C9 Another one dead
It was impossible for Zhu Lao Liu to just let the chickens starve to death. Could something have happened to Zhu Lao's family that caused him to not have time to feed the chickens?
Grandfather threw the dead chicken in his hand on the ground and walked into Old Zhu's home. The front rooms of Old Zhu's home were not locked.
When grandfather and I walked into the hall, we didn't see Old Zhu's family members. We searched Old Zhu and his six families, but we didn't see even the slightest trace of Old Zhu.
During this time, I also discovered a strange problem. There was a thin layer of dust on the tables and chairs of the six Zhu Clan members, as if no one had used them in a long time. Adding the chickens that had starved to death outside, it also meant that the six Zhu Clan members had not lived there for a long time.
When I thought of this, a scary thought suddenly appeared in my head. Fan Zhen had been dead for exactly five days, and Zhu Lao Liu had also disappeared for five days, could it be that Fan Jin was killed by Zhu Lao Liu and the rest? Zhu Lao Liu was afraid of being discovered, so he ran away, which also explains why Zhu Lao Liu did not announce the death of his daughter-in-law. He was afraid that others would find out the cause of his daughter-in-law's death.
Thinking of this, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. If it's really like this, then Zhu Lao Liu is really too ruthless, so I told grandpa what I thought.
His grandfather nodded and said, "This is very likely."
"Grandfather, now that Old Zhu and Old Liu don't know where they are, how are we going to find Fan Zhen?" I said worriedly. As long as Fan Zhen doesn't die, I won't be able to rest in peace.
Grandfather patted my shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Grandfather naturally has other ways to find Fan Zhen."
Although grandpa said it was easy, but I still couldn't calm down. Not only am I worried that Fan Zhen would suddenly appear and harm me, I'm also afraid that grandpa's enemy would harm me. After all, grandpa's enemy has already started to harm me.
After my grandfather had finished speaking, he suddenly walked to the front door of Old Zhu's six houses and pulled Old Zhu's six houses from behind.
Behind the door was a patch of scarlet that was all blood. A portion of the blood was already in the shape of a clot. Grandfather smeared his finger over the bloodstain, placed it in front of his eyes, and said, "It's human blood."
When I heard that the pool of blood was human blood, my first reaction was, it was the blood of Old Zhu's family of six.
After my grandfather wiped the blood off his fingers, he said to me, "Look carefully."
Grandfather and I rummaged through Old Zhu's family of six again, but we still couldn't find any important clues. This time, both Grandfather and I searched very carefully, almost turning the entire family upside down.
It was as if Zhu Lao Liu and his family had vanished into thin air, leaving no clues behind.
Grandfather saw that he couldn't find anything important, so he left with me.
After leaving Zhu's home, my grandfather told me to go home and rest, but he headed towards the village entrance, not knowing what to do.
It was obvious that Grandpa didn't want to take me with him. I didn't ask and went home.
When I got home, I cooked a simple meal. After eating, I closed the door and went back to my room to sleep. After tossing and turning for the entire night, I was already exhausted.
I fell asleep on the bed and slept until the next morning, when I was awakened by a knock at the door.
When I heard the knock on the door, I immediately put on my clothes and ran out. I had just walked out of the main hall when I saw my grandfather playing Tai Chi in the courtyard.
My grandpa turned a blind eye to the knock on the door and continued to hit his Tai Chi. Seeing this, I smiled helplessly and walked over to open the door.
The first thing I saw when I opened the door was the village chief standing at our doorstep, sweating profusely.
Our Village Head is called Wang Hua, he's already in his forties and is bald. Our family doesn't usually interact with the Village Head, and I don't know what the Village Head is here for, so I moved to let him in.
However, the Village Chief waved his hand and did not enter. Instead, he anxiously asked me, "Qiankun, where is your grandfather?"
I was about to say something when my grandfather, who had finished his Tai Chi match, walked over and asked the village chief what he wanted.
The village chief then explained his purpose for coming here. After my grandfather and I heard this, we were stunned. The village chief said that another person had died in our village, and he was pretending to be Lin Fan from yesterday. He wanted to invite grandpa over to take a look.
If Lin Fan's death was an accident, then today's death was not.
After his grandfather finished listening, he asked who was in trouble.
It was a villager surnamed Zhang at the eastern end of the village.
Our village is called the Bai Jia Village, and we have all sorts of surnames. According to the village elders, our village was built by refugees from all over the place, so we have all sorts of surnames.
Grandfather and I followed the Village Head to the house with the surname Zhang.
When I arrived at that house and saw the dead body, I was stunned, because the dead body was exactly the same as the one I saw yesterday.
The victim's name was Zhang Hu, also in his early twenties, about the same age as Lin Fan.
When the villagers saw their grandfather arrive, they turned to him and asked, "Master Tang, what did you see? Is it because the village is dirty? "
"Yes, if the village doesn't have clean things inside, I would ask Master Tang to take care of it." The villagers all said to their grandfather.
It was just that his grandfather watched as Zhang Hu died. He frowned.
"Master Tang, don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us what you know." The village chief said to his grandfather.
His grandfather paused for a moment before saying, "This tiger and yesterday's Lin Fan were both killed by evil."
As soon as his grandfather finished speaking, he heard a villager cry out, "What do we do if there's really evil?"
Then, all the villagers asked their grandfather what they were going to do. After all, two people had already died in succession in the village. No one could guarantee whether or not there would be more deaths.
The village chief saw the villagers clamoring and shouted at them to shut their mouths. All the villagers had shut their mouths, since Wang Hua had some ability to become the village chief, everyone was afraid of him. With this, the villagers all quieted down and then he said to his grandfather, "Master Tang, please think of something."
Grandfather gave a bitter smile and said, "I don't know what exactly got me killed. Zhang Hu and Lin Fan, how am I supposed to make a decision?"
"Master Tang, didn't you just say that Zhang Hu was killed by Evil Turtle? How come you can't explain it now?" The village asked curiously.
I also looked at my grandfather, puzzled.
Grandfather immediately said: "There are many different kinds of evils, this could be demons, ghosts, monsters, I'm just a normal White Deacon, how can I tell what killed Zhang Hu and Lin Fan with a single glance. The only thing I can be sure of is that Zhang Hu and Lin Fan were killed by the same evilness."
After saying this, his grandfather didn't wait for the villagers to speak and asked Zhang Hu's parents if Lin Fan had been in contact with Zhang Hu recently, or if they had gone to any unclean places.
Zhang Hu's parents answered right away. Zhang Hu had been busy with the Autumn Harvest, and had not had any contact with Lin Fan, nor had he been to any unclean places.
After his grandfather heard this, he nodded and asked Zhang Hu's parents if he could examine Zhang Hu's corpse.
Zhang Hu's parents hesitated for a moment before agreeing. They said that as long as they could find the culprit who killed their son, they can do whatever they want. After getting Zhang Hu's parents' consent, grandpa squatted down to examine Zhang Hu's corpse.
His grandpa then put his hand on Zhang Hu's nose, then with a sudden press, a cloud of black gas floated out from Zhang Hu's mouth.
When the villagers saw Zhang Hu spitting out the black gas, they all stood back in fear, afraid that they would be infected by the black gas.
However, his grandfather dispersed the black gas and then began to check the other parts of Zhang Hu's body.
His grandfather had not been able to find anything for a long time, so the Village Head couldn't help but ask, "Master Tang, can you tell anything?"
Grandfather shook his head. Grandfather had already checked Zhang Hu from the beginning to the end. Just when I thought Grandfather was about to get up, Grandpa suddenly took off Zhang Hu's pants.
Grandpa's actions gave the villagers a fright, especially the women, who covered their eyes with their hands.
But I almost laughed out loud because Zhang Hu's place...
