I took the note given by Mrs. Bai and read it several times, but I couldn't understand a single word, I don't know if her strokes were scribbled or not Chinese characters at all, it was full of lines that resembled earthworms.

I was puzzled and embarrassed to ask, so I had to carefully put away the note with depression. The old lady told me that after arriving in Dandong, on the street opposite the Yalu River, find a food stall facing the street, the owner is called Bai Dewang, he will help you when he sees the note.

I promised, I don't trust her much, is this thing reliable? But after all, this small note two fingers wide was exchanged by Big Brother Hei for wild old ginseng, no matter what, the money has to be spent.

The old white lady wore her clothes and gave an eviction order, and the two of you will not be kept.

Hei Dazhuang gave me a look, and as soon as we stepped out of the door, the old lady said behind him: "The surname is Hei, I will only give you three days." If the old ginseng you promised within three days is not delivered, we will talk back then. ”

Hei Dazhuang's footsteps stopped for a moment, and he didn't look back, but his two hands hugged his fists in mid-air, and we went out of this courtyard together.

When he returned to the car, Hei Dazhuang seemed to be angry, his whole body was paralyzed, his hands were trembling, he was touching his cigarette, and the cigarette box had fallen off. I quickly picked it up, "Big Brother Hei, what kind of person is this old lady, she has a lot of aura." ”

"Does Jilin Ghost Hall know?" Hei Dazhuang asked.

I was surprised: "You know, I guess I've dealt with it." "I remembered that when I was looking for the Eight Immortal Caves, I once encountered Aunt Mei and the Xiangtong Fighting Method of the Ghost Hall, and the danger of the situation at that time was so treacherous, I was very shocked at that time.

Hei Dazhuang said: "Jilin Ghost Hall has branches in important cities in the three northeastern provinces, and the old white lady we just saw used to be the owner of the Dandong branch, and her nickname is White Lotus Lady." You look at this old lady inconspicuously, and when you were young, there were at least a dozen lives under your hands. ”

I gasped, and the cold sweat came down, no wonder I felt that this person was very yin, and there was an indescribable aura, so awesome.

Hei Dazhuang was leisurely fascinated, "At that time, there were three women in the ghost hall who resounded in the northeast, and everyone made up a sentence for them, called Qingxiang Bailiansu is true." Among them, the 'White Lotus' is this old white lady, the White Lotus lady. ”

How is this poem so familiar? I remembered that I, Xie Ling, Xiong Dahai, and Blind Li had gone to find a toad spirit who was practicing in retreat, and read this poem on the wall of the cave where it was hiding. I still remember that the original poem should be two sentences, the vulgar fairy talks about no desire, and the fragrance of white lotus is true.

It shouldn't be a coincidence that this poem appears in the cave of the toad spirit, could it be that the little girl in red possessed by the toad spirit has some relationship with the ghost hall, maybe she is one of the three women?

I thought a lot for a while, but Hei Dazhuang sighed to himself: "Who would have thought that the former man of the year would have become a little old lady at home now." ”

"And I was taught such an impolite lesson by my daughter-in-law, and I didn't dare to talk back." I say.

Hei Dazhuang said: "When I used to be in prison, I met a fragrant boy in the ghost hall in prison, and after I came out, after his introduction, I got acquainted with the White Lotus Lady. At that time, her child was sick, and it is said that she was injured by the enemy when she was pregnant, and she had fetal gas, and since then the White Lotus Lady has returned to the rivers and lakes. ”

I thought of the old white lady's son, who was sickly and coughing.

The White Lotus lady can imagine her demeanor when she was young, such a high-spirited woman, she still can't pass the mother and son level, she falls into Si, and the dog scolded by her daughter-in-law is bloody, and she doesn't dare to make a sound, it's really embarrassing for her.

Hei Dazhuang looked at his watch, "Seeing that the sky is dawning, don't go to the hotel to open a room, I'll send you to the train station, you sleep in the car, and go to Dandong tomorrow morning." ”

I say yes, and I'm very grateful.

Hei Dazhuang told me to sleep for a while, and he drove into the night.

I was so tired that I couldn't wake up when I closed my eyes, I was sleeping soundly and was pushed up by Hei Dazhuang, looking at my watch at five o'clock in the morning, I said goodbye to him, entered the train station and waited for the train, and set off for Dandong.

On the train I fell asleep again and arrived at Dandong Station before I knew it.

Dandong is my second visit. The first time was Mr. Liang's matter, it was in Min'an County, near Dandong, and I had never been to Dandong City, but now I finally have the opportunity to see the Yalu River.

I found a hotel on the edge of the Yalu River, opened a room first, and had a good rest. In the afternoon, we will go out and go to Yalu River Park to see the scenery. I walked back and forth in the park a few times, saw the famous broken bridge, got on a yacht and walked around the river a few times, looked at North Korea on the other side, the black land, the barren villages, and stood on the bow of the boat I had a feeling of traveling through time.

The water of the Yalu River is very dark, the river surface here is not wide, and the desolation on the other side of the river makes it easy to feel the vicissitudes of time.

My heart became heavy, and at dinner in the evening, I thought of the address that Mrs. Bai had told me, so I crossed the street, and saw a food stall at the mouth of an alley where almost no one passed. There are many such food stalls in the streets and alleys of Dandong, and the shopkeeper has built a shed on the street, in which tables and stools are placed, and in the middle are all kinds of ingredients, which can be ordered first and eaten at a reasonable price.

When I arrived, there were a few people who looked like office workers eating light meals, and the owner, a girl in her twenties, was busy inside and out. Seeing that I was coming, she came over with a smile: "The guest wants to eat something." As he spoke, he took the recipe and showed it to me.

It is all common people's dishes, and there is occasionally seafood, which is cheap and makes people think that it is not fake. I was also hungry, so I ordered bud rice porridge, a few meat buns, and small pickles.

After a short time, the steaming porridge came up, and I broke my chopsticks and said, "Boss, I'll ask you about someone." ”

The girl giggled: "I'm not the boss lady, I'm the boss lady and her daughter, you say, who are you looking for?" ”

"Let me ask, is Bai Dewang here?"

The girl's eyes widened: "That's my dad, do you know my dad?" ”

"Ah, there's something to look for him." I say.

The girl said, "Well, he'll come over at once, and you eat and wait for him." ”

I said yes and ate it. Not to mention that this small food stall looks simple, the things made are really good, and the taste is very strong, especially this Northeast bud rice porridge, I haven't drunk such an authentic porridge for a long time.

After eating, the girl was busy working alone, and her father had not yet come. I was afraid of getting in the way of other people's business, so I sat in the innermost part of the shed and watched the news on my mobile phone. After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the girl said, "Dad, someone is looking for you." ”

I looked up and saw someone outside. He was tall and thin, in his fifties, and his face was full of vicissitudes and exhaustion, reminding me of the black, muddy Yalu River. He was wearing a very old-looking down jacket, and when he looked at it, he knew that he was a grassroots struggling to survive at the bottom of life.

The man came over, looked at me, and asked cautiously, "Are you looking for something with me?" ”

"Are you Mr. Bai Dewang?" I asked.

The man nodded and said I am.

I took out the paper saffron that Mrs. Bai gave me from my pocket, Bai Dewang's eyes flashed, and the aura on his body seemed to change. He said, "Guest, if you have anything to say, you can go outside with me." ”

I followed him to the outside of the shed and continued to go deeper, and I had to follow. The girl poked out to look at us, her eyes full of wonder, wondering why her father was so mysterious.

We walked to the innermost part of the alley, and there was no street light that was particularly dark, and there was no one. Bai Dewang asked me, who are you?

I gave him the note written by Mrs. Bai.

Bai Dewang took it, looked at it in the dark, he returned the note and paper flowers to me, and asked, "Is Sister-in-law Bailian okay?" ”

I knew that he was asking about the White Lotus Lady, so I hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'm living at home now." ”

"Oh, where's her son?" Bai Dewang asked nonchalantly.

I said, "It's fine, but I'm sick and I look weak." ”

"How much money did you spend on her when you came over this time, and she helped you so much." Bai Dewang leaned against the wall, one foot against his back, and slowly pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. That demeanor definitely doesn't look like a laid-off worker or something, but like a gangster on the beach.

His whole body was hidden in the dark, only the cigarette butt on his mouth was bright and dark.

I chuckled in my heart, and I regretted that I came to him, this person was a fragrant boy from the ghost hall, and he seemed to be very shrewd. Forget it, you can't tell lies in front of real people, I'll tell you what happened when I met Mrs. Bai.

Bai Dewang sneered: "This old lady didn't handle her own family affairs clearly, and she stood up for others." Her time has long passed, and she thought it was before, wanting to let others sell her life with a word? Hehe. Little brother, you came all the way to find it, and you still have the old lady's handwritten ......" Speaking of the word "handwritten message", his tone was contemptuous, "As for me, I can't help but give you face." That's it, I'll help you with your affairs, 100,000 yuan, the money is enough to do things, do you think it's okay? ”

My mouth was full of bitterness, did this person have the ability to read minds, and knew that I had only gotten 100,000 yuan, how could he open his mouth to ask for it so accurately. I haven't covered the money yet, how can I give it to him, besides, I don't trust the people in the ghost hall, so I want to take the money and do nothing?

I was silent for a moment and said, "Senior, I don't have that much money, forget it, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Oh, forget it." Bai Dewang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it with his foot.

We didn't talk a word the whole time, he walked in front and I followed.

We came out of the alley, didn't go far, suddenly in the darkness "chirping" twice, I heard the ears hot, is it a hairball?

At this moment, suddenly something flew out of the darkness, and I couldn't see what it was, but I saw that the eyes of the thing were blood-red, like small light bulbs, and jumped down condescendingly, and rushed straight to Bai Dewang.
