Chapter 101: The Mahjong Game of Old Tomb Mountain
??????? Is there a reaction from the rabbit here? Wang Junhui also frowned and said, "I didn't expect that we would have work to do just here!" ”
Obviously, Wang Junhui also noticed the abnormality.
Is Wang Junhui here? I'm not going to let the rabbit go? Leave it in the car? After all, it is also wounded now.
Think about it this way. Are we three of us? As if none of them are completely healthy? Our injury team came out to deal with the case? It's really a little weird.
Wang Junhui was the first to get out of the car and walk to the store? Me and Lin Sen are close behind? Before entering the store? The doors of my eyes have been opened.
Inside this shop? We found out. This village shop is the structure of a supermarket? No more old-fashioned counters? How many shelves are stocked with snacks and groceries? Is there a small single room on the right side of the room? The sound of mahjong comes from inside.
The three of us coming in? Immediately, a woman in her thirties with a child in her arms asked us what we wanted.
Wang Junhui casually took some snacks such as bread and ham on the shelf? Then I asked the proprietress that? Inside is not a chess and card room.
The lady said "yes" and asked where we were from. What are you doing here?
Originally, I thought that Wang Junhui would come up with a good reason this time? Unexpectedly, he said directly: "We are here for Wang Jinhu's suicide." ”
Speak at the same time. Wang Junhui also settled the account of the things he took.
Listened to Wang Junhui's words? The woman's face showed some surprise and said, "Wang Jinhu? Jinhu in our village?"
Wang Junhui nodded? Don't stop looking in the direction of the private room? It looks like that dirty thing is in the chess and card room inside.
The woman continued: "What else is there to investigate? People are dead. Died of drinking medicine at home? People have been buried for almost a month? Shouldn't you be in Hu'er and die of medicine?"
When we're talking here. A dark shadow slowly floated out of the room inside? That dark shadow after seeing the three of us? I ran out of the window of this supermarket with a "whoosh".
Wang Junhui naturally saw this scene? No more nonsense too? He took the things he had bought, said, "If you have something to do, go first", and left the small supermarket.
Lin Sen and I still followed closely behind like.
Out of this little supermarket? We found that the dark shadow was long gone? And in the rear window of the car? The rabbit's little paws keep scratching on the glass? It seems that it saw the black shadow just now and wanted to chase it.
I walked over to the car and quieted it. Wang Junhui, on the other hand, looked towards a dark path into the village.
Is the trail an uphill? Paved with a lot of stones? Barely able to get through a tractor? But our car couldn't get through at all.
Is this village built on the hill? In addition to roadside restaurants, gas stations and small supermarkets? The other houses are almost halfway up the hill.
Because you can't see where the shadow goes? We were all stunned for a moment.
The female boss of the supermarket chased the child out and continued: "Huh? Did you drink medicine and die when you entered the tiger?"
Can't catch up with that black shadow for a while? Wang Junhui asked her, "Do you have a place to stay in your village?"
The woman pointed to her supermarket plaque and said, "We have it here." ”
We looked up a bit? Is it a cardboard? On it are written diagonally with two brush words "accommodation".
The three of us met and smiled? And then I stayed here.
There's a yard at the back of this shop? Our car can also be driven directly into it? A circle of bungalows in the backyard? There is also a sect number written in red paint on the door? It can be seen that this is a simple small hotel.
See these rooms? I asked curiously, "Is this so far away?" Are there any guests who will stay here?"
The woman smiled and said, "How many will there be in the check?" Are they all city people who come into the mountains to play? Especially in the summer? Those who ride into the mountains? A lot of them choose to spend the night with me. ”
A brief overview of what's going on here? We're going to stay here for the time being? Then I went to a nearby restaurant and had some more meals.
After that, we will go back to our accommodation to rest? Wang Junhui said that it was a little late tonight? For the time being, I won't bother Wang Jinhu's family.
After you come back? The three of us went to visit the chess and card room? That boss lady has nothing to do? I also got together with the three of us and played mahjong.
There are only two mahjong tables in this chess and card room? The other card is played by the local villagers and the owner of this small shop.
We're playing mahjong on our side? I talked to the proprietress about Wang Jinhu? The people at the other table also interjected from time to time.
We know by chatting? Wang Jinhu often came here to play mahjong before his death? is a regular here.
When did you hear this? I can't help but wonder? Is the black shadow that walked away from here just now Wang Jinhu? Could he have become a ghost? Addicted to cards? Running here to watch people play mahjong, right?
In other words? He was a complete "gambler".
While I'm thinking about this? I'm just throwing a card? The proprietress happily said "touch".
How long has this card been played? We're chatting and getting acquainted? The people here began to talk about the month before Wang Jinhu's death.
That's about the way it happened.
Wang Jinhu was originally a frequent visitor to this chess and card room? And the brand is also good? Never owe money? That's why the villagers who come here to play mahjong like to play with him.
And although Wang Jinhu likes to play cards? But you never delay the work of the crops in the field? He will do everything he can to earn money for his family.
For example, in the summer, when the scorpions on the mountain are thriving? He would go up the mountain alone at night to catch scorpions.
Listen to the villagers about this? I just asked them? How do you catch scorpions in the middle of the night? Can you see it?
The villagers smiled and explained it to me? So catch scorpions now? Isn't it what we think we are, looking for it one stone at a time? Rather, there are specialized tools? Is it an ultraviolet flashlight? Just take a picture on the ground at night? Those scorpions that come out to forage will emit light spots? It's easy to identify.
Because scorpions are nocturnal? Plus this tool? Is that much easier to catch? If you're lucky, you can earn two or three hundred dollars a night.
Is it also because Wang Jinhu can make money? So his wife never said anything about him playing mahjong? The key is that Wang Jinhu plays cards, but also wins more and loses less.
Wang Jinhu before this person goes up the mountain to catch scorpions every summer? Have such a habit? In the evening, how many rounds will he go to this chess and card room to play first? Waiting for it to get dark? He set out for the mountain.
One day before Wang Jinhu went up the mountain? Passing by the chess and card room? But didn't get in? The proprietress asked him why he didn't play today? Wang Jinhu smiled and said, "I'm going to play mahjong in Laofen Mountain?" There are many scorpions there. ”
At that time, the proprietress only thought that Wang Jinhu had said the wrong thing? Didn't care.
But then Wang Jinhu never entered the chess and card room here? Did someone else ask about him? Just a word? Go to "Old Tomb Mountain to play mahjong?" And Wang Jinhu really comes back every day? You can catch a scorpion for three or four hundred dollars.
Want to know ordinary people? If you're lucky? It's just over two hundred dollars.
So there are a lot of people in the village who catch scorpions at night? Are they all concentrated in the old tomb mountain area? But after a few days, people found out? The scorpions they caught here? Not half as much as they've caught elsewhere.
So the people in the village thought that Wang Jinhu was lying.
And they said that when they went to the old tomb mountain at night? I have never seen Wang Jinhu nearby.
So there were rumors in the village? Did Wang Jinhu deliberately deceive the people in the village? Where does he catch scorpions? It's on a different mountain.
So a few scorpion catchers in the village began to follow Wang Jinhu? But they found out that Wang Jinhu was indeed walking in the direction of the old tomb mountain? Can you walk and walk? They found that Wang Jinhu disappeared after turning over a few slopes.
Looking for him again in the village? I can't find it.
Come back the next day? Wang Jinhu caught a lot of scorpions again.
For a few days, the people in the village wanted to go with Wang Jinhu? But no matter how close you are? Will they always be lost for some reason? So everyone gave up.
Waiting for the weather? Turning to autumn? There are fewer scorpions in the mountains? The people of the village gradually stopped going up the mountain.
But Wang Jinhu still runs into the mountains every day? But he couldn't bring back the scorpion.
Everyone asked him what he was doing in the mountains? He just said, "Playing mahjong".
Summer? Can Wang Jinhu still come back with some scorpions? The family thinks he's catching scorpions? I didn't pursue the matter.
But then Wang Jinhu couldn't catch the scorpion? Still going to the Old Tomb Mountain? Does his family think there's something strange about this? In private, he also followed this Wang Jinhu to the old tomb mountain several times? It's a pity that they also lost halfway through.
Waiting for Wang Jinhu to come back? The family pressed him? What the hell are you doing at night? Where the hell did you go.
And Wang Jinhu's wife also threatened Wang Jinhu with divorce to say it.
Wang Jinhu had no choice but to say such a thing? He said that the old grave ridge in the old tomb mountain? Got a ruined temple? There will be three people there waiting for him to play mahjong every night? What if he wins? Those people will give him all the scorpions they caught? What if you lose? Will they ask Wang Jinhu to help them do some small things? Like when you come the next day? Take a few eggs or steamed buns and something like that. Bean estimation skills.
Wang Jinhu's wife? Ask him how there is such a good thing in the world? Wang Jinhu said? At first he didn't believe it? Later, it was also true that he won so many scorpions every day, right? Didn't he catch those himself? It was won from those three.
Wang Jinhu's wife still doesn't believe it? She asked Wang Jinhu? When did she follow him to the Old Grave Ridge last night? Passed by that ruined temple too? Why didn't you see him inside? And why has he been going home empty-handed lately?
Wang Jinhu shook his head and said? I don't know? He shook his head and swore that he was really in the ruined temple? And why did he go home empty-handed? The reason is simple? Bad luck these days? Didn't win.
To prove yourself? Wang Jinhu decided to take his wife to meet the three people the next day.
