Chapter 115 Failure
The old man was already sitting quite far away from me, and there was no one else around to ask, so I could only suppress my curiosity.
I didn't find a chance to ask what was going on until I arrived in Maoxi County.
I took out my phone and checked the flight time.
In the evening, there was a flight back there, and then there was the flight that had taken off an hour ago.
I was idle and had nothing to do, so I simply found a restaurant and prepared to eat something to kill time and solve the problem of my stomach.
I chose this small restaurant not only because it was cheap, but also because the environment here was poor, and I could hear everything others said clearly.
Since no one was willing to tell me the truth, I went to a crowded place and listened to other people gossiping.
Anyway, no one could guess where I came from and where I was going.
Two plates of stir-fried vegetables and a big bowl of rice. Because I was driving, I basically didn't drink alcohol. Even if I drank, I wouldn't drink a lot of liquor.
In case of an emergency, I would not be able to control my body because of excessive drinking.
While eating, I pricked up my ears and listened carefully to the situation around me.
You know what, I actually heard someone talking about the village.
The person who spoke was cautious, and he looked around while speaking.
If I hadn't been attracted by her sneaky look, I wouldn't have noticed him.
"Have you heard? Recently, several people in Eryang Village have died. There are only a few people left in their village. This time, it's good that they didn't die."
I ran over there without leaving a trace, and the voice fell into my ears more and more clearly.
The person sitting with him shook his head. I couldn't see the expression on his face, but I could tell that he was definitely unwilling to talk about Eryang Village.
What kind of strange things happened in Eryang Village that made people from several surrounding villages avoid me so much.
Fortunately, the person who was talking didn't stop, and the person sitting opposite him shook his head and didn't interrupt him.
"Don't be afraid. There are no real ghosts in the world. They are all pretending to be ghosts. I think something shameful happened in their village, so so many people died at once."
I couldn't help shaking my head, and I was worried for the person who was talking.
The thing that called me yesterday, I still have no idea what it is and where it came from.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that it is definitely not a living person.
In addition, my experience in the middle of the night made me very sure that Eryang Village is now shrouded in a fog.
My ability is not enough to peel off the fog.
"Stop talking. Anyone who discusses the affairs of Eryang Village these days ends up dead or disabled. Do you want this to happen?"
The person who just expressed his disapproval then began to comfort him. He didn't want the people around him to talk nonsense in public.
I looked at the two of them again, and I can basically be sure that these two are definitely not gossipy women.
They are policemen. I'm afraid that many people have died in Maoxi County recently because of the affairs of Eryang Village.
And these people have one thing in common, that is, they once discussed the matter of Eryang Village in public.
In the end, they died tragically at home, and their death was miserable.
The police station had no idea to solve the case, so they could only use the matter of Eryang Village as a starting point to try to find out the truth.
"What are you afraid of? In broad daylight, can I be killed by the ghosts of Eryang Village? Besides, what is the current situation in their village? If others don't say it, can it be treated as if it didn't happen?"
Although they talked about the matter of Eryang Village, they actually talked for a long time, but didn't get to the point.
I was a little disappointed, but I gave up asking about the village.
If they really wanted me to know, they wouldn't keep me hanging.
Keeping me hanging is probably not a good thing.
I paid the bill and left the restaurant, and took out my mobile phone to check the time.
I didn't expect that my mobile phone was accidentally turned to silent at some point.
There were two missed calls on it, and the numbers were all from Shaanxi Province. I took a look at the call records.
I knew it must be a call from Zhang Ning.
After hesitating for a long time, I decided to call her back.
What if she has something important to talk to me about?
The phone rang two or three times and I got up, and I heard Zhang Ning's lively and cheerful voice.
I felt much more comfortable. I was a little impatient at first, but now most of it has disappeared.
"Hello, Brother Su? Have you gone home? I'm at the bus station in Maoxi County now, and I plan to take the evening flight back."
I didn't expect that Zhang Ning also planned to go back tonight.
So, we are still quite destined.
I agreed to go to Zhang Ning now.
When I arrived at the bus station, I saw Zhang Ning in sportswear from a distance, looking around, looking for me.
I walked over with my things and successfully met up with Zhang Ning.
The bus to the airport just left, and the next one will be in an hour.
After buying the ticket, I took Zhang Ning into the station.
After three years, the station in Maoxi County is still as shabby as ever. The only decent place inside is a noodle shop.
Zhang Ning didn't eat when he came out of the house. I just didn't eat enough, so we had a meal together in the store.
During the meal, I was worried and didn't say anything.
Zhang Ning chattered, lively like a little lark.
"Why doesn't Brother Su say anything? Am I too noisy and make you upset?"
Zhang Ning looked at me with a wronged face. If I nodded and said yes, I'm afraid she would cry loudly in the next second.
I came back to my senses and shook my head with a smile.
"I came home too late yesterday and didn't sleep all night. I feel uncomfortable all over. I don't mean to dislike you."
When I spoke to a girl who looked decent, I didn't dare to speak in a harsh tone, for fear of scaring her.
Zhang Ning knew that I didn't dislike her, and I didn't know where to take out a box of yogurt and put it in front of me.
"Yogurt with vanilla ice cream, I like it very much. I don't know if Brother Su will like it."
A bottle of yogurt with beautiful and cute packaging was pushed to my left hand.
Speaking of which, I haven't drunk yogurt much since I was a child.
I always feel that this thing is feminine and not something a grown man like me should drink.
I waved my hand, not intending to accept the bottle of yogurt.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning pouted, as if she would cry if I didn't accept it.
I had no choice but to put the yogurt in my pocket.
