After a few moments, the old lady let go of her palm, stared at me with her eyes, and her tone became a little surprised.

"It's weird, judging from palmistry, your baby can't live to the full moon, how can you steal life in this world for more than 20 years, this is a move against the sky, my wife has survived in the world for thousands of years, and it is the first time I have seen someone like you, is it possible that someone has borrowed Yang Shou from you?"

The old lady's words made me listen to the clouds, and at the moment I didn't have the heart to think about what she said, I just hoped that she could let Li Hai go.

"Grandma, now that you have finished reading my palmistry, can you please let my friend go, although he is straightforward but has a good character, he has never done anything bad, as long as you are willing to let him go, my life is yours." I looked at the old lady and pleaded.

The old lady smiled bitterly when she heard this: "I'm not a heinous bad person, why are you so afraid of me, for the sake of your righteousness, I will spare your friend, and then you take this bottle of potion out, find a cotton swab dipped in the medicine and apply it to his eyelids, three times a day, the red eyes can disappear in two days." ”

As she spoke, the old lady got up and took out a white porcelain vase from the wooden cabinet beside her, handed it to me, took it with both hands, and then put it under her nose and sniffed it.

Although there is a red cloth on the top of the porcelain vase, the smell of medicine is still very strong, and there is a strong aroma of medicinal herbs.

After taking the medicine bottle, I carefully put it in my pocket, and then said to the old lady: "Thank you, grandma, since you have promised to let us go, then I will not disturb you, and I will definitely come to see you if I have the opportunity in the future." ”

I was about to turn away, but just as I turned away, the old lady suddenly grabbed my arm with her withered palm.

In an instant, a cold and piercing feeling hit my arm, and I was shocked, looked back at the old lady, and said, "Grandma, you won't want to go back on your word, will you?" This is a bit disrespectful. ”

The old lady laughed when she heard this, let go of her palm and said: "You baby is really bold, it's the first time I've seen someone dare to talk to me like this, it's just that those who don't know are not guilty, and they don't care about you junior." ”

After speaking, the old lady raised her eyebrows and continued to ask: "Baby, what are you going to do in Haobrim Hutong today, I heard that you are looking for courtyard No. 365, but we do only have 364 households in this alley, and the person you are looking for tells me, maybe I can help you." ”

Hearing this, I was overjoyed, since this old lady has such skills, then she must know the location of Qin Wenhua's house, and then I told the old lady Qin Wenhua's name, but the old lady's face sank after hearing it, and she said in surprise: "What are you looking for that half-human and half-ghost guy?" ”

The old lady's words made my heart tremble, she actually said that Qin Wenhua was half human and half ghost!

I can understand whether Qin Wenhua is a human or a ghost, but what is going on with this half-human and half-ghost, could it be that Qin Wenhua really has a problem, or that he has the same purpose as Chen Xiangming?

The old lady saw that my face was gloomy and bowed her head silently, and said with a dumb smile: "Why didn't the baby speak, are you scared, if I guessed correctly, you came to Qin Wenhua today to solve your doubts, look at the black clouds around you, you must have encountered something unclean in recent days, although this Qin Wenhua is half human and half ghost, he has some Taoism, and you can be regarded as the right medicine for him." ”

After listening to the old lady, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, since Qin Wenhua really has some Taoism, then he should be able to help with my affairs.

It doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost now, and my life doesn't last long anyway, even if he's a ghost.

Thinking of this, I looked at the old lady and asked, "Grandma, since you have heard of Qin Wenhua's name, do you know where he lives?" ”

The old lady did not respond, but stretched out her finger and dipped the tea in the teacup, and then wrote the words 365 on the wooden table.

Seeing this, I was puzzled, the old lady said that there was no courtyard No. 365 in this hat brim alley at all, how can I write this place now, could it be because of my old age and confused thinking?

Just when I was puzzled, the old lady suddenly clicked a dot between 6 and 5, and then said with a smile: "There is indeed no courtyard No. 365 in the hat brim alley, but there is No. 36.5, and the people in the alley call this place a half-room, and Qin Wenhua's kid lives here." ”

Hearing this, I immediately took out the note that Qin Wenhua left for me from my pocket, took a closer look at it through the candlelight, and immediately smiled dumbly.

The old lady is right, the note is indeed not No. 365, there is a dot between 6 and 5, but the ink is lighter, and the handwriting is smaller, so Li Hai and I didn't notice it before.

"Thank you grandma for reminding me, in that case, I'll go find Qin Wenhua now." I looked at the old lady and said respectfully.

"You want to go? I first spared the lives of these two babies, and now I tell you where Qin Wenhua lives, shouldn't you thank me? The old lady frowned and said coldly.

"Thank you, grandma, I will definitely bring melons and fruits to see you when I have the opportunity in the future!"

As I spoke, I bowed to the old lady ninety degrees, and I almost didn't kneel down for her.

This action made the old lady laugh out loud, raised her hand and said, "Melon and fruit snacks? That's something for the dead, I'm not dead, old woman, what are you bringing these things for, okay, I won't embarrass you, as long as you do me a favor, we will be clear. ”

The old lady's words made me a little puzzled, with her skills, why do I still need my help, thinking of the things she was carrying in the basket before, I was suddenly scared into a cold sweat, could it be that she wanted me to help her kill people?

Just as I was guessing, the old lady had called the boy who was playing with the ball next to her.

She gently stroked the boy's head and said: "Baby, although this child is my grandson, but in fact I have no blood relationship, more than 20 years ago he died tragically in the hat brim alley, this matter must have heard of it, he should have been reincarnated, but his head is gone, if he is a crippled body, he can't be reincarnated at all, so I hope you can help him find the lost head, and it will not be in vain for my wife to help you." ”

The old lady's words confirmed my previous suspicion that the boy was indeed the victim of the year, but I could not understand why the old lady did not help to find it, but put the burden on my shoulders instead of helping to find it.

Moreover, more than 20 years have passed since this murder case, and finding this head again is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Puzzled, I told the old lady of my doubts, and the old lady sighed after hearing this, and said that everything in the world has a cause and effect, and there is no cause or effect.

It is indeed not difficult to find the child's head with her ability, but there is no reason that if she gets the fruit, heaven will send retribution, so even in the past 20 years, she has not been able to help the child reincarnate.

"Now I spare your life, and point you to find Qin Wenhua, this is the cause of planting, there must be a cause, you should bear good results when you plant a cause, and the so-called good fruit is to find the child's head, as long as you can help this child reincarnate smoothly, then the account between us will be cleared, if not, I will have to retract the previous decision."

The old lady spoke in a tough tone, as if she was not consulting me, but ordering me.

And she also threatened my and Li Hai's lives, which means that if I can't find the boy's head, then Li Hai and I will still not be able to escape her palms.

Although it is a good thing to help the little boy find his head, I am facing two problems now.

One is that I don't have much to live, and maybe I'll die tonight, and the second is where I'm going to find the boy's head, which has been going for more than twenty years, and maybe the head has already turned into ashes.

I told the old lady of my doubts, and the old lady waved her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, your life is not so short, you will definitely not die tonight, as for the search for the head, although I can't help you with anything, I have a message to give you, as for whether you can extract useful information from it, it depends on your own creation." ”

After speaking, the old lady dipped her hand in the tea and wrote two lines on the wooden table: Looking for nowhere to find, it is early to meet.

Looking at the handwriting on the wooden table, I fell into a deep thought, literally it means that I searched hard but did not find it, but in fact, we have already met, although I understand the meaning of this sentence, but I don't know who the old lady refers to, could it be that the whereabouts of the boy's head are related to someone I know or have seen?

"Baby, I am afraid of being punished by God if I leak the secret of heaven, I can only say so much about my wife, I hope you can help my grandson find his head as soon as possible, so that he can be reincarnated, it is not too early now, the kid surnamed Qin is estimated to have also driven back, hurry up and find him." The old lady looked at me and said kindly.

Now that the old lady has ordered me to stay longer, but I still have one thing I haven't figured out before leaving, that is, what is in the old lady's vegetable basket, and the blood keeps dripping from the vegetable basket before, I suspect that it is human flesh, but after talking to this old lady for so long, I don't think she is like an evil ghost, and my heart is even more curious.

"Grandma, I have one more thing I want to ask you before leaving, when you came back earlier, you carried a vegetable basket on your arm, what was in it, was it human flesh?" I boldly looked at the old lady and asked.

"Human flesh tastes sour, I don't like to eat it, wife, since you are curious, then come with me to have a look." With that, the old lady got up and led me in the direction of the cooker.

When she got to the cooking utensils, the old lady put the basket on the floor and put it on the board, then looked at me and said, "Now that the basket is in front of you, if you want to know what's inside, just lift it up and see for yourself." ”
