Chapter 219: Memory Recovery

Chapter 219

Guo Wei's house was extremely quiet, and the villagers were frightened, but Zhao Fusheng was calm.

At the sound of 'click' footsteps, another bandit dragged his heavy steps, guided by the blood-red line, to the stove.

The crowd held their breath.

Guo Wei had tears in his eyes.

As the second bandit walked to the stove and climbed up to the stove, the same situation happened again.

The bandit's hand passed through the black-red ghost flower conjured up with the power of the ghost, and touched the bacon that was not yet still.

The demonic aura that had not yet escaped in the house reappeared.

'Boom. ’

Inside the hearth, the flames that were about to be extinguished burned red again, and the flames drilled out from all sides of the pot, licking the bottom of the pot.

There was a 'gurgling' boiling sound in the pot, and a large amount of gray-black ghost mist began to appear on the stovetop.

In the mist, a yellow stoneware bowl loomed, and it seemed to contain some kind of object inside.

Guo Wei, who had tears in his eyes, was stunned for a moment when he saw the bowl, and he seemed to remember something.

Zhao Fusheng's gaze was extremely keen.

While staring at the strangeness of the bandits' pulling meat, she was also distracted and concerned about Guo Wei.

At this time, seeing the ghost killing people again, the stove changed, Guo Wei did not react to the flames in the stove and the things stewed in the pot, but when he saw the bowl that appeared out of thin air, his face was strange.

This bizarre bowl could be a key item in solving the ghost case!

She thought for a moment, and suddenly spoke:

"Guo Wei."

Zhao Fusheng shouted, but Guo Wei turned a deaf ear, just looked at the bowl stupidly.

Until Wu Shaochun turned his head and stared at him, glared at him and shouted:

"Guo Wei! Guo Wei! ”

Guo Wei is used to being called by a nickname on weekdays, but at this time, he even listened to Wu Shaochun shouting in a trance, and he didn't react for a while that he was calling himself.

It wasn't until the old man Zhang next to him kicked him several times that he came back to his senses in a daze:

"Great, great—"

"Your Excellency is calling you!" Wu Shaochun said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, yes."

When Guo Wei heard this, his face turned even paler, he dragged his injured arm and turned around, he didn't dare to look in the direction of the stove anymore, and asked obediently:

"If you have something to say, please command."

As he spoke, the second bandit was released from the control of the ghost, and he saw the 'bacon' in front of him, which was a 'rabbit' that seemed to have been smoked black, and his heart was overjoyed:

"Lao Tzu has a blessed mouth today-"

As he spoke, he reached for the flesh.

But the ghost kills again.

Strange rusty red translucent copper flecks appeared on him again, ghostly flames seeping out of his body, burning him to charred in just a few breaths.

The bandit's body quickly curled up on all fours under the ghost flames, and its body shrunk like an air-dried corpse, and soon turned into a piece of 'bacon', which was hung high and entangled with the rest of the 'bacon'.

The disappearance of this human life is only in an instant.

Zhao Fusheng did not look back, but beckoned to Kuai Manzhou:

"Go on."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Guo Wei:

"Did you just remember something?"

Guo Wei witnessed this moment of kung fu, and the two bullies were all killed.

He didn't know if he was scared and panicked, or if he remembered something, and he looked uneasy.

After Zhao Fusheng's voice fell, his eyes were stunned and he didn't make a sound.

"If you don't know what to say, I'll warn you first-"

Zhao Fusheng didn't mind his distraction.

Anyone who encounters such a big change as Guo Wei, and learns that there are ghosts in the house, he and the ghosts live in the same house for a few days, and then witness the ghosts killing people, and it is normal to be frightened.

She showed an unusually ruthless murderous intent against the bandits, but she showed extraordinary patience with Guo Wei:

"There's a bowl on the stove, do you remember that bowl?"

"Remember, remember."

Guo Wei heard the bowl on the stove and shook heavily.

Many memories that had been sealed after being affected by powerful ghosts, at this time, as familiar objects emerged, fragments of memories seemed to flash in his mind.

"What's in that bowl?" Zhao Fusheng asked softly again.

"It's fried corn."

Guo Wei replied.

As soon as he finished saying this answer, the tight strings in Zhao Fusheng's heart relaxed.

At the beginning, when Guo Wei said that he remembered the 'bowl', his expression was erratic, as if he was not very sure about the bowl.

Zhao Fusheng deliberately did not question him, but guided him to recall the things in the bowl and deepen his unstable memory.

At this time, after Guo Wei mentioned fried corn, part of his memory gradually recovered, and his tone was more determined than before.

"Where did the fried corn come from?"

She followed Guo Wei's words and asked again.

Another bandit climbed onto the stove.

As the three lives were harvested by the ghosts, Lin Laoba and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything.

At the same time, the ghost breath in the house was stronger, the ghost fog was filled, and when the flame in the stove was not extinguished, it gradually burned more vigorously.

But although the flames were strong, the temperature in this hut did not rise but fell, and it was a little cold.

The blood on the stove was flowing everywhere, and the bowl on the stove was even clearer, and even Zhao Fusheng could faintly see the fried brown corn in the bowl.

Guo Wei's memories are indeed recovering.

"That day, I bought—"

He received a summons from the town's Master Kong, asking him to help recruit the manpower needed by the county government yamen in Fengmen Village.

In order to let him do things, the eldest lord gave him 800 yuan.

This is a huge amount of money for Guo Wei, and the Guo family is very happy.

The Guo family has been poor for several generations, and the number of people is thin, forming a vicious circle, the more sons and laborers, the more they are bullied, and they can't survive at all.

In Guo Wei's generation, there was only one of his only sons, and after reluctantly marrying a wife, he gave birth to several children and did not support them, leaving only one Guo Sidan.

Accepting Master Kong's mission, the whole family was cornered.

Seeing that this year is approaching the end of the year, and new taxes will have to be collected again next year, there will be no money and no one in the family, and the family may not be able to survive.

This 800 yuan is life-saving money for the whole family.

After taking the money, the four members of the family were very happy.

"On that day in the town, we saw people selling fried corn on the edge of the town."

A bowl of fried corn costs at least three yuan, and in the past, only the rich families, errand servants, and old men in the town could eat, and the poor people could not have such a good taste.

The corn was sweetened, it looked burnt yellow and fragrant, Guo Sidan was still young, and when he passed by the corn stall, his saliva flowed out unconsciously.

"My son has a hard life, he was reincarnated in my family, he was born at such an old age, not to mention eating good food, he can't even fill his stomach."

Guo Wei said in a low voice:

"When I saw that my son was pitiful, I consulted with my mother-in-law and bought him a bowl of fried corn."

When he said this, he couldn't stop crying:

"Four-four-"

He didn't say anything more.

His father, wife and children have all disappeared, and the house is haunted, and after the ghost kills people, the corpse is hung high and made into 'bacon'.

Zhao Fusheng looked at his expression and realized that he might not get any extra clues if he asked further.

"A bowl of fried corn—"

Zhao Fusheng muttered.

This bowl of corn is related to the murder law of the ghost, but because of the memory loss of Guo Wei of the person concerned, the clue is disconnected here, and it is impossible to connect with the ghost.

"My lord, is this the ghost case you mentioned before, the ghost case that happened in Fengmen Village 43 years ago?"

Wu Shaochun asked in a whisper on the side.

Zhao Fusheng immediately raised his head and shook his head slightly:

"It's not."

She already has six or seven points of understanding about this ghost case, and she also has a guess about the identity of the ghost, and everyone has witnessed the ghost's murder method, and the only thing that is still uncertain is how to lure the ghost out and solve this case.

Thinking of this, her heart moved and she looked at Wu Shaochun.

"43 years ago, the ghost case in Fengmen Village was a red shoe ghost case, and the law of ghost murder is that the victim, regardless of men, women, old and young, will have a ten-inch red shoe on his feet."

At this time, the powerful ghost of the Guo family was dormant in the kitchen.

Once a person touches a forbidden object, a fire will suddenly break out in the hearth, and the fire will burn the cauldron, forming a small area of ghosts.

In the ghost domain, there will be another bowl of fried corn.

Those marked by the demons will be scorched and blackened by the fire, their bodies will be doubled and reduced, and they will be made into 'bacon' and hung on the stove, forming a strange sacrifice.

The murder methods and death appearance of the two ghost cases are completely different, and there is no relationship between the two ghosts.

Wu Shaochun looked at Zhao Fusheng, saw that her eyes were slightly bright, and looked at himself with a smile:

"Shaochun, who do you say is the powerful ghost of the Guo family's recovery?"

That's a very clever question.

almost circled the candidate for the revival of the ghost in the Guo family, but he intended to verify Wu Shaochun's reasoning ability.

In fact, there is no need for Zhao Fusheng to ask more, Wu Shaochun himself pondered in his heart for a moment, and as soon as his voice fell, he blurted out:

"It's Guo Wei's Laozi!"

“……”

Guo Wei was stunned.

The others were afraid and silent.

Zhao Fusheng didn't speak, but motioned to Kuai Manzhou to let go again, so that the ghost could not be invisible, and then she looked at Wu Shaochun:

"Why?"

"Guo Wei's Lao Tzu was the first to disappear!"

"Yes."

When Zhao Fusheng heard Wu Shaochun's words, a satisfied smile appeared on his face:

"He disappeared first, and Guo Wei's memory had problems at this time, which proves that after Guo Wei's death, the ghost revived and entrenched in the Guo family."

After the death of Guo's father, Guo Wei lost his memory of his father.

She recalled her previous questioning and mentioned the timing of Guo Wei's report.

He was blackmailed by Li Da Luozi, and his heart became more and more uneasy, and he wanted to go to the town to report the case, so he resigned the business confessed by Kong Youde.

At that time, Guo Wei's original words were: I wanted to ask my father to help me go to the village, say hello to Li Da Luozi, and let the villagers know about this - that is, begging for mercy from the bandits in disguise, hoping that they would spare their lives.

When he turned back to the house, he found that he had lost his wife.

According to him, when he left, Guo Wei was still sitting in the kitchen, preparing meals.

Guo Wei only took a few breaths to walk and turn his head, and when he came back, he only saw an empty stove, the fire was burning in the stove, the water in the pot was boiling, but his wife was gone.

So he hurriedly panicked, rushed to the town yamen with the child in his arms, and had the matter of Guo Wei reporting the case and resigning from the mission mentioned by Pang Zhixian later.

Kong Youde in the town thought that he was just making excuses, and sent a messenger to his house to search, but unexpectedly found that Guo's father was also missing at the same time.

……

According to these clues, Zhao Fusheng said:

"I feel that the key to the problem may lie with Li Da Luozi."

For many days after the incident, she had no ability to trace time, and she did not know what happened at that time, so she could only speculate out of thin air:

"Li Da Luozi learned that Guo Wei was rich, so he came to extort money, clashed with Guo Wei's father, and killed people."

After the death of Guo's father, the ghost was revived.

Judging from the current situation, "Guo Wei, does your father live in this room?" ”

The room was cramped and cramped, and it was next to the kitchen, and there should be a dung pit behind it, and through the thin mud walls, everyone could smell the smell of smoke that stinged their eyes.

The Guo family is poor.

There are four houses in total, one of which has collapsed and is uninhabitable, and the other is slightly neat, and it should be occupied by Guo Wei and his wife.

And there is a grass bed here, on which a few shabby clothes are placed, if Guo's father also lives with his son's family, this must be his place to live.

"yes-my dad lives here-"

Guo Wei lost his soul.

His blood-stained hands were on the ground, his fingers straining, his nails digging into the mud.

Many chaotic memories flashed in his mind, his face turned pale, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

"Dad-Li Da Luozi, yes, he came to ask for money that day, fried corn, he wanted to rob -"

Lin Laoba swallowed his saliva, and watched anxiously as Zhao Fusheng spoke unhurriedly to Guo Wei, and at the same time, another bandit died again at the hands of a powerful ghost.

……

"Since your father lives here, on the day of the incident, when Li Da Luozi came to blackmail you, was your lady also in the kitchen, cooking a fire to prepare food?"

Zhao Fusheng asked again.

She was previously misled by the words of Pang Zhixian, Cao Dazong and others, thinking that Guo's father and Guo's wife disappeared not on the same day.

But at this time, it seems that Li Da Luo's blackmail, Guo's father's death, and Guo's wife being killed by a powerful ghost may all happened at the same time.

It's just that the memory of the person concerned was disturbed by the ghost, and then the incident was forgotten, causing a puzzle.

"I—I don't remember—"

"Think again." Zhao Fusheng said calmly:

"When Li Da Luozi came, your wife was lighting a fire-" When she said this, Guo Wei subconsciously retorted:

"No, it's not, Xiuhe and I went out to greet Third Brother Luo."

His eyes moistened as he spoke.

"—In other words, it was your father who lit the fire at the time." Zhao Fusheng asked calmly.

"Yes, it's my dad." Guo Wei burst into tears and nodded in response.

Wu Shaochun didn't speak, he silently watched and studied on the sidelines, and admired Zhao Fusheng's questioning and reasoning ability.

"The bowl of fried corn was sitting by the stove."

Zhao Fusheng pointed to the bowl of browned fried corn on the stove and asked again.

"Yes, it's there, I've been hungry for four eggs, and my mother-in-law is afraid that he will eat it up soon, so she told him to eat less."

Guo Wei trembled and replied.

"After Li Da Luozi came in, he should have entered the kitchen." Zhao Fusheng looked at him and guided him step by step to recall:

"With Li Da Luozi's banditry, he should want to catch something unceremoniously when he sees it."

This Li Da Luozi doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he is a predator.

After he saw the 'bacon' before he died, he reached out to grab it without saying a word - it can be confirmed from this that when he came to Guo's house that day, if he saw a bowl of fried corn on the stove, he would definitely grab it.

"Yes! Be! Guo Wei suddenly began to cry, and his body trembled like autumn wind and falling leaves:

"Third Brother Luo reached out to serve the bowl, and the four eggs in my family began to cry—"

"Daddy—Daddy—"

As he spoke, he suddenly wailed out in pain:

"Dad, you died so miserably!"
