Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Priest Confesses His Doubts

Who would have thought that the county lord Jian Dingyong's magic recipe not only worked, but also almost killed Wu Yong's life.

And Li Mi, who is unknown, used strange techniques to pull Wu Yong back from the ghost gate when his life was hanging by a thread!

Fortunately, there was no danger, everyone was sweating profusely, and finally relaxed, and at this time, looking at Li Mi, his eyes were different.

Jian Dingyong is also weak-hearted, after all, he is also a soldier on paper, and he almost died in the first shot, so he was a little ashamed and a little grateful to Li Mi.

And Master Qian originally wanted to kill Li Mi, but he didn't expect everything to be as Li Mi expected, and in the end, Li Mi turned the tide and made a big comeback, and he felt uneasy in his heart.

Although the eldest lady is vulgar, she is a straight intestine, and at this time she seems to regard Li Mi as a life-saving benefactor, while the fourth lady glanced at Li Mi more, but her eyes stayed on Li Mi's leather shoes.

In short, they have their own thoughts, and they will not be detailed.

After such a toss, Wu Yong's mind was greatly stimulated, and he actually came to his senses, which can also be said to be a blessing in disguise!

The temporary obsession caused by this excessive fright usually has a stress point, it is the psychological protection mechanism that is working, and the second time he is in danger, Wu Yong stimulates this protection mechanism again, but he successfully regains his senses!

"Your Excellency... You come to visit me, Wu Yong is really scared! Wu Yong had just recovered his breath, and when he saw Jian Dingyong standing on the edge of the bed with an extremely ugly face, he struggled to sit up.

However, he had been in bed for too long, his hands and feet were numb and stiff, and he was really powerless to do anything, Wu Yong couldn't bear it, and patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you still care about these false courtesies, just lie down." ”

In the end, it was the people under his own hands, Jian Dingyong saw that Wu Yong was like this, and he did not mention his fault for stealing out of the county government on duty night for the time being.

The eldest lady and the fourth lady saw that Wu Yong woke up, and asked the old mother to prepare the soup, and the people outside finally invited Lang Zhong over, and after working for a while, Wu Yong finally had some energy.

Jian Dingyong was not in a hurry, and sat in the study with Li Mi for a while, and then asked Li Mi about the principle of the first aid technique used by Shicai.

In order to better understand, Li Mi used an air bag to make an analogy, the human lungs are like air bags, impacting and squeezing the upper abdomen, and the chest and diaphragm press up against the lungs, and the lungs will generate air pressure and push out the blocked foreign bodies in the trachea.

The principle is actually very simple, but for the people of ancient times, it was as unbelievable as the Arabian Nights.

After all, it is a technique invented by foreigners, and if you use too much force, not only will you not be able to save people, but you will damage your internal organs, and even break your ribs, causing even more damage.

This method of first aid is very effective, but like other first aid methods, it is an expedient method and should not be tried lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

In any case, Jian Dingyong had a new understanding of Li Mi, and after chatting for a while, the master came in to report that Wu Yong wanted to see the county master.

Li Mi couldn't help but feel in his heart, the warmth and care shown by Jian Dingyong made Wu Yong feel guilty, and there was no need to ask now, Wu Yong would tell the story of last night as it was.

Sure enough, when he came to Wu Yong's room again, Wu Yong really took the initiative to talk about the whole story of the ghost last night.

Because he sneaked out of the county government and had to go back before dawn, after Wu Yong went home, he called the fourth lady over in a hurry, and he was not ashamed to burn the firewood, and then fell asleep in a daze.

In the second half of the night, the fourth lady heard some movement in the outer room, so she pushed Wu Yong, but the latter didn't wake up.

The fourth lady was undressed, and she was timid, she didn't dare to get up, let alone make a sound, and pushed twice before Wu Yong woke up.

After all, he is a torture room officer, dealing with suspects all day long, and he also has rules in his heart, and the thief stole it to his house, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth!

Wu Yong thought so, so he didn't light the candlestick, took advantage of the moonlight outside the window, touched a porcelain bottle, and went out barefoot.

After bypassing the screen, Wu Yong saw that the outside was in a mess, and he had already been turned upside down, and he also blamed himself in his heart, if he hadn't been too tired from tossing with the little fox of the fourth lady, he wouldn't have noticed that his home had been stolen!

Wu Yong was angry in his heart, and he was even more determined, no matter how he wanted to catch this thief!

But this is a bedroom after all, except for the moonlight cast by a small skylight, if it is not lit, it will be pitch black.

Wu Yong looked at it, but he saw that the moonlight was casting, illuminating such a large area as the mouth of the water tank, and there were many account books and books on the ground, these were all important things he hid in the dark compartment!

Wu Yong was about to step forward, but found that there was a pair of shoe tips at the edge of the light the size of the water tank, at the junction of light and dark!

"The villain thought at the time, it must be the thief hiding in the shadows, waiting for me to pick up those account books, so that he can give me a stick!"

"When it comes to the furnishings in the room, the villain will not bump even if he closes his eyes, so he thinks of going around the back and knocking the little thief unconscious... It's just that who would have thought..."

Wu Yong said this in one breath, but he stopped, his face was a little pale, his lips trembled, and he seemed to remember the scene at that time, and he still had palpitations.

His lips moved for a long time, but he couldn't open his mouth after all.

Li Mi and Jian Dingyong had actually guessed what was going on, and the person Wu Yong thought was the thief should be the female ghost Zhang who he couldn't speak!

"Can you see clearly, is it really Zhang?" Jian Dingyong asked, and Lu Chongning, who had been standing behind in silence, also had bright eyes at this time, staring at Wu Yong expectantly.

Wu Yong nodded with difficulty, and then resolutely said to Jian Dingyong: "It's true, it's really the ghost of the Zhang family!" ”

As soon as Wu Yong said this, everyone in the room gasped, as if the whole room had become ghostly.

But Lu Chongning was extremely excited, and he didn't care about etiquette, and asked Wu Yong: "Commander Wu, has my wife said something?" ”

Wu Yong's face was embarrassed, but he looked at Jian Dingyong and replied honestly: "She... She didn't speak, but choked my neck, and I just remember that her hands were cold..."

Wu Yong said this, then pulled the collar slightly, and everyone saw that there was indeed a blue and black pinch mark on his neck!

Lu Chongning looked disappointed, but he didn't give up, and continued to ask, "What about later?" And what's going on? ”

Wu Yong replied: "I wanted to call for help, but it was too late, and then Xiao Si asked me, and she let me go, I watched her disappear in front of my eyes, and just disappeared!" ”

When Wu Yong said this, his spirit was a little unbearable, and the whole person collapsed, and his body trembled violently, so you can imagine how frightened he was at that time.

For the superstitious ancients, the black light blinded the fire, only a ray of moonlight, shining on the tips of a pair of shoes, suddenly revealing a miserable white dead face in the darkness, and even pinching you with a cold hand, who can bear it?

Lu Chongning and Jian Dingyong should be convinced, the master was even more ugly, and the eldest lady and the fourth lady who were accompanying him were also frightened.

But Li Mi didn't believe it, because he was an atheist, and his scientific education didn't allow him to believe in these things.

"You mean Zhang's ghost disappeared in place?"

"It's... Just before my eyes, hidden in the shadows... In the blink of an eye, it was... It's gone..."

Wu Yong said very surely, but Li Mi thought that there were many doubts in it, if it was really Zhang's ghost, it was really to take revenge on Wu Yong, why did he search in the room? Why don't you just attack Wu Yong?

So Li Mi quickly came to his own guess, this is definitely a human and not a ghost, maybe she and the female widow Asakusa, sneaked into Wu Yong's house, wanting to search for something, but Wu Yong sneaked home, after she was broken, she simply pretended to be Zhang's ghost to scare Wu Yong!

And she also didn't kill Wu Yong, whether it was from the motive or from the doorway, it was almost the same as what happened to Li Mi in the county bureaucracy. What are they looking for? What is the connection with Zhang's death?

Li Mi was still thinking, but Jian Dingyong had already spoken: "Li Mi, what do you think?" ”

Li Mi came back to his senses and wanted to say that he didn't believe in gods and ghosts, but in such an environment, he couldn't risk the world's disapproval, so he had to say euphemistically.

"At that time, the room was dim, Wu Si was exhausted, and after waking up at night, he was confused, whether it was a person or a ghost, I couldn't tell..."

Although Li Mi said it tactfully, Wu Yong could hear that Li Mi didn't believe it at all, so he couldn't help but say to Li Mi.

"Although the villain is a little timid, she is not confused, she... Her hands were cold and stiff, and her face was dead white, and her eyes were blood-red, I couldn't be mistaken! ”

"If she is a ghost, why make a noise, the ghost comes and goes without a trace, and there are no legs and feet, where will there be bumps and bumps, and there will be no movement for the fourth lady to notice."

Li Mi didn't want to be so direct, but Wu Yong couldn't accept it, so he could only come up with arguments.

Wu Yong couldn't bear it, and immediately said: "If you don't believe it, you can stay here for one night tonight!" ”

Li Mi was also a little crying and laughing, he really wanted to investigate that room to see if the person had left any useful traces or clues, and he also wanted to search by the way to see what they were searching for.

But this person has been discovered by Wu Yong, and now that Jian Dingyong has come over with a servant, how can that person go and return?

"I'm not afraid of staying for one night, but the lady of the Lu family may not come to see me..."

Wu Yong heard Li Mi's words, and said with a strange smile: "You don't have to worry, she will definitely come back!" ”

Jian Dingyong knew that Li Mi and Wu Yong had a holiday, but this juncture was really not suitable for quarreling, and he was about to stop it, but when he heard this, he was a little curious.

"Why is that?"

Wu Yong smiled proudly: "Although the villain was taken aback, out of instinct, before the female ghost left, I grabbed her indiscriminately... Because I was sitting on the ground at that time, and I didn't know what I caught, and then Xiao Si told me..."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but turn to the fourth lady, the woman's face was also a little ugly, with a little fright, but she still let the maid next to her go out, and after a while, she took a box, opened it and saw that it was an embroidered shoe!

"The concubine heard the wife of Qingfeng Nunnery say, this ghost wants to be reincarnated, and she also has to take Huangquan Road, her shoes let her husband catch one, and she can't walk Huangquan Road without shoes, the concubine wanted to burn the shoes, but the wife said that the shoes should be kept, if the shoes are burned, she can't be reborn, she will turn into a ghost, and she will be entangled in the future, and the whole house will not be peaceful..."

Li Mi also felt funny, these superstitious people have the final say, don't they all say that ghosts have no feet, how to wear shoes without feet!

However, when Lu Chongning saw these shoes, he was sad, his eyes were full of tears, and he held the embroidered shoes and said: "This is indeed a lady's shoe... The peony embroidery on the top is still the way I painted her! ”

As soon as Lu Chongning said this, it was Li Mi, and he felt cold!
