The Last Train to Hell

Fortunately, it's quite cold now, so it won't be too stuffy when the stove is burning in the house.

I'm afraid, if it's summer, will I be able to survive with such a stove in the house?

After talking to the village chief for a long time, I realized that the electricity in the village had been cut off.

Someone from the power grid came to check it. As for the reason, the village chief did not say.

I guess it's because some strange things have happened in the village recently.

Or maybe the people in the power grid mistakenly thought that everyone in the village had left.

Afraid of a safety accident, I turned off the electricity supply in the village.

"I don't know what happened to our village. After so many years of peace, something like this happened. Oh my God, you don't open your eyes."

The village chief sat on his chair, suddenly burst into tears and began to sigh.

I really want to comfort the village chief, but in this situation, nothing will help.

"Okay, don't start crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself. You are still so old. You know why you are causing trouble now. I will also clear it up. You seem to be innocent when you are doing this now."

Uncle Zhang was never very polite when he spoke, and now the village chief, who had opened his mouth to retaliate, was speechless.

From their attitude, I knew they had been hiding something.

We have already reached this point, do we still want to keep hiding the matter?

Judging from their attitude, it was obvious that they did not intend to tell the truth.

Since they weren't going to tell the truth, I couldn't be bothered to meddle.

At worst, we just rely on each other to see if it's me or them who is unlucky.

"What happened so many years ago, even if we talk about it, it may not be useful? And if these outsiders know about it, don't know how they will laugh at us?"

The village chief said that I still had a broken eyebrow and that the man in the suit was a foreigner.

He said that the man in the suit and the broken eyebrow were foreigners. I could accept that. Why did he say that I was a foreigner?

I grew up in the village, but I am not a child of the village.

It was adopted by the blind grandpa, an orphan of unknown origin.

I suddenly remembered something. Just now the man in the suit told me that Er Zhou was in the village.

What did he do in the village? Got anything to do?

I don't believe that Er Zhou would appear in the village for no reason.

But if I have to find a reason, I don’t know why.

I sighed, feeling a little helpless.

Yi Erzhou appeared in the village inexplicably, and it was very possible that he came with bad intentions.

On the other side are the village chiefs, who are hiding a secret.

Even if I ask them again and again, they may not be willing to tell the truth to me.

The fact is that it is really a dilemma.

"Did you tell me? Now that Su Ren is back, he invited these two masters back. They also want to help our village solve the problem. If we don't tell the truth, it will be unjustifiable."

Uncle Zhang was on the side to persuade the village chief. At this moment, it was not only me who focused on the two of them.

Even the man in the suit and Duan Mei looked at the two of them intently.

The village chief kept shaking his head, obviously still unwilling.

I secretly felt a little angry in my heart. Now that we have reached this point, what else do we want to do?

Is it a good thing that things continue to be hidden and tucked away?

It would be better to confess quickly.

The village chief nodded reluctantly, but just when he was about to open his mouth.

Sharp laughter suddenly came from outside the house, and this time the laughter was far less peaceful than the one heard just now.

The village chief's face turned pale and he started shaking his head again.

"I can't say, I can't say. You don't want me to tell you what's going on outside. Whether you can see the sun today or not tomorrow is a matter of course."

When the village chief said this, Uncle Zhang, who had just forced him to tell the truth, also wavered.

He staggered to the corner, and then squatted in the corner without saying a word.

I guess Uncle Zhang is also an insider, but he just forced the village chief to tell us, but he didn't intend to tell us.

Just when I was wondering, Uncle Zhang suddenly stood up and patted the non-existent soil on his body.

Sit down where he was just now.

"Su Ren and you two, come over to me. The village chief doesn't want to tell you. As for me, it's impossible to keep this matter a secret for the rest of my life. After I go, you take good care of me. Son, and our mother-in-law.”

This is Tuogu, not just talking about some past events from the past.

How come even Tuogu is on the scene?

I looked at the man in the suit in confusion, and found that his expression was much more solemn than I thought.

This expression is really confusing, and I don’t know what the man in the suit is thinking right now.

But since he didn't interrupt Uncle Zhang, it means that today's matter must give us a real answer.

The village chief called Uncle Zhang's name, but Uncle Zhang waved his hand indifferently.

It was obvious that he had made up his mind that the problems in the village must be solved.

So there must be someone who can tell us the truth, either the village chief or Uncle Zhang.

Or rather the remaining people.

They, the insiders, can't hide it all the time.

Otherwise it is not a good thing for them, and it is not a good thing for us.

Duanmei and the man in the suit have been here for so long, but they still haven't figured out anything.

There must be a reason, and probably they don't know the cause.

So I can’t jump to conclusions, and I’m afraid that I’ll get myself into trouble because I’m not careful enough.

“Since things have come to this, someone must tell the story. So many years have passed, and we are all half buried in the earth. For the sake of the peaceful life of future generations, I will die without regrets.”

Uncle Zhang’s tone was very sure, and there was also a sense of tragedy.

In fact, the old people in the village are not bad by nature. At least they have never taken advantage of their age.

When I was a child, I was naughty everywhere, and these old people were reluctant to blame me.

When I just dropped out of school, Uncle Zhang and my high school teacher came to my house to find me many times.

I said all the good and bad things, but I couldn’t listen at that time, which was a waste of his kindness.

"If Old Zhou knew that the child he picked up back then had grown up so tall and handsome, he would be able to rest assured even if he died. In fact, the child's past was not the fault of others. It was indeed our group of people who did something wrong. Now the village is in such a mess. Those who were unaware are innocent. In my opinion, we should just let the old people make amends."

What am I going to make amends for? Uncle Zhang's words were vague and confusing.

He still hasn't gotten to the point yet. I have a bad feeling in my psychological shadow.
