"Why, do you know Mr. Liu?" The village chief suddenly looked at me warily and asked.
"No, isn't it true that those hermits generally don't get married, hehe." I answered pretending to be stupid. I really didn't know what the village chief was hiding and why he was so careful.
The village chief heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what I said, and said, "Those hermits are not as detached from the world as you imagine. They are also human beings with flesh and blood. How can they not get married?" After that, he sighed and said, "In fact, Mr. Liu is also a very pitiful person. He learned the art of hexagrams and fortune-telling since he was a child. But you have to know that it is already a skill of knowing the past and the future, and the price is naturally very high."
"What is the price?" I asked, following the village chief's words.
"The price is your own life. Fortune telling for others will shorten your life." said the village chief.
When I heard this, I thought to myself, isn’t it just a shortened life? I honestly feel that compared to such a god-level ability as knowing the past and the future, this price is really insignificant.
The village chief seemed to have seen through my thoughts, and he smiled and said, "Young man, Mr. Liu's calculations are equivalent to one year of life. You can calculate how many times he can calculate."
When I heard this, my forehead was full of black lines. Chen Lei also said at this time: "Village Chief is not right. According to your description, he must be at least 40 years old. Didn't he count how many times he had done it? That's not right either. If the number of times is too small, he can't have such a big reputation."
"I don't know about that. Anyway, he seems to be alive now, but we haven't been in touch for more than ten years. Well, let's not talk about that forest anymore." The village chief changed the subject directly.
I nodded. Just these pieces of information have brought me a lot. I didn't expect that my master had such ability. However, the price was really high. No wonder my master never let me touch fortune-telling books since I was a child and only let me learn the art of talismans.
"What's so strange about this forest? Police officer, do you have any idea?" the village chief asked me.
I frowned. To be honest, I really don't know. Is there any powerful demon or ghost there? But it doesn't seem like it. It can suppress evil. But no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like a good place. Instead, it is a very dangerous place. Why did the master choose this place to seal the ghost baby? It's really strange.
"Village chief, think carefully about what your Mr. Liu said. He should have explained something after being sealed." I asked the village chief. My only hope now is to rely on the method left by my master. That way it will be easy to deal with.
"Wait, let me think about it." The village chief dragged his chin and thought about it, but he didn't say anything after thinking for a long time. Finally, he said, "I really can't remember it. Give me some time to think about it. After all, it happened more than ten years ago. I will tell you as soon as I remember it."
I nodded and shrugged my shoulders helplessly. Alas, there is really nothing we can do now. I have seen that forest, and it is very dangerous with a strong negative energy. If these villagers get close to it, they may lose their lives.
"Village chief, during this period of time, tell the villagers not to go to the place where Xiaoxiang was buried. It's very dangerous there." I said to the village chief. The village chief nodded and closed his eyes to rest. Chen Lei and I also said hello to the village chief and left the house. Now we can only wait for reinforcements. I hope Liu Peng can trick Bian Rui to come. That way, it will be helpful. If Fang Peng comes alone, they will probably have to collect more bodies.
I stayed at Chen Lei's house for the past two days. When I had nothing to do, I would go up the mountain to breathe some fresh air. The weather, mountains and flowers here were really good. These days were pretty good, but it was a pity that they passed too quickly. The reinforcements came at noon on the third day. To my surprise, it was Bian Rui.
At this time, Bian Rui was dressed very fashionably, wearing a pair of Tyrannosaurus sunglasses, and a bunch of cosmetics and other things. Anyway, she had a lot of luggage. She was standing at the entrance of the village. A villager in the town brought her back, but the villager kept vomiting after returning. Everyone asked him what happened. Bian Rui said: "I met a few monkeys on the road. Their methods were a bit cruel, so he couldn't stand it."
I broke out in cold sweats after hearing this. It seems that Bian Rui and the others also encountered the charm monkey. However, I was not sweating because of their encounter with the charm monkey. I felt sorry for the charm monkey for meeting her. I have seen how cruel Bian Rui is. I was basically defeated whenever I fought with her, let alone those skinny monkeys.
Looking at the guy who was still squatting on the ground vomiting, I felt how cruel Bian Rui's methods must be to make a grown man become like this.
But this was just a small episode when Bian Rui came to the village. Bian Rui also lived in Chen Lei's house, which made countless men envy Chen Lei. You know, Bian Rui is a standard beauty, which is actually rare in the city, not to mention this small village full of aunts. Those men drooled when they saw Bian Rui. When they heard that Bian Rui was looking for a place to sleep, they all rushed to let Bian Rui live in their homes, but Bian Rui didn't even look at them and followed me to Chen Lei's house.
"Tell me what the situation is now." Bian Rui said coldly. She is actually like this, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she speaks very fiercely, she actually has a good heart.
"We're in some trouble now, mainly because there's a very strange forest," I said.
"It's useless. We can't even get rid of a single forest. We have to ask for outside help." Bian Rui said seriously, resting her chin on her hand.
Fuck, what I just said, don’t take what I said about Bian Rui being a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart seriously. Now I think she is just a stingy and arrogant little girl.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome. Go find out what's going on in that forest and then teach me a lesson. Let's go there now. I really don't believe it." After saying that, I pulled Bian Rui out of the door. Chen Lei didn't follow us. He thought Bian Rui and I were a young couple and wanted to go out and enjoy some time alone.
As soon as she went out, Bian Rui walked towards the woods.
"Sister Bian, please wait for me. I haven't told you the direction yet. Don't get lost." I said while chasing from behind.
"Do I need you to tell me? There's a lot of negative energy over there, and you can tell there's something wrong at first glance. This is common sense, okay?" Bian Rui said unhappily.
"Common sense?" I heard Bian Rui say this, and immediately took out the cow's tears and wiped my eyes, looking towards the woods, and was suddenly shocked. I wiped it, the sky above the woods has turned gray, and there is a trend of continuous spread, but the speed is very slow. "No, this, it was not like this three days ago." I scratched my head and looked at the woods and said.
"Just because it wasn't like this three days ago doesn't mean it won't be like this three days later. Don't you usually observe this direction?" Bian Rui covered her forehead and then whispered, "I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm just afraid of pig-like teammates."
When I heard this, I thought, no matter how incompetent I am, I cannot be insulted like this. As the saying goes: A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.
"Bian Rui, what did you say? Say it again if you have the guts." I said in a mosquito-like voice. I sincerely hoped that Bian Rui didn't hear what I said, otherwise I would have to beat her up again. But if she didn't hear it, I had already said the polite words, so it wouldn't be embarrassing and I would have saved face. This was the best result I hoped for.
But who knew that Bian Rui would turn around and stare at me and said word by word: "I said you are a pig-like teammate!" After that, she turned around and continued walking.
"Even teammates who act like pigs can sometimes save you." I said loudly from behind.
"Then I will wait for that day to come. I hope others won't have to wait as long as I do, although time has no meaning to me." Bian Rui said with a smile.
Oh my god, this girl is so disrespectful.
