We returned to Gui Village before dawn.
Although this battle ended in a draw, we had the upper hand because we forced the other side to destroy the corpse well and burn the house, but we didn't gain any benefits. I feel that this time with Qu Mo, everything went much more smoothly, unlike before when we were always tied up and led by the other side. Although I didn't gain any benefits, I didn't feel aggrieved.
Although we failed to help Gui Village solve the corpse theft case, these bastards will not harass Gui Village again. We still did a good thing for the villagers. But no one believes this kind of good thing. We are used to doing good things without leaving a name, so we don't have so many complaints.
Next, we have to concentrate on calling back the soul. When I thought of Shen Bing, the thorn in my heart pierced deeper.
We had just parked the car outside Yangxian Temple and were about to take a nap, but Zhen Yuchun was waiting nearby and ran over to knock on the car door in a panic.
I opened the door and asked what happened
The old man said anxiously: "Nephew, where did you go last night? You almost scared us to death!"
I said, "Don't be impatient, take your time."
Zhen Yuchun told us with a horrified face: "Last night the whole village was filled with ghosts howling and wailing. Everyone heard it. Someone secretly climbed up the wall and looked out, and saw a large group of ghosts crying and walking out of the village. Later, there was an explosion at the entrance of the village, but no one dared to go out. When we arrived at the entrance of the village in the morning, we found that the hot spring pool had been blown up, and the rubble and mud had blocked the spring, and no water was coming out anymore!"
We didn't notice this and immediately followed the old man out of the village. The hot spring pool didn't have any damage on the outside, but the inside had collapsed, forming a deep pit. The spring was blocked and the water had dried up, leaving only the smell of formalin.
I told Zhen Yuchun that the explosion might be caused by a lack of water underground, which is similar to an earthquake. The old man nodded in confusion and asked about the ghosts. I said there were too many wronged souls around the village, and they might have been taken to the underworld by the ghost messenger last night. This is a good thing, and I don't have to worry about ghosts anymore.
Zhen Yuchun kept nodding his head as I said this. In fact, this was all nonsense to fool the old man. How could there be a lack of water underground? It was obviously those bastards who blew up the pond. And this group of wild ghosts, probably they are in a corner of the village. Ren Village was defeated last night, and they may have evacuated as a whole, so they took the wild ghosts with them.
But this is indeed a good thing, Gui Village will be peaceful from now on.
When we walked back to the village, we found a group of people standing in the village talking about it. We didn't dare to go over there for fear of being "discriminated against." Zhen Yuchun went over there to get information, and came back not long after to tell us that Liu Datou's family of six who lived behind the village were all killed, especially his daughter, who died in a tragic way. I heard that she was naked and her eyes were gouged out. It was simply horrible.
When we heard this, we were all filled with righteous indignation. Lu Fei and Wang Zijun wanted to go to the back of the village to take a look. I told them that we should avoid it for the time being because someone had died here and the police would be here soon. We were too conspicuous as outsiders and might be mistaken for murder suspects.
The old man also said: "Yes, yes, you should hide first. Just now everyone thought it was you who did it."
We drove out of the village, thinking that we might run into a police car if we went to the city, so we decided to go back to Ren Village to take shelter. This is a famous ghost village, and the police should not come here to chase us. So we returned to Ren Village and drove directly into the village. When we got off the car, we saw the five houses, still emitting smoke, and had been burned to a pile of ruins.
I let them sleep while I stood guard at the entrance of the village. If a police car came, I would let Qu Mo pretend to be a ghost to scare them away. This was a last resort. Escape was not an option. The only option was to let the police issue a wanted notice. If they saw a ghost, I'm afraid they would never think of issuing a wanted notice for us even if they were beaten to death.
Ma Yunxi suddenly smiled and said, "In fact, they were both sleeping last night and only woke up when you called."
My eyes widened immediately, and Qu Mo looked at them both with a bad expression.
"Um, Lu, let's go stand guard..."
"Bah, what Lu, that's so ugly." Lu Fei turned around and glared at Wang Zijun, then turned back to us and said with a grin, "We'll go stand guard, you guys go to sleep!"
Damn, they are so shameless. I really want to slap them in the face.
We were sleeping when Lu Fei came to wake us up. The police car really caught up with us. Qu Mo jumped out of the car without saying a word and ran away. Ten minutes later, she came back, clapped her hands and said, "I'm afraid these policemen will never dare to mention the word Rencun again."
Lu Fei stuck out his tongue and asked, "Auntie, what did you do to me?"
"Nothing serious, I just let them see a not-so-good-looking face." Qu Mo said as he leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes.
"Then what?"
"Then of course he turned around and ran away in a panic, driving faster than a rocket!"
After waking up, I couldn't fall asleep again. I was bored, so I took out the compass to search Shen Bing's soul. Shen Bing appeared in Gui Village again. I felt relieved knowing that she didn't leave.
Seeing that I was not sleeping, Lu Fei took out something and handed it to me, saying in a low voice: "Just now when I was peeing, I found this thing in a house. Take a look, isn't it weird?"
It was a white round stick about a foot long and as thick as a child's arm. It felt cold to the touch, but smooth, as if it had been painted. There were holes at both ends, both filled with wooden plugs. It was really weird, and I couldn't tell what it was.
I frowned and said, "It looks like a human leg bone, but bones are not so smooth, unless someone painted it with varnish..."
At this point, I pulled out the cork, and what the hell, it was not a bone, but dried marrow inside. The outside must have been painted with a liquid like paint, but what is this thing used for
"Ah, it's just a human leg bone!"
Lu Fei said this so loudly that it woke up Qu Mo and Ma Yunxi. They both got up from their seats and looked over here with sleepy eyes.
"Where is that empty house? Take me to see it." I jumped out of the car.
Lu Fei took me all the way to the village entrance, to the first house on the left.
Wang Zijun was still guarding here at this time. When he saw Lu Fei coming back, he gritted his teeth and said, "You kid has been gone for a long time and has not come back. This is seriously disorganized and undisciplined. It's your turn to stand guard. I'm going back to the car to catch up on some sleep."
Lu Fei raised his head and snorted: "Can't you see we are on duty? Go back to stand guard!"
Damn, what official business? This guy is really good at making excuses.
Entering the yard, there were overgrown weeds everywhere, the door of the house was broken and tilted to one side, and the windows were covered with cobwebs.
Lu Fei said he saw the bones in the house, and I walked in. It was gloomy and chilly. I thought to myself that there must be an evil spirit that has been here recently, and there is still some evil spirit left. I looked down and saw a few drops of sticky liquid on the ground, and bent down to take a look.
He took out a golden talisman and recited a spell. After the burning talisman fire passed over it, the few drops of liquid mysteriously disappeared!
