they all die silently?”
My master glanced at us and said: "Chengyi is not stupid after all. He poisoned the well water? Qinhuai, you are afraid you have read too many novels? How much weight does it take to make the well water poisonous enough to kill you?" Is it toxic to humans? Just say that the amount is enough. The water has already changed its taste. Do you think it is as described in real novels, colorless and odorless? Such poison is very rare. Where can ordinary people get it? Arrive?"
"Master, we know, you'd better tell me quickly." I was anxious.
"I said, that is a place to raise corpses." The master said calmly.
