Chapter 109: mystery
Even if this person made the pearls raised in the village for a year almost not sold, it should be the villagers who hated her, not her son madman.
In short, there is always one thing that cannot be avoided, and that is the villagers.
What did the madman's mother do to make the pearl almost unsold? And what did the villagers do?
Why did the madman's mother die? Why are crazy people crazy?
And where is the madman's father?
He briefly brushed his thoughts, and then he asked: "Does the madman's father ignore him?"
"His dad is also dead," the man turned the sandpaper, the dust rustled and rustled, and raised his head with a weird smile, "He died in the house where you live now."
As the two of them pondered, he laughed loudly, "You won't believe it, will you? I lied to you, the madman's father's death was an accident!"
Shen Qingcheng “…”
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he got up and thanked the man and left with Lu Qi. In the distance, other players were chatting with the villagers at the villagers' homes, but they didn't go.
"How about we go to the mountains?" he suggested.
Lu Qi: "Yeah."
So the two of them pretended to take a walk and approached the mountain inadvertently, greeting the passing villagers from time to time, and after walking for about twenty minutes, the two came to the foot of the mountain.
There is only one winding path leading to the mountain. The path is narrow and thin and covered with dense weeds. It is impossible to find it without careful observation. It can be seen that there are few people walking around.
Shen Qingcheng was walking ahead and was about to step on it when Lu Qi suddenly grabbed his right hand.
He paused because of this, and before he could say "what's the matter", he heard the indifferent voice of the young man leading the way, "Where are you two going?"
The young man who appeared out of nowhere was standing at a distance of about ten meters, the expression on the backlit face could not be seen clearly, he repeated without emotion, "Where are you two going?"
Shen Qingcheng, who was blocked behind, said calmly, "I want to go to the mountain to see, the scenery on the mountain should be good."
The young man did not believe it or not, "Beauty beads are raised on the mountain, and outsiders cannot approach."
Beauty beads are raised on the mountain! In the hands of lunatics!
Isn’t it said that the beauty pearls are selected from all the pearls with the best appearance, so they were raised?
And the strange thing is that the villagers actually entrust such an important matter of raising beauty beads to a lunatic? To a man whose mother kept the village's pearls from selling for a year?
"So that's the case," suppressing the doubts in his heart, he smiled embarrassedly, "Then let's go."
The youth stood there and didn't move, Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi walked away and looked back, the youth was still watching them coldly.
Shen Qingcheng looked up at the top of the mountain. A small wooden house was built on the mountain. In front of the house, there seemed to be a short and fuzzy figure, motionless.
"It's almost noon, let's go back to eat first." He said.
Lu Qi: "Okay."
On the way, the two met several players who were also preparing to go back to eat. The two sides exchanged clues and found that the progress was similar.
In the beginning, their goal of finding villagers was also achieved. The mussels raised in the village are indeed larger than those in other places, and the maximum length can reach the length of an adult's hands.
The pearls from these mussels are as big as the mouth of a bowl and can fetch a high price.
"Brother Run, I can't find my pearls. Did they fall into the water? What should I do?" The woman snuggling in her boyfriend's arms coquettishly said, she couldn't see the panic when she fell into the water. look.
"It doesn't matter Jiaojiao, no matter how good-looking the things in the copy are, they are fake, go back and I will buy you the real one"
"But it's real in the copy"
The two of you come and go, one is coquettish and the other is coaxing, and the players who can hear it feel sour.
Aunt Huang had no eyes to see, clutching her sore cheeks and preparing to go back to the room, the sun had already come out, and she was sweating a lot from the sun, she planned to wipe it with water before eating.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Shen Meiren slumped on top of Lu Qi.
"Brother, I'm so tired"
"..." Lu Qi put his arms around him skillfully, and said in cooperation, "How tired."
"My jio is sour after walking for so long"
Shen Qingcheng did not deliberately lower her voice when she spoke, but Li Jiao, who heard the conversation, turned her head to look at him and fired a death ray.
Shen Qingcheng leaned on Lu Qi and smiled friendly.
Li Jiao hummed, turned around and hooked Feng Tianrun's neck, stomped her feet, twisted her waist, and spoke a few degrees sweeter, "Brother Run, look at him"
Aunt Huang, who was forced to eat dog food, looked around. The other players in the yard had foresight and ran away. She stomped her feet angrily, "Old man, my life is so bitter!"
【Hahahahahahahaha, Aunt Huang laughed at me! 】
】
[(Stomping your feet, twisting your waist) Beauty, you learn from others Jiaojiao]
The lunch was vegan, not without meat dishes, but because all meat dishes were made of mussels, Shen Qingcheng didn't dare to eat.
He couldn't eat a lunch, and Aunt Huang next to him was very appetizing, and while eating, he said, "Why hasn't that guy named Huang Pingwei come back?"
Nothing will happen.
A female player hesitated for a while, "When I came back, he seemed to have entered the matriarch's house."
Shen Qingcheng: "Wow, you're so brave."
Lu Qi put a bunch of vegetable leaves into the bowl for him, "Don't worry, eat quickly."
Shen Qingcheng lowered his face, "Green vegetables are so bitter."
As he spoke, he took a leaf and stuffed it into his mouth, his face wrinkled with bitterness.
Huang Pingwei didn't come back after a meal. No one offered to go to him, they could only take responsibility for their own lives.
The sun was scorching hot in the afternoon, although Shen Qingcheng was not afraid of the sun, but it would be uncomfortable if it was too hot, so the two decided to rest in the house in the afternoon and go out when the sun was not so hot.
Other players do the same.
Play a game to pass the time during this time, the game prefers to drive a train.
Sitting face to face with Lu Qi on the bed, Shen Qingcheng sighed after showing the card, "I want to drive a real car."
The person on the opposite side replied: "I don't seem to see a car in the village. I'll go back to the garage and pick one."
After saying that, remembering that the other party can only stay in the terminal, Lu Qi changed his mouth, "Buy a new one."
"No, you don't understand." Shen Qingcheng looked at him and shook his head.
Lu Qi raised his eyes and suddenly realized something, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't answer. After playing the cards, he found that the new cards could match the previous decks, and only one card was eaten in the long list.
Shen Qingcheng said quietly, "It's amazing, it's all eaten."
Lu Qi had a hunch that he was going to do something bad, but he didn't have time to cover his mouth, only to hear the admiring tone of the person on the other side: "When will it be my turn, I want to be eaten and wiped by my brother."
This card is completely unplayable.
After a while, the thin sheet that was blocking the heads of the two was lifted to reveal two overlapping figures.
Shen Qingcheng lay on the bed, his cheeks flushed, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Lu Qi wiped the corners of his wet lips, got up and folded the quilt and put it aside.
Poker cards were found everywhere on the bed, Lu Qi gathered the cards, "Are you still playing?"
Just now, there was a weak man who immediately stretched his feet to hook the man's waist, with unabated interest, "Yes!"
Lu Qi: "...I said cards." He was speechless.
Shen Qingcheng: "I told me!" I was looking forward to it.
However, Lu Qi chose to play cards, Shen Qingcheng was so disappointed, he didn't finish the appetizer!
About two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest, Huang Pingwei finally came back. Shen Qingcheng received Lu Qi's reminder and leaned over to the window and raised the curtains to look out.
Huang Pingwei looked in a hurry, clutching his chest and walking straight into the house, turning a deaf ear to Aunt Huang's reminder that the main room had left him vegetables.
Lu Qi said: "He has something hidden in his arms."
Shen Qingcheng: "The little sister with the ponytail said that he went to the matriarch's house, and he stole the things from the patriarch's house? What could it be?"
"Like a book," Lu Qi said, "he looked flustered, and he was probably discovered."
In this case, the patriarch's people should catch up soon, but the two of them waited for a long time without waiting for the second person to appear.
Unless the content of the book is not important, the matriarch feels no need to chase.
Shen Qingcheng was even more curious about the contents of the book. With Huang Pingwei's character, he would definitely not share the clues in the book with them. He put down the curtains and sat cross-legged again, thinking about how to put the book Borrow to take a look.
Yes, call a little paper man and put it in Huang Pingwei's house at night to see if there are ghosts.
No tour guide appeared in the afternoon, and the players went out one after another when the sun was not shining.
Not counting Huang Pingwei, Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi were the last ones to go out. They guessed that the other party was caught stealing something, so they shouldn't go out today.
The two first went to the pond where the mussels were raised, but they still did not see the mussels. Then they turned to the village and found a handicraft that the villagers used to make a fortune. A clay sculpture made by mixing mussel shell powder and clay.
They changed a group of people to ask everyone what they think about foreigners. The answer they got was that only lunatics didn't like foreigners, but there was a new harvest, that is, the village was not allowed to marry foreigners.
For the parents of the lunatic, most of the people who know the situation are the older generation in the village.
Shen Qingcheng asked the madman's grandparents again, since the man is a local, there should always be relatives in the village.
The answer is that the old man has passed away, and the parents and patriarch of the lunatic are the same generation.
"That's right," the old man who was asked remembered something, squinted his eyes and said slowly, "In those days, the old Xu family did not allow the daughter-in-law from other places to live in the house, so they specially built another room elsewhere. The house, as I remember it, seems to be a brick house, which is quite far from where everyone lives."
The brick house is far away, isn't that where they live now?
Shen Qingcheng suspected that the man in the morning did not lie, and that the mad father may really died in the brick house.
Confirmed what he had guessed was to summon a ghost at night. The summoned ghost was insane and could not ask anything, but the little paper figure he attached ran away with a female ghost.
