The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 182 The weird Jianjia Village
hair?

Everyone looked at each other, they had only heard about this today.

"Is there anyone missing in the village?" Yao Zhuoyu asked.

The woman shook her head: "No, everyone is here."

That's strange. Since it's hair and no one was injured, where did this hair come from?

He said to Xu Anan: "Miss, let's go in and take a look? How about going to Old Man Jian's house first?"

Xu Anan nodded and walked forward. The Yamen officer let her go. The woman stood up and wiped her tears to follow the team. Because officials came from the capital, all the villagers in the village spontaneously came out of the yard.

Jia Ying was stunned by the sight of these villagers: "Why don't they have any expression at all? They look like ghosts with their dull faces."

The woman sighed and explained: "Who in the village can laugh when something like this happens? At first, everyone was afraid of getting excited, but slowly they calmed down and that's it. Maybe they also felt numb."

Jia Ying tried not to look at the villagers. His face was expressionless and his pupils were so empty that it made people panic.

After receiving the news, Village Chief Jian rushed over. He was gray-haired and already in his sixties, but his actions were quite nimble. Seeing Yao Zhuoyu and others was like seeing a savior.

Zhou Zicheng said: "Village Chief Jian, take us to Old Man Jian's house."

Old Man Jian's home is a bit remote. It is surrounded by wooden fences at the foot of the mountain. He lives in a thatched house and his family is poor. When he sees guests coming, he opens the courtyard door to welcome them.

He nodded and bowed: "Hello, gentlemen."

Yao Zhuoyu asked: "Are you the one who first reported the crime?"

Old man Jian nodded sadly: "It's the old man."

The yard was very quiet. Zhou Zicheng looked around: "You are the only one in your home?"

"No, I still have a son. My daughter-in-law just gave birth to her grandson three months ago. She is breastfeeding the child at home."

"Why doesn't your son come out?"

Speaking of this, Old Man Jian began to worry again: "My son is introverted and afraid of strangers. I was afraid that he would offend the officials, so I asked him to take care of the children in the house."

Jia Ying quietly walked to Xu Anan's side and said, "Miss, is there anything strange?"

Xu Anan shook her head and frowned. There was no Yin Qi here. Not only here, but also in the whole village. She looked at Old Man Jian and said, "Is it convenient for your son to come out?"

"This..." Old Man Jian hesitated: "Let me go in and ask."

He entered the house and closed the door tightly.

Yao Zhuoyu frowned: "Why is this family behaving so weirdly?"

Village Chief Jian was used to it: "His son has mental problems. We are from the same village. He hardly sees his son for a year. He hides at home all day long. He is like a mouse that cannot see the light. No one can persuade him. , the villagers simply ignored it."

"What symptom is this?"

Xu Anan thought for a while: "It should be a psychological problem. He is autistic. He only moves around in his own small place."

After she finished speaking, Old Jian came out, accompanied by a woman holding a child. The child kept crying and she kept coaxing him.

Old Jian looked troubled: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, my son refused to meet strangers, so I called my wife out." Old Jian's daughter-in-law's surname is Sun at home, and everyone in the village calls her Sun Sanniang.

Sun Sanniang is good-looking, with an oval face, white skin, curved eyebrows, and a pair of almond eyes. She holds the child in her hands and coaxes her. She is a little annoyed because the child keeps crying and doesn't know what to do.

Only then did Old Man Jian take the child over and coax him: "Sanniang, these are the adults who are here to handle the case this time."

Sun Sanniang saluted only when her hands were free. She said apologetically: "Sanniang has met all your lords. My husband-in-law is a little sick today. I cannot come to greet you. Please forgive me."

Zhou Zicheng raised his hand: "It doesn't matter."

It was not easy for old man Jian to coax his grandson to stop crying, so he handed it to Sun Sanniang. The child woke up and started crying again.

Sun Sanniang was extremely angry, but she couldn't hold back her tears: "The chickens at home are gone, and I have no milk to feed. The child is so hungry that he cries all night long, and the women don't know what to do, and they are beaten again and again." I was reluctant to beat him, but he was hungry and the women couldn’t feed him without milk.”

Old man Jian felt sorry for his grandson: "I'll go make some rice cereal for him."

Old Jian's family all returned to the house again. Village Chief Jian shook his head and sighed: "Old Jian's family finally saved some money and bought some chickens, just to let the chickens lay eggs for his daughter-in-law's confinement. Now that the chickens are gone, the money is gone." No, I can't afford good food, Sun Sanniang has no milk, and the child is so hungry that he cries at night."

"Several times, the villagers listened to the children crying for a long time, and then were slowly coaxed to sleep."

"The people in the village wanted to help their family, but who knew that if his chickens were gone, then the other villagers' chickens would be gone. Now there are no more chickens in the village, all the livestock are gone."

Xu Anan glanced at the half-opened courtyard door and asked, "Are the pigs and cows gone?"

"These are still there. We sent them out because we were afraid that the pigs and cows would suffer, so we sent them to relatives' homes in other villages. Then things started to suck people. The village was also sealed off, and people from our village also came out. Not going."

After roughly understanding the truth, Yao Zhuoyu looked at Xu Anan and asked, "Miss, can you see anything?"

Village Chief Jian also looked at Xu Anan. In this dusty village, she was a beautiful sight. When she walked out of Old Jian's yard, she happened to encounter a mouse.

This mouse was not afraid of people either. When he saw people coming, he still stopped where he was. Village Chief Jian quickly drove him away, and then the mouse escaped through the hole.

"Without the animals in the village, rats have become rampant. You can see rats passing through the village in broad daylight."

Speaking of rats, Village Chief Jian was helpless. They were dirty and disgusting things, and he was afraid they would stain the eyes of these noble people.

The villagers who were in each yard just now closed the doors tightly again at some point, and the whole village seemed empty.

"No one in the village is active during the day?"

Village Chief Jian stroked his gray beard: "It turns out they were walking around. After two people died, they were afraid to go out, fearing that the next victim would be them. If the adults hadn't come today, they wouldn't have gone out. "

"Are those black hair still there?" Xu Anan asked.

Village Chief Jian's expression changed, and then he nodded: "Here, we don't dare to move."

"Take us to see."

The black hair was not far from Old Man Jian's house and was hidden in the grass on the roadside. Jia Yong picked it out with a stick. He covered his nose and turned pale: "Has this hair been soaked in a manure pit? Why is it like this?" Smelly!"

As we got closer, the smell floated in the air. The smell was disgusting.

Yao Zhuoyu covered his nose with his sleeve: "This smells a bit like a rotting corpse." He confirmed again: "Are you sure there are no other victims in the village except that man?"
