Chapter Seventy-Four: Sister-in-law (Part II)
What are you doing here? "My sister-in-law sat next to me and sat directly on the chair through Wu Peiming.
I stared at Wu Peiming.
Wu Peiming got up helplessly and stood aside.
"How did you end up here?" My sister-in-law also looked left and right, "What are you talking to yourself here just now?" If you are seen, you will think that you are insane! β
I looked at Wu Peiming again, and my sister-in-law also followed the direction of my eyes, looked over, and asked me, "What are you looking at?" β
I'm absolutely sure she can't see Wu Peiming.
Instead of answering any of her questions, I asked her, "Do you know that my brother is missing?" Why can't I reach you? How did you end up here? Still wearing a nurse's clothes, do you work here? β
"Yes, I work here." The sister-in-law readily admitted, "Of course I know that your brother is missing, otherwise I would have had to work hard in the past two years." β
What does this mean?
Sounds like she's been looking for my brother all along?
I was in a hurry to ask, but she didn't answer. I had to tell her why I was here before I could answer my question.
I had no choice but to explain to her the things that accompanied Ding Xiaomo to the water tribe to return the book, as well as the soul contract in Meng Miao's hand. But I didn't tell her that the human skin belonged to my brother, and I didn't want to tell her at all, considering that she might not be able to accept it, and considering that she might have betrayed my brother.
After listening to this, she asked me how I ended up in this nursing home.
I told her about Meng Miaoli and Wu Peili's acquaintance, and simply told her that I was accompanying Wu Peili to see his brother.
"You're here to see Wu Peiming?" She blurted out Wu Peiming's name, and it seemed that she was quite familiar with Wu Peiming.
I nodded.
She also said that she herself came to this sanatorium for Wu Peiming.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately looked at Wu Peiming curiously.
Wu Peiming spread his hands and shook his head again and again to say that he didn't know at all.
My sister-in-law's name is Qin Xuemin, and she is more than two years younger than me, but when my brother brought her to see me for the first time, he forced me to call her sister-in-law, so I have always been used to calling her.
In fact, Qin Xuemin and my brother have been in love for more than two years, and I haven't seen her much in the past two years, so I am not very familiar with her.
But I knew she was a little nurse.
When I met my brother, she had been working as a nurse in a major hospital in Shanghai for several years.
Moreover, she was originally a native of Shanghai, all the relatives in the family were in Shanghai, and her job was so stable, there was no reason for her to go to a small nursing home so far away to work as a nurse.
Could it be that she came here to be a nurse, and it really has something to do with finding her brother?
Qin Xuemin told me that her brother had called her before the accident to tell her that he had burned rhino horns at home and had seen ghosts, and that the two ghosts seemed to be our parents.
I have never heard Ding Xiaomo say this, maybe my brother didn't tell her because she was an outsider in the end.
But I'm my own person, and about my parents, how can he only tell his fiancΓ©e and not tell me about this sister!
I was furious.
Qin Xuemin saw that I was so excited, and hurriedly explained to me: "Your brother is actually not sure, because he can't really see the two ghosts flickering. And what to say to the two ghosts, they were all floating around like this, and they didn't answer a word. So, your brother wanted to investigate it himself before telling you. He's afraid that if it's not, it will make you sad. β
Well, that's really my brother's style.
I can barely accept this reason.
According to Qin Xuemin, my brother went to Henan to investigate his parents.
If I know from an alternate plane, that's true.
At that time, Dad could tell the location of the ancient tomb where Wu Peili took his brother's human skin, and thought that the tomb they went down to should be there.
My brother went to find out where my parents were back then, which makes sense, but how did my brother know about that place?
How did he know about Henan's sitting beacon alone?
Qin Xuemin said that she only knew that her brother said that he was going to check the situation of her parents back then, but her brother didn't even tell her where he went at that time, how could she know how her brother found it.
I was slightly surprised.
Qin Xuemin explained that her brother was afraid of danger and didn't agree with her to go with her, so he didn't even tell her where she went, perhaps because he was afraid that she would secretly follow her.
"So what have you found all these years? Why did you come here? What does this Wu Peiming and my brother have to do with the disappearance? β
Hearing me ask, even Wu Peiming nodded frequently, and came up with great curiosity, wanting to hear it clearly.
Qin Xuemin said that the day after her brother left, she began to fidget and feel restless.
After that, she used her brother's account to check the flight he bought online.
Immediately after, he asked for leave and followed.
After arriving in Henan, she kept calling her brother, but she couldn't get through, and then she reported her disappearance at the local police station.
She had also gone to identify a corpse, but fortunately it was not her brother's.
At the same time that the Henan police had no clues, she received a call from her mother from Shanghai. said that I went to her and asked about Xiangzixiong's disappearance.
At that time, Qin Xuemin knew that the situation was not good.
After a few more days in Henan, and even invited a master to summon spirits, it was useless.
Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly met a master and said that he had the ability to summon spirits, as long as he didn't pass seven or seven.
Qin Xuemin calculated, it has not been forty-nine days since his brother set off to Henan, even if he is really killed, it is impossible to pass seventy-seven. So I gave a lot of money to the master and gambled for the last time.
As a result, she really made the right bet, her brother's soul was really recruited by that master, Qin Xuemin said that she saw it with her own eyes.
I was shocked, I thought it was a little incredible. Because my brother made a soul contract, it is theoretically impossible to be easily summoned.
However, I don't know much about the soul pact, or maybe it may not be.
I asked Qin Xuemin, since I have recruited my brother's soul, why don't you come to my house to report it?
Qin Xuemin: "The soul trick was recruited, but it didn't say a word, it seemed to be completely unconscious, and it appeared and dispersed." The master said that your brother's soul should be scattered. β
That's right, the soul contract is used to gather souls.
When a person dies, the soul will gradually dissipate, it is only a matter of time. There are even some people who, when they die, have already lost their souls on the spot after certain circumstances.
At this point, Qin Xuemin could only leave contact information with the master and go back to Shanghai first.
When she returned to Shanghai, she wanted to come to us. Just from her mother, my grandmother didn't know about my brother's disappearance.
She thought that the old man would suddenly find out that his grandson was missing, and he would definitely die in a hurry, so she wanted to come to report the funeral, so that she could tell her whereabouts.
But now that grandma doesn't know about it, let's drag it out first.
Coincidentally, a few days after returning to Shanghai, Qin Xuemin received a call from that master.
The master told her that he had a senior brother who had taken on a case about leaving the soul, and it was a case of leaving the soul. Therefore, the master guessed that my brother's soul that disappeared may not necessarily be a dead soul, or there is hope for survival.
As soon as Qin Xuemin heard that there was hope, he immediately asked for a long leave from the unit, and then according to the address mentioned by the master, he came to Guizhou to find his senior brother.
At the same time, because of this phone call, Ben hesitated to tell me about her brother's death, and she decided to come to me after she found out whether my brother was alive or dead.
It's just that she didn't expect that her pursuit of her brother would be pursued for so long, and there has not been much progress.
If she hadn't met me here today, she wouldn't know when she would have come to me.
"The senior brother of the master you are talking about, the soul he recruited is Wu Peiming's?"
Qin Xuemin nodded.
I said disdainfully: "But none of the people who summoned Wu Peiming's soul succeeded, I think they are all liars!" β
Qin Xuemin strongly disagreed.
She said that it wasn't that the master who summoned the soul was incompetent, in fact, Wu Peiming only scattered one soul, and it was not difficult to recruit it back at all. But his other souls have not dispersed, and his living souls are still conscious, and he, Wu Peiming, is not happy to come back, and no one has withdrawn.
That's right.
I looked at Wu Peiming, Wu Peiming gave a smile, and then sat down across from us, seeming to be more and more interested in listening to what Qin Xuemin said.
Qin Xuemin sighed deeply and said, "Alas, this master is also a strange temper, he knows this, but he doesn't tell his family. I'll beg him to help me recruit your brother's soul, but he has to ask me to be his apprentice for a year. β
"So, you ran back to Shanghai to resign, and then came here to be his apprentice for a year?"
Qin Xuemin nodded helplessly.
"No wonder I couldn't find you when I went to your unit later, saying that you had resigned. However, it's been more than two years now, why are you still here? Don't go home? Did you just say that you came here to be a nurse because of Wu Peiming? So what exactly does Wu Peiming have to do with my brother's disappearance? β
