Chapter 43: The Woman in the Sedan Chair
The old mayor looked at her in surprise and repeated: "The old man is called in the day." ”
This time, I clearly saw that Bai Jing's face showed an indescribably complicated look.
She first bit her lip, stared at the old mayor for a while, and then got up crookedly, like a drunken person, and walked out with Lu Xiaolong and the bride with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
This little episode did not attract too many people at the time.
After Bai Jing left, the old mayor immediately went straight to the point and made a request to us.
As expected, he wanted me to get rid of the 'sedan chair' that could absorb yin qi for Chenghe Town!
I thought about it and asked him, when was the first appearance of the sedan chair?
Among the old people left, two of them said the time in unison.
The old mayor told me that these two people were considered to be the parties at the time, and that they had seen the 'ghost sedan chair' appear.
I didn't think there was anything special about the time I told them, but at this time, Dou Dabao suddenly said:
"I remember at that time, Xu Jie seemed to have just been paralyzed and just brought back by us, right?"
I felt a shock in my heart for no reason.
Sun Lu glanced at me thoughtfully, and asked the old mayor and the others:
"Since then, the sedan chair has been coming to this town from time to time? You can all see it clearly, so it's just a sedan chair? Have you seen it, is there anything in the sedan chair? ”
"The sedan chair is not empty!" An old man with a goatee stepped forward, "There is someone in the sedan chair, it's a woman!" ”
Goatee groped around and muttered that he was an art teacher when he was alive, and although he was not good at drawing, he had a great hobby.
He had also seen the 'ghost sedan chair' with his own eyes, and when the sedan curtain floated up, he also saw the appearance of the person in the sedan chair!
He took out a crumpled piece of yellow paper from his body, unfolded it and handed it over: "This is what I drew from memory, it may not be very similar, but it is always a little similar." ”
Dou Dabao stepped forward to take the painting, but when he turned around, his eyes were facing the painting, but his hairy mouth was wide open, and he looked stunned. It took me a long time to hand me the painting, but I still couldn't speak.
Sun Tuzi leaned his head in front of me and couldn't help blurting out, "How could it be ......?"
I stopped him from talking, but caught the old mayor's attention.
"Sir, do you know the man in this painting?" The old mayor tried to ask.
Without hesitation, I replied, "The person in this painting looks very much like my lover, but I can be sure that it is not her, but the person is similar." ”
Before he could speak again, I put away the painting and asked if the sedan chair had been back recently.
The old mayor shook his head and said that he hadn't seen the sedan chair for about half a month, but the ghost sedan chair was not removed, and everyone was sick in their hearts.
Finally, he, along with the rest of the group, clasped his fists at me again:
"Listening to Xiaolong, I realized that Mr. was a great power of the Daomen, otherwise he would not have been able to cross the yin and yang to find someone here. Speaking of which, my husband and I are also neighbors. When I say this, I don't want to climb high, but we really have no choice, so we beg Mr. to take action. If we can get rid of the ghost sedan chair, we in the town will be grateful to Mr. ”
I replied, "You said it, we are neighbors." So, I'll definitely take care of it. But if the sedan chair doesn't appear, it can't wait for the rabbit after all.
Well, I've got this in mind, and I'll find out as soon as I get back when I get back. If you see that sedan chair again, feel free to let Xiaolong inform me. ”
At this time, Bai Jing came back, and I bid farewell to the old mayor.
Bai Jing still seemed a little in a trance at this time, but she didn't forget to ask me what to do with the stinky ding and the pierced paper man.
I said that the spirit that was originally attached to the paper figure has long since left. The stinky tripod is an evil thing derived from the yin marriage, and since the marriage is not concluded, the tripod is useless.
On the way back, Lu Xiaolong still led the way.
Dou Dabao finally couldn't help but whisper to me, could it be that the matter of the sedan chair is really related to Xu Jie?
I said never.
"How could the person in the painting be Xu Jie?"
I shook my head, "The one in the painting is definitely not Xu Jie." ”
He looked at me deeply, and then stopped.
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not defending Xu Jie, I'm really sure that the person in the painting, or the person in the sedan chair, is definitely not Xu Jie." ”
Dou Dabao and Sun Lu glanced at each other, and both of them nodded at me at the same time.
The 'goatee's painting' was not just a little miraculous, as he himself modestly suggested. On the contrary, his painting skills are quite good.
Anyone who knows me well can recognize the identity of the person in the painting just by looking at it. recognized that the one in the painting was Xu Jie.
However, after that experience as an artist, I seemed to have an ability that I didn't have before.
My painting skills have not improved in the slightest, but when I am faced with a painting, I seem to be able to see more deeply.
This time, I really didn't want to escape, but I was really sure that the person in the painting was definitely not Xu Jie.
As for who the woman in the sedan chair is, and why does she look so similar to Xu Jie......
I think there are some things I should talk to Xu Jie openly and honestly.
When I left Chenghe Town, it was already early in the morning of the next day, and I didn't care about it anymore, and went straight home with the mud doll and meat floss.
As soon as he returned to the original world, Meat Floss naturally immediately changed back to his original single dog. As soon as I entered the house, I screamed twice.
"You're back!" A familiar voice came from upstairs.
As I agreed, I put the mud doll back in its place, turned around and made a gesture to beat it up, and the ignorant dog immediately ran away from the backyard in fright.
When I went upstairs, Xu Jie had already moved her wheelchair to the staircase.
When I saw the person next to my pillow, I was a little embarrassed, but this time I didn't flinch.
"Honey, I have something to ask you."
……
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
I was awakened by the sound of vibration, rubbed my eyes, and saw that Xu Jie had already picked up my phone on the side.
Seeing me wake up, she sighed deeply, "Alas, I wanted you to sleep a little longer, but I woke you up." ”
I smiled at her, put my arm around her, took the phone in the other, and when I saw that it was the landline of the city bureau, I closed my eyes and picked up the phone.
"Hey, Xu Xu, I'm Guo Sen."
"Team Guo?" I hurriedly straightened up, "You didn't take care of Sister Li in the maternity hospital?" Why are you back in the game again? ”
On the other end of the phone, Guo Sen's voice was not as low and rigid as usual, but a little excitement that could not be concealed:
"Two things, one, your sister Li was born before yesterday, double sticks, a man and a woman!"
I hurriedly said congratulations.
Guo Sen instantly lowered his voice again: "I said that there is something else to find you, you should come over now." ”
"Go to the city bureau? In such a hurry? ”
"No, go to your alma mater's forensic lab."
