Here Lies The Wicked

Chapter 63: Mountain Village Mischief

People in mountain villages, get some rest.

But it's also early.

Early in the morning, the rooster sounded, the sun dawned, and the ancient well village had risen early to cook smoke...

Fang stayed up all night. He has not slept for a long time since practicing martial arts.

Often, practice replaces sleep, and the next day you get a full day of energy.

It's just an occasional break for an hour or two, and it keeps people's basic habits.

Soon, however, Gui Village's atmosphere today was discovered, something was wrong, and there was an atmosphere of tension that began to spread as quickly as a virus among their staying tourists.

There were a lot of people last night who heard a woman knocking on the door in the middle of the night, asking if the rain had stopped and had seen her children. Five or six of the more than 30 people who stayed here actually came across this weird thing.

Someone replied, "It may be raining heavily. The child is hiding in the mountain. Go back to the mountain and look for it."

But some of them said, "I didn't see it.”

And the people who answered that they didn't meet were the self-driving tourists who came into the village for help, and they didn't happen to hear the strange story the village chief told them.

At this time, everyone gathered early in the morning to discuss the matter, but everyone was unanimous in speculating that it must be a prank at night.

Someone started asking in the team if there were any pranks, deliberately making fun of everyone, and now came forward to explain the matter clearly, and no one would blame him.

But no one ever stood up, and everyone said no to their own pranks.

“You, any of you ever open the door and see that... woman?” Suddenly, a weak voice sounded, and it was the female anchor, the little fish.

She also encountered this strange thing last night, she was directly scared to scream, did not answer the woman's question, ran straight back to the room to be scared for one night, and did not sleep well all night.

At this time, she looked bad, pale, cold all over, coughed from time to time, wrapped in thick layers of clothing, but still shivered so cold. Suspected of being frightened last night and freezing out of the cold, accompanied by low fever symptoms, has just eaten the cold medicine delivered by the self-driving tourists, and the effect has not yet begun.

“In the middle of the night, life is unfamiliar, who opens the door without permission. ”

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't open the door to see the woman.

At a time when everyone was suspicious of each other, the village chief took several elderly people from the village and rushed to find them.

There is a bad feeling that people can't help themselves...

As soon as the mayor arrived, he asked if any of you had seen a woman knock on the door last night and asked if you had seen her missing child.

And then I asked everyone, "What's the answer to all this?"

Turns out, it's not just the five or six people who stayed among the tourists. Something strange happened last night. This has spread to the whole village. Many villagers came to the village chief this morning and said that a woman knocked on the door last night, asking if the rain had stopped and had seen her children...

Until then, when villagers came together, they realized that almost half of the village had similar experiences.

Now the villagers are in a state of panic.

Because someone opened the door and saw the woman, they didn't go to the village, and only the older generation would occasionally tell the story, so they answered and didn't see it.

But according to what they said afterwards, the woman was not a villager in the village.

If you are really from the same village, you can't look up every day and look down, everyone will know you.

And the only face I don't know… is the trapped villagers.

So the village chief intends to assemble everyone at the pavilion, so that the villagers can identify whether it is one of them, deliberately pranking and teasing everyone.

After listening to the village chief, everyone looked at each other and felt a little numb in the scalp.

The village chief did some ideological work, and the village bus driver communicated and coordinated between the two sides. The traveler agreed to go to the village pavilion to prove his innocence, and also to find the prank operator as soon as possible.

The square is naturally also in the crowd.

He was silent the whole time, since the villagers saw the woman, if the villagers were excluded from the prank, the villagers doubted that it was them, and it really made sense.

After all, only these outsiders will the villagers not know each other.

So before things were clear, Fang didn't speculate on someone.

Nor did he seek to defend himself.

All you have to do is go to the village pavilion and everything will fall apart.

When a group of people came to the pavilion, they saw that many villagers had been surrounded here. When they saw Fang Zheng's arrival of these outsiders, the villagers began to see something more.

There is indifference and anger. In sum, suspicion comes from the heart...

Fang Zheng, these outsiders, are as if they were sent to the streets of the old times to wait for criticism. When Fang Zheng entered the temple, he saw only the most virtuous elderly people of the village in the temple. He was carefully held up in the chair of the priesthood and held to justice.

“Old man, my face is thick, let the village chief bring you tourists trapped in our village, now you come to recognize people, see each face clearly, old man, I hope you do not tarnish the reputation of our village of Gui, do not insult any good people. ”

“If anyone dares to wronge a good man, the people are watching, and the ancestors of the ancestors in the temple are watching your every move. ”

A ninety-year-old, trembling old man with spots, cautiously supported by two younger generations, stood with a cane from the maestro's chair, his voice still loud and bright.

From the momentum of the old man, it is abundantly clear that the village has a high status.

The identification process is simple.

All women were singled out for identification by the villagers, yet none of them matched.

There are villagers who are uncomfortable and have repeatedly confirmed that no one really fits.

Even all the men, they checked it out, not the woman's face they saw last night, but the villagers said the woman's face last night, just like the female anchor fish now, pale and bloody.

They also carefully confirmed that the female anchor had not shaken her head until the end, convinced that it was not the female anchor.

According to the villagers, last night the woman, about the age of 278, the female anchor fish just graduated from college green little girl, too young, unlike that woman.

“Confirmed? ”

“Are you sure it wasn't these trapped villagers? ”

“Have you forgotten something and owe them an innocent apology? ”

The centenarian, looking around at the villagers, adhered to the path of justice.

The villagers were ashamed and apologized to the tourists.

The anger of the wrongdoers made us feel a little better, but the question came to a dead end. Last night, the woman was neither a villager nor a tourist. So who is this woman?

Outside roads, too, have been interrupted by mudslides, and people outside can't even get into this mountainous village.
