"No, I really don't. old man, I'm poor. I've been a bachelor all my life, and I didn't marry a wife. Originally, people in the village laughed at me. I didn't expect that when I was old, there was no pain of losing my son, and there was no sadness of white hair people sending black hair people. They envied me for not coming. "
The old man laughed at himself. He seemed proud, but in fact he was miserable.
Emperor Bofan gave Secretary Wang a wink. Secretary Wang quickly came forward, took out his wallet, took out a stack of red banknotes, handed them to the old man and said, "uncle, thank you. This is for you."
"Oh, no, No." The old man declined.
"Take it. Add yourself a dress and buy yourself a pair of shoes." Secretary Wang looked at the old man's faded clothes and said.
"Then I'll take it." The old man said happily and accepted it.
Qiao Li Ting asked again, "is there anyone living in every family in this village? Are there any vacant houses or basements? "
Emperor Bai Fangang wanted to ask, but he was robbed by Qiao Liting. Their thinking was really highly consistent.
"Well, going up high, there are several older families who have passed away one after another this year, and the house is empty. I haven't heard of anyone in the basement."
The old man thought for a moment and replied.
Qiao Li Ting took a look at di Bai fan. Di Bai fan immediately said alertly, "we'll go there."
Di Baifan and Qiao Liting reacted quickly and immediately walked in the direction of the old man.
"Thank you, uncle. Let's go. Goodbye." Secretary Wang said, and followed up with Yuan Yuan immediately.
After a few steps, Emperor Baifan remembered that Ruan Chu's legs were inconvenient, so he wanted to hold her again. Ruan Chu quickly said, "you go to find Diandian with elder brother first, and let Yuan Yuan help me go."
Emperor Baifan saw that it was getting dark, and he couldn't afford to delay. So he handed Ruan Chu to Yuan Yuan and said, "you and Secretary Wang are responsible for taking care of her and protecting her."
Secretary Wang and Yuan Yuan immediately stick to Ruan Chu and promise to protect her firmly. Emperor Bai fancai quickens his pace to keep up with Qiao Liting.
As the two men walked side by side, Qiao Li Ting asked, "do you think there is something wrong with what the old man said?"
"There's a problem, there's a big problem." Emperor Bai fan replied.
"What do you say?" Qiao Li Ting asked again.
Emperor Baifan knew that there must be something in Qiao Liting's heart. He was just asking his opinion.
"The young people who went out and didn't come back, and the missing children, have big problems. People here are so superstitious that they believe it's the punishment of some monsters. I don't believe that. I think we should investigate it carefully. " Emperor Bai fan replied.
Although it's not sure what the reason is, it's definitely not the old man's saying.
"Now find Diandian first. When you go back, you must call the police." Qiao Li Ting said with approval.
There is another question in his heart. Since so many strange things have happened in this village and he has also reported them to the police, why hasn't the police paid attention to them? After so long, the case hasn't been solved, so it's not settled.
But if you think about it carefully, these villagers are so superstitious that once they are determined that it is God's punishment or the devil's mischief, they dare not resist. They are afraid to bring more disasters, so they dare not go to the police again.
When I came to the highest place mentioned by the old man, there was a row of houses. The door was closed and the grass grew in front of it. It seemed that I had not lived for a long time.
