Chapter Twenty-Seven: Soul Cry

Not long after Dai Shikai took his seat, Ayina also walked out with a normal face. The two didn't mention what happened just now, and her behavior during the meal was no different from usual, so the other people didn't know what had happened before.

After dinner, Dai Shikai and Dominic checked their backpacks, said goodbye to everyone and went to Zhang's house.

The two waited on the side of the road near Zhang's house for a while, and when He Gu's figure gradually appeared in their sight along the path, they respectfully stepped forward and said hello to each other. He Gu was not surprised by Dominic's identity, she raised her eyes and looked at the other party, and nodded politely.

Dominic carefully looked at the old lady in front of him, who was nearly eighty years old, with a gloomy expression and even looked a little scary, and the image of the evil witch of the West immediately appeared in his mind. It's just that people can't look good, although this old lady looks a little scary, but her heart is extremely kind. Therefore, his attitude towards He Gu became more and more respectful.

He Gu knocked on the door of Zhang's house, and soon, the people in the house arrived as scheduled. Zhang Rongze and his wife Chen Qiuju had been waiting at home for a long time, and after taking Aunt He's medicine and pasting yellow charms in Zhang Hua's house, he quickly fell asleep after being confused, feverish, and talking nonsense. Seeing that Aunt He's things worked, the husband and wife firmly believed that only each other could save their children.

"Aunt He...... They are? As soon as Zhang Rongze opened the door, his attention was attracted by Dai Shikai and Dominic. These two people looked at each other, and they didn't dress like countrymen, and they didn't know how they could get together with Aunt He.

"They're here to help, you don't have to ask about anything else." Aunt He's words were more effective than anything else, and the husband and wife were eager to save their son, and after nodding at them, they immediately welcomed the three of them into the house.

He Gu came to the bedside, lifted Zhang Hua's clothes, and narrowed her eyes when she saw the spots on his body. Dai Shikai and Dominic exchanged a look, and the scars on Zhang Hua's body were the same as those of the dead tiger. You don't need to think much to know that Li Minggang should have similar traces on his body.

Could it be that these scars are also some kind of hint?

While the two were thinking, He Gu slowly spoke: "This child's soul has been frightened, and the soul he lost must be called back." Otherwise, his three souls and seven spirits are incomplete, which may affect the exorcism ritual. She didn't expect Zhang Hua's situation to be more serious than she imagined, He Gu looked at Zhang Rongze and his wife, and said solemnly: "If it drags on like this, after tonight, your baby's soul will never be able to call back." If you lose your soul, even if you get it back, you may be a fool in the future......"

"Aunt He, please save him! I'm just such a baby! After Chen Qiuju heard this, her legs weakened and she knelt down directly for the other party.

The old goddess stepped forward to satisfy her, and then said, "Go and prepare a raw egg, and the clothes that the baby wore on the night of her soul." In addition to this, a paper lantern is required. ”

"Good...... Okay, I'll go. Chen Qiuju is a sensible woman, and as soon as she heard what the other party said, she immediately wiped away her tears and prepared these things.

He Gu looked at Zhang Rongze and said to him: "After a while, you take the baby's clothes and eggs, and go around the vicinity of Li's house in the west of the village a few times." That's where he lost his soul, and as you walked, you called the baby's name and told him to go home with you. ”

When Zhang Rongze heard the "Li family in the west of the village", his face turned pale suddenly. He looked at Aunt He with some weakness: "You...... You know it all? ”

He Gu sighed, shook her head and said, "I was also negligent that night, I didn't expect these two babies to hide nearby and commit taboos." Now that one is dead, I have to save this baby. ”

Zhang Rongze can't care about anything else, as long as he can save his son now, no matter what he is asked to do, he is willing.

He Gu explained some taboos to him again, and then said to Dai Shikai and the others: "It stands to reason that the matter of shouting souls can only let the child and his father go alone." However, this kid is a ruthless character, and I'm afraid that the child's father will have an accident on the road alone, so ......"

"Understood, I'll protect him." Dai Shikai opened his mouth before Dominic.

Dominic also wanted to go, but considering that He Gu might encounter other situations here, for insurance reasons, he still had to leave someone in charge. Therefore, they discussed, Dai Shikai accompanied Zhang Rongze to call the soul, and Dominic stayed to observe the situation.

According to Aunt He's request, Chen Qiuju prepared Zhang Hua's clothes and a fresh egg and handed them to her husband. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and when Aunt He saw that the time was about the same, she told her carefully, and watched Zhang Rongze and Dai Shikai leave the door.

"Brother Dai, it's really troublesome for you, and you still accompany me out for a run so late." Zhang Rongze and the two rushed to the night road and chatted casually.

"It's okay, it's a gesture." Dai Shikai politely said a few words, and then began to talk from the other party's mouth, asking the Zhang family and the Wang family clearly.

Zhang Zerong has also been worried about it for a long time in the past few days, and He Gu and others have already understood the truth behind this, and the other party is a stranger, so he also unreservedly told his inner troubles and what happened.

At this point, Dai Shikai finally sorted out the ins and outs of the matter: the ancestor of the Jiang family formed a bond with this powerful ghost many years ago, and the descendants were cursed and died one after another. And the Li couple adopted the widowed son of the Jiang family and renamed him Li Minggang. But even so, the curse of the terrible ghost still came as scheduled.

Li Chuan, who was eager to save his son, asked Aunt He for help, but who knew that on the night of the exorcism ceremony, Zhang Hua and Wang Hu, who happened to come to the door, looked at him squarely.

Wang Hu saw the true body of the ghost and was killed; And the eyewitness Zhang Hua has also become a new target for the ghosts. What happened to the Wang family and the Zhang family was purely their bad luck, and it had nothing to do with the background of the ghost itself.

After killing Zhang Hua, the ghost will continue to return to the Li family to ask for his life. Of course, this does not mean that they are safe from the incident, and the attack on Chu Shuguang in the morning is enough to illustrate the problem: everyone intervened in this incident because of the mission, and they also became the target of the slaughter of the ghosts.

The mandate stipulates that they only need to live in Dongping Village for three days, and there are no other hard and fast rules. Of course, Dai Shikai does not think that actively intervening in the incident is their own death, even if they just stay in the village and do nothing, the space will have countless means to introduce them into this incident.

After all, it was the eighth mission, so how could they easily experience the three-day farmhouse?

His brain was rapidly filtering information, and two suspicious points caught his attention:

First, why was only Wang Hu killed that night, but Zhang Hua was spared?

With the ability of the ghost, it is not difficult to kill two children. Zhang Hua was able to go home alive and survive until now, was it a hint deliberately left for them by the space, or was it that from the beginning, there were some restrictions on the ability of the ghost itself?

Second, I saw Wang Hu's ghost at the door of Li's house this morning, what is the significance of the direction that the ghost is pointing to?

Dai Shikai thought all the way, and he had listened absentmindedly to what Zhang Rongze said later, but he just responded to a few words from time to time. Unconsciously, the two came to the vicinity of Li's house.

"Let's get started." He glanced at Zhang Rongze, then pointed to the low wall not far away and said, "You start shouting along the path back to your house from that side, and I will lead the way at the front." Remember what Aunt He said: From now until you go home, eggs can't be broken. No matter what you hear or see, don't look back and just head home. ”

"Understood." Zhang Rongze stared at the abandoned thatched hut, and for some reason, his heartbeat also accelerated.
