"Do you want to hear simple or complex talk?"

“…… Let's talk about it briefly. ”

"To put it simply, you're entangled in evil spirits."

Yu You closed his eyes slightly and held his forehead, and took a deep breath, "I already know this, tell me something I don't know." ”

"This." Wei Ran's appearance was a little embarrassed, "I need a little more information." ”

Yu Youwei told Wei Ran in detail all the things that had happened from the first time he met Xu Bo to today, holding his cheek with his right hand and tapping on the sofa with his left hand, waiting for Wei Ran to respond.

"Then everything should start with this Xu Bo."

Yu You nodded slightly.

"Well, I'll go with you to see him next time."

Yu Youwei nodded again.

"I, I need to prepare something."

Yu You smiled and nodded.

"I need some money."

Yu Youwei's smile froze on his face, "How much?" ”

This question stumped Wei Ran, he hadn't spent a few times when he grew so big, and he didn't have any concept of money, so he could only say tentatively, "Two thousand yuan?" ”

Yu You gasped slightly, she didn't expect this little Taoist priest living in the mountains to open his mouth so loudly, but it was important to save her life in front of her, so she could only take out her old mobile phone and give it to Wei Ran, and transferred two thousand yuan to him.

And when Wei Ran saw that the money had arrived, he habitually saluted, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

“……”

The next day, Yu Youwei took Wei Ran to the detention center again, Wei Ran wore the daily clothes Yu Youwei bought, claimed to be her assistant, and the two entered the detention center.

Yu Youwei had heard that people who were dying would have a "dead breath" on their faces, and when she saw Xu Bo today, the word was concretized in front of her, even if she didn't know the art of watching people at all, she could see that Xu Bo didn't have a trace of living breath on his face.

His face seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of black air, and he no longer stared at her evilly, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he had lost his spirit.

Seeing Yu Youwei nodding at him, Wei Ran understood, stood up and walked to the police officer who was guarding on the side, "Comrade policeman, please trouble you", as he spoke, he pasted a talisman on the side of the police officer.

Seeing that Wei Ran had succeeded, Yu You hurriedly beckoned, "Hurry up, there's this." "Yesterday, Yu Youwei personally tried the talisman, and only then did he believe that this little Taoist priest who was easy to talk about was really double-hit.

Wei Ran took out another longer piece of rune paper, and as soon as his palm turned, the rune paper was firmly attached to Xu Bo's chest.

"Why can you post like this?" Yu Youwei didn't understand.

Wei Ran patiently replied, "This is a matter of spiritual power, so if you can save it, you can save it." ”

Yu Youwei felt that what Wei Ran said was very reasonable.

Xu Bo's head slowly raised, "Reporter Yu." His voice was different from the last one's sharp, harsh, hoarse and tired, as if he hadn't opened his mouth for a long time, "You're here." ”

"This good faithful, you have to say that what happened to you as soon as possible, I don't know how long I can suppress what happened to you." Wei Ran's tone was unhurried even when urging.

"What?" Xu Bo seemed to wake up from a big dream, and only then did he begin to have a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Yu You pointed to the surrounding environment, and tears suddenly welled up in Xu Bo's eyes, "It's all my fault." ”

"You all know, my wife." Xu Bo smiled self-deprecatingly, "Everyone says that I am a soft rice eater, a rich father-in-law, and I don't even care about my mother in the countryside." But we've been in love since college, and I didn't marry her because of her family's money. ”

These Yu Youwei really haven't investigated.

Xu Bo continued quietly: "My wife has been pampered since she was a child, and my mother has come to our house several times after marriage, she always thinks my mother is dirty, saying that my mother has a smell, and every time my mother leaves, she will throw away the dishes and chopsticks used by my mother." ”

"A few days ago, a classmate who did insurance recommended me a life insurance, and if I buy it now, I can get 2,000 living expenses per month in two years."

"I have no money for 50,000 yuan, and I hardly dare to use my pocket money every month, so I can barely save my mother's living expenses. So, I wanted to take the whole family out to play, and when my wife was in a good mood, I told her about it, and maybe she would say yes as soon as she was happy. ”

"That day our family of four went to the top of the mountain in Sizhou for a picnic, everything was fine, and she was very happy, until I told her about buying insurance, she raised her hand and slapped me, drove away with the two children, and left me alone on the mountain. I really can't figure it out, our garment factory is doing very well, and I can buy a few insurances for my mother with my net income every month, why is her heart so ruthless. It was getting late, and the tent was still on the mountain, so I didn't go down. ”

"I went back to the tent and lay down, still feeling unhappy, so I wanted to walk around the mountain, and when I saw a statue covered with a red cloth and chained, I saw that it was strange, so I stopped and told it about the anguish in my heart all these years, and I didn't realize it when it was dark. It wasn't until I heard a voice talking to me that I was terrified, and after a while I realized that it was the statue that was talking, and that it could help me teach my wife a lesson, if I lifted the red cloth from its head and opened the chain that held it up. ”

"I wasn't very clear at the time, so I didn't think much about it and did it, and the chain was rusty and didn't take much effort to cut it. Later, it talked to me in my ear every day, saying that it was going to kill my wife and my children, and I cried and begged it, but it said that if I saved it, it would repay me, and this was my agreement with it. ”

"I could feel it taking over my body, I was sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious, and it did a lot of things with my body. I was so scared, but I couldn't do anything about it, until that day, I watched it kill my wife and children, and later, later, when it saw you, it liked you very much, and wanted to attach itself to you while you were weak, as it did to me. ”

Yu Youwei was dumbfounded when she heard it, all this was too much for her to know.

Fortunately, Wei Ran grasped the point, "What kind of statue is the statue you are talking about, can you describe it?" ”

Xu Bo nodded, he said too many words in one breath, and he was already a little out of breath, "Yes, he has the face of a monkey, but his body is like a lizard, and his whole body is painted red." ”

Seeing that Xu Bo couldn't support it, Wei Ran hurriedly asked, "Where is Sizhou Mountain?" ”

"West, go up at the foot of the southwest mountain, the first summit." After speaking, Xu Bo lowered his head, and the rune paper on his chest also turned into ashes.

"It's over?" Yu You asked Wei Ran in a low voice.

"Well, he doesn't have much vitality left, and he can support it until he finishes speaking." Wei Ran walked up to the guard and quietly took off the talisman paper.

The police officer seemed to take a big breath, and he didn't feel anything strange at all, he saw Xu Bo hanging his head, opened the door and motioned to the people outside the door to take Xu Bo down, and said to Yu Youwei and Wei Ran while helping Xu Bo up, "Two reporters, Xu Bo has often lost consciousness since yesterday, and I am afraid that he will not be able to accept interviews today." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, then we'll go first." The two said goodbye to the police officers and left the detention center.

Digesting what Xu Bo said just now, Yu Youwei understood the ins and outs of all this, that statue is an evil thing, and now it wants to attach itself to itself, if it succeeds, her fate is likely to be the same as Xu Bo, thinking of this, she looked up at Wei Ran.

Wei Ran was also looking at her, "We need to go to the mountains." ”

"Are you looking for a stone statue?"

"Hmm." Wei Ran nodded, "You need to know its origin before you can formulate a way to deal with it." ”

"But isn't that stone statue dangerous?"

"It has already gone down the mountain with Xu Bo, and the stone statue is probably used by a certain senior to trap it, no matter what, we must know its origin to deal with it, so we have to be fast, if it also thinks that we have to go up the mountain to find the stone statue, it will be a bit dangerous." Wei Ran tilted his head and thought for a while, "But with me, I will protect you, I am the assistant you hired." ”

Hearing the sentence "I will protect you", Yu You was a little moved, no one had ever said this to her, she had taken turns sleeping at several uncles' houses since she was a child, and she knew that she was an outsider in someone else's house, she never expected someone to be good to her, all she could do was be strong and keep working hard. However, Wei Ran's next words made her roll her eyes, and sure enough, people still have to rely on themselves, and Taoist priests can't rely on them.

H City is a typical continental climate, more sunny and less rainy in summer, with plenty of sunshine, climbing the mountain should be a pleasant thing at this time, but Yu Youwei and Wei Ran are like great enemies, and they each brought a lot of life-saving things, so they set off with a huge backpack on their backs.

The process of mountaineering is quite smooth, Wei Ran has been practicing Taoism in the mountains since he was a child, and climbing the mountain is naturally not a problem. Although Yu Youwei is usually very busy, he also insists on running in the morning in order to live longer, and the two people who are still in good physical condition quickly arrived at the area that Xu Bo said.

The vegetation of the mountains in Sishu is dense, and even though it is the height of summer, you can still feel the coolness on the mountain.

Yu Youwei put his backpack on the ground and looked around, there was only a meadow in front of him that was enough for a picnic, and Xu Bo's family should have been here at that time. The surrounding area was full of tall and low trees, which were very dense, forming a kind of encirclement, she felt inexplicably depressed, and looked at Wei Ran.

Wei Ran was obviously more meticulous than she had observed, first walking around the meadow, then observing the mountains and woods from all directions, and finally locking on a direction, "This way." ”

Yu You hurriedly picked up his bag and kept up with Wei Ran.

"Take this." Wei Ran handed Yu Youwei a long wooden stick, "Use this to pluck away the branches, and you won't be scratched." ”

Yu Youwei didn't see when he picked up the stick, he only felt that the little Taoist seemed to be a different person when doing things related to Taoism, and he was no longer as shy as usual, and became confident and determined.

The two of them walked a long way with one foot deep and one foot shallow, until their knees were a little sore, and Yu Youwei remembered that he should ask Xu Bo how big the stone statue was, so he looked for it aimlessly, and he didn't know if he missed it.

Suddenly, Wei Ran stretched out his hand to stop her and motioned for her to look ahead.
