Chapter 234: Preliminary Plan
I sighed heavily, and leaned on the table with my head on my back, feeling like my mind was in turmoil.
Li Xiaoxiao poured me a cup of tea and said softly, "About this miracle...... Have you ever leaked out? ”
Li Xiaoxiao's words woke me up, and I suddenly remembered the tunic that threatened me with Mengyue's life. He snatched the spirit bead from me at that time, and in the field outside Yin Si Street, if it weren't for the help of that black shadow, I am afraid that I would have died in his hands.
At that time, during the confrontation, I clearly remember that he said a sentence, the bead was finally handed over to his original owner, so who was his original owner?
This bead was left by the third uncle when he left the inn, which means that I am the current owner of this bead, and its previous owner was the third uncle, so its original owner must be related to the third uncle.
Because this bead must have been taken from someone else's hands by the third uncle, but the third uncle is no longer there, and the big bag has also been taken away, so I can only go up the mountain to seek the help of the "boss lady".
I went up the mountain overnight, and when I came to the hut on the mountain, I found that the door of the hut was open. But out of politeness, I knocked lightly on the door, but three times in a row no one answered.
I walked in, but when I entered the main room, I found that there was no one in the room. The lights in the room were on, and everything in the room was the same as I had seen it before.
There were two side rooms next to it, and I tentatively searched for it, but found nothing. No, this boss lady is gone.
Everything in this room was clean, and there was obviously no sign of a fight, but how could this proprietress disappear inexplicably?
The big bag was taken away, the proprietress was gone, and the people related to the third uncle were gone. It seems that this man knows Liulin very well, and he cut off all the clues I can think of so far, and after descending the mountain, I returned to the inn.
"How? Any clues? ”
I shook my head gently and said, "The proprietress is gone, too." ”
"What?"
Without this clue, I had to continue to think about other clues. I struggled to recall every word I had said in my dealings with the man, and then I suddenly remembered a detail.
If I'm not mistaken, the reason why he was able to step into the city of vain death at that time was because he had a horse-faced rakshasa. And after he walked into the city with his waist card, he was going to find the deputy general Zhang.
This Vice Admiral Zhang is not unfamiliar, and perhaps I can find some clues from his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed, and after dawn I was ready to drive away. Before I go to find Vice Admiral Zhang, I still have one more thing to do, and that is to send all the souls in the mirror back to the underworld.
It would be a bit inappropriate for me to rush to Vice General Zhang now, so these dead souls are the reason for me to go to him. These souls are all people who died in vain, so they should be under the jurisdiction of the dead city.
drove directly to Zhou Tianshun, and at this time, those dead souls were helping Zhou Tianshun deal with the vegetable field. When Zhou Tianshun saw me coming, he smiled and said, "Your hands and feet are quite sharp, and you have proven your innocence so quickly?" ”
I smiled wryly and said no more.
"Alright, now that he's here, let him take you away."
I picked up the water bottle on the floor and filled it with all the dead as usual. As for the girl in the yellow dress, I chose to put her in the passenger seat.
After all, she saved my life, so her treatment is naturally different from those dead souls.
Driving back to Liulin Town, I looked at her and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Huang Tingting."
"I'm here to pick you up this time, but I'm going to send you to the underworld, and I'll do my best to fulfill your wishes in the yang world."
She turned her head to look at me, her mouth open as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. I knew what she was thinking, so I asked, "What year were you born?" ”
"Nineteen 78."
"Seven or eight years?"
I was born in 1986, and I only thought she was a post-80s generation like me, but I didn't expect her to be a post-70s generation, and she was eight years older than me.
I briefly calmed down and said, "Then your parents should still be alive now, why don't you go and see them?" ”
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Huang Tingting's home used to be an urban village, but it was still moved away when the city was expanded, and when I drove there, it became a department store. So I made many inquiries and finally found Huang Tingting's home.
It was a resettlement community, and as soon as we got out of the car, we saw a bunch of couples selling fruit at the entrance of the community. The couple had gray hair and looked to be in their sixties, and Huang Tingting looked at the couple and a tear of blood flowed from her eyes.
After thinking about it, the couple who sold fruit were Huang Tingting's parents. Actually, I wanted to channel the couple and let them see each other, but I gave up because of their age.
Huang Tingting just took a few looks from afar, and then we left. As the old saying goes, people die like lights go out, and since they are dead, they should no longer have any concerns, and all the grievances and entanglements in the world have nothing to do with you.
After Huang Tingting's thoughts, I took them back to Liulin Town, and then through Liulin Town, I took them to Yin Si Street.
This Yin Si Street belongs to them, and these dead souls are here for the first time, so they are very curious about everything on this Yin Si Street. When I passed the "shop of good and evil" again, I saw the old man lying on the steps, looking at me with a look of resentment.
"You kid is such a liar, I've been waiting here for a year, when are you going to return my chair?"
I squatted down beside him, took out some coins from my pocket, and said, "Haven't you been too busy lately, I'll definitely bring you a chair next time, and this money will be considered compensation for you." ”
The old man shook the money in his hand and said with a smile, "Well, even if you kid still has a little conscience, but I won't ask for your money in vain." ”
With that, he pulled out a small ball of paper from his pocket.
"What are you?"
"I'm telling you what's in this ball of paper is what you want to know, but now is not the time to open it, and wait until you feel like you're running out of options."
I looked at the unsightly ball of paper in my hand, and the old man got up from the ground to go to the merry shop next door.
Before he left, he made a special instruction.
"Don't open it until you have to, it can only take care of you once."
