Chapter 113: The Three-Legged Toad
Old Man Zou's words filled me with curiosity, and I hurriedly asked:
"What kind of illness did she come to see you?"
"I have a deep impression of this girl, her physique is different from others, she is born with yang decay and there is always evil spirits, I carved a wood carving for her as a stand-in and she never came again"
Ever since I met Bai Fan, she was always in good spirits, and she didn't look sick at all, so she asked:
"So did she get cured in the end? How did she find you? ”
Old man Zou shook his head when he heard this.
"I'm a carver, and I only carve stand-ins for people, and I don't have much popularity with this ability to accumulate yin virtue, and I don't know how she found me."
After saying this, Old Man Zou remembered something again and continued:
"Oh, by the way, I remember that she was brought in by an old man"
The old man brought it?
When I heard this, I secretly thought to myself, Bai Fan's parents live in Tangwazi Village, except for the sixth uncle, a neighbor who grew up watching her grow up, I haven't heard her mention that there are any grandparents and grandparents around.
Bai Fan was only a teenager back then, would he let the neighbor of Uncle Sixth come to take her to see a doctor?
It's a pity that I don't have a photo of Uncle Six in my hand, so I can't let Mr. Zou identify it.
Seeing that I was asking endlessly, Maruko lost his patience and muttered:
"If you have a private matter, ask later, so many people are waiting"
"Hmm" I replied and quickly led the group out of the basement.
After settling everything, I took the bull's-eyed man with the head of the ball and let them stay together, and the matter of the wood carving was finally clear, and all that remained was to hope that they could recover as soon as possible, and I was finally relieved.
......................
The tuyere of Captain Wu's car accident has not yet passed, although I am very worried about the safety of Old Wu and want to set off to save him immediately, but I will not let go because of Xiaoliu's obstruction.
The car accident caused a lot of waves on the Internet, and many netizens began to make up the car accident indiscriminately, saying all kinds of situations, but everyone has one in the center: this is an accident caused by a haunting.
Xiaoliu has been depressed for a while, and keeps asking to take me to the bus group to prove that we have been driving safely, and this accident is not caused by a haunting.
Before he waited, as he wished, the official has refuted the rumors that the accident was just an accident, and now the supernatural claims are overwhelming, due to the pressure of public opinion, or it may be difficult to ride a tiger, the city bureau finally decided to keep the 13 bus line and continue to open to traffic.
Not long after this notice came down, there was a heavier news, and we stood for a new captain:
It's me!!
After this appointment was issued, the whole company exploded, and I was the new captain!!
My lifelong dream now is to stay away from this filthy place, the complicated relationship between people and ghosts, and naturally I don't agree with this dangerous appointment.
The middle-level leaders sent by the bus group turned a deaf ear to my protests, and only told me what the top meant, as long as I was honest and obedient, I would be promoted in the future.
I understood her words, this is not shit luck, I am not getting promoted and getting rich, I am being paralyzed by the calculation of being a radish and a pit!
I don't care about being an official or not, now that Lao Wu is arrested, I myself am in danger, saving Lao Wu is the only thing I care about now, but I believe that he will not have an accident for the time being, because Lao Wu still has the secret file bag in his hand to save his life, as long as the original information is not in the hands of the other party, there is still a chance.
Now that I'm the new captain, I have a certain amount of power, and I don't have to lie about the reason for taking a leave of absence to be the best man.
Regardless of your mother's 3721, it was you who asked me to be the captain, so I didn't report to my head when I asked for leave, and I left if I wanted to!
On the first morning meeting of my captain, I appointed Xiaoliu as the vice captain of the team, and repeatedly told everyone that when I was not there, Xiaoliu was fully responsible for everything, and Xiaoliu also made various vows at the meeting to lead our sub-station to win the mobile red flag of the advanced collective.
I saw that things were almost over, so I hurriedly went to Lao Liu to agree to set off to find Lao Wu, we booked the tickets, and waited for tomorrow to go straight to Hangzhou.
Xiaoliu heard the news that I was going out to go out again, and almost jumped up with joy, this time it was different from before, I was not in him but I was the boss, he invited me to dinner in the evening, and told me to come back later, the time was short enough for him to show his ambitions.
Hehe.
After dinner, I was packing my luggage for tomorrow's departure in the main dormitory, and suddenly the doorman called me and said that someone was looking for me.
Puzzled, I went to the door of the company and saw a man wearing a gray loose coat and a peaked cap standing at the door.
I walked over and asked in a low voice:
"Dude, you're looking for me?"
The man turned around and startled me:
It's actually Lao Wu's daughter-in-law!
I asked in surprise:
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
After looking around, my sister-in-law pulled me aside and said in a secluded place:
"I'm being targeted, there are people guarding my house every day, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of them tonight, I came to tell you something"
Lao Wu was arrested, and it was normal for his sister-in-law to be targeted, so he said:
"Sister-in-law, you say"
"Lao Wu called last week, saying that he was arrested by a group of people, let me tell you to go to the Spring and Autumn Tannery in Tianqiao District, Jinan to find a file bag"
I was shocked when I heard this, Lao Wu is still very smart, and the file bag is really not on him.
"Sister-in-law, where exactly is the thing located in the tannery?"
"I don't know, Lao Wu is in a panic on the phone, and the other end is broken halfway through the words, do you think Lao Wu will have an accident?"
My sister-in-law cried as she spoke.
This call should be secretly from Lao Wu, it seems that tomorrow's itinerary is going to be changed, and Hangzhou can't go now!
The sister-in-law cried a few times, then turned her head around vigilantly and said:
"Lao Wu said, this file bag is related to the lives of both of you, and said that he can't last long, and you must find it before them, I have long been targeted, and I have not dared to come to you, this matter has delayed me for a week"
My sister-in-law cried again guiltily, I told her that it was not safe here, comforted her a few more words, and sent her back.
Lao Wu was arrested, and I was getting a promotion and a salary increase.
This traffic director really has two hits.
I sneered in my heart and hurriedly went back to change the ticket, and set off for Jinan with Lao Liu the next morning.
Lao Liu also trusted me enough, and didn't ask much why he changed his itinerary, until he got in the car and settled down, and I told him in detail about my sister-in-law coming to me last night.
Lao Liu nodded and said:
"It's okay, even if the two of us go to Hangzhou, we may not be able to rescue people, if we really find something, he will be safe."
"Hmm" I answered, and checked the location of the Chunqiu Tannery in Tianqiao District, Jinan on the map.
The tannery was barely in business between going out of business and not going out of business, and the legal person was a local named Zheng Youliang. The factory is located not in the city of Tianqiao District, but in a small rural village near the city.
After checking the route, Lao Liu and I began to chat without a word.
The wood carving kept me busy for a few days, and I was free for a while before I poured out my efforts to report my trip to the Mudanjiang River to Lao Liu.
Lao Liu kept his face tight, and after listening to me, he said coldly:
"Before the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar every month, your yang energy is the most decaying, and I saw a few ghosts in those days, nothing more, just be fine"
I was puzzled and mentioned to him the mirror in the classroom that could not be removed, what Lao Liu said was the same as I thought, that mirror and the murderous bronze bell sent by Liu Yunbo are the same as the evil thing.
I heard him talk a lot about the bronze bell and the mirror conjecture, a particularly unrealistic statement is that a few people can see their future selves in the mirror, after saying this, Lao Liu asked curiously:
"What did you see in the mirror when you smashed it at the end?"
"It's nothing, it's just that my clothes have changed, and I look like a big boss in a suit and leather shoes in the mirror"
Lao Liu nodded reassuringly and said:
"It's okay, good sign"
I laughed for a while.
After this incident passed, I thought of the record of Lao Liu in Wei Youzhi's diary, and I also deliberately brought five diaries to read on the road before going out this time.
I directly learned the contents of the diary with Lao Liu, and asked him if the statement that half a paper man continued his life was true or false?
Lao Liu didn't answer me directly, he sneered and nodded lightly.
..................
The twenty-hour train journey was spent in torment and anticipation.
When we got off the train, it happened to be raining heavily, and our original plan for the train was ruined, so we had to take an expensive black car to the vicinity of the flyover area.
After a night's rest, we didn't dare to delay and hurried to Qiaodong Village, where the Spring and Autumn Tannery is located.
Although the village is not large, because it is located in the suburbs and close to the city, the life of the villagers seems to be good, and the houses here are generally very beautiful.
Walking on the village road with Lao Liu, I happened to see a man standing in the field with his waist bowed, and I went over to ask about the location of the tannery.
The fellow made a gesture to stop talking, and waited for him for a few minutes before slowly walking out of the field with a disappointed face.
I asked curiously:
"Brother, you're standing still in the ground, it's like you're pulling weeds or something, why are you?"
The man looked me up and down and replied:
"From out of town, huh? I'm looking for a three-legged toad."
"Three-legged toad?"
I couldn't help but repeat it and asked:
"What are you looking for mutant toads for, do you want to make home remedies?"
The man gave me a blank look and said:
"What do you think of the conditions in our village?"
I nodded and replied:
"The conditions are very good, and the houses are not small"
The man said proudly:
"That's all because there are three-legged toads in our village"
I asked curiously:
"What's the matter, is it expensive to sell a three-legged toad?"
The man smiled slyly, showed a row of white teeth, and said with a smile:
"Listen, a three-legged toad will turn into gold when wrapped in a red cloth!"
