Chapter 104
Hearing my question, the two of them glanced at each other and said at the same time, "It's burned!"

"Burn?" I exclaimed and asked, "Why?"

"The Xu family said it was unlucky, so they set it on fire!" said the villager.

This made my face darken, and I couldn't say anything. Seeing that my expression was not right, Jin Shan asked me, "Chuanzi, did you find something?"

I said in a low voice, "That statue was burned, and now someone is burned to death, don't you think it's strange?"

As I said that, I told about the pig statue in the coffin again.

Jin Jinshan should also feel that this is not normal, so he asked me, "Then what should I do?"

I shook my head, said I didn't know, looked at the villager again, and asked him, "Do you still remember what the statue was carved with?"

He thought for a while, and said, "It's wood, with a faint fragrance."

Scented wood?

I thought about it for a while. As far as the woods in the world are concerned, the number of scented woods is very small, and they are generally sandalwood. The aroma is relatively strong, and it is quite pungent when you smell it carefully.

There is also Phoebe, which has an elegant fragrance, and there is also Agarwood, which is not common and should not appear here.The last one is fragrant wood, its scientific name is honey fragrant tree. This kind of wood itself has no fragrance, but the sap has fragrance. Most of the perfumes on the market are extracted from this kind of wood.

I have described the aroma characteristics of these types of wood.

The villager thought about it and said, "It should be sandalwood."

I hummed and asked him again: "When was the statue burned?"

Without thinking about it, he said, "It was like five or six days ago."

After knowing the news, I had some thoughts in my heart and didn't ask any more questions. I thanked the villager and planned to check the corpse. But at this time, the old third Qin was holding two panda eyes. When I came back, I asked him if it was smashed, and he said, he was beaten.

I was stunned, and immediately understood, guessing that he said what he said earlier to the fourth son of the Xu family, and the fourth son of the Xu family is the only enlightened person in the Xu family, listening to what the third son Qin said, he would definitely be furious and beat him up. He is also reasonable.

After thinking this through, I suppressed the smile in my heart and asked him, "Why, did you find out?"

He glared at me and said, "Chuanzi, I will settle this matter with you later."

"Okay, hurry up and get down to business!" I urged him.

He said: "I found out that the second child of the Xu family went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet. However, the fourth child of the Xu family said that the second child went to the town to buy things."

"Buying things?" I muttered, "Did you ask him when he will be back?"

He said: "I asked, and the fourth child of the Xu family said that it should be back at this point, but I haven't seen anyone."

My heart skipped a beat. Judging from the situation, the corpse is likely to be the second child of the Xu family, but it's hard for me to tell.After all, this is just a guess. If it's not the second child of the Xu family, if I say it, it will be scolding. You must know that scolding is the most taboo in our rural areas.

At that moment, I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and followed Jinshan to check the corpse. Unfortunately, the corpse had been burned to black charcoal, and nothing could be seen at all, and I couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman. come out.

In desperation, the few of us had no choice but to give up this idea, and stayed by the side for a long time.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon, then someone from the Xu family finally came, and it was the old couple from the Xu family. The two elders told us with a smile on their faces, saying that the eldest son of his family had gone to work at the Lord Dragon. The son returned to Vulcan's arms again, and he told us to go to his house for dinner to celebrate.

Regarding this statement, the three of us were speechless. The two elders were poisoned by superstition. I wanted to say a few words, but Jin Shan said that everyone has different beliefs.

Hearing what he said, I had no choice but to give up this idea, and followed Jin Shan to his house without saying anything.

Since Xu's family was having a funeral, their house looked messy. Here, I met the fourth child of Xu's family.To be honest, I always thought that the fourth child of the Xu family was a man. Who would have thought that when I arrived at the Xu family, I found out that the fourth child of the Xu family was actually a woman around 30 years old.

She has a good face, a well-proportioned figure, and short hair around her ears. She looks quite seductive. With just such a woman, it is hard for me to imagine that she is not married at the age of 30. In our rural areas, if most women do not go to school, Get married on the 24th and [-]th, and you will not exceed [-] years old at the latest. Once you pass this age, there will be a lot of gossip in the village.

To put it bluntly, you will say that this woman is indiscreet, or that there is something wrong with this woman. In the end, this kind of woman who has passed her age can only have three results. One is to be lonely in this life and die, and the other is to marry an improper Men, the third is to marry outside the province.

So, when I saw the fourth child of the Xu family, I couldn't help staring at her for a while.

Seeing me staring at her, the fourth child of the Xu family didn't speak, but kept staring at me. I don't know if it was my illusion or what happened. I always felt weird when she stared at me, like Relief, but also doubt.

This made me even more confused. Due to the large number of people, I didn't ask, so I stayed at her house with Jin Shan.

After sitting for about seven or eight minutes, the fourth child of the Xu family was busy, poured us a glass of water, and left.

After she left, I immediately said to Jin Shan, "If I guessed correctly, I'm afraid two more Xu family members will die, and the remaining two are likely to be two of the Xu family's six siblings."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Jinshan's expression changed drastically, and he asked me, "Why do you say that?"

I said: "The five elements kill people. Now three people have died, namely wood, water, and fire. The remaining two must have died of metal and earth. There are six brothers in the Xu family. The one who is alive is definitely the whole family." The initiator of the incident."

As soon as the words fell, Jin Jinshan seemed a little unconvinced, so he said that I was too arbitrary, and I said: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the pond in the morning. You can definitely find a statue about the pig near the pond."

Without saying a word, Jin Shan immediately got up and walked out.

As soon as he left, Qin Laosan and I were left in the whole room. Qin Laosan was a person who couldn't stay idle. He took a sip of the water on the table and asked me: "Chuanzi, why do I feel that you are okay with me?" like people?"

I snorted and asked, "Then how do you think I should react?"
