Chapter 314 Protecting the Village
It was the time for work in the early morning, and countless vehicles were let go of the red light on the street that had been holding back for a long time. After the traffic cleared, there was no one on the other side.

Xiaoyan wanted to chase after her, but was grabbed by Chen Chen. In this situation, she was really dangerous by herself.

Chen Chen signaled to pull the flustered fried dough stick shop owner up first.

At the same time, the proprietress who was calling guests at other tables also noticed this, came over and asked:

"Old Li, what are you doing?"

Seeing that there was no one on the other side of the street, the little boss still hid behind the desk with lingering fear and dared not come out.

Seeing his reaction like this, Chen Chen leaned forward slightly, comforting him and saying:

"Don't be afraid, people have already gone far!"

The little boss didn't believe it, and he searched for a long time with flustered eyes. After confirming that there was no one, he came out to sit down and rest, cursing:
"What's going on, it's still in broad daylight!"

It was the meal time, and during this short period of time, many guests came one after another. The proprietress complained a few words to him, and quickly picked up the tongs that were thrown on the ground, wiped them, and went to the frying pan to fry fried dough sticks.

Seeing that the boss was undecided, Xiaoyan took the initiative to say:

"Take a good rest first, don't worry, I'll help Auntie!" After speaking, he gave Chen Chen a wink and went to help.

Chen Chen seized the opportunity and continued to probe and ask:
"Boss, don't be afraid. I've seen a lot of ghosts. I'm not living well. Tell me, do you know the man across the street just now?"

He was panting heavily, his chest heaved non-stop, and the sweat on his forehead was still dripping. He was obviously really scared. He stared at Chen Chen doubtfully and said:
"Why, you saw it too?"

"Of course, I also know a little bit, can you tell me, I heard you call him Qian Baogen?"

Boss Li grinned when he heard the words, "That's right, that's Qian Baogen from our village! We used to play mahjong together when we were young!"

Chen Chen glanced at the location on the other side of the street, and confirmed again:
"It's a bit far away, you really see it clearly!"

Boss Li nodded firmly, "This is what I said, if I didn't see clearly, would I be so scared, it would be him!"

Chen Chen was secretly delighted, and hurriedly asked:
"Where is he from? Are you two familiar?"

The boss leaned on his thighs with both hands, and seemed a little reluctant to open his mouth, so Chen Chen had no choice but to lie.

"Let me tell you straight, I'm here to catch him, otherwise, why do you think it's such a coincidence? Not only can I see him, but I also know that he is a teacher, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, the boss exclaimed when he heard it.

"Oh, you know that!"

His eyes lit up, and he believed it. He honestly lowered his voice and said, "We are all from Dongkui County!"

"Dongkui Mountain in Dongkui County, Dongkui Village in Dongkui Mountain, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" the shop owner said a few words in succession, and prayed with his hands together, "Master, you even know our Dongkui Village, but it's amazing, why did he come to find me? Is there something missing there?" Are you playing mahjong?"

Finally being able to sit on the real Yuxuzi is the truth of Teacher Qian. Whether it is his identity as a monk in Zhongnanshan or the identity of Teacher Qian, it has been impossible to find out. Chen Chen thanked Gu Zuofeng for giving him this great gift. The survivors of Dongkui Village were also curious, and said slowly:

"To tell you the truth, not only have I heard of Dongkui Village, but I also know that there was a fire there 30 years ago. Not long after the fire, the whole village died. How did you escape?"

The boss wiped his sweat with his cuff, looked at his age, recalled what happened back then, his face was still ashen and dignified.

"Our village is feudal and autistic. Several generations have guarded a few acres of fertile land. I am one of the few. I came out to work! I didn't catch up when the Gu family caught fire. I took my own life, but my parents and brothers died. It's inside!"

Chen Chen had met Gu Renpan and a friend named Jiang Ling, and the situation of the two of them sounded similar.

"Then what kind of person was Qian Baogen when he was alive?"

"He" mentioned these sad things about his parents and friends, and the boss wiped away his tears.

"He teaches in the school in our village. He is the only son in the family. The teacher is quite decent. Everyone likes to play mahjong with him. He doesn't get angry when he loses money. If he wins, he invites everyone to eat at home. When he was alive, he was a good man!"

It seems that Yu Xuzi's normal image of decency is not pretended by him, but is brought by the owner of his body before his death. It is a pity that it is used on him now!

"Then when did he die? How did he die? Was it before you left or after you left?"

The boss looked up and thought for a while.

"Before, I remember clearly that he was seriously ill that year. When I went to visit his home, he heard that I was going to travel far away, and he also knew that my family was poor, so he gave the new set of bedding that the county gave to the teacher. I gave it to me, it’s actually quite strange, such a good person, who is usually not unharmed, will fall if he says he will fall!”

Dongkui Village was the earliest human skin base, and Chen Chen had reason to believe that Qian Baogen definitely did not die a natural death, it was more like being captured by Yu Xuzi and took the human skin.

Chen Chen thought about this in his heart, and asked one more question:
"By the way, did you have any contact with the Gu family when you were living in the village?"

The boss shook his head.

"The Gu family who live in a small three-story building? I haven't met them before. Their family is weird. They are famous in our village and rarely walk around with people!"

After speaking, I suddenly remembered something.

"Huh? Speaking of this, I remembered! That day, when I went to see Qian Baogen, the daughter-in-law of the Gu family happened to be there too!"

"Zhong Yinhong?"

"It's her! Seeing me, I left. I was taken aback at the time, so I asked Baogen if he had an affair with his wife. Baogen told me that the woman was here to see a doctor for him!"

"See a doctor? Does Zhong Yinhong know medicine?"

The boss waved his hands one after another, "I've never heard of it, so I asked Baogen how he felt, and he said that it did have some effect, but it was fine after the treatment, and it changed back after a few days, always like this over and over again! In the end, the person still I didn’t keep it. I remember that on the day of Baogen’s funeral, I also saw Zhong Yinhong. She was not with everyone, she was crying behind the funeral crowd far away, and I even asked the child to give her the paper.”

"Lao Li!" While chatting, the proprietress turned around and yelled out her waist, which made him tremble all over in fright!
"It's still resting, what kind of epilepsy is smoking, let the little girl help you work, what does it have to do with you, you still have to pay the salary!"

The stall owner is a strict wife, so he didn't care about being afraid, so he hurriedly responded, "Here we come!" When he got up, he begged Chen Chen worriedly:

"Qian Baogen was a good person before he was alive, and he certainly wasn't an evil ghost after death. I think he might just come to see me. If you really want to catch him, tell him well, but don't be like the one on TV. What's the matter, okay?"

After receiving repeated assurances from Chen Chen, the boss walked away in peace.

While waiting for the bearded man to pick him up by car, Xiaoyan asked how the two of them chatted, and asked Qian Baogen, who was also the origin of Yuxuzi.

Chen Chen looked at the rising sun in the distance, bathed in the warm sunlight, leaned into Xiaoyan's arms on purpose and said:
"We have confirmed Gu Zuofeng's character through Gu Zhou's suicide note, Seventh Aunt's feedback, and Dai Meiyu's personal experience, right?"

"That's right!" Xiaoyan didn't know why.

"Actually, if you think about it, even the evaluations you get from the voices of Zhou Guanfu, Jiang Ling, the old county magistrate, and others who have had real contact with the Gu family are just that the Gu family is strange and withdrawn. They lived in the village. These years, it can be said that we have been getting along peacefully! Right?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I once said that since Dongkui Village is the first supply of human skins, if it is inseparable from Yuxuzi, the lives of people in that village may not be responsible for the Gu family! I even want to add one more thing now. "

Chen Chen wrapped up his clothes, stared at Xiaoyan's bright eyes, and said earnestly:
"The fire in the Gu family, Gu Zuofeng, Zhong Yinhong, and Gu Renpan died, and the whole village was devastated. Perhaps, they were the ones who had been guarding Dongkui Village during their lifetime?"
