Chapter 74
The two stayed in this dilapidated thatched hut until dawn, but in the end they didn't reach a conclusion, so they could only pretend that they didn't know anything, and returned to Xi Village temporarily.
Lin Jin wanted to help Hongmei find her younger sister, but Hongmei refused. She knew Lin Jin's kindness, but even she herself couldn't remember what she looked like because it was too long and her sister was too young. Not to mention that Lin Jin didn't know her in the first place.There are indeed few ten-year-old girls in Xicun, but after so many years, those she has seen can be ruled out. Maybe she is just hiding in a corner of the mountain, or maybe she is really dead. When Lin Jin asked her, she I am very stubborn, but in fact, sometimes I feel uneasy in my heart, and I will doubt whether my thoughts all the time are true, and I will torture myself repeatedly.
Lin Jin didn't ask any more questions, and followed Hongxie back to Xicun for the time being.
Lin Jin originally thought that they would attract accusations from Mrs. Meng if they didn't return overnight and went into the depths of the bamboo forest without authorization, but she didn't expect something more bizarre to cover up their omissions.
The few who went with them last night did not return to Xi Village after leaving them behind. Without exception, they were disembowelled and their faces were covered in blood.
Seeing strange things happening one after another in the village, Mrs. Meng couldn't be calm, so she didn't feel in the mood to ask them more, and let them go back to their houses.
One wave after another, the cause of those people's unexplained deaths has not been found out, and the corpses in the bamboo forest were discovered again.
Lin Jin thought that Mrs. Meng would definitely question her and Hongxie angrily, but she didn't expect Mrs. Meng to ignore them at all, as if she had selectively forgotten that they went out last night.
Not knowing who was helping them, Lin Jin kind of expected that person to be Zhang Xi.
The affairs of Xi Village are never handed over to the government for investigation. No matter how big or small, they are all handled by the Meng family. Once there is something that the Meng family can't handle, the whole village will feel as if they have lost their backbone.
Supporting her seriously ill body, Meng got up from early morning to deal with chores every day. She gritted her teeth with hatred, hated those villagers who caused troubles for no reason, hated the servants she raised for not giving her peace of mind, and hated the man who was supposed to be in charge of the house. I don't live up to it, and I hate myself for breaking my heart all my life.
Lin Jin saw her looking through the account books over the years several times late at night, thinking that this person might really not live long, but he did not expect that Mrs. Meng lived one spring, summer, autumn and winter after another, even though her health was getting worse day by day, But the flashback continued for an incomparably long time, and even gave people the illusion that she could still manage the Meng family like that for decades.
What they had been worrying about before didn't happen. No one knew that she and Hongmei had inadvertently peeped into Xicun's secret, so although they were worried, they didn't have any fear for their lives.
The only thing that frightened Lin Jin was that she couldn't find Zhang Xi no matter what. She went to the two caves where she used to live, and to every place Zhang Xi had taken her to, even the one she met that day. She searched all over the wolf's place, but unfortunately found nothing. The whole mountain that once proved the existence of Zhang Xi is now covered with heavy dust. Sometimes Lin Jin will stay on the mountain all day until it gets dark. Just sleeping in the corner of the cave, she deluded herself into thinking that Zhang Xi would suddenly appear one day, but unfortunately, after waiting for two full years, when her body had grown up, Zhang Xi still did not come back.
Destiny still seemed to be walking step by step according to the original steps. Lin Jin couldn't figure out what went wrong, and she didn't know how to fix it. She thought about going to the town where they met later, but because of being with Hong There is an appointment first, and Hongmei cannot be left here alone, so she can only endure the irritability and panic in her heart and wait day by day.
In the first year, Xiao Qiu often came to Lin Jin, and Lin Jin was a little apprehensive, thinking that although he had a good impression of Xiao Qiu at first, he really didn't have deep feelings for him, so he avoided it whenever he could, but he didn't. Thinking that Xiaoqiu had gradually moved into Meng's house later on, the Meng family didn't have the energy to take care of her, so they put her and Lin Jin together, treating her as an extra girl.
Every day when Lin Jin returned to the firewood room, he could see Xiao Qiu sitting at the dilapidated wooden table, holding a piece of plum cake in his hand, eagerly wanting her to eat it.
Lin Jin couldn't refuse at first, but later she couldn't bear it anymore and told Hong Mei about it. Hong Mei hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell her about it.
Lin Jin never thought that Zhang Xi had treated her so well now, she just felt that she had missed too much, no matter how many times she lived over again, she could not make up for Zhang Xi's feelings for her, but because of this, Lin Jin Feeling that there must be something wrong with Xiaoqiu, Zhang Xi tried every means to prevent her from eating what Xiaoqiu gave, probably to protect herself from the side.
The plum blossom cake never happened in my previous life, I don't know if I forgot it, or there is something else hidden.
But no matter what the situation is, Lin Jin has already started to guard against Xiao Qiu in his heart, and sometimes even finds an excuse to go out and sleep with Hong Yi at night, so as not to cause anything to happen when he is asleep.
At first, Xiao Qiu leaned close to her, but later he seemed to notice that Lin Jin was alienating intentionally or unintentionally, and gradually kept a distance from her. Ask Lin Jin what to eat.
Lin Jin considers herself to be a vacillating person who cannot be decisive when things happen. Seeing Xiao Qiu sitting alone in the corner of the backyard every day, not talking to anyone, and without a smile on his face, she began to feel distressed again, and thought about it several times. She shared some of her own meals with her, but was finally stopped by Hongxie, and she realized how reckless she was.
Hongmei still couldn't find her sister, and Lin Jin accompanied her to every corner of Xi Village, and asked many people, but there was still no news.
Hongxie confessed to Lin Jin that she was a demon. Lin Jin was a little surprised, but quickly accepted it. After all, Zhang Xi came first, and she remembered that there were demons in this world, otherwise An Qiao would not have Will have been against them in order to subdue some evildoers.
The days were too peaceful, because the Meng family was in a difficult situation, and in the past two years, even the sacrifice that was worshiped by the villagers as a belief did not continue. Some people came to ask the Meng family in panic, but they were sent away by the Meng family.
The whole village of Xi was like a pool of stagnant water, completely silent, as if nothing could make it have any vitality and waves.
In the winter two years after Zhang Xi left, a plague suddenly broke out in Xi Village. Because it was winter, the epidemic did not develop so fast, but it was also because of the heavy snow in the winter that the roads were blocked, and even going out to gather herbs became a difficult task. .The herbs in the village were quickly used up, and many villagers died of serious diseases one after another.
The Meng family sent people to throw the bodies of those people to the back mountain, and found a few pits to bury them as deep as possible.Lin Jin was 1 unwilling, but he couldn't stop him if he wanted to. He could only run to the back mountain at night to see where they buried the man, and whether it was close to where Zhang Xi used to live.
Fortunately, it was winter, so there was no rotten smell after so many corpses piled up. Lin Jin walked slowly up the mountain along the path in the dark. In the past two years, she walked up and down the mountain countless times. The location of every tree and every stone along the road is well known by heart.
She was always in front, thinking about something in her heart, and when she heard something behind her, the footsteps were already very close, she could even hear a slight panting, and felt that the person following her was right behind her .
Lin Jin subconsciously quickened her pace, and when she came to a corner path, she stretched out her hand to press down the hanging branches, and then took advantage of the cover of the dense branches and leaves to dodge and hide behind a nearby rock.
She held her breath and waited quietly for the man to follow, but she didn't expect the sound of footsteps to disappear. In the darkness, she couldn't see the situation outside clearly. Lin Jin squatted on the spot, her feet were numb, and the blood in her body was cooling down. Biting his own lip, he found that his lips had been frozen wood, and he had no feeling at all.
It felt like an hour had passed, but there was still no movement. Lin Jin couldn't bear the cold anymore. She poked her head out to take a look, and found that there was no one outside. She wondered if she was in danger?But the footsteps just now did indeed exist.
Lin Jin put her hands on the ground and tried to stand up with difficulty. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name not far away, and there was a buzzing in her ears. The voice agreed.
Following the sound, Hongmei found her behind the stone, helped her up, and asked, "What are you doing here alone at night without sleeping?"
Lin Jin rubbed her numb legs and said, "I want to come over and see where they buried the body. What if she comes back and doesn't know if the situation is infected..."
Hongxie kind of hates iron for being weak, didn’t it just save your life, it’s okay to be grateful, it’s been almost two years, I run up the mountain three or four times a day, I can’t stop it, obviously I’m not even a friend, I don't know where so many misses come from.
Lin Jin asked her, "When did you come here?"
Hongxie said: "I went to look for you in your room at night. Seeing that you and that little girl were not there, I always felt uneasy. I guess you will come to Houshan, so I came to look for you. I just came here not long ago."
Lin Jin said: "Someone seemed to be following me just now. I originally heard footsteps behind me and hid myself to see who it was, but I never found anyone."
Hongxie asked suspiciously: "It's so late, who would come to this gloomy place, did you hear me right?"
Lin Jin shook his head, "Probably not."
Lin Jin patted his trousers and said, "I still have to go over and take a look, otherwise don't worry, sister Hongxie, please come with me, it's even more unsafe to go down the mountain by yourself at this time."
Hongmei had no choice but to go with her, it was really not safe to go back alone now, besides, she definitely couldn't let Lin Jin stay here by herself.
The two continued to walk up the mountain until they saw the mass grave, where dozens of earth bags were piled up. There was no tombstone on it, and there was not even anything that could identify the identity of the deceased. Memories find the tombs of their loved ones.
The moonlight was pale, shining on the tomb, a chill suddenly rose, and Lin Jin suddenly felt shivering.
Hong Mei didn't say anything, but she also sensed the terrible atmosphere here, the location had been confirmed, and the two planned to hurry down the mountain while there was still some moonlight.
Lin Jin wanted to help Hongmei find her younger sister, but Hongmei refused. She knew Lin Jin's kindness, but even she herself couldn't remember what she looked like because it was too long and her sister was too young. Not to mention that Lin Jin didn't know her in the first place.There are indeed few ten-year-old girls in Xicun, but after so many years, those she has seen can be ruled out.
