Chapter 139: The Return (5)
The old man had a rusty bucket in his hand, which looked to be some years old, and he didn't know where he got it.
"Why are there still children hanging around outside at this time? Hurry, get out of here first. The old man who fetched the water glanced at Wu Sin, and then said with a change of expression. He looked at Wu Sin's smart eyes and chose to believe that this was a human being, not a ghost.
"Hey, uncle, slow down!"
As Wu Sin spoke, he was pulled by the old man and ran all the way forward.
Wu Sin is nothing, but this old man looks very old.
If you accidentally fall, you're in trouble. But after all, this is the road that the old man has walked for decades, although the old man runs fast but is very skillful, and he does not look like he has fallen on his heels, but Wu Sin is too worried.
Soon Wu Sin was dragged by the old man to a small village. The inside of the village looks okay, but there are fewer villagers living here. Many of the gates are locked, and looking at the rust on them, it is estimated that they have not lived here for a long time.
When the old man saw Wu Sin's eyes, he knew what he was thinking in his heart, and only heard him say with a bitter face: "The young ones have fled to the big city, and we old bones are left." This year, even if I fled to the big city, it was just a few days late. β
The old man sighed deeply as he spoke.
The food crisis and the ghost crisis are the two things that all races are most worried about at the moment.
Wu Sin was a little silent after hearing the old man's words, he originally wanted to persuade the old man to go to the big city, after all, there are many spirit detectives there, and it is safer to say no matter what. But later, Wu Sin thought of the current appearance of Y City, and he estimated that other cities would not be much better.
Maybe it's really like what it looks like, even if you go to the big city, it's just a short breath.
As they spoke, the two came to the door of a courtyard.
"Lao Liu, open the door! I'll use your phone!" I saw the old man walk to the gate, knock on the gate and shout into the courtyard.
"Who's coming, coming!"
With the sound of talking, the gate of the courtyard was opened. An old man who was also old and looked to be in his 60s appeared in front of the two.
"Your legs and feet are really not sharp, and it takes a lot of effort to open the door!"
The old man who pulled Wu Sin all the way said to the old man surnamed Liu who opened the door.
"Hey, believe it or not, I'm still chasing you and beating you up!"
The old man surnamed Liu, who opened the door, said with a glare.
"I'm not going to talk to you! you take this kid to the phone first, he looks anxious. The old man who came over with Wu Sin shrunk his neck at this time, and seemed to be a little afraid of what the old man surnamed Liu said about chasing and fighting.
"Hmph, let's go, young man! Now that my phone is useless, fortunately I still have a landline at home, but it doesn't work from time to time. I'll take you to try it!" The old man surnamed Liu snorted at the other old man, and then said to Wu Sin.
"That's so much appreciated. β
Wu Sin hurriedly thanked him, and then followed the old man surnamed Liu into the house.
Inside the room, Wu Sin saw a landline that was still a button. This kind of old landline, Wu Sin has not seen it for a long time. Then he recalled Xiao Anguo's communication signal and pressed the buttons one by one.
"Tut~Thorn~Tut~Tuo~Hey?Which one?"
As a deep-sounding voice sounded, Wu Sin knew that this was the person who helped Xiao Anguo answer the phone. Because there are some strange ghosts that can roam the line, all the high-level telephones in Huaguo are placed in special rooms and answered by special people.
This will prevent goblins from taking the opportunity to invade the upper echelons.
"I'm looking for the minister, I'm Wu Sin!" Wu Sin was very glad that he didn't answer the call because it was not a familiar number. Otherwise, if Wu Sin wanted to contact Xiao Anguo again, it would be very troublesome.
"Wu Sin, if you have something to tell me, I will convey it to the minister. You know the rules!" The operator over there was unmoved, and no one knew if the guy on the other end of the phone was pretending to be a ghost.
"There are two things! First, tell the minister that I have found the person, but there is a slight accident, and I need the help of the research institute, and I will go back and explain it to him in detail.
The second thing is that I am now located in Longquan County, about 50 kilometers west of Y City. All the cars around here are broken, I can't go back anytime soon, can you send a car. β
Wu Sin said to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Y City is no man's land now, and there is a six-star ghost in the city center, so you'd better stay as far away as possible. As for coming back from there...... I'll report back to the minister. The answering man knew what Y City was like now, and while talking to Wu Sin, he also sighed at his luck.
To be able to escape from so many ghosts above five stars, this person is really amazing!γ
"No, no, I saw some underground secret rooms made of gold, and there are still people hidden in them!" Wu Sin said in surprise, although he had only chatted with a few words with the people in one of the secret rooms, but there were really a lot of secret rooms he had seen in Y City!
"Those secret rooms were dropped by the military with planes when there was a problem in Y City. Originally, it was intended to give the people inside a temporary place to take refuge, but when the plan to purge the ghosts of Y City failed, the people who could not evacuate in time stayed there. The operator replied on the other side.
"Y City's plan to cleanse the ghosts? That's ......"
didn't wait for Wu Sin to continue to ask, only to hear the answer man drip twice, and then he said: "The logistics minister is calling, I will tell the minister what you said, please don't leave before this call, I will call back." β
Honk~~~
Let's click~
Wu Sin listened to the busy sound and hung up the phone in his hand.
Then Wu Sin turned around and walked out, and the old man surnamed Liu had already left the room when he called. So he now needs to go over and explain to the old man that he has to wait for another callback.
In the courtyard, the old man surnamed Liu was arguing with the old man who came over with Wu Sin.
"Old man Li, if you don't believe it again, I'll whip you!"
The old man surnamed Liu said, waving the broom in his hand at the old man surnamed Li.
"What's wrong with borrowing you bucket of water!
The old man surnamed Li said that he was about to throw his two buckets into the water tank in the yard, but before he could lift the buckets in the water tank, he was chased all over the yard by the angry old man surnamed Liu with a broom.
"Water thief! You're not ashamed! I'll kill you!"
The old man surnamed Liu scolded and chased after him, and the two old men couldn't tell that they were already old people, and the speed was definitely much faster than some frail and sick young people.
"Dead slam the door!Iron rooster!Just say you're old, can't catch up with me!hahaha~"
The old man surnamed Li seemed to be in better health, and while he ran away, he stopped from time to time to turn around and taunt the old man surnamed Liu behind him. The appearance of being angry and not paying for his life makes people look really angry.
"I'll kill you!"
The old man surnamed Liu, who was in a hurry, suddenly picked up half a brick on the wall of the courtyard and smashed it against the door of the old man surnamed Li. As soon as the brick was taken off, the old man surnamed Liu regretted it, but unfortunately he could only watch the brick smash at the old man surnamed Li.
Just before the brick was about to hit the person, Wu Sin summoned out the chain of conscience and wrapped it around the brick.
"Aren't the two old men just two buckets of water, as for such a big fire? Wu Sin casually put half a brick on the wall of the courtyard, and then persuaded the two old men.
"The running water is long gone! Not long after the power outage, the water is gone. The well in the village has also recently gone wrong, and the water coming out is black, smelly. We had to go outside the village and fetch water from the wells that used to irrigate our crops.
I fetched two buckets of water for 10 miles back and forth, and I have been storing this tank of water for several days, and I have ...... it," the old man surnamed Liu said, his voice gradually lowered, and he also knew that this was not the reason why he almost injured someone.
"Oh, I'm lazy! I'll go fetch water later. The old man surnamed Li said and took out his bucket.
"Two old men, can you take me to see the well in your village now? If it can be repaired, it will save you from running far, and I just need to wait for the call, and I guess I will have to live here for a while." β
Wu Sin said and stopped the old man surnamed Li who was leaving.
Ever since he came to the village, he had always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was. If there was a ghost in the well that suddenly had a problem, he solved the ghost as a reward for borrowing his phone.
Because according to what the old man surnamed Li said, if the mobile phone is useless now, it may really be a long time by the time he finds a phone that can get through.
"Okay, okay, I'll show you. β
When the old man surnamed Li heard this, he didn't expect that he would bring back a capable person, and immediately pulled Wu Sin very enthusiastically to the location of the village well.
The old man surnamed Liu glanced at Wu Sin and saw that he only had a bicycle and did not have any tools on him. It is estimated that even if he really knows how to repair the well, he has nothing to do if he has no tools in this situation!
So the old man surnamed Liu shook his head and followed.
γDead horses should be used as live horse doctors!γ
......
Not long after Wu Sin followed the old man surnamed Li all the way, he smelled a pungent smell. It smelled stinky, like dead pork that had been soaked in a bucket of swill for a long time. After the distance was closer, Wu Sin sensed a trace of resentment energy in the stench.
Sure enough, it's a ghost, and it's just the right thing to solve!γ
Wu Sin covered his face with his sleeve and looked down from the mouth of the well.
The yellow-brown water of the well was gushing at the bottom, and as the bubbles burst, the smell from the inside became stronger.
At this time, a ball of karmic fire flashed in Wu Sin's hands, and in the blink of an eye, the karmic fire formed a fireball slightly smaller than the wellhead. The fireball was directly thrown to the bottom of the well by Wu Sin, and then exploded, and the magnetic energy karmic fire instantly swept the entire bottom of the well.
