Chapter 23: Happiness Village 10
Next, Lin Mutao and Shi Shi continued to wander around the village.
They found that the status of women in the village seemed to be very low. Working in the yard even when pregnant. Even if those men were asking for help, their eyes were fixed on their stomachs.
It's like, what they really care about is not their wives, but the children in their wombs.
When they meet a woman whose man is not around, Lin Mutao and Shishi will also come forward to inquire about Li Shuangshuang.
They learned that Li Shuangshuang's reputation in the village was not very good.
Li Shuangshuang's family is very poor, only an old father is at home.
But she was good-looking since she was a child, and many men in the village secretly fell in love with her. Li Shuangshuang has both sides, and accepts everyone's kindness and care for her everywhere.
Lin Mutao felt that Li Shuangshuang looked like a sea king?
Later, there was a young man of the same age as Li Shuangshuang, who was very kind to Li Shuangshuang and moved Li Shuangshuang. The two fell in love and were about to talk about marriage. As a result, Li Shuangshuang thought that the boy's family was poor, and suddenly ran to town without a word.
But within a few months, Li Shuangshuang returned to Xingfu Town, but she did not come back alone this time. Because she is pregnant.
Suddenly, rumors spread in the small happy village. Li Shuangshuang's father felt disgraceful, so he moved out of Xingfu Village, and only Li Shuangshuang lived in Li's house alone.
Lin Mutao and Shi Shi looked at the woman opposite and spoke with high spirits, their saliva was about to fly out, and they felt a little uncomfortable. Lin Mutao asked, "Then why did Li Shuangshuang die?"
The woman stopped her mouth immediately, she raised her head and looked at the setting sun, and walked into her house and said, "Oh, I'm going to cook, so I won't talk to you anymore. Don't do it again. Fan, my family is going to scold me."
Lin Mutao and Shi Shi sighed as they looked at the woman's disappearing back. Shi Shi said: "It seems that Li Shuangshuang in Xingfu Village is a woman who loves vanity. She regrets her marriage and gets pregnant unexpectedly. No wonder the villagers are gnashing their teeth when they talk about her."
Lin Mutao turned her head, took a deep look at Shi Shi, and rubbed her little head: "Xiao Shi, don't say that. Rumors are terrible, and dead people don't care for themselves. justified."
I don't know if what the woman said is true or not. It's not good to define it too quickly.
The poems are thoughtful.
Suddenly, Lin Mutao grabbed Shi Shi's arm and ducked to the side, shouting, "Who is it?"
A man came out from the corner, but his specific appearance and age could not be seen. Because he was so sloppy, his hair covered most of his face like thatch, leaving only an unshaven mouth. The clothes on his body were also tattered, and when he got close to it, he could smell the smell of rancidity.
The man looked at the two of them gloomily and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to inquire about Shuangshuang?"
Frost? Is he familiar with Li Shuangshuang?
Lin Mutao suddenly had a guess in her heart, she seemed to know who he was.
Lin Mutao asked, "Do you know it's raining today?"
"Rain?" The man tilted his head in confusion, as if he didn't understand why Lin Mutao suddenly mentioned the rain. The village had been dry for more than a year, and he was surprised to see it raining through the window today. But what does this have to do with frost?
He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, he heard from the neighbor next door that he was going to fight a drought today.
He picked up the messy bangs in front of his forehead in shock, revealing a pair of eyes staring at Lin Mutao and Shi Shi in front of him, and asked, "Could it be...the body of Shuangshuang today..."
Only then did Lin Mutao realize that the sloppy man in front of him had beautiful eyes, like a drop of ink in a black ocean, adding a radiance to his ordinary face. Lin Mutao nodded, confirming his guess.
"How do you know! Did you participate? Tell me, what happened to Shuangshuang!" The man rushed over and grabbed Lin Mutao's neck with one hand, asked fiercely.
Lin Mutao's slender neck was tightened violently, and she coughed violently. In such an urgent time, Lin Mutao even thought, why is her neck strangled in both worlds, how is her neck attractive? She thought about wearing a choker with spikes around her neck next time. Squeeze your own neck, so that others have no neck to strangle.
"Brother, don't be impulsive!" Shi Shi responded quickly and pulled the man up, "It wasn't us who participated! It was our companions who participated!"
"Companion? Then you all should be damned!" The man heard this, and the movements in his hands did not stop.
Shi Shi got excited, grabbed the man's chicken coop head, and pulled back hard. "Our companions were forced by the villagers! They didn't want to! Besides, we also picked up Li Shuangshuang's jade pendant!"
At the same time, Lin Mutao tried to break the man's hand with his hands, then raised his foot and kicked the man's stomach. She has been merciful, and didn't kick the important part.
He rubbed the top of his head with one hand, covered his kicked abdomen with the other, and asked, "Jade pendant?"
Shi Shi's fingers had more than a dozen hairs, she hurriedly threw it behind her, and nodded obediently with her hands behind her back.
Lin Mutao coughed several times before describing the jade pendant to the man.
The man listened, froze in place, "I gave that jade pendant to Shuangshuang. She...she still keeps..."
Lin Mutao sighed and said, "Sir, are you Li Shuangshuang's fiancé?" The young man who was about to discuss marriage with Li Shuangshuang.
The man nodded and softened his attitude towards them. He said, "Yes, my name is Shi. Just call me Shi."
Stone said that he and Li Shuangshuang were childhood sweethearts and grew up together since childhood. Although the boys of the same age in the village liked Li Shuangshuang, she only liked him. He and Li Shuangshuang had a very good relationship and were planning to get married soon, but one night, Li Shuangshuang suddenly came to him crying and broke up.
He was very strange, but what was even more strange was that the next day, Li Shuangshuang disappeared.
He went to Li's house to find Li's father, Li's father only said that Shuangshuang went to the town, let him give up. It didn't take long for Li's father to move out of Xingfu Village.
And what happened next is similar to what the woman said. Li Shuangshuang disappeared for a few months and returned to Xingfu Village pregnant again.
Lin Mutao asked Li Shuangshuang how she died in the end.
Stone shook his head and said he didn't know. It turned out that after Li Shuangshuang disappeared, Shishi moved to the end of the village by himself, and no longer interacted with other people in the village. Later, after Li Shuangshuang came back, because Li Shuangshuang was pregnant, he was entangled in his heart and never went to see Li Shuangshuang.
In a few days, I heard the news of Li Shuangshuang's death, and the villagers paid for her to be buried.
He went to ask the village chief, and the village chief said that it was because Li Shuangshuang fell, bled and died.
Lin Mutao nodded, but still did not mention the various knife wounds on Li Shuangshuang's body. The cause of Li Shuangshuang's death was definitely not as simple as the fall that the village chief said.
Lin Mutao thought about it and said, "That jade pendant is the last thing Li Shuangshuang left, since you gave it to her, then we will take it back to you tomorrow and return it to its original state. Lord. In addition, we were actually sent from above to investigate Li Shuangshuang, if you have any clues or think of anything, you can tell us."
Lin Mutao's last sentence was vague, but it was enough to make Shito believe them. He had always been puzzled by Li Shuangshuang's sudden breakup and left without saying goodbye. Now that he heard that someone was coming from above, his eyes suddenly flashed with hope.
He said, "That's good... I have the key to Shuangshuang's house. If you need it, I can give it to you."
It turned out that the key to Li Shuangshuang's house was actually in the stone.
Lin Mutao made an appointment with Shishi to meet at the end of the village tomorrow to exchange keys and jade pendants.
Seeing the sunset, Lin Mutao and Shi Shi walked towards the village chief's house.
When they entered the yard, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang turned a blind eye to them both. Wang He glared at them fiercely.
Lin Mutao and Shi Shimu walked into the room without squinting, and the other four were already waiting for them.
Only, Fang Dong stood on his hips angrily, and Chen Yinuo, who was beside him, was blushing with tears.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Dong gritted his teeth and hammered down the table, scolding: "That **** Wang He, today Yinuo and I approached him for news. As a result, he pulled me aside and asked me if I wanted to make money. ."
"I thought I was making money! I didn't expect it to be a promise! I slapped him directly! This beast."
How to make money? Wang He's proposal was naturally a flesh and blood business, and Fang Dong was furious.
Although Fang Dong usually looks cowardly, he is still very concerned about his girlfriend, no wonder he is so angry.
When Chen Yinuo knew about this, he immediately cried, so Fang Dong and Chen Yinuo didn't have the heart to inquire about other news. They did not go out, but stayed at the village chief's house. However, when Wang He and Uncle Wang were not paying attention, Fang Dong found a book similar to a ledger in Wang He's room.
Fang Dong described with his poor memory: "There are various names in the notebook, all of which seem to be male names. The names are written with straight characters, and there are at most two The letter is straight, and there are a few drawings. The last page of the book is called Boss Qian, and his name is not followed by the letter, but drawn in a circle."
The Lin Mutao team and the Du Ziteng team exchanged the news they had inquired about.
Du Ziteng and Yu Ye were mainly looking for men in the village, so the news about Li Shuangshuang was similar to what Lin Mutao heard earlier.
But because of the appearance of Shi Shi's confession, there was a little bifurcation in the matter of Li Shuangshuang.
First, Li Shuangshuang is loved by men in the village because of her good looks. But what was her attitude towards them? Do you hang boys like everyone said without resisting, or just like Shishi alone as Shishi said?
Secondly, the reason why Li Shuangshuang and Shishi broke up. The people in the village said it was because Li Shuangshuang thought the stone was poor. But from Shitou's mouth, even Shitou didn't understand why he broke up.
Thirdly, why did Father Li move out of Xingfu Village? People in the village said that because Li Shuangshuang was pregnant, Li's father felt shameless and moved away. But what Shishi said was that before Li Shuangshuang came back, Li's father moved out.
The other points they didn't know were: Why did Li Shuangshuang go to town? She is pregnant, whose child is she carrying? Why did Li Shuangshuang die? What does the ledger in Wang He's room mean? And what is the relationship between Li Shuangshuang and Qiao Niang's "save me" and "run away"?
The anchors wrote down these undetermined points on paper and prepared to go to Li Shuangshuang's house to investigate after they got the key from the stone tomorrow.
Because the village chief's family no longer prepared food for the anchors, the six of them relied on the snacks in Chen Yinuo's backpack to solve a meal casually, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
At night, there was finally no irritating ears. The girls who had been poisoned the night before finally got used to it, lying on the broken wooden bed so tired that they couldn't keep their eyes open.
When she slept into the middle of the night, Lin Mutao suddenly felt that the stuffy room was like the air conditioner was on, and it was so cold that it gave people goosebumps.
She opened her eyes and looked telepathically at the window by the wall.
It was no longer night outside the window, but a face as pale as white paper. On his face, a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at the three girls on the bed.
The author has this to say:
New day, new effort!
