After the retired judge enters the escape game

The tractor used to pick them up the mountain before the eleventh was parked by the roadside at the gate.

The homestay is not very far from the village, so there is no need to drive a tractor. It seems that something was transported to the village on the eleventh just now.

In addition to Xiao Deng's handling and the fact that only the suitcase was left under the platform, Qi Wuguo naturally came to the inference that nine out of ten of the things transported were Xiao Li.

"I remember, you said earlier that there was hair in this tractor."

Duan Li nodded slightly, knowing what Qi Wuguo meant.

Anyway, with Eleven's permission, Qi Wuguo was naturally not worried about touching any strange taboos in the homestay.

He found a broken branch from the side, jumped on the tractor and started turning the layer of straw inside.

Seeing this, Duan Li was about to come up to help, but Qi Wuguo waved his hand.

"I'm here, aren't you a mild clean freak?"

Duan Li originally wanted to say that it would be fine and bearable.For some reason, when he saw Qi Wuguo frowning and determined not to let him go up, he naturally stopped in his tracks.

I don't know how long the layer of straw in the tractor dump has accumulated.The layer of straw on the top is still fluffy and fresh, but the bottom is almost rotten and black.

The tightly pressed rotten straw was mixed with what looked like animal feces, and the entire tractor gave off an extremely unpleasant smell.

Under the impact of this strong breath, Qi Wuguo felt that his sense of smell was about to fail, let alone smell some suspicious bloody smell.

Qi Wuguo took out a napkin from his trousers pocket and rubbed out two small lumps, then stuffed the tissue up his nose completely disregarding his personal image.

Duan Li was standing behind him, which was the upper air outlet. Due to Qi Wuguo's insistence, the distance was three or four meters.

Qi Wuguo's small movements were completely invisible from his direction, so when the other party turned around, the corner of Duan Li's mouth twitched slightly, using strong self-control to control himself from laughing out loud.

"Did you smell any blood?"

Qi Wuguo didn't realize it, and asked in a low voice.

Duan Li walked a few steps closer, then frowned and turned his face sideways.

After the straws that were pressed down in the bucket were turned over, the indescribable smell inside became more intense, somewhat exceeding the limit that Duan Li could bear.

Seeing this, Qi Wuguo handed over the remaining half of the tissue: "Do you want it?"

Duan Li said: "No, no need."

After finishing speaking, he walked back silently, and did not accept Qi Wuguo's tissue.

Qi Wuguo smiled and said, "You really care about your image. We are both big men, so there is no need. When you are in front of the girl you like, it's not bad to care more about your image."

Duan Li glanced at him and said, "Did you find anything?"

Qi Wuguo said: "Wait, it will be ready soon."

In this stinky environment, Qi Wuguo really couldn't concentrate on identifying the contents inside, so he opened it directly, took a few photos and jumped off the tractor.

Qi Wuguo's role in the game is a senior traveling friend, and his mobile phone is a flagship model for taking pictures, and the effect is very good.

After the two were far away from the range of the tractor, they clicked on the photo to zoom in and take a closer look.

"It looks like pig manure, plus the pigs from the previous two days... that's right."

Duan Li clicked on a part of the photo: "This should be Xiao Li's hair."

Qi Wuguo knew the reason for Duan Li's certainty at a glance. The hair color at the end of that handful of hair was very light, the same as Xiao Li's.

At this moment, the sound of suona came from the village. Qi Wuguo listened carefully for a while, thinking that something important must have happened.

Suona is a musical instrument that can be played from birth to the first seven. Judging from the current tune, it seems to be sending people through the last journey of life.

Qi Wuguo looked at Duan Li and said, "Do you remember Shi Menghui said that there are no graves in this village?"

Duan Li said: "Do you want to see how this Paradise Village handles corpses?"

Qi Wuguo nodded: "I always feel that the death of employee Xiao Li may be related to these customs in the village."

The two listened to the sound all the way to find the past.

It just so happened that they just came out of a small road, and they happened to meet villagers coming out of a house in a whistling way.

In front are the villagers playing the suona, and behind them are several villagers carrying the dead.It's just that the way they treat the dead seems a bit shabby.

It was just a simple bed board, rolled up with straw mats, and it looked like a dead body was placed inside.

Qi Wuguo quickly thought of the straws entangled with human hair in the tractor dump.It is the custom of this village to use straw rolls as shrouds?

He and Duan Li followed the funeral procession in the village and walked all the way to the village's Xiangshaiping.

Those villagers put the bed boards under the big banyan tree in front of the village, and then dispersed one after another, leaving only one villager in place, who should be guarding the corpse.

It just so happened that the villager guarding the corpse was the same villager who was questioned by Qi Wuguo in the cellar at that time.

Qi Wuguo glanced at Duan Li and said, "Do you know that there is a truth in the game."

Duan Li cooperated very much and asked, "What?"

"When pulling wool, you have to catch a sheep and pull it hard."

"..."

But it is daytime now, the vision is very good, and the villagers seem to be quite vigilant, it should be impossible to sneak attack the other party like last time.

Qi Wuguo weighed his own strength, and felt that he would not be able to beat the villagers who had been doing farm work all year round in a head-to-head confrontation.

That being the case, they had to seek foreign aid.

Qi Wuguo landed on Duan Li with flickering eyes, and said, "From the current situation, sneak attack is impossible, we can only confront it head-on, just watch..."

Duan Li took a deep look at him, noncommittal, but went directly to the bottom of the big banyan tree.

Qi Wuguo looked at the back of the other party, and felt that it was really great to have a friend like Duan Li.Advancing, attacking, retreating, and defending, and also very careful, it is indeed the omnipotent Doraemon.

But a few minutes later, the poor villager was once again restrained under the big banyan tree.

Qi Wuguo walked over against the angry eyes of the villagers, the closer he got, the more he felt that the other party looked like he wanted to pounce on him and bite him a few times.

About one meter away from the villagers, Qi Wuguo stopped, and he looked at the villagers whose hands and feet were bound by Duan Li.

This time I also used local materials, and the hemp ropes came from the ones that were tied to the bed boards to fix them.

Qi Wuguo squatted down, and decided to get the other party's understanding before saying: "Actually, I am a temporary employee of the hotel. If you don't believe me, you can ask Eleven."

The villagers looked him up and down, their expressions softened slightly, and then they said, "I know, I told you on November [-] this morning that a newcomer is here."

Qi Wuguo was about to say something to make the villagers have a deeper sense of identity with him, but he saw a smile on his face.

The altitude of Paradise Village is high, and the ultraviolet rays are strong. The skin of the villagers who often live here is naturally dark and rough under the perennial ultraviolet rays.

In addition, in the past few days, the villagers Qi Wuguo and the others have seen always have a blank face, and the smile in front of them looks extremely strange.

His skin was smiling, but his muscles didn't seem to cooperate well, and his whole face showed a sense of horror of separation of skin and flesh.

In short, it's a superficial smile.

"Welcome to Paradise Village, you'll love it."

Qi Wuguo didn't care about this horrified smile, and just climbed straight: "I have known the name of Tiantang Village for a long time, and I really want to blend in with you. In order to avoid annoying opportunities, I just want to know about the customs in your village."

"I have traveled to many places, and I know that the one that best reflects the local customs is the wedding, and the other is the funeral, but there is still work to be done at the homestay. Can you tell me when the funeral will start?"

The villagers seemed to have completely believed what Qi Wuguo said, and they answered all the questions: "Twelve o'clock in the evening, the time when the old and the new alternate, are the most suitable."

Qi Wuguo patted the villagers on the shoulder, and said: "Since I am already a temporary employee of the hotel, I can also be regarded as an unofficial member of the village. If there are any problems in the future, we can communicate more."

The expression on the villagers' faces became a little subtle, just like the one that appeared on Eleven's face.

It wasn't until Duan Li untied the rope that the villagers came back to their senses.

He stood up and said, "The same goes for other villagers, you can ask them if you don't understand."

After finishing speaking, before Qi Wuguo could speak again, he left in embarrassment.

Qi Wuguo watched the villagers trot all the way back to the village, and after a while, he looked back at the corpse wrapped in straw rolls.

"Well, he doesn't care about this corpse? It's too irresponsible."

Duan Li said: "In this place, there is no risk of the corpse being stolen."

Qi Wuguo looked up at the huge hornet's nest, and said: "That's not the case. What if a brat runs out of nowhere and stabs the hornet's nest, it looks like it just landed on the corpse. Disrespect to the dead."

When Duan Li heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that no child has been seen in this village."

The fog in Qi Wuguo's heart was largely dispelled by Duan Li's words, he continued: "Not only are there no children, but there are also no old people, this is not right."

Thinking of this, he went straight to the front and opened the straw roll.

Sure enough, the body inside was that of a young man.

Qi Wuguo untied the rope trapped on the straw roll, and the whole body was exposed like this.

From the appearance of the corpse, it doesn't look like it has been traumatized, and it is not known what caused the death.

Now it seems that if they continue to stay in this place, they will not get any more clues, so the two restored the straw roll to its original state, and then returned to the hotel.
