Chai Xu was a little absent-minded all day of work, his mind was full of messy things, although his receptivity was stronger than ordinary people, but it was really difficult for him to accept such mysterious things in a day and a night.

But what if you don't believe it, those are all things that have really happened, only this, he Chai Xu is clear and clear.

Looking at Chai Xu, who was a little distracted, Li Chuan once again pulled him under the corridor outside the police station, lit two cigarettes, and the two began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.

"Stinky boy, what about you light incense? ”

After that, Li Chuan snatched the cigarette from Chai Xu's hand, threw away the part that he had already smoked to the butt of the cigarette, and then brought Chai Xu's half of the cigarette to his mouth again.

Chai Xu was full of worries even if he smoked, so he didn't take a few puffs at all, which made Li Chuan feel a little sorry for his cigarettes.

This Chai Xu sighed silently, and didn't say anything, just looked into the distance thoughtfully, seeing this 20-year-old young man looking annoyed in his 40s, Li Chuan couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, boy, I may not know what happened to you, but if you continue in this state, it will be over sooner or later, and you are young, what is there that you can't handle. ”

How did Li Chuan know that what Chai Xu experienced yesterday was enough to subvert his entire three views, so that he hadn't adjusted it yet, but when Li Chuan opened his mouth, it made Chai Xu think of one thing.

"By the way, Uncle Li, do you remember that when I went back to the institute yesterday, I said some strange things to you?"

Li Chuan thought for a moment and nodded.

"You insist that you brought a little girl back?

"I really didn't joke with you yesterday, I really brought back a little girl from the pawn shop, no, she relied on me last night, saying that I made a pact with her... I'm sure I'll do her what she wants, so I'd like to ask you for a favor. ”

Li Chuan was silent for a long time, as if he knew what Chai Xu was going to do, he raised his hand and patted Chai Xu's shoulder, and said earnestly.

"Xiao Chai, have you thought about it, are you sure you must get involved in those things? I believe that there must be a better solution to this matter, just like the Zhenwu Mountain you just said, let's be a dead horse and be a live horse doctor, and go to the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple to be a mage for you to exorcise evil spirits?"

Li Chuan's suggestion is undoubtedly kind, he himself has experienced those supernatural events, so he doesn't want Chai Xu to be involved again, just now from Chai Xu's mouth I learned that the little girl he can't see seems to have some kind of contract-like binding on Chai Xu.

So Li Chuan very much hopes that Chai Xu will not be led by those things, and should find an effective way to achieve the effect once and for all.

Chai Xu didn't understand Li Chuan's hard work, but this party only knew that there were some things, it was really involuntarily, not what you wanted.

Although he said to the two of them not to appear at his house when he went out, Chai Xu always had a feeling that as soon as he got home, he would still see them immediately.

Although the white-clothed female ghost no longer has such a terrifying appearance, but is slim and very likable, it is a pity that the impact she caused to herself before was too violent, causing Chai Xu to have an inexplicable resistance to her now.

For Chai Xu, he is now like a trapped person who has half a foot in the swamp, or he chooses to do nothing, slowly sinking into it, and finally being swallowed by it.

Either you can only seek outside help and let someone who can save you.

Originally, Li Chuan's suggestion should be the most effective way, but Chai Xu saw that Zhenwu Mountain Daoist last night, and he... It doesn't seem to be much more reliable than Chang Ziming, and besides, compared to that Taoist, Chai Xu seems to have a better impression of that pawn shop.

If Li Chuan or other people above knew that Chai Xu would have a certain impression of that pawn shop, they would definitely think that he was insane, so this was one of the reasons why Chai Xu did not inform Li Chuan about the pawn shop so quickly.

At the moment, he had already made up his mind, if he had to find someone to ask for help, then Chang Ziming and Fu Lingxue might be more reliable existences than that Taoist...

At least for now, so Chai Xu has already made up his mind, and after getting off work today, he will go to the pawn shop in Changji to go again.

But now, I still have to ask Li Chuan.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I'm timid, I'm afraid of things, and I will never be rash, but I think this matter is very important, so I still have to bother you, Uncle Li. ”

Li Chuan snorted coldly angrily.

"Don't shoot Lao Tzu's sycophants, little cubs who don't get in oil and salt, alas, you say, what's the matter, I'll try my best. ”

Hearing Li Chuan's promise, Chai Xu's originally gloomy face finally had a slight smile.

"Uncle Li, I want you to help me find out about the disappearance of the little girl in this C city from before to now... Can you do that?"

Li Chuan did not rush to pack the ticket and agreed, but said with some embarrassment after thinking about it.

"Hmm... It depends, do you have a specific clue about the year?"

Chai Xu recalled the little girl's appearance, dressed up, that dress, at least it would not be too far away.

“… Within 20 years, there should have been a case that happened in the summer, and the age of the little girl, about ... Eight or nine years old. ”

Li Chuan was silent for a long time, and then said.

"I'll ask my colleague in charge of household registration first, about this... You don't have a specific number of years, and it is estimated that you have to adjust the file, which is not easy to do. ”

Although Chai Xu was a little disappointed on his face, it was not too obvious, he didn't think that things would be so smooth sailing, in his life, everything was bumpy and unsmooth, and he had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't say anything about going against the grain, but he was already very old in his anti-pressure psychology of adversity.

"But you don't have to worry too much, I'm familiar with Lao Zhou in the archives, he and you... And you... Well, your uncle, used to be... Colleague. ”

Chai Xu suddenly felt that Li Chuan wanted to speak just now, as if there was something in his words, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little strange, so he immediately said.

“… No, Uncle Li, you have something to hide from me. ”

Li Chuan was slightly stunned, and then his brows tightened, but he still refused to admit it.

"What am I hiding from you, I think you are frightened, why are you starting to doubt me?"

Chai Xu shook his head, looked at Li Chuan seriously, and pointed out the strange place in his words just now.

"Uncle Li, my uncle has never been to City C, how can he have colleagues here, and besides, you have always said that you will take care of me in front of my uncle, but my uncle has never mentioned you, he only said that there will be a distant cousin here who will provide me with a place to live, but he has never said that there will be such a trustworthy old-timer on the spot, if you really know my uncle, he will definitely mention you to me. ”

Li Chuan realized that he was a little reluctant to talk about this matter three times and twice, and finally was caught talking by this kid, he threw away the cigarette butt and said a little angrily.

"Boy, I can only tell you, I will never harm you, as for these reasoning games, you can play as much as you like, if you still trust me, you can call me uncle again, if you think that I Li Chuan is harming you, Cheng, I will stay away from you immediately, and I will not be involved in your. ”

Chai Xu was a little hesitant, his heart told him that Li Chuan was trustworthy, but... There are too many situations that contradict the facts constantly surfaced, which made him feel a dilemma, Chai Xu gritted his teeth, and in the end, he decided to believe Li Chuan, as for the truth of the facts, there will be time to investigate in the future.

Now that he has decided to wade into this troubled water, he will still be able to avoid all kinds of troubles after that? If Li Chuan really harbors evil intentions to harm himself, then his purpose will be revealed sooner or later, but now, apart from Li Chuan, there is no one else he can get rid of.

Of course, the two at the pawn shop don't count.

"Uncle Li, don't be angry, I just think it's strange, Dele, it may be that my uncle is old and has a poor memory, and he forgot to tell me, don't take it to heart, what I asked for just now, I still bothered Uncle Li too much, I will invite you to eat hot pot in Ming'er." ”

Li Chuan saw that Chai Xu's smiling expression had regained and his stiff face gradually soothed, he lit another cigarette, took a sharp puff and said to Chai Xu.

"I'm still the same sentence, if you call me uncle, I will definitely treat you as a nephew, if you treat me as a senior, I will take good care of you, you can rest assured about that matter, I will go to talk to Lao Zhou on the phone for a while, and you should also focus more on work, by the way, starting next week, you may be assigned to stay at the police station to work the night shift, adjust your mental state. ”

Chai Xu smiled and nodded, and after a few idle words, the two returned to the office hall, at this time, it was early afternoon, several old ladies came to the reception hall in a group, and the old man led by was complaining about something with the little policeman in charge of the reception, Chai Xu passed by, as if he heard the old ladies you say a word, it seems to be saying something...

Liars, fortune tellers, tramps.

In order to make him remember a little longer and not be late, Director Zhu specially gave him a lot of documents for him to deal with, and throughout the afternoon, Chai Xu was so busy that he didn't have the slightest time to think about those inexplicable things.

In a blink of an eye, it was 7 o'clock in the evening, Chai Xu finally finished processing a bunch of documents and forms, and finally took the documents and asked the person in charge to sign and submit the community form, he was finally able to get off work, and when he went to the locker room to change clothes, he listened to two colleagues talk about today's group of old ladies.

"Hey, it's the third time this month, and it's the homeless man who pretended to be a Taoist priest to cheat people out of money, you said that the group of aunts and old ladies are really big-hearted, what age, and believe in these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, who are not deceived if they are not deceived. ”

"I can't say that, these old ladies also heard the liar say that their family will suffer, and their children and grandchildren will be unhappy, so they are willing to take the money out and be fooled, this liar is really not a pity to die, but you say it's not strange, even if we dispatched three sets of police to guard for three days, we didn't find any trace of the liar at all, let's disarm, hey, he appeared again today, and when we rushed over in the afternoon, there was no hair. ”

It turned out that the group of old ladies before were deceived by a scammer disguised as a fortune teller, Chai Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he actually used the most important son and grandson of the family as the reason for cheating money, this liar is really immoral enough.

Walking out of the police station, I don't know which evil wind blew, Chai Xu actually thought, or... Let's go to the pawn shop again, didn't Chang Ziming tell himself yesterday that after he calms down and sorts out his thoughts, will he have another explanation for him?

Anyway, it is estimated that he can't hide, and Chang Ziming doesn't know where it is sacred, and the so-called soul officials in the middle of the world are all courteous to him, and even a little afraid.

The Taoist who was frightened by the roar of the soul officer trembled, but somehow, Chang Ziming was beaten by a rat with his head, and he only dared to curse while fleeing back.

In addition, although the girl named Fu Lingxue has always had a cold attitude, she gave Chai Xu an inexplicable good impression, so that he was more willing to trust Chang Ziming and the others, so his footsteps began to slowly walk towards the old park.

Li Chuan accompanied Director Zhu to the city bureau today, as if he was going to attend a meeting, and at the same time Li Chuan also told Chai Xu that it was more convenient to go to the archives of the city bureau to adjust the files, so he left the police station in the afternoon.

At this time, Chai Xu was walking alone on the way to the pawn shop, his thoughts were confused, and he was a little uneasy.

Because he wasn't sure if the path he was taking was the right one... chose to believe Chang Ziming and had a relationship with that pawn shop, it was really... Is it right?

"Buddha Amitayus. ”

At this moment, a deep and loud voice like a bell suddenly sounded in Chai Xu's heart, like a blow to the head, Chai Xu immediately raised his head, at this time he looked comfortable, his eyes were bright, like waking up from a big dream, as if he was in another world, all the confusion and uneasiness disappeared under this sound.

Turning his head again, he looked at the person who spoke up, and saw that on the side of the road, under an old locust tree, sat a pale old man of nearly 60 years old, his clothes were in tatters, only those eyes were as clear as water.

There was a rag in front of him, and on top of the rag was a bamboo tube, and there were no more than twelve sticks in the bamboo tube.

"Uncle, fortune telling?"

But when he looked at Chai Xu and showed his yellow teeth and spoke again, he completely lost the voice that stirred Chai Xu's heart just now, this time, his voice was hoarse and old, very ugly.

But... This reminded Chai Xu of something...

Fortune teller... Vagabond?
