After watching his father leave, Chi Mu followed him.
On the way, Chi Mu finally understood the meaning of what his father said at Lin Zhang's house that day.
Everything he did was for his mother.
But in his father's eyes, what he did was immoral and incorrect, but he had to do it for his wife.
Chi Mu felt the helplessness of a middle-aged man from his father.
At the same time, Chi Mu also began to doubt the true intentions of Lame Li.
Because he came to the river at the west end of the village twice and made important discoveries each time.
The first time, he discovered the paper man coming to the river and found Jiang Shaobo’s body, which led to many subsequent clues.
The second time, which was when he found the paper man in the Hunchback Temple just now, he came to the river and happened to run into his father's transaction with the dwarf man.
Chi Mu didn't believe that this was a coincidence. It was most likely that Lame Li did it on purpose.
But what is Lame Li's purpose in doing this?
He deliberately led Chi Mu to discover these things. Wasn't he afraid that Chi Mu would reveal to the villagers the fact that Cripple Li secretly raised a ghost?
Isn’t he afraid that Chi Mu will discover his other secrets?
After all, the relationship between my father and Cripple Li is not something that can be made public.
——"Is this really called the Hunchback Village? I think it should be called the Villain Village. Even my father does things that are shameful."
——"No one who appears in Chi Mu's sight now is a good person. They are really not any better."
——"This strange story really shows the evil side of human nature vividly."
The audience sighed.
.......
Now this ghost story copy is almost over. All we need to do is find the body of Lin Zhang’s wife and confirm whether she was killed by Lin Zhang, and then it can come to an end.
But Chi Mu did not feel relaxed. Instead, he felt that this was the most tiring copy of all the ghost stories he had ever participated in.
Chi Mu felt a little vicissitudes of life and finally understood a sentence he heard when he was in school.
Behind human nature is the fickleness of things.
After watching his father come home, Chi Mu stood outside the door and waited for a few minutes before going in.
He was afraid that his sensitive father would notice something.
"Dad, why are you back? Didn't you go hunting in the mountains?"
Chi Mu looked at his father in surprise.
The father touched his nose and said, "Well, it rained too hard and we didn't see any prey this morning, so we came back."
"oh....."
Chi Mu did not expose his father. He started to burn firewood, while his father started to cut vegetables and cook. The two of them had a tacit understanding.
The only sound in the room was the sound of my father cutting vegetables.
After a long time, my father broke the silence first.
"Xiao Mu, everyone has their own obsessions in life, no matter who they are."
Chi Mu looked at his father in surprise and found that he seemed to be hesitant to say something.
"Dad, you are..."
"Dad, brother, I'm back. It rained so heavily today, my shoes are all soaked with water, it's so annoying..."
Just when Chi Mu wanted to ask his father why he suddenly said something inexplicable, his younger brother came back with his schoolbag and a complaining look on his face.
Chi Mu didn't ask the question in the end. He stood up to get Xiaoxin's slippers and helped him take off the schoolbag on his back.
"Xiao Mu, go help your brother change his clothes and wipe his hair. Be careful not to catch a cold. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"good."
Chi Mu took Xiao Xin into the room and found a dry towel to help him wipe his hair.
He enjoyed such time very much because he had never felt any family love except from his grandmother since he was a child.
Unexpectedly, the first time Chi Mu would feel the warmth of home again in this life would be in the world of ghost stories.
While helping Xiaoxin wipe his hair, Chi Mu was thinking about what excuse he should use when he went to Lin Zhang's house in the afternoon.
Because the previous few times I talked to Lin Miaomiao, she was the one who took the initiative to come to the convenience store.
Now that Chi Mu was going to take the initiative to look for him, he had no reason to do so.
Thinking of this, Chi Mu glanced at Xiao Xin and suddenly remembered that he and Lin Miaomiao were in the same class.
"Xiao Xin, do you know who Lin Miaomiao calls brother in the village?"
Chi Mu remembered that Xiao Xin had said before that he and Lin Miaomiao had a good relationship.
However, the next second, what Xiaoxin said shocked Chi Mu for millions of years.
"Brother? He calls me brother. She always follows me around and calls me Xiaoxin brother, hehe."
Chi Mu looked at Xiao Xin in disbelief.
He never imagined that the important clue he had been looking for turned out to be his younger brother Shin-chan!
After hearing Xiao Xin's answer, Chi Mu immediately asked: "Xiao Xin, do you know where Miao Miao's mother went?!"
After Chi Mu asked this question, his breathing unconsciously became heavier.
Now, he just needs to confirm who killed Lin Zhang’s wife, and then find her body to confirm it, and then he can identify all the murderers!
"Miao, Miaomiao's mother? People in the village say her mother married to the next village, brother, why are you asking this?"
Xiaoxin's tone suddenly changed, his eyes became evasive, and he lowered his head unconsciously.
Looking at Xiao Xin's appearance, Chi Mu could tell at a glance that he was not telling the truth.
Shin-chan is lying!
Chi Mu's tone became serious. He turned around to look at his father who was still busy in the kitchen, and closed the door of the room.
"Xiao Xin, tell your brother the truth, do you know where Miao Miao's mother went? She didn't marry to the next village, right?!"
The reason why Chi Mu was so sure that the person Lin Miaomiao called brother knew the truth was because he judged based on the rules.
Since the rules call Lin Miaomiao "sister", the story must be told from her brother's perspective.
So which rule should be stated from the brother's voice?
But why does my brother know this?
That's because he witnessed the incident with his own eyes, or he knew the whole story.
Now, Chi Mu knows that the person whom Lin Miaomiao has always called brother is Xiaoxin, and Xiaoxin is still lying. The truth lies with Xiaoxin.
Hearing Chi Mu's serious tone, Xiao Xin buried his head even lower and was unwilling to speak for a long time.
"Brother, I...I don't know anything, don't ask me."
