Chapter 232 Crying at midnight 6
An Chuning was very angry.
Everyone frowned and looked uncomfortable.
Even though I knew this was just a recording of a show, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken for what happened to Juanzi in the story.
"Now that we have found the cause of the villagers' strange deaths, we have completed one of the tasks. There are still two tasks. One is to find out the source of the crying, and the other is to save innocent people."
"I think the only innocent person should be Juanzi's sister. We can just take her with us when we leave."
"Then there is only one task left to complete, the source of the crying."
After Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking, he looked at the engineering drawings again.
"Do you know where this bridge is?"
Shen Jingwen: "When we came here, we passed by a bridge. The director specifically introduced it, saying that the bridge was called the Mother-Child Bridge. The bridge we passed by was called the Mother Bridge. There is also a bridge built in imitation of it, called the Son Bridge. It should be around the village, you can look for it."
"Also, the director mentioned the length and height of the bridge. I thought I might need those data later, so I wrote them down."
"The data the director mentioned is exactly half of the data marked on the engineering drawing."
Du Nuo looked at Ana Shen in admiration: “Jingwen, well done!”
He didn't hear anything at the time and was only focused on teasing Zheng Yilun. It seems that he must remember what was said on the show in the future.
Jian Xingye gave Shen Jingwen a thumbs up.
Zhou Wei took a look at the surrounding environment and sighed: "What should we do after we find the bridge? How can we save Juanzi? Could it be that we have to destroy the bridge?"
He is willing to do so, but he is afraid that the program team will not agree.
When he heard that strength was needed, Zheng Yilun raised his hand actively, "I'll smash it, I'm very strong!"
Zheng Yilun gestured at his biceps.
Lin Xiuyuan pushed away his arm that was covering his face with a look of disgust.
Zhou Wei's words reminded him that there should be a prop that could be used to save people.
"Everyone, search Juanzi's room first. If you find nothing, you can go to that old lady's house to look for it."
"As for the middle-aged man with the axe, he should be Juanzi's father. You can ask the little girl later and find the middle-aged man's room."
Everyone now regards Lin Xiuyuan as their backbone and does what he says.
After searching the room, I found nothing except a bed made of straw, firewood, and a place to keep pigs.
An Chuning and Shen Jingwen felt more and more sad.
"Jingwen, do you see any words here?" When An Chuning was searching on the bed, he suddenly found small words on the bed board.
Ana Shen was searching for the bedside table. When she heard her voice, she leaned in to take a closer look and read out, “How strange! Mom bought me new clothes today and gave me meat to eat.”
My father gave me a dollar and asked me to go to the store to buy some candy.
Grandma Zhao came to our house and cut a section of my hair.
I heard that my father sold me to a construction team outside for ten thousand yuan.
I wanted to escape, so I went to the grove to ask the village chief for help. The village chief sent me back, but my father was afraid that I would run away, so he tied me up with a rope.
I saw that the uncles and aunts working in the construction team in the village divided the money in their own yard.
My father cut my hand with a knife, and the villagers used my blood to draw something on their faces.
I’m so scared…
Everyone else gathered around and listened quietly as Ana Shen finished reading the words on the bed board.
Zhou Wei said: "That old woman should be Grandma Zhao. Maybe Juanzi's hair is the prop to save her."
Everyone has the same opinion.
"Let's go, and take the little girl with us." Zheng Yiluan went out ahead of the crowd.
“The person is missing!”
Even the clay dolls on the ground disappeared.
Everyone hurriedly searched all the rooms, but no one was found.
Lin Xiuyuan: "Let's not look for her yet. Let's go to the old woman. There should be more stories about the girl that we haven't unlocked yet."
That’s why talented people disappear.
The group followed An Chuning and found the old woman's home.
Unexpectedly, they saw the little girl in the old woman's house.
However, the old woman’s face was blue and black, and she looked “dead”.
Surrounded by little girls making clay dolls.
“Little friend, why are you here?” Ana Shen couldn’t see this scene, and swallowed involuntarily before asking her question.
"Grandma Zhao wants to cut my hair."
An Chuning: "Do you mean that Grandma Zhao brought you here to cut your hair?"
The little girl didn't say yes or no, she just smiled brightly.
"The clay doll was hungry and ate Grandma Zhao."
She said something else, then ignored everyone again and lowered her head to continue playing with the mud in her hands.
This explanation made everyone think that Juanzi was protecting the little girl and killed Grandma Zhao.
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at the clay doll on the ground and said, "Let's go and find Juanzi's hair first."
Zheng Yilun volunteered: "I'll watch over the girl outside."
Jian Xing: “Okay.”
Everyone went in and searched around, and finally found a small wooden box under the old woman's bed.
There is a lock on the wooden box.
They took the wooden box and found the key from the old woman.
After opening it, there was a rag doll with braids inside.
Zhou Wei: "Could the braids on this doll's head be Juanzi's hair?"
An Chuning: "It's possible. The hair quality looks very much like real hair."
Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything. He picked up the doll and found that the doll's belly was hard. When he opened it, he found a confession letter inside.
It turned out that the so-called driving piles was a vicious method devised by the villagers. In order to make more money, they secretly did things that prevented the construction team from carrying out the construction smoothly.
When the construction team was getting anxious because the deadline was getting closer, they pushed the old woman out to act out a drama and then brought up the issue of driving piles.
The person in charge, desperate to find a cure, had evil intentions and agreed to the pile driving.
On the surface, it seemed that only the old woman knew about this matter, but in fact, when the person in charge started to contact Juanzi's family, they came out and used this matter to blackmail the person in charge for hush money.
Juanzi's parents are patriarchal, so of course they are willing to sacrifice a daughter in exchange for wealth.
Although the old woman did this, she could not rest day or night, and she held the rag doll every day and repented.
An Chuning: "Too vicious!"
The greed of a group of people destroyed a life.
Dunuo looked painful: "They are parents themselves!"
Lin Xiuyuan thought of his parents. He lowered his eyes to hide his emotions and said calmly, "Let's go find the bridge."
Everyone was silent, holding the wooden box and going out, Ana Shen asked the little girl: “Little girl, do you know where the bridge built in the village is?”
"Yes, just keep going up this road and you will reach it."
"Uncle doesn't know the way, can you come with me?"
