Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dead in the Night
"It's really a master of wine bags and rice bags, you know how to eat, eat, eat." Yu Xin pursed her lips.
I 'hehe' smiled.
"Okay." Yu Xin smiled, "I've been running around for the past few days, and Master Leng has really worked hard, so do whatever you say." ”
We got back in the car, leaned back in our seats and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was dusk, and the sunset was like a burning fire, covering the entire western sky. On the clear and cold streets, there are pedestrians walking by from time to time, one by one cold and shivering.
Driving to the hot pot restaurant where we had dinner the night before, Yuxin and I ordered a lot of vegetables and meat. The soup in the hot pot was tumbling, and the smoke filled the entire box.
"When we're done eating, should we go home, or do we find a place to spend the night in this county and leave tomorrow?" Yuxin asked.
I glanced outside, it was already dark, thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to spend the night." ”
"Hmm."
Yu Xin nodded, biting her chopsticks lightly, stunned. Under the hot steam, the fragrance on her body came out and drilled into my nose in bursts.
After a while, Yu Xin said faintly, "Ah Leng." ”
"Huh?"
"You say, if the 'man behind the scenes' is really that Fan Tongtian, where will he be at the moment?"
"I feel... Maybe it's in the vicinity of our city, you think, since he accepted the sixth child as an apprentice, he sent him to help him do things at every turn, which means that even if he doesn't live in our city, he should often run to our city. ”
Yu Xin nodded, "That makes sense." ”
"According to what the old man of Ding Ziguo said, he looks quite like the old fox. We know his name again, called Fan Tongtian, so we won't have to worry about finding him when the time comes. ”
Yuxin thought about it, took out her mobile phone, flipped through it, and dialed a number.
"For whom?" I asked.
"Hello?" Yuxin waved her hand at me and put her phone on the table, "Xiaozhuang." ”
"Miss."
Yu Xin said 'um' and said bluntly, "Help me find someone, his name is 'Fan Tongtian', and he is about sixty years old." ”
"Okay, do you have any pictures of him? Pass it on to me if you have one. ”
"Nope."
"Then, please tell me where he lives in general, such as which city or county."
Yu Xin snorted and said coldly, "If I know, what else do I need you to check?" ”
"That..."On the phone, the little village sneered, "Then how do I check?" ”
"I don't care, you can figure it out yourself."
"That's... All right. ”
Hanging up the phone, Yuxin teased her head.
"Why are you so cold to this little village?" I asked cautiously.
"I've always been like this to my father's men..."
Yuxin told me that although she and her father had fallen out, her father's men still listened to her. However, she solves everything by herself, and she won't look for them, and even if she wants to find it, she usually only looks for this one called Xiaozhuang.
I nodded and said, "Normally, I don't look for them, but secondarily, for example, for Master Leng's unsolvable matter, I will look for them, right?" ”
"It's beautiful, you." Yuxin snorted.
After the meal, Morning Star called me and told me that Xiaoqing's father, the old man, can only drink some soup every day, and he is almost too thin. I told Morning Star about our experience in this line, and after listening to it, Morning Star thought about it and said that the one who caused the old man to have a stroke in the first place may be called 'Fan Tongtian'... I'm noncommittal, although we already have clues about the 'people behind the scenes', there are still mysteries in my heart...
Coming out of the hot pot restaurant, we came to a guest house nearby. This guest house is located next to the county hospital, from the outside, the building is very old, but the inside is well decorated, and there is a hot water supply. I opened a room with Yuxin alone, and after taking a hot shower, I fell on the bed and looked out the window with ups and downs.
There was a moon that night, thin and curved, hanging cold in the dark distant sky. After a long time, the moon shook in my eyes, and became more and more blurry, and finally disappeared, and I sank into deep darkness...
I was dazed, and I didn't know how long I had been asleep, when I suddenly heard what seemed to be someone calling me, the voice was small, revealing an irresistible magic, as if I was calling me, but it didn't. I felt myself lift the quilt and get up, fumbled to get dressed, got out of bed, followed the sound towards the door, walked as I walked, as if I had tripped over something, and then the sound disappeared, and I woke up with a 'bang', and now I was standing in the middle of the room.
I was in a trance, and for a while, I couldn't remember what happened just now, but I just wondered why I was standing here. Outside, it was pitch black, the moon had gone somewhere, and in the courtyard of the guest house, the branches of the old trees were dangling not far from the window.
I scratched my head and said to myself, maybe it's because I'm too tired these days, so I'm sleepwalking, go back to bed and go back to sleep... Thinking of it this way, as soon as I lifted my foot, I felt that I touched something, and I couldn't help but be startled, and when I reached out and touched it, it turned out to be the bag containing the magic weapon. I sighed lightly, and said in my heart, it doesn't matter if I am scared to death by something, if I am scared to death by my own bag containing magic weapons, this master is not only sad, but also embarrassed to be thrown into the underworld...
I reached out and picked up the bag, and went to the corner of the wall, and was about to put it on the ground, when suddenly, with a 'chuckle' in my heart, I remembered the voice that had summoned me earlier, and if I hadn't tripped over it, maybe I would have walked out... Is there a ghost?
I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the time, it was nearly two o'clock, I scanned the room, and finally, my eyes fell on the window. When I got to the window, I reached open and looked down. The guest house is part of the county hospital and is located next to the south wall of the hospital, which is connected to the hospital by a small door. The courtyard was dark, empty and lonely. I was about to close the window, and a gust of wind blew from somewhere, and something floated down the wall from the hospital, and I looked at it with wide eyes, and it looked like a piece of straw paper, the kind of straw paper that was burned to the dead...
The papyrus fell, tumbled a few times, and disappeared into the darkness... The sorcerer's sixth sense told me that there must be something wrong. Suddenly, I thought of Yuxin, and rushed out of the room with my bag. When I came to the room where Yuxin lived, I saw that the door was closed, I put my ear to the door to listen, and there was no movement, so I knocked on the door twice and called, Yuxin... didn't respond, I panicked, and called again, Yuxin, are you there? I was startled when I knocked on the door and it slammed open, and I instinctively took a step back, and then I settled down and entered the room.
With a photo of the mobile phone, the quilt was rolled, and Yuxin didn't know where she went... I hurried downstairs and into the courtyard. I didn't shout, I tried to keep my composure, I looked around, my eyes fell on the little door, and in the darkness I saw that the door was open. When I walked up to it, it was open, and when I pushed the door open, I came to the hospital.
The whole hospital was dead silent, and I walked around a long flower bed, along the path to the north, and then east, against the wall, and I came to the back door of the hospital. When I saw the back door of the cave, my intuition told me that Yuxin must have gone out from here.
Out of the back door is an alley, very quiet, in the dark to discern, only to see that there are hospital signs on both sides of the alley, it should be the family building of the county hospital, black. Winding all the way east, I went out of the alley and onto the main road. Looking left and right, I didn't see Yuxin. I was not sure where to go when something landed on the rain shelter of a building on the right, and I jumped up with a 'thud'.
With such a jump, I saw a small road to the east in the distance on the right, across the road... At this time, a strong thought suddenly occurred in my heart, Yuxin went east along that road...
I crossed the road and walked up the path, and after a short time to the east, I came to the end of the road with a huge garbage dump with a row of dirty garbage cans at the bottom.
Skirting the garbage heap, I walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, stepping on the dry grass and gravel and continuing eastward to the canal embankment. The 'whining' north wind blew far along the river, and my lips shivered for a while, and when I looked down, there was a stone staircase at my feet, old and damaged, which felt like the ruins of an ancient ferry crossing.
"Yuxin!"
I shouted, echoing and staccato by the wind. Raising my eyes to look north, I suddenly appeared, in the far river, there were two people faintly, slowly moving north, and the one behind was very similar to Yuxin.
I was overjoyed, and hurried down the steps and chased north. I ran as fast as I could, the whirring wind cutting at my face like a knife, and there seemed to be thorns in my ears. When I got closer, I saw that it was Yuxin, about three or four meters away in front of her, there was a man walking, and he couldn't see his face.
"Yuxin!"
I let out a loud shout, reached out and grabbed Yuxin's arm, and pulled it back, and Yuxin fell softly into my arms with a 'bang'.
"Ahh Ah Leng? ”
I put my face on Yuxin's cheek, "Thank goodness! ”
Yuxin was slightly stunned, "I... Where am I? ”
"Silly girl, you hit the evil spirit, sue me, did you hear any sound when you slept before?"
"Voice? … Yes, I heard as if someone was calling me, and I walked out, wasn't it a dream? ”
"It's not a dream, it's a man who called you out... Hey? What about the man just now? ”
"There!"
Yuxin stretched out her hand, and I looked west, only to see the man standing motionless on the slope of the river embankment. The two of them jumped up, I 'brushed' and pulled out the seven-star sword, and Yu Xin and the two walked towards the man step by step.
"Hey, what are you!"
The man didn't move, he didn't say a word, and when he was about two meters away, I felt an aura, the aura of a dead man... At this moment, the man turned around, and I finally saw the way he looked, it was clearly a dead man, a dead man who had escaped from the morgue...
