I thought about it and thought about it. It was hard to guess, but if we left, would he be even more suspicious that we did it? Before we left, we sneaked the village chief to a very remote place and told him not to tell anyone about it. Now that our son is dead, if we don't go now, he'll be sure for the rest of his life that we did it.
In the end, I persuaded Wu Na to come back to the village with him that night. It was already morning when we reached the village.
It was still dawn, and the birds were still chirping. At the same time, there were also some unfortunate crows' cries. We knocked on the village chief's door early in the morning, so we didn't want to worry him too much.
"Dong, dong, dong ~ ~ ~"
"Who is it? "You're here so early in the morning?" It was the village chief's voice.
When the village chief saw that it was me and Wu Na who came over, he asked, "I just got up and you guys came back, what's wrong? What's the matter? "
"We... We're here to tell you something. " After all, it's not easy to say that someone has died, not to mention that the one who has died is his son.
Wu Na saw that I was stuttering, so she told me everything she wanted to say. "Village Head, let me tell you something. Your son is dead …"
When I saw the Village Head's expression, he was shocked. His eyes were filled with astonishment, but slowly, his face lengthened. He seemed to have completely changed and didn't have any intention of letting me in.
"Village Chief, don't be sad, your son …"
"How did you know?" You? You saw it with your own eyes? "
The village chief thought that the wrinkles on his face must have been caused by his son, who was at the age where he could support his children, to lose his own son. How painful must this be? I told the village chief everything that had happened. After I finished speaking, I was about to leave when I was stopped by the village chief. The jade pendant in my pocket fell out.
When the village chief saw the jade pendant I dropped, he picked it up and carefully studied it for a moment. Then, as if he was about to eat someone, he changed his mind and said, "It was I, together with the white fox, who killed his son."
"What's this!?" There's the shape of the fox, what do you have to do with them! Did you and that slut come together to take revenge on my son! "
Wu Na looked at all this as if she had already predicted it and didn't say anything.
I quickly shook my head and explained myself, but no matter how hard I tried, the village chief wouldn't listen. He even threatened to take me to the police station! I was stunned and hurried out. I didn't expect that the Village Head would lose control of his emotions and dial 110. He even shouted for a bunch of 'brothers'. This matter happened too suddenly.
"Village Head, if I was the one who killed him, then what am I back here for?" The reason I came back this time was to tell you to be careful of those little foxes and to come back and take revenge on you all! " However, the Village Head seemed to be an old relic, not listening to a single word he said. Where did all those monsters in this world come from? He even said that I was the one who made this up to deceive him, and when I wanted to leave, both Wu Na and I were already tied up.
Because they are ordinary people, I cannot easily use Zhong Kui's secret arts, because revealing the secrets of the heavens is not a good thing. I thought, go to the police station and go to the police, do I not know in front of the police officers?
Wu Na looked at me with the same helpless expression. 'Sigh, why can't I believe these old rotten people!' When Wu Na and I were taken away, I could only hear Old Village Head Wu wailing and crying …
Arriving at the police station and finding this familiar place, I could only say that my luck was really "too good"! This time, he actually ran into Huang Ling! But wasn't she already dead? Doctor Zheng said he was dead!
It was obvious that Huang Ling's curvy body was wearing a police uniform. Coupled with her pretty good face, walking into the waiting room was a completely different scene. Una and I were taken to two different waiting rooms because they were afraid we would collude and refuse to call.
I happened to be assigned to Huang Ling's waiting room, and when I saw her and she saw me, the expression on our faces was one of "Why are you here?"
"Zhong Xin, what did you do this time?"
Huang Ling asked me first.
I had a helpless look on my face. "Aren't you …"
"Thanks to you, I'm not dead yet. What can that Zheng guy do to me?" I felt that something was wrong with him from the start and intentionally lured him into the trap. I didn't expect that fool to actually fall for it! "
"I'm feeling helpless this time. Take a look at my case first. You guys don't have any evidence to say that I was the one who killed him."
"Who talked to you, sit down! "Now, I will ask and you will answer. You can't lie, you will have to check with that little girl in that room over there." Huang Ling instantly assumed the posture of a royal sister as her loud voice echoed throughout the entire waiting room.
Time ticked by, and I answered all her questions truthfully. Finally, she asked me to explain about the jade pendant that the white fox had left for me before she left. She saw that we hadn't left yet, so maybe there was something on her mind, but before she could finish, she was picked up by Una. If the old man doesn't believe you, then won't you believe him?
Huang Ling stared at me. Her eyes were sharp, and her whole person exuded a very serious aura. It made me want to have a casual conversation with her.
Huang Ling said that she probably already knew what had happened, and she suspected that the village chief was very suspicious, because when I told him that his son was dead, his first reaction was actually to hold me back and accuse me of what was going on in the police station. Normally, it should have been very sad and painful, but the village chief didn't, he only cried out loud after I was taken away with Wu Na, so there must be something amiss.
The next day, Huang Ling sent someone to bring the Village Head over for questioning. After a strict interrogation, the Village Head finally said the truth. He was the one who sent his son to 'throw away his life'. Ever since the birth of the white fox, his son had been depressed and often lost his temper at home. He suspected that his son had been possessed by the white fox, so he asked a mage to visit him, and the mage said that Wu Xiaohu could only be freed if he went to the white fox's grave. Thus, he "encouraged" his son to go to the white fox's grave, but he didn't tell him the reason why his son had died. However, he was wrong. Wu Xiaohu already had a thought in his mind. Along with his father's "instigation", Wu Xiaohu came to the cemetery, which led to a series of events.
Actually, I am also someone with feelings, but I never had an impression of my father since I was young. But I also know that the Village Head is only doing this for the sake of his children, he just believes the words of the mages, causing harm to his son. But the starting point is always good, now that everyone is gone, why should he let his father live a miserable life?
At this age, not everyone can endure the pain of losing their son, so I might as well let him go back and think about it. Moreover, his son's death wasn't caused by him, after all, his son had always been planning to live a peaceful life, so he couldn't blame anyone else.
After telling the village chief to go back, I also prepared to leave with Wu Na.
But let's go back to the mayor's house and pacify his heart.
I said to the Village Head, "Village Head, do you still remember that old Chief Wu I told you about? Is he really not here? "
"Why are you looking for him?" I only remember that many years ago, he went to a place alone and rarely returned to the village to talk to us. Now that you ask where he is, I really don't know very well. "
"Wu Na looked at me and lowered her head." Zhong Xin, what should we do next? "Where to?" Wu Na asked me.
I was silent.
The next day, we prepared to leave to continue our search for the whereabouts of Old Wu. We didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, we came to a county that was near the city, very close to the city, and I suspected that Old Wu might be hiding in the neighborhood, because he would only be able to stay away from the village so that we wouldn't be able to find him. And within this range, after leaving the county and the city, there was no better place to stay than these two places.
At night, we would rest by the side of a river. Because we were afraid of the tavern, the river appeared to be exceptionally tranquil. After crossing this river, we would arrive at the city!
I thought I might get hungry in the middle of the night, so I went to find something to eat and told Wu Na to wait here for me. But when I came back, I found that Wu Na was gone! I looked at our luggage, which was still lying intact by the river. Wu Na's jade pendant was still lying on the ground.
After that I stayed where I was and called out to her, but there was no response. It wasn't until the next morning, when Wu Na hadn't returned and when I called her cell phone and no one answered, that I realized something must have happened to her!
There aren't many families or villages by this river. The only place with more people would have to wait until we cross this river in the bustling downtown area. She can't help but wait for me to go by myself! Was it because I ignored her yesterday and didn't tell her what we were going to do next, that she was angry?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I picked up my phone and dialed Huang Ling's number. I thought that Huang Ling was a police officer and wanted her to help me look for her.
I told Huang Ling what had happened, but there was a moment of silence from the other side.
"Why are you talking?" Can you help me find a way to talk to her? Wu Na came out with me. She's gone now, so I'm responsible! " I shouted in a hurry.
"Don't worry, listen to me first."
"Sure, go ahead."
"It's very close to the city, so you have to be more careful!" A series of strange events recently occurred in the city. Many people died at that time, and the majority of those who died were sucked dry to their deaths … "
A zombie even appeared? He had once seen a zombie on TV, but he only saw a thorn turning into a zombie. Now, there was a large number of zombies in the city? I asked in surprise, "Was it done by a zombie?"
