Chapter 369 Four Gates (38)

But then again, even the gambler Su said so, what else could I say, so I suppressed my doubts, didn't say anything, just sat where I was, motionless.

After waiting for about 2 minutes, Guo Zhen came back with an empty basin.

This time, when passing by me, he walked straight past without saying a word.

This made me depressed. I didn't know what to say to him, so I felt that sitting here was completely redundant. After all, my family members said it, so don't ask me to investigate the cause of death.

No, after sitting for about five or six minutes, Guo Zhen and Guo Zhen were busy with various things, and regarded me and the gambling ghost Su as air.

Whenever I want to get close to the bed, Guo Zhen will stop me immediately.

In desperation, I had no choice but to say goodbye. As for the death of the old village chief, I was really helpless.

But Gambling Ghost Su didn't think so. He kept whispering in his ear that no matter what, he had to let me see the old village chief's body.

Regarding this, I was very depressed, but I couldn't say anything, so I could only sit patiently at the old village head's house for another half an hour.

For me, this half hour was really like sitting on pins and needles. In the end, I really didn't want to waste time here, and I didn't care about the persuasion of the gambling ghost Su, so I walked towards the door.

When I walked to the door, Guo Zhen suddenly spoke, and he said, "Wait a minute."

I stopped and turned my head to look at Guo Zhen. He was holding a notebook in his hand. The notebook looked quite old and slightly yellowed.

"Anything else?"

I asked subconsciously.

He didn't say anything, and threw the small notebook in his hand towards me.

I took the book, and before I had time to open it, I heard Guo Zhen speak again. He said, "It's fine for you alone to know. If you let the second person know, you will suffer retribution."

When he said this, his tone was extremely hoarse, and there was a hint of anger in it.

Seeing this, I didn't say anything, just said a word in a low voice, and then walked outside with my notebook, and that gambler Su also followed.

On the way, according to Gambler Su's intention, he asked me to go to his house for a sit-down.

To be honest, I want to go, after all, I came to Beef Bristle Village this time because of Su Xiaoman, but considering that the gambling ghost Su is a member of the Four Great Families, I refused.

The reason is simple, I am afraid that his identity will affect my consideration.

At that moment, I immediately rejected his proposal and walked towards the homes of all the village chiefs.

That gambler Su wanted to follow, I waved the notebook in my hand, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, my boss said that no one else should know about the things in this notebook."

The gambler Su slapped a haha ​​when he heard what I said, and parted ways with me without saying anything else.

When I returned to the village chief’s house, the village chief seemed to have gone to the old village chief’s house. There was only one child left in the house. I went straight to the bedroom, locked the door, and opened the book to read.

The fonts written on this book are traditional characters, but fortunately I have a solid foundation in learning, so I know all the characters on it.

However, what I can't understand is that I turned seven or eight pages, and the things recorded in this book are all trivial things in life, and there is no mention of the four major gates, let alone the cause of death of the old village chief .

It's weird, it's just an ordinary notebook, why did Guo Zhen give me this?
I muttered something, and I didn't bother to turn to the previous ones. I turned to the last page, and I saw a date, 2003, December 12th, sunny.

I rubbed my eyes vigorously, December 12th, isn't it today?

At the moment, I immediately looked down.

"The old man knows that he hates me, and he also knows that he wants to kill the old man to relieve the anger in his heart. However, the old man is old and doesn't want to stain his hands, so he can hang himself to relieve the hatred in his heart. I hope he can let the old man's family go. , May there be no more hatred in the world, never write."

I read the simple lines three times in a daze, and there was only one thought in my mind, did the old village chief really commit suicide?
But, that's not right, the old village chief said above that he hanged himself, but to explain it literally, hanging himself should be suicide by hanging.

However, the old scholar cut his throat with a dagger.

This is inconsistent with the suicide mentioned above!

It’s okay not to think about it, but when I think about it, I become more and more confused. Logically speaking, Guo Zhen must have read this diary. In other words, he should also know the difference between hanging himself and a dagger.

Then the problem is coming.

Since Guo Zhen has read this diary and knows the difference between hanging himself and a dagger, why is he still unwilling to let me check the old village chief's body.

Without any hesitation, I immediately turned to the previous page of the book.

It says, 2003, December 12th, sunny.

"Last night, the old man had a dream. He dreamed that the flood had reached the gate of heaven, and there were four gates standing on top of the gate. They were coming, and they were coming for revenge. This disaster will be repeated in Niutan village as it was 20 years ago. The debts of those years should be paid off.”

Looking at this page, I frowned, and turned to the front again. The date on it was February 2003, 2, and the records were all about family matters, and there was no news about the Four Great Gates.

This aroused my curiosity, and I flipped through several pages in a row. To my disappointment, it still recorded some trivial things in life.

According to my idea, I would go to 20 years ago immediately, but since the old village chief didn't keep a diary every day, it was extremely difficult to look up.

After flipping through about 20 pages, there is no date on it. It is really difficult to find news from [-] years ago.

In the end, there was nothing I could do, so I had to turn page by page.

Just like that, after flipping through for a long time, the first sentence at the beginning of this piece of paper caught my attention.

It said: "The old man met a benefactor in his life today. His name is Peng Yumen. This young man is very capable."

Further down but no more.

I quickly turned a page backwards, and there were only four words on this page, which was horrific.

Turning forward are some trivial matters of life.

Heck, judging from the short content of this page, it should be a record of the major events that happened 20 years ago.

However, only four words were used to describe this, and it didn't write much.

This is not right, with the old village head's habit of keeping a diary, he should be able to write down the whole process of the whole thing!

With this kind of doubt, I kept flipping through a few pages, but to my disappointment, the above records were all trivial things in life, only those two pages recorded a little bit of things.

At the moment, I kept flipping through those two pages.

If I guessed right, the Peng Yumen recorded by the old village chief should be Captain Peng's father, and the tragic description on the second page should describe the scene of the incident 20 years ago.
