Tian Lin'er looked at our playful faces with a look of great surprise. She probably didn't expect that I would dig out all the flaws that she thought this miserable experience would cover up and make us ignore. It's not her fault, it's because my buddy has a good memory and is extremely smart. It's not easy to deceive me.
I stared at her and sneered, "Go ahead, tell me the whole truth. It's almost dawn, and I don't have the patience to wait until night."
Shen Bing wrinkled her nose and said to her, "Huh, in fact, you can't even fool me with this. Who doesn't know that the Cao family of Duanlong Village is a master of Feng Shui?" I couldn't help but secretly stick out my tongue when I heard it. Didn't my buddy raise these questions just now? How could you have thought of them? It's hindsight!
Tian Lin'er immediately lowered his head, looking defeated, biting his lower lip and saying, "The Cao family is indeed a Feng Shui master, but the Feng Shui magic is only passed on to the eldest son, not the second son or the cousins. Only the eldest son of the Cao family knows the Feng Shui magic, and that gangster doesn't know anything at all. Many elders in the clan also know nothing about it. The pursuit of our troupe was opposed by the eldest son of the Cao family, so their family refused to help, and these beasts handed my ashes to Bai Daji."
Shen Bing said "Oh" with a look of sudden enlightenment on her face, and obviously believed it.
But my buddy sneered a few times. It sounded like there was no flaw in what she said, but I didn't believe it. She was still lying. I snorted and said, "Even if you make up this lie, there are still two questions. How do you make it up?"
Tian Liner looked at me viciously and said, "It's OK if you don't believe me. Anyway, I'm telling the truth. As for the remaining two questions, they are easy to explain. The person who secretly helped was a man outside the mountain who had learned martial arts. He liked to listen to my singing. That night, he quietly followed behind to escort us. And Bai Daji asked me... what did I see in the holy well when I died that day. Because I saw something strange in the well that day, and I haven't told anyone until now, but they noticed it from my frightened eyes."
I rubbed my nose and thought, you bitch are really good at making up lies, it's a waste if you don't act. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but slap myself on the head, bro, I'm stupid, she is just an actor.
Shen Bing leaned over and whispered to me: "It seems that she is not lying..."
Without waiting for her to finish, I frowned and asked Tian Lin'er, "What did you see in the holy well?" Actually, speaking of the holy well, I am still wondering, if there is an evil spirit living in the well, why is it still called a holy well
"I saw a female ghost who looked exactly like me at the bottom of the well!"
This answer immediately moved and shocked both of us. Shen Bing even jumped up. Damn it, this can't be a coincidence, right? Shen Bing had seen herself in the Soul-Reflecting Well in the ghost town. Tian Lin'er had the same experience as her. So, the three wells in Sanlong Village must be related to the Soul-Reflecting Well!
"Then... did you think of committing suicide after seeing yourself?" Shen Bing asked in astonishment.
Tian Lin'er immediately looked at her with surprise, frowned and said: "How did you know? I really didn't want to live at that time. I thought that I was a lowly actor and was looked down upon by others, so I might as well end it all. Otherwise..." At this point, she suddenly became alert and stopped talking.
"What else?" Shen Bing asked curiously.
Tian Lin'er lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at us. She bit her lip and refused to answer the question.
I chuckled and said, "If that man who knows both martial arts and magic hadn't saved you, you would have jumped into the well a long time ago, right?"
Tian Lin'er shuddered and shook her head hastily: "It's not what you said, it's not. Besides, he only knows martial arts, and doesn't understand Feng Shui."
Although she insisted that it was not the case, her eyes betrayed her and she looked very nervous. It was obvious that she had something to hide.
I sneered, "I didn't say he knew Feng Shui, I was talking about magic, why did you mention Feng Shui?"
When I caught her pigtail, the dead woman's face changed drastically, and she looked at me with a pair of ghostly eyes full of fear, as if she couldn't believe that I could always find faults in her words. And these faults were all fatal loopholes.
"I don't understand what you are saying." She shook her head hurriedly.
I snorted coldly and said, "If you don't understand, let me explain it to you. The person who saved you at the well is the same person who secretly attacked you at Tieyaziling..."
At this point, Tian Liner's whole body trembled again. It seemed that his buddy was right, so he made a bold guess: "This person dared to save you in public at the well. First of all, it shows that he is not afraid of the Cao clan. So he is a member of the Cao clan and is proficient in Feng Shui. Otherwise, it would be a foolish dream for an ordinary person to save someone from the Soul-Revealing Well..."
Tian Lin'er exclaimed, "Huh?" "How...how do you know that's the Soul-Illuminating Well?" The pair of ghost eyes were full of surprise.
Shen Bing was stunned and looked at me with confusion.
I shook my head and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the person who saved you first. After he rescued you, he would definitely be displeased by the Cao clan, but he was the eldest son, and others could do nothing about him. Later, he was afraid that you would be harmed, so when he saw the gangster following your troupe out of the mountains, he also quietly followed behind, and that night he killed his own Cao clan member to save your life. If I'm not mistaken, you ran away together, but in the end you couldn't escape the pursuit of the Cao clan, and died together. It's just that when your ashes were transported back, they were snatched away by Bai Daji, and they were not entrusted to him by the Cao clan. I suspect that you have the secret of the eldest son of the Cao clan, so Bai Daji buried you under the bed and kept questioning you."
Tian Lin'er opened her mouth wide, as if she had seen a ghost. Damn it, she was a ghost, but she looked so surprised. After a long pause, she stammered, "You... you... you are not... a human, you are a ghost!"
"Bah, why are you cursing? You are the ghost!" Shen Bing was unhappy and cursed back.
My eyes flashed coldly, I held Fu Hui's left hand and stretched out a little finger, and said coldly: "It will be dawn in half an hour. If you still don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Tian Lin'er bit her lips tightly, tears falling silently. She looked up at the deep night sky, and finally nodded: "I'll tell you everything, and I won't lie to you again. But you are not allowed to ask me where the thing is."
I was moved. What? There is an unexpected gain? But I agreed first. That thing may not be of much value to us. We just want to know how to enter Duanlong Village. Nothing else matters.
"Well, we never press the matter."
Tian Lin'er wiped her tears and told us the truth. My guess was correct. The man who saved her was the eldest son of the Cao clan and the heir of Feng Shui. This man had a good heart. Although he was over 30 years old and had already married and had children, he had always liked Tian Lin'er. When he saved her in front of the holy well, he was condemned by the entire Cao clan, so he dared not stay at home, and secretly followed the troupe.
