Chapter 40: Ghost Jade
"The local city god is a person in the yang world and a matter in the underworld, it is difficult to become a big tool, these paper people and paper horses, but they are real underworld yin divisions, of course, they have to be treated with caution." The fat man explained.
Li Ergou nodded in understanding.
But he still couldn't help asking: "What about Ami's father's body, do you just let those paper people take it away?" ”
In any case, the dead are the greatest, and no matter how good Ami's father is, he should not be at peace after death.
Unless, if he really did something hurtful, even Lord Yama would have to interrogate him personally.
"We may have to ask Miss Ami about this." The fat man glanced at Ami and said with something in his words.
Obviously, the fat man also thought of a piece with Li Ergou.
Lord Yama will not send Yin Si to arrest people for no reason, let alone take the corpse away, and Ami will not know nothing.
To get to the bottom of things, Ami becomes the key.
But now, Ami is not only pale, but also weak, and doesn't seem to have the extra strength to speak.
"Miss Ami, you have thought about it, since you are asking us to help, you must tell us the truth, otherwise, we will not be able to help you."
After the fat man saw this situation, he spoke directly.
Li Ergou was stunned after hearing this, and his eyes looked back and forth on Ami several times.
Listening to the fat man's meaning, could it be that Ami is still pretending to be weak?
Ami listened to the words, a look of struggle appeared in her eyes, and finally she seemed to have made up her mind, stood up straight and said, "Let's go, go into the house and talk." ”
"Are you alright?" Li Ergou was directly stunned.
Ami looks very simple on the outside, but she didn't expect her scheming to be so deep, but Li Ergou couldn't figure out what her purpose was for doing this.
If there is anything worth remembering about Li Ergou and the fat man, it is nothing more than the fat man's deeds and Li Ergou's special identity.
At this time, Li Ergou suddenly thought of a sentence he saw when reading the novel: "What is more terrifying than ghosts is the human heart!" ”
Ghosts sometimes have feelings and righteousness, but people's hearts are too difficult to fathom, and people who greet each other with a smile in front of them and a knife in their backs abound.
Except for your parents, who will treat you without regrets, no one else can be completely trusted.
The courtyard of Ami's house is a typical farmhouse courtyard, which looks a bit like a courtyard house, and a mourning hall is also set up in the courtyard.
It's just that in the living room, where Ami's father's body was originally parked, there is now only an empty coffin left, and the corpse inside has long been moved away by those paper people and paper horses.
Seeing this, the last trace of luck in Li Ergou's heart disappeared.
Originally, he thought that what those paper men and paper horses carried away was only the soul of Ami's father, not the corpse.
Now it seems that he is obviously thinking too much.
"Mom, what's wrong with you, wake up!"
Suddenly, Ami pounced on a middle-aged woman in white cloth in front of the mourning hall and cried nervously.
Judging from Ami's name for the middle-aged woman, it should be her mother, but Ami called for a long time, and the middle-aged woman still didn't respond.
"Fat man, do you have a way?"
Seeing this situation, Li Ergou hurriedly asked the fat man.
Even though Ami has a lot of wrongs, but her mother is innocent, it seems that she should have been cast by that group of paper people and paper horses to be like this.
"Brother Ergou, I can't do anything about this, Yin Si's spell is not so easy to solve, as long as the time is up, she will naturally wake up." The fat man looked embarrassed, spread his hands and said.
Ami's crying pear blossom brought rain, and she begged with her face up: "Brother Ergou, fat man, please take a hand and carry my mother back to the house, don't let her sleep on the ground." ”
For this request, Li Ergou did not hesitate and helped Ami move the middle-aged woman to the room together.
"Ami, can you tell us the truth now?"
After everything was done, the fat man asked Ami, and Li Ergou also looked at Ami, wanting to hear what she would say.
"Hey, here's the thing, three days ago, my father went up the mountain to chop firewood and accidentally picked up a piece of ancient jade, and the next morning, my father suddenly ran out of gas, and then something strange happened at home."
Ami sighed and said, she said as she took out a jade pendant from her body.
"Throw it away!"
Who knows, as soon as Ami took out the jade pendant, the fat man was suddenly shocked, and then slapped the jade pendant on the ground.
"Fat man, what the hell is going on?" Li Ergou hurriedly asked.
He glanced at the ground and found that the jade pendant was in the shape of a dragon, and after being slapped down by the fat man, it was not broken on the spot, but emitted a strange green light.
That green light gave people an extremely cold feeling, and even the soul couldn't help but start trembling.
"This is Ghost Tuoyu!" The fat man said with a solemn face.
Even when he faced the city god and those paper men and horses, he didn't show so seriousness.
"Ghost Tuoyu, what is that?" Li Ergou was puzzled.
The fat man took a deep breath, and then said: "Ghost Tuo Jade is a kind of jade pendant that has been cursed by powerful ghosts, and it is basically dead when touched, which is very ominous. ”
After hearing the fat man's words, Ami was instantly stunned, she didn't expect that her ghost collision and her father's death were caused by this jade pendant.
Li Ergou was also a little dumbfounded.
That ghost Tuoyu, it seems to be hundreds of years old, to say the least, he doesn't believe that Ami's father can pick up this evil thing by going to the mountains to chop firewood.
In this world, there are many people who see money and have an eye for it, but this kind of person almost ends up with nothing.
"Ami, do you have something else to hide from us?" Li Ergou asked.
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
As soon as she heard this, Ami's face suddenly changed, and she vomited for a long time, but she didn't say anything, and she knew that there was something in her heart at a glance.
"Ami, if you do this again, I will go back with the fat man." Li Ergou said angrily.
In the final analysis, they and Ami also met in Pingshui, and being able to accompany her to Xiahai Village is already benevolent and righteous, if Ami is not honest, then he and the fat man really don't need to meddle in their affairs.
"Don't, don't go!"
It was only at this moment that Ami became nervous, and she seemed to have made up some kind of determination, got up and went into a bedroom, and it wasn't long before she came out with a jar.
"Well, I'll tell you the truth, after my father found the jade pendant, he went into the mountain again, and I went with him, and then I found a cave and found this jar of silver."
Ami said as she took out a silver ingot from the jar.
Now that things are almost clear, it's no wonder that after a series of strange things, Ami is still silent about the truth of the matter.
It was for this jar of silver!
If you are a wretched man, there will be something to hate.
Presumably, she ran to Yangcheng at night, not because she was confused by ghosts, but her real purpose was probably to find a buyer for this jar of silver.
Li Ergou suddenly felt that Ami was not worthy of pity at all.
"Fat man, let's go, there's no need to worry about this." Li Ergou said angrily.
However, as soon as his words fell, the fat man glanced at him, then approached his ear and whispered: "Brother Ergou, don't be in a hurry to leave first, I'm afraid this matter is related to Fengyuan Building." ”
