Chapter 143: "It's Complicated!"
"What? Confused? ”
Qi Xiaoting's surprise is not trivial: "I have only heard that ghosts hit the wall and ghosts confuse people, but I have never heard that ghosts are also fascinated, what can confuse ghosts?" ”
Ryuichi: "I can't see it either. I've never seen anything like that. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "What should I do then?" How can I get it back? ”
Ryuichi: "The only way is for you to go over and take it." ”
Qi Xiaoting: "In which direction is it in the woods?" ”
Ryuichi: "I didn't pay attention at first, but when I found it, it was already turning around in the woods, and I don't know which direction. Well, you can collect it again tomorrow morning, and at least the road under your feet will be better. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "What about tonight?" What about the next person? I can't sleep without it. ”
Ryuichi: "You won't use the quilt!" ”
"It's safe for me to use the quilt, but what about Li Hong? He slept soundly, and I didn't want to alarm him again. Qi Xiaoting said, flashing out of the space.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Long Yi asked uneasily.
Qi Xiaoting: "I'll collect it and go around the village." Wake up early tomorrow, maybe you will be free or not. ”
Ryuichi: "Be careful. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "If there is a situation, I will flash into the space." As long as I walk soberly, I am not afraid of anything. ”
Qi Xiaoting's residence is in the southwest corner of the village, and she remembered that Gu Changzhu said that the branch compound was just a mile outside the village. There was a forest there, where Gu Yuzhen disappeared. I wanted to start looking for it from the southwest corner.
Qi Xiaoting walked out of the village wearing a cloak of soil, and she couldn't see anything clearly. I had to cover the night pearl with my hand and shine the way through my fingers.
After walking a little southwest, I saw a small bridge. There are no guardrails on the bridge, but there are two large stones placed on each side of the bridge, which makes one think that it is the side of the bridge.
Across the small bridge is the woods. Qi Xiaoting walked west along the road north of the woods, and saw a white shadow floating in the woods to the west, up for a while, down for a while, left for a while, and right for a while, like a headless fly, flying very irregularly.
It's not Ah Mei, which one is it!
In the dead of night, Qi Xiaoting didn't dare to shout, and hurriedly walked over.
He whispered to the side. Ah Mei woke up like a dream, and flew in front of Qi Xiaoting with a "whoosh".
Qi Xiaoting put it in a scarf, told Long Yi the sound transmission, and returned the same way.
Ah Mei no longer has any abnormal phenomena, and Long Yi's divine thoughts are on it, and it is still the same as in the past.
In the second half of the night, Qi Xiaoting slept soundly.
The next morning.
Qi Xiaoting opened her sour eyes and found that the sky was exceptionally bright. She hurriedly looked up at the window, where the dark blue cloth was still well in the way.
Qi Xiaoting closed her heavy eyelids again, recalling the scene of last night, and couldn't figure out whether the scary face outside the window was a dream or reality.
She got up, got dressed, and went to open the door. I pulled the latch and pushed it, but the door couldn't be pushed open.
What's going on?
Qi Xiaoting immediately felt anxious in her heart.
"It's snow tuen mun." Long Yi said with a smile.
Qi Xiaoting was embarrassed for a while, and pushed it out hard, and the door barely opened a crack.
She looked out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, it turned out that the snow had drifted all night, and the door was sealed by heavy snow!
Qi Xiaoting got out of the crack in the door. There were still scattered snowflakes falling slowly in the sky, and a fresh and inviting air came to the face.
Qi Xiaoting's spirits were lifted, she breathed heavily, and looked into the distance, the world was white, and all the scenery outside was covered with a thick layer of snow.
Probably hearing Qi Xiaoting's movements, Li Hong also walked out of the Xili room and looked out with the door open.
Qi Xiaoting cleared the snow at the door with a shovel, saw that the door could be pushed open, and stepped on the "creak" and "creak" snow again, looking for the footprints of last night in the courtyard.
Unfortunately, the later snowflakes had already filled in the footprints, leaving no traces.
"What a pity!" Qi Xiaoting muttered to herself.
"What's wrong? Xiaoting. Li Hong leaned over and asked.
Qi Xiaoting: "We recruited thieves here last night." ”
"Recruited thieves?" Li Hong asked in surprise: "Did you lose anything?" Turning his head, he disappeared from the red and white horses, and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Where are our horses?" Stolen! ”
Qi Xiaoting smiled: "If we let the thief steal something, don't look stupid!" I sent them into space. ”
Li Hong embarrassed his scalp, "hehe" smiled: "It seems that I can't be a normal person yet, as soon as I fall asleep, I will be like a dead dog, and I can't hear anything." ”
Li Hong is telling the truth, although he can eat and walk like a normal person, he still maintains the habit of being a zombie in sleep: when he sleeps until dawn, there is a 12-magnitude typhoon and an eight-magnitude earthquake in the middle, and it can't wake him up.
Now that everyone is up, let's solve the problem of eating first.
Long Yi had already made breakfast, and Jiao Na also got up. After Qi Xiaoting and Li Hong came in, they put the table to eat.
At the dinner table, Qi Xiaoting told everyone in detail about the situation last night, and after analyzing it for a long time, no one could tell what was going on. But everyone knows in their hearts: this small village is very complicated, and it is by no means as simple as freezing a child to death.
"I knew that as long as I lived in the village, there would be something going on!" Jiaona pouted and said, "That's good, even a ghost is confused." ”
"I think that's the key." Li Hong also said: "Our horses are red and white, fat and strong, and they are very good, and there are people everywhere who are interested in making money, which is not surprising." Strange is wondering how a ghost can get lost? I see there's a talk here. ”
Ryuichi: "It's like a human encountering a ghost hitting a wall, and it's going to go around endlessly." ”
Li Hong: "I've only heard of people being hit by ghosts on the wall, going around in one place, and not letting them go until the rooster crows." What will the ghost hit the wall? ”
Jiaona: "It's good that Mei can say it." ”
Qi Xiaoting glanced at Long Yi: "You instill some spiritual power into it and let it speak?" ”
Ryuichi: "If it worked, I would have let it speak." Its vocal cords have been damaged by you, and they can't be repaired. ”
Qi Xiaoting gave him a blank look: "You won't think of any other way!" If something so strange happens, don't you want to solve this mystery! ”
The corners of Long Yi's mouth twitched: "I'll think about this." You should also be careful, if I give you a dismount as soon as I come, then there must be something in this village, and I tell you to leave it alone in this way! ”
Li Hong: "People can protect themselves, but horses can't." Or take the horse out. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "It's easy for people to see. It's icy and snowy, and there's nowhere to put it, how to explain it to people! ”
Jiaona: "It's okay to go out. I looked at them and wasn't going anywhere. ”
In fact, she is reluctant to participate in the affairs of the village. For her, it's all about mothers-in-law, human beings tear each other apart, it's not the same if you win and he loses.
As soon as the three of them and the two horses came out of the space, they heard a knock at the gate.
Qi Xiaoting opened the door and saw that it was Gu Jinming, Xiaohuzi's father: "Master, Xiaohuzi has woken up and can speak." ”
Qi Xiaoting was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Did you say anything?" ”
Gu Jinming looked out of the door, saw that there was no one, and whispered: "He said that he saw his sister, and it looks quite similar." After he ran, his sister ran back. He was slapped in the face and then he didn't know anything. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Can you see who hit him?" ”
Gu Jinming shook his head: "He said that the man was wearing a sloppy hat and a black coat, and he didn't see his face clearly. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "You go back first, I'll be there soon." Xiaohuzi can speak, don't tell outsiders first, you must keep it secret. ”
Gu Jinming: "Then I'll go back and tell them to go." ”
Qi Xiaoting returned to the house and told Jiao Na and Li Hong about it, and at the same time transmitted the sound of Long Yi: "No wonder Xiaohuzi will be frozen, it turns out that he will be still as soon as it snows." In addition, it was windy, and it was soon buried. ”
Ryuichi: "The disappearance has become a criminal case, this matter is complicated, you must protect yourself." Don't let out Ah Mei just yet. ”
"The footprints in last night, are they also the same person who beat Xiaohuzi?" Li Hong also raised his own suspicions.
Qi Xiaoting: "He can't be so blatant, right?" ”
Li Hong: "He doesn't know where we come from, and he can't help but want to scare us away." Or give us a disgrace and don't let us take care of it. ”
Qi Xiaoting nodded: "It's complicated, you two are here first, and I'll go over and take a look alone." ”
Xiaohuzi had already put on his clothes and sat on the quilt around the kang head. It's also a little lazy.
Pang Yingrong's eyes were crying like copper bells again, and Qi Xiaoting knew that this was for her daughter Gu Yuzhen.
Qi Xiaoting gave each of them a hand of gourd potion, and asked Huzi to explain the situation.
Little Huzi said that it was snowing, and that Horn, a little pug he fed, was disobedient and ran to the creek but would not come, so he chased him over and wanted to take him home.
As a result, the horn ran farther and farther, and they all ran across the river. He crossed the river along the ice and was about to catch the horn, when he saw a woman running out of the woods, looking a little like his sister, he shouted.
The woman looked at him and ran back. He clearly saw that the person was his sister, so he screamed and chased after him. When he chased to the edge of the woods, he was slapped by a man in a black coat and a sloppy hat, and he didn't know anything after that.
Pang Yingrong "snapped" and "snapped" and shed tears again.
"I got up early and went there to look, but there was nothing, not even a footprint." Gu Jinming said: "Actually, this is good news. It's been half a month, at least we know that the child is still alive. ”
Qi Xiaoting nodded, and asked again, "There was no situation here last night, right?" ”
Gu Jinming: "In the first half of the night, there was a sound. I got up and looked into the rooms, but I saw nothing. I was so scared that I lit the lights in the hall all night, and I didn't dare to sleep. But I never heard it again, I thought I heard it wrong, and after dawn, it didn't feel real, so I didn't tell anyone. ”
The family hadn't eaten yet. Qi Xiaoting comforted a few words, indicating that she must take care of her attitude, and walked out.
