Chapter 104: The Pregnant Woman Has Disappeared
The spokesperson was already raising his foot and was about to leave, leaving only one sentence: "That's your business, you can just take care of it yourself."
After saying that, he left.
I'm really overwhelmed. In three days, I have to go to Sun Jin's place tomorrow night. Once I go back, I don't know what I'm tortured, so how can I have the energy to find Su Yurao?
Do you want me to do it now?
If you don’t do anything, won’t the spokesperson punish me?
It must be not as simple as beating me and scolding me. I am afraid that she will attack Xia Xiaowei.
I scratched my hair irritably, took a look at the still standing in place, staring at my follower, and could only walk aimlessly into the village.
I originally wanted to go to the stream to relax and think about what to do next, whether to steal Su Yurao's soft whip or not.
But when I passed by Li Xing's house, I couldn't help but stop.
I haven't seen Li Xing for a while, and I haven't been here again since I learned that she was pregnant last time.
Today happened to pass by. When I think of Lao Song, I wanted to go in and take a look.
However, when I entered Li Xing's house, I found something was wrong.
Li Xing was not at home, and there was a layer of dust in his home, and even spider webs were formed in some places. It was obvious that there was no one living there for a while.
My heart suddenly jumped and I ran towards the roof. The big stone tool was still there. Looking at the lid of the big stone tool, I was confused.
I really wanted to open it and take a look, but I was afraid that I would see Lao Song looking purple and black after all, I was a friend and couldn't bear it.
In the end, I decided not to open it first, but squatted down and said to the big stone tool: Lao Song, I will try my best to protect your child. If you have a spirit in heaven, please bless Li Xing not to have any trouble before giving birth.
After saying that, he bowed to the stone tool, then turned around and went downstairs.
Li Xing would not disappear for no reason. The Yin Village is so big. If it really disappears, some news will definitely come out.
So, I was sure that she must have been taken to somewhere.
Then, based on my memory, I found several more families, all of whom were pregnant this year, and they were all not at home without exception.
At that time, I felt relieved. It seemed that they were indeed summoned. Perhaps in order to facilitate the care of pregnant women, they gathered in a certain place to take care of their babies.
I thought I had the opportunity to ask Su Yurao. At that time, I was sure that nothing happened to them. When I finally knew the truth, it was too late to regret it.
Of course, this is already a story later.
After walking around the village, I finally walked towards the south.
After all, I still know what I will face tonight. I will be killed by the locust tree spirit. I should go find Grandma Yin to ask for something to defend herself first.
When I was walking through the herb field, the women working in the field looked at me in one go. They all thought it was just a normal man like me in the underworld.
What's more, I look pretty good.
But I was stared at by these eyes like a thorn on my back, and I couldn't help but speed up and walked further south.
When I arrived, Grandma Yin was sitting at the door cutting bamboo strips, splitting bamboo poles into pieces, and then carefully polished them with a knife. Every step was done with a careful and no mistake was made.
I didn't dare to disturb her, so I kept squatting aside and watching her do things.
After seeing this, it took half an hour. When Grandma Yin put down the tools in her hand, my legs were numb.
"How is it? Do you understand my technique just now?" Grandma Yin asked me.
"Ah?" My mind was full of dark lines, "I, no, didn't understand."
I feel a little guilty because I just cut bamboo strips, which is just to cut them slowly. How could I think of any other method?
Grandma Yin snorted coldly, as if she was a little unhappy, so she packed up the bamboo strips and asked me while walking, "Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
"It's nothing. I just come to thank you for saving me in the woods in front of me last time and helping to lift the blood contract." I was very embarrassed. In front of Grandma Yin, I always felt that I couldn't raise my head.
Grandma Yin didn't buy my account at all: "If I were to thank me simply, I would like to thank me now, and you can leave."
I quickly followed: "No, there is something else. Mother-in-law, can you give me some yellow talismans or something black and bloody? I want to keep it for self-defense."
"Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you that there are many things in this Yin Village that you cannot touch, so don't touch them, otherwise you will regret it." Grandma Yin's sharp eyes shot at me suddenly, as if she had seen through me.
"But, there are some things that I don't stick to if I don't mess with. Now I really have to drink cold water and stuff my teeth." I complained.
Grandma Yin glared at me, then went into the room, came out for a while, holding the red rope in her hand, with a triangle bag made of yellow paper on it: "Wear this around your neck can help you resist it. Don't show off your ability as a three-legged cat. When you encounter danger, the first word you think of in your mind must be: Run, do you hear it?"
I held the triangle bag tightly in my hand and kept nodding: "I understand."
"Let's go, hey!" Grandma Yin sighed, walked into the house, and ignored me again.
I was depressed on the way back because Grandma Yin’s attitude towards me seemed to be a little disappointed. It was a kind of disappointment, which made me feel ashamed of disappointment.
When I returned to the cell, Su Yurao was not there. After dinner, I began to restless.
I have found the tools, nothing more than shovels, and I brought a cloth pocket. When I dug the beads and put them in it, I also cut two small paper men. After this period of training, I can stand them up and fly three or five meters away, but I can't control the attacker.
The biggest ace in my hand is the triangle bag given by Grandma Yin. Although I don’t know how much it can play, in my opinion, that is my amulet. With it, I feel like I have reliance.
At about 7:30, I slowly walked out of the cell with my tools, thinking about going out early and finishing work early, and not delaying until twelve o'clock in the night. At that time, the yin energy was the heaviest and it was easy to get into trouble.
I walked along the woods all the way, trying to hide my figure. After finally approaching the location of the Big Locust Tree, I suddenly found that there was a red masked follower guarding the other side of the Big Locust Tree.
Damn, I suddenly became upset. Could it be that I was seen by the spokesperson here at noon today, and she immediately became suspicious of me, so she sent this entourage to follow me?
That old guy is simply a savvy person!
What should I do? She was there, and I couldn't go there. I missed tonight. I don't know how long I have to wait!
Go up and beat her out?
This method is actually very good, but I don’t have confidence in myself. If I haven’t knocked her out yet, I will be caught by her, and then I will lose the rice!
I have to think of some way to attract her attention and lead her out, so that it will be easy to start.
But how do I lead?
I took out the paper man, chanted the spell, and slowly urged them carefully. The paper man flew and flew about three meters away, and fell down. Oh, before I saw them, I had scrapped them first.
I hid in the bushes on the side and looked at the two little paper men lying on the ground. A breeze blew, and it was blown up and was blown into a pile of leaves.
I could only stay where I was waiting, looking around vigilantly, afraid of dying before I could succeed.
I had been waiting for about a quarter of an hour, and just as I was thinking about whether to go back first and think about other ways to come again, another red mask follower slowly walked from the south.
The entourage walked under the big locust tree and told the original entourage that she was here to replace him.
Since swallowing the marrow-cleaning fruit, my senses have evolved unprecedentedly in all aspects, and my hearing is surprisingly good.
I heard the entourage say that he didn’t change shifts in the middle of the night?
The newcomer said that her aunt was here, and she was afraid that she would slept to death in the middle of the night and wasted time, so she wanted to stay in the middle of the night and ask if it was OK.
The one was a little unhappy at first and said she had been staying for nearly an hour.
Later, the one said that the shift change time would be smooth, and it seemed that something had been stuffed to the original follower, so the other person felt relieved.
After the entourage left, I became anxious. According to what they said just now, I would change shifts around 1:00 in the middle of the night. Only during the shift change period would I have the possibility of getting in touch with the big locust tree, but soon, I would be discovered after the shift change.
Just as I was struggling, the follower later took out a snake from his pocket and slowly played with it in his hand.
When I saw the skillful technique of playing with my hands, I immediately understood that, fuck, I could be 12% sure that the later minion was fake.
She was pretended to be He Xinyu!
I used to eat and live with her for so long and imitate her behavior, how could I not recognize her?
How did she know that I was coming under the big locust tree tonight?
Could it be that she knew what I encountered by the spokesperson at noon today?
She followed me!
I suddenly remembered what she said to me before. She said that she wanted to be my assistant and help me, but I directly rejected it.
It turns out that she really wants to help me!
I didn't go forward immediately and observed He Xinyu's every move. She was playing with a snake in her hand, but her eyes were looking around, as if she was looking for someone, and she seemed very nervous, as if she was afraid of who would come.
She was waiting for me to appear, but she was afraid that the follower who was deceived by her would find out the clues and came to expose her!
This is definitely the case.
I thought about this, looked around, listened carefully to the movements around me, and walked out when I was sure that no one was approaching.
Chapter completed!
