Chapter 171: Locking Spirit Stone
"Mother-in-law, can I ask more, who made you like this?" Fang Du saw the old woman's loving eyes, and knew that she was unwilling to entrust her granddaughter to an outsider, and there must be a last resort.
"What does Childe know?" the old woman's eyes changed slightly, as if she was vigilant. Fang Du said, "Don't tell you from your mother-in-law, when I saw you yesterday, I felt a little strange. Today, my mother-in-law told the truth, which confirmed my thoughts. There are a lot of monsters in Lutai Town that can't be killed, and I think my mother-in-law must have seen them. ”
The old woman's pupils contracted violently, and she stood in the shadows, staring at Fang Du for a long time before she slowly spoke, "Yes, I've seen it." Fang Du was ecstatic and asked, "Where are they now?" the old woman shook her head and said, "I can't tell you that the little girl is still alive, and I can't harm her." With that, she turned around slowly and walked in the direction she came. Fang Dui was in a hurry, and immediately chased after him. But he hadn't taken a few steps before he stopped again.
Just where the old woman had just stood, there was a white handkerchief wrapped in something and thrown there. Fang Duan remembered very clearly, when the old woman was standing here, the ground was clean and there was nothing, could it be that she deliberately left it?
Fang Du hurriedly picked it up and hurried back to the noodle shop. When the little girl saw that her grandmother was gone alone, she was sobbing and crying, and Mi Zhou and Sima Lu tried their best to make her happy, but to no avail. When they saw Fang Du come back, their faces were slightly disappointed.
"Let's go, let's go back now. Fang Duan settled the money and whispered to the man, "If you see the old woman just now, you must keep her and come to me at the mayor's house." A piece of gold ingots flattered the guy, and he agreed again and again.
Xiaoya took Fang Dui's hand and said, "Brother, doesn't grandma want Xiaoya, is it because Xiaoya is not well-behaved?" Fang Dui squatted down and said, "Grandma has something to do, Xiaoya is now living in brother for a few days, grandma will come to pick you up again." There are a lot of delicious snacks at my brother's house, do you want to eat them?"
This child has probably experienced the dilemma of not being able to eat enough for a long time, and when he heard that he had a little heart, he immediately burst into tears and laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good!" The child is innocent, and the dim sum sent by the Hou family looks exquisite and tastes good, and the little girl is very happy to eat. Fang Du asked tentatively, "How old is Xiaoya?" Xiaoya thought about it with her short fingers and said, "Xiaoya is four years old this year!" Fang Dui smiled and nodded, "Where do Xiaoya and Grandma live?"
This time, Xiaoya couldn't answer, she said, "I used to live in the town with my grandmother, but then my father and mother are gone, and my grandmother and I have no place to live." Sometimes we live in a dilapidated house where no one is around, and sometimes we live in a temple. But now, we live in a big, big house. ”
"A big house?" asked Sima Lu, "Is it also in the temple?" The little girl thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, it's just a big house, and there are many people in it." Some of them speak, some don't. ”
Fang Dui's heart moved, and he opened the handkerchief bag left by the old woman, revealing a round and smooth stone inside. To say that it is a stone is not entirely true. Beneath a thin, transparent, hard shell is a flowing cloud of black gas. When Mi Zhou saw this stone, he suddenly changed color.
"This, is this the Lock Spirit Stone?" Mi Zhou "snapped" on Fang Dui's hand dragging the Lock Spirit Stone, the Lock Spirit Stone fell to the ground, and the bones rolled twice, Xiaoya immediately ran over to pick up the Lock Spirit Stone, and blew it carefully, and said to Fang Dui, "Brother, grandma told me that this thing is very important and cannot be lost." If we lose it, we won't be able to go back to that big house!"
"So, can we find those monsters?" Sima Lu jumped so high that he pulled Fang Du and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go quickly!" Fang Du said, "The old woman gave us her lock spirit stone, which means that she can't go back to the big house that Xiao Ya said." So where will she go, what will she do?"
Mi Zhou picked up Xiaoya and asked, "Tell my sister, where will my mother-in-law go?" Seeing the three of them looking nervous, Xiaoya cried out with a "wow", "I, I don't know, what's wrong with grandma, doesn't she want Xiaoya?" Fang Du hurriedly said, "How could grandma not want Xiaoya, Xiaoya, think about it, grandma has taken you to somewhere, brother took you to grandma, okay?"
Xiaoya wiped her crying face, "Grandma, grandma, she often takes me to a big house where no one lives, she said, the person who killed my father and my mother lives there, but there is no one there at all, is grandma lying to me?"
Fang Du immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage, and under the guidance of Xiaoya, he came to a large mansion in the northwest of Lutai Town. When there was still some distance from the mansion, the coachman had a bitter face and begged Fang Du to stop here and not to pass. Fang Du asked, "What, that house is haunted?"
The coachman nodded, "Yes, yes, it's a famous haunted house in town." Everywhere else is haunted at night, and it's not quiet even during the day, and no one dares to approach it. General Fang, the small one persuades you not to go, if there are three long and two short, the small one can't afford it, and there is no way to explain it to the master!"
"I am the general of the border demon suppression who was personally appointed by the Holy Lord, and all the demons and monsters are in front of me, and there is nothing to hide. Alright, let's get off here, you go back first. Fang Du didn't believe that there were any ghosts hidden in this. When the coachman saw that he couldn't persuade them, he didn't dare to go back rashly. So they made a decision, and the coachman waited for them here, and they returned together in two hours.
The door of the house was closed, and the vermilion paint peeled off, and it took a lot of force to push it open. After a shrill "squeak" sound, Fang Du walked in sideways, followed by Mi Zhou and Sima Lu. The shadow wall of the cloister, the rockery lotus pot, the yard is thick with sand and fallen leaves, and the two pomegranate trees in the courtyard have long since withered, leaving only the dry branches swaying in the wind. Fang Du asked Xiaoya, "Did grandma bring you in?" Xiaoya carried the rabbit lamp that Mi Zhou gave her, and said seriously, "No, grandma just watched outside the door, looking at it for a long, long time." ”
Fang Du asked Mi Zhou, "Have you noticed anything unusual?" Mi Zhou said, "It's normal, even more normal than a place where there are living people." Fang Du narrowed his eyes and said, "It's just because it's too normal, so I think it's even more abnormal here." Just like when Hu Er was killed, everything looks too clean, someone must have done it on purpose!"
