Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 74 An Unusual Night

"Xiao Qi, Master Qi, can you come to my house first, the old man will not leave without seeing you first, no matter what I say. You know in your heart that you must not be sloppy at this time, or else you will come. The flesh of the mouth is about to fly."

"I know this, you first hold on to the old man, and I'll come over right away."

Bai Ling and I went home first, took the necessary things and took a ride to Zhang Zhongyi's house. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Zhang Zhongyi’s home, I saw a van parked. When the trunk of the van was open, I could see a person lying in the free space. I don’t have to think that it was Uncle Zhang, and Zhang Zhongyi’s family of three was surrounded anxiously. Next to him, his mouth was babbling and he didn't know what he was talking to Uncle Zhang.

"Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief like a heavy load, and said, "You finally came."

I leaned forward and saw Uncle Zhang's expression of anger and embarrassment. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were muddy and apathetic, and opened his mouth. The sound from his mouth was as fine as a mosquito, and I pointed my ears. I couldn't hear exactly what he was talking about. "Uncle Zhang, we have arranged everything, don't worry, now we will send you back to your hometown."

Uncle Zhang nodded.

Uncle Zhang had made arrangements for Zhang Zhongyi as early as a month ago. According to his arrangement, Zhang Zhongyi went back to his hometown twice. It was nothing more than setting up a temporary settlement in a dilapidated village. Once Uncle Zhang really reached the end of the period. , Then it will come in handy. This kind of precautionary consideration is naturally just right, but I did not expect Uncle Zhang's time to be so fast.

Zhang Zhongyi's family of three, plus Uncle Zhang, this van was not enough at all, we had to pack another car. Departing from Zhang Zhongyi's home, the destination is Shilong Town under the jurisdiction of Zhanjiang District, the birthplace of Uncle Zhang.

Our departure time was more than five o'clock in the afternoon. It may be because the sky was not beautiful. It started raining before we left the city. The rain was getting worse and worse. For the sake of safety, we walked slowly along the way until we were The last time to reach Shilong Town is already eleven o'clock in the evening. Finally, I hurriedly ate some food to fill my stomach before a small restaurant was about to close, and continued on the road to the second group of Changhe Village under Shilong Town.

The ages have changed and the times have progressed. Many residents who lived in the village for a long time left the poor rural areas for their own way. There were few people and deserted, and this road to Changhe Village was even worse. It was bumpy all the way, and we didn't finally reach our destination until about one o'clock in the morning.

This is the place where Uncle Zhang was born and raised. Logically speaking, this is the home of Uncle Zhang, but this is not the case. Uncle Zhang was lonely and forced to work as a long-term worker in the landlord's house, so that he could have a bite of food and drink. The home that really belonged to him was completely destroyed decades ago. In addition, he had a relationship with Miss San and was driven out by the host's family. In his heart, the word home may have long ceased to exist.

However, if the host’s family were more reasonable and able to accept the marriage between Miss San and him, then Miss San’s home would be his home and his most complete support. It is for this reason that Uncle Zhang instructed Zhang Zhongyi to build a hayloft on the site of the host family’s house, and with the help of the few neighbors in Murakami, the hayloft was enlarged enough to accommodate a dozen adults at the same time. people.

And we, not only tonight, but even in the next period of time until Uncle Zhang completes the final journey of life, we may spend in this hayloft.

After tidying up, we finally had time to rest until three o'clock in the evening. Just as I was lying on the paved straw mat, before I had time to close my eyes, the phone in my pocket rang suddenly. It looked very abrupt in this quiet night. I said sorry to everyone and hurried to the straw shed. The outsider had no time to read the phone number displayed on the screen, so he answered the call directly. "Hello, are you?"

"It's me." Jiang Yilong said: "Are you here?"

I said: "It's just been here, what's the matter if you are not sleeping at this late hour?"

Jiang Yilong said: "It was Hu Qingguo's call for me in the afternoon. I thought about it all this night, and I couldn't sleep even after thinking about it. Therefore, I think I should discuss it with you first, and then make plans."

I said, "I'm listening, what are you going on to say."

"You guessed right, what Hu Qingguo asked us to talk about was the ancient tomb. They have already inquired clearly, and the specific place has been confirmed. Originally, I wanted to tell Zheng Jie as soon as possible on the way back, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Some are not suitable. As the saying goes, catching the thief and catching the dirty, catching the traitor must also be in bed. Moreover, I am really worried that if there is a mistake, Hu Qingguo and the others know that we have reported the secret, then we will have to peel off even if we don’t die. what."

I said, "Where is the specific place and how long do they plan to do it?"

"I just listened to Hu Qingguo casually saying that it was a place called Changhe, Shilong Town."

"Are you sure it is this place?"

"It should be correct." Jiang Yilong heard my tone of voice and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

I said, "Uncle Zhang's hometown is in Changhe, Shilong Town. If Hu Qingguo and the others said the place is near the home of Uncle Zhang, would you say it's a coincidence?"

"This, isn't it impossible?"

"I also don't think it's possible." I paused, and then asked: "How long are they going to leave?"

"Tomorrow. I have no excuse to reject Hu Qingguo face-to-face, so I agreed at that time. Besides, if I refuse directly, Zheng Jie will not have a good deal at that time. Younger brother, do you want to tell Zheng Jie now? When something goes wrong, we are not humans on both sides, and we are angry both inside and out."

"In this way, tomorrow you will work with Hu Qingguo and the others to finally determine the specific location. Once there is any movement, you will contact me immediately."

"Let's do this first, you may be busy with Uncle Zhang's affairs during this period. It is not early, so you should rest earlier."

The time is indeed not early, and coupled with the long toss, I really want to fall to the ground and sleep. I went back to the shed and lay on the mat, and within a few minutes I fell into a dream. But I don't know how long it took, a continuous small sound lingered in my ears, making me unable to sleep at all, but I just didn't want to open my eyes. At this moment, someone pushed me a few times in succession, and my anger was nowhere to vent, but when I opened my eyes, I saw the person who awakened me by the light in the straw shed turned out to be Bai Ling.

When I just wanted to talk, Bai Ling made a silent motion at me, and immediately pointed to the place where Uncle Zhang was lying sideways. I followed the trend and saw that where Uncle Zhang was lying, I didn't see him at all. Then, Bai Ling pointed to the outside of the straw shed again, and said like a mosquito, "I just found out that Uncle Zhang is out, do you want to follow?"

I was stunned. Uncle Zhang is almost reaching the time limit for his return to heaven. With such a bad body, he does not lie down and rests at this time. Instead, he leaves everyone while we are all resting. If something goes wrong in the middle, everyone will lose. Can't afford this responsibility. But after this thought subsided, another thought popped up in my mind. I wanted to wake up Zhang Zhongyi's family, but looking in the direction of their rest, Zhang Zhongyi hugged his mother-in-law and slept like a dead pig, so I simply dispelled the idea. "How long has he been out alone?"

"Just now, according to his current physical condition, he can't walk far."

Bai Ling and I hurriedly followed out, stood outside the straw shed and looked around. Only about no more than ten meters away from the shed, a figure walked extremely hard and slowly in the dark space by the light of the cold moon. We are sure that it is Uncle Zhang. Just as Bai Ling was about to turn on the flashlight, I quickly stopped it. "There must be a reason for him. Don't disturb him first, let's follow up and have a look."

Bai Ling nodded.

We tiptoed to the back and kept no more than five meters away from Uncle Zhang. In the end, Uncle Zhang struggling to the side of an ancient well with a wooden stick. The ancient well was surrounded by weeds and there was a stone slab on the top of the well. If Zhang Zhongyi hadn't said that it was an ancient well when he came, we would never have guessed it. But it’s also strange. I remember that when Zhang Zhongyi mentioned this ancient well to us, I could clearly see the expression on Uncle Zhang’s face a bit agitated. Is it possible that Uncle Zhang took a big risk and came here tonight. What else is there?

Uncle Zhang was originally in very bad physical condition. After such a journey, Bai Ling and I were worried that he would go to see King Yama in the next moment. At this moment, Uncle Zhang suddenly fell to the ground with a soft stature. Fortunately, there were thick weeds around him. If it were a place like a pile of sharp rocks, the consequences would be unimaginable. Bai Ling couldn't help but want to rush out, but I was still ruthlessly stopped.

Uncle Zhang was lying on the ground, breathing heavily, and rested for almost two or three minutes. He crawled towards the ancient well that had been sealed off with all fours together. He didn't stop until he climbed to the side of the ancient well. Down. "I...I'm back...I'm back, I'll...this time I'll...never go again."

He said this intermittently, and Bai Ling and I felt a little bit strange. But let us not even think that when Uncle Zhang had just finished saying this sentence, he even started to cry, his voice looked bleak, and even more strange at this time and night.

According to my physical examination of Uncle Zhang, he can at least stay up for a few more days. If the situation is good, even I am not sure about the time. However, after Uncle Zhang's tossing this evening, the time he can survive will naturally be greatly reduced. However, this incident happened too abnormally, and there must be an unknown secret behind it.

I want to know, I really want to...

Bai Ling said, "Brother Zhiyuan, we can't delay it any more. If this continues, he can't bear it."

If it was before, it was okay, but after learning Bai Ling's true identity, in fact, there was always something I wanted to say to her. She is a fox fairy who has practiced for more than two hundred years. I have only lived for a few years, and I feel very uncomfortable with the mouthful of my brother Zhiyuan. "Call me Zhiyuan from now on, remember. Don't startle me, let's wait a little longer."
