Du Fei and Wang Yufen were both confused as to why they were talking about 'having a baby'.
Chen Fangshi said to Wang Yufen seriously, "He is haunted by evil spirits. By the way, what do you think his name is?"
Wang Yufen quickly replied, "His name is Wang Kun."
Chen Fangshi nodded, "Wang Kun's family must have done something that was detrimental to his moral character, which made him plagued by evil spirits, frail and sick, and his heirs had a hard time..."
Wang Yufen's eyes widened, "What you always said is right, we..." She said and glanced at Du Fei secretly, "We have been married for two years, and he...he...isn't very good at that."
Du Fei curled his lips, "I said, you're almost done. If your grandson is in good health, can he die in two years?"
Chen Fangshi laughed awkwardly and glared at Du Fei, "It's your boy who invited me here today!"
Du Fei said hey, "Yes, everything you said is correct, everything is correct~"
Chen Fangshi had a good time and looked at Wang Yufen with some sympathy: "Girl, you are lucky. Fortunately, he died early."
Wang Yufen is slightly different.
Her mind was not slow to react, and she immediately heard the clues: "You mean, he...he wants to harm me?"
Chen Fangshi hummed, "Did he prepare this place for you alone and no one else knows about it?"
Wang Yufen swallowed, nodded and said, "He...he told me at the beginning that he came to this courtyard with disgrace and directly named me."
Chen Fangshi sneered and said, "Do you think he has good intentions? He wants to trade your life for one of his children. The so-called five-child mother is chasing the soul, whose soul do you think she is chasing? What this evil magic requires is to sacrifice the mother to the child, even if you give up
When you conceive a child and give birth, the child will survive and the mother will die."
Wang Yufen turned pale with fright.
Originally, she had always felt that her relationship with Wang Kun was not bad.
When Wang Kun was alive, he was gentle and considerate to her, not to mention being completely obedient to her.
When Wang Kun died, she was quite sad.
But I didn't expect that all those tears were shed on the dog.
Wang Kun actually wanted her life!
"Master~"
Wang Yufen had mixed feelings in her heart and couldn't help but threw herself on Du Fei and cried loudly.
Chen Fangshi on the side also sighed.
He has seen the ugliness of human nature in his life, but to be honest, this is the first time he has seen anything like this.
As the old saying goes, a couple's favor lasts a hundred days.
This Wang Kun is really crazy for planning his wife.
Du Fei thought of compassion.
Did she know about this situation when she asked Wang Yufen to marry Wang Kun?
If you know, why did she do this? No matter how much she doesn't like Wang Yufen, she is still her apprentice. Even if she gives it to someone else as a cauldron, there must be something in exchange.
If you don't know, what is her purpose in facilitating the marriage between the two? Du Fei thought of this and couldn't help but want to ask Ci Xin what was going on.
Regarding this, it is useless to just make random guesses. It is better to go directly to the person involved.
It just happened to solve Wang Yufen's worry.
Over the years, Wang Yufen has also been resentful of Cixin's insistence on marrying her to Wang Kun.
But this is not a priority.
The most important thing right now is to quickly break this pattern of 'five sons and mothers chasing souls and evil spirits'.
Chen Fangshi said to Wang Yufen, "Pack away any valuable things at home quickly." He looked at Du Fei and said, "If you can trust me, just give it all to him. He has a strong destiny and will not be invaded by evil spirits. After a while,
After you finish processing it here, you can take it back."
Wang Yufen nodded quickly. She now trusted Du Fei very much. She immediately pulled Du Fei into the house and started packing her things.
After a while, a small box was packed.
Here is almost all her property.
After finishing the matter, Du Fei simply sent Wang Yufen to the guest house of their branch to stay.
Originally, Du Fei thought she would insist on staying to see what happened.
But after learning that her former husband actually wanted to use witchcraft to borrow her own life to have a child.
The last trace of concern for the past in Wang Yufen's heart was also cut off.
She was secretly glad that Du Fei was here.
Otherwise, I don't know what to do if she knows this.
But now, with Du Fei, she simply ignored everything and let Du Fei make up his mind.
After arrangements were made, Wang Yufen, Du Fei and Chen Fangshi returned to Lumicang Hutong again.
Facing this empty and somewhat eerie courtyard.
Du Fei's mood was also a bit complicated.
When he and Wang Yufen first started, they thought they could live in this small courtyard for a long time, but they didn't expect that it would become what it is now in just a few months.
Chen Fangshi was certain that the whole family who lived here must have died, and their bones were buried in this courtyard.
"What should we do now? Find the body?" Du Fei asked.
Chen Fangshi said, "I'll mark it out for you later, and then you go to the police and I won't get involved."
Du Fei nodded, he knew Chen Fangshi's concerns.
Then he asked, "Do you think... could this matter be related to Ci Xin?"
Chen Fangshi understood what Du Fei meant, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't think so, Ci Xin, how can I put it... Although it is not a serious way, but don't forget her origin."
Du Fei was surprised and said, "What do you mean?
?”
Chen Fangshi explained, "She used to claim to be a descendant of the Qing royal family, but she was an illegitimate daughter who was not accepted into the royal family. Instead, she was particularly concerned about the dignity of the royal family. I put it this way, do you understand?"
Du Fei nodded, "The more you lack something, the more you care about it~"
Chen Fangshi said "hmm" and said, "That's what I mean. Therefore, Ci Xin will generally not go out of her way when doing things. At least, I think she will not do this kind of direct harm to human life."
Du Fei believed Chen Fangshi's judgment more and thought to himself, "If Ci Xin doesn't know, then there must be someone else behind Wang Kun. Moreover, this person is cruel and vicious."
Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help but become a little curious about this 'ex-husband'.
This Wang Kun seems to be becoming more and more mysterious.
Afterwards, Chen Fangshi took out the compass again, found a piece of white paper, and began to write and draw.
After a while, I drew a sketch comparing the courtyard.
On the sketch, I drew a cross star with four points around it, plus the center point, corresponding to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth...
When Chen Fangshi finished the painting, he pointed at the center point and said, "This is where the child is buried."
Du Fei frowned and glanced at the courtyard.
There is the intersection of the 'cross' road paved with red bricks.
There is a water tank half a person's height above. In the summer, Wang Yufen will raise a few goldfish in it.
Now in the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is empty.
"Under the water tank?" Du Fei asked.
While packing his things, Chen Fangshi replied, "It stands to reason, but this is the first time I've encountered this pattern of 'Five Sons and Mothers Chasing Souls'. I really don't dare to vouch for what the situation is."
Du Fei reached out and moved the water tank to the side.
Find a pickaxe and a shovel from the utility room on the side, pry up the bricks on the ground one by one, and then start digging downwards.
At this time, Du Fei's mood was a little complicated.
Although Chen Fangshi was very confident in what he said, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and found nothing down here.
The so-called Wuzimu Soul Chasing Evil is just a nightmare caused by Wang Yufen's neurasthenia, not sleeping well.
Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned.
Du Fei took a shovel and dug down. Logically speaking, the ground in the yard would be thoroughly compacted when building a house.
But where Du Fei was digging, when the shovel reached down, it was half-deep without exerting much force. The soil was very loose, and it was obvious that it had been dug up and then filled back in.
Du Fei's heart sank and he couldn't help but speed up.
Chen Fangshi on the side also had a solemn expression.
After waiting for a few more minutes, a lot of soil had been dug out in the yard. > More than half a meter deep!
Suddenly, Du Fei thrust the shovel down and made a "dang" sound, clearly indicating that he had hit something hard.
The yard that was excavated before was all soil, not many stones.
Now he suddenly encountered something hard, which made Du Fei's heart tremble.
I took a shovel and scraped the side.
Chen Fangshi was on the side, shining a flashlight on it, and could vaguely see a hint of white greasy.
"Be careful, it seems to be made of porcelain." Chen Fangshi reminded.
Du Fei said "Yeah" and started digging to the side.
A circular outline was quickly dug out.
Chen Fangshi took a sweep and swept away some of the floating soil on it. It could be clearly seen that it should be a large blue and white porcelain jar.
The mouth of the jar was sealed with mud and oil paper, and there were very obvious red marks on it, which must have been cinnabar.
Du Fei dug down a few more times, and suddenly there was a "crunch~" sound.
It sounded like sharp claws scratching something hard.
Du Fei was startled, stopped suddenly, took a step back, and looked at each other with Chen Fangshi.
"Did you hear that just now?" Du Fei licked his lips.
Chen Fangshi said "Hmm" "It seems to be inside."
The two of them looked at the half-dug-out porcelain jar again, and they became more and more aware of something evil.
Not to mention Du Fei, even Chen Fangshi, in all his life, has never seen anything buried underground for several years still alive.
Just at this moment, there was another "crunch~" sound.
This time I heard it more clearly than before, it was coming from below.
What's even more shocking is that with this sound, the soil next to the porcelain jar started to stir!
"Fuck~ I have to come out!"
Du Fei immediately took another step back, holding a shovel in one hand on guard, and reaching into his arms with the other hand, ready to take out a gun from his pocket at any time.
But at the next moment, as the soil turned, a rat head with sinister features and sly eyes suddenly emerged.
Du Fei and Chen Fangshi both breathed a sigh of relief. The long-standing fuss was just a false alarm.
Du Fei was speechless. He went up and gave the shovel and sent the blind mouse back to the west.
Then continue digging.
When he dug out most of the porcelain jar, Chen Fangshi beside him narrowed his eyes slightly and almost got down on the ground to take a look.
Seeing his reaction, Du Fei couldn't help but ask, "What else is this jar famous for?"
Chen Fangshi said, "It seems to be Yuan Qinghua."
"Yuan~Qinghua?" Du Fei couldn't help but was stunned, thinking to himself, who the hell is this big dog?
Although Du Fei's knowledge of antiques is limited, who doesn't know about the famous Yuan Qinghua!
