C25 (1/2)

I don't understand why Don wanted to get involved.

What was his goal? After thinking about this, I returned to my room.

Initially, he had intended to return to his room to ponder over it and see if the other party had exposed any flaws.

But when he woke up, it was already noon of the second day.

I had never slept so soundly before. It was as if I had just died, and I felt dizzy.

However, the sounds of firecrackers came from outside, making it difficult for me to continue sleeping. Thus, I got up.

He put on his clothes and walked outside. When he saw people running around on the street, he asked them some questions.

When he asked this question, he realized that it was actually someone who had died in the village, and this person who had died was our village head's bachelor.

As for his name, I do not know it. All I know is that he is our family, and his last name is Wang.

Even though he wasn't that old, since he was a bachelor, everyone would prefer to call him old.

With regards to the old man's death, the village's originally relaxed nerves once again tensed up.

When I asked them what the cause of death was, they all looked at me in silence, not daring to come even half a step closer.

When I walked towards them, they would be so scared that they would ignore me.

After seeing this, I didn't mind.

After all, what happened in the past few days, they probably already treated me like a bane.

Since they didn't want to tell me the truth, I had to check it out myself.

When they arrived at Old Wang's house, there were many people inside and outside, but no one dared to enter.

As I watched them, two or three of them, leaning against the wall and discussing in low voices, I felt that the matter had become more serious.

I followed him to the door of Old Wang's house.

He hadn't even entered when he felt a wave of cold air assaulting his face.

Strangely, this feeling came from behind me.

I turned to look, but there was nothing special about it other than the people who were talking animatedly in the yard.

As a girl, according to the rules of the village, I have no right to visit such a place.

But they didn't try to stop me, either, and I was able to see for myself what was going on.

For some reason, I felt that this matter seemed to have something to do with my family.

As expected, just as I entered the room, I discovered this fact.

Because on the floor of the living room, I saw a clump of red soil.

Just like the first time I saw it at second uncle's house, this red dirt was very eye-catching.

I started.

I subconsciously thought that Second Uncle's death was caused by my mother wanting to take me away.

And at the scene of Second Uncle's death, such a strange sight had been left behind.

But now it seemed that things had become even more complicated.

Mother wanted to take me away, but Second Uncle was an obstacle, so Second Uncle's death was also within reason. After all, this also explained everything clearly.

But it's fine, Old Wang. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with our family. Why would he die?

Furthermore, my mother has already been dead for more than ten years.

Carrying the doubts in my heart, I walked over step by step. After entering the main hall, I didn't find Old Head Wang's corpse in the room.

I subconsciously turned my head to look at the bedroom on the side.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but be dumbstruck. That's because, at this moment, I astonishingly saw Old Wang kneeling on the floor with his pair of round eyes. He had both hands on the floor as he raised his head and glared at me.

I was so scared that I almost screamed.

Fortunately, I covered my mouth in time. Old Wang's death was too unsightly. I reckoned that I would have a nightmare tonight. Without further ado, I ran out of the room.

As I dashed out of Old Wang's residence, I faintly felt those people in the courtyard pointing at my back as though they were talking bad about me.

I couldn't resist this kind of feeling. I subconsciously turned my head to look, but I discovered that they weren't paying attention to me at all. It was as though I was air and wasn't being noticed by them.

I immediately frowned and left Old Wang's house.

Even though it was broad daylight, I didn't stop at all on the way home.

When I came back, sweating profusely, my grandmother asked me where I had been and why I was sweating profusely.

I didn't dare tell the truth. I just told him to go out for a walk and then rushed into my room.

I sat on the bed, my body trembling uncontrollably. When I thought of Old Wang's vengeful gaze, my entire body couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

It was at this moment that I heard a knock on the door of the courtyard that I had locked from the inside.

The knocking sound was deep and powerful.
