Chapter 71: Horror Serial (70) Zhou's Daughter
The girl from the Zhou family did not come back last night. When the two elders of the Zhou family were ill again, they ran around the streets, so they asked the neighbor next door to help find someone. According to the past, it would take not much time to catch the girl in the chicken pantry or someone's small orchard, but this time, there was no one left.
Daqi said that the girl was found early in the morning. She was on the path at the entrance of the back mountain, heading towards the village, and lying on the ground with her face down. When the girl from the Zhou family was found, she had lost her breath and her body was stiff. I don’t know how long she had been dead. Daqi approached Mo Chen and said in a low voice, "I just squeezed in and took a look, and my eyes were almost bulging out. I want me to say, I was so scared that I didn’t run away!"
"Scareless?"
A madman ran into the back mountain by chance. What kind of scene would he see that scared her to death? Mo Chen murmured in his heart.
The villagers were busy entering and leaving the Zhou family's yard. The old woman with white hair knelt on the ground and cried hysterically. The scene of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man was so uncomfortable when the chief teacher looked at it. Fan Tong touched Mo Chen, "It's okay for us, let's go back!"
Mo Chen nodded. There are too many pitiful people in the world. Even if they hold a sympathy, they can't help much, and it's just a little sadness.
Just as Mo Chen and his men turned around and were about to leave, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd. Then, the noisy sound became even more exciting. Mo Chen and his men looked at the Zhou family's yard curiously, and saw the old woman who had just cried and wiped her face and hurriedly laying up from the ground. Her face was no longer the sadness she had just now, but became panicked.
Some of the villagers who were helping in the Zhou family courtyard greeted him and ran out hurriedly. After a while, a gray-haired old man was brought in. Although the old man was a little older, there was a majesty in his eyebrows that could not be provoked. Sure enough, as soon as the old man stepped into the courtyard, Mo Chen heard the villagers shouting "Village Chief."
Liu Yan was also rushing over with the village chief. Because of the distance, Mo Chen couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about. He only looked at the expressions on each of their faces. Mo Chen speculated that it might be that the girl from the Zhou family who died strangely.
Liu Yan talked with the village chief for a while, and then saw the village chief sending onlookers to disperse one after another. If there is anything, he would summon everyone to come.
The characteristic of people's love to watch the fun is not just the customs of any place, and Yongming Village was not spared. If it weren't for the end that the village chief was about to get angry, the villagers who moved outside the courtyard to continue to "gossip" would probably still have to stay there.
When the people watching the fun were almost gone, they reported the message to the young man who was the village chief. When they reached the door, they raised their hand and wanted to close the gate of the courtyard. Fan Tong hurriedly took two steps, slapped the door with one hand, and shouted "Uncle!" at Liu Yan in the courtyard.
Fan Tong was anxious to go back just now, why did she suddenly change her mind? Mo Chen walked up. When Fan Tong looked back at him, she winked at the yard. Mo Chen glanced suspiciously at the yard, and saw a corpse covered with white cloth on the ground, with one arm exposed. The pale and blood-colored hand was wearing a ring!!
Hearing Fan Tong's voice, Liu Yan and the village chief looked here one after another. Fan Tong acted and wanted to go over to talk to Liu Yan, while the young man was blocking the door. However, he turned around from time to time and asked the village chief in the courtyard.
Liu Yan lie in the village chief's ear and muttered. Mo Chen saw that during this period, the village chief's brows suddenly frowned, and then his searching eyes turned to them at the door. After Liu Yan finished speaking, the village chief coughed dryly and said to the young man at the door, "Let them come in!"
"Uncle~" Fan Tong ran in first and came to Liu Yan's side. It seemed that the little girl's spoiled nature was, but in fact, this distance allowed her to see the ring worn on the corpse's hand more clearly.
Fan Tong pretended to be surprised and asked Liu Yan in a low voice, "How could she...?"
"Shh!" Liu Yan immediately made a ban on voice, then looked at the village chief again. Fortunately, the village chief turned his back to them at this time and did not care about Fan Tong.
The village chief squatted on the ground with a serious expression and gently lifted the white cloth covering the corpse's face. Mo Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although Mo Chen, the daughter of the Zhou family, had never seen her, she could never escape the face of an ordinary person with a nose and two eyes.
But who knew that when the white cloth was lifted, the exposed face was covered with white hair on both sides of the cheeks, which was like Christmas, cosplaying Santa Claus.
However, the death of the Zhou family daughter is far less kind than Santa Claus. As Daqi said, the Zhou family girl stared in horror, as if she had seen an extremely terrifying scene before her death.
The old woman who was kneeling on the ground and wailing, stood aside at this moment, as if she was a mistake, waiting for her boss's punishment. Another white-haired old man was beside the old woman, smoking a smoke. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, she thought she should be the father of the dead body.
"Old Liu, what should we do now?" The village chief covered the white cloth again and asked Liu Yan with a sad look on his face.
Liu Yanwei lowered her head and thought for a while and said, "There is no other way. Now we can only send the child away as soon as possible to avoid the long night and dreams."
"Send it away?" The old woman suddenly rushed over nervously, hugged the village chief's thigh, and begged repeatedly, "Village chief~~~You pity my old girl~~~No~ No~~Woo~~~"
The village chief frowned, grabbed the old woman's arm, trying to pull her out of the ground, the two of them competed and twisted together for a while. The village chief blamed, "He, Aunt Zhou, why are you confused? Your baby is gone, why are you still relying on her skin? This will affect our entire village, do you know?"
Mo Chen and others were confused, but they couldn't ask. What was the reason for the sudden change in mood of the old woman? Also, Liu Yan's words of sending her off was probably not to fade away from the meaning of the funeral!
Mo Chen glanced at the old man who was smoking a cigarette just now. When he heard Liu Yan say he was going to send the dead body away, the old man also clicked nervously and dropped the cigarette puff in his hand to the ground. It seemed that they all knew what Liu Yan meant was.
After the village chief persuaded him for a long time, the old woman refused to submit. In the end, the village chief lost his patience and shouted sternly, "If you don't have such a good or bad way, I won't care about your family's affairs! You can do it yourself!" After that, the village chief acted as if he wanted to leave.
Mo Chen could see that the village chief was just pretending, not really leaving, he was just scaring the old woman.
