I looked at Lu Fei, and he was very smart. He understood what I meant and whispered, "Wang Zijun and I will go to their house and find some hair of the child."
The two of them were arguing quietly and sneaked into the village. Qu Mo and I smiled at each other and shook our heads. What a funny couple.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, I heard a commotion in the village, and then I saw a group of people pushing Lu Fei and Wang Zijun, stumbling out of the village. When I approached them, I learned that they had failed to steal something and were caught by the group heading south of the village. Mr. Luo took advantage of the situation and falsely accused us of stealing the child. He said I was the culprit, and brought Lu Fei and Wang Zijun here.
Facing the crying and cursing of Xiao Chengcheng's family and the angry glares from the villagers, I smiled slightly, looked at Mr. Luo and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Luo, you still owe me three kowtows."
Mr. Luo's face turned red: "Stop talking nonsense, you still owe me eight kowtows."
Shit, since no one else knew about this and there was no one to testify, this bastard was just turning the tables.
I nodded and said, "Okay, you said I stole Xiao Chengcheng, where is he hiding now?"
Mr. Luo was stunned and said, "You stole the child and hid him, why are you asking me?"
"Otherwise, how will it show that you are good at fortune-telling?" I chuckled.
The bastard touched his chin, rolled his eyes and said, "Well, I can only figure out that you stole it, but I can't figure out where you hid it."
I sneered and said, "Since you can't figure out where they are hiding, why are you still running around with them? Isn't that just fooling everyone?"
Everyone thought what I said made sense. It was indeed suspicious that Mr. Luo didn't tell us that we had stolen the child when he first saw us, but pointed us to the south of the village.
Seeing that everyone was suspicious of him, Mr. Luo quickly tried to save the situation: "Didn't I just figure out that the child was stolen by you?"
Qu Mo laughed and said, "Then you calculated that it was in the north of the village, then calculated that it was in the south of the village, and then you calculated that we stole it. Which result is correct?"
Mr. Luo was speechless for a moment, and everyone came to their senses. Someone shouted, "Yeah, you talked about it from one side to the other, and then you said it was stolen. You confused us all."
I thought to myself that my buddy had a trump card, so I said to Mr. Luo, "Why don't we go to the police station? If they find out that I didn't steal the child, then you'll be making a false accusation and will be sued."
When Mr. Luo heard that he was going to be sued, his facial muscles twitched with fear, and he laughed, "Yes, yes, I calculated it wrong, it should still be in the south of the village."
Everyone looked at each other, all with an expression of indignation on their faces. He was running around in the middle of the night, clearly trying to sneak away from everyone.
I told everyone, "I have a plan now. Let's see if I can find the child. If you can't find the child, please don't blame me."
Everyone responded and said that they didn't blame him, as long as he didn't try to sneak them away again, they were scared of being sneaked away by Mr. Luo for half the night. Chengcheng's mother cried like a tearful person and was supported by others. His father, a young man in his twenties, came over and said that as long as the child was found, he would give him any money he wanted.
I smiled and said, "I don't want money. We are all from the same village. I'm just helping you." I turned around and asked Lu Fei if he had got the child's hair.
Lu Fei handed me a short hair that he found on the blanket that wrapped the child. I asked him to take out a piece of paper to cover the compass, wrap the hair around his finger, and then recite the soul-searching spell.
"Humph, I don't believe you can find the child this way." Mr. Luo said with a sneer.
Damn, it looks like this bastard wants to bet with me again. Although I'm not sure this time, I can't lose to him. I sneered and said, "How about we make another bet?"
"Let's fight, who's afraid of who?" Mr. Luo puffed out his chest, looking very unconvinced, as if his last loss to me was an accident.
"Well, let's do it the same as before. If I lose, I will kowtow to you eight times. If you lose, you only need to kowtow three times."
"How can I take advantage of you? I will also kowtow eight times even if I lose." This bastard seemed to need to behave more generously in front of so many people.
I thought to myself, just wait for me to kowtow, so I chanted the soul-searching spell and started moving my fingers along the hair on the paper!
