Chapter 236: Little Ghost Warning
When I took Master Wu to the village chief's house, along the way, I thought that if the village chief rested early, then I would let Master Wu simply stay at our house for one night. Fortunately, however, when the two of us arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief's house was still lit up.
Listening to me say that Master Wu would stay overnight, he didn't have anything unwilling, after all, they have many houses and a big place, and they are not bad for such a person.
But after settling Master Wu to sleep, he grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
The village chief pulled me to sit down at the door and said to me, "The case in the neighboring village is closed, you probably know, right?" ”
"I ...... I don't know. "Although I don't know, I'm not surprised, after all, the case has been dragged on for so long, wasting manpower and material resources, and in the end nothing can be found. I really don't know what else to do other than close the case. But the village chief suddenly mentioned this matter, but I couldn't help but think of the corpse of Hu Qifu's family, "What? Do you need me to help carry the coffin? ”
The village chief shook his head and said, "That's not it, it's just that it's quite strange." ”
"Strange?" I don't know what the village chief is referring to.
If it's strange, the bodies of Hu Qifu and his family have been lying there for so long, they should have been rotten a long time ago, and what should have happened would have happened a long time ago, how could they wait until now?
When the village chief saw that I was puzzled, he explained to me: "On the day they left, they wanted to bury the body. The village chief of the neighboring village did not do it, saying that he was afraid that if it was not handled well, it would cause trouble, so he stopped them from burying it. They didn't want to bother, so they left. As a result, early the next morning, someone reported to the village chief, saying that the body was missing. ”
"Gone?" I wondered, "How could it be gone?" ”
"Then who knows?" The village chief raised his eyebrows and said, "If I knew, I wouldn't ask you!" You say, what the hell is going on? Could it be a corpse, where did it go? Will you come to our village? ”
I couldn't cry or laugh at the village chief's worries, so I could only comfort him: "It's okay, the morgue has been stopped for so long, it's almost rotten and clean, if something happens, it will happen a long time ago, and you still have to wait until now?" Besides, there is nothing in our village that attracts him, so why does he have nothing to do to wander around us? ”
The village chief thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right!" If you come, you will take the wickedness. ”
I nodded my head again and again, even to give him comfort. Then, I wanted to get up and say goodbye, after all, it was not too early at this time.
But the village chief stopped me again and said to me, "Do you remember, that archaeological team?" ”
Archaeological team?
If the village chief didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about this archaeological team!
"What? Did something happen to the archaeological team? I asked casually.
The village chief nodded, "Not really! They're all troublemakers! Aren't they unable to find that ancient tomb? After another half a day, I somehow found a new place, which has been circled. Yes, there are traces of passivity in that place, in order to avoid the loss of cultural relics, we must open it and look at it, and try our best to ...... Ay? What's that word called? Oh, oh, rescue! That's right, it's called rescue! ”
"What's the matter with us?" I asked.
The village chief exclaimed: "This is digging in our village!" Why is it none of our business? ”
"They're an archaeological team, and that's what they do. You can't help but cooperate, can you? Besides, this kind of thing, you speak, it's much more effective than me! I said I wouldn't let me dig it, and they wouldn't listen to me. Besides, it is said that the place has been touched, and if something should happen, something will happen. It's okay if nothing happens! Besides, isn't there nothing unusual either? Peace of mind, it's okay. ”
"Well, that's what you said!" The village chief glanced at me and said half-truthfully.
I didn't doubt him, so I replied casually: "Okay, yes, I said it!" ”
The village chief immediately smiled, turned around and patted me on the shoulder, and said to me, "Then please!" Tomorrow, I'll tell Captain Cui to find you! ”
Cui Rongguang? Looking for me again?
I felt as if I had been deceived by someone stupidly, and tried to reason, but the village chief had already stood up, walked a long way, turned back to say goodbye to me, and told me to go home and rest early.
Jiang Yifeng had also walked up to me at this time, and he asked me, "What's wrong with the village chief today?" It seems to have taken a big advantage. ”
"Is there one?" I asked.
Jiang Yifeng glanced back again, then turned his head and said to me affirmatively: "You see, he must have it, but he has taken a big advantage." ”
"Oh." I looked up at the sky and said to Jiang Yifeng, "Go home." ”
He took a big advantage? Am I suffering a great loss?
When I got home, it was late.
It can be said that the things caused by the imps have finally calmed down a little until now. When I took over their business, I never imagined that things would come to this point.
And it's been a long time since I left home that I haven't been at home. The little ghost I worshipped at the beginning has always been Minmin taking care of me. And now that I'm back, I still have to be comforted. After all, a little ghost is a child, and it doesn't feel good to be alone, and loneliness often makes him develop in an extreme direction, which is not what I want.
I lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the offering furnace in front of him, and I was relieved to see that the shadow with yin energy no longer seemed to be full of hostility and resentment as it once was.
"It's been a long time since you've been here." The imp said to me suddenly.
I sighed and replied, "Yes, I've done this one thing after another since I buried you." First of all, your parents...... Forget it, don't mention that, I may be able to stay with you for a while. ”
"Really?" The innocent voice of the little ghost sounded in my ears, although I couldn't feel his weight, but I could feel that he should be standing on my shoulder, "I thought you were going to leave again!" Will you take me with you this time? ”
"......" I fell silent.
The little ghost knew more things than I thought, and he could even know about the Cui Rongguang archaeological team that the village chief had just mentioned to me. So, does he also know what Cui Rongguang is looking for me?
I didn't say anything for a while, wondering if I should ask him about it. But the little ghost suddenly said, "Can you not go?" ”
"Don't go?" I wondered, "Are you referring to Captain Cui?" They don't necessarily need my help. The village chief just said he would come to me. It's my business whether I go or not, he can't force me, right? ”
"But you're always pushing yourself." The imp's voice was so soft that if he hadn't been so close to me, I wouldn't have been able to hear him.
"You don't want me to go?" I asked.
The imp fell silent, and I waited for a long time, but he didn't speak again.
Seeing that she didn't want to say, I didn't ask anything more. Told him to rest early, and planned to go back to the house first.
When I turned around and walked to the door of the house, I suddenly felt an inexplicable trip under my feet and immediately fell to the ground. I threw myself forward and knocked down a cabinet next to me, and I only had time to dodge as the solid wood cabinet slammed down. Immediately after, I felt a tearing pain coming from my leg. My eyes were so dark that I didn't even scream.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Jiang Yifeng, who had just entered the house to rest, hurriedly ran out. When he saw me, he hurriedly ran over, and while trying to move the cabinet, he complained to me, "You really have nothing to do!" What is this for? Can't you walk well? ”
