Fengshan Village has an irregular layout, and the ancestral hall is in the center of the village.

But the northeast corner of the village is farther away, and the road is more difficult to walk. The buildings here are in disrepair for a long time, and there are often fallen bricks and stones from the yards on both sides of the road, and the thick snow covers those bumps.

The more you go to the northeast corner, the more desolate it is. The walls of some courtyards have collapsed, and the buildings are also in danger. It seems that people will fall to the ground with a slight push.

When Tu Wanzi came back, Shi Chen and Wen Xue were changing into cotton-padded jackets and trousers with a strong rustic flavor, sitting at the entrance of the ancestral hall, rubbing their hands and waiting for her. Came for a retro blockbuster.

As soon as she arrived outside the ancestral hall, she didn't stop. Wen Xue stood up and left without any explanation.

When they felt that they were going out of the village, they finally found a building that looked different from the depression around them.

The building also looks old with gray walls on the outside, but if you look closely, you can find that there are traces of repeated repairs on the walls, the gate of the yard is half open, and the yard is very clean, and there are tools needed for life.

Without the owner's permission, Shi Chen pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard, walked directly to the closed door, and knocked twice.

"Who is it?" A female voice came from the room, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground, as if someone had accidentally kicked something over, "Come right here."

They waited at the door for a minute or two, and the person who spoke finally came to open the door, but she opened a small opening, like an animal smelling danger, and stared at them vigilantly.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" The woman held the door with her hands, as if she would close the door at any time.

"It took so long." Shi Chen looked over the top of the woman's head, looked into the room, and said with a smile, "The room is only this big. Even if your daughter is hidden, how difficult it is for us to find it."

"I don't understand what you are talking about." The woman tried to close the door with panicked eyes.

Shi Chen propped his palm on the door, no matter how strong a woman is, she will be no match for a grown man.The woman failed to close the door. Instead, due to the reaction force, she took two steps back and watched the door open.

Four strangers suddenly appeared, and the woman picked up the kitchen knife on the table in fear, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and shouted: "Don't come over!"

He has seen a lot of vicious gangsters. If he hadn't been in a dream, Shi Chen would not have paid attention to such a woman whose hands trembled like a small motor. It would take less than a minute to subdue him.

"I'll just ask you a few words." Shi Chen sat down at the table without hesitation, put one knee on the long bench, leaned his elbows on the edge of the table, turned sideways and threatened the woman: "Be lenient for confession, and strict for resistance. You You have to be honest, everyone is safe, but if you lie, then I have no choice but to tell the secret that you have caused the death of so many people in the whole village."

Wen Xue put his right leg lightly on his left leg, put his hands on his knees, and looked sideways at the woman.

Shi Chen took the match on the table, stroked it between two fingers, exhaled smoke and continued, "If the people in the village know that you have committed all these years, guess what will happen to your daughter?"

Wen Xue's elegance is in stark contrast to Shi Chen's ruffian, the appearance is different, but inside they both have the aura of killing without blood.

Tu Wanzi and A Pan blocked the door and looked at each other. Although they knew that they were acting deliberately to bluff people, they were a little bit afraid of the two big guys in the room at the moment.

The woman's knuckles turned white, her eyebrows were pressed down, and she cried, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Shi Chen clicked his tongue, tilted his head, his eyes naturally looked at the water tank on the side of the wall, looked at Wen Xue, and raised his eyebrows as a hint.

Wen Xue understood what he meant, and walked to the side of the tank with lightning speed.

"Don't go there!" The woman rushed towards Wen Xue with a knife in her hand, she lost control of her emotions and would do things to hurt others and herself at any time.

Shi Chen easily snatched the knife with one stride, and threw it to the two people by the door.

In the blind spot behind the water tank, there was indeed a little girl about eight years old hiding behind.The girl sat crouching with the doll in her arms, her face turned pale with fright when Wen Xue appeared, her almond eyes opened wide.

The woman threw herself on the side of the water tank, hugged the girl who came out, and cried, "Don't touch my daughter."

"You still say you don't know? You don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Shi Chen sat back at the table and called Tuwanzi and Apan at the door to enter the room.

The temperature in the room rose like an ice cellar, and the little girl was sent to play on the kang by the woman. What should come will always come. The woman knew it when she changed the bag. She sat down on the side of the table, rubbing her apron with both hands.

"Yes, the girl who sacrificed to the mountain god back then was not my daughter, but a child brought in by that Taoist priest." The woman looked at her daughter, wiped her tears and said, "I don't want to, but I'm just such a daughter, why don't I just let her die?" ?"

"Why didn't you run away?" This is not reality, but Shi Chen still wanted to ask, and even said slightly reproachfully: "Yes, your daughter is pitiful, you are pitiful, that girl's mother also lost a daughter."

"She's an orphan." The woman said righteously, "I can't survive in the mountains anyway. Besides, if our orphans and widows escape, where can we escape? I know that Taoist priest is a swindler. The only way, I can only spend money to eliminate the disaster."

Shi Chen kicked the leg of the table, shaking Tuwanzi who was about to scold.

If this kind of thing happened in reality, he would definitely pull someone by the collar, regardless of whether the other party was a man or woman, he would have to speak up and educate him, but now this is a dream, so what if he cursed or arrested him, he couldn't wake them up.The most urgent thing is to find the conditions for waking up.

Would a fake Taoist priest who was deceived and abducted kindly provide a child for free?Shi Chen didn't know how much money he would spend in exchange for a child, and he was bothered to inquire.

Compared with these unimportant details, Shi Chen felt a sense of confusion, vaguely feeling that they had missed important clues.

Wen Xue supported his body with his hands, and said softly to Shi Chen, "Is Hong Yangzi..."

"I'll talk about it later." Shi Chen said.

Tu Wanzi slapped the table with her palm, and her heart was full of anger. She had innocently mutilated and trafficked children. She really wanted to take off her high heels and break open a woman's heart to see if she had any humanity.

Before she opened her mouth to taunt, suddenly the woman's intuition came alive, and Tu Wanzi felt a pair of eyes staring at her from the left back, casting them coldly.Looking back, she looked at Youyou, the little girl who was holding a baby on the kang alone, which immediately gave her goosebumps, and her attitude was [-]% cowardly.

"Where is the girl's body? After it was picked up, it was buried or cremated." Tu Wanzi said with a half-hearted smile.

The woman covered her chest with her hands, washed her face with tears for a long time, panted heavily to calm down, and said with a sob: "There is no cremation equipment in the village, and they are directly buried in the Houshan Village Cemetery. All the children who were sacrificed were buried there after being picked up. Carve a small wooden sign out of wood and insert it into the soil, and it will be their tomb."

Shi Chen sighed, "Is your daughter's name engraved on the tombstone?"

The woman nodded weakly, covered her face with choked sobs, and sobbed non-stop. At the same time, she was muttering, explaining her difficulties and helplessness. Shi Chen had already heard the cocoons in these words.

After finding the little girl, Wen Xue kept his eyes on the girl. The girl's expression was very strange, and the corners of her mouth were slightly sunken. When listening to a woman's confession, her expression would have imperceptible resentment.

"Is that girl Tian'er?" Wen Xue turned to the woman and said, "Are you sure she is an orphan?"

"I don't know." There was fear in the woman's eyes, she was probably overwhelmed by guilt, she covered her mouth with her hands, as if repenting, "When I saw the girl, her mouth had been sewn up with fishing line, that's what the Taoist said , she was an orphan when she was picked up."

After two cigarettes in succession, Shi Chen's second-hand smoke filled the room, and Wen Xue, who was influenced by it, couldn't help coughing several times. Shi Chen wanted to smoke more cigarettes to relieve his troubles, but he didn't want to poison Wen Xue any more, so he took the A cigarette was twirling at his fingertips, and he looked up at the woman, "Last question, what is your daughter's name?"

The name of others is engraved on the stele after death, and I want to know that death is hard to rest in peace.

The woman replied honestly: "Xie Xing."

The questions were almost the same, no one wanted to stay here, Shi Chen and Wen Xue got up one after another, and asked Tu Wanzi to put on his shoes.Although the layout of the room is very warm, and there are women's intentions in life everywhere in the shabby house, everyone's thoughts are surprisingly the same, they don't want to stay in the house, and are eager to go out to breathe.

The woman took her daughter by the hand and walked them to the door, just to make sure they would not tell the secret.

During the exhortation, the woman's expression became distorted. Before everyone could react, the woman's body was broken bit by bit in front of their eyes.The neck was broken first, then the arms, legs, and spine fell off one by one. Finally, the whole person looked like an invertebrate animal afraid of the ground. He stared at his chest, paused and stopped, twitched twice, and then stopped breathing.

"How... how did you die?" A Pan took a few steps back, hiding behind the staring and terrified Rabbit Ball, his teeth chattering as fast as a hamster chewing on it.

Shi Chen's throat constricted, his vocal cords froze in the sub-zero temperature, and he froze in place.

The little girl looked down at the fallen woman calmly for a long time, and then slowly raised her head. She still had that immature face, with a smile that was not a smile, and her deer-like almond eyes looked dull at the moment, like fake eyes.

"You..." The little girl hugged the toy, pointed at Wen Xue, and laughed, "It's very interesting."

The "tick" of the plush toy was dripping water, and the water wrapped around the little girl's hand as if alive, covering her whole body little by little.

What is the situation now, except the blind can see.

"There are still three days left for the Mountain God Festival. I'll wait for you." After the girl finished speaking, she heard a call coming from the house, she responded with a grin, and turned to enter the house.

Wen Xue's guts are definitely man-made, fake and shoddy products. When he saw the little girl entering the room, the door closed automatically, and he had to push the door after following her.

Shi Chen hurriedly stopped Wen Xue and begged, "Hey ancestor, calm down. There are two of them inside."

"Aren't you curious what the other one looks like?" Wen Xue was dragged away by Shi Chen, turning his head to look back from time to time.

Shi Chen rolled his eyes, and said quite sadly: "You are good-looking, are you still going to invite someone to dinner? Learn from me! Scumbag! You haven't invited me to dinner yet."

Wen Xue: "..." Why is it happening here again?

Half a day's trip here was quite fruitful, but Li Luoluo was a little lazy at work, and hadn't been out of the small building all day, and he still used rabbit balls for lunch, which were steamed cold in the morning.Not to mention the other two, they were so frightened that they sat on the sofa without moving their buttocks.

As expected, when I came back, I learned that there was no news from these three people.

Shi Chen was not surprised, he was tossed about in the ancestral hall for a long time today, Shi Chen felt a little sore at the moment, he suggested to rest first, and go up the mountain tomorrow to get Tian'er's stele.Probably because Meng Lite went well this time, Tu Wanzi and A Pan had no objection, and were going to go back to the room to take a nap first, and everyone worked together to make a good meal in the evening.

Poor Hong Yangzi and Yu Zijie stretched their necks and waited for clues, but they didn't get any comfort in the end.

"What are you doing at our door?" Shi Chen folded his arms and looked at Tuwanzi's sneaky look.

Li Luoluo didn't know what bad things she was going to do at their door. Seeing them coming back, her muscles instantly stiffened, as if her whole body was in a plaster cast. She seemed to be hiding something in her pocket, and she glanced to the upper right.

"I was taking a nap just now, and I heard noises in the corridor, so I thought you were back." Li Luoluo quickly concealed it, and her expression returned to normal, smilingly said, "Brother Wen Xue, have you found any useful clues?"

"No." Wen Xue turned sideways to avoid Li Luoluo's hand, and turned the doorknob, which was still locked.

Shi Chen patted Li Luoluo on the shoulder twice, passed by, stared at her back meaningfully for a few seconds, and took out the key from his pocket with a slightly raised mouth, and threw it at him.He entered the door late, squatting by the door to observe the lock outside for a long time, raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw Wen Xue had turned upside down in the room.

The room is so big and cramped, there is no way to hide things.

Wen Xue dug out the wet baby from the camphor wood box and dangled it in front of Shi Chen.

Shi Chen took the toy, looked at the camphor wood box, "Just one? I'll go, she's an actress in reality, right? She's at the best actress level at an Oscar, and she changed it tomorrow morning, pretending to be real. Acting like an attempted murder, we mistakenly think she didn't succeed."

"What should I do?" Wen Xue raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to throw it back?"

"No, just leave it alone. She will probably cry tonight." Shi Chen said, "Do you think she will be in the well tomorrow morning?"

"Be careful, you are a policeman." Wen Xue said.

Just as Shi Da's prophet said, there were constant cries in the corridor that night. Listen carefully, the sound came from the door of Li Luoluo's room. The shrill cries were different from the low cries of the previous two days. Tian'er at the door was asking her for a doll .Li Luoluo was frightened and hid under the quilt, embracing the luck that she would survive if she survived the whole night.

Shi Chen couldn't remember when the resentful sound in the corridor stopped, anyway, he slept peacefully in Wen Xue's arms from the beginning to the end.

The hinges of the door of this kind of folk house are loose, and it is easy to force it open.

The door of Li Luoluo's room was knocked open early in the morning, and the reassuring light of the day was shining through the window, giving people the illusion that everything that happened at night was fake.

Wen Xue walked over and looked in, but there was no one in the room, as expected.When I went down to the bottom floor, I didn't see anyone, but there was another group of people around the well.

Seeing that he was wrong, Shi Chen asked Tu Wanzi, "Li Luoluo?"
