Chapter 68: The Stygian Coin (2)
What the hell is going on? I also clearly remember that Mr. Zhou obviously gave a renminbi tonight, and he also said it himself: "This time it is a real renminbi." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
At the meeting this afternoon, Mr. Zhou also gave the money to the game, and the four poker players turned their faces and left the venue.
A cool air poured in from my pants and down my pant legs to my back.
Dr. Yin was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, then suddenly grabbed me and ran, leaving only the owner of the commissary behind him to complain: "Hey, do you want bread?" What are you doing, neurosis! β
Dr. Yin got on his bicycle and took me to start riding back.
I sat on the back of my bicycle and timidly asked, "Uncle Yin, what the hell is going on?" β
Doctor Yin said: "Chen Bo, this matter may not be so simple, you don't have to worry about it." When you go to replenish qi for what anti-cancer charm next month, come to me directly, don't go to Lao Zhou again, do you hear? β
I didn't speak, just nodded.
Night Breeze Xixi, after experiencing the scene just now, just felt that the cool breeze of the night was accompanied by a yin air.
Dr. Yin probably thought I would be scared, so he took the initiative to start chatting with me to break this slightly terrifying atmosphere.
"It's half past ten, I'm afraid this is the first time you've come home so late, right? What do you plan to say when you get home? β
To be honest, I really can't make up this lie. Originally, the note left for the family said that he was looking for a classmate to study his homework together, but who was this classmate? Where to stay? I'm afraid I don't even know about it.
I couldn't say anything, and Dr. Yin said, "Don't worry, I've explained everything to my daughter-in-law." I guess your parents won't come back, for sure
They will come out to look for you, and if nothing else, they will look for Lao Zhou first, and then come to my house to look for you. I told my daughter-in-law that if the parents of the children came to look for the children, they would tell them that they had never seen you coming, and then, I will personally send you back to your house now, and you told your father that you came out of the classmate and met a ghost, and then I came back from the emergency room, so I sent you back. β
To be honest, I thought the reason given by Dr. Yin was really lame at the time, but later I realized that there was actually a purpose in it.
When we returned to XX Mall, which is the location of the first soil of Shimen City, there were very few people in the square. Who would have thought that in front of such a modern mall stood a rather ancient temple of the underworld?
I couldn't help but turn my head in the direction of the square, trying to find traces of the temple, imagining one ghost after another floating out of it.
Doctor Yin seemed to notice my movements and comprehend my thoughts, so he said to me: "Chen Bo, I have roughly estimated that the time for you to open your eyes tonight is at least one hour, which is really amazing!" If you are really willing to study hard, I believe that your progress will be very fast! It's so late now, anyway, no
After a while, go to my house first, and I'll give you a book, and you can take it home and take a good look at it in your spare time. As for your Uncle Zhou, it's indeed a bit strange, don't go to him for the time being during this time, and wait for things to be clarified. β
We came to the community where Dr. Yin lived, and Dr. Yin jumped out of the car and pushed forward. At this moment, I heard whispers in the darkness ahead, and I could see that there were sparks shining and disappearing, as if someone was smoking, and there was more than one person.
Dr. Yin motioned for me not to speak, and we walked over quietly, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Old Yin! β
This voice was very familiar, and when I walked over and looked at it through the faint light of the moon, there were three people, all of whom were acquaintances, it was the group led by Mr. Zhou in the soul-attracting operation tonight, and it was the middle-aged man who was sitting next to Dr. Yin at the meeting this afternoon.
However, Mr. Zhou is the only one missing.
"Is that you? If you don't go home and roll the quilt with your wife at night, what kind of meeting will you have downstairs in my house? Doctor Yin said to them half-jokingly.
"Lao Yin, something is wrong!" The middle-aged man said eagerly, "Lao Zhou is missing!" β
When Dr. Yin heard this, he hurriedly locked up the bicycle and then joined the chat team of the three of them. So, the middle-aged man told the story as it was. The group they walked to the west, under the leadership of Mr. Zhou, although they also shuttled through various remote paths, but it was quite smooth, but just when they were about to reach Ertu, Mr. Zhou rode a bicycle in front, turned a corner and disappeared.
"Gone? Why can't you see it? Dr. Yin asked.
"A few of us also followed closely, but we couldn't find Lao Zhou. The difference is less than a minute. The middle-aged man said.
Another added: "We searched everywhere, but we couldn't find anyone, and we even wondered if he had fallen into the sewer, but all the sewer manhole covers on that road were tightly covered, and it was impossible." β
Dr. Yin was silent.
The middle-aged man asked, "Old Yin, my attitude surprised me. I think you're going to have to say we're talking nonsense after we've told you about it, but you don't seem to be ... β
Dr. Yin interrupted him with his mouth: "Where's the bicycle?" Lao Zhouren is missing, won't his bicycle also be missing? β
The middle-aged man said: "This is the strangest part, the bicycle can't be found, it's gone with people." After we sent the group of ghosts to Ertu, we immediately rushed back, trying to go to the place where he lived to see if he had gone back first, but when we got to the place, we saw that his little shop was tightly locked, and no one went back at all. β
Dr. Yin was silent again, and although I couldn't make out his expression in the dark, I think he must be frowning tightly now. After being silent for a long time, Dr. Yin suddenly spoke: "Which of you has a flashlight?" I have something to show you. β
The middle-aged man took a small flashlight out of his trouser pocket and turned it on.
Doctor Yin took out his wallet, took out the remnants of the dark coin he found when he bought bread just now, put it in the light of a flashlight, and said, "This is the fifty yuan that Lao Zhou gave me when we met tonight." What about yours? β
The remaining half of the burned coins looked extremely strange in the dim light, and the other three people suddenly thought of something, and they all took out their wallets, and then searched inside.
Two people took out a handful of burned black ash from their wallets! There is only one person who does not!
"Xiao Wu, don't you have it in your wallet? Dig it out. Dr. Yin asked.
One of them, surnamed Wu, said: "Yes... Yes no, but ... β
The middle-aged man shouted: "I remember, Xiao Wu'er is the last one to arrive tonight!" β
The surnamed Wu said: "I was the last one to arrive tonight, and at that time Lao Zhou said that he didn't expect so many people to come, the money had been distributed, and he said that he would make up for it for me at the next meeting." β
Doctor Yin said: "In other words, among our people, you are the only one who has not gotten Lao Zhou's money, and only you have no black ash in your wallet!" β
All four were silent.
