Chapter 65 Suspicious Clouds
back home.

Wu Qing's house has two rooms.Wu Qing's eldest brother Wu Hong and his sister-in-law Axiu lived in the back room.

Wu Qing, Wu Boss, Wu Lao San, and the three bachelors live in the outhouse.

Even in midsummer, when the weather was sultry, Boss Wu closed the doors and windows of the house tightly and bolted them to death.

Boss Wu didn't say anything, but Wu Qing knew that it was a deliberate precaution.

Just in case Wu Bei's family gets annoyed and wants to settle the old hatred and the new hatred that has not been written off.It's always good to be on guard.

It wasn't until late at night that Wu Qing, who was lying on the bed at home, heard the silence outside the house.There is no more noise from the villagers.

Only then did Wu Qing fall into a deep sleep. What woke him up the next day was not the crowing of the cock, but a mournful howl from outside the wall.

"Ah~"

It was so sharp that it seemed to squeeze out the last trace of air in the lung cavity.The smell of panic.

Wu Qing rubbed her eyes, unable to remember what dream she had last night.

Grabbing the black umbrella next to the bed, he jumped up from the bed.

Wu Boss and Wu Laosan who slept with him in the outer room opened their eyes, still confused, and asked,
"what happened?"

Wu Qing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, he slept with his clothes on last night, and now he didn't need to put on clothes, so he quickly pulled up the long pole that supported the door, and pushed open the door of his house.

The night air blows in.

The rooster hasn't crowed yet, so it's not dawn, so it's still the end of the night.About three or four in the morning.

A mud house opposite the door was not lit, and the door was so dark that it looked like the entrance of a mine. A middle-aged peasant woman was sitting slumped outside the door, with a look of astonishment on her face, her hands on her chest, and she kept shouting,

"Come here, come here, I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death..."

Wu Qing looked around, only to see a few nearby families just opened the door, holding earthen oil lamps, looking around.

I didn't see any villains.

Wu Qing felt strange, grabbed the black umbrella, walked a few steps to the opposite room, and asked the middle-aged peasant woman in a deep voice,
"what happened?"

The middle-aged peasant woman trembled her lips, unable to utter a complete sentence, she just pointed into the room,

"My man, he, he..."

The middle-aged peasant woman choked her throat and cried out,

"he died--"

The cry dragged on for a long time, as if this was the only way to vent her helplessness.

Dead again?

Wu Qing didn't rush into the middle-aged peasant woman's house immediately. Yesterday, people suspected that he was related to the murder case.Now to avoid suspicion.

Wu Qing and the others entered the house after several villagers from the surrounding households came together.

After only two steps over the threshold, the earthen oil lamps in the hands of the villagers illuminated a dead body on the ground.

A middle-aged farmer was shirtless and pale. The blood was dripping weakly from his neck, which had obviously been flowing for a long time.Around the skull under the head, there was a small pool of scarlet.

On the face looking up to the sky, the two eyes and one mouth are all open, even a little out of shape.The same horror as the face of the peasant woman at the door, the difference is that the horror on his face is frozen.He was terrified before he died.

The hearts of those who entered the room stopped beating.

The others were shocked, but Wu Qing was surprised.He had only seen bloodier ones, so he wasn't surprised.

Strange why there are dead people in this village again.

But no matter how strange it felt, Wu Qing was only a young man in Wu's village, and it was not his turn to ask questions.

Village head Wu rushed over when he heard the sound. He was startled by the dead body in the house, but he was an old man. After calming down, he asked the middle-aged peasant woman at the door,

"How did your man die?"

The middle-aged peasant woman just covered her mouth and sobbed, unable to speak clearly.Everyone only listened to the general idea.When she got up early in the morning, she saw the door was wide open, and her man died in the house.Can't tell when he died.

Then Village Chief Wu asked again,
"Your man is dead, and you haven't heard any movement at night?"

The middle-aged peasant woman took a deep breath and tried her best to think about it. After a while, she said,
"I was still sleepy in bed at night, as if I heard a knock on the door. I was sleepy and didn't get up. My man got up and went to open the door. I didn't see my man come back for a long time. I just got up and went to the door. Who knows, who Know……"

The middle-aged peasant woman sobbed again.

But at this time, some brave villagers suspected that the death of the middle-aged farmer was somewhat similar to that of Wu Xingye yesterday, with large blood stains on his neck, so they took a light on the bleeding neck, including Wu Qing. Inside, everyone's eyelids twitched.

On the neck of the middle-aged farmer, the thickness of two chopstick heads is thick, and there are small blood holes juxtaposed.

It was exactly the same as the wound on Wu Xingye's neck yesterday.

Only then did Wu Qing notice that there was something wrong with the small puddle of blood under the head of the farmer's corpse.

What's wrong?
The man bled to death. The blood was almost gone, but there was only a small pool of blood on the ground.

Wu Qing didn't have many lives in his hands, only a few, but he didn't need to experience this kind of thing too much, and he knew that such a little blood was not enough to kill people.

And the farmer's face was pale, and he really looked like he had lost blood. Where did the blood go?
Wu Qing narrowed his eyes.

But I have never heard of a poisonous snake that would knock on the door and suck blood.

If it was Wu Qing's previous life, there is a high probability that Wu Qing guessed that someone was setting up suspicious positions.But Wu Qing just killed an umbrella ghost a few days ago...

Ever since, in Wu Qing's mind, an image that often appears in strange stories quietly emerged.

zombie.

Also called jumping corpse, flying corpse, likes to eat human blood.

Of course, it's just one of guesswork.

Maybe there is someone who took a lot of trouble to kill a farmer, and even specially designed to take his blood away.

Which is more ridiculous?Look at the boundaries.

What kind of territory is this?It's not the Republic of China anyway.

…………

Two murders in two days.

A strange emotion lingers in Wujia Village, forcing the villagers to gather in the village ancestral hall.

Wu Qing's family is also there.Wu Qing was leaning on the pillar of the ancestral hall, he was out of shape, and no one was pretending to be an elder to teach him a lesson.

All the villagers in Wujia Village looked at the front of the hall eagerly.

The bodies of Wu Xingye and Wu Caiyong (farmers) were placed on two bamboo raft beds in front of the ancestral hall.tied.

It was not only Wu Qing who noticed that the amount of bleeding was wrong, but also the villagers of Wujia Village. They immediately asked the villagers who found Wu Xingye's body in the forest yesterday.

"Was there a lot of blood on the place where Xingye died?"

The man answered.

"It's all soaked into the soil. How do you know if there are many? But there are not many places that have been dyed red. It should be not many."

The two corpses both died of blood loss, not much blood flowed out, and both had two holes in their necks.

The villagers of Wujia Village, who didn't know what it meant to protect the scene, moved both corpses to the ancestral hall out of panic.

For the ancestors of the Wu family in the ancestral hall, the glossy black tablets are reflected with a solemn cold light by the sunlight rushing into the hall.

Somewhat comforting.

No one talked about the conflict between Wu Qing and the other families and Wu Bei's family.

The villagers who crowded the ancestral hall were thinking.

kill?Why bother to draw blood?

Snake kill?How can a snake knock on the door?
that……

The third guess made the atmosphere in the ancestral hall even more dull.

There are many strange stories in the countryside, and the villagers are superstitious.

Moreover, Wu Qing also knew that some of the strange stories might still be true.

In a dull atmosphere.Wu Amao's wife's cry was very harsh.Her youngest son was lost and has not been found yet.

Some people couldn't listen anymore, but they didn't dare to tell the woman to shut up, and asked Village Chief Wu,
"Village chief, when will the people who go to the town to report the crime come back?"

Village Chief Wu said impatiently,
"Go and go back once, the soonest it will be late."

"oh oh."

This person was just looking for something to say, so shut up after asking.

At daybreak, Village Chief Wu assigned three young men from the village to go to the town to report the incident.

The reason for sending three young men is for safety reasons.

Now no one in Wujia Village dares to walk the mountain road alone.

No matter what guess...

A gangster who killed two people in a row; a four- to five-meter-long crossing mountain wind; or a dirty thing that only appears in the night talks of ghosts.

It's frightening.They all counted on the police to come down and check it out.

Wu Qing leaned on the pillar of the ancestral hall, tilting his head.

The policemen in the town should have nothing to do with Li Yushi in Yujiang City, right?
Wu Qing didn't know that Li Yushi had fallen out with his student patrol chief Huang.Not to mention the villages and towns below, even in Yujiang City, no patrolman would dare to have anything to do with Li Yushi.
