I looked at each other with burning eyes, and the old lady suddenly panicked: "I don't know, I really don't know... I swear the old lady didn't tell me this."

The old lady lived in an era when women's status was not high, so the ancestors of the Wang family might not tell her the core secrets of the Wang family. However, she would never be unaware of it.

The old lady did not dare to tell the truth because she was afraid that the villagers would seek revenge from the descendants of the Wang family.

I squinted my eyes slightly and looked between each other, my mind running rapidly.

The secret of the sudden death of the warlock in Yulu Village is not important to me. What I want is the whereabouts of the dragon fish. If I have a stalemate with the old lady on this matter, once she is cornered, she might follow me.

The fish dies and the net breaks.

Ghost Si once told me: Extorting a confession is similar to fishing. If you tighten the fishing line too tight, the big fish will have to escape even if its mouth is opened by the hook. However, if you loosen it and tighten it, it will hurt, and then you will give it pain.

When there is hope, it does not escape.

If I press further, I'm afraid I'll lose more than I gain.

I calmly changed the subject: "What about the dragon fish? Where was it?"

"I don't know!" The old lady shook her head and said, "The old lady never mentioned anything about arowana!"

"This is weird!" I couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Zhuang and the others definitely don’t know the whereabouts of the dragon fish, otherwise, they would have taken the fish out and traded it with the water ghosts long ago. The only clue to the dragon fish is with the Wang family, and the old lady doesn’t even know about it!

I thought for a moment and asked, "How far away is Dazhuli from here?"

"The big pillar is in Yuanshan Village, a day's journey away from here!" The old lady said: "Liu Baozi and the others all know the location of Yuanshan Village, and they went to pick up the bride."

I turned to look at Zhao Zhuang: "Where are the ghost tripods from your six families? Are they all here?"

Zhao Zhuang shook his head on the spot and said: "I don't have a ghost tripod at home. I have never heard my ancestors say that."

My expression suddenly changed slightly, and several other people also denied that there was a ghost tripod in the house.

I seemed to understand a lot after thinking about it. If everyone in the village knew about the ghost cauldron, how could the people who deceived the Wang family incense burner not see that there was a ghost cauldron hidden in the incense burner?

I thought for a moment and said: "Zhao Zhuang, take two capable warlocks and follow me to find the big pillar of the Wang family. The rest of the people stay in the village to look for the ghost tripod. Even if you dig three feet in the ground, you have to find the tripod. Most of them are in the village.

Look under the seven trees or at various old houses, maybe there are any clues."

"While I'm away, don't take action against the water ghost. You are no match for her. The other thing is to move the remaining people in the village to the mountains and wait for us to come back. And..."

I pondered: "Is there anyone in your village who is eloquent and courageous? It's best to be a woman. Let her talk to the water ghost and try to buy some time with us. Otherwise, if we come back and forth, we might have a fight.

More than ten lives will be lost if we go in. If we can persuade the water ghost, maybe a few more people will die."

Zhao Zhuang gritted his teeth and said: "I am the one who caused the trouble in the village. My old Zhao family has great strength. Let my old lady do this! No one except her dares to talk to ghosts."

After Zhao Zhuang returned home, he rushed back with two middle-aged warlocks. Those two men with fierce faces should be brothers. Just by their looks, they could make people feel good just by standing around without saying anything.

hairy.

Zhao Zhuang should have understood what I meant by being able.

I looked at the two brothers with a smile: "Have you ever killed anyone before? Do you dare to kill someone?"

One of them replied: "Now that we have reached this point, what else can we dare to do? We dare not kill anyone, so who will save our wives and children?"

"That's ok! Let's go!" I turned around and walked forward.

Old Liu Tou took us over the back hill of Yuzhu Village and into the mountainous area. He didn’t say much along the way. It wasn’t until it was almost dark that Old Liu Tou whispered behind me: “Mr. Li, let’s go

Can you not take action? There are all honest people in the distant mountain villages. If this happens..."

I asked casually: "How do you know that there are all honest people in the distant mountain villages?"

"I've been there!" Old Liu Tou said: "To say that the remote mountain villages are actually more isolated than ours. The village is built in a ravine, and many people have never been out of the mountains in their lives."

"I heard that Yuanshan Village was moved to the mountains to survive when the Japs came. They lived by farming and hunting. The people in the village are honest!"

Old Liu Tou led me all the way into the mountains: "It turned out that there were dozens of families in Yuanshan Village, but then they were opened up and everyone moved away."

"The year before last, I went to Yuanshan Village. There were only two families left there, and one of them was the mother of two pillars. There were several fools in that family. They only knew how to farm and eat, and they couldn't do anything else.

Just stay."

"There is another family who is an old bachelor who has lived alone all his life. That old man is quite nice. If we can ask him something, why don't you embarrass him?"

I originally wanted to joke with him, but out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of a coffin-shaped stone.
