Here Lies The Wicked

Chapter 308 Changxi Village

Changxi village.

This small mountain village was named because it was backed by a stream.

On the lower reaches of Changxi village, there was a village called guo xi village.

Changxi village and guoxi village share a stream, and the source of this stream is the mountain spring.

However, with more than ten years ago, there were more hydro power stations on the mountain, the flow of the stream decreased year by year, and the income of farm and orchard decreased year by year. In order to fight for the limited water source for survival, conflicts broke out in the two neighboring villages in recent years.

In june, the summer fruits were about to ripen, but the ditches were dried up and there was a shortage of water. The fruits of guo xi village did not grow well, which caused many people to complain.

So, just a few days ago, someone took the lead in guo xi village, blocking the water of the long stream overnight, insisting that it was the interception of the long stream, only focusing on irrigation for their own village, completely ignoring the life and death of the downstream village, and then trying to snatch back the water source.

How could anyone in Changxi village admit such a thing?

One party accused the other party of cutting off the stream, and the other refused to admit it, saying that their zhuang family's growth this year was not good, and if they did not believe it, they could go to the fields to have a look.

Money drives people crazy.

For the sake of interests, the two villages later erupted into conflict, resulting in a relatively big fight this year, that night caused more than a dozen vicious incidents that injured and killed one person.

A villager in guoxi village drowned in the stream because he was not treated in time.

The town was alarmed by the deaths. In the middle of the night, a long line of police cars and ambulances drove into the village. After pulling away the bodies and wounded, they took the troublemakers back to the police station for questioning.

Originally, this should have ended.

However, this thing began to develop in a more and more sinister direction.

Ever since the night of the conflict that killed a villager in guo xi village, the changxi village has become more and more restless.

The second night after the death, someone said he saw a face in the floating well water when he pulled out a bucket of water from the well.

The man was so scared that he knocked over the bucket, and then his face, like an egg white, flowed into the sewer pipe along with the water, and his eyes were dead.

No one believed this at first.

However, on the third night of the death, someone died in Changxi village.

The person who died was the villager who claimed to have seen the face in the water and drowned in his own well.

At this time, the villagers had not noticed anything unusual, and only regarded it as an ordinary drowning incident. But on the fourth night of the death of the villagers in guoxi village, another person died in Changxi village. This time, he drowned in the stream.

But this is where the blame lies. The person who died was an old man living alone.

That night, after chatting at the entrance of the village, many old people in the same village saw the old man return to his house. The light was still on at home, and the doors and windows were locked from inside, forming a typical secret room environment.

But the old man's body was found on the riverbank a few miles away the next day.

When the police arrived, they did not find a result. The doors and windows were locked to form a secret room. Except for the traces of the old man's life, they did not find any other traces, such as the traces left by the murderer. At present, the villagers did not even know whether it was a murder or not.

But today, Changxi village is dead again.

Early in the morning, some villagers who got up early to work on the farm found a body floating in the stream.

All of a sudden, there was a riot in the village.

This was the third person in a row to die in changxi village after the villagers in guoxi village died in Changxi village. Changxi village seemed to be cursed and was rapidly causing panic in the village at the rate of one person dying every day.

At this time, a large number of villagers had gathered by the stream.

The whole village, men and women, old and young, gathered here, looking at the bodies floating in the stream, their eyes filled with fear and uneasiness, and no one dared to go down to retrieve the bodies.

Because several old people in the village were holding on to their crutches, preventing several strong men from going down the river to retrieve the bodies.

"This body cannot be salvaged!"

"The bodies in this water cannot be salvaged. This is a dead body in vain. If we salvaged this body, the whole village would be in danger!"

The old men tried their best to stop the villagers from salvaging the bodies in the water.

Although everyone in the village respected the old man, but it was a matter of death, someone still stood up and said, "Who can drown in the water, who is not a young man who died in vain."

"In the past, we have never heard of the taboo of salvaging dead bodies in vain. A few uncles and fathers did not stop us from salvaging corpses. Why did they stop us from salvaging corpses this time? We are barbarians. We dropped out of school before we finished junior high school. We don't understand the general principle. But we all know the basic conscience of the great dead and the safety of the dead. We can't let the bodies in the water float like this, can we?"

Several farmers immediately agreed, saying that the dead were the greatest.

And this person has been floating in the water, it is not a matter. This stream is the water that feeds the life of the whole village. Every day the villagers come in and out, they have to pass through this stream.

Not to mention that adults look shabby and frighten children, no one can take the responsibility.

Who doesn't protect their children like a calf?

The old men stamped the ground with crutches and gasped, "Confused! Confused!"

"Look at the bodies floating in the water. What's the difference between them and those who drowned before?"

With this reminder, the villagers around them all looked at the bodies in the water. They looked at the bodies floating in the water and felt something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

An old man sighed and reminded him, "Let me ask you, did the bodies you saw before float up or back up?"

"Have any of you ever seen a corpse with only one pair of feet on it?"

After such a reminder, everyone looked again, and suddenly a cold air rushed straight up from the tailbone to the head of the heavenly spirit lid. It was sunny and bright in the day, and felt cold all over.

The bodies in the water were indeed floating on their heads and feet.

It was the first time they had seen such a strange way to die.

"Then what should we do? Should we keep the body in the water?" A villager's voice trembled, and he said in fear and uneasiness.

At this moment, regardless of whether you believe in feudalistic superstition or not, this is the first time a person has seen such a strange way to die, he will feel a chill behind his back.

"Only one person can save our village. He has seen more corpses than the whole village."

"The way we die on this foot was told by a few of us old men alone when we were young. People who died crossly could not breathe, and their resentment was stuck in their throats, so they would float on their heads and feet in the water."

"Get someone to look for Wang Laoliu at the west end of the village. He has a plan."

Wang Laoliu?

Isn't this Wang Youcai's grandfather?

"I, I heard from Wang Youcai that his grandfather had been away from the village for a few days..."

Among the villagers, a child the same age as Wang Youcai shouted in the crowd.
