Hamborg and I slowly made our way back to the big house. Although there was still a large group of people in the house, it was possible to see the panic in their eyes. It was also due to the deterrence of that serious old man that he was able to sit here in peace.

There was a woman lying on the tea table in front of the old man. She looked to be in her forties, and her face was covered with a thick layer of powder. At this moment, the woman was lying there motionlessly. It was obvious that she was the one that Little Shun had said was dead.

"What's going on?" I asked directly.

The old man with a stern expression stood up and said, "I was a bit rude just now, but something happened at home again. I hope the two of you can help me take a look."

Hamborg did not lose out on words: "You can call the police, the police will take care of this matter, if the police cannot, wouldn't the Guo Family be able to do the same?"

I saw the old man's face change color, and reached out his hand to stop Hamborg: "Uncle, hello. My surname is Xia. There are some strange things that have been resolved before, but first you have to explain to me what's going on, clearly and thoroughly, or else we won't be able to do it either. " After saying that, I extended my right hand towards the old man …

"Hello, Mr. Xia. My surname is Guo. I'm the village chief." The old man reached out his hand to shake mine, then motioned for us to sit down. "This matter is indeed strange. Since the two of you are also here, I would like to invite you to be my staff officer first."

Hamborg casually rushed in front of me and said, "I say, Village Head Guo, I already said that when you chased us out just now, it would not be as easy as looking for us. Old man, be careful. "

It was obvious that the village head had been sitting for a long time, as if he was the local tyrant. He wasn't used to people talking to him like that, so I smiled and said to him, "Let's talk about the situation first, it's like looking at a doctor. You have to talk about the illness first, only then can the doctor decide whether or not you can treat it."

"Right, right, I'll tell you guys first." This old elder is truly a shrewd individual. How could he not know that I was giving him a way out? Thus, he hurriedly spoke up.

He had to start from the day before, when the Village Head Guo and the accountant, Guo Lao Wu, brought a group of people to the Hot Springs Inn to claim compensation. In order to strengthen his prestige, the group of young men followed him and even invited mourners. In the end, before long, the accountant, Guo Laowu, choked himself to death with a glass of water. Thus, Village Head Guo personally went up to battle. He was extremely busy discussing compensation and friendly relations with the police. However, what he did not expect was that his side of the conversation was in full swing. Something happened at home, and two people died in the village at the same time! The ones who died were his Village Head Guo's mother and third brother.

Old Madam Guo was in her nineties. Her eldest son, the village chief, moved out early in the morning. His second son followed his daughter into the city. Old Madam Guo usually stayed with her family. Even though she was old, the old lady had a strong body. Over 90 people could still work underground, and the villagers all said that 100 years old was not something that could be stopped. This old lady in the village was like a man in distress! He was definitely an existence similar to the Old Ancestor.

The Guo Family's number three had followed them to the Hot Springs Inn. More than fifty people had quite a temper, and almost had a fight with the people at the hotel, so he was persuaded to come back. At noon, he drank some wine and went to bed. After sleeping for two hours, he got up and told his daughter-in-law to go to the toilet, but this time, it was more than half an hour later. His daughter-in-law felt that something was wrong and found her husband kneeling beside the washbasin, letting the water from the water pipe wash his face. When his third wife pulled him, he fell to the ground and lay still, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. Only water was left in his mouth, watching helplessly as he died.

When she found the old lady lying motionlessly on the bed, her daughter-in-law didn't answer at all. She was so anxious that she did not expect to see her like this, the old lady was drenched from head to toe, from head to toe, with her eyes wide open and saliva spurting out of her mouth. It was exactly the same as the way her Old Third had died!

His third daughter-in-law was completely scared out of her wits. With a "shua" sound, she rushed out of the door. Coincidentally, the wife of the accountant, Guo Ol'fifth, came back to buy groceries and was dragged in by Ol 'Three's wife. The two women were stupefied as they stared at the corpses. Normally, a man wouldn't care if they were dead at home, but when had the two rural wives ever seen such a thing before?

Fortunately, Guo Laowu's wife calmed down a little, and called her son over. She reminded him repeatedly not to make any noise, and told him to go and get the Village Head and the others. Thus, the fifth son of the Guo Brothers hurriedly rode his motorcycle to the hotel. Coincidentally, Village Head Guo and the others also wanted to return. Village Head Guo wanted to accept it early and come back the next day. Thus, the two groups of people met at the entrance of the hotel. When the Village Head Guo heard that his mother and brother had suddenly died, they exploded and rushed back with their people.

The next thing we heard was the crying that we heard when we were in the village. In just half a day, the old lady, the village chief's third brother, and the accountant, Guo Laowang, all three of them were dead. Including the electricians and security guards from before, five people died in less than two days in a village.

Village Head Guo had been a village chief for 30 years, and found that something was amiss. These 5 people all had the surname of Guo, could it be that something was wrong? Furthermore, his own mother, third brother, and accountant Guo Laowu all died the same way. The electricians and security personnel had also found the symptoms of drowning, so it would be strange if there was nothing wrong with it! He had given the order to keep his mouth shut and not bring it up again. He would just treat it as an accident and settle it early.

Thus, the old lady and her third son were carried to the Zu Well, and Guo Laowu's body was still changing clothes and putting on makeup. These Guo Family elders gathered around the village chief's house, planning whether or not someone with a different surname would attack the Guo Family. Just as they were thinking this, Little Shun brought the two of us in and the Village Head Guo angrily scolded Little Shun.

As for the woman on the tea table, when she was drinking the water, she was just like Guo Ol'fifth, pouring water into her mouth desperately. As for the woman on the tea table, when she drank the water, she was just like Guo Ol'fifth, pouring water into her mouth.

"That's it?" I tilted my head and looked at Village Head Guo.

Village Head Guo nodded. "Yes, I'm done." He reached for a glass of water, reached for it, and pulled it back.

"Who is she?" I pointed to the woman on the coffee table

Village Head Guo's voice was a little heavy as he said, "Third brother's wife."

I frowned. "So now it's not just your Guo?"

Without waiting for Village Head Guo to reply, Hamborg interrupted with a cold laugh, "I say, Village Head Guo, you still have the most important thing to say."

"Ah?" "What is it?" The Village Chief's face was filled with astonishment.

"After this person dies, bring him to the side of the Ancestral Well. It's said that there's someone inside to accompany him in death. He can't send someone to guard the spirit and not send someone to stand guard. What kind of rule is this?" Hamborg stared straight at Village Head Guo, and asked word by word, "Is there a problem with you, or is there a problem with this Ancestral Well?"

After Hamborg asked this question, the entire room became quiet, with more than twenty people staring straight at Village Head Guo.

Village Head Guo lit up a cigarette with a gloomy face. After fiercely smoking a few mouthfuls, he stared at me and asked, "Even if you guys really have the ability, I will only pay for your peace, is there a need to ask so much?"

I extended my hand to hold Hamborg, and smiled at the Village Head Guo: "Village Head Guo, there are some things that needs to be done before. Since that's the case, let's take our leave first. We'll discuss this after Village Head Guo has decided on what to say. "

Once the conversation was over, I didn't care about the Village Head Guo's dark face as I pulled Hamborg along and left.
