Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Raging Anger Burns Me
I picked up another down jacket from the garbage heap, and Master asked me, "This time it can't be wrong."
I patted my chest and promised: "Liu Zizi wore this one on the day he died, and it won't be wrong."
The master lit a fire and burned the down jacket, still dancing while rattling the bell and reciting the mantra. As soon as one of the sleeves of the garment was burned, the flames turned blue. At the same time, the wind at the crossroads suddenly stopped, and the blue flames crept up to the clothes step by step.
Master shouted "yes" from his mouth! Liu Zi's clothes tilted in a certain direction at an unnatural angle as if they had been pulled up by someone.
Master waved his hand, and we walked forward in the direction indicated by our clothes. Strange to say, the cold wind was howling on the street, but there was not even a trace of wind near the clothes.
After walking for about five minutes, the flames on the clothes suddenly exploded with a "bang", the flames turned from blue to red, and the fire "crackled" and burned, swallowing the down jacket at once.
Master shouted, "I'll rely on" and hurriedly let go. I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Master was shocked and said, "I was bitten by this dress." I ran over to take a look, and sure enough, I saw a red mark on his tiger's mouth. I was amazed and asked, "Clothes can still bite?"
Before I could finish speaking, I saw that the clothes that had fallen on the ground actually got up from the ground. He shook his fur like a dog, and the spark fell to the ground with a "crackle".
Master shouted, "Not good! Grab it! But the garment dragged away like a lit dog, dragging the raging flames away.
Our master and apprentice chased after us, but the suit ran so fast that we couldn't catch up with it even with full horsepower. In desperation, the master stretched out his hand to the back of his neck and shouted "go", and the little flower rushed out like a white lightning bolt.
Xiaohua ran with wind on the soles of her feet, and soon stopped her clothes. Xiaohua crouched in the middle of the road, two jewel-like eyes staring at the burning clothes opposite.
However, the two "front hooves" of the clothes squatted, and they actually screamed "Wang".
Xiaohua exploded all of a sudden, and fled away with a roar. The clothes ran forward for about twenty meters, lying motionless in the middle of the road like a dead dog.
Master and I panted and went up to see that our clothes were burned to a small amount of ashes. Xiaohua jumped onto Master's arm and rubbed her head against Master's arm and meowed.
The master sighed helplessly and said to it, "Forget it."
While panting, I said to Master, "It's okay, there are many more items in the garbage heap, I'll go get another one."
The master looked up suddenly: "Oops, turn the tiger away from the mountain!" Take me to the garbage dump! ”
In this way, I didn't even catch my breath and ran again. The garbage was piled up on the east side of the village, and the dress just now seemed to be deliberate, and it ran westward with all its might.
When we rushed back, we found that the entire garbage heap had been set on fire.
I gritted my teeth and yelled, "Fuck."
Master said, "There's no need to be so discouraged, it's not like we haven't received any goods at all. Why was the man so eager to make a move? It can only show that the direction of our investigation is correct. I have a hunch that as long as we can find Liu Zi's soul, we will definitely have a harvest. ”
I nodded, and Master continued, "At the beginning, Liu Zi's clothes kept pulling us this way, which means that he must be on the east side of the village. If you think about it, are there any suspicious people living around here? ”
I wrinkled my brow and pondered, but I didn't even have a clue. I grew up in the village, and I know where there is a hornet's nest in the village. But I never felt that anyone was badass.
When Master saw that I couldn't figure out the direction, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it." Let's go to Liu's house first and see if there are any clothes from Liu Zi at home. ”
To be honest, I don't think this approach is very feasible. It is our habit that when a person dies like a lamp goes out, after he is buried, his family will throw away all his clothes. And......
"Master, let's go again tomorrow, it's the middle of the night, and there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door."
Master shook his head: "Go now." What we can think of, that person will definitely think of. By tomorrow, he'll probably be the first to do it again. But at this point, it's really not appropriate for the two of us to go, so let's ...... Let your mom go. ”
I went home and woke up my mom and told her what had happened, and although she was embarrassed, she didn't object.
It's just that when my mother arrived at Liu's house, she found that his house had already become a mess. After inquiring for a few sentences, I found out that Xu Xiangniu slept until midnight and was woken up by a smell of smoke, and when she opened her eyes, she found that her wardrobe was on fire. His wardrobe was nailed with plywood, stuffed with either clothes or bedding, and a spark was on it, and it didn't even take twenty minutes, and there was only a pile of ash left.
Xu Xiangniu hugged her feet and neck and cried until she was unlucky, and her neighbor asked her, "How can it catch fire?"
Naturally, she couldn't tell. Let's say carelessly, in the middle of the night, there is not even a light, not even a fire. If you want to say that it is arson, the doors and windows are locked well, and there is not even a trace of prying. Fortunately, their bed was far away and no one was hurt.
My mother came home and told us what had happened, and Master and I couldn't help but look at each other.
My mother said, "Is there anything important in Liu Zi's clothes?" You want, and someone else wants to burn? ”
I said to my mother, "Don't ask so much about our master's affairs." Go back to sleep, or you'll have wrinkles on your face. ”
My mom laughed and scolded me, yawned and went back to sleep.
I asked Master, "What should I do now?"
Master's mood was also a little heavy: "Let's sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, Liu Tang came to my house and knocked on the door. I was busy for half the night last night, and I was woken up by this grandson after a good night's sleep, and I was naturally resentful.
"What's the hell you're calling early in the morning?"
Liu Tang stammered, "What about Master Liu?" Quick, come, general's grave...... Something went wrong. ”
When I heard this, I was scared. I put on my clothes haphazardly, and then woke up my master, and Liu Tang led us to the general's grave.
The robbery hole in the general's grave has been sealed, and last night the grave collapsed a lot of deep ground. The master was let to the front by the onlookers, and Liu Tang said, "Someone passed by here in the morning and heard the roar of the boss coming from the tomb. Like a wolf howling. ”
The master looked around at a high point and asked the villagers, "Is the area where the wheat is dead ever expanded?"
Liu Tang said, "No."
Master said, "That's right. ”
