What!!!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and one word shocked everyone. As soon as Village Chief Yang said this, not to mention Zhao Chengbing was stunned on the spot. Even He Fei couldn't sit still this time. Because the answer was too unexpected, the next moment,

The college student instinctively left his seat and stood up immediately. His expression was astonished and his eyes were wide open.

Yes, He Fei was frightened. He was so frightened by Village Chief Yang's blunt confession that he became speechless and broke out in cold sweat. Or maybe he heard clues from the old man's words.

What's the clue?

The clue is that Zhao Huanzhen died a month and a half ago, and the village was hit by a drought a month and a half ago. This means that even if Zhao Huanzhen died unexpectedly, he could not have died in a well. After all, it was a summer drought at the time, and the wells were dry. Once someone

If someone falls into a well and dies, the body will definitely rot quickly in the hot environment. The smell will definitely attract the attention of the villagers. Therefore, it is natural that Zhao Huanzhen will never die in the village well when the well is dry.

!

By analogy, since Zhao Huanzhen did not die in the well, doesn't that mean that his earlier guess was wrong? Although Zhao Huanzhen's body was in the water, it was 100% not in the village well?

While thinking in shock, He Fei rolled his eyes and looked at the pair of grandfather and grandson opposite him. As he looked, he saw Village Chief Yang looking gloomy and Xiaoxia also looking gloomy. They didn't look like they were lying.

(Eh? Wait, no, something is wrong.)

During the observation, He Fei somehow suddenly thought of a question, a new question...

As the saying goes, if you don’t understand, you should ask. As soon as the idea came to mind, the college student immediately blurted out the question: "By the way, Village Chief Yang, since you said that the village was experiencing a drought when Zhao Huanzhen disappeared, then the villagers’ daily drinking water and the water outside the village

Field irrigation…”

Although He Fei didn't finish what he said later, he knew that the other party must understand what he meant.

Soon, He Fei got the answer. Village Chief Yang did not speak this time, but Xiaoxia answered instead of the old man.

After hearing the question, the girl pointed to the northwest outside the window and said, "Didn't my grandfather say it before? There is a river outside the village."

Got it, He Fei understood it completely.

Note that the understanding here does not refer to how the villagers solved the problem of drinking water and irrigating the fields during the drought, but to knowing the real place where Zhao Huanzhen’s body was buried!

That river, the river outside the village that surrounds Jingtao Village, is close to the village, and is less than 1 kilometer away from the village.

It is also the river that He Fei saw outside the village when he first appeared in this world!

So that’s it!

At this moment, He Fei not only knew the real place where Zhao Huanzhen's body was buried, but also understood why Village Chief Yang looked gloomy and full of sorrow.

As I said before, Village Chief Yang loves his granddaughter Xiaoxia very much. As long as he can keep his granddaughter alive, the old man will do anything and take any risks. As the old man just said, if Zhao Huanzhen’s body is really found in the well in the village, it is estimated that Yang Cun

Chang had long ignored the danger and jumped into the well to retrieve the body. After all, the well was so big, and if you went down, you could go straight to the bottom. If there was something down there, you could easily find it.

But what if it’s a river?

What about a river that is vast and stretches almost to no end?

Looking for a body in such a large area of ​​water?

How is this different from finding a needle in a haystack?

Who knows whether the body is in the upper reaches, the middle reaches, or the lower reaches? Even if the approximate location is determined, it is still not easy to find in the already wide water area.

No wonder Village Chief Yang looked even more sad when he learned that Zhao Huanzhen’s body was most likely in the water than when he had no idea at first. It turned out that the old man had already guessed that the body could not be in the village through the clue of water.

It is not a well, but most likely in the river outside the village.

Since it is guessed that the body sank in the river, the difficulty arises, that is...

So what if you are not afraid of death? The key is can you find it? Can you find the body in a wide river?

It is also worth mentioning that in the face of crisis, He Fei and Zhao Chengbing are different from the village chief Yang and his grandson. The moods of both sides are different. He Fei and Zhao are not native to this world.

The two of them only need to stay up until noon tomorrow to escape from the sea of ​​misery. Both of them will reach the task time limit.

Dahou disappeared, but unlike Village Chief Yang, Xiaoxia and even the other villagers who survived, these people were local aborigines. Even if He Fei and He Fei could leave after two days, these people still had to stay in the village to face the crisis.

, if you leave the village, you will be attacked by the bloody man, if you don’t leave the village, you will be killed by the female locust sooner or later.

unless……

Unless Zhao Huanzhen's body can be found and brought ashore, the death and killing that envelopes the entire Jingtao Village will never stop. To put it bluntly, it can be understood that Jingtao Village is destined to be destroyed, and all villagers will die sooner or later!

(I, I really don’t want Village Chief Yang and Xiaoxia to die. These two grandsons are very good. They are good people. Good people should not die.)

Thinking of this, He Fei fell silent. In the silence, the young man fell into a tangle of thoughts that he had never experienced before.

Yes, He Fei is kind in nature. He is neither the kind of ungrateful person nor the kind of person who only cares about himself. He remembers everything. He clearly remembers that he was taken in by Village Chief Yang and Xiaoxia when he first entered Jingtao Village.

He and Zhao Chengbing, at the same time, this pair

Grandfather and grandson also treated them very well. Although He Fei had found a way to avoid the female locusts and survived until the end of the mission by not contacting or getting close to the water, but when he thought about Village Chief Yang and Xiaoxia after he left,

The tragic ending that was expected...

Every time he thinks about this, He Fei always feels worried.

In the tangle of thoughts, the young man's face twitched slightly. During this period, he tried to open his mouth several times to say something, but every time the words came to his lips, he always ended up swallowing them.

Because he is afraid. After all, He Fei is still afraid of death!

Nowadays, he no longer goes to the river outside the village to look for corpses. He even dares not touch the water. In addition, the hope of finding the corpse is too slim. In the end, He Fei gave up and chose to remain silent with guilt. What did he say?

Didn't say anything.

It is conceivable that even He Fei did not dare to go out for fear of touching the water. Zhao Chengbing, who had just suffered from "water phobia", lowered his head and pretended to be mute, wishing to retract his head into his crotch.

As for Village Chief Yang...

At this moment, seeing that both He Fei and He Fei were silent, and seeing the other's expression full of fear, Village Chief Yang, who had extremely rich life experience, instantly understood, and instantly saw what the two of them were afraid of. Of course, this was not the point, after all, they were afraid.

Death is human nature, not to mention that the old man never counted on anyone from beginning to end, so

, after learning the answer that Zhao Huanzhen was most likely to sink to the bottom of the river, the old man gritted his teeth, turned his head and looked at Xiaoxia, first looked at Xiaoxia next to him with kindness, and then looked towards him as if he had made some kind of decision.

The granddaughter said: "Xiaoxia, grandpa went out to do some errands and will be back soon. You and these two gentlemen stay at home."

After that, he got up and walked out the door.

However, before she had taken a few steps, behind her, Xiaoxia, who understood something, suddenly changed her face. She grabbed the old man's arm and shouted in panic: "Grandpa, don't go out! No, don't go out! It's going to rain outside."

It’s raining!”

It is very obvious that although Xiaoxia is an innocent girl, her innocence does not mean that she is a fool. In addition, given the conversation earlier, how could the girl not guess the purpose of her grandfather going out? Sure enough, when she saw that the old man was about to go out, the girl was scared.

Knowing that the female locust could kill people with water, she tried her best to stop her grandfather, and even cried loudly afterwards.

Xiaoxia tried her best to stop her from pulling hard, but it was useless. It was completely useless to Village Chief Yang, who had already made up his mind to find the body even if he broke the old bones. However, the old man was not moved by his granddaughter's obstruction and crying. He shook his head first.

He shook his head, and then before Xiaoxia could react, he suddenly used force and pushed the girl directly towards He Fei.

He Fei quickly caught Xiaoxia with his eyes and hands. Taking this opportunity, Village Chief Yang decisively raised his foot and turned around to leave. After looking at Xiaoxia with a look that was very like farewell, he rushed out the door and said something to He Fei before leaving.

He said: "Mr. He, for the sake of the old man being nice to you and Mr. Zhao, please take good care of Xiaoxia for the old man. If the old man doesn't come back, remember to find an opportunity to take Xiaoxia out of the village!"

After saying this, Village Chief Yang rushed straight out the door, towards the gray world filled with dark clouds and thunder.

Can……

For some reason, just when Village Chief Yang was still a few steps away from running out of the main room, a flash of lightning flashed across He Fei's mind, and then he spoke directly as if he suddenly thought of something important, and hurried towards Yang Cun who was about to leave.

The long figure shouted loudly:
Chapter completed!
