When the uncle heard what Chi Zao said, he looked a little hesitant.
Zhai Chuan hurriedly said: "Uncle, we are all college students, not weird people. Let me show you my ID card!"
After saying that, he handed over his ID card.
Qian Mingxuan and others were a little surprised. They didn't expect that he still carried his ID card with him.
However, the uncle believed it after seeing Zhai Chuan's ID card.
"Okay. Come with me."
The village uncle walked in front and led the way.
Chi Zao and others followed behind.
While walking, I chatted and asked my uncle about the situation in the village.
Later I learned that there are still two to three thousand permanent residents in existence.
The main reason is that a camping ground and tourist attractions have been developed near the village, as well as the very spiritual God of Wealth Temple.
Local villagers were brought back from Kyoto to develop the tourism economy in the village.
So there are many foreign cars coming and going here.
It's not that surprising to outsiders.
The village uncle quickly led a few people to Tan Xi's hometown house.
It is an independent old courtyard.
The roof is still tiled, and when you look through the crack in the door, you can see that there are weeds on the ground inside the house.
No one has been back for a long time.
They made a fuss.
Zhai Chuan sat down on the stone steps at the door and sighed: "Now I have begun to suspect that she really ran away."
Qian Mingxuan patted him on the shoulder: "Senior Zhai, don't think too much. Maybe it's just like the police said, he just left temporarily to do business?"
"Yes. Senior Zhai, I don't think you need to make a conclusion so quickly. It should be fine." Ge Jiaxi also reassured.
Dong Yi glanced around and suggested: "We've already come here, why not take a walk around here, maybe we can find something new?"
"etc."
Lu Zifan suddenly spoke up and motioned for everyone to look at a figure walking by the door of the house across the stream, "Do you think that figure looks like Tan Xi?"
When everyone heard this, they quickly looked over.
Zhai Chuan was so excited that he jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly to the other side: "Tan Xi! Lingxi!"
I have called him both his real name and his pen name.
The figure really paused and looked towards them.
However, the distance was too far and Zhai Chuan and others could not see clearly, so they prepared to go there.
Chi Zao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Her eyesight was good, and the moment the figure turned her head, she could see clearly that the face was indeed Tan Xi.
However, when Tan Xi saw them, he immediately covered his face with a mask, turned around, and quickly got into the alley.
Zhai Chuan and Qian Mingxuan, who were both fast runners, chased them hard.
Chi Zao and Lu Zifan followed unhurriedly.
In the end, Tan Xi disappeared.
Zhai Chuan was furious, "What is she hiding from? Is she afraid that I will hold a knife to her neck to press for the manuscript?"
Qian Mingxuan panted and said: "I think she is so skillful in hiding. It seems like she is constantly being chased by editors and readers to push for manuscripts."
Dong Yi was helpless: "She writes and publishes supernatural novels. Although she has many fans, she is not that crazy. But looking at her appearance just now, she was really nervous. When Senior Zhai shouted, she ran faster."
Ge Jiaxi looked at Chi Zao and others: "How about we split up and look for it?"
This village is either big or small.
It is easy to hide someone, but it is much more troublesome to find someone.
They mainly don't know why Tan Xi is hiding.
It's not that easy to find someone.
"I have a solution!"
Qian Mingxuan took out a handful of bills from her bag and smiled: "It's time to show off your super powers!"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhai Chuan looked puzzled.
Chi Zao looked at a group of children playing not far away and said calmly: "Mingxuan wants others to help us find them. There are many children in this village, and they are more familiar with the village than us."
"right!"
Qian Mingxuan immediately snapped her fingers, wishing she could take a sip of Chi Zao right away, "You know me, Xiao Zaozi!"
Ge Jiaxi couldn't laugh or cry: "Did you get the idea from bribing the little girl with information in the community just now?"
"yes!"
Qian Mingxuan took out a few hundred-dollar bills and walked to a convenience store not far away.
There are many children playing in front of the convenience store.
She went to the convenience store and bought a box of snacks and asked Chi Zao and others to come over and help.
as expected.
Snacks are too tempting for children.
When the short-tongued children heard that they were asked to help find someone, they all smiled and said no problem.
Then, a dozen children quickly ran away.
Lu Zifan and Zhai Chuan bought water, handed it to Chi Zao and others, and sat together in front of the convenience store to wait.
The wait lasted for more than half an hour.
The children came back one after another.
But I didn't bring back any good news.
Most of them said no one was there, and some people even ran home to ask their parents, and they all said they had never seen Tan Xi in the photo.
Qian Mingxuan looked disappointed, "That's it?"
Zhai Chuan sighed and stood up, "Forget it, let's search separately one last time. If we really can't find it, we'll go back first."
It's getting dark.
They are not familiar with this village.
If Tan Xi insists on hiding, they won't be able to find him so easily.
After everyone agreed, they dispersed in six directions to look for it.
Chi Zao was walking alone and was sending a message to Long Er, asking him to come over.
As I was walking, I saw a familiar figure flashing right in front of me.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and followed quickly.
When I paused at the corner, I saw Tan Xi walking around looking left and right.
Tan Xi did not notice anyone following him.
She was also holding a rooster in her hand and walking back and forth in the alley.
Chi Zai followed her leisurely. After a while, he saw Tan Xi stopping in front of an old house. After looking at both sides, he opened the door and went in.
When Chi Zao saw her going in, he walked towards the door.
Standing at the door, looking through the crack in the door, he saw Tan Xi entering the back room.
Through the door panel, Tan Xi could be vaguely heard talking to someone.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the rooster struggling as it was being killed...
Chi Zao didn't move.
She released Chen Chuchu and asked her to go in to check the situation.
As soon as Chen Chuchu entered, she floated out and said to Chi Zao: "Sister Yincha, I saw there was a pregnant woman in that woman's house. The pregnant woman's face was deathly pale, she was lying on the bed, her belly was very big, it looked like
She was about to give birth, but she looked like she was about to die... The strange thing was that the pregnant woman vaguely said she wanted to drink water, but the woman didn't give the pregnant woman water, but gave her a bowl of chicken blood... Tsk,
It’s still the blood of a freshly slaughtered rooster, so unlucky!”
Chen Chuchu was extremely disgusted.
The main reason is that they ghosts are more sensitive to the blood of roosters and black dogs, because these bloods have a somewhat restraining effect on them.
After hearing what she said, Chi Zao's eyes darkened a little and asked her, "Is there anything else weird in the house?"
"I didn't see clearly just now, sister Yincha, please wait until I take a look again!"
Chen Chuchu said, grinning at Chi Zao, and quickly got in again.
Chi Zao held his forehead, his face full of helplessness.
But soon, Chen Chuchu came out again and looked at Chi Zao solemnly, "Sister Yincha, that pregnant woman looks like she's about to give birth!"
