Chapter 29: The Water Ghost (1)
Ye Xi took Yi Yang into the dining hall for breakfast. Breakfast is steamed buns and porridge, this time they are all made by the second senior brother, and they are delicious.
After breakfast, Ye Xi proposed to Yi Yang: "Since you have come, do you want to draw a lot and leave?"
Yi Yang nodded: "I just want to see how I did in the college entrance examination." ”
Lottery is a major feature of the Taoist temple, there are 101 lots in the lottery, each with a different result.
Yi Yang shook the lottery holder very reverently, and then drew a lottery very depressedly.
Yi Yang: "......"
How can I believe in these feudal superstitions!! and how can I pin my college entrance examination results on this little bamboo stick?
Ye Xi smiled: "It's good." ”
Yi Yang: "It's okay to sign a sign, will your comfort be a little pale?"
Ye Xi looked at him seriously and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing to draw a lottery. For example, when you are in the middle of the spring breeze, winning the lottery means that your good luck has reached the extreme. Things are going to be reversed, and then you're going to start turning down, which is a bad thing. Your draw now means that although there will be tribulations in the future, you will not be able to come to the next lot. ”
Yi Yang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there was such a deep meaning in this signing.
Yin and yang are transformed, and everything is not one layer of immutable. If you only stare at a certain point, you will always be at that point.
It's not that God has abandoned you, it's that you have chosen to stop.
Yi Yang seemed to have an epiphany: "I see." Ye Xi, can you give me this stick?"
Ye Xi looked around, and when he was sure that no one noticed them, he whispered to Yi Yang: "You take it quietly, don't let senior sister and senior brother find out." ”
Yi Yang: "......"
Isn't this "stealing"?
Ye Xi and Yi Yang were ready to say goodbye and go down the mountain.
Thinking that the senior brothers and sisters had to clean the courtyard, offer tea to the statues, provide water, burn incense, and prepare to welcome tourists and pilgrims, Ye Xi and them simply said goodbye and walked out of the gate of Qingxinguan.
Master personally sent Ye Xi down the mountain again.
Before leaving, the master handed over a piece of red rope to Ye Xi: "This red rope has been practiced for the master for a long time, you can take it with you well to keep you safe." ”
"So good?"
Ye Xi happily took the red rope: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, say, Master, what do you want from me." ”
The master glanced at her: "Vulgar, is being so snobbish in your eyes as a teacher?" ”
Ye Xi nodded affirmatively: "Otherwise, it won't be you, Master." ”
Master said leisurely, "Get out." ”
Yi Yang: "......"
……
The members of the Association for the Protection of the Vulnerable Groups "turned over and sang" in the days when Ye Xi left, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, feeling that spring was back.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xi came back after not staying for a few days!
All of them were as depressed as frosted eggplants, and they dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak: if they angered Ye Xi, they wouldn't be able to borrow Yi Yang!
However, God still favored them very much, and before Ye Xi sat down, the mobile phone began to vibrate.
Aunt Li, who was setting up a stall near her, instantly pricked up her ears and eavesdropped carefully, and at the same time prayed in her heart: Let this girl go out for a few more days, do anything!
Ye Xi looked at his phone, it was an unfamiliar phone number.
Ye Xi connected the phone: "Hello, I'm Ye Xi." ”
A deep voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hello, I'm Zhang Tianhua from the Police Station of City C. ”
Ye Xi: "......"
She was quickly thinking back to what she had done these days. I don't think I did anything illegal, did I? Or did I not know about it?
The other party paused for a moment and continued: "I made two notes for you at the police station, I don't know if you still have an impression?"
Ye Xi suddenly realized: "Oh, police officer, remember, remember, I don't know what you are looking for me for?"
Zhang Tianhua: "Didn't you ask us to carefully investigate the case records of those two traffickers last time, and there was indeed a murder case." ”
Ye Xi was silent for a while before he said, "Did they kill a little girl?" ”
Zhang Tianhua on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?!"
Zhang Tianhua was very surprised, because this murder case has not yet been announced to the public, and it is an internal situation.
Ye Xi: "Hmm...... I feel it, I have a strong sixth sense since I was a child. ”
Zhang Tianhua: "So powerful? So, are you free today, there is something I want you to help me feel." I've read your file and know that you're a Taoist priest, so you probably still have two brushes. ”
Ye Xi was reluctant in his heart.
She doesn't want to have too much intersection with the police, to put it bluntly, what they do is in a gray area, if the police want to arrest you, you can feel good if you are a hat that promotes feudal superstition.
Ye Xi politely refused: "These things are strange to the gods, and the police are also interested? ”
Zhang Tianhua made up his mind to see it: "Anyway, it's not a serious matter, so you should show your talent." ”
Ye Xi directly released cruel words: "My fee is very high, and I have to make an appointment in advance, now it is a democratic society, even if you are a policeman, you have to follow my rules!"
In fact, it's not a matter of money or money, Ye Xi just wants to excuse himself.
Zhang Tianhua smiled on the other end of the phone: "You don't have to worry about money, just come." I'll send you the address on your phone. ”
Ye Xi: "......"
Forget it, the people don't fight with the officials, so let's go for a trip.
Yi Yang went home early because of something, and Ye Xi had to go alone.
Aunt Li knew the news that Ye Xi was leaving, and immediately sent a group message, and everyone in the group immediately cheered.
The place where Zhang Tianhua asked Ye Xi to go was a reservoir built on the outskirts of City C. Zhang Tianhua was sitting on the guardrail on the side of the road waiting for her.
Zhang Tianhua, who is not wearing a police uniform, is an ordinary middle-aged uncle, and even a sloppy uncle who is not a weapon, with messy hair and a scruffy beard, only those eyes are bright and sharp.
Ye Xi: "What did you call me here for?"
Zhang Tianhua pointed to the center of the reservoir: "A few days ago, the reservoir was overhauled, and the water inside was drained, and it was found that there were bones underground. Later, after the overhaul, the reservoir was refilled. ”
Ye Xi looked at him with a complicated expression: "Isn't it your policeman's business to investigate the case?"
Zhang Tianhua shook his head: "It's not a murder, I've checked the file." Twenty years ago, several young people went into the water without permission and drowned, which was an accident. ”
He pulled out another photo from his pocket: "But I always feel weird, you see." ”
Ye Xi took the photo and saw that the photo was a human skeleton.
Human bones are very ordinary, but the strange thing is that this skeleton actually takes on a kneeling posture of prayer.
It's like praying something, and it's like cursing something.
