Chapter 911: A Strange Shadow in the Mountain Village (31)

"Oh my god, it's broad daylight, I must be seeing a ghost!"

"Li, Li Yu, you are not dead?"

"Wait, if you didn't go home last night, where did you go?"

"Li Yu, Li Yu, did you see my Xiu Ping last night? She, she didn't come back all night..."

Gradually, the fact that Yu Huan and Ji Qingyun returned safely attracted the attention of most villagers. Their gazes shifted from the village chief's family and fell on the two people who were supposed to be dead.

Yu Huan and Ji Qingyun looked at each other inconspicuously, and cooperated with each other tacitly to get the matter over with.

"Sister Ji wanted to see Crescent Lake. I led her there last night and accompanied her to Fish Head Mountain. Later..."

"Then I realized it was too dark and it was not safe to go back." Ji Qingyun continued, "So we slept on Yutou Mountain for one night."

There were certain logical loopholes in the reasons the two people went looking for, but the villagers present didn't think much about it. After all, it was a good thing that they returned safely.

The temporary village chief frowned and looked at Yu Huan and the others, his expression turning pale and blue. Li Yanhong, who was beside him, bumped him with her arm and her face didn't look very good either.

The couple had no joy at all over their daughter's safe return; instead, they were filled with worry and tension.

They didn't know whether Li Yu and the female tourist saw the village chief leading the villagers up the mountain when they were on Yutou Mountain, or whether they heard the conversation between the group of people.

Assuming that the two people saw and heard it, Li Yu, as their daughter, would naturally stand on their family's side, but the female tourist named Ji Qingyun... that's not necessarily the case.

The other people are not fools, and those who are quick to react can naturally guess something about the problem that the village head and his wife are worried about.

Coincidentally, Xiaofang's father noticed the strange expressions of the couple, and then glanced at the two people in the crowd. Something flashed through his mind, and he spoke with a serious face and called Yu Huan over.

"Xiaoyu, come in first. Uncle has something to ask you."

"okay."

Yu Huan smiled at her uncle and aunt who cared about her, and she and Ji Qingyun walked through the path that separated the crowd and came to the front yard of their home.

The front yard of the village chief's house is not big, and most villagers stood outside the fence, asking the village chief for an explanation for their dead relatives.

In the front yard, the village chief and Xiaofang's father stood opposite each other.

Behind the village chief was Li Yanhong with a stern face and her little son Li Man, who was grabbing his mother's sleeve and looking a little scared.

Behind Xiaofang's father were the few remaining middle-aged men in the village. Some of them cursed the village chief, some held kitchen knives, and some carried hoes on their shoulders...

Each of them looks fierce and difficult to deal with.

If you don’t know, you might think that Xiaofang’s father and others are here to collect debts and kill people, but based on the current situation, it’s pretty much the same.

Killing requires a life.

The village chief tricked the villagers into going up the mountain, causing the ignorant people to die at the hands of the living dead. He tricked them into going to their deaths, which was actually not much different from killing someone with a borrowed knife.

After learning the truth, Yu Huan knew very well what Xiaofang's father wanted to ask. She also knew the intention and expectation behind the look in the village chief's eyes when he stared at her.

"Good girl, Xiaoyu." Xiaofang's father half squatted down, looked at her at eye level, and spoke in a slightly heavy tone, "Tell us, did you see your father and other uncles in the mountains last night!"

At this moment, Yu Huan's answer became particularly important.

Everyone waited intently for her answer.

Especially the village chief, his palms were sweating with nervousness.

Before Yu Huan and Ji Qingyun came back, the village chief told the public that he did not go up the mountain and that he and the dozen or so dead villagers were separated at the foot of the mountain.

As for the life and death of these people, it has nothing to do with him.

The above pale and weak explanation naturally cannot convince everyone.

However, they had no evidence to prove that what the village chief said was false, because except Li Man, no one had seen the village chief taking people up the mountain that night.

Li Man had already communicated with his parents in a letter, so it was impossible for him to tell the truth against the wishes of the village head and his wife.

The reason why the villagers pointed their fingers at the village chief was very simple.

Xiaofang's father and his friends heard from the village chief that he had a way to get rid of the living dead, and he invited them to go up the mountain together at night, but they finally refused.

Now, all the men who were invited to the mountain are dead, and have mutated into violent zombies. The only survivor is the village chief. Who else can we suspect if not him?

Now that's good, Yu Huan and Ji Qingyun were also on the mountain last night. They might be witnesses, and the village chief's "the innocent are innocent" excuse is going to be shattered.

Ji Qingyun folded her hands and left the right of interpretation to Yu Huan. She did not get involved at all and let her say it or not.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yu Huan glanced at the seemingly calm village chief, then looked back at Xiaofang's father with a serious face, and without much hesitation, he finally told the truth.

"...Yeah, I have."

"My dad and other uncles, last night..."

"Li Yu, shut up—"

Li Yanhong couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily.

This scared everyone present.

As her anger grew, Li Yanhong's cheeks turned red with anger. If the village chief hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed forward to give this unfilial daughter and ungrateful person a good beating.

"You are fed and clothed at home, just to be a gossipmonger outside?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Harsh insults came one after another. Limited by the setting of the character Li Yu, Yu Huan shrank his neck in fear and did not talk back or refute.

Those few words I just said are enough.

Just think of it as revenge for their indifference towards me. Now that I have regained my senses, keeping quiet is the best option.

Not long after, Xiaofang's father called the police.

Despite Li Yanhong's desperate arguments and the village chief's persuasion with the demolition compensation, he remained indifferent and resolutely exposed the matter.

Except for a few villagers who were just watching the show and were reluctant to give up the demolition compensation, most of the villagers whose family members had accidents did not dissuade them. Money cannot buy back human lives. If killing people was not illegal, they would have wanted to stab the village chief to death with a knife.

After calling the police, the police on the other side said that they would not be able to send someone to investigate until tomorrow and hoped that they could understand.

The villagers of Yujia Village have great respect for the police, so naturally they won't care about these one or two days.

Anyway, the village chief will go to jail sooner or later, it’s just a matter of time.

But before that, Xiaofang's father and his men beat the village chief severely and warned him not to try to escape.

After everyone left, Yu Huan and Ji Qingyun hid back in Li Yu's room. Li Yanhong helped up the bruised and swollen village chief, stared at their backs, and wanted to drive them out.

The village chief stopped her weakly.

"Okay, help me in first."

"We'll talk about them later."
