Chapter 1: See also XXXXI
Seeing Xu Jie's back disappear into the ice, I felt like I had been drained of all my strength, and I didn't want to move when I lay on the ground.
Could it really be like Duan Chengfeng's calculations, Xu Jie and I have no fate, and I came here with all the hard work, just to see her for the last time?
The ground trembled slightly, and large flakes of snow kept tumbling down above.
The blind man dragged me up with all his might, and said in a hurry:
"Hurry up, the snow on it will collapse. Xu Jie will not die, as long as you live, you will still have a chance to meet! ”
If you are alive, you will have the opportunity to meet......
I gritted my teeth, took one last look into the ice, and turned to walk out.
As the blind man guessed, the exit was indeed under a waterhole in the mountain stream.
We hadn't gone far before the snow collapsed on the hill and the pool was gone.
Maybe it won't come back to life until the snow melts, but that's a different story.
That night we spent the night at the Grey Immortal Temple, and the blind man told Dou Dabao and Pan Ying a lot about Feng Shui.
I drank in silence, and only vaguely remembered him saying:
Liulihua has calculated thousands of things, but there is still a omission. That is, for some unknown reason, one of the seventy-two earth demons who originally wanted to be used for the town bureau, that is, one of the bandits, ran away with a bag of silver.
Because of the escape of this bandit, the yin and yang momentum of the bureau reconciled with gold and silver could not reach a balance, and eventually led to Liulihua herself being harmed by the poison.
When he woke up the next day, Dou Dabao shouted and said that the meat floss was gone.
The four of them searched for a long time, but they couldn't find it.
Pan Ying said cautiously: Will it go to Xu Jie.
I sighed in frustration and said let it go.
Two days later, the moment I walked out of the forest, I finally couldn't hold it anymore and lost consciousness.
I lay in the hospital in Mangui for a full week, and on the day I was discharged, I boarded the flight back with the blind men......
"Congratulations, junior brother, after passing the assessment, you will be an official forensic doctor in the future."
"What? You're going to be transferred? Why? ”
"I don't approve it!"
……
A month later, I finally passed the psychological assessment and became a qualified forensic doctor.
At the same time, I also made a decision to leave this city where no matter what I saw, I would think of a person.
When Ma Li heard this, she was furious, pointed at her nose and scolded me for being ungrateful, she worked hard to bring me out, but I was anxious to 'set up another mountain'.
In the end, Guo Sen came forward to reconcile and asked me to temporarily transfer to the nearby Pinggu County to work, and if I was not used to it, he could think of transferring me back.
This is indeed the best arrangement for me, I am grateful to this big brother, and said to him, Zhao Qi and Ma Li: If there is a need, I will come to help at any time.
The internal formalities were quickly completed, and the day before I was ready to go, I received a text message with only one mobile number on it.
The text message was sent by Duan Chengfeng's mobile phone, but it was not certain whether it was sent by him or Duan Simao.
After I came back, I called Duan Chengfeng twice, both of which were answered by Duan Simao.
This goddess has almost defended me like a flood beast, and now my heart is like ashes, and I don't bother to think about anything else.
Whether it is Duan Chengfeng or Duan Jiayin, they will not send me a message for no reason.
I didn't think about it, I just dialed the number.
"Hey, you're going to rent a house?" A somewhat hoarse man's voice came from the earpiece.
I was a little confused.
Is this actually a rental phone?
I asked the man, "Where are you?" ”
The other party said impatiently: "You don't know what you hit?" I'm plain, do you want to rent a house? ”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
When I hung up the phone, I couldn't laugh or cry.
Is this calculated that I was going to Pinggu, knowing that I was going to rent a house, and specially found a landlord for me?
Is this old Duan Dementia, or Duan Simao has convulsions, where is this......
The next morning, I packed my bags and took one last look at the 'home' that had given me a short period of warmth.
Turning my eyes to the kitchen, I seemed to see Xu Jie's busy figure again......
"31 Chenghe Street...... So coincidentally, it's also the thirty-one? Dou Dabao muttered as he drove.
I looked out the window and felt a little strange.
Even if Duan Chengfeng helped me because he asked me, as the blind man said, he would not be intimate enough to find a house for me.
Duan Simao took me as the enemy who killed his father, and he wouldn't do it.
The address reported by the landlord who claimed to be Lao Chen was the same as the number of the shop in the back street, which was also the 31st, which was too much of a coincidence.
According to the address given by Lao Chen, the two came to the west of the city.
After parking the car, Dou Dabao and I sat in the car and stared at each other.
For a long time, Dou Dabao snorted angrily and said:
"That message was definitely sent to you by Duan Simao, I think she just wants to fix you!"
I twisted my neck, sighed, and said, "Let's go down and have a look." ”
I really don't blame Dou Dabao for being angry, if you change someone who wants to rent a house, you will be uncomfortable when you see the surrounding situation.
I have been here in Pinggu County before because of Ji Yayun, which is a small county town.
The place we followed the navigation to was the moat at the edge of the city.
There is no rural-urban area at all, and there is a small street along the river on one side. Crossing the river along an old stone bridge, there is a cemetery on the opposite side, and beyond that there is a wilderness.
Because Pinggugang is a typical Gangzi terrain, standing on this side of the river, you don't need to deliberately look up, you can see the tombstones standing in the cemetery!
The fact is that the so-called Chenghe Street is a very short, extremely dilapidated side street.
Except for the two shops selling wreaths and incense candles at the end of the stone bridge, it was just a row of old two-story buildings, which looked lifeless, and there were no people in broad daylight.
But who would want to live here if they are a little taboo?
Seeing that Dou Dabao was annoyed, I joked that it might be that Lao Duan was afraid that I would be lonely, so he deliberately chose such a residence for me.
Dou Dabao said angrily: "You shouldn't come over!" It's good to live at home, our brothers can still be companions, what are you doing here? ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and rubbed his red eyes.
I squeezed his shoulder, not knowing what to say.
The two of them had not gone far along the river, and they both felt that something was wrong.
"Are we in the wrong place?" Dou Dabao raised his hand and pointed to an old house next to him, "It's all double numbers here." ”
I glanced at the door number and couldn't help but frown.
Number 14......
The house numbers along the street in China are basically an arrangement pattern, that is, the houses on one side of the street are single, and the other side is double.
There is only one row of houses here, which is obviously marked by even numbers, how can there be a thirty-one?
To follow normal logic, if there is a thirty-one, it should be in the ......
I glanced across the bank and shuddered at the sight of the tombstones.
Could it really be that Duan Jiayin knew that the blind man had found her father, deliberately took revenge on me, and wanted to fix me?
"What are you doing standing in front of my house?" An old hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
Dou Dabao and I were taken aback, looking left and right, but there was no one in sight.
The two glanced at each other, and each other's eyes revealed strangeness.
If you only hear voices and can't see people, is it hell?
Not to mention that it's noon, even if there is a ghost, he and I won't be blind!
"What do you guys do?" The voice came again, and it seemed manic.
This time, I carefully distinguished, followed the sound, couldn't help but gasp, and instinctively pulled Dou Dabao back two steps.
What the hell is this, the sound is coming from one of the windows of the fourteenth.
Behind the old green curtain, covered in ash, was nailed to the window, and a pair of angry eyes were staring at us.
Judging from the voice, it should be an old man who lives here, and when he saw me and Dou Dabao standing at the door of his house and pointing at his house, he asked questions.
There was a false alarm, and I hurriedly apologized and said that we had come to rent a house.
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Lao Chen's number.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the phone went out, a mobile phone rang from the window of the 14th.
No one answered the phone, but the door to Fourteen's room was opened.
An old man poked his head out and looked at me and Dou Dabao with his eyebrows twisted, "Are you going to rent a house?" Didn't you say living alone? ”
Only then did I react, dare to love this old man is the landlord Lao Chen!
I said, "Uncle, I called you, I live alone, and my friend is here to see me off." ”
"Oh, then you wait." Lao Chen said a word and closed the door.
After a while, the door opened again, and he walked out with a bunch of keys.
Seeing the whole picture of Lao Chen, I couldn't help but be stunned.
The old man looked to be sixty years old, but he was very tall.
The height alone must be at least one meter eighty-five or more, and the back is not carried and the waist is not bent, plus the face that is full of ravines but quite three-dimensional, it looks a little powerful.
Lao Chen asked us to go with him, and said to himself as we walked, let me call him Uncle Chen in the future.
Chen Bo......
Although I didn't mean to disrespect the elderly, I couldn't help but think of a physiological phenomenon peculiar to men.
Lao Chen took us to an old two-story building at the end of the street, and said that this was the place while taking the key to open the door.
I kept an eye on the house number when I walked over, and this building had no house number at all, about 20 meters away from the last house with a house number, and it was a separate old building.
The last house with a house number is number 28.
If you want to calculate it this way, then the building in front of you should be No. 30, how can it be said to be No. 31?
As soon as I followed Lao Chen into the house, Dou Dabao and I were stunned.
He and I didn't expect that the first floor of the house would look like a shop.
On the left side of the door is an old-fashioned wooden counter, behind which is a glowing hoop-backed rattan chair with a row of shelves against the wall.
This layout is very similar to the shops in the back street, except that the shelves are not filled with incense, candles, and paper money, but one by one spirit cards!
"How? The house is still satisfied, right? If you think it's okay, just pay it, according to what I said on the phone, three hundred a month, and pay a year's rent in one lump sum. ”
Lao Chen still said to himself, turned around, and looked at me expressionlessly, as if he knew that I would definitely rent his strange house.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I seem to see a hint of mockery in his calm and deep eyes.
But the truth is, the moment I saw the spirit cards on the shelves, I had already decided to rent this strange house with a view of the tombstones through the window......
