Chapter Twenty-Nine: Strange Powers and Confusion

"It's a good story. Wen Qing said: "The content is all from a novel that was not popular in Lancheng during the Republic of China. ”

"Novel?" Su Nian's face was strange.

Wen Qing explained: "The author, You Jingcong, was a reporter at Lancheng Daily when he was young, and because he filmed the lace news of the Lancheng Police Chief at that time, he was disposed of, broke a leg, and was kicked out of the newspaper. ”

"So he started writing novels?" Su Nian also understood.

At that time, the most common money-making business for those engaged in literature was translating foreign manuscripts, so most of the famous writers at that time also worked part-time as translators.

But this You Jingcong was only a small reporter for the daily newspaper before, and he may not have any solid foreign language skills, and he may not have that way.

So I had to settle for the next best thing and write some popular novels to sell words.

However, the novel industry at that time was already sluggish, especially popular novels, and most of the readers were rich children who had nothing to do, so the audience was very narrow, and it was very difficult to think about it.

If you want to come to You, Jingcong is also poor and has a very hard life.

"You Jingcong has a big problem writing novels, I have read his novels, and they are written like press releases. I can still write some non-fiction literature, and it's strange if I don't write novels. Wen Qing criticized mercilessly.

"So, You Jingcong's novels are all documentary?" Su Nian heard the meaning.

"Yes, including the one with red embroidered shoes, it's all real. Wen Qing handed Su Nian a book of novels with You Jingcong's name written on it.

Su Nian saw the numbered label on it, and it is estimated that it is also one of the museum's inventory, so it is quite well preserved.

After looking through it, this person's text is really boring, and Su Nian didn't plan to read it carefully, so he directly found the one with red embroidered shoes.

The name of this article is "The Red Shoe Girl Meteor River".

Su Nian: ......

Sure enough, it's the style of the press release.,An overview of the topic.,But it's a pity that it's not fascinating at all in the novel.,So everyone knows that this woman is going to die in the end.,The content is naturally much less fun.。

I went through it from beginning to end, and the story of the woman in the red shoes and the man with the negative heart was written in great detail. The story is told from the perspective of a neighbor's standpoint, and the whole story is watched as a third person.

But from this perspective, it is difficult to explain the process of the woman in the red shoes written in it after seeing the man cheating outside, and then leaving the city and jumping into the river to her death.

It's impossible for a neighbor of yours to see this! And why don't you stop someone jumping into the river? It can be seen that You Jingcong has been fumbling for half his life, and he has not written such a thing as a novel.

And how did You Jingcong know these details?

But in the end, Su Nian didn't see what the name of the river was written on it.

Wen Qing said: "It is written in the book that the woman in the red shoes went out of the city and staggered eastward, and there was a river to the east of Lancheng. ”

Su Nian also nodded: "So, you plan to go and see it today." ”

"I'm calling you along. Wen Qing was not polite.

"Okay. "Anyway, this matter is still his pot in the end, Su Nian has been mentally prepared for a long time, and the real eye drops have always been on his body.

After saying a few words to their stomachs, Su Nian got into Wenqing's car, and today it was another one......

didn't care about these details, Su Nian said: "Since the girl in the red shoes jumped into the river and died, then these shoes were either left on the shore, or they were put on by others when they were buried after the body was found." Maybe by finding the provenance of these shoes, we can find out what the woman in the red shoes is trying to tell us. ”

Wen Qing also agreed: "But it is unlikely that they will be worn after death, people in that era did not have so much money to tidy up their remains, and these shoes were not cheap at that time." ”

So the two of them went all the way east, along the highway out of the city, and they arrived next to a big river in the east of Lancheng.

Su Nian ordered two drops of eye drops, looked at the female ghost behind Wen Qing and asked, "This is where you fell?"

The female ghost nodded, sobbing and rippling.

"Then when you jumped into the river, did you leave the red embroidered shoes on the shore?" asked Su Nian again.

The female ghost nodded again and pointed to the right.

Su Nian followed the direction pointed by the female ghost and said, "Go over there." ”

Wen Qing drove forward, and it didn't take long for the female ghost to come to the largest wild scenic spot on the outskirts of Lancheng in the expectant eyes......

"Are you sure it's here?" Su Nian was a little suspicious.

This park is indeed the largest around Lancheng, and he remembers that it is still a scenic area of several A's, which is quite famous.

"Okay. Su Nian and Wen Qing glanced at each other, then got out of the car, bought a ticket and walked in, and then rented two mopeds at the door, and kept moving along the riverbank.

The look of anticipation on the female ghost's face became stronger and stronger, and Su Nian suddenly thought that there were still such goods as red embroidered shoes hanging in the system points exchange store.

If the points are enough, Su Nian can have as many as he wants...... Doesn't that mean that there are countless ghosts living in the system?

Su Nian felt a little toothache, this kind of thing hurting others and hurting himself is really troublesome, just for a blind date, Su Nian really doesn't want to exchange this thing again.

After changing the eye medicine three times and riding almost a quarter of the riverbank of the scenic area, the female ghost pointed to a building by the river and shouted.

Of course, it was she who was shouting, and Su Nian couldn't hear it.

asked Wen Qing to stop the car, Su Nian took a look at the small building, and was stunned.

"River Temple?" Su Nian and Wen Qing looked at each other in confusion.

People like the Red Shoe Girl who fell into the water, who could not find their biological parents and had no friends to claim them, were generally buried on the spot at that time.

Was she buried here in the first place? And then there was a river temple built on top of it?

Su Nian and Wen Qinghu were suspicious, and walked into the River Temple to take a look, their eyes full of surprise. The statue of the river god in the river temple is a woman, and it is exactly the same as the female ghost behind Wen Qing!

What's going on? Su Nian was shocked.

Wen Qing looked around, and then picked up the brochure next to the River Temple, which contained the history and legends of the River Temple, her eyes lit up, and she called: "Su Nian, come and see!"

Su Nian took the brochure and glanced at it, only then did he know what was going on.

It turned out that the river in Lancheng happened to be overflowing, and when the flood was about to end, the red-shoeed girl happened to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river and went down the river to this place.

It is recorded in the booklet that people sacrificed three animals to the river god by the river, hoping that the river god would recover the flood and bless the wind and rain on both sides.

The whole festival lasted for a whole day, and in the evening, the clouds finally cleared and the sun could set. As the sun shines on the smoother and calmer surface of the river, the water begins to shrink rapidly into the channel.

The people cheered, but suddenly found a beautiful woman lifted out of the river.

The woman was born with the beauty of the country, and I felt pity, but unfortunately there was no life. The people took pity on the woman and thought it was an oracle from the river god, so they buried her here and built the river temple.

Since then, the river has never flooded this section again.

Su Nian scratched his head: "Obviously, this woman is the girl with red shoes, is the River Temple really so godly?"

"God's fart!" Wen Qing scoffed: "After the year of the flooding, the river began to be treated from the upstream, so it has not been flooded again." ”

"So, what do you want us to do?" Su Nian looked at the female ghost.

The female ghost pointed to the red embroidered shoes on her feet, and then pointed to the bare feet of the river god statue, and her pitiful appearance suddenly made Su Nian understand.

The body is here, but the soul is left in the place of death, pinned on the red embroidered shoes, and it is suppressed by the river temple and cannot be reincarnated...... That's probably what Su Nian guessed.

"Wen Qing, do you have shoes with you?"

"Bring it, what?" Wen Qing took out the wooden box from his bag.

Su Nian sweated for a moment, I didn't expect you to still carry my broken wooden box with you?

He took the wooden box, opened it, and placed it in front of the idol. Fortunately, there was no one in the river temple at this time, otherwise they would have thought that Su Nian was a neurotic foot fetish, and they would have to come over and send a pair of shoes when they saw the statue.

However, just when the wooden box was placed in front of the statue, Su Nian saw with his own eyes that the female ghost behind Wen Qing finally showed a look of relief, and her body shook and actually broke away from Wen Qing's back.

You know, female ghosts were inseparable before.

But now, she just broke free from the restraints and landed lightly in the wooden box.

According to ancient legends, Zhao Feiyan can dance in the palm of a person's hand, and Su Nian thinks it is unlikely. But the woman in the red shoes fell into a small wooden box, her two ankles were constricted, and her figure was slender and graceful, which was really beautiful and eye-opening for him.

Then, the red embroidered shoes on the female ghost's feet and the pair of the box gradually overlapped, and the ghost turned into a streamer of light and disappeared into the idol.

Su Nian and Wen Qing both felt that there was a flower in front of them, and there were no red embroidered shoes in the box, but the female river god of the statue had an extra pair of carved red embroidered shoes on her feet, which was exactly the same as the one in the box before.

She ...... Gone?" Wen Qing asked softly.

Su Nian nodded, and the two of them fell into silence, it was really too difficult to understand what was happening in front of them.

Just when they were shocked, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What are you two doing!"

Su Nian and the others were startled, and when they turned around, they saw an uncle with a work card walking in from outside the door: "The beams in the temple are broken and are being repaired, don't you see the signboard at the door?"

To be honest, they really didn't see it.

When I came here before, I was thinking about the female ghost, who can still see the sign next to the door? And if you get a big sign, it would be better to say, an A4 paper, who wants to look closely?

Apologies to the uncle, Su Nian thought about it, and finally said: "The shoes of the river god statue are lifelike, and the carving technology is very high!"

The uncle smiled: "This statue is also an old object, it was carved by the master at the beginning, especially this pair of shoes, I like it the most......"

Su Nian and Wen Qing glanced at each other when they left the River Temple, both of them were a little confused.

Was it because they had been hallucinated and couldn't see the shoes, or had the shoes become a given fact since they were put in place, and even changed the memories of people in the past?

Wen Qing rubbed his hair: "To be honest, I'm an atheist, and now I'm a little shaken." ”

Su Nian smiled: "Why do you care so much, just live your own life with gods and gods, you have also used eye drops, except for the girl in red shoes, have you seen other ghosts?"

Wen Qing nodded: "This is also true." ”

Su Xiao followed Ning Siyu and two other colleagues for a whole day, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. In the evening, the two were going to go to a nightclub, but Su Xiao was unwilling, so Ning Siyu could only accompany her to walk around.

Wandering, wandering, came to Chengxi Road.

Ning Siyu's face was strange: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Su Xiao's face was slightly red, and he retorted in a low voice: "Take a look, I'll take a look! Take a look and leave, how about it?"

Ning Siyu couldn't help him: "Okay, then take a look." I want to see, what kind of man, what kind of man is it that haunts you so much?"

So the two of them quietly came to Su Nian's booth, and Su Xiao sighed lightly: "Not there?"

However, at this time, a car stopped next to the stall, Su Nian and Wen Qing got out of the car, and after chatting with each other, Wen Qing drove away again.

Su Xiao was stunned for a moment, and her heart was mixed. How did Su Nian ......

Covered in wounds, huh?
