Chapter 39

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

Looking at the sunshine outside the window, I felt a new life.

Now that the cornucopia has been "delivered" out smoothly, and Chen Yu and Xiao Qi have left, it's time to deal with their own affairs.

My complexion is almost indistinguishable from that of a dead man recently, and I still haven't been able to get rid of the dirty things on my body.

The purpose of Zhou Wenyuan's approach to me is very clear, that is, to come for the cornucopia, but whether he is sincerely helping me, or just pretending, I haven't figured it out until now.

But the sixth wife in the lonely village reminded me to be careful of Zhou Wenyuan inside and out.

In addition, Zhou Wenzong also said that Zhou Wenyuan is not a good person. For the sake of the cornucopia, let alone me, even his own father, he can do anything.

I had to take this into account!

After getting drunk, my mind cleared up a lot, and I was determined to stay away from Zhou Wenyuan. Besides, now that the cornucopia is not in my hands, he has no reason to keep pestering me.

As for the dirty things on my body, I can only turn to Zhou Wenzong for help.

Just as I was thinking, I saw something at the end of the bed out of the corner of my eye. I took a closer look, and it was a cornucopia!

This thing has long legs and ran back by itself?

I was so dumbfounded, I went to pick up the cornucopia and took a look, and I immediately understood that this thing seemed to recognize the owner.

Maybe it's because my blood soaked it, so no matter who I give it to, it can come back by itself?

The more I think about it, the more confused I become, where is there such a thing in this world!

But the facts are in front of me, I can't help but believe it.

I called Zhou Wenzong and asked him to go to the lonely village again to get rid of the dirt on my body. I can accept any price.

But on the other end of the phone, he said unhurriedly: "Think about it, the lonely village is not a place that ordinary people can go to often."

These words confuse me. I have been to the isolated village several times before and after, and nothing happened. Why did Zhou Wenzong say that the isolated village is haunted like a ghost, so I can’t go there often?

Speaking of haunting, I remembered the strange thing Zhao Ming mentioned, saying that anyone who doesn't come home at night will die the next day.

But Zhou Wenyuan, Zhou Wenzong and I didn't stay at home at night, why didn't we die?

I really don't believe this set of ghosts' rhetoric!

"Anyway, think it over." Zhou Wenzong reminded again.

I agreed wholeheartedly and said it was all right, so Zhou Wenzong agreed to go to the lonely village again.

I understand how to get rid of this dirty thing on my body, I have to go to the sixth wife!

This time I begged the sixth wife, maybe she will help me when her heart softens?

After making up my mind, I made an appointment with Zhou Wenzong, and went straight to Gucun by car.

When I got to the entrance of the village, I noticed the well again.

I don't know why, just standing aside and looking at the well, my feet didn't listen to me, and I went to the mouth of the well in a strange way.

Zhou Wenzong hurriedly grabbed me and patted my shoulder, and I was relieved.

His forehead was already dripping with sweat.

"This well is a bit evil..."

Zhou Wenzong glanced at me and said, "No matter how evil you are, it has nothing to do with you. Don't look there if you have nothing to do."

While chatting, Zhao Ming walked over.

This kid seems to be able to pinch and count. Whenever I go to the entrance of the village, he always comes here by coincidence.

When we met each other, Zhao Ming had a smile on his face, but Zhou Wenzong's complexion was a bit dark.

"Angkor, come to play again!" Zhao Ming greeted.

I nodded and said, "Well, come and have a look, I'll stay at your place tonight, okay?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ming was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work today...someone is at my house."

I thought it might be that Zhao Qian came back, and it's normal that I can't stay here. After all, I came with Zhou Wenzong this time. To Zhao Ming, Zhou Wenzong is an outsider.

I had to smile awkwardly and said, "It's okay, then I'll find another one!"

After finishing speaking, I went into the village with Zhou Wenzong, and happened to meet the child who was at the door of the sixth wife's house last time at the fork in the road.

I still remember that this kid insisted that the sixth wife was dead, and even brought his stupid brother over to testify, and he didn't blush when he lied.

Looking back now it's kind of cute.

At this time, the child was enjoying the shade under the big tree at the fork with an old lady.

I thought that after all, I met once, so I might as well stay at this kid's house for one night tonight, and I have to pay anyway, it doesn't matter where I live.

Then he got close to the grandma and grandson and sat down next to each other.

"Hey, remember me?"

The child turned to look at me, smiled and nodded.

"Can I stay at your house tonight?" I added, "It's not for nothing, I'll give you the money, and you can tell your grandma, okay?"

Before the child could make a sound, the old lady at the side suddenly said "Ouch" and said:

"Are you pretending that my wife doesn't exist?"

I saw that the old lady didn't look like an unreasonable person, so I said, "Then can you see if it's okay?"

The old lady glanced at me first, nodded, then looked at Zhou Wenzong standing not far behind me, pouted and said:

"no!"

I was puzzled, and asked her, "Why doesn't it work again?"

She shook her head and remained silent.

I think this old lady is considered to be of the older generation in the village, so I thought I might know something about the sixth wife, so I asked her:

"Old lady, have you lived in the village for some years?"

The old lady pouted and replied, "I've lived here for some years, and I can't even remember."

"Then do you know Liu Po?"

When the old lady heard the sixth wife's name, her eyes widened and she said:

"I know, there are not many people who come to the village to look for her. Who are you?"

"I'm not who she is. I just came to ask her for help, just to get to know this person."

The old lady pursed her lips, looking a little unhappy, and said, "Why do you ask the dead for help?"

The children beside him booed and said, "This strange uncle came back to find that ghost old woman."

When the old lady heard this, she frowned immediately, shook her head, and said, "Another obsessed!"

I don't like to hear what she said. The sixth wife is alive and well, why did she die?

It's fine for a child to lie, but why does this old lady think that the sixth wife is dead?

Just as I was about to open my mouth to continue to ask something, the old lady asked me first, "What's wrong, little baby, you are not obsessed with ghosts, why are you running around with a burnt ghost in broad daylight?"

What the old lady said stunned me.

Burn to death?

I unconsciously glanced at Zhou Wenzong behind me, and then got goosebumps all over my body.

This burnt ghost is obviously referring to Zhou Wenzong!

Enduring my sense of fear, I asked her, "Don't make fun of me, I am timid."

The old lady was immediately happy, and said: "Who is joking with you, this has not followed you all the time!"

My heart skipped a beat, I felt icy cold all over my body, this burnt ghost was talking about Zhou Wenzong, he must have not run away!

I was about to ask again, when I suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder, and then I turned my head.

At this time, Zhou Wenzong was standing behind me, looking at me seriously, and asked, "What's wrong with you, I told you to keep quiet for a long time."

I was about to reply, but I couldn't help but look back at the old lady and the children beside me.

The sight made me gasp.

Both are gone!

Zhou Wenzong saw that my face was not good, so he didn't answer, and asked again: "What are you doing?"

I quietly asked: "Lao Zhou, did you see the old lady and the child sitting next to me just now?"

Zhou Wenzong raised his eyes and looked around, then reached out and touched my forehead, and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's going to be dark today, where are the old ladies and children coming from!"

I don't know how to explain it, so I have to say that I may have read it wrong.

Seeing that it was getting dark, I still couldn't find a place to stay. It's not that I'm afraid of anything, I have to find a place to sleep, right?

Zhou Wenzong thought about it for a while, and finally he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead me to the ruined temple.

It's quite sad to think about it. In such a big village, no one is willing to take it in for the night?

After I settled down in the ruined temple, Zhou Wenzong was going to take me to find the sixth wife.

Along the way, I have been looking at Zhou Wenzong's shadow consciously or unconsciously, hoping to see some clues.

The old lady's words still had some effect, and I began to doubt Zhou Wenzong a little bit.

Zhou Wenyuan helped me because of the cornucopia, so what about Zhou Wenzong, what is he doing for it?

This question has been lingering in my mind until we came to the door of the sixth wife's house, and I barely forgot about it.

When we knocked on the door, Zhou Wenzong and I were a little dumbfounded that the sixth wife was not at home.

If Zhou Wenyuan's temperament was followed, he would probably have to climb over the wall again and go straight to the tunnel.

But Zhou Wenzong didn't have such a temperament. Seeing that the sixth wife was not at home, he dragged me back to the ruined temple.

I watched Zhou Wenzong all the way again, and when I thought about it, I thought it was ridiculous. Why should I believe what a strange old lady said, and still doubt Zhou Wenzong.

Anyway, he helped me!

Early the next morning, I followed Zhou Wenzong again to look for the sixth wife.

After knocking on the door, no one opened it.

The two of us became a little suspicious, and looked inside through the crack of the door, and there was indeed no one inside.

Where did the sixth wife go?

Zhou Wenzong and I looked at each other, what should we do if we can't find anyone?

After thinking about it, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the neighbors.

There are actually no neighbors around the sixth wife's house, and the nearest family is about a hundred meters away.

Zhou Wenzong and I walked to the door, and saw an elder sister leaning against the door, knocking on melon seeds, with a leisurely look.

Seeing us approaching, she spat out the melon seeds in her mouth and asked, "What are you two doing?"

"Sister, I'm asking you, where is the sixth wife who lives in the front room, do you know?"

"Bah!" The eldest sister became angry immediately, and cursed: "What the hell is the sixth or seventh wife, I can still know the dead? You two get out of here!"

After speaking, the eldest sister turned around and went back to the house, even closing the door.

This is a bit strange, if one person says Liu Po ​​is dead, I might not believe it, but now it is the second person who says Liu Po ​​is dead...
