Chapter 423: Stranger
I followed the road all the way to the east and soon arrived at a morning market.
At this time, the morning market is almost over, the vendors are packing their things, and few people linger in front of the stalls.
As I walked through the crowd, I saw a fish vendor on my left dressed strangely, wearing a large hat and a cloak and a pair of straw sandals on his feet, which is rare these days.
He lowered his head deeply, and the hat was very large, completely covering his face, and I judged from his body shape that he was a man of medium stature, and his age should be between 40~50 years old.
And what made me even more incredible was that the homemade iron basin in front of him that could not be seen on the market actually had only a few small fish the size of his thumb in it, and there were no other utensils next to it.
How can anyone come to the market to sell these thumb-thick small fish, such fish are not delicious to buy, and it is quite oil-intensive to make.
Judging from his dress, he should have come from a nearby village, and I had learned from Team Leader Yang before that the nearest village is more than 40 minutes away by car, and this vendor can't afford to make a trip.
The vendors around him were busy packing up their things and going back, and he just stood there with his head slightly bowed, as if waiting for someone to come and buy fish.
I thought about it and was about to ask him tentatively how to sell the fish, but as if he knew that I would buy fish from him, he suddenly bent down and picked up the iron basin, turned and hurried south.
I stood there and craned my neck to look at his back, and he walked very fast with the iron basin, and the water in the iron basin would splash on the ground from time to time, and it looked like his back looked hasty and slightly embarrassed, what a strange person.
I turned around and asked the aunt who was selling vegetables next to me, "Auntie, is this merchant next to you just now, is he selling fish, why do you sell these small fish?" ”
When the aunt heard this, she suddenly stopped the movements in her hand, frowned and said, "Who knows, it's just a strange person, who makes so many small fish stand here all morning, and no one talks to him, of course, no one asks about his fish, who are rare." ”
"That's really strange, could it be that there is something unusual about his fish, and he is waiting to sell it for a good price!" I said with a smile.
"That kind of fish is just a very ordinary river grown, children can catch it, what's so special." Aunt said with a frown.
The man selling pork next to him also laughed, "I think he is stupid in the mountains, thinking that if he gets a few fish here, the people in the city will buy them, and he really treats the people in the city as fools, but this is because people in the mountains often get a pheasant or a bird or something to bring to the city, and the people in the city think it is strange and spend a good price to buy it, and many people think that the people in the city have really never seen the world and buy everything." ”
I smiled and handed the man who sold the meat a cigarette, "Big brother, did you see what he looked like just now?" His dress is rather mysterious. ”
The man shook his head and pouted and said, "It's like a spy, from head to toe only those feet are exposed, standing here for a morning, I just didn't see what he looked like, I didn't even see the outline of his face, do you think it's a psychopath?" ”
I echoed the smile and made small talk to him before leaving.
When I stood next to the fish seller just now, I didn't feel that he had a special aura on him, but judging from his every move, he didn't look like an ordinary person, could it be that he was conveying some information to me or others?
In fact, if I had followed just now, there would have been no result, he just didn't want me to follow him, so he would leave immediately, and if I insisted on following, it was estimated that there would be some unpredictable situations.
I walked around the neighborhood for a while, then took a taxi back to the police station to have lunch with Team Leader Yang and talked about the case.
Because I really can't find any breakthrough clues at the moment, I have to go back first, and I have to rush back to see Wang Haitang's current situation.
The plane was more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Team Leader Yang personally sent me to the airport, when he parted, he held my hand and said excitedly, "Brother, it is my honor to know you, I didn't expect that there is a person with superpowers like you in the world, and it is so righteous and righteous, which is very rare." ”
I smiled embarrassedly, "What superpowers, I just learned a set of demon subjugation skills from my master, we are all warriors who fight for righteousness and righteousness, but the 'battlefield' is different, and in the same way, knowing you is also a thing I am proud of." ”
Team Leader Yang smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, have a good trip, I will keep an eye on those two places, and contact you as soon as there is a situation." ”
"Okay, good work."
Half an hour later, the plane took off, and I watched the sun gradually set, and I had mixed feelings.
This trip was a futile, I just determined where the demons might reappear, and I don't know if they would kill again.
The only thing I did on this trip was to dispose of the corpses of the innocent infants in the woods.
I closed my eyes and forced myself to calm down, You Lao told me before, you must not be impatient, no matter what kind of adversity you encounter, you must be calm and persistent, the road to exorcism is long and difficult.
It was already past 11 o'clock when I arrived at the rehabilitation hospital, and Zhao Heizi was staying here, looking at his somewhat red eyes, I felt very uncomfortable.
"It's really hard for you, I'm here tonight, you go back and rest!"
Zhao Heizi smiled and shook his head, "No, you go in and see her, she is asleep now, but I don't know if she will wake up if you go in." ”
"Okay." I nodded and gently pushed open the door to the room.
As soon as I walked to the hospital bed, Wang Haitang opened his eyes violently and sat up like a corpse.
"Begonia, I've come to see you, how are you now?" I asked softly.
Wang Haitang's eyes looked straight at somewhere, as if I didn't exist.
I glanced back at Zhao Heizi, Zhao Heizi stepped forward, "Wang Haitang, I'll go out, you can tell your brother what you have!" ”
Zhao Heizi deliberately said this in order to let her let go of the mustard in her heart.
Zhao Heizi came out of the ward, I sat on the hospital bed and gently patted her on the back, but she still didn't respond.
"Begonia, you've been in a coma these days, and yesterday I heard your brother Zhao say that you woke up, so how do you feel now?"
Wang Haitang still didn't answer, just looked at a certain place like this, she would blink and breathe naturally, but she just didn't speak.
"I think you may have some concerns now, or you may be threatened by one side of the other, but please believe that your cousin will be able to protect you." I said seriously with a frown.
She was still indifferent, I don't know if she was deliberately covering up her current state, or if this was the case with her current situation, even if she had woken up, but her soul did not fully belong to her.
I checked it and there was nothing wrong with the formation.
"Begonia, then I won't disturb your rest, if you have a situation, you can call me immediately, I have also arranged a formation here to protect you, if there is an accident, I will sense it immediately, you don't have to be afraid."
She tilted her head to look out the window, still in the same state as before.
I walked out softly and closed the door of the ward.
In the corridor, Zhao Heizi looked at me in surprise, "...... tonight"
"Yes, we all go back to sleep, we don't have to watch her here, I told the nurses, they will pay attention to her condition, we may make her nervous and uneasy to watch here, I guess if there is a secret observation of her 'eyes', we are here, it is not easy for it to take the next step."
Zhao Heizi was shocked, "Then what should it do if it attacks Wang Haitang's team?" ”
"Don't worry, there is no way to break the formation of the ordinary demon I arranged, and it is impossible for a high-level demon to show up in the hospital."
Zhao Heizi frowned, still a little uneasy.
I patted him on the shoulder, "Trust me, it's going to be fine, let's go have some supper, I'm still hungry after getting off the plane for so long!" ”
Zhao Heizi frowned, but left the hospital according to my wishes and went to the night market with me.
I ordered a bunch of skewers, asked for a few bottles of beer, and pulled Zhao Heizi to sit down, at first he was still a little uncomfortable and looked very restrained.
I smiled and opened the beer for him, "We've known each other for so long, and it's the first time I've come out to drink beer, and I really have a feeling of going back to the student days of Dick Si, which is good." ”
After taking a sip of beer, the feeling of returning to my stomach immediately came up, and the past was like smoke, but at this moment these smoke and dust gathered in my mind.
"It's just an opportunity to sit down and talk to you about me."
Zhao Heizi frowned slightly, but I felt that his expression was much more relaxed than before, he raised his beer and took a sip, and listened to me silently.
"Let's talk about what happened to me in the past." I took a sip of my beer and snorted as I spoke.
Zhao Heizi also took a few sips of beer when he listened to me, and his whole body really began to relax.
"So, those demons did carry out their plans in Lingwei City, and it is possible that they will come back again?"
"I've already set up the formation, if they want to come back, it will be a self-throwing net, what I'm worried about is the identity of that weird fish seller, if he has something to do with the demon organization, then why am I so close to him, I can't sense the evil aura on his body."
Zhao Heizi pinched his cheeks, frowned deeply and pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped the table, "By the way, you said that there were a few thumb-thick small fish in the iron basin in front of him at that time, could it be that the fishy smell covered up the evil aura?" ”
My scalp tingled for a while, and I was terrified to think about those seemingly ordinary small fish.
