Zhang Siyang sat down cross-legged on the grass futon and began to chant. Most of the villagers still had the patience to continue to watch the excitement, and a few people chattered for a long time and left.

Li Wuyuan watched Fan Xiaoer drift close to the Yin and Yang Altar, and said to Xu Ran:

"Reunion? He has done so many evils, he has entered the six reincarnations on the Huangquan Road, it is not certain whether he will be a man or a pig in the next life, you really don't make drafts when you lie to other children. ”

Xu Ran didn't deny it: "It's because he's a child that I can only say that, and I won't believe it if I change adults, as for the punishment...... Anyway, the heavens are fatal, and I can't help it. ”

Li Wuyuan paused for a moment and looked at him meaningfully: "I really didn't expect that you would one day believe in the destiny of heaven." ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Ran looked puzzled.

Li Wuyuan pulled the hat on his head, and his tone was absent-minded: "It's nothing." ”

Xu Ran looked at her with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

People survived the hottest part of the day, around 4 p.m., when the service was almost over. The idle villagers walked away and scattered, and did not have much sense of relief, as if they were just making a scene, after all, they did not see any great use for this ritual in a short period of time, but a few people also took a few fruits and unburned incense candles when they left.

The Fan family estimated that the sad things came to their hearts again, and they also went away with the crowd, and in the end, only Fan Xiaoer's sister-in-law Zhu Fang stayed, watching Zhang Siyang close the stall from a distance, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.

Zhang Siyang was used to traveling all over the world when he was young, so he naturally understood that the woman must have something to ask him for.

But he was arrogant, refused to take the initiative to speak, and after collecting things, he lifted his trouser belt and pretended to leave.

"Master......" Zhu Fang really opened his mouth to call him.

Zhang Siyang was very satisfied with this kind of honorific title, and turned his head to look at her with his hands behind his back: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhu Fang is a pregnant woman, her belly is already extremely big, it is estimated that she is seven or eight months pregnant, she is wearing a loose thin undershirt, and one hand is supporting her big belly.

Zhu Fang walked towards him, with a bit of dodging between his words and expressions.

"That...... Are you available? I'd like to come to your house and talk to you about something......"

"Go to my house?"

Zhang Siyang really didn't expect this married woman to make such a request, although the times are advancing, but this is Liudao Village, and the folk customs in the village are not good enough to be civilized.

He said, "No, if something happens to you, shouldn't you invite me to your house to sit down?" Why do you want to visit my house? ”

Zhang Siyang is known for being picky and straight, and Zhu Fang doesn't mind, so he lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I'...... I'm not very convenient......"

Zhang Siyang touched the dry cigarette roll in his pocket, and said unashamedly: "It's not convenient for me, Lao Tzu is a disciple of Maoshan and is dedicated to the Tao, how can I meet you alone with a woman's family." ”

The embarrassment on Zhu Fang's face deepened, and there was pleading in her eyes.

"Well, let me ask you first, did you run into something unclean?" Zhang Siyang stared at her.

Zhu Fang confirmed that there was no one behind him, and then nodded nervously: "Yes......"

"Hiss......" Zhang Siyang took a puff of cigarette and spit out a white mist. What's so inconvenient about that? You can either say it now, or if it's really inconvenient......"

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced in the direction of Xu Ran and Li Wuyuan, with an elusive expression.

"Then find the police, and go to the reception next to the school."

Qi Lei originally wanted to go back to the Ministry of Public Security to make a record first, but the Wu team said that since you sang such a law-breaking thing of sacrificing to the heavens and sending ghosts, then stay and observe for a few days, if the situation still does not improve, don't go back and be embarrassed.

After Xu Ran listened to Qi Lei's words, he chuckled: "Does he want us to think about it here?" ”

In the evening, the three of them enjoyed the cool in the courtyard, and a stack of raw melon seeds was placed on the vacated small wooden bench, which was the warmth sent by the nearby villagers.

Li Wuyuan ate one, turned his head and vomited: "I've finished eating my chocolate bar." ”

Qi Lei glanced at her worriedly and said, "Or...... I'll go back and bring some for you? ”

"Don't bother."

Xu Ran finished speaking lightly, then took a melon seed from the plate and peeled it off, and handed it to Li Wuyuan, "Who is stupid to blame, can you taste this again?" ”

Li Wuyuan scratched him, took the melon seed kernel and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and smacked his lips: "It's normal, let's have another one." ”

Xu Ran threw the melon seed shell pinched in his hand on her head, "Peel it yourself!" ”

Qi Lei looked at this and that, and suddenly felt that his existence was a little redundant.

He was thinking about how to leave the scene unobtrusively, when the man guarding the door brought in two people.

A man and a woman are Zhang Siyang and Zhu Fang.

"Yo, isn't this Lao Zhang? What is the wind that is blowing your old man's house? ”

Xu Ran pushed his glasses, his mouth was very polite, but he moved his ass sitting on the stool.

Li Wuyuan saw that Zhang Siyang was a white eye, lifted the hat on the back of his neck, covered his eyes, and begged to be out of sight.

Zhang Siyang held his hands behind his back and glanced at him.

Qi Lei went into the house and moved two stools out and asked them to sit down.

"I'm not full, I'm the one who has something." Zhang Siyang sat down and crossed Erlang's legs, took out his cigarette stick, and pointed to the woman next to him.

"This is Fan Xiaoer's sister-in-law, Fan Zuolin's wife, her name is Zhu Fang."

"The officers are so ......" Zhu Fang smiled a little crampedly, and nodded lightly at the three of them.

"You're welcome, please be seated." Xu Ran saw that she had a big belly, and stretched out his hand to signal her to sit down and talk.

"Thank you, thank you."

Zhu Fang sat down as she said, her docile eyebrows and eyes made people think that she should be a gentle and simple peasant woman.

Li Wuyuan secretly looked at her from under his hat.

Xu Ran casually peeled the melon seeds and asked, "Do you have anything wrong?" ”

Zhu Fang twisted her fingers and secretly glanced at Zhang Siyang, as if seeking his hint.

Zhang Siyang held the cigarette stick and said, "What are you doing with me?" If you have anything to do, just say it, why do you keep staring at me like this? ”

When Qi Lei heard this, he rubbed his nose unconsciously, looked at Zhang Siyang with wandering eyes, and then looked at Zhu Fang's stomach.

Zhang Siyang kicked him the stool, although he didn't scold, his eyes were full of warning murder.

Zhu Fang had something on her mind and didn't notice these details, she lowered her head and thought about it for a while before she said: "Officer Qi, although you haven't seen the results of your previous handling of Xiao Er, many people in the village think it's not good, but I think you must have your reasons for doing this......"

Qi Lei didn't know the purpose of her coming, so he had to implement and advocate scientific theories.

"Oh this...... In a few days, the town will send someone to inspect the ladder, and when it is completely confirmed that there are no safety hazards, we will contact the school to hold classes normally, and I am sure the villagers will understand when the time comes. He said with a gimmicky smile.

Zhu Fang's expression became slightly nervous: "No, you ......"

But she didn't seem to be able to say why

"That's not what she's talking about."

Xu Ran's movements on his hand paused, and he glanced at Zhu Fang, "Eldest sister, if I'm not wrong, what you said about dealing with it refers to that ritual event, right?" ”

Zhu Fang looked at him hesitantly for a moment and nodded.

Xu Ran put the melon seed shell in his hand on the stool and sat up straight: "Then you must have come here to encounter strange things about this, right?" ”

Zhu Fang was stunned for a moment, and nodded urgently.

Li Wuyuan lifted her hat, and her face buried in the shadows was finally revealed, she looked at Zhu Fang with some curiosity, but the next moment, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her.

Looking down, there were a lot of white and fat melon seeds lying in the palm of that big hand.

She didn't react for a while, and heard Xu Ran snort impatiently: "Hurry up!" ”

As soon as Li Wuyuan took it, Xu Ran patted the residue of his palm and said to Zhu Fang: "Then you can tell us about the specific situation, these are all your own people, you don't have to worry." ”

Zhang Siyang took a puff of his cigarette and disdainful: "Who is with your own people." ”

Xu Ran smiled, and Zhu Fang couldn't help but relax a little when he saw him smile.

"That's right," Zhu Fang finally hesitated after a while, "I've been having strange nightmares lately......

Qi Lei: "Since it's a nightmare, how can it not be strange?" ”

"She's talking 'one.'" Xu Ran said.

Qi Lei looked at him in surprise, and then looked at Zhu Fang: "One?" The same? ”

"Yes...... It's been more than a month, and I've had the same weird dream every night. Zhu Fang's voice lowered, blending into the night, trembling slightly.

Li Wuyuan chewed the melon seeds carefully and interjected: "What dream?" ”

Zhu Fang looked at her with some uneasiness, and lowered her eyes again.

Qi Lei soothed: "It's okay, let's talk slowly." ”

After waiting for a while, Zhu Fang made up her mind, as if she wanted to talk about the knot she had never wanted to talk about in her life.

She touched her stomach and said, "In the beginning, every night, I would feel that the child in my stomach was kicking me, and I often woke up in the middle of the night, and then I saw a person standing next to the bed......"

The evening breeze rushed in with a roar, and fled into the endless night.

Qi Lei swallowed silently and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"A pregnant woman......" Zhu Fang's eyes were a little frightened, and the words she said seemed to not even believe herself, "covered in blood, her hair is very long, and she can't see her face clearly." I screamed in fright and woke up to find out it was a dream...... However, how can there be such a real dream, it is too scary......"

"So you mean to say that from the moment you wake up in the middle of the night when you notice the fetal movement, it's all dreams?" Xu Ran asked.

Zhu Fang's face was like earth, and he said with palpitations: "Yes...... So I couldn't tell when I was dreaming and when I was real......"

Qi Lei secretly shrunk his neck and moved the stool to Xu Ran's side.

"And ......"

After a pause, Zhu Fang slowly spoke again:

"At first, I could only see her shadow, but then I realized that as the dream became more and more repeated, her appearance became clearer and clearer...... Now, I feel like I'm about to see her face. ”
