Chapter 112: Standing on the Side

The shop owner paused for a moment when he said this, as if recalling the scene at that time, his expression became frightened involuntarily. It wasn't until he took the water bowl handed over by Zhou Rong and drank a few big sips that he calmed down again.

Chen Xiaomeng sat on the wooden chair, leaning her upper body slightly forward, and lowered her voice and said, "So Xiaoshijian Village was cursed by those dead women?"

"Well," the shop owner nodded, "soon after the police left, people began to go missing in Xiaoshijian Village. No one thought about it at first, but as more and more people disappeared, some people realized that this It’s revenge from the dead women.”

"Especially" his voice suddenly became weird, and his lips trembled a few times, "after finding the bodies of those men."

"What's wrong with the corpse?" It was Ben Fu who spoke. He shrank back and his pupils were slightly widened, showing a look of curiosity and fear.

"The corpse was in a very miserable condition." At this point, the shop owner seemed to suddenly feel a little cold, and pulled up the coat on his body before continuing: "It is said that some people had their eyes, noses, and some other things gouged out. His limbs were broken and hung on a tree, and all the skin on his body was peeled off, neatly folded, and placed under the tree. In short, it’s as miserable as it gets.”

"Tell me, can this kind of thing be done by a human being?"

There is no doubt about the existence of ghosts in the so-called curse. At least for Jiang Cheng and his party, the tasks they have experienced so far are all related to supernatural events.

"Crunch——"

"Crunch——"

There was a sound coming from behind, and it was heard slowly. There was a faint light in the darkness, and a woman with a kerosene lamp slowly came down the stairs.

The woman has a sallow complexion and is plainly dressed.

Zhou Rong recognized the woman at a glance. She was the shop owner's wife.

The wooden stairs were in disrepair and let out a dying whimper as the woman walked.

The shop owner seemed to be afraid of his wife. When he saw the woman, he stood up hurriedly, and finally turned around and told the group: "Listen to my advice, no matter what the reason is, don't have anything to do with those people and that village. !”

He stared at Zhou Rong's clothes, pursed his lips, raised his head and said at a very fast speed: "I can see that you are not ordinary people, but the problems in the village are not something you can solve. In order to solve the curse, Xiaoshijian Village spent a lot of money to hire talented people from all over the country, but those people never came out after entering the village. "

Gritting his teeth, the shop owner seemed to have made a decision for everyone, "You guys have a good rest tonight. I will see you off from the back door tomorrow morning. You will not be charged for food and accommodation. You should leave early." Come on, never come back again.”

It can be seen that the shop owner is a very simple person. He does not want everyone to be involved in the curse of Xiaoshijian Village and die in vain.

But he didn't understand that it was the task of Jiang Cheng and his team to solve the curse.

If the curse cannot be lifted within the specified time, then all the people in front of them will die.

Of course, these words cannot be said to the store owner.

After saying these words, the shop owner helped the woman to leave. Jiang Cheng glanced at the woman's belly vaguely.

Under the simple clothes, the woman's belly was slightly bulging, presumably because she was pregnant.

This also explains why the store owner was so nervous when he saw the woman walking down the stairs alone. It turned out that he was worried about something unexpected.

After the store owner and the woman left, everyone sat around the table and began to discuss the next plan.

Naturally, they would not listen to the store owner and leave, but they gradually became divided into two groups regarding what to do next.

Several people, led by the old man Pei Qian, advocated being more conservative. They would not go to Xiaoshijian Village with the village chief and others tomorrow. Instead, they would stay in Anping Town and continue to inquire about the news. When the time is right, it would not be too late to go to the village.

However, Zhou Rong raised objections. He advocated going to Xiaoshijian Village tomorrow. Although there was no time limit for this mission, it should be sooner rather than later.

What's more, Anping Town is not the mission location, so the possibility of finding clues is very low.

The two sides were at loggerheads, and no one could convince the other.

Finally someone suggested that everyone vote by show of hands.

The proposal was approved.

Jiang Zhongyi slowly raised his hand and said: "I support Mr. Pei Qian's view. We should investigate clearly before going, otherwise we will rush in and people will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Man crossed his arms and sneered: "I agree, I will go to you tomorrow and I will stay."

After she said this, she glanced at Zhou Rong, obviously intending to demonstrate.

After all, the two of them had never dealt with each other before.

There were also three people standing on Zhou Rong's side: Zhou Rong, Chen Xiaomeng, and Li Lu.

Li Lu looked weak and spoke in a low voice, but she was very resolute in going to Xiaoshijian Village.

This also made some other people have a changed view of her.

Next, Jiang Cheng and Penfolds remained, but the attitude of these two people also determined the final choice of this team.

After all, they are not newcomers, so they naturally understand the rule of horror movies that they should never separate until the last moment.

Under the pressure of the two parties' attention, Penfolds felt a lot of pressure.

He has a very clear understanding of himself, he is just a follower, and he survived the last mission only because he was hugged by his lap.

He couldn't afford to offend anyone in the team.

"I I abstain," he whispered, glancing left and right.

Pei Gan glanced at him and said nothing, but Zhou Rong looked at him with a cold look.

After Ben Fu found out, he didn't dare to look Zhou Rong in the face and chose to hide.

Now, only Jiang Cheng was left.

His vote was crucial.

Pei Gan, who had always been indifferent, spoke first: "This little brother," his voice was not loud, but it gave people a very credible feeling, "The choice you are about to make may determine the life and death of our team. I hope you can be cautious."

Seeing Pei Gan speak, Zhou Rong was not to be outdone, "Mr. Yin," he looked at Jiang Cheng and said anxiously: "I believe you must know how precious time is in the mission. Although I am more risky to do this, but..."

Jiang Cheng sat carelessly on the wooden chair in the middle, feeling the star-like gazes, he slowly picked up the water cup in his hand, but found that the cup was empty, and he couldn't help frowning and making a "tsk" sound.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhongyi, who was very discerning, immediately took the kettle and filled the cup in Jiang Cheng's hand.

After drinking the water in the cup with satisfaction, Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhongyi who was holding a kettle in front of him with satisfaction, and then slowly said: "I support"

Jiang Zhongyi's face turned red with excitement.

"I support Zhou Rong," Jiang Cheng said, "After all, Xiao Longnu is my good friend, and we..." He looked at Chen Xiaomeng very seriously.

"We had an affair."
