The few clothes in the water basin were just soaked in hot water, and the blue fuel-like things on the clothes lingered in the water like traces of blood, spreading, and dyed the whole basin of water a light blue .

Huan Feng let the clothes soak in the water, took some more water, wiped Gu Zhoushan's face and hands, then closed the bathroom door, and took out two clean clothes.

After Gu Zhoushan changed into order, the two of them finally went out and came to the first floor.

Miao Rongrong looked at Gu Zhoushan who looked brand new and clean, and pursed her lips.

She is a girl, so she doesn't have that much trouble!

But Miao Rongrong also thought about this in her heart.

Early in the morning, I went out to the river outside the village for a trip back and forth, and with the delay in the middle, it was almost noon.

Miao Rongrong vaguely remembered the direction in which the proprietress of the hostel left, so she hurriedly led the two of them to observe carefully while following.

The village is still a desolate scene.

The biggest main road in the village that they all took before, all the way from the entrance of the village to this hotel that seems to have a good business, but it feels that there are few people and it is depressed.

Walking on the small road now, or this can no longer be called a road, the dead leaves all over the ground have not been cleaned, and the fluffy piles are piled up high. , for fear of stepping on the air and falling into the ground on both sides.

The place where the village head lived was easier to find than expected. The other houses were dark and silent. Only the place where the village head lived was not only lit, but also the voice of the proprietress could be heard.

Miao Rongrong rushed up and knocked on the door, then pushed open the half-closed door.

The village head and proprietress who were talking suddenly stopped their movements, turned their heads in unison, and looked at the door.

Gu Zhoushan, who had just stepped on the steps of the door, was also startled, frozen in place by the coldness in the eyes of the village chief, and did not dare to move.

Miao Rongrong forced a smile on her face, and saw the village chief walking over, expressionless on her wrinkled face, and a pair of eyes that were particularly deep due to aging, indifferent and faintly angry.

"Who are you?" The village chief stood at the door, just in the shadow of the sun covered by the door frame, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

Seeing the village chief's unfriendly appearance, Miao Rongrong didn't know whether she should tell the story by herself, so she hesitated.

Gu Zhoushan thought that Miao Rongrong was a little afraid of this serious old village chief, so he quickly stood on the steps and took the initiative to talk about their reason for coming.

Before listening to a few words, the village head interrupted Gu Zhoushan's words.

He finally stepped out of the threshold, took a closer look at Gu Zhoushan and the tall Huanfeng behind him in the slightly brighter light, and then turned his head and walked back into the house.

The old village chief's mood seemed much calmer than before: "Come in."

It doesn't look like this house from the outside, but the decoration inside is more majestic and majestic, quite like a cadre.

Maybe it's because there is no extra office space, or because of convenience, there are a few formal desks, chairs and benches on the first floor of this house, and some resumes are pasted on the wall, so it can barely be used as an office.

The old village head walked to the innermost table and sat back in his previous position.

The proprietress standing aside didn't smile until all of them stepped into the room: "Just now I told the village chief about you, if you didn't go to the river, we wouldn't know that the bridge was destroyed. The swollen river has washed away, what can we do now?"

Gu Zhoushan smiled awkwardly, thinking, if I knew what to do, I would never come back to you, and I would have left this ghost place long ago.

"Sit." The village chief motioned to Gu Zhoushan and Huanfeng for the two benches next to him.

Gu Zhoushan looked at the proprietress who had been standing on the side and Miao Rongrong who had no other seats to sit, scratched his head, and did not sit down.

Because he felt that the village head was not very friendly to Miao Rongrong, Gu Zhoushan could only say to himself: "We came this time to ask the village head, is there any other way to leave the village besides the bridge? Also, where we live, there is, um, an old man with a bad temper, and she seems to be related to a person named Zhang Danying. I wonder who this Zhang Danying is?"

He struggled for a while, but did not say the four words crazy to describe the old lady.

If the relationship between the old village head and the old lady is not bad, if the words are wrong, the result may be different.

Fortunately, the head of Hushui Village seemed to have been dissatisfied with that old lady Cui for a long time, he snorted: "You are talking about that crazy woman, right? Why, what happened to her again? "

Gu Zhoushan briefly talked about the previous dispute between Mrs. Cui and Zhou You.

The old village chief was silent for a while, then sighed: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, that old lady Cui at the head of the village has long gone crazy."

"What do you mean?" Miao Rongrong asked habitually.

But the old village head closed his mouth again and gave her a hard look.

The proprietress at the side walked up to her, patted her hand and said anxiously: "You girl, the elders are talking, why do you interrupt. Just listen obediently!"

ha?

What kind of old feudal thinking is this?

Miao Rongrong was pulled far away with an inexplicable expression on her face.

The two women in the house had gone away, and the old village chief's expression softened again.The old village head who faced Gu Zhoushan and Huanfeng was completely different from him who faced Miao Rongrong.

"Zhang Danying..." The old village chief sighed, and finally got to the point, "In fact, she is Mrs. Cui's daughter-in-law."

"She still has a son?" Gu Zhoushan was a little surprised.

After all, when the proprietress and Mrs. Cui scolded each other, the proprietress said that she was a loner and lived alone in this remote village.

However, did that old lady Cui have a son and a daughter-in-law?

The old village chief snorted and looked very unhappy: "Her son, it's almost as if she didn't have one. He left the village 30 years ago, and he hasn't heard from him for so many years."

"But that's what Mrs. Cui did to herself. Thirty years ago, she disliked that her daughter-in-law couldn't have children, and she kept running away, showing her face and busying herself with her own...'career'. This Mrs. Cui , I feel that this daughter-in-law is restless and stealing men outside."

Speaking of this place, the old village chief seemed to be lost in memory and stopped.

Gu Zhoushan listened carefully, and quickly asked: "Then what happened next?"

"Later..." The old village head pondered for a while, quickly skipped the middle process, and only talked about the ending, "Mrs. Cui said that her daughter-in-law stole a man and couldn't take it, so she sank her into the water .So her son also left the village and never came back.”

Gu Zhoushan frowned: "You mean, Zhang Danying is dead?"

This must be 30 years ago, right?

Mrs. Cui's daughter-in-law, Zhang Danying, died 30 years ago, so she must not be Zhou You's mother.

Are the names and looks of the two of them really just a coincidence?

"This all happened 30 years ago." The old village head shook his head, "Since then, Mrs. Cui has become crazy. Because there were several accidents in the village, she felt that Zhang Danying died with regret , came to seek her revenge. After that, she invited many Taoist priests to do it, and even listened to the sorcerer's words, and did something with the blood of Zhang Danying's relatives... Anyway, it's useless at all, it's just nonsense!" The old village head Speaking of the past, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Gu Zhoushan was concerned about other things.

According to the village chief, Mrs. Cui, 30 years ago, invited many Taoist priests to do it?

So those old and broken talisman papers in the pile of dead leaves by the river are the things left over from these rituals?

So the river behind the village is the one that drowned Mrs. Cui's daughter-in-law, Zhang Danying, who was also called Zhang Danying?

So, what is the thing made with her relatives' blood for?

Gu Zhoushan took advantage of the time when the old man talked dry and drank his saliva, and hurriedly asked a question.

"Those things are just messy things made by people who talk about gods and gods. They say they can suppress the spirits of evil spirits. I think they are all nonsense. I remember that they were buried by the river, but there was no one in that place for a long time. I've been there." The old village head waved his hand, his face was unhappy, as if he didn't want to talk about these things.

He finally finished telling the story of 30 years ago, looked at Gu Zhoushan and Huanfeng, and said some comforting words: "Don't be afraid of that crazy woman making trouble, I will talk to her in a while. If it's a long story, she still has to listen to it."

Gu Zhoushan nodded: "Then I would like to thank the village chief."

"As for the road to leave the village... Hushui Village used to have a road, but that road is now abandoned. There used to be a village on the opposite side, but now because of the inconvenient transportation, all the people in it have moved away, and it has become a dead city. "

The village chief thought for a while and continued: "Well, I'll contact the outside, and when the tide recedes, I can build a bridge again, so as to ensure that your trip will not be delayed. For these two days, you should stay in the village well, Stop running around."

Gu Zhoushan replied superficially, but he was already thinking in his heart that he would go to the riverside in a while to look for that thing that was said to be buried by the riverside.

……

Like the river beside the shoal behind the village, it has risen much higher than before, maybe it also had a high tide a while ago, which washed away all the dead branches and rotten leaves around, and even the land can be clearly seen. .

However, the river at this time seemed quite calm.

"What is that?" Ma Yanran, who had just walked nearby, saw a piece of bare land beside the river, which was different from other places.

Tao Long stood in the distance, squinted his eyes for a few seconds, then gave Su Qian a look.

The author has something to say: Gu Zhoushan: Stop it!That's me!
