Chapter 54: Waiting
Yuxin was already stunned, and when she heard me scream, she came back to her senses like waking up from a big dream.
"Ah Leng, what's going on?!" Yuxin asked.
"There is a ghost in this car, Uncle Ding hit an evil spirit, he shouldn't be called, hurry up, drive and chase!" I panted and said eagerly.
"Uh-huh... Hey? Ah Leng, the headlights are on again! ”
"It's not lit just now, it must be the ghost of the paper cart..."
Yuxin 'clicked' on the fire, said, sat firmly, hung the gear and hit the accelerator, suddenly loosened the clutch, and the car 'rubbed' out of the way.
Yuxin is very skilled, and there are no vehicles and pedestrians on this road in the middle of the night, so it drives fast. However, the paper cart ran faster, and it was easy to catch up, and it was thrown off again. In this way, after more than ten minutes of wild racing, the paper car flickered far and near in the field of vision in front of us, and suddenly disappeared... I felt a 'chuckle' in my heart.
"Ah Leng, where did it go?"
I shook my head.
Yuxin slowed down and came to the place where the paper car disappeared, stopped, looked out the window, and saw a fork in the road on the left side of the road. There is no doubt that the paper cart must have turned a corner on this fork in the road...
It was a dirt road, full of potholes, all the way west, the car swayed from south to north, and it couldn't soar at all. After about twenty minutes of walking, I ordered Yuxin to stop.
"You wait in the car, I'll go down and have a look."
"You have to be careful."
"Hmm..."
I picked up the bag and got out of the car, looking around. On both sides of the road are two ditches, which look quite deep, and on the other side of the ditch is an endless wilderness. The wheat sprouts were sparsely pulled, like needles, and in the dark night, they shook in the biting cold wind.
I jumped my feet and rubbed my ears at the same time, in addition to driving away the cold, and then I gave myself courage, and my heart was full of sorrow, where did the ghost car go? … I accidentally looked ahead, and I saw that in the wilderness directly in front of me on the right hand, there seemed to be a cemetery...
"Yuxin, let's go, go forward." Back in the car, I said to Yuxin.
When I came to see it, it was indeed a cemetery, which looked quite large, and the tombs were like raised hills, neatly arranged, and large or small tombstones were nailed in front of the tomb.
"Ah Leng, I'll go down with you." Yuxin said.
Getting out of the car, Yuxin nervously grabbed my arm, crossed the small stone bridge built on the ditch, and we came to the cemetery.
Turning east and west, finding nothing, I shook my head, and was about to return to the car when I suddenly heard a 'bang'. Following the sound, I saw a black thing under a grave in the upper left, vaguely looking like a person, or a ghost...
I pulled out the Seven Star Sword, ordered Yuxin to hide behind me, plucked up my courage, and walked towards the tomb... Approaching, I didn't even dare to come out, I poked the seven-star sword over and poked it gently, the 'thing' moved, at this time I had sensed it, this was a person, I hurriedly put the seven-star sword away, took out my mobile phone and took it...
"Uncle, Uncle Ding?"
This person is none other than Ding Ziguo, demented and curled up in the leeward of the grave. I pressed the thumb of my left hand against him, my index finger against the middle of the person, and at the same time pressed hard, and my right hand slapped him the back of the head, and the old man woke up.
"My brother... Let's go? "The old man Ding Ziguo looked at me and Yuxin.
"What's your brother?" I frowned.
"O people... Didn't he come in that car, and he heard me call him, and then the car stopped, and he waved to me slowly in the car, and then I got out of the car and got into his car..."
I felt a chill creep up my spine, and I looked at Yuxin in horror.
"Get in the car, and then?" I asked.
"And," the old man scratched at his temples, "it's weird, I don't remember what happened after I got in the car... Hey? Where is this? The old man looked around and said in surprise, "Why am I here?" ”
"Uncle."
"Huh?" The old man Ding Ziguo looked at me stunned.
"You—" I took a deep breath, "you've hit a ghost." ”
Ding Ziguo opened his mouth wide, and after being stunned for half a minute, he suddenly grabbed my arm, "You mean... What I saw my brother, he was a ghost? He's dead? ”
I was stunned, bit my lip silently, and nodded slowly.
Muddy tears poured out of Ding Ziguo's eyes and flowed down his cheeks. In fact, this old man still cares about his brother in his heart.
"How so, how so? Wasn't he all right before you came? ”
"Ah Leng, could it be that Uncle Ding Ziguo was also killed..."Yu Xin said.
"It should be, it must have been the 'people behind the scenes'... Uncle, don't be too sad, I'm not sure if Uncle Zimin is dead, let's go, let's go back first..."
On the way back, my heart fluctuated, if the old man Ding Zimin, who sold newspapers, was dead, then he came to see his brother Ding Ziguo in a 'ghost car', not to avenge the 'revenge of the broken leg' before his death, otherwise, the old man Ding Ziguo would not be alive and well when we found him, so what was his purpose? Is it just to catch up with his brother before going to the underworld? …
Nothing was said all the way, and when he returned to Ding Ziguo's residence, the old man trembled and took out the key, and in a panic, he tried several times, but he didn't open the lock. I sighed, lowered my head, and suddenly, I saw something white at the old man's feet.
"Uncle, wait for the door to open the door, let me give way."
Yuxin put the old man aside, I squatted down and took a photo with my mobile phone, only to see that this was a cigarette butt, a white cigarette butt, which looked quite high-end. I moved my phone and found another one.
"Someone has been here." I said, "It seems that the people who came saw the door locked, thought there was no one at home, waited for a while and left." ”
"Uncle, who usually looks for you?" Yuxin asked.
"Huh?" Ding Ziguo came back to his senses, "No, no one is looking for me." ”
Could it be... Yuxin and I glanced at each other.
The old man of Ding Ziguo suddenly said 'ah', "I know!" ”
"What?" I asked hurriedly.
"It's him, he's here!"
"Him?"
"Fan Tongtian! … When I was in the car, I saw a car driving by, and there was a man wearing sunglasses sitting in the car, I thought the person was a little familiar, and I didn't think about it at the time, I just thought about why the people hadn't come yet... That's right, now that I think about it, that person is Fan Tongtian! I haven't seen him for so many years, and he doesn't look the same as before..."
"Are you sure it's him?"
Ding Ziguo nodded.
"I see..."
"What?" Yuxin asked.
"Uncle Ding Zimin, he is indeed dead, and he was killed by Fan Tongtian. The reason why he ran over to see Uncle Ding Ziguo and said that he had left the town to wait for him was to lure Uncle Ding Ziguo out of his house, because he knew that Fan Tongtian was coming to harm Uncle Ding Ziguo..."
"You mean, the reason why Fan Tongtian came to the door was to harm me?" Ding Ziguo asked.
"That's right."
Ding Ziguo's whole body was shocked, "Oh no! My wife is still at home! … O wife! …”
Before going out during the day, Ding Ziguo said to his wife that if she came back late, let her warm up the leftovers and leftover steamed buns at noon, and come out of the house, Ding Ziguo locked the door outside, and then we left.
Ding Ziguo shouted, opened the door in a panic, rushed into the courtyard, and the lights were lit in the side room. When I entered the house, I saw the old lady wearing a dress and sitting at the head of the bed.
Governor Ding Zi breathed a sigh of "shh ”
"I slept in a daze, and I heard a few knocks on the door outside."
"Thank goodness." Ding Ziguo stroked his chest, "I can't live here, let's move out tomorrow, that Fan Tongtian has come to the door again..."
"No, you can't move." I said.
"Why?" Ding Ziguo was stunned.
"I'm not afraid that he will come again, but I'm afraid that he won't come. This man is ruthless, he has killed many people, and he must be caught and brought to justice. Uncle, don't be afraid, I'll stay with Yuxin and wait for him here..."
Yuxin and I lived in another side room in Dingzi Country, Yuxin slept in a small bed, and I made a bunk on the floor. The next morning, Yu Xin called the small village and ordered him to check if the old man in the city who sold newspapers had an accident. As soon as he had lunch, he replied, Xiao Zhuang said that the old man who sold newspapers had not been to the newsstand for several days, and he was not in the place where he lived, so he did not know where the people had gone. Looking at the situation, the old man Ding Zimin did have an accident...
In a flash, two or three days have passed, and Fan Tongtian has not come, this person is as fierce as a wolf, cunning better than a fox, could it be that he knows that someone in Ding Ziguo's residence is waiting for him? … As for the dead ghosts under the canal bed, they didn't come out to find me and Yuxin again.
The past few days have been very boring, there is no cable in Dingzi country, and the TV can only receive two stations, and there is no good program. The old man had a little bird, and he used to go to the canal embankment early in the morning to walk the birds, but now he doesn't go either. The old man died of his younger brother, he was in a bad mood, the atmosphere at home was solemn, and it was very inappropriate to laugh with Yuxin at his house. What you can do every day is nothing more than to tease the birds, or you and Yuxin are squatting under the eaves and looking at a palm-sized piece of sky in a daze.
This morning, the north wind blew all morning, and the roof tiles 'rattled', and the electricity was stopped. The sky was gray and cloudy, and it looked like it was going to snow. Sure enough, as soon as the wind stopped, a slight snow fell flutteringly, like tiny petals, and I couldn't help but feel excited.
The old man Ding Ziguo saw my thoughts, and said that this kind of ghost weather, Fan Tongtian should not come, even if he comes, he should come to 'step on the point', confirm whether he lives here, in broad daylight, he doesn't dare to do anything, if he wants to start, he will choose the night. You two are young and suffocated these days, if you want to go out for a walk, go out for a walk, if Fan Tongtian comes, I will call you as soon as possible...
The old man was right, I took out two lonely runes from the magic weapon bag to defend himself and his wife. Then he took his bag and walked out with Yuxin.
The county is very quiet, there is no wind on the road, and there are no frolicking naughty children, Yuxin and I are running and jumping, venting the depression of the past few days, and after a while, the head is full of snow.
"Hey, Snow White, are you hungry?" I asked.
"It's okay, Miss Leng, what about you?"
"If I don't eat again, I'm going to gnaw my fingers...", I looked around, "It's not far from the teahouse, let's go eat there." ”
