"!" Ah Quan complained to Bufan: "That ghost has escaped! ”

"Which one?" Bufan reacted back and shouted, "Old Tao! ”

"Not him? Pretending to be pitiful, I was kind enough to loosen his ties, but as a result, people were holding back their strength to escape! The scheming is too deep, and it can't be prevented! Ah Quan patted his head angrily and scolded hatefully: "Blame me for being soft-hearted!" Ay! Damn it! ”

Extraordinary Qiu'er couldn't help laughing when she looked at Ah Quan with remorse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's not once or twice that you're soft-hearted, it's not bad this time, it's okay, just get him back!" Extraordinary comforted him.

"This ghost ......" Ah Quan said solemnly, "he is not ordinary......"

"How is it not ordinary? Isn't he just a new ghost, what can he do? Bufan said disdainfully.

"He was not an ordinary man when he was alive...... There are a hundred ways to hide from me after death......" Ah Quan was distressed, "Hey, I'll go to him." ”

"What is not an ordinary person? Let's make it clear before we go! Extraordinary shouted.

"I don't know, you go and check, check him well!" Ah Quan disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"I thought this was over" Bufan relayed Ah Quan's words just now to Han Ren, "You let Xiao Zhang check this old Tao, don't be limited to the files left in the Public Security Bureau, and check them deeply." ”

Han Ren nodded, "We can visit the village and see if we can find anything here." ”

"Well, yes, this is where he was born and raised, and no one should know his details better than his parents and fellow villagers." Extraordinary pondered, "What is wrong about him?" ”

"It's time for lunch, go to the small restaurant at the head of the village, and ask the gossipy proprietress about it." Bufan said.

The sky has cleared, the snow has begun to melt, and long icicles hang from the eaves of every house, dripping and dripping in the warmth of the sun. There are more tourists on Plum Blossom Ridge again, and it seems that the zombie turmoil has not caused more panic. People are forgetful, and when it happens, the collective climax, after it happens, no matter how strong the emotions are, they will be dispersed with the wind. Well, isn't it a common human disease to forget the pain of scars?

The business of the restaurant is still very hot, and the three of them finally found a place in the corner to sit down, and the proprietress quickly ran over and greeted with a smile: "The three of you are here again?" What to eat today? Then he looked at Bufan and said, "How is the ghost catcher, master?" Without waiting for Bufan to answer, she continued: "You guy, so young, okay?" It can't be a liar, right? ”

"How can you be a liar, big sister?" Bufan spread his hands and said: "Let's just say that Lao Tao's ghost yesterday was taken away by me, and the zombies before, are you all strange why they suddenly disappeared?" Let me tell you quietly, boss, in fact, I have cured it, otherwise your whole village will not suffer! ”

"Ouch, huh? No wonder it disappeared suddenly, it turned out that you took it from the master, oops, it's amazing! It's so powerful, the lifesaver of our village. The proprietress exclaimed, giving a thumbs up.

"Keep your voice down, I'm a low-key person, I don't like to make noise, by the way, if there is another such thing, remember to find me!"

"Okay, okay! That's amazing, this guy! The proprietress was smiling.

"Boss, what kind of person was Lao Tao when he was alive?" Han Ren really couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly interjected during the gap.

The proprietress thought for a while and said, "This person, mysterious, although we have known each other since childhood, grew up in a village, but he has not been socially along. The boys who love to play are climbing trees, digging birds' eggs, touching fish and catching shrimps, he doesn't seem to be interested, he has no friends, he is alone, and he doesn't know what to think about all day long. The proprietress pouted and said, "I sometimes think people like him are quite scary. ”

"Because of the personality, not all boys love to play and be naughty, they are just introverts." Han Ren said.

"But ......" the proprietress remembered something again, and was about to say that a guest called her loudly, and the proprietress "belch!" Here it is! He promised to go, and didn't forget to turn back to Han Ren and say, "We'll talk when I'm done." ”

"Lao Tao's ghost has escaped, is he going to look for Shen Rao again?" Qiu'er said.

"I guess I don't dare to look for it openly, I finally escaped, and I won't expose myself easily." Bufan said.

"Shen Rao's words are so ruthless, he still doesn't give up, he doesn't leave, and I don't know what he thinks." Han Ren shook his head in confusion.

"Sixteen years of sexless marriage and Shen Rao's cold violence against him, he can survive it, what is it to say a few words of ruthlessness?" Bufan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Han Ren with a smile: "There is something I almost forgot, do you remember what Shen Rao said yesterday?" ”

Han Ren thought about it and said with a smile: "I know which sentence, isn't it just that she said that she doesn't touch Lao Tao, but with other men?" ”

"That's right!" Bufan smiled evilly: "You also ponder this? ”

"I'm not the same as you think" Han Ren glanced at Qiu'er, and said righteously: "What I think is that Xiaodouzi said that the three men who had beaten Shen Rao's idea all died, could the men in Shen Rao's mouth last night be these three?" ”

"It may be, it may not be." Extraordinary muttered ambiguously.

"Could these three dead have something to do with this woman?" Han Ren muttered to himself.

Bufan held his chin, lowered his eyes and said, "If it is not related to this woman, then ......"

"It's related to Lao Tao!" Han Ren and Bufan said at the same time.

After the three of them finished lunch, the proprietress came to look for them after she was busy.

"Come, three, good Longjing, drink tea and drink tea." The hostess greeted her warmly.

"Boss, what do you say?" Han Ren picked up the teacup and asked.

"But...... the proprietress simply moved a stool and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and continued: "This Tao Yanbing, he doesn't like to play with his peers, but likes to run to a strange man's house in the village every day. ”

"Weirdos?"

"Yes, this strange man, he was seventy or eighty years old at the time, I heard that he was a foreigner, I don't know when he came to our village, he was old and dirty, he was begging from house to house in the village for food or something, and no one treated him. But he came to the door to ask for food, and he gave it all. A lonely old man can live if he stutters. ”

"Then why did Xiao Tao like to be with such a dying old man at that time?" Han Ren asked puzzled.

"Someone went to his house and said his house...... Oops, it's all weird stuff. ”

"What's this weird thing?"

"Said a villager who had no intention of entering the stranger's house," said the proprietress in a low voice, telling them about the past twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago, in the evening of summer, a villager came home from his farm work in the field, and suddenly it rained heavily on the road. In the middle of the room there was an offering table with an unknown god on it, and an incense candle was lit on each side, and incense was burned in the censer. Beneath the offering table is a kneeling futon......

According to the villagers' recollections, there were still some cinnabar, pen and ink, scattered paper, yellowed ancient books, small flags of several colors, tokens, and it seemed that there were bells...... Where have the villagers seen these, just looking at it, I saw that the old man suddenly appeared at the door wearing plastic film, at this time the "boom" thundered, everything strange in the house, the old man's gloomy face, frightened the villagers to run, and they didn't care if it rained.

The proprietress sighed after finishing her speech and said, "Why did you say that Xiao Tao was willing to run to the weirdos every day?" ”

"And then? What happened to Xiao Tao? Is there anything strange about it? Bufan asked.

Later, the old man died, and Xiao Tao left the village to work in the city before he was twenty years old, and did not come back all year round. A few years later, he brought back the big-bellied woman and never left. ”

On the way back to the hotel, Bufan didn't say a word, and Han Ren couldn't help but ask him, "Who is that old man?" ”

"It's a Taoist priest, and his Taoist skills are quite high." Bufan frowned, looked ahead and said.

"Daoist?" Han Ren exclaimed: "Could it be that Lao Tao has been learning Taoism from him?" ”

"Nine times out of ten," Bufan said: "No wonder Ah Quan said that he is not simple, his Taoist skills should not be shallow." I wonder what he learned from the strange old man? ”
