To find out what happened in the village, the first target is obviously who.
Lin Luo, Tong Tong and Zhao Shuang decided to start the investigation from the local women.
Then they looked around for the old people or women, trying to get clues from them, and soon they returned to the familiar square.
They asked the women around them if there were any strange or weird events, but at first, these women looked at them with curious and vigilant eyes, as if they were puzzled by their arrival.
However, when Zhao Shuang took out the university certificate, the women's attitude changed instantly.
These women seemed to have a natural liking for college students, and they took the initiative to tell various stories.
One of the women put the washed bowls in a basin beside her. She looked at Lin Luo and the other two and said excitedly: "Let me tell you, every night, there is always a woman crying in the mountain behind our village. Now no one dares to go there at night."
Another woman then added: "Not only at night, but even during the day, few people dare to go there." Someone else echoed: "Yes, you see, didn't more than a dozen people dare to go to cut bamboo this time?"
"I remember that last time Li Sanniang went to collect herbs at night, she said that after she went up the mountain, she almost couldn't get out after collecting the herbs, as if she had encountered a ghost wall."
Someone even mentioned: "The big tree at the entrance of the village will hear the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling every night."
Listening to the women talking to each other, everyone had a serious expression on their faces, as if these things really happened.
The three of them looked at each other, and Zhao Shuang asked again, with a faint smile on her face: "Ladies, are there any special festivals in our village?"
This is what the three of them discussed on the way here. Although their mission is to find strange stories in the village, they are most curious about the festival that happens once every ten years.
But the village chief had explained before that this is about the village's luck and it is impossible to say it openly. If they ask openly, it will definitely arouse the village's vigilance and dissatisfaction.
So they just try to listen in from the side and see if they can get some useful clues.
Hearing Zhao Shuang's words, several women washing dishes looked at each other in confusion.
"There are no special festivals, right?"
"To be honest, our village only has a sacrificial festival in two days."
After a pause, under the gaze of Lin Luo and others, the woman seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly closed her mouth, looking around in a panic. The other women seemed to be afraid of something, and they lowered their heads to wash the dishes and stopped talking.
"I, I don't know." She looked around and glanced at Lin Luo and the others, and explained in a panic.
Lin Luo obviously noticed something was wrong with the woman.
He thought that this sacrificial festival might be related to the strange stories they were looking for, and might even involve the village's luck.
But looking at the nervous looks of these women, it was obviously impossible to get other useful information from them.
So the three decided to change their target and continue looking for clues.
They asked other people and heard seven or eight strange stories, but they only knew a name for the village's festival three days later - the sacrificial day.
Just as the three continued to ask around, Lin Luo's eyes suddenly stopped at a back figure not far away, and he could not help but slowly said: "I think we should go ask that little girl."
Hearing this, Tong Tong and Zhao Shuang's eyes involuntarily followed the direction of Lin Luo's sight.
A girl with a ponytail, wearing red clothes and an apron, was struggling to carry a bucket of water.
After the three looked at each other, they walked towards the girl without hesitation. When they walked to the girl, Lin Luo immediately stepped forward to help take the bucket full of water and helped her pour the water into the large water tank.
When they got closer, Lin Luo and the other two found that the little girl of the Li family was a little thin and had dark skin.
"Thank you."
The little girl wiped the sweat off her head and smiled at Lin Luo to thank him. Then she looked at the few people in confusion and said, "Are you three guests of the village?"
"Not guests, just ordinary tourists." Zhao Shuang said hurriedly. She felt a little uncomfortable with the word "guest".
"Guests, thank you." However, the little girl didn't seem to hear what Zhao Shuang said. She had a big smile on her dark face, showing her white teeth, which looked particularly innocent.
"You are the little sister of the Li family, right?" Lin Luo suddenly remembered the conversation between the two young men during the meal and smiled softly.
"Yes." The little sister of the Li family nodded vigorously, her eyes full of curiosity.Lin Luo looked around and asked with pretended curiosity: "Everyone in your village should have the surname Li, right?"
The little sister of the Li family raised her head, looked at Lin Luo, nodded innocently and replied: "Yes, everyone in our village has the surname Li."
Lin Luo glanced at the square, and then continued to ask: "Aren't you afraid of calling the wrong name? Isn't the name of the little sister of the Li family a little too popular?"
The little sister of the Li family looked at Lin Luo with some doubts, with confusion and confusion in her eyes. Although she didn't understand the meaning of the latter sentence, she had her own understanding of the former sentence.
So, she said: "It won't be wrong, because I am the only little sister of the Li family in our village now." After saying that, she blinked her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and revealed a smug smile.
With a gleam in his eyes, Lin Luo asked curiously, "Oh?! Why is that?"
Li's younger sister smiled and said, "Because we are the only sister in our village, and they are twin sisters, and my sister is a college student."
She added proudly, "The only college student in our village."
"By the way, Li's younger sister, what is your real name?" Lin Luo asked Li Xiaomei.
"Li Xiaomei." She replied.
Hearing this name, Lin Luo and Zhao Shuang were both a little surprised. They looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh that this name was really simple and direct!
"Then your sister is Li Damei?" Lin Luo asked with a smile.
"Yes." Li Xiaomei answered naively.
Lin Luo looked around. They were standing at the edge of the square, and there was no one else around. He smiled softly, and then asked Li Xiaomei: "Li Xiaomei, do you know what to sacrifice on the day after tomorrow?"
Li Xiaomei thought hard for a while, and finally shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Lin Luo, Zhao Shuang and Tong Tong asked some other questions, but Li Xiaomei still knew nothing.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. The three had to leave in a hurry and walked towards the yard.
The sky gradually darkened, and the night sky was dotted with stars, like gems inlaid on the black sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
There were fewer and fewer people in the square, and almost only those who were building the platform were still busy.
When Lin Luo, Zhao Shuang and Tong Tong returned to the small yard, there were already four people standing there waiting.
