Chapter Ninety-Four: The Entrustment of the Mountain Sacrifice
It's this kind of thing that makes him sad, and it's this kind of thing that makes him happy, and it's impossible to say whether such a weird thing is a blessing or a curse for us, but looking at his renewed enthusiasm now, I can't help but silently follow him in my heart to get excited.
According to the contact information on the Internet, we quickly got in touch with this "Luo Li". The other party was very excited to receive the call, and it seemed that the matter to be entrusted to us was urgent. So we agreed to meet at a coffee shop in the city that day to talk about the supernatural things she had experienced.
The coffee shop was near my house, and the two of us picked a spot on the inside and sat and waited for her to arrive. Qin Chuyi, this guy, deliberately wore a pair of round sunglasses today, and took out his grandfather's crutches, these two things are completely different from his own dress and temperament, which caused a lot of passers-by to look sideways frequently.
"Eh, I said, why are you dressed like this?" I whispered in his ear, looking around with a restless look in my eyes.
"I'm not pretending to be sick, I'm blind. Since I have this special skill in my body, why don't I make good use of it, you wait, and you will see the benefits in no time. He said, turning and groping for the couch on the side of the coffee shop, and slowly sat down.
Not long after we sat down, the clerk Teng Tengteng immediately came over to order food for us. The café was doing very well, and when we sat down, we noticed a small sign on the table next to the sofa, and the word "reservation" jumped on the paper. However, when the clerk saw us sitting down, he didn't stop us at all, but his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he took the sign that said "reservation" away.
I watched her every move in amazement, and finally understood Qin Chuyi's intentions. In the future, when he goes out like this, it is estimated that we will not have to line up in any team, and in a few days he will get a certificate for the disabled, and then he will be able to go through the green channel.
Five minutes later, I saw a long, curly-haired woman in a formal dress and light makeup hurrying into the coffee shop outside the window, and after a few questions at the front desk. The waiter looked at her with an apologetic look, bent over and kept apologizing, then looked at our table again and smiled awkwardly. The woman froze. Then he also looked at it, nodded, and walked in the direction of our table.
Finished. I thought to myself, this must be the person who reserved the seat, and now come and see us two disabled people sitting here. I guess they wanted to drive us away. Thinking of this, I immediately prepared to drag Qin Chu with me, but the woman looked at us with a smile and said hello.
"This is Master Qin," the woman said to Qin Chuyi, "I didn't expect that Master is really different from ordinary people." ”
I was speechless, staring at her in a daze.
"Before I even said it, the master knew that this was my predetermined location, which is amazing."
Qin Chuyi laughed after hearing this, and I didn't know about it later. This woman is desperately trying to please us for a reason, and if I had known in advance that things were like this, I would have run away.
"This Miss Luo Li, are you a fan of "Divorce Lawyer"? Qin Chuyi quipped.
"Hehe, you can see that," she smiled, "I'm actually a lawyer myself, also called Lori, but the one with the cursive word Jasmine." ”
Luo Li smiled and continued, "It seems that the two of you are also well-informed people. Then I'll get straight to the point. ”
This Luo Li, who doesn't look like a loli at all, runs a law firm. She comes from a remote mountain village in the southwestern province to illiterate farmers. However, Luo Li is different from the people in the village, and has had the desire to go out of the mountains since she was a child. So I studied hard, came to university in N City, and opened my own law firm here.
"My family is proud of me, and now I will entertain people who come to N City from our mountainous area, and it has almost become their transit point. That is, from the mouth of a fellow. I know one thing. ”
Although Luo Li's hometown is remote, it has a long history of customs. The people in the mountains are very superstitious, believing in the mountain gods, land gods, and other supernatural and ghostly things, and festivals are held every year. However, their sacrifices are not presided over by the patriarch, but by the outstanding representatives of the village.
So this task naturally fell to Luo Li. It was something to be proud of, but Lori didn't seem to be willing to participate. This is because when she was a child, she had seen those outstanding representatives who sacrificed to the gods.
"One of them was a relative of mine, who was the principal of the village primary school at the time, and was very knowledgeable. But after the sacrifice, he fell ill with a strange disease, and finally he died before he was thirty-five years old. Luo Li said, her expression was very vivid, which should give her a lot of advantages in court.
"I'm afraid I'm sick of something......" I interjected.
"No, I'm sure he had a problem after the sacrifice. And he wasn't the only one, almost all the people I know of who presided over the sacrifice eventually fell ill and died. Speaking of this, there was a hint of horror in Luo Li's eyes. I suspect some horrible ghost is at work. ”
"That's why you want us to help you go to this sacrifice for you?" I asked.
"Yes......" she bowed her head, "I don't know if you're willing to help me after hearing what I've said." ”
Thinking that my life was in danger of this mission, I flinched a little, but Qin Chuyi didn't show any timidity on his face, and after listening to Luo Li's words, he bowed his head slightly and said, "Miss Luo, since the person designated by the other party is you, we can't help you." ”
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that," she said, "the presiding priest can send a stand-in, but I can't find anyone else but you." I also didn't want to hide the danger of the sacrifice, so I ...... But don't worry, as long as you get this done, you don't have to worry about the reward. The annual turnover of the firm is still okay, and if you are willing to help, the profit of the year can be given to you. ”
A year's profit? When I heard it, I was terrified. Although I don't know what the annual income of the lawyer industry is, but the wages of the hard work of the year are handed over to others, I really can't imagine how terrifying this sacrifice is.
"How about it, Master Qin, do you agree?" Luo Li asked expectantly, her eyes wide open, and she looked like she couldn't refuse.
I just wanted to say that I would think about it for the time being, but I didn't expect Qin Chuyi to blurt out: "Okay, I'll take this matter." (To be continued.) )
