Chapter 18: Grandma Goes Missing

"Something to do with me? Damn, can you make it clear in one breath. "I looked at the Taoist priest and saw his mysterious look, and I really wanted to throw him two mouths.

Seeing that I wanted to get angry, he didn't sell it anymore, and his expression became serious: "I won't tell you, since I met you, Dao Ye has always felt that you have a different breath, that breath is very weird, sometimes and now, when it is strong, even if Dao Ye is just close to you, he will have a creepy feeling." ”

"Breath, what breath? Is it the taste, Lao Tzu doesn't smell like a fox! I didn't understand the meaning of the Taoist priest's words, so I cursed.

"It's not a smell, alas, all those who cultivate the Tao, with a little cultivation, will produce spiritual sense, which is a kind of perception that is different from the five senses, and can detect some breaths that ordinary people can't perceive, such as ghosts. Although Dao Ye's spiritual eyes are not working from time to time, if there are dirty things around him, he can still detect some abnormalities more or less, just because of his spiritual sense. ”

As he spoke, he looked at me with a fearful expression: "The aura on your body comes and goes, especially when you are asleep, that aura is like a demon that is about to break free, combined with the curse you said, I suspect that the aura has a great temptation for the evil things, and this is why the terrible evil things are attracted one after another." ”

This is just a Taoist speculation, but it is undoubtedly highly probable, because I also had such an idea. But this is only speculation after all, and it does not stand up to scrutiny.

The ghost vines in the hanging corpse forest of Aji Village have existed for a long time, and they did not appear after I arrived, so they cannot be regarded as provoked by me; There are also mountain ghosts, which also appeared long before I came back, and it has nothing to do with me, and besides, the vampire vine that the Taoist priest met is not necessarily the one in Aji Village, you must know that Aji Village is six or seven hundred kilometers away from his hometown, such a long distance, no matter how evil the vamphire vine is, it is impossible to cross such a long distance, right?

After thinking about it, I didn't have a definite clue, so I asked why the Shishan Xiao gathered at the village monument, and would it be bad for the villagers?

The Taoist priest thought for a while and said that the stele was indeed a sacred object to ward off evil spirits, and the reason why the mandrills gathered there was not because it was special, but because there was a village monument, and they could not break into the village. The miserable old Yang Tou must have heard the movement and went out to check, but he was out of the range of the stele guard, so he was poisoned, so as long as he didn't go out of the village at night, it was safe.

This is extremely important news, which is related to the lives of the villagers, and must be notified immediately.

It's been a few days since I returned to my hometown, and I've been in a coma, and I haven't had time to visit relatives and friends, so I just took this opportunity to pass on the news.

Grandma hasn't been back since she left in the morning, and Sister Bailing hasn't been seen since I woke up. The Taoist priest said that she followed the search and rescue team organized by Jiugong into the mountain, and that there had been a search and rescue team into the mountain to look for Tie Dan and Miwa in the past few days, but they had not found it.

I have a bad premonition in my heart, it's been almost three weeks, even if the two of them haven't been killed by the mountain ghosts, I'm afraid they will be starved to death, if there is no more news, I'm afraid there is really no hope.

The Taoist priest has been living at his grandmother's house for the past few days, and he is familiar with this, Sister Bailing and grandma are not there, and I am weak, and breakfast falls on his head. The conditions in the mountains are not good, the Taoist priest was busy in the kitchen for a while, and brought out a bowl of green vegetable and egg porridge, which looked good, and tasted quite good, I couldn't help but sigh, this guy is really a comprehensive hand, and it is really a waste not to be a chef.

After breakfast, it was already past eleven o'clock. When I recovered a little and gained strength, I beckoned the Taoist priest to bring gifts and go door-to-door to visit those relatives who were more familiar.

This is my practice of going home every year, this time I went home so early, although many people have been given the news of my homecoming, but they are still more surprised when they really see it, especially those children, for them, seeing me is equivalent to seeing a lot of fun toys and delicious snacks, around me, some call uncle, some call brother, oh, that little mouth sweet.

While sending the gifts, I warned them not to leave the village at night, but I was worried that telling the story of the ghost mandrill would cause panic, but fortunately I panicked, saying that my grandmother had informed them that they would die if they went out.

Grandma's prestige and seniority in the village are the highest, and everyone knows that she is a goddess, the kind that is very effective, so when they heard that this was notified by grandma, everyone nodded to indicate that they knew.

After all the acquaintances of relatives, I was worried that the news would spread too slowly and there would be omissions, so I rushed to the village committee, where the village chief uncle was not there, but there was a cousin and uncle. I told him about the situation, and then I was relieved a little after I broadcast the news on the loudspeaker a dozen times.

When I got home, it was already dusk.

Grandma still hasn't come back, it's been a day. I was a little anxious, but I couldn't help it, my grandmother didn't have a mobile phone, so I couldn't contact her.

I went separately with the Taoist priest to look for it, and when I met an acquaintance, I asked, and I found that it was almost dark and there was no news, and everyone said that they didn't see it.

I was a little flustered, and I said to myself, where can this old lady go? Thinking about it, I happened to meet a group of villagers who came back from the mountains, and it seemed that they were the search and rescue team that entered the mountains today.

Sister Bailing was in the crowd, she looked surprised when she saw me, and after greeting the people on the side, she happily came to my side, "Great, Xiaoyi, you're awake!" ”

As she spoke, she came to pinch my ears, but seeing that I was sweating profusely and looking anxious, her hand immediately stopped: "What's the matter, look at your sweat, what's wrong?" ”

I told my grandmother that she hadn't come back since she went out in the morning, and her face changed, but she still showed a reluctant smile, telling me not to worry, go back and have a look first, maybe during the time I came out, grandma has already gone back. As soon as I thought about it, I pulled Sister Bailing and walked back.

Due to the death of people in the village and the radio notice during the day, although it was not completely dark, there were basically no people in the village, and the big guys locked the doors early, and the road seemed very deserted.

Pulling Sister Bailing back home with a roar, I found that the door of the courtyard was open, and I was overjoyed, thinking that my grandmother was back, so I rushed in, but I saw the Taoist priest.

"How's it going, have you heard any news?" I asked.

The Taoist priest was also sweating profusely, and was fetching water by the well to drink, he grunted and drank a large scoop of water, took a breath and said, "Your grandmother didn't find it, but she ran into two guys that the Taoist master didn't like." As he spoke, he pointed to the hall.

When I looked, I saw two public safety experts, a man and a woman, coming out of the hall.

"Hello, your name is Zhang Ziyi, right? I am from the Dagu Town Criminal Investigation Brigade, my name is Niu Gang, and this is my colleague He Xiaoyi. ”

Before I could react, the middle-aged male police officer had already walked towards me and extended his hand to me as he introduced.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Ziyi, I don't know what the two of you are looking for me?" I shook his hand, a little apprehensive, not knowing what had happened, but vaguely I had a vague feeling that it might have something to do with the murder in the morning.

The police officer named Niu Gang looked about fifty years old, with a Chinese face, a resolute face, and was very kind, seeing that I was a little cramped, he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we just want to know something about you." ”

As he spoke, he patted me on the shoulder and gave me a kind smile. My tense heart was relaxed, Uncle Yang was dead, and it was not strange that someone from the village came to investigate, but how could they find me?

As soon as I wanted to speak, I heard He Xiaoyi on the side snort coldly: "Hmph, be a thief!" ”

Because I was nervous, I didn't look at Niu Gang's colleague just now, and when I heard her say this, I turned my eyes to her, looked carefully, and suddenly felt a little amazing.

If I'm not mistaken, she should be called He Xiaoyi. is different from Niu Gang, He Xiaoyi is much younger, about the same age as me, with shoulder-length short hair, goose egg face, willow eyebrows and red lips, and a very cute nose, she looks no worse than Lin Qiaoer, and she also has a heroic feeling, which suddenly makes me feel like a heroine.

Compared to her appearance, she didn't give me a good impression, staring at me with both eyes, and that look was obviously looking at a villain.

"Xiao He, don't talk nonsense!" Niu Gang frowned and scolded, compared to He Xiaoyi, Niu Gang was obviously much calmer and more stable.

"Don't mind, she just joined the team this year and is inexperienced, so don't pay attention to it." Niu Gang said to me apologetically.

"It's okay, let's go in and talk!"

I invited the two of them into the hall to sit down, Sister Bailing poured tea for them, I was worried about my grandmother, and the arrival of the two public safety experts reminded me of the matter of the mandrill, so I was even more restless, and anxiously called Erhu and the village chief to ask if my grandmother was there with them, but the news I got shocked my heart.
