"Why?" I can't help but wonder.

Although the location is a bit out of the way, and there is a bamboo forest wrapped in it, it is a bit exaggerated to say that few people can find it, right?

The boss smiled and said: "Why else, there are terraced fields over there, and the state also intends to protect them, and they don't lead people to that side, the more they go to our side, there are fewer and fewer things to play and see, so there are not many people going over there, and there are bamboo forests on the mountain, and you can't see it." ”

That makes sense.

"Why did that family run there to live?" Figuring out what's going on, I'm back to the question I had at the beginning.

I thought that living alone outside the village was nothing more than a reason for being withdrawn, unsociable, or that outsiders could not integrate into the village, but this was not the case.

The boss said, there is nothing strange, there is only one lady in that house now, and it turns out that there is not only one in that place, but several, after the village is planned to be a tourist attraction, they all move over and make it look like a terraced field. The old lady has lived there for decades, and she is used to it, and the old people like to be quiet, so they didn't move here, and the state didn't force it, and they also specially connected water and electricity for her, the kind buried in the ground.

I see, if someone hadn't told me, no one would have been able to see that there were still several families over there.

But this is not the point, pretending to know, said that there was only one old queen mother, I asked again, then the old lady has no family?

The boss replied, no, the old lady's husband died early, there were originally two sons, the eldest died in Vietnam in the war in the eighth year, he was very young at that time, and the younger one had committed a crime in the early years and hid outside for many years.

"Then there is still a family, if you don't come back, it doesn't mean that you don't." Uncle the driver, who had already done several bowls next to him, said.

The boss smiled and said, "That's the case, but once you leave, you won't come back, and it's no different from nothing." Besides, the old lady's youngest son, some people say that he has been arrested and shot, some say no, and they don't know which one is true, in short, he has never been seen back for so many years, and it makes no difference whether he dies or not. ”

Others don't feel anything when they hear this, but I was stunned when I heard it, and a thought suddenly popped into my mind.

The old woman is at least eighty years old, and Luo Wenxin is nearly sixty, judging from her age, she can match it.

So after hesitating for a while, I asked the old lady what her name was.

The boss replied with a smile, surnamed Long, in our Xiyuan Village, there are only three surnames: Yang, Long, and Tian.

I smiled and didn't ask anything more.

Although the surname can't be matched, it's not impossible, after all, the surname can be changed at will.

Since it is a casual conversation at the wine table, it is not appropriate to ask more deeply, otherwise there is a risk of arousing the suspicion of the boss.

We only met him in Pingshui, but the relationship between him and the old woman, we don't know at all, even if it is far away, it is at least a neighbor who has dealings, once he is suspicious, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not talk to the old woman.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, although it may seem that even if the old woman knows that I am spying on her, she may not be able to do anything to me.

After we had eaten and drunk, we checked out and left.

The boss is really a cool person, and we chatted with each other, so he waved his hand, and even the food money was waived, and it was not bad to say that it was good, so he should make us a friend.

In the end, at my strong request, the boss made a five-fold discount, reluctantly accepted the money, and said when he sent it out: "Forget it this time, next time you want to play again, it is a friend, I can't refuse to have a treat, contact me when you come, I can help you get free tickets." ”

After thanking us, we headed down the village.

The driver, Uncle Liu, also drank alcohol, and the car naturally couldn't be driven anymore, so Zhang Xiaowei drove back to the city and helped him drive to the shift point, and then went back to his home in a leisurely manner.

Zhang Xiaowei and I didn't go back, but went to Sister Yun's house to sit for a while, and after the wine went down a little, we went to He Shuman's community not far away.

Although it seems that the Seven Evil Spirits and the ghost keeper behind them have been found, before the problem is completely solved, He Shuman still can't leave people this night, and even has to guard more strictly, and can't give any more opportunities.

After all, no one can say well, whether Luo Wenxin or the old woman will simply come hard and attack He Shuman directly because we found out.

Seeing that I was full of alcohol, Yuan Jinzhu, who originally thought that I had crossed this hurdle, couldn't help but feel a little worried in his eyes, and it wasn't until Zhang Xiaowei said the reason why I was drinking that he put his mind at ease.

Originally, I was going to meet He Shumann today, but since I drank wine, it was not very appropriate to go upstairs with a drunken body, so after talking in the community, Zhang Xiaowei and I went home.

followed us back, and the wild ghost who came back with He Shumann in the early morning of that day, and never left again.

After entering the courtyard, Qian Bajin came out, called out to me, and looked at Zhang Xiaowei with a smile, his expression was a little restrained, as if he was not very comfortable.

This is a very normal thing, the courtyard hall is enshrined in the portrait of the ancestor of the mountain, and the back hall is also enshrined in the head of the past dynasties, and some utensils inherited from the painting spirit, most of which have the power to suppress evil, and the money eight catties will naturally be affected.

After he gradually got used to it, I asked him, "I remember you said that the person who threw paper people near your mansion at the beginning smelled very special, if you see this person again, will you still recognize him?" ”

Qian Bajin thought for a while and said, "Yes." Master, I won't forget that person, as long as I get close to him within ten or twenty meters, I can recognize him. ”

Now that he can recognize it, things are much simpler, and when it is necessary, as long as he brings the eight catties of money to Luo Wenxin, he can know whether he is the one who wanted to kill the fool in the first place.

Actually, I really want to confirm it now, but this is a bit risky, and I can't act rashly before finding out whether the old woman has told Luo Wenxin about the discovery of us.

In case he already knows, and I doubt him extremely much now, doing so would be tantamount to a showdown.

Now that we don't have the exact evidence, we can't easily tear our faces.

So after thinking about it for a while, I talked to Qian Bajin again, and asked him to unite the ghosts of the climate near the provincial capital to help me pay attention to the whereabouts of the Seven Evil Spirits.

Luo Wenxin can't touch it now, and the weird old woman in Xiyuan Village hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet, so she can only start from somewhere else.

Letting Qian Bajin organize an intelligence network is undoubtedly the best way at present, once the Seven Evil Spirits appear again, as long as they know it in time, they can start directly.

But I didn't expect that such an arrangement would directly harm Qian Bajin......
