Wang Tie was trembling with fear. He looked up in shock and saw a corpse hanging from the beam. The miserable death was exactly the same as Wang Zhu's, except that it was a different person.
"Ahhh! Wife, this is my wife, Hong, why did you leave me too!"
Wang Tie was so frightened that his face turned pale, and then he burst into tears. He sat on the ground and pounded it, crying uncontrollably.
Wang Kai also looked panicked and frightened. He took a few steps back, tripped over his own feet, and sat down on the ground.
Village chief Wang Shi looked at the corpse's popping eyeballs. Her tongue was stretched out long, hanging to one side and swaying in the wind. He was so horrified that he retched directly towards the door.
Wen Xi frowned and said, "This was definitely done by a ghost. There's still ghost energy left on her body. Even though she's been gone for so long, she still has a monstrous resentment. This ghost is quite powerful."
Wen Chenxi's eyes were cold. He said to Village Chief Wang Shi, "Village Chief Wang, please have someone put the body down first."
Village chief Wang Shi agreed repeatedly and ran out in a hurry.
After a while, a few strong men were called over. They looked at the tortured corpse with reluctance and fear, and put the corpse down while mumbling.
Wang Tie was still crying loudly. The villagers who were helping them put the bodies away said angrily, "Wang Tie, why are you crying? Why don't you come and help? It's your wife who died."
Wang Tie stopped crying for a moment, his eyes widened, and he said cruelly, "I've already encountered such a thing, and you still say this to me? What's wrong with helping me? My wife often brings you food on weekdays."
"What kind of food are you sending me? They're just some wild fruits and hairy tofu that are about to get moldy if you keep them at home. Who would want them?"
The villagers curled their lips and said strangely, "Besides, what on earth has happened to your family? Why have two people died in a row? Our Yantu Village is so small, and we have never seen any ghosts. Your family is the first one to happen. Now everyone is in a panic. Everyone is scared because of your family's affairs and dare not go out. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Wang Tie's eyes became panicked, and his voice became much louder. "What nonsense are you talking about? What could our family have done wrong? I... I only have one son, and he's gone. How can you not have any sympathy? The village chief has even invited city officials to investigate. I have a clear conscience, so I'm actively cooperating."
The villagers glanced at Wen Chenxi and the others cautiously, muttered a few words, and then stopped talking. They patted their arms unhappily and left.
Soon, Wang Tie's family started preparing for the funeral again.
Wang Kai's family, who lived next door to them, came over to help and asked the funeral home in the village to quickly get another coffin.
Wang Zhu's body was placed in the coffin, his eyes were still wide open, and you could see how much fear he had before his death.
The sound of faint cries soon came from the makeshift mourning hall. Wang Kai's mother, Shen Yu, knelt on the futon, muttering something devoutly, while secretly glancing at Wen Xi and others with her small eyes.
Wang Kai's father Wang Qiao and Wang Tie are brothers. The two of them were huddled in the yard, talking and smoking.
Village chief Wang Shi was also busy running around, beads of sweat on his forehead. He said anxiously, "Leaders, you saw it too. Another life has been lost. This time it's Wang Tie's wife, Tang Hong. This is really weird. I really didn't hear any noise at night. How could someone be killed again? And the dead are all Wang Tie's family members. Could it be that they really did something to offend the ghosts?"
Xiao Shaoyan said, "Okay, stop yelling 'leader, leader' all the time. This is our Captain Wen. My name is Xiao Shaoyan, and this is Wen Xi. Don't worry, we are here to solve the problem. When night falls, we will wait here for the ghost."
Village Chief Wang Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, alright. With the leaders here, I feel much more at ease. So, for tonight's night watch... I'll have someone wait outside?"
Anyway, they didn't dare stay in the house.
Wen Xi said calmly, "Just sleep peacefully at home. We don't need you to come and get killed."
Giving away lives?
Village chief Wang Shi smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement. This was definitely the best thing for them, as they were also afraid of ghosts.
"My son and daughter-in-law are both gone, and I might be next. What am I afraid of?"
Suddenly, Wang Tie's roar was heard in the yard, and then the two brothers Wang Tie and Wang Qiao started arguing. Wang Qiao was trying to persuade him not to get angry, and looked into the house with a panicked look. Seeing Chenxi and the others looking over, they couldn't help but pull Wang Tie and waved their hands hurriedly, asking him to stop talking.
Wang Tie didn't listen at all. His body was shaking with fear. Instead, he grabbed Wang Qiao and said, "You are my brother. You must help me with this matter. After all, this matter is clearly yours..."
Seeing that Wang Tie was about to speak, Wang Qiao reached out and covered his mouth in a hurry.
Wen Chenxi sneered, "It seems like they are hiding something from us."
Village Chief Wang Shi slapped his thigh and said, "What the hell is going on? They flatly denied it in front of me before, saying they didn't know how they were haunted."
Wen Xi squatted at the door, looking at the bloodstains on the ground that had not yet dried, and said quietly, "Second brother, go ask them. The deaths of these two people are very strange. Such brutal methods can only be caused by the revenge of evil spirits. There must be something wrong with their family."
"good!"
Wen Chenxi and Xiao Shaoyan walked over with their long legs. The two brothers who were quarreling just now suddenly panicked and wanted to walk out in an instant. Wen Chenxi easily grabbed one of them in each hand and pulled them back to the mourning hall.
"Hey, what are you doing? This is the pillar of my family. Please be gentler."
When Shen Yu saw her husband being thrown in, she immediately refused to do it. She rushed up to pull Wen Chenxi away, but was frightened by Wen Chenxi's cold and handsome face. She stood there and stomped her feet in anger.
Wen Chenxi glanced at them coldly, and his majestic aura shocked them all at once. Both Wang Tie and Wang Qiao lowered their heads guiltily.
Wen Chenxi said coldly, "That's what I want to ask you, what exactly are you hiding from us?"
Wang Tie's expression was twisted with grief. He opened his mouth and said, "No...nothing. We were just joking."
Xiao Shaoyan sneered, "Do you think we are stupid? Why don't you look in the mirror and see your own expressions? You look so guilty, like you are afraid that we know something. Are you still joking? Fine, keep making a fuss and let people die."
