Chapter Eighty-Six: The Late Night Ferryman
Leng Yue anxiously ran to Wu Nian's room, followed by Xue Ling, who was at a loss, originally just a fluke to see if she had found anything, but now she did have a harvest, but Leng Yue didn't know whether to be happy or sad, the fact that she didn't want to admit was already in front of her, and she had no choice but to face it!
"Girl, what's wrong, your face is so bad"
Looking at Leng Yue, who wanted to speak and stopped, Wu Nian concluded that she had made a new discovery, but he didn't dare to urge, he could understand this feeling of being calculated by his relatives!
As if having made a lot of determination, Leng Yue organized the language, and calmed down a little before saying his guess, "Brother Nian, I found something in Erniang's room, do you remember, on the day of the first seven days of the eldest grandfather, the courtyard was sprinkled with paper ashes, this is a tradition in the village, it is said that the person who left will come back to visit his relatives seven days after he died, and his footprints can be left on the ground"
"Of course I remember, grandpa did come back that day in the first seven days, ate steamed buns and drank water, and the footprints were clearly visible, didn't Zhao Jian also see the back, does this have anything to do with Erniang?"
Leng Yue swallowed the water in her mouth, she looked very nervous at this time, and the bangs on her forehead were also a little moist, "At that time, I carefully observed, the footprints were very small, and the results of the judgment were two, the first may be an underage child, the second is a slender woman with a small body and a very light weight, and the grandfather is about one meter eight tall, Zhao Jian said that he saw the grandfather's back with his own eyes, if it is the first two do not match"
Wu Nian nodded approvingly, "Your judgment is fine, if the height can reach one meter eight, whether it is male or female, the footprints will not be so small, Erniang said that if she can have a height of 165, it will not be her."
"That's right, what if Erniang wears flag shoes?" Although she didn't want to face it, Leng Yue still said her thoughts!
Wu Nian, who suddenly realized, clapped his hands, "That's right, the flag shoes are ten centimeters high, and the difference of five centimeters in the dim light in the middle of the night is difficult to distinguish, if the flag shoes are specially made, you can also wear a pair of small shoes for minors below, so that the height and footprints are completed, and the door is locked and outsiders can't enter, and the Zhao family has not echoed these two situations, so they have become ghosts to go home to visit relatives."
Xue Ling at the desk was dumbfounded, "What dead people, ghosts, what are you two talking about, why are you so scary?"
Only then did the two realize that there was a third person in the house, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, otherwise you may lose your life" Xue Ling quietly closed her mouth and walked out of the room!
The amount of information is a bit large, Wu Nian scratched his head and couldn't accept it, "If I'm not mistaken, on the morning of the second day of the first seven days of the eldest grandfather, the fourth grandfather received a note, and everyone judged that it was left by a ghost, so it should be clear now, it was left by Erniang, so what is her purpose?" She also knows Qin Tianhong and others? ”
"Then I don't know, Brother Nian, we have to find a way to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and then go into Erniang's house to check, if you really find that pair of flag shoes, the evidence is conclusive, she can't quibble."
"Let's put this matter aside for a while, Leng Xing is going to Dr. Zhao's house tonight to check, and when he comes back, it's not too late for us to make a decision, Erniang has been lurking for so long, and she shouldn't make any moves in a short period of time."
After dinner, Leng Xing appeared in Wu Nian's room on time, everyone sorted out the procedure again, and after confirming that it was correct, they waited for it to start acting after dark, the waiting time was always long, everyone didn't speak, and they were getting closer and closer to the truth, but they weren't happy at all!
Leng Xing was dressed in black sportswear, holding a dagger and flashlight in his hand, his face was covered with a black cloth, his mobile phone was turned off at home, everything was ready, Leng Xing sneaked out of the back door and went straight to the west of the village!
At this time, it was ten o'clock in the evening, according to the habits of the local villagers, after watching the TV series at half past eight every day, I almost rested, and going to bed early and getting up late is a good habit that has been inherited in the countryside for hundreds of years!
Wu Nian and a few people sat in the house, Xiao Fang brought a pot of hot tea, with her diligence and ability, she was recognized by the whole family within a few days of passing the door, after all, it is rare to be able to echo the title of a person who lives a life, and it may become a more rare species in a few years!
Until a few people drank the third pot of water, they still didn't wait for Leng Xing's news, the wall clock on the wall was already pointing to eleven o'clock, according to Leng Xing's usual work efficiency, he should have come back a long time ago, Leng Yue muttered worriedly, "Leng Xing won't have anything to do, right?"
Wu Nian looked around the house, the people who could walk freely were all girls, and the rest of the Zhao family didn't know about it, and it was inconvenient to tell too many people, just when he was embarrassed, Leng Hua stood up, "Brother Nian, I'll go to the west of the village to take a look, don't worry that I won't enter the hospital, I will come back if I know the situation" Saying that, he grabbed the mobile phone on the table and walked out of the room!
Leng Yue was worried that she would be afraid of walking at night, so she asked Xue Ling to accompany her, the two of them at least had a care, and just a few minutes after they went out, Zhao Jian'an and his wife walked in for the first time!
"Yue, it's the middle of the night, why don't you rest yet, do you see the cold flower, I thought she was here with you?"
"Soon rested the second uncle, your second elder didn't sleep, I'm a little hungry, my sister and Xueling went to the west of the village to buy me food, hehe" Leng Yue replied embarrassedly, she knew very well about her lies, only a fool would believe it!
Zhao Jian'an was obviously very worried about Leng Hua, although she was not his own child, she was indeed brought up by him, and her feelings were no less deep than that of her biological parents, "Dead girl, how dangerous it is to go out in the middle of the night, I'll take a look, don't let the cat and dog be scared"
After Zhao Jian'an and his wife walked out, Wu Nian and Leng Yue looked at each other and smiled, nodded knowingly, Leng Yue also walked out, originally wanted to divert the tiger from the mountain to attract Erniang, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to hit by mistake, Leng Yue took the flashlight and walked towards Zhao Jian'an's room diagonally opposite!
Another half an hour passed, and none of the people who went out came back, Wu Nian was stunned now, and subconsciously kept drinking a cup of water in his hand, Xiaofang kept pouring water at a loss, but he walked slowly, and went out to solve any problems at all, "Sister-in-law, you go to the second uncle's room for me, call Leng Yue back, I always have a bad premonition"
Originally, there were seven or eight people in the room, and Wu Nian was left at this time, and suddenly there was a feeling of a cool breeze on his back, he picked up the phone on the table and hesitated for a while, and finally deleted the number that was pressed, replaced it with a short message, and sent it to a few people who went out, because he was afraid that the phone ringing would expose the whereabouts of several people and bring them unnecessary trouble!
The sound of steady footsteps outside the hospital made Wu Nian's heart feel a little more steady, and he didn't know when it started, he was especially afraid of the sound of running in a hurry, because every time this sound came, something bad would happen!
"This dead girl, the more she grows up, the more disobedient she becomes, where did she go in the middle of the night, I won't clean her up when she comes back" Zhao Jian'an walked into Wu Nian's house angrily, "It's up to you, I didn't find this child, I'll clean her up tomorrow, let's go back to the house to sleep"
Zhao Jian'an, who was just about to turn around, fixed his eyes behind Wu Nian, "The monitoring is broken again?" Why is there no one yet? Wu Nian noticed that the surveillance video in the corner of the wall was covered with snowflakes, maybe he was too focused just now, and he didn't notice that there was a problem with the monitoring at all!
At this time, Xiao Fang walked in, and shook her head at Wu Nian while the two of them were not paying attention, such a simple action made Wu Nian cold from head to toe, it seems that things are not so coincidental, the monitoring is faulty, and Leng Yue is also missing!
Zhao Jian'an, who returned to the house, didn't find anything, and rested and slept when sleepiness hit, but Wu Nian's room was fried, "Sister-in-law, you said that Leng Yue is not in the second uncle's room?" No, where did she go? The monitoring is still broken, it's really sad" dialed Leng Yue's phone again, and all I heard was the polite female voice at the service desk!
Four of the seven people who went out have not returned, and they are all the backbone of the family, and now Wu Nian can only hope that a few people will return one after another, even if they are slightly injured, just like this, there is no news too torturous for people's minds!
Finally, after more than ten minutes, Leng Hua and Xue Ling came back, and the two of them shook their heads in disappointment, "The front and back of the house have turned, there is no shadow of the cold star, the puppy in the village is too annoying, and it barks when it quietly moves a little, so scared that my family squatted there for a while, and the dog slept before we dared to come back" After speaking, Xue Ling laughed "By the way, where is Sister Yue?" ”
Wu Nian sighed, "It doesn't matter if you have gained something, it's good that you two can come back safely, all the monitoring in the hospital has been destroyed again, the girl just went out for a trip, she should have come back a long time ago, but now I don't know where the person is, and there is no news from my sister-in-law looking around."
Of course, Leng Hua, who had a deep sisterhood, couldn't sit still, and without saying a word, she picked up the flashlight and walked out, Xiaofang and the others were worried about her safety, and then followed out, with the momentum of not being able to find Leng Yue and not coming back!
It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that the three of them came back, and there was still no news from the Leng Yue sisters and brothers, and they had to go back to the house to rest with the prayers in their hearts, hoping to open their eyes tomorrow morning and see the two returning, although they also knew that there were nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world!
The cold star lying on the ground gradually woke up, and there was a beautiful sea of flowers beside him, which was a thermal insulation greenhouse with hundreds of square meters, which was not found in the warehouse of Dr. Zhao's house, and he paid attention to the greenhouse in the courtyard, the environment in the greenhouse was completely different from the season outside!
All kinds of vegetables and flowers, when he first came in, Leng Xing was also attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him, the beauty of nature was vividly interpreted in this interpretation, just when he observed with the help of the bright light of the flashlight, his feet stepped on the air, said that the steps slipped down, and there was a pain in the tailbone, and then he fell asleep with sleepy eyes!
I woke up again and found myself in a small cellar, the flashlight flickered, a flower that was almost a person high came into view, the neck of the flower was emerald green without a leaf, a cluster of blood-red flowers at the top was blooming charmingly, the petals were dripping with crystal clear, and from time to time they dripped on the ground and were absorbed by the soil, each piece of the petal stretched outward, the pieces were not next to each other, and the proud ones stretched out, like the scarlet tongue of a giant python, and there was a bunch of fruits in the middle of the flower neck, green like a ball with thorns all over the body, There was also a car that was about to ripen and was already covered with cracks, and the white seeds in it hugged each other tightly!
The whole ground was filled with the pungent fragrance of flowers, "Could it be that this is Mandala Hua, this appearance is too weird" Another headache, Leng Xing took a few photos and left quickly!
Walking out of the greenhouse and breathing in the fresh air again, Leng Xing felt that his mind was gradually clear, and his keen sense of hearing returned to his side again, not far from the small river, a small boat was slowly rowing to the opposite bank, and at the foot of the boatman's house lay a girl in white......
