Chapter 12: The Returned Child

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Well, it should be. There aren't many young people left in our village, let alone Blue Moon Village." "I heard that ……" Ming Chenyan said seemingly carelessly, "the Blue Moon Village …… seems to be haunted?" The word "haunted", the middle-aged man who was grabbing apples froze, and quickly said, "This is not nonsense? Our village branch secretary has always said, rural areas are not allowed to engage in feudal superstitious activities! You can't talk nonsense!" Situ Wenxuan quickly said, "My brother is straight-tempered, don't mind if I do! Well, in fact, we just heard that more than ten years ago in Blue Moon Village, there was a bloodshed case ……." What Situ Wenxuan said was completely the plot of Black Ghost Shadow, and he was only saying this as a test. There was currently no check on the internet for this information. "Oh..! There is this thing!" Who knows, the middle-aged man actually directly admitted: "Well, at that time, I heard that there was a family in Blue Moon Village that contracted that nearby several villages' orchards, and became a million-dollar household in the nineties, and then the whole family was killed. I didn't dare to let my daughter go out alone at that time. But what haunted, really never heard of it!" At this time, Dong Ning hastily stuck out his head and asked, "Then did you hear that the family had a young son whose remains were not found?" "I'm not too sure about that. At that time, there were all kinds of rumors, and no one here subscribed to a newspaper, only the village's production newspaper, and most of them were heard from other people." The middle-aged man had already loaded three big bags of apples, and said, "There is no signal for cell phones here, and Alipay WeChat can't be used, so please pay cash." Situ Wenxuan took out his bulging wallet, pulled out a few sheets, and said, "Old township, no need to look for it. You tell me specifically? What do you still remember from back then?" "This, it's not clear!" The middle-aged man laughed bitterly, "It's been so many years, it seems like I just got married not long ago then, and now my daughters have gone to the county to work!" "Then you recall recall ……" The middle-aged man looked at the several red RMB, thought for a moment and said, "I really don't know too well, our village is five or six kilometers away from Blue Moon Village, and there has not been much traffic. Back then, there was a big case that spread to our village. At that time, I think it should be some kind of roving robbery, right? I don't know, I can't make it up can I?" In any case, it was not bad to be able to inquire about this matter. They saluted this middle-aged man, and Situ Wenxuan brought in three large bags of apples, then continued driving. "Looks like the plot of Black Ghost Shadow is taken from reality." Ming Chenchen mused, then looked out the car window. "The murder case is real …… Then Yuan Ming, is this character Deep Sea himself?" "It's possible!" Dong Ning was considering it that way as well, "Maybe it's just like the Devil's Apartment written by my brother, which was written from reality. Let's think about it, Deep Sea first released his book in 2013, assuming he lost his memory like Yuan Ming, the murders can be traced back to 1996 at the earliest." The 1990s was a time of crime. In those days, when it wasn't difficult for the population to move between provinces and cities, and surveillance wasn't widespread, roving killings weren't uncommon. For example, the famous Diao Aiqing broken body case and the Silver serial murder case were both highly bloody and horrific, and the former remains an unsolved case to this day! "However, with so many people dead, it should also be a very sensational and big case." Akatsuhiko muttered, "Of course, crime reports and all judicial authorities in this era can be dominated and controlled by apartments, not to mention back then. As far as I can determine from my investigation, none of the deaths involved in the Bloodletter were ever officially filed! This is the result of the condominium's power!" Situ Wenxuan also felt very shaky, "This is also a little too terrifying, right?…… It's simply similar to the Law of Karma curse. Is it mental domination? Or?" The fine thought was terrifying. The horror of that hellish apartment was really not overestimated no matter how much it was overestimated ah! Such a terrifying curse power also made the new residents, Fong Wenxuan and Gao Yiye, certain that they could be killed by the apartment at any time with their shadows. Compared to this, the reality is that Situ Wenxuan's cheating affair has already been stabbed by his wife to his flat, making a big fuss, and he can only care less. His job may not be able to keep, family and friends in the circle of friends and WeChat inside either blame or despise him. Although this apartment is cruel, but on the contrary, it has become a haven for this pair of dogs and men who are not allowed to be in the world. If they can fulfill their blood wish in the future, it shouldn't be too difficult to erase all the negative impacts of this infidelity. The key, was to live. From time to time, Situ Wenxuan looked up and looked at Gao Yi Fish, who was sitting in the back and was holding his cell phone to read the downloaded txt document Black Ghosts and Shadows. He pursed his lips, and the first time the blood words should …… should survive without difficulty, but so far there has never been a blood word in which all the members survived. The residents of the apartment are living in the present under the pressure of horrible death. "We have to think clearly about one thing." At this time, Situ Wenxuan heard Dong Ning's voice come through, "Even if a novel is drawn from reality, it's inevitable that there will be fictionalized artistic processing. Novels are meant to be sold for money, and plots that aren't conducive to attracting readers definitely need to be altered. We can't look at novels as documentary literature, we have to figure out what is fictionalized." "Isn't Yuan Ming molded by Fukami after himself?" Akatsuhiko held out his index finger and said, "That's the key." The Honda traveled a little further, and this time, two more farmers came up ahead. Situ Wenxuan stopped the car and stuck his head out the window again to inquire, "May I ask how to get from here to Blue Moon Village?" The two farmers came up, one of them pointed ahead and said in a voice as thick as a gong, "Continue along this mountain road, less than a kilometer away!" Almost there! "Are you Blue Moon Village villagers?" "We are from Qingyan Village." "Then I would like to ask ……" Situ Wenxuan said as he pulled out a pack of soft medium and handed it to the farmer in front of him. "Forget the cigarettes," he waved his hand and said, "My mother-in-law talks about me all day long, so I quit. You can ask if you want to." Meanwhile, Dong Ning was looking around. The closer she got to Blue Moon Village, the more desolate the surroundings became, and even the green color was much less. It was clearly daytime, but the warmth of the sun could not be felt at all, and the surrounding tones felt very gloomy. Even the chirping of birds could not be heard, and the surroundings were filled with dead silence. "Haunted?" After Situ Wenxuan asked the same question, the villagers of Qingyan Village in front of him thought about it, and the one who had already quit smoking said, "Who did you guys listen to? Is it because Blue Moon Village that is still earth burial?" "Earth burial?" "Blue Moon Village that's too far away from the water source, and the transportation around it isn't convenient, and the arable land has basically been deserted for decades, so most of the abandoned arable land has since been used to make graveyards. Directly behind that village is a large cemetery, our village all say that Blue Moon Village is heavy with Yin Qi!" That's right! Inside the novel, Yan Shen Village was the same, it had always practiced earth burials and had a large number of graveyards! Ming Chenyan hurriedly continued to pursue, "So, just saying that the Yin Qi is heavy? Didn't really hear of any …… ghosts?" The villagers waved their hands in succession, and the one who had quit smoking said, "What exactly are you here for? Asking this kind of question?" "Wasn't there an extermination murder case in Blue Moon Village back then?" Situ Wenxuan handed another villager another cigarette, that villager took it, and then Situ Wenxuan directly took out a lighter to light his cigarette. To know, Situ Wenxuan used to be someone else to light his cigarette ah! "This cigarette is quite good …… murder case ah? Let's see, it seems like there was one, but it was a long time ago." "It's okay, you guys talk about it!" Now only a stone's throw away from the Blue Moon Village, but after all, the blood word time has not arrived, there is no hurry to go over. It was most important to inquire about information first. Intelligence was often the key to unlocking the path to life, and all the occupants regarded intelligence gathering as the highest priority of the Blood Word quest. "Well ……" At this time, the villager who was smoking said, "It's been so long …… but, a few years ago there was a strange rumor. " "What?" "I'm not sure if it's related to the case back then ah, I just heard the village chief say, next door to the Blue Moon Village, a child seems to have been abducted and sold for more than ten years, and came back again, and I remember it was said that the child's previous family was killed, and then he was sold to other places." "Is that so?" The villager next to him who quit smoking, however, said, "What I remember is that the child wasn't abducted and sold, he left the village and then came back, whether it's related to some murder case or not I'm not sure." At this time, Dong Ning immediately asked a very crucial question, "Did the child lose his memory?" This was crucial! This was the experience of Yuan Ming, the protagonist inside the novel. "Losing your memory?" Both villagers thought about it and said, "Not really. Usually they are busy with farming, where do they have the time to care about things in the next village." After all, the melon eaters were too idle to gossip all day long, for the farmers in this poor county who worried about their livelihoods day in and day out, this kind of idle matter that had absolutely nothing to do with them would not have the mood to care. The most is to worry about traffickers abducting their own family dolls. Then …… that child, is it Deep Sea, or rather Yuan Ming?
