As they were talking, many people were already running towards this side.
The first two families to arrive were the only two families living in the north of the village.
One is Uncle Cheng with a little girl.
Uncle Cheng was sent to Gaoshi Village for reform in the 1960s. Many of the people who lived with him in the cowshed were killed or wounded.
Later he was rehabilitated, but he was unwilling to go back and stayed in Gaoshi Village alone.
Before the group was disbanded, he was in charge of the two cows in the village.
After the group was disbanded, he bought one of the buffaloes and continued to take care of it. From time to time, people from the city came to visit him, and some even invited him to their wedding during the Chinese New Year.
Many people in Gaoshi Village speculated that he must be a master with a certain status and background.
The other family is Gao Haitao, the only child of the Gao family, the predecessor of Gaoshi Village. Because he was ostracized and disliked by the villagers, he has always lived in the north of the village.
"What's going on?" It was Uncle Cheng who asked.
Gao Haitao said, "I heard someone cry for help, so I came out to check."
Brother Qiao Youfu didn’t know how to open his mouth.
Qiao Jiangxin said in a horrified tone, "We don't know either. We came to take a look after dinner, and saw a figure burying something in my homestead, chanting some incomprehensible spell while burying it.
I was scared to death, so I quickly picked up a rotten wooden stake on the ground and asked her who she was. When she heard my voice, she jumped up and wanted to hit me. I was scared too, so I closed my eyes and started smashing things around. ”
Qiao Jiangxin seemed to be terribly frightened, and even trembled as she spoke, "If my uncle and my dad hadn't heard the noise and rushed over to hold me back, I would still be in a state of shock. I was so scared..."
Uncle Cheng turned on his flashlight and shone it towards the figure on the ground. "Who is it?"
Qiao Jiangxin thought, "I don't know. It's too dark to see clearly."
When the flashlight was shone on Lei Hongyin's face, it was impossible to tell who it was.
The bruises and blood stains looked scary, and I didn't know whether it was death or life.
Liu Xinyan screamed in fright.
Qiao Jiangxin also exclaimed.
"This, this... Is this a human or a ghost? Is she dead? I saw her holding a spear and trying to poke me, and I was scared so I hit her~"
Gao Haitao came closer and took a closer look. "I don't know him. He should not be from our village."
Uncle Cheng reached out his hand to feel Lei Hongying's breath, and then touched her carotid artery. "It's okay, she must have fainted."
As they were talking, the large group behind them arrived, and the north of the village was bustling with noise.
"What's going on? I heard someone was beaten to death?"
"Who is it? Are you okay?"
Liu Xinyan glanced at Qiao Jiangxin and said loudly, "I don't know whose family she is, but she came to someone's house to do superstition, and was caught by someone. She was holding a sharp weapon to hurt someone, and the girl was so scared that she lost her mind and hit the person with a tree stump, knocking him unconscious.
My uncle looked at him and said he wasn't dead, but had probably fainted. ”
Qiao Jiangxin glanced at her.
I have no impression. He should be a guest at Uncle Cheng's house. He has guests from the city coming to his house from time to time.
Gao Haitao leaned sideways and said to the people behind him, "Everyone come and see if you recognize him."
Many people gathered around him and asked, "Why do I feel a little familiar?"
"This face doesn't look like a human. How can I recognize her? Judging from her clothes, she's a woman. She looks to be in her teens. Judging from her face... I guess her mother wouldn't recognize her even if she came, right?"
