But I'm not a particular person, so I didn't continue asking. Later, I was really bored, so I said to Chen Lei: "Brother Chen, tell me what kind of weird magic is in your village, so that I can have a countermeasure first."
Chen Lei is not so opposed to me calling him Brother Chen now. He probably thinks I am a good person. He said, "The story has to start from the past."
It turns out that the village where Chen Lei lives is called Hongye Village. It is a small village isolated from the world. Except for a few villagers working outside, most people still stay in the village and live a primitive life. There was originally a young couple in the village. The man was called Hong Chengzhe and the woman was called Xiangfang. They were a perfect match, talented and beautiful, and they were in love with each other. They were also childhood sweethearts. Both parents agreed to their relationship and they were engaged, planning to let them get married when they were about 20 years old.
But when Hong Sung-cheol was about 20 years old, he said he wanted to go out to work, saying that he wanted to earn money so that he could get married. Originally, his parents wanted to let them get married and then let Hong Sung-ze go out to work, but Hong Sung-ze said that he wanted to earn money first and then get married. He was also very stubborn, and his parents had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, Xiangxiang also understood him and asked him to come back earlier.
After she went out, she often corresponded with her family and Xiangfang at the beginning, but as time passed, the letters became less and less frequent, from one letter every half a month to no letter in three or four months. Xiangfang always comforted herself that Hong Chengze was too busy and had no time. However, two years later, when Hong Chengzhe came back, he brought back a charming city woman and said that he wanted to cancel the engagement with Xiangfang.
At that time, both parents disagreed, but Hong Chengze was very stubborn. In the end, there was no choice but to let Hong Chengze and Xiangxiang get engaged.
Xiangxiang was so angry that she jumped into the water and committed suicide at night when everyone was asleep. When everyone found her, she was already dead. What was even more horrifying was that her eyes were wide open, and everyone who saw her felt a chill. At that time, the elders in the village suggested burning Xiangxiang's body to seek peace, but other people in the village disagreed because the village never cremated it. There was no such rule. Although the elders in the village had some prestige, everyone still disagreed. In the end, everyone had to find a master to find a place with good feng shui on the mountain and simply buried Xiangxiang's body.
Hong Chengze was also surprised when he heard about this, but except for taking a look at it at the beginning, he never asked about it. But just when everyone thought that this matter would just pass, something else happened.
"What's the matter?" I nodded and asked.
"One day, Hong Chengze was wandering outside at night, and that bastard actually said that he saw Xiangxiang wearing a white dress outside the house looking at him." Chen Lei said indignantly, "Who told him to find bad women in the city and force my sister Xiaoxiang to death? Even if he died, it was what he deserved. Then he started to be in a trance."
I paused for a moment and asked, "Well, do you want me to go and help him today?"
"No, if it was that bastard, I would not trouble you, police comrade, even if he was dead, mainly." Chen Lei paused at this time.
"What is it?" I asked.
"The main thing is that many people in our village have seen Xiaoxiang at night." Chen Lei hesitated and said, "And the frequency of her appearances has increased. At first, everyone thought she was just seeking revenge on Hong Chengze, but she didn't expect to affect other people as well."
"What? No way, it happened so long ago?" I asked puzzledly. Actually, for me, this kind of thing is very common and I'm not surprised by it anymore.
"It's been about half a year since Xiaoxiang's death."
"Oh my god, why are you only trying to deal with it now? You know, if you delay for one more day, the people in your village will be in more danger. Who knows what kind of evil spirit your little sister Xiaoxiang has turned into."
"We have looked for many masters before, but their fees were too expensive. We originally wanted to pool our money to hire one, but then we found out that the government has a department that specializes in dealing with such strange things, so I went to report the situation, and the government people are really nice people." Chen Lei said with a silly smile.
When I heard this, I shook my head. Chen Lei was just too naive, as naive as a bottle of Nongfu Spring.
"Okay, stop talking. I'll go and help you when the time comes. Don't say that the government is good. I'm not helping you entirely because of the government." I said. I was telling the truth. If the government didn't pay me, I wouldn't bother to help them catch ghosts.
To put it bluntly, I just do things for money. I feel that this is of the same nature as Cui Zuofei's Fu Ze Tang, except that the backstage is different and our identities are also different.
In Fukuzawa Hall, his identity is a charlatan who promotes feudal superstition. On the contrary, in the supernatural incident investigation team, his identity is a police officer and his benefits are pretty good.
I didn’t say much to Chen Lei afterwards, mainly because we were almost at the town. After waiting for about twenty minutes, the car slowly drove into the town.
This small town is called Meishan Town, and it is located at the foot of Meishan Mountain. I just found out that the mountain where Chen Lei’s village is located is at the foot of Meishan Mountain.
When we got to the town, Chen Lei took me to a shabby-looking restaurant and yelled at the owner who was playing poker inside: "Boss, bring us some delicious dishes."
The boss looked to be in his early thirties and seemed to be familiar with Chen Lei. When he saw me, he came up to me and said jokingly, "Little Lei, who is this handsome boy from? I remember that he doesn't seem to be from your village."
"It's none of your business. Boss, stop nagging and just go and serve the food." Chen Lei seemed to be familiar with everyone around him and was greeting everyone. This small town gave me a feeling of peace.
The boss was very quick and brought three side dishes in a short while. I asked Chen Lei and he said he didn't drink. I handed him a bottle of wine, but I couldn't do anything about it, so I said to the boss, "Brother, come sit down and have a drink together."
The boss was a little embarrassed at first, but then he looked around and saw that there were really no customers in the store, so he didn't refuse. He sat down, opened a beer and asked casually, "Young man, are you here to climb the mountain?"
I thought about it and decided that it would be better not to tell anyone about catching ghosts, so I nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to go to this Charm Mountain to have a look."
"Haha, this Meishan is not a fun place." The boss shook his head and said, "Since you are pleasing to my eye, I will tell you today that, in fact, this Meishan is very evil."
I immediately became interested when I heard it, and asked, "Brother, what is this magic trick of Charm Mountain?"
"Do you know why this mountain is called Meishan?"
I was upset when I heard this. I know why you said it, but now we are on someone else's territory. If you dare to offend someone here, let alone the police, even if it's the emperor, they will just tear you up and bury you, and no one will know about you. So it's always good to be polite: "Haha, I really don't know about this, big brother, can you tell me about it?"
