Weird Talker

Chapter 28 Celebration Suspension
August [-]th, at noon.

The Huayang Festival in Xianyang Village is held on time.

There was a man standing in front of Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing. After listening to his speech, Liu Jingqing turned pale and looked at him in disbelief: "You are committing a crime!"

This man's name is Chen Rui, and he was chosen by the mob to tell Qin Manjiang everything and ask for help.

He fully described what happened on the night of August [-], including how he picked Li Rong, how he took her into the ancestral hall, how he controlled her, how he put horns on her and put her on sheepskin.

Including the last... Li Rong, who had already successfully transformed into a sheep, disappeared strangely.

The appalling incident made Liu Jingqing unable to believe that it happened in this day and age.

"I...I know, but since ancient times, everyone has done this! I can't help it...we can't do it..."

Chen Rui's body was trembling at first, but as he spoke, his emotions started to get agitated.

"The village is favored by the fairy sheep, but it is also cursed by the fairy sheep! If we don't do this, we can't live... Have you seen it... this village, these floor tiles, food, population, those houses... are all fairy sheep bestowed!"

"When I was young, my family could only smell meat once a month. Poverty...was more terrifying than death!" Chen Rui's eyes flushed with excitement, "Isn't it just killing people? Killing one person in three years can grant two wishes , isn't it worth it?"

Chen Rui's speech made Liu Jingqing's hair stand on end. Only then did she realize what kind of place this is.

Suddenly, a sound of firecrackers made Liu Jingqing tremble all over.

She turned her head to look, and it turned out that when they were talking, the Sheep Hua Festival, hosted by the head of the Wang family, Wang Ju, had already officially started.

When the three stood at the corner of the square and looked around, dozens of tables of dishes, large and small, had already been set up in the village, and the black sheep raised by every household were also brought out, and they were allowed to eat first on the table. The slightest measure, tramples a table of good dishes to pieces when they are on the table, and even pulls them while eating, but people clap their hands and applaud. As long as a sheep is on their table and touches their dishes, they will be so happy mouth.

The sound of firecrackers, the bleating of sheep, the eager cheering and discussion of the people, the speech of the head of the Wang family holding a microphone, the scene in Xianyang Village is lively and strange at this moment.

"If what you said is true, when the lottery is selected later, who should play the role of the fairy sheep?" Qin Manjiang didn't seem to care much about Chen Rui's narration just now, but continued to ask, "It was concocted by you Li Rong who became a fairy sheep has disappeared, so who is the fairy sheep that appeared today?"

"It's not missing! It's turned into a ghost, she's asking for her life!" Chen Rui trembled all over, "You saw that Uncle Chen died, Zhang Yang, who was as old as us this morning, also died, and... you don't know , Our peers guarding the ancestral hall are also dead! They are all dead!"

"You said you have a way, you must save us!" Chen Rui's eyes were red, and amidst the fierce firecrackers, he took a step forward and grabbed Qin Manjiang's collar, "I don't care if you are a liar or someone who can really exorcise ghosts!" Man, you said that you have a way, if you pretend to be stupid, we will kill you first!"

"Oh?" Qin Manjiang is taller than Chen Rui. Although he grabbed the collar at the moment, he still stared at Chen Rui condescendingly, and said, "If you don't let go, I will take away Li Rong's revenge. Way to tell everyone else, except you."

"Or, tell your friends that as long as they kill you, Li Rong will stop revenge." Qin Manjiang squeezed his hand, took it off slowly, and straightened his collar, "Do you think they will believe it?"

Chen Rui's face turned pale and he was speechless.

Qin Manjiang was expressionless, leaned into his ear, and whispered, "Begging for help should not be the attitude."

Then he looked at Liu Jingqing: "Let's go."

Just as Chen Rui was about to say something, he saw Qin Manjiang turned sideways slightly and said, "Go back, I promised to help."

Liu Jingqing also came back to her senses, and quickly followed Qin Manjiang, not even looking at Chen Rui when passing by him.

"Mr. Qin, don't we...don't need to ask him?" Liu Jingqing asked.

Qin Manjiang glanced at her suspiciously. Didn't she always call herself Classmate Qin?

Still, that's not a huge deal.

Qin Manjiang shook his head and said: "He has explained the cause and effect clearly enough, the question now is who is the fairy sheep who replaced Li Rong."

He looked at the "Xianyang" who was being carried by people and was slowly approaching on a float, and he also had doubts in his heart.

"I... actually have a question." Liu Jingqing said in a low voice.

"Really?" Qin Manjiang looked at the float and responded, "What kind of question?"

Liu Jingqing followed Qin Manjiang's gaze and looked at the floats. The sound of firecrackers and cheers was incompatible with the horrible rituals going on behind the scenes in this village. It's Li Rong, I think... she has no reason to kill us at all."

She turned her head to look at Qin Manjiang: "All the people who died now are people who have harmed her. We seem to..."

"Last night, the toilet." Qin Manjiang simply mentioned two words, and Liu Jingqing fell silent.

Qin Manjiang didn't turn his head to accuse her, but just calmly looked at the float that was slowly being carried over, and said: "What is certain now is that although Li Rong is missing, the deceased is indeed the person who killed her, but That ghost may not be Li Rong."

"Ah?" Liu Jingqing didn't want to understand this logic.

"I'm thinking," Qin Manjiang said in a low voice, "Chen Rui mentioned just now that in the three-year killing ceremony, they can make two wishes, one from the person who was chosen to become a fairy sheep, and the second from the person who was selected as a fairy sheep." The lucky ones chosen."

"However, at the cost of his own death, he became a fairy sheep. How could the person who became a fairy sheep not feel resentment, and how could he not take revenge?"

"Miss Xiaoran mentioned that these six families have been developed in the past 20 years. Once every three years, it is indeed enough for each of them to make a wish, but...there are six more wishes to become the fairy sheep themselves ?”

Qin Manjiang was silent for a moment, looked at Wang Ju who was standing on the high platform, and said, "They can make their family members lucky and make wishes to the fairy sheep, but they can't control the wishes of the fairy sheep themselves."

Liu Jingqing finally understood this logic, yes...it has been 20 years, if revenge is desired, then the person who became a fairy sheep has already made a wish for revenge.

"So, I have two ideas," Qin Manjiang looked away, and gave Liu Jingqing a hand, "Go, go and see who the fairy sheep is."

Two thoughts?

What is it?
which two?
Liu Jingqing was full of doubts, and she was dragged to the central square of the village, where the float on which "Xianyang" was riding had also been carried.

The smell at the scene was not pleasant. The body odor of people, the smell of sheep, the smell of food, the smell of gunpowder after the firecrackers were set off, and the excrement of sheep were all mixed together, making people frown.

But no one cared.

At this moment, the square was full of people, and all of them were facing the central high platform, or more precisely, they were fanatically looking at the floats on that high platform.

"Wang Ju from the Wang family? Why is Wang Ju hosting this year? Is he going to be the village chief?"

"I don't know, but the old village chief is in his 90s, so he shouldn't be able to do it anymore..."

"Never mind him, look, the lottery has begun!"

With a smile on his face, Wang Ju walked up to the high platform, holding a microphone in his hand, and picked up a sealed box.

Then, he opened the outer layer of the box from the front, revealing the glass inside and... densely written notes.

Each note has a name written on it, and the person who is drawn by the fairy sheep is the lucky one for three years.

You can wish on it.

Everyone held their breath, watching Wang Ju carry the box to Xianyang's float.

Then, Wang Ju lifted the curtain of the float.

A completely unfamiliar face of Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing appeared in the float, but the people in the village seemed to know each other.

"Huh? Isn't that Chen Ping from the Chen family? His mother has been elected as a fairy sheep before, and this time it's his turn again?!"

"I heard that this year's fairy sheep is not Li Rong, the daughter of the Li family?"

"Who knows..."

Chen Ping?

This name is exactly the same as that of Chen Ping, who is also a player this time, and that Brother Chen also mentioned it last night.

Is it pure coincidence, or is there some kind of connection?

For a while, Qin Manjiang couldn't come to a conclusion.

People's doubts and discussions were intertwined in the square, but all the voices stopped abruptly the moment Chen Ping put his hand into the box with a smile on his face.

It's started, get me... definitely get me!
Everyone's heart is calling, their heartbeat is accelerating, and the atmosphere in the whole square is oppressive and warm.

At this moment, the gloomy sky suddenly became windy.

I don't know which direction the wind is blowing from, whimpering like crying.

Suddenly, a corpse fell from the sky!

"boom--"

The body fell on the high platform, "Xianyang" Chen Ping stopped drawing lots, and the entire square where the event was held was also completely silent.

Wang Ju almost lost his grip on the microphone. He looked in horror at the body that fell on the high platform. This is...

The familiar clothes, the old body, the upper body that was torn to bloody flesh, the temples were completely smashed, exposing the scarlet skull.

"village head!!!"

"It's the village chief!"

"what!!!!!"

Screams kept coming and going, the old village chief kept his eyes wide open until his death, blood flowed from his temples that had been dug out with two big holes, his dilated pupils looked at everyone under the high platform, his mouth was gurgling and bubbling with blood , seemed to want to say something, but couldn't speak.

"pause!"

"The festival is suspended!"

"Come on people!"

Wang Ju's face was as white as paper, and he shouted with a microphone.

Soon, someone came up and stuffed Chen Ping into the float, and carried it down again.

Wang Ju, as if mourning his concubine, left the scene and ran in another direction without looking back.

Qin Manjiang has been staring at him, and immediately said to Liu Jingqing:

"Go, follow him."

　There will be another chapter in a while, see you all in a while!
