Chapter 4: Crossing People and Ghosts (4)
Xia Mu finally stood up straight and nodded seriously: "Where is your home?" Let's call your lady and meet you. Will you be able to understand your wish to be reborn? ”
"Really! Xianzun, Xian Gu, are you really willing to help me find my lady? Zhang Dapeng didn't expect that someone would be willing to help him, and he was so excited that he almost didn't kneel.
Situ Lan: "......"
"Well, where is your home? Let's find out. "The summer curtain is full of spirit.
Zhang Dapeng cried with joy: "I am a small businessman who sells groceries for a living, and his family lives in Liancheng, one hundred and fifty miles away from Jialai Town. Three years ago, my wife and I went to Fengshan City to sell goods on the way through this Jialai Town, and suddenly fell ill. But when I found out that I had become a lonely soul, my wife disappeared, and for the past three years, I have been waiting here for her return. ”
"Why do you have to wait here?" Xia Mu asked puzzled.
"I only remember this place. When we first arrived in Jialai Town, we passed by this place, and it was in this place that a noodle stall was set up. My wife and I had a meal of steak noodles here, and I still remember my lady sitting at the table wiping my sweat and putting the steak in her bowl into my bowl, just to let me eat more, she was always so gentle, always thinking about me, and putting me in the most important position. Zhang Dapeng muttered as if he had fallen into memory again.
"Oh, so last night, the steak you asked me for was the same steak from the noodle stall I ate last night?" Xia Mu was a little sudden.
"Exactly, so last night...... only offended the fairy girl. Zhang Dapeng muttered.
Xia Mu waved his hand and said generously: "No, didn't you just ask me for a piece of meat steak, it's okay." I knew this was the case, and I gave you both pieces. ”
Zhang Dapeng tilted his head, and found that what the two of them said didn't seem to be right, and was about to ask, but heard Situ Lan say: "Then what?" ”
"I fell ill very suddenly, I began to have a high fever on the night I arrived in Jialai Town, and then my wife prescribed medicine for a doctor, but it never got better, and I don't remember how many days I stayed up at that time, and I don't remember what happened next. When I came to consciousness again, I realized that I had become a wandering spirit, and my wife was nowhere to be found. I still have a lot of words to say to her, I'm unwilling!! Zhang Dapeng said in the end, and he had already howled in pain.
Although Xia Mu understood the story, she didn't know what to do at all, so she had to pull Situ Lan aside and ask Situ Lan, "Do you know what's going on with him?" Do we get his wife back, he sees his wife, and after saying what he needs to say, he can be reincarnated on Huangquan Road in a down-to-earth manner? ”
"Died unexpectedly." Situ Lan shook his head slightly.
"What? Who died unexpectedly, did he? "The summer curtain is stagnant, didn't he say that he died of illness? Why did he die again?
"He couldn't be reborn, not just because he had a last wish. Most importantly, he did not die of illness. Situ Lan said.
"Huh? No way! So how did he die? ”
"I don't know, or I will die of poisoning, or I will die of a spell. In short, it was not an ordinary death. Situ Lan said very calmly.
But Xia Mu was stupid in place, and a series of possibilities began to pop up in his mind. Could it be that he was poisoned by his own wife, but in fact, his wife didn't love him as much as he said. Or, he offended someone in business, and they killed him in order to rob the business. Besides, he collided with some powerful warlock and was killed? Well, Natsumu feels like she needs a copy of Sherlock Holmes.
"Shall we tell him how he died?" Why is this so awkward? A dead man who doesn't know the true cause of his death.
"You're going to help him?" Situ Lan asked.
"Huh? Is that possible? Only then did he remember that he should ask for the consent of the big brother beside him, but it seemed to be a little late, so he had to ask weakly: "Isn't the responsibility of the moon bud cloud to eliminate the demon and defend the way, and we should take care of such a miserable and unjust thing, right?" ”
"......" Situ Lan.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia Mu held up the courage to continue: "Are you in a hurry to go to Yanzhou to do something?" If you don't rush, let's help him, such a loyal and infatuated man is the only one in our place, I have never met one in the past 20 years of life. You see that I met him last night, and I met him again today, and I always felt that maybe we were sent by God to help him? Besides, I'm wondering, how did I suddenly see a ghost? This is really a thought-provoking question, when did I have yin and yang eyes, why did I never know it before? Now I can see ghosts. Is it because everyone in this world has such special abilities? No way!
Situ Lan didn't say anything here, but he remembered the voice last night: "Ah Lan." ”
Xia Mu's voice was exactly the same as the voice she called herself back then, and the two overlapped so much that it poked his heart like stopping water, and there were ripples. Thinking of the appearance of the summer curtain last night, Situ Lan said: "Don't rush, let it be." ”
"Really? Okay, let's help him, let's go find his wife first, okay? Xia Mu thought that Situ Lan would definitely agree in the end, but he agreed so happily that he was still surprised.
"Okay." Situ Lan nodded.
The two walked back to Zhang Dapeng, and Xia Mu asked: "Then tell us the specific address of your house, let's go to your house for you first, and maybe we can find your wife." ”
"Hey! What a joke! The great kindness of Xianzun and Xiangu, I, Zhang Dapeng, will definitely repay the two of them in the next life. Zhang Dapeng was about to kneel when he saw it, Xia Mu was not used to someone kneeling on him, so he stopped him, but found that he had passed through his body, and his hand was empty in the air. So the ghost is like this?
After knowing the address of Zhang Dapeng's house, how to get to Liancheng has become the biggest problem, one hundred and fifty miles, in this world without cars, high-speed rail, and airplanes, can you only walk on two legs? Even if you don't sleep or stop, you have to walk for at least two or three days. And Situ Lan's words made Xia Mu even more desperate. He said, "This soul has been on earth for no more than three days. ”
Even if you find Zhang Dapeng's wife, you will definitely not have time to come back. When the summer curtain was at a loss, Situ Lan took out a small jar out of nowhere, held the bottle in his left hand, raised two fingers with his right hand, and recited an unknown incantation, and Zhang Dapeng was actually sucked into it in an instant, leaving only a broken umbrella to fall to the ground.
"Wow! What is it? Xia Mu asked.
"Nai He bottle, the soul who has not yet crossed the Nai He Bridge, put him here for the time being." Situ Lan replied.
"Oh, that's amazing." She took the small bottle from Situ Lan's hand, empty? Shaken, no sound.
"Let's go." Situ Lan withdrew the bottle into his sleeve.
"Shall we go? Do you really have no other means of transportation here? Xia Mu asked while touching the little fox, and finally remembered the small cage that was thrown out, and looked at it carefully after picking it up, fortunately, the little fox was still alive. I'm sorry!
"Edgeworth." Situ Lan didn't care.
"Huh? Edgeworth? Is that what it means to fly away? Will it fall off? Are there any security measures in place? Like a parachute or something? Edgeworth is faster than walking, isn't it? Shall we think about other ways to do it? Or...... Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! "People have been dragged up to heaven.
I don't know how long it took, Xia Mu was finally able to ease up a little, poked his head out of Situ Lan's arms, opened one eye and glanced at the surroundings, and really shuttled under the clouds in the air. I found that my feet were stepping on Situ Lan's Xueji, and this saber seemed to have become a little bigger, and it could actually accommodate two people to step on it together without being crowded. The sun poured down from top to bottom through the clouds, the wind in their ears, and the mountains and rivers under their feet roared like scenery outside the car window.
Summer has never felt so excited! I'm flying! I'm flying!
"Situ Lan, you are really amazing. You can even take me flying! It's really right to follow you! "You know, how hard it is to find someone who is willing to take you and pretend to take you to fly, and will not throw you down! Xia Mu shouted uncontrollably.
Situ Lan glanced down at the woman who was still in her arms at first, clinging to her waist and clutching her waist, closing her eyes tightly for fear of falling to death. This will be lively and laughing again, especially when he heard Xia Mu say that it was really right to follow him, unconsciously, Ji Xue under his feet seemed to fly faster.
In less than the evening, the two landed in the house that Zhang Dapeng said.
But the summer curtain knocked on the door for a long time, and no one came out to open the door. Just when she wondered if she was in the wrong place, a farmer passed by with a hoe and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Hello, uncle. Is this family's name Zhang Dapeng? His lady's name is Li Yulan, right? Xia Mu saw that someone was asking, and hurriedly ran over.
"Huh? What do you say about them? Died early! The farmer shook his head and sighed.
"Dead? Are you saying Zhang Dapeng is dead? What about his wife? Does Li Yulan still live here? ”
"They're all dead! I heard that the man died on the way to sell goods, and the body was not brought back. When the woman returned, she died not long after. And he died a miserable death, very strange, huh? The farmer whispered while staring at the courtyard that had not been entered or left for a long time.
Stunned, she picked out the goosebumps on Xia Mu's body, she swallowed her saliva and continued to ask: "His wife, how did she die?" ”
The farmer shook his head again and said, "I don't know." Anyway, when I was discovered, it was almost rotten, and I pretended to be dead for more than half a year. I heard that the body was found without a single piece of close-fitting clothing, and ah, she was found in a box. You know that, right? There are also scratches on the walls inside the box, indicating that someone locked it alive and finally suffocated or starved to death in the box. ”
Xia Mu's scalp was numb when he heard it, how could there be such a perverted murderer in this world. "That'...... Has the murderer been found? ”
"How can I find it? That little lady, since her husband died, came back alone, a little widow, and no one would take the initiative to recruit her, for fear of causing trouble, and even more afraid of bad luck. So how and when she died, no one knows, but there was a time last year, when a farmer who returned late or a hunter who came out to hunt at night passed by here, he always heard a woman crying inside, crying so miserably. Later, a few brave men went in together, searched around and found no one, but found a box in the kitchen cabinet, everyone thought it was strange and opened it. Hey, hey, roar......"
The farmer spoke in horror, and sighed for the last time, but he didn't frighten the summer curtain to jump on the spot.
“…… Found her body? "Summer Curtain's throat is a little dry.
"Exactly! A corpse that was almost rotten. The farmer slapped his thigh and kindly persuaded: "Hey! Don't talk about it, it's good that it's daytime, otherwise it's really ...... to talk about it at this door Alas. There's no one in there, and whoever you're looking for won't be able to find it. Go away, too. It's dark, it's not peaceful. ”
"Huh...... Got it, thank you. "Thank you so much for your family, Xia Mu felt like she was about to be scared to pee.
