Chapter 10: The Kid Seeks Adoption
Someone immediately went to search Aozora's body, only to retrieve a warm egg from inside his old school uniform.
This was obviously his breakfast, and inside the wooden lunch box was thin porridge and salted vegetables, so it was obvious that he had come to bring food to the family. I heard from the blind old man in the village that it was Saeko Qing who had been taking care of Wang Baosong's old lady for the past two years, delivering meals rain or shine.
Two years ago (last year and this year), how old was Saeko? Eleven, or twelve?
After searching him and finding nothing, the police let go of Saeko and told him that the police were working on the case, so he should go away. He did as he was told, walked outside the yard, and spat hatefully on the ground. I felt that he was looking at me, and I felt a little uncomfortable with the eyes of this little child, so I went into the house. Inside is still damp and hot, a strange smell, the light was pulled open, I saw Luo Ermei was a few men lifted up, while Wang Baosong was pressed by two burly police officers on the ground handcuffed.
Luo Ermei was telling them, "He's just crazy, don't make things difficult for him."
Yesterday the lights were dim I didn't see Luo Ermei clearly, I only felt that her description was withered, today when I saw her, I found that she was almost as skinny as a mummy, all the bones in her body, and her face was very scary. I know that the general raising parasites, learning black witchcraft, people who deal with ghosts every day, Yang Qi is taken, the erosion of qi, if there is no method, the appearance are horrible, and the fate is not good. Previously, the book to see the end feel unbelieving, today I saw, the heart is even more cold.
Wang Baosong struggled to be pressed out, while Luo Ermei looked at me and laughed: "It is really blue." She laughed in a weird way. I asked her about yesterday's brat, where the body went to find it. She said yeah, forgot about that, the brat's bones are buried under the bed, as for where it was found? As for where to find it, whoever did the crime will find it at whoever is there.
Luo Ermei paralyzed in bed can not walk, a few police officers with a quilt to wrap her, the feet of the place dripping left a lot of fishy water, a few of them smoked uncomfortable, and rushed to carry to the yard. I feel that this old man's life has almost come to an end. Ma Haibo interjected from the side and asked what little ghost. I did not tell him what happened last night, but just told him, didn't you mention to me last time a case of a young girl dying horizontally and her body being stolen, move the bed and dig a little, then we will know.
Ma Haibo seriously? I said I'm not going to lie to you.
He is now convinced of my words, and quickly called two in the room to collect evidence of the dry police to find a hoe crowbar to, I pushed the bed a little bit inside, designated a corpse gas rich point to them, let them be careful to dig. The floor was boarded up, but rotten, and after getting it easily out of the way, the two stick lads began to swing their hoes and dig up the earth, while I looked around the room, trying to find anything peculiar.
I rummaged through a wooden chest and found some wooden thorns, silver rings, joss sticks, and other odds and ends, and a couple of carved wooden idols on the shrine, jars, a pile of herbs, incense ashes, mahogany wood, bone fragments ...... and a little porcelain jar doll that came to life. At this time someone called digging, I moved to the bed, only to see in a pile of hard mud rammed earth next to the pit inside, there is a fifty centimeter length of thin skin coffin, fishy gas.
I rushed to ask people to open all the windows of the house, and then asked them to go and find a wet towel to cover their faces, squat down, and use them to hand over a nail pry to knock open the coffin. Opened the coffin, found inside is a gray skeleton frame, not big, inside the meat all rotten, turned into a mass of mud plasma, countless white maggots in the top crawling intertwined.
At this moment I can no longer hold back, go to his grandmother's image of the high man, I rolled and crawled out of the wooden room, lying on the wooden shelf, a stream of acidic water is ejected, and this vomit is simply a chain reaction, my stomach began to make a revolution, countless expansion of the gas tumbled up, yesterday's Chinese food, dinner all at once, all gave me spit out, some of the more urgent, actually also sprayed out of the nose. And when I threw up until there was only sour water left in my stomach, I realized that there were several other buddies around me who maintained the same position I was in.
Ma Haibo came out with a towel over his nose, and when he saw all this filth we were throwing up, his face went white again. He saw me a little better, and then said: "I closed the coffin, when the time to bring it back, let the technical section check, we will know if it is? Alas, I've been a cop for twenty years, what haven't I seen before? It's just that this time, it's really fucking evil."
I was afraid that he didn't cover the coffin properly, breaking the taboo, there is corpse gas roaming out, so I forced to endure the nausea in my heart to go in and look. Retracing my steps back into the house, I took a look at the discount small coffin, nailed tightly. I waved my hand toward Ma Haibo at the door, indicating that it was ready. Everything is finished, the final result is only waiting for their interrogation, this ghost place, I am more than a second do not want to stay, so I raised my legs ready to go, I did not expect that actually can not walk up.
Looking down at my feet, I was shocked - a little girl who was carved out of pink was hugging my legs, her little face was suffocating red. I looked toward the door and found that Ma Haibo was directing a few police officers, and did not notice any difference on my side. I looked down and asked her, "What are you doing?" The little girl shook her head and pointed at the small coffin over there and opened her mouth.
I asked her, "Do you want me to help you bury it properly?"
She shook her head.
I asked again, "Are you wanting me to help you transcend the dead?"
She shook her head, desperately, and looked at me in horror. I laughed and said, "You're not asking me to take you away, are you?"
She finally nodded, a smile on her face, like a puppy pleasing its master. I was in a bit of a quandary, what kind of business was it for a big man like me to take a brat with me? Besides, I didn't really know how to raise a brat. When she saw me pondering, she jumped up, found a broom and swept the floor, and rubbed my clothes, and when she saw that I didn't react, she cried anxiously.
Seeing her look of pity, the softest place in my heart was touched inexplicably, a sour heart. I asked her, "How can I take you away? Where do you usually live?" If she lived inside a coffin, I honestly would have rejected it decisively - I didn't have the same mental quality as a professional goddess, after all. Fortunately not, she pointed to the porcelain jar doll on the shrine.
I picked up the palm-sized porcelain jar and realized that there was a switch near the doll's neck, and when I opened it up, there was a very small space filled with a little bit of black hair, bones, ash, and oil, separated by a membrane so that it wouldn't spill out. I said okay, I'll take you, but if you don't behave, I'll throw you out in the sun. She shook her head in fear, then nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, making me laugh. I raised the porcelain jar, she immediately turned into a white line and drilled into it.
"Lu Zuo, Lu Zuo ......" Ma Haibo came over and pushed me, I said What s wrong? He smiled, his face was a bit wrong, he asked What are you muttering here alone? I asked: "You do not see anything?" Ma Haibo snapped and said Don't scare me. I said well, just kidding, and then raised the porcelain jar in my hand and said this I want to take back, no problem, right?
Ma Haibo said this is what? I shook my head, pretending to be mysterious, told him not to ask, I bring back to deal with.
This time he did not say what principle la, nodded, said you take it. At this time, someone came in to call, said the car came, asked me whether I want to go back to the county. I naturally do not want to stay in this ghost place, so said together back. Out of the yard, I saw Qing Saeko still staying at the entrance to the field, I ignored him and let the kid be hostile to me.
"You are a traitor, you are a traitor to our Miao family ......," he shouted at me with a puff of air.
I turned back to look at him, and he came even more vigorously, spitting at me, "Bah, you made Uncle Baosong crazy, and then you want to make Granny Luo dead, you outsiders ...... you, you a traitor of the Miao family still help them!" His accent was mixed with the pronunciation of the Miao language, and it was difficult for me to hear, but I could see that his eyes were very resentful. Like his age is the time when his eyes are bright, his own worldview has been formed, and he is obsessive, paranoid, and indignant ...... I looked at such a pair of eyes, and I actually had a feeling that I couldn t say anything. In the yard two police officers who stayed behind came over to pull him: "What do you know about children, go, go!"
I didn't say anything, turned around and left. The policeman in the back is still teaching him, "This Luo Brahma has violated the king s law, no matter who it is, it is to be taught a lesson ......."
In the car I talked to Ma Haibo about removing the residual poison to those two injured young policemen, and also told him, after going back, he should also buy some big water chestnuts, no matter how many, slice them and dry them in the sun to make them into mince, and take two coins in the morning every day, and send them down with hollow white rolling soup. Continuously for a week, can not be interrupted, so that can exhaust the poison.
Said these, to the Qingmeng Township, I declined their retention, transfer to the shuttle bus back to the county alone.
To the county is only twelve noon, I ate a fast food outside, and then bought some nutrients to the county people's hospital to visit my brother-in-law. When I came to the hospital room, I ran into my cousin Xiao Jing, she took a look at me, didn't call me, but just grunted and turned her head away. My little uncle was quite enthusiastic, greeted me and asked me if I had gained anything from this trip to the Green Mountain Realm.
Little uncle s face has been stitched up wounds, now wrapped in thick white gauze, I first asked him how his condition was, he said it was okay, as for scarring ...... men, and not relying on the face to eat. Xiao Jing in the side of the gas puffing said, there are a few scars, like hooligans. The little uncle then yelled at her, said the child how do not understand a little thing? Xiao Jing stood up and glared at me and ran out, while I persuaded my little uncle not to be angry, adolescent girls are like that. I didn't say too many words of apology, so I told him about what happened in Segai Village.
Uncle Junior was silent for a while and asked me, "Do you really have the Golden Silkworm Compass in your body?"
When I said yes, he grabbed my hand and told me, "Don't tell outsiders about this, and don't let anyone else see it. Although I have been in the forest for half my life, I still know a little bit about the human heart. In ancient times, there was the concept of "guilty by harboring a treasure", this is also a treasure of yours, if too many people know about it, it will bring you trouble instead, understand?"
I nodded my head, indicating that I understood. Little Uncle sighed and said, "This face of mine is not a big problem, when the time comes, it will only be a few shallow scars, and there is public medical care, so don't take it too much to heart. I have no success in my life, Xiaohua and Xiao Jing are slowly growing up, their temperament with his mother, not good, I'm quite uneasy, in the future, if there is any difficulty, you give a hand. Also, the money you gave to your aunt, too much, I asked her to return you ......."
I quickly waved my hand and said no, but also said that Xiaohua Xiaojing's matter, is not my matter, will definitely help.
Excuses, the little uncle did not say anything else, and talked about Li De Cai things, said there is still no whereabouts. This wild forest has also organized several searches, there is no sign. The little uncle sighed, at first he hated him, but now he is worried to death.
I stayed at the hospital for more than an hour, and then went to the bus station to take a shuttle bus back home.
Although previously reported safe, but my parents see me back safely, still rejoice, but next to some idlers quite disappointed, ran over to ask long and short, the central meaning is how to release me again. I don't care about these, close the door, put the porcelain jar that stores the souls of the little ghosts, and then seriously study the broken book that my grandmother left me.
The encounters of the past few days had taught me one thing, my grandmother had left me a fortune, a great fortune, which was able to turn decay into magic and bring me to an extraordinary world, but if I didn't make good use of it, I would go down to catch up with her old man at any time - to be honest, due to growing up being more in awe of my grandmother, so we didn't interact much.
The Twelve Methods of Suppressing Mountains consisted of thirteen articles, each of which was tens of pages long, with almost over 100,000 words of text, the same number of words of commentary to understand it, and many illustrations, diagrams, and the like, which, to be honest, were really difficult for me to grasp for a while. But upon realizing that this was all very useful knowledge, I was now fully motivated.
I read with great interest late into the night that day, and it wasn't until the moon had moved west and the bugs were sighing that I was struck by sleepiness.
In a daze, I saw my grandmother again.
