Chapter 273 Nothing
"Disappeared?" Song Yan looked at Mo Jingzhi thoughtfully. Mo Jingzhi looked around nervously, as if he was worried that he would speak louder and be heard. Mo Jingzhi leaned against Song Yan, nodded and said, "My sister-in-law went to look for her in the middle of the night. I don't remember much about that time, but I know that the sister-in-law of the young lady from the Wu family said that she heard something fall on the ground, so she went to check, but found that the young lady was not in her room."
After taking a sip of tea to moisten his dry saliva, Mo Jingzhi tried to recall everything that happened that night, frowning slightly, looking at the tall mountain on the left. "After that, I believe Wu Genji's sister-in-law made a lot of noise in the village, called the Wu family, and even ran around the village, waking up the villagers one by one. The whole village and the Wu family were woken up. The guards went to look for the young lady, but no one found her, as if she disappeared into the air. No one found her, and later someone in the village suggested going to the mountain to have a look, saying that they would hear some sounds at night. Some kind of whispers from the graves were calling them."
When she told Song Yan about these whispers, Mo Jingzhi trembled all over and covered the rabbit's foot around his neck. "The villagers said that the whispers were calling them, and sometimes they would get up from the bed as if they wanted to go somewhere, but were stopped by the ropes and cords tied around their ankles. Of course, the Wu family called it that. It was nothing more than feudal superstition, completely disregarding the villagers' claims, but considering that the mountain was the only place where no one was looking for their daughter, the Wu couple agreed to send guards up the mountain, but their family guards were young people from outside the area. When had they ever seen the mountain terrain? They immediately asked the villagers to lead the way. After the underground tombs were excavated, no one in the village went up the mountain, so many villagers immediately refused, but then the Wu family did it. Proposed money, the village landlords and some greedy villagers all agreed."
She raised her head and looked at Song Yan, flicking her tongue on her lower lip. "My father is one of those greedy villagers. He wanted to earn the two thousand yuan given by the Wu family and rent a house in the city. He believed that if he could get it, he would be able to turn things around. "My grandmother refused that money. She firmly believed that there was something on the mountain, and we would only make it stronger if we went up. She told my father that if he went up the mountain, she would take me to live with him. Then he was in a separate hut. My father did not listen to her and went up the mountain with the guards of the Wu family and some villagers. They were all over the mountain, and my father found the young lady of the Wu family. When she lay unconscious in front of the door of the underground tomb, many villagers who believed in the whispers in the tomb were not surprised. In fact, they seemed to have expected it, but what surprised everyone was that the young lady from the cemetery, the legs of the young lady of the Wu family, were facing the door of the tomb. "
If Wu Genji fainted with her face facing the tomb door, it means that she fainted before entering the tomb, but if her legs were facing the tomb door, it means "she entered that place."
"Everyone thinks so," Mi Jingzhi nodded. "Many villagers witnessed it, but the Wu family just gave everyone another hundred yuan and asked us to keep it a secret. They said that their daughter was curious by nature and must have been wandering around in the graves. Out of curiosity, they even threatened some of us, saying that they didn't want any rumors about their daughter in the future."
Mo Jingzhi put the teacup on the table and wiped his lips with the back of his hand. "So no one dared to say anything to their daughter, because nothing happened after the girl was knocked down, and everyone else let down their guard, but a month later my father disappeared."
She held the warm teacup in front of her, sniffed gently, and continued: "He was still very unhappy with what my grandmother said, but he loved me and my mother very much, so he rented a house in the village and lived there. "My grandmother drove him out, and he didn't believe in those feudal superstitions, and said that my grandmother was stingy because he didn't listen to her. But after the Wu family's daughter went down the mountain, my father went to the fields to harvest vegetables and cultivate the fields, but he never came back. "
Mo Jingzhi's voice became smaller and smaller, and tears flowed down her cheeks. Seeing this, Song Yan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Mo Jingzhi's voice was a little hoarse. Song Yan gave her time to calm down and did not urge her to continue. As a helpless daughter, she understood Mo Jingzhi's feelings. Mo Jingzhi cried for a few minutes, sniffed, cleared his throat, and said, "No one knows where he went. Many villagers saw him go to the fields, but no one saw him come back. The only thing left was a pile of clothes."
