The happy days of family reunion always pass quickly, and it is the third day of the Lunar New Year in the blink of an eye.

The custom here in our hometown is that the third day of the Lunar New Year is the day of visiting relatives. Because my grandmother had just passed away last year, our whole family went to her place.

The whole family of the aunt and the aunt were also there, so we first went to my grandmother's cemetery to pay respects and then went back to my grandmother's old house.

This time, Xiaobai didn't come with me, because she said that she was afraid that her grandmother's house would have some strange magic circles left by her grandmother before her death, just like the ghost trapping array. I knew that whether it was the ghost trap array transformed by my grandmother or the ghost trap array set up by my aunt in the valley, Xiaobai suffered a lot, so I went with her.

My grandmother has passed away, my two uncles have built a new house, and my grandfather lives alone in the old house.

With so many of our juniors here, my grandfather was very happy and busy preparing dinner.

My aunt has a son named Zhou Qian, who is my cousin.

Zhou Qian actually wanted to take the police academy and become a policeman, but his aunt didn't support it, and he couldn't end up studying economics. But I heard that he didn't work in the economy after graduating, but opened a detective agency.

After I went to the police academy, every time I met Zhou Qian during the holidays, he would ask me some about the situation in the police academy, and it seemed that I couldn't be a police officer, and he never really let go.

"Chen Shen, I heard that two of your roommates had an accident some time ago? Did the killer get caught? ”

After we were free, Zhou Qian and I stood under the eaves of the old house and began to chat. The matter between Xiao Xu and Da Fei was very big, and I didn't hide it from my parents, but I didn't tell them the truth of the matter, just that the police hadn't caught the murderer yet. I didn't expect Zhou Qian to know, it seems that my mother and aunt said it.

Zhou Qian's expression was faint, but I could see something special in his eyes, because when Zhou Qian was in college, three of his roommates were also killed. At that time, I was still in middle school, and later I heard that the murderer was found out by Zhou Qian. (For details of this case, see the clumsy work "The Spokesman of Death")

In this sense, Zhou Qian and I have a certain feeling of sympathy.

"Well, brother, you've heard about it too? The murderer has not yet been caught. Thinking of Da Fei and Xiao Xu, my tone also became heavy.

I didn't tell Zhou Qian the truth, mainly because Zhou Qian is a staunch atheist, which I know very well. Although our grandmother was a goddess, he was a very strange person since he was a child, and he never believed in her grandmother casting some spells and other things. Probably because of this, he rarely came to his grandmother's house since he was a child. It would be strange if I told him that the killer of my two roommates was a bad baby, and he didn't think I was crazy.

I lied, but my sadness was real, so I don't think Zhou Qian could see it.

Zhou Qian really didn't have any abnormal expression, he reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said, "If you need me to help you investigate the case, just tell me, I'm in the provincial capital anyway." ”

I nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was some noise next to me. Zhou Qian and I turned our heads to look, only to see a few people walking towards us quickly and panickingly.

There were four people in total, the one in front of me was an old man in my grandmother's village, followed by a man and a woman. The man was about thirty years old and had a small child in his hand. There was some anxiety and panic on the faces of both men and women.

They came quickly, and at once they were in front of the old house. The old man said, "This is it," and then hurried away without looking back. There was a great commotion in their coming, and my uncle noticed it, so they went up to meet them.

The man and woman looked very anxious, and the child in the man's arms was only five or six years old, and his eyes were closed at this time, and his face was very bad. I guessed what they meant, and it was a very common scene in my childhood, when my grandmother was still there.

"Help!" Sure enough, I heard the woman shouting to her uncle, "Is the goddess here?" Save my child! "Uncle and they also understood what was going on, and they couldn't help but look at each other. It seems that something has happened to the boy and a woman, and they want to come to their grandmother for help. Grandma is very famous in her hometown, and this pair of men and women may have heard about the miracle of grandma, so they came to see a doctor. It's just a pity that they don't know that their grandmother has passed away.

My grandmother knew a lot of strange spells when she was alive, but she never taught her family, my uncles and aunts, all ordinary people who couldn't do spells. I know that my grandmother wants us to live a normal life and doesn't want us to deal with all that dirty stuff.

It's just that at this time, someone who doesn't know comes to the door for help, what should we do?

Grandpa had seen a lot of this kind of thing in his life, and he invited the man and woman into the house and asked them what was wrong. It turned out that something happened to the son of the man and woman, a few days ago, their son suddenly had a high fever, they thought it was a common cold at first, and sent them to the township health center to see a doctor, and hung up the needle for two days, but they did not get better. They took the child to the city to see a doctor, and stayed in the city hospital for a few days. Moreover, the hospital in the city examined for several days, but the real cause was not found.

They panicked now, watching their son talk nonsense with a fever every day, and the woman washed her face with tears every day. At this time, one of their relatives asked them if the child had touched something unclean and had fallen into evil. The relative also said that she knew that a certain goddess was very spiritual, and asked them to take the child to see it.

The rural people still believed in these things, and in desperation, they decided to leave the hospital and take the children to the goddess to see. The goddess that the relative was talking about was my grandmother, but she didn't know that her grandmother had died. The man and woman came to see their grandmother with their son full of hope, and when they suddenly heard that the grandmother was gone, the woman sat down on the ground and began to cry.

The man sat on the stool with his son in his arms, also with a desperate and sluggish expression. I couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines, and after listening to their stories, they were desperate to come to my grandmother.

The hospitals in the towns and cities have been seen, but they can't see well, their son has been with a high fever for several days, and he may die at any time, and then the only hope is cut off, and they collapse all at once. The woman crawled up to her grandfather on her knees, grabbed her grandfather's trouser legs, cried and pleaded, "Please, please save my son!" You must have a way, there must be a way! Yes, please! ”

The woman's cry was so poignant and desperate that we couldn't bear to look at it directly. How nice it would have been if my grandmother was still there!

The uncle and grandfather tried to help the woman up, but she couldn't get up on the ground, and kowtowed to her grandfather and pleaded. The man was sitting on the stool in a daze, when he suddenly shouted: "Lele! Lele! It turned out that the child in his arms suddenly vomited, his face became even redder, and his breathing became short, and he felt out of breath.

"The hospitals in the city are not good, you can go to the provincial capital to have a look. I know there are a few good children's hospitals, if you want to go there......" Zhou Qian stepped forward and glanced at the boy, and said to the man and woman.

But before he could finish his words, the man was already crying loudly: "It's too late! It's too late! Lele, he's dying! ”

The little boy named Lele is indeed in a very bad situation, with more air out and less air intake, if there is no external help, he may not be able to survive the children's hospital in the provincial capital. The people in the room did not speak, only heard the crying of Lele's parents, and the atmosphere was very depressing and desperate.

"His grandmother has already gone, we really don't know how to see a doctor, there is really no way to ......," my grandfather said embarrassed. He looked anxious and uneasy, and took the woman's arm with both hands, trying to pull her up from the ground.

"Lele is gone, and I'm not alive!" The woman seemed to be mentally overwhelmed, and showed some signs of madness, and if it hadn't been for her grandfather holding her, she would have hit her headfirst against the wall.

"Is there really no way?" I asked myself.

Looking at the family in front of me, who had been cornered, I thought to myself, could it be worse? So he walked up to his grandfather and said, "Let me try it." ”
