After leaving the hotel, I retrieved my car. It was already late and I really didn't want to drive home for another two hours, so I called my girlfriend and took two more days off and found a hotel in the county.

Qiao Wei and I each opened a single room. My room has a bathroom and a computer with Internet access, which is already considered high-end in the county, and it only costs 60 yuan a night, which is very economical.

I took a comfortable shower, and then called Liu Jingyang again.

When the phone rang for the sixth time, it was finally picked up, and Liu Jingyang lowered his voice super low, and secretly asked me what was the matter.

I said I wanted to know if there were any special changes in the village in 2000 and January 01, but Liu Jingyang didn't say why he thought about it for a long time. I felt that it would be futile to ask any further, so I thanked him and hung up the phone, and then turned on the computer to look for it on the Internet.

There are many things on the Internet about the rural areas of Heilongjiang in 2000, such as increasing the number of teachers supporting agriculture, increasing the per capita cultivated area, increasing the cultural level of the labor force, reducing the number of poor people, improving the living standards of rural areas, improving the quality of drinking water, etc., in short, they are all singing about the situation in the rural areas of Heilongjiang.

Because I didn't know which piece of information was the key to solving the puzzle, I didn't filter any of the information, and I read each one very carefully. But after two hours, I still didn't find any clues that were worth probing.

I wasn't going to give up, but before I could continue looking for information, I decided to move my shoulders and lie in bed and close my eyes for a while.

As soon as I sat on the bed, there was a knock on the door, and I quickly ran over to open the door, and found that it was Qiao Wei standing in the doorway.

Before I could ask him what was the matter, Qiao Wei raised his hand first, handed me a pendant necklace and said, "You hold this and hang it on the head of the bed, the wandering ghost sometimes enters the hotel with people, and it won't get close to you when you sleep." ”

I took the pendant necklace and quickly thanked him, and let Qiao Wei into the room. The chain shouldn't be too valuable in terms of material, but the pendant in the shape of an ancient bronze knife is quite chic, and I like it very much.

"Have you opened this light?" I asked half-jokingly, Qiao Wei sat on the sofa and shook his head, and then explained seriously: "This doesn't need to be turned on, the iron itself has the effect of exorcising ghosts, and if it is cast into a knife shape, it can suppress ghosts." This is a little smaller, but it's enough to help you avoid the ghost ghosts. You've just been in contact with ghosts, and you're covered in ghosts, and it's easy to provoke ghosts. ”

I asked him again if there was any harm in being found by the imp.

Qiao Wei asked me to rest assured, and explained that there is no big harm in the little ghost wandering spirit, but it will borrow some yang energy after a long time of close life, which makes people prone to some minor illnesses such as colds, and it is easy to attract mosquitoes in summer, but it is just troublesome.

I nodded, thanked Qiao Wei again, and then took the knife-shaped pendant in my hand and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, I remembered a message I had just seen on the Internet, so I hurriedly asked Qiao Wei again: "You said that iron can drive away ghosts?!" ”

"Yes, Chinese hardware has a certain exorcism effect, of which silver and iron have the best effect."

"What about the iron in the water? Like rust and stuff! I asked.

"Well, it depends on the amount, if the amount is large, it can play some role, but the effect is average. What's wrong? Does this have anything to do with the humpback village? ”

"It's not clear yet, but I think it's likely! Come and check this out! I was so excited that goosebumps stood all over my body, and I hurriedly ran to the computer and quickly found an article I had read before, which was a report on the Heilongjiang drinking water safety project on the water-saving irrigation network.

I asked Qiao Wei to sit in front of the computer, and then found the most important paragraph in the article and pointed it to him: "Look at what is written on it, the iron content of underground water in Heilongjiang is too high!" Then from 2000 onwards water treatment, groundwater filtration! My voice trembled with excitement.

"It's really!" Qiao Wei also leaned forward, his face almost pressed against the monitor.

"You watch first, and I'll call Liu Jingyang again to ask." After speaking, I picked up the phone again and dialed Liu Jingyang's number.

This time, the phone rang only once and was picked up, and before Liu Jingyang could speak, I couldn't wait to ask: "Did your village start to purify groundwater in 2000?!" ”

"Huh? Ah......h Don't ...... this yet."

"That's it! Thanks, I'll call you later! ”

Liu Jingyang seemed to have something to say on the other end, but I didn't listen to it, hung up the phone directly, and said to Qiao Wei excitedly: "It's wrong!" Liu Jingyang said that the tap water he used in 01 years, and their village had money, and it must have been the first water plant to be built to start filtering groundwater. ”

"But the groundwater is filtered at the water plant, and the corpses can't be in the filtration pool, right?" Qiao Wei asked.

I laughed, "Of course not!" I guess the body was in a sewage well! ”

"Sewage wells?"

"Yes!" I took a deep breath to calm down my over-excitement and said, "After the cobbler Li killed the informant's family, he should have taken the child away and thrown it into a sewage well far away from the east and west villages, and I guess the well should be not far from Camel Mountain." Later, the child became a ghost, but the sewage well was still in use, and there was iron in the sewage, and perhaps some precipitated rust, so the ghost was suppressed! However, since 2000, the village has purified the groundwater, and there is less iron in the sewage, and the iron deposited is estimated to have been washed away by the clean water, so the ghosts have started to move. ”

"Makes sense! This can explain that the weishenme child has only started to lose it since 01 years! Then let's go back to the village tomorrow, by the way, call Tang Hui with us, there is a policeman who is more convincing, and it can also prevent those people in the village from beating us both. To be honest, I was so scared! Qiao Wei grinned.

I was just about to agree, when suddenly my phone rang, and when I looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Liu Jingyang!

As soon as I picked up the phone, Liu Jingyang preemptively said, "Oh no! Something happened in the village! The eldest son of Sun Dagazi's family is gone! ”

I was shocked and hurriedly asked, "When did you lose it?" ”

"It seems to have been lost just now, not for a while! I just heard the letter when you called, and I wanted to tell you, but I hung up the phone before I could say anything. ”

"Could it be that it's someone's house to play? It's been more than a month before Chinese New Year's Eve, so I should ......" I stopped in the middle of my sentence, because I realized again that I had made a mistake. I hurriedly said to Liu Jingyang: "Dude, what kind of big gazi and his child may still be saved, you ask the people in the village to go to Camel Mountain to find a sewage well, and the child may be in the well." ”

After speaking, I handed the phone to Qiao Wei and asked him to tell Liu Jingyang the exorcism tools that he could prepare at hand. And I hurried all the time to get dressed and prepare to drive back to Humpwaist Village overnight, because there was no time for us to grind in the county anymore, and the ghost who caught children in the village was completely out of control after we opened the light to see off Li Da Leatherman!
