So I decided to concentrate on solving the problem about Liu Banxian here first, and then ask the old woman to investigate Wanlin's matter with all her strength. I told the fat man to continue to take good care of Taozi, and also try to keep in touch with the mother-in-law, and wait until the matter here is settled.
, then came back to plan the matter of finding Wanlin.
After the phone call, I felt that my tiredness had basically dissipated. I wonder if it was because I heard the news about Wan Lin that I felt a lot of energy surge through my body.
Looking at the dim night outside the window, it seemed that there was a new moon today, so I decided to go down the well again to see what was going on down there.
I have gone back and forth to this ancient well so many times that I almost remembered the general position of the moss on the well wall. I took a rope ladder myself and climbed to the bottom of the well without anyone noticing.
I walked a few steps into it in a familiar way, and found that the coffins were still in place. When I opened the lid, my father's body was still lying in the same place, and the same was true for Liu Banxian's own body. Everything was the same as what I had seen before.
The scene is exactly the same, nothing seems to have changed.
Liu Banxian was indeed lying! This time I was sure of this conclusion. It was already very suspicious when he would choose a highly decomposed corpse to call him my father. Although a long time has passed, in this weather,
It was also in an opaque place underground, so no matter how hard you thought, it was impossible for it to rot to the point where it would even lose its human form.
Although his purpose is still unknown, I feel more and more that he and my father are engaged in an invisible duel. It seems that only by completely eradicating all traces of one party in this world can the final victory be achieved.
I subconsciously looked around again, and then I discovered that the nearby cracks seemed to have moved again. Based on previous experiences, it seemed that they would migrate regularly.
This could not be a phenomenon of natural aging and corrosion, so I decided to continue exploring the cracks to see what secrets there were, but suddenly I heard a strange noise coming from the well!
I quickly stopped all movements, lay down on the wall and listened carefully, and found that the voice was so familiar, as if it was my father calling me, asking me to come up quickly.
Normally, I would probably really believe that it was him, but now I just saw that his body was clearly still well in this coffin. Even if the soul wants to leave the body, there must be someone who comes first, right?
I realized something was wrong, so I took out an evil-killing talisman that I had prepared in my pocket, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The well was still very calm and nothing unusual happened. I took courage and decided to go up to find out. I held the charm in one hand and slowly climbed out of the well along the rope ladder with the other hand, but there was no one outside.
I looked around carefully and found that the familiar female ghost appeared under the locust tree again. She was dressed in white and was singing slowly. She didn't look scary.
When she saw me climbing out of the well, she looked relieved at last. I wanted to go up and ask a few more questions, but she disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.
I looked around, but there was still no one there, so I walked home full of doubts.
The female ghost seemed to be worried that I would encounter something terrible underground, so she called me up, but she didn't want to talk to me anymore, and disappeared without a trace without even leaving any clues.
No trace left.
After these days, I gradually feel that the female ghost that has been haunting me is not so scary. Compared with those people who are constantly plotting against me, overtly or covertly, she is much gentler and quieter, and there are coincidences from time to time.
As if to save me.
I remembered that Liu Yishou once said that the female ghost and I were soul-bonded. The relationship between me and her was extremely close. It could be said that we were closely related. Is it because of this that she did not harm me?
These few times, I became more and more calm when facing the female ghost, so I slowly began to observe her appearance. Although the light and shadow were still blurry and difficult to distinguish, deep sadness and worry could be seen in her face.
They are not like ordinary evil spirits who are either resentful or vicious.
A person who can still have such magnanimity after death must have been an extraordinary person during his lifetime, and maybe he has a deep connection with our village.
It's a pity that I don't have any more clues, and Liu Yishou doesn't know whether he is pretending to be sophisticated or something, but he is still unwilling to talk more about this matter with me.
While thinking about the problem, I tiptoed on the way back. Now is a sensitive period. Everyone knows that there is a treasure worth of ghost relics in the well, but because of fear, I dare not go down the well without Liu Banxian's company, so I also
Try to keep a low profile and not be discovered by others, lest they all come to me and ask for ghost relics.
As I was walking, suddenly a wild dog rushed out in front of me, which shocked me. Because it was a new moon tonight and there was no moonlight, I couldn't see clearly what it was in the dark night, but I just felt that it was a wild dog.
There seems to be something vaguely wrong with the dog.
In other words, the appearance of this dog was a bit strange. I didn’t want to cause any trouble, so I barked a few times like a wild beast, scared the dog away, and hurried home.
I slept very deeply that night, as sweetly as I had not slept in countless years. I had no dreams all night, and at noon the next day, I was woken up by the familiar "Nanlan Palm" again.
I turned on my phone and saw that it was still Fatty. He told me that Taozi had recovered much better. The two of them were very worried about my current situation. I wonder if Liu Banxian might have plotted against me. In addition, Wanlin's matter was revealed, so
He was also eager to discuss future plans with me, so he decided to come to me together.
They arrived in the morning on a long-distance bus. They sent me many text messages on the way, but I didn’t reply to any of them because I fell asleep. Seeing that noon was approaching, I had no choice but to call.
I was very moved after hearing this, and finally felt that I was not a lonely person. Even if Wan Lin was taken away, there were still friends in need who cared about me so much.
After picking them up and getting out of the car, I found that Taozi's health was not as good as she claimed on the phone. She was still very weak. She kept coughing when she was blown by the wind. We had to support her when walking. It was difficult for a fat person to carry her with her so early in the morning.
She came out to catch the car.
Because my house has not been inhabited for a long time, and so many strange things have happened, it is dark and humid, and it raises dust all over the sky when I walk, it is really not suitable for a weak and semi-patient like her to live here.
So I took her and the fat man to the village chief's house. Their room was very spacious and the family was not large. It was cleaned every day. I thought the village chief wouldn't mind.
