Chapter 62: Relapse
As the sun gradually set, a few of us went to a town not far away to eat edamame bean curd, and then Zhang Wanmo packed a raw rice and bought a few sticks of incense.
When it was completely dark, Zhang Wanmo put the rice by the water, lit the incense, and inserted it into the rice.
This is the ghost's favorite thing to eat.
The advantage of this is that the ghosts within a radius of a hundred miles have come, and the sky has cooled down.
The downside is that we don't know which one is the one we're looking for.
"It's okay, Yan Shuang told me the name of the ghost, I'll call it later."
said that it was called, Zhang Wanmo really screamed, and shouted directly at the ghosts who were smoking incense: "Li Guosheng!" ”
The ghosts all looked up at him, and then went back to sucking.
Only one of them, standing upright, looked at us.
Unlike other ghosts, there was actually some faint golden light on its body, and it could be seen that those ordinary ghosts did not dare to approach him.
"You call me?"
He walked over slowly.
It can be vaguely seen that Li Guosheng is wearing a set of military uniforms, but it is not clear when the military uniform is, and he is almost in his thirties, because he has a beard, he can't see the whole picture of his face.
I can only see that his eyes are very bright, and there are many marks of bullets on his upper body.
There was also the color of blood on the clothes.
"You are Li Guosheng?" Zhang Wanmo, who was originally holding a peachwood sword and preparing to exorcise ghosts, put the sword back in his hanging bag.
"Yes."
"It's from Grave Mountain?"
Hearing the three words of Tomb Mountain, Li Guosheng finally changed, a trace of understanding appeared on his face, and then he said: "Yes, I came out of Tomb Mountain, I have been trapped in it for more than 30 years, do you still want to arrest me back?" ”
"Since the feng shui of the Extreme Yin Land has been broken, then there is no reason to go back, and you have merit on your body, why don't you go to reincarnation earlier, but run around in these places? Do you know that this will consume your merits? ”
It turned out that the golden light in Li Guosheng's soul was merit.
"I didn't know it was merit." He looked at his hands, the golden light on them was already very dim, "I just want to come back to see my wife and children, but as a result, thirty years have already been wrong, and I don't know if they are dead or alive." ”
Li Guosheng told us a story.
More than 30 years ago, the cliffs here were full of caves, and a group of bandits gathered here, because the terrain was so steep that no army could completely wipe them out, but because they were on a high place, they fought many victories.
The bandits here do not burn and loot, but a group of peasants who do not have enough to eat and are enslaved by the landlords gather here.
Li Guosheng is their boss.
Then, not long after, a powerful figure came to the army and set a trap for the bandits to be captured in one fell swoop.
But this character did not say that he would kill them, but that in order to atone for their sins, he would go to war as soldiers.
At that time, Li Guosheng's wife had just given birth to a son, and if it weren't for the brothers in the village and the newborn son, they would not have been arrested this time.
Now there is no way, if you don't go to war, the whole village will be arrested and put in prison.
Therefore, Li Guosheng said goodbye to his wife and son who was only two months old, and went to join the army to fight, but he didn't come back.
By the time he came back again, it was already empty.
The current cliff caves, the bumps that can pass like rock climbing in the past, have long been blown away by the wind and sun.
Fortunately, he is a ghost and does not need to climb.
The cave was also a mess, and you could see how rushed it was.
"So, you're not here to get me back, so what are you here for? Anyway, I won't go with you, I'm going to wait here for my wife to come back, we made an appointment, if I come back and can't find them, I'll wait for them in Yadong. ”
"Maybe your wife remarried with a child?" It's been more than 30 years, how can a woman, with a child, survive in troubled times? We just haven't said anything worse yet.
"I haven't come to them for so many years, and it is natural to remarry." I actually saw a lonely look on his face, "Even if I remarry, according to our local customs, she will let her son come back to burn paper for me on the day I leave, and in a few days it will be the thirty-sixth year that I have been out as a soldier and fighting." ”
After speaking, Li Guosheng went back to the cliff without looking back, and did not forget to take the bowl on the ground before leaving.
The wandering ghosts who were still sucking the scent were driven aside by him.
"When I finish my thoughts, I will naturally be reincarnated."
This was the last thing Li Guosheng said to us before leaving.
"It seems that we only have to wait here for a few days."
As soon as Zhang Wanmo's words fell, my head was dizzy, and I just wanted to find a hotel to lie on the bed with the air conditioner on.
It's a pity that there is not even a decent hotel in this town, it is all farm stays, and there is only a big ceiling fan and no air conditioning.
I watched the ceiling fan above my head spin around, and the mattress under me was already sleeping with a human-shaped sweat stain.
"It's okay star, we're like that here, it's hot, but there may be thundershowers tomorrow, and then it'll be cool to disperse the heat in the next moment."
"Hopefully." I don't know how long we're going to be here.
According to Yan Shuyuan and Zhang Wanmo's reasoning, if Li Guosheng's wife and children really wait for him, they will definitely stay somewhere in the town, so that they will go back to burn paper for Li Guosheng every year.
But if his wife and children are gone, then we can't find it, and Li Guosheng won't wait.
So, let's pray now for the former and the best.
Li Guosheng's appearance was directly drawn by Yan Shuyuan with sketches without rest all night, and then made a few copies and sent them to us.
We took the copies and asked around the town.
I don't usually like to talk, but I plucked up my courage.
But at the end of the day, there was still no gain.
The weather was also as Jiang Ke said, there was a shower halfway, which was very heavy, and it still didn't hold on for five minutes.
After the rain, there is an extra layer of moisture in the air, and even this moisture is hot, and it is even more uncomfortable than pure heat.
I thought I would be the first to hold on, but I didn't expect that Jiang Ke was the first to fall.
After Jiang Ke fainted, in order to prevent her from catching a cold, I changed her clothes.
But I noticed that her body began to appear blue and purple again.
Could it be that Jiang Ke has not recovered? Or did Gu Xiao's soul transfer make her condition relapse?
