I cleaned up the room that was supposed to be the study room and dedicated it to worshiping Lao Xian'er. After taking a bath and feeling clean, I knelt down respectfully in front of Lao Xian'er's desk. I rarely went out to see incense before.
, but after being reminded by Cheng Baize, I felt there was no harm in going out and looking at the fragrance.
And this time we were traveling far away. The most important thing is that I felt something was wrong with the person involved. He must be the old man’s son. When I called him to communicate in the evening, he was hesitant. I asked him what he felt uncomfortable or unhappy about.
He couldn't tell me Ziwu Maoyou. He sounded like a pure farmer and didn't use the Internet. Logically, he couldn't know me. And when I asked him how he found my phone number, he said it was the old man who told me.
He said that what his father passed on to him was leg pain. It was a bit of a fuss no matter how much he thought about it, and it was not like the time he went to Hong Kong. Sister Gui originally said it was quite serious, but
This kind of dirty work is just a trivial matter, right?
Everyone knows that there are a lot of things to do in the southwest. Not to mention that there are generally goddesses in the villages. Even if you look for Qi Tianyou, you won’t look for me. Most of me still hang out in northern cities, not to mention that Baojia Xian’er is a specialty in the northeast.
The people over there believe more in tree gods, or some local voodoo techniques, so it’s not like me, a half-fairy, to do that.
The scent was a bit strong, and it sounded like the big flowers that were ordered during the New Year. I was shocked at first, thinking that the quality of the incense I bought was not good, but then my palms started to heat up. I looked down and saw,
The Tiangang Bagua diagram is looming, I frown slightly, and then look at the incense head. Is this a sign of good luck? It also reminds me that I will gain something from this outing?
"Here are the three immortals. Jiaolong is going to the southeastern part of Guizhou this time. The journey is long and he feels uneasy. I hope that the old immortal will give me more support and protection."
After kowtowing, I sat cross-legged and waited carefully for the incense to burn out before putting it on, and then put it on again, and repeated this process until I felt that there was Qi in my body and it was running comfortably. In fact, Lao Xianer was taboo about changing places.
Just like people, you have to adapt to a new environment for a while, and the same is true for the old fairy, so I will give you a few more words to make the three immortals more familiar with the environment.
After putting on the incense, I felt sleepy. I told Zong Bao to pack up my things before going out and then went back to the house to lie down. I felt my phone ringing, as if it was a text message, but my eyes were heavy and I couldn't open them. I felt like I was sleeping.
He is sleeping, that is, his head is heavy, but his thinking is very clear.
"Girl, girl..."
"Um?"
I opened my eyes in confusion and felt the bedroom door being pushed open. An old man was standing at the door, wearing clean and tidy clothes: "Girl, wake up, girl..."
"uncle?"
I remember that I couldn't see anyone's face clearly when I was down there, but now that he appeared at the door of my bedroom like a big living person, I didn't find it strange, and I was very sure that he was the one I met on Huangquan Road.
Uncle, let's not talk about how he came in, because I have an old Xian'er at home, but I can be sure that he has no malicious intentions, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come in, and his face is no different from that of an ordinary old man.
, he was also dressed very neatly, not the one on Huangquan Road, he must have received the clothes from his children, so I didn’t feel scared at all, I directly propped up my body and looked at him: "Uncle, you are looking for me.
"
He stood at the door and did not move. He looked at me and nodded gently, but there was a hint of pleading in his eyes: "I have something to ask you for help."
"Is it your leg that hurts?" I asked directly: "Where does it hurt and how can I help you?"
He shook his head: "That's not it. After you get off the plane, reverse the car and go to the third hotel at the intersection of Baiyun Street in Nantong County. You will know after you go and stay..."
"Hey, uncle, how did you find me?"
I saw that he was about to turn around after speaking, and I couldn't help but look at him anxiously: "Uncle, don't leave yet."
"Remember, the third store at the intersection of Baiyun Street..."
"Why……"
He just left like that. I was a little anxious, but my body suddenly became too heavy to move. I could only watch him disappear like this. Isn't this mysterious? I only left to ask them what happened or what happened.
Find them and ask them what unfulfilled wishes they have, but they are already here and you just tell them what they wish for. Then I will communicate with their children and it will be over. What do you mean by asking me to stay in some hotel?
I didn't think about this until I was waiting at the airport. While I was waiting for the flight, I called the old man's son. He said that his family lived in a rural area, and the specific address was in Nantong County, where I was going.
In the countryside, as soon as I said I was going to stay in a hotel, he became silent on the phone. After a while, he said "oh" and asked me if his father asked me. I said yes, and he sighed.
He said in a tone that he would go and stay there for two nights first. He waited for my call and reimbursed me for the expenses. This made me confused. I always felt that something was going on here, but I didn’t understand what it was.
Son.
Xiangtou is not bad, but good luck, but the old man must be in trouble when he comes to me. Besides, how can he find me and make sure that I can help him get a straight surgery? I really can’t figure it out!
When I put down my phone, I took a look at the text message. It was sent to me by Xiao Tian. There were only a few words, 'Have you seen the house?'
Zhuo Jing must have asked him to ask, so I immediately replied, 'I'm going on a long trip, we'll talk about it when I get back.'
As soon as I pressed send, I heard someone calling me: "Jiaolong?!"
I raised my eyes and was a little surprised: "Fang Dapeng?"
There were two colleagues beside Fang Dapeng. They were very excited when they saw me. When I saw them taking out their mobile phones, I quickly took out my sunglasses and put them on my face. Fang Dapeng saw the meaning of my move and didn't know to tell his colleagues.
Instead of asking his colleagues to come over, he ran to me: "Jiaolong, where are you going?"
I looked at him and twitched his lips: "Oh, I want to go to the southwest."
"Really? I'm going there too. Which city is it specifically? Is it a flight?" As he said that, he took a look at the ticket in Zong Bao's hand, and his face was full of excitement: "It's really
It’s the same flight! Do you have a place to stay there when you arrive in the afternoon? Let’s live together in the evening. No, no, don’t overthink it. I don’t have any other intentions..."
"I still have to reverse the car to Nantong. I'm not going to the city, I'm going to the countryside."
"I'm going to see something!" Fang Dapeng sat next to me: "The climate over there is relatively humid and cold, so be more careful not to catch a cold."
I quietly moved my position to Zong Bao's side, holding the corner of my mouth and smiling: "Thank you, where are you going, and what program are you exploring."
Fang Dapeng smiled softly: "The mysterious Miao village, we will stay in the city for one night, go to the ancient town the next day, and then go to the village. Not to mention, it's not too far away from you. Our trip this time
The program is cooperating with their local TV station. If you feel that it is inconvenient there, just give me a call."
"thank you."
"Don't be so polite. We are all classmates and we have no relationship." Fang Dapeng looked at me and still smiled, "Well, you are still with your girlfriend."
I nodded: "Well, we have always been good."
"Oh, she seems quite nice. Just be nice. This kind of thing is not easy."
He also nodded and stood up: "Okay, then I'll go to my colleagues first, otherwise they will definitely be curious about you and want to come over to bother you, Jiaolong, call me if you have anything."
"Hey, okay." I responded, looking at him and raising the corners of his mouth: "Thank you."
It wasn't until he left that Zong Bao turned me around with his arm and said, "That guy is actually a pretty good guy, and most people who are brave can't compare to him."
I didn't answer. Fang Dapeng was very particular about not telling anyone about me. My fourth aunt also helped me a lot, but the fact that he had thoughts about me made me uncomfortable. Men like me.
Every woman has an indescribable energy in her body, and what she can’t get is good. If I refuse out loud, I won’t be able to keep it, and they think I’m trying to refuse you, so I might as well just make a ruthless move. I don’t care what happens to him.
Miss me.
I slept all the way on the plane, and Fang Dapeng didn’t come over to say hello. When he left the airport, he called me from a distance, then made a gesture of making a phone call and followed his colleagues. I silently felt that I
Wen Xiaoni's move of calling him over to invite him to dinner was a wise move. This was great because it not only stopped his thoughts, but also prevented him from being friends in the future. It annoyed me and also saved him from wasting his time.
As soon as I stepped out of the airport, I felt cold and cold. It felt the same as when it snowed over there. The wind was not as cold as shaving, but it felt very moist, and the clothes I wore didn't seem to be warm. This feeling
Maybe it had something to do with not adapting to the climate. I took a taxi directly to the bus station and bought two more tickets to Nantong. After two hours, I was done with it.
To be honest, I think the biggest difference between here and the north is that there are many mountains, green trees and good air. I think this place is especially suitable for bringing elderly people when traveling. In addition, some buildings have obvious local characteristics.
, the pace of life is also relatively slow, and my anxious mood along the way has also relaxed a lot with this pace.
Nantong is a small county. From a broad perspective, there are mostly two-story buildings. You can also see some people wearing ethnic minority costumes walking on the street. Although it is different from what you see on TV, it looks a bit simple and ordinary.
It was a little expensive, but it felt really good. I took a taxi and the driver felt very good about me. He didn’t ask for a price randomly. He knew that I was a foreigner and asked me enthusiastically if I wanted to stay in a hotel. I nodded and said,
Just stop at the street corner for me. My distant relative said he would be waiting for me at the third hotel at the street corner.
Who knew that as soon as I finished speaking, the driver laughed, opened his mouth and said, "You want to stay at his house, the boss is a fool."
I didn’t understand for a while: “What do you mean, brother?”
The driver pointed to his head with a smile on his face: "Idiot, there is a problem here, and there is no wife. I am very familiar with it, but the price of that store is not expensive, and the owner who is looking at the store now is a small boss."
, His uncle is the big boss, he is a very powerful figure here and everyone knows him!"
It was quite difficult for me to listen, but I finally understood it. I felt his enthusiasm and couldn't help but nodded: "Thank you, brother."
Zong Bao whispered from the side: "Why did the victim want us to stay in a hotel?"
I shook my head and replied in a low voice: "Who knows, I'm totally stunned."
After getting off the bus and paying the money, Zong Bao and I stood outside and took a look at the hotel's appearance. It was still a two-story building. Since it was called a hotel, it couldn't be too big, and it looked no different from an ordinary hotel from the outside.
, Zong Bao glanced at me and was about to go in: "Come on, go in and warm yourself up."
I stood still and shuddered several times, and an idea suddenly came to my mind: there have been many deaths in this hotel!
My nerves immediately started to tighten, and my thoughts started to pop up. Could it be that this was the reason why the old man asked me to stay in the hotel? But I remember that he left in a car accident. What does it have to do with this hotel? Someone in this hotel hit him?
! Let me go, that doesn’t all fall into the category of criminal investigation, what are you looking for, my Onmyoji!
"Do you want to stay in a hotel?"
Suddenly there was a low sound at the door. I was stunned for a moment and came to my senses. Standing at the door was a man in his thirties. He spoke differently from the driver. His pronunciation of Mandarin was very standard, but the reason why I was stunned was that he
On such a cold day, she was wearing half-sleeves and her arms were exposed. She didn't seem to feel cold at all. Her face was particularly white, her lips were a little purple, and she was thin. She looked a little frail when she wore glasses.
But because she is too white and too thin, she looks a bit like a dummy, which is quite embarrassing.
I nodded and followed Zong Bao in. I watched him sit behind the front desk and said, "ID card."
Zong Bao glanced at me and probably felt something was wrong with him. His whole body was filled with irritation. Who wears half sleeves in the winter? This is not the climate in Sanya!
I gave Zong Bao a look that told him not to think too much. Maybe that was what the driver said when he said he was mentally ill.
He took my ID card and looked at me expressionlessly. To be honest, if you look at it from such a close distance, you will find that his eye sockets are blue, which means that he either stays up late for a long time or is in a poor mental state.
There was a gleam in his eyes, as if he was looking at you from the inside out, making you feel really uncomfortable: "Female?"
I cleared my throat and nodded: "Yeah."
"It's not like that." He muttered silently, then lowered his head and looked at something on the computer: "Did you come here for travel?"
How can you think so clearly when chatting like you have a brain problem?
"Do you still ask these questions when you stay in a hotel?" Zong Bao said next to him. He didn't know whether it was because this man said that I didn't look like a woman or because he looked at me, so his tone was a little unhappy: "Of course we are traveling from this far away.
Got it!"
"There are no more double rooms. A single room costs RMB 80 per night. The deposit for two people is RMB 400."
He opened his mouth indifferently, ignoring Zong Bao's emotions. Zong Bao looked at him and opened his mouth: "Is there a small standard room with two beds?"
"No, if you can't live here, you'll have to pay for it." His voice was low and he looked very sick.
I feel really uncomfortable all over. This man gives me a very strange feeling. You can say it's not normal. He speaks quite fluently. You can say he's normal. What he's wearing and his eyes are not right. There's something wrong about him.
A particularly strong sense of insecurity. This feeling is not like the one at Uncle Li's house where he knew they were all ghosts, but a man-made uneasiness. Although there is no difference in the decoration here, and he is different from the others.
While we were talking, other guests came downstairs, and there was a business license posted on the wall behind the front desk, but I felt like I had entered a den of thieves!
"Are you staying?" Zong Bao's face said that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time this time.
I looked at him, and remembering the old man's appearance, I gritted my teeth and said, "Stay here, stay for one night first and then talk about it."
The man didn't look up. When he took the money from my hand, I suddenly shuddered again, human life! There is a life in his hand!!
I opened my eyes wide. Could it be that he was the one who killed that old man?
"Mom, show someone the room, second floor, 215.216." He said with the handheld desk and then looked at us: "Go upstairs over there, the heating in 215 is being repaired. Madam, I recommend staying in 216."
"thank you."
I opened my mouth and responded, then followed Zong Bao upstairs. After walking a few steps, I felt that he was staring at my back. When I turned around, he was looking at the computer. I moved my shoulders.
What's this? I'm here to do police work!
There was an aunt waiting for us on the second floor. She was dressed quite normally and was very enthusiastic. She showed us the room specifically, and then she told me apologetically that the heater in 215 was blocked and some were not too hot. She asked us to
The one who lives in 215 persisted for a while, and it would be fixed in the evening. Zong Bao's expression was always a little serious. When he was looking at the house, he looked at me in a low voice and said, "I think the way he looks at you is wrong."
He didn't need to say this, I felt it myself, "Let's stay here for a night and see. There's a lot of yin here, and there's something wrong with that man too."
As we were talking in a low voice, the aunt turned back to look at us: "Just call me if you need anything. There is a bathroom inside where you can take a shower. Are you satisfied with the environment? Everything is newly installed. I want to go to the Miao Village."
If you want, you can also ask me to buy tickets for you, it’s cheap.”
I nodded: "Hey, thank you, auntie."
Her smile made me feel better: "You're welcome, are you... a girl?"
I hummed and didn't say much.
"Oh, she's so beautiful. She's so tall. It's so fun. Just call me if you need anything."
As soon as she left, I followed Zong Baodu into room 216. The room was no different from other hotels. It was just a wardrobe, a bed, two chairs, and a TV. I went to the bathroom and took a look. Don't mention the bathroom.
It's quite spacious. I looked around and didn't find anything strange. It's just that there aren't many rooms upstairs, and they're divided into two. One half is used to open a shop, and the other half is used to live in their own home. It has a strong sense of life.
.
"Jiaolong, I think that man is weird."
Zong Bao sat on the bed and glanced at me: "If he doesn't let us live together, something must be wrong. I have a man's intuition. He has thoughts about you."
I laughed loudly: "I also have male intuition, there must be something wrong with him." As I said that, I lowered my voice and looked at him: "He has a life in his hands."
Zong Bao was shocked: "Human life?!"
I nodded: "There is an innocent soul in this hotel. The uncle asked me to make sure something will happen tonight. Let's be prepared."
"How can that man sit here peacefully despite being killed? Besides, the police have to take care of this matter. What if he is a murderer?"
I thought about the man's physique and waved my hand: "It's okay, this is a regular store. He probably wants to hide it from the public. We don't have to be afraid of his physique. Anyway, let's just wait and see what happens tonight. Let's go and have something to eat first.
meal."
When I went downstairs, I found that the man was arguing with his mother. They didn't speak Mandarin this time and I didn't know what they were arguing about. But after a few words of quarrel, I saw that the man started to push the door open and roll around at the door.
His mother put medicine into his mouth with a scared look on his face. I was very frightened, but the neighbors around me looked unfazed, and I could faintly hear someone coming. Besides, the idiot is sick.
The idiot is sick.
It seems that his brain must be abnormal. I thought about it in my mind. Is it because he is crazy and kills people without breaking the law? Or is he driving and hitting people because of his mental problem and not being responsible? But he was very normal when he talked to us.
Yes!
I couldn't figure it out, so I just took a bite and went back. Zong Bao never went back to his room, just lying on the bed watching TV. I went into the bathroom and wanted to wash my hands and do some divination, but when I turned on the faucet, I felt something was wrong.
Someone is looking at me——
I was sure that it was someone looking at me, not those messy things. I raised my eyes and looked at myself in the mirror. This mirror was so big that it almost covered the entire bathroom clearly. I raised my hand and I said, "Oh!"
I knocked on the mirror twice. Something was wrong. It felt like someone was looking straight at me. It was definitely looking straight at me——
‘Dong dong dong’~
There were suddenly two knocks on the door. I calmed down and walked to the door: "Who?"
"it's me."
It's that man!
I didn’t know why I was so nervous, so I opened the door with a slight sigh of relief: “Is something okay?”
He was still wearing half-sleeves, and actually held a very large plush doll in his arms. He also held some disposable toothbrush and shower gel in his hand: "Here are these for you."
I took it and uttered two words: "Thank you."
He didn't respond, but turned around with the doll in his arms expressionlessly. When he turned around, the doll's face rushed towards me. I opened my eyes wide, and I could clearly see tears flowing from the plastic eyes that looked like a stuffed bear!
I rubbed my eyes. Just when I wanted to take a closer look, he turned to the living part of my house. I couldn't help but wonder, what is going on? (To be continued)
