Chapter 31 31. First Entry
Panzhou Prefecture, E County, Tanxi Village.

Chu Nan entered the village yesterday, and spent some money to live in a farmer's house.

I learned from the farmers that people have died here since a month ago, one person died every night, and now 36 people have died. God, also died in the village.

"Auntie, you mean, in this village, one person dies every night?" Chu Nan was chatting with the old lady in the yard of the farmhouse, looking for clues.

"Yes, one person dies every night, but one day is an exception." The old lady's eyesight is not working well, but her memory is not bad.

"What exception? What day is it?" Chu Nan asked, which might be a clue.

"On the night when the officials came, both officials died on the same night," the old lady said.

Chu Nan wanted to ask something, but at this moment someone came, the old lady's daughter-in-law.

"Mother, didn't Miss Chu give you two taels of silver yesterday? Give it to me." The daughter-in-law's surname is Chen, and everyone calls her Chen Shi.

The old lady's husband's family name is Li, and everyone calls her Mrs. Li.

When Mrs. Li heard that Mrs. Chen asked for money, her face collapsed: "What do you want money for? Didn't I give you money this month?"

"That money is not enough, give it to me quickly!" Chen said roughly.

"No!" Mrs. Li refused directly.

"Do you want to keep it and take it into the coffin? One person dies every day, maybe you will die that day!" Chen said with a vicious face.

"You shameless poor woman, how dare you curse me to death!" Mrs. Li was so angry that she got up to arrest Mrs. Chen.

"Ignore you, you bastard!" Mrs. Chen saw that Mrs. Li lost her temper, and ran away.

After Mrs. Chen ran away, Mrs. Li sat back angrily and said to Chu Nan:
"Miss Chu, I made you laugh."

"It doesn't matter, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite." Chu Nan said.

"Hey, as my daughter-in-law, I only know how to spend money all day long, but I don't know how to make money, and I don't care much about the family, so I take care of my son's wages. I give her a little every month for family expenses. Are you saying I did something wrong?" Mrs. Li stared at Chu Nan with her dim eyes and asked.

"Old lady, I haven't got married yet, and I don't know about these things. You should be busy first, and I'll go out for a while." Chu Nan perfunctory, and then went out. She doesn't like to meddle in other people's family affairs.

There are a total of about 500 households in Tanxi Village, with a population of about [-] people.

A few days before the strange incident started, everyone was in danger and dared not leave the house. After a few days, people found that it was useless to leave the house, and people would still die. Slowly, everyone continued to do what they should do. .

"Wangcai, how do we investigate this weird incident? I have no clue at all." Chu Nan chatted with Tong Wangcai in her pocket.

"I don't have a clue, it's weird." Tong Wangcai comforted Chu Nan.

"Too."

While Chu Nan was chatting with Tong Wangcai while shopping, a lot of people suddenly surrounded the street, including people wearing Jiuji Mountain disciple clothes.

Chu Nan hurried forward to have a look.

"Who the hell killed my Junior Brother!" A disciple of Jiuji Mountain roared in the street, there was a corpse at his feet, the corpse was wearing the clothes of a Jiuji Mountain disciple.

Chu Nan took a closer look, and found that the body was purple all over, but he didn't see any trauma, only the expression was horrifying.

After a while, another group of Jiuji Mountain disciples came.

"Junior Brother Wang Chao, what's going on?" asked a Jiuji Mountain disciple who had just arrived.

"Senior brother Li Fan, my junior brother is dead!" Wang Chao was terrified. His junior brother was fine yesterday, but died inexplicably today.

"How did he die?" Li Fan asked. The village they visited yesterday was separated due to the large number of people. Unexpectedly, only one person died on the first day.

"I don't know. When I woke up, I didn't see my brother go out for a long time. I went in to call him, and found him dead on the bed!" Wang Chao's voice trembled. Junior brother died.

Li Fan knelt down to examine the corpse.

After a long time, he said: "There is no external injury, and there is no trace of poisoning, it seems..."

"What is it like?" A disciple next to him asked.

"It looks like I was scared to death!" Li Fan said.

The hairs of all the disciples stood on end, they were so frightened to death!How scary is this?

"Hey, young people, you just came to our village." At this moment, an old man watching the excitement said.

"Yes, old man, how do you know we just came here?" Li Fan asked.

"Because in the past month, people in our village have died every day, and everyone's death is like this. We are no longer surprised by it." The old man said.

"So many people died, did the villagers find anything? For example, who killed them, or did the dead have anything in common?" Li Fan asked.

"I don't know about this, it seems there is no rule, but before there were two officials from the official family who came to our village, and they died on the first night. Maybe it's easy for people from outside to die." The old man replied.

Then Li Fan asked the old man some questions. Except for outsiders who are easy to die, the other dead are all villagers, and they have nothing to do with each other, and they have nothing in common, like random deaths.

Chu Nan listened for a long time, and secretly used the system's search skills to search around, but found nothing unusual.

When it was time for lunch, Chu Nan went back, Mrs. Li's house was in charge of meals.

There are four people in Mrs. Li's family, a son, daughter-in-law, and a ten-year-old grandson.

Mrs. Li's man died early, she brought up her son Li Da with shit and urine, and married him a wife, and Li Da also knew that his mother was not easy, so he was very filial.

Before eating, Li Da first invited Mrs. Li to the dinner table, and then went to Chu Nan's room to ask Chu Nan to come out for dinner.

When Chu Nan came, the daughter-in-law Chen served the dishes. A plate of pickled vegetables, a bowl of tofu, a plate of chili dipped in water, served with steamed buns, it was dinner tonight.

The daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen, just sat down after serving the dishes, when Mrs. Li slapped the table and scolded:

"There are guests at home, so you cook these dishes?"

"Is there anything wrong with this dish?" Chen asked.

"Ms. Chu gave me a lot of money. Even if there is no fish, I have to get a plate of eggs!" Mrs. Li said angrily, this daughter-in-law really has no brains at all.

"Heh, all the money that Ms. Chu gave fell into your pocket. I don't get a cent. What do I use to buy eggs?" Mrs. Chen was not to be outdone, and got angry when she thought about it. , Where did I get the money to buy meat?

"If you don't have money, don't you want to earn it? Look at the daughter-in-law of Erniu's family next door. She cooks for them in the morning and washes their clothes in the afternoon. She is so capable! It's only you who are delicious and lazy, so you have no money!" Li The old lady gasped.
