"Are you okay?" Bai Tian briefly checked my situation, quickly stepped forward, took off old man Zhang's clothes, and tied his hands.
"You're finally here."
When I saw the daylight, I breathed a sigh of relief, and my eyes were red with dissatisfaction.
He glanced at me angrily, but his tone was full of worry: "As long as you're not dead."
I wanted to put on a smile, but before I could do anything, the person fainted.
My head hurts.
When I woke up again, my nose was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant. When I opened my eyes, I found that I was sitting next to me during the day.
"You're awake."
I was wearing an oxygen mask and had a severe headache. I wanted to reach out and touch it, but he stopped me: "Your injury is serious. You need to be in the hospital during this time."
"During the day, how are my friends doing now, and Old Man Zhang."
"Don't worry, your friend is fine. As for old man Zhang, he has committed suicide out of fear of crime."
Suicide out of fear of crime?
My heart skipped a beat. I still haven’t asked clearly what the last words Mr. Zhang said to me meant.
During the day, he helped me pull up the quilt and continued: "There is another suspicious point in the case. The bodies of the deceased have still not been found. The wonton meat taken to the city for testing is confirmed to be normal pork."
I suppressed the discomfort in my stomach and took a deep breath: "Go and look in the basement. It's under the second brick in the lower left corner of the kitchen. It should be there."
I remember the dream I had. Every time after killing someone, Old Man Zhang would leave the body there.
The look in my eyes during the day revealed something strange: "How did you know that?"
"Just go and take a look. I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while."
After saying that, I closed my eyes.
After sitting by my bed for a while during the day, I heard the sound of him getting up and moving the chair, and then opening and closing the door.
After confirming that he left, I sighed and continued to rest.
In the afternoon, I received a call during the day. He told me that eighteen corpses were dug up at the place I mentioned. Each corpse had peach wood nails drilled into its head. White unknown insects squirmed.
But when the corpse was pulled out of the basement, the bugs instantly turned into blood and disappeared.
Jiang Miaomiao and Uncle Jiang came to visit me the next afternoon.
As soon as Uncle Jiang entered the ward, his face was full of guilt: "Rui Wazi, I'm really sorry. That old man said you owed him a sum of money. As long as I lure you out, he will tell me the whereabouts of my daughter. I don't Knowing that he is the murderer, Miaomiao has already said that her escape from that place this time is all thanks to you..."
I waved my hand indifferently: "It's okay, Uncle Jiang, if my daughter goes missing, I will be like you and seek medical treatment in a hurry."
"Ruiwazi, I'm really sorry. I bought some fruit. If you need help with anything in the future, please tell me."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Jiang."
I accepted the fruit and chatted with Miaomiao for a while. They left the ward until I looked tired.
During the day, he was sitting next to me peeling apples for me. When he saw them leaving, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, Brother Rui is quite pregnant. He has hurt you so much. If you can just say it's over, let's get over it."
I sighed: "What else can I do? After all, we are from the same village. You can't see each other without looking up. I'd better stay away from this family in the future."
Even though he said that, the grudge in his heart must have taken root.
During the day, he cut the peeled apple into small pieces and handed it to me: "The bugs on those corpses are Gu bugs, called Thousand People Gu. People serve as gathering places. The specific function is not yet clear."
"Then tell me, who could teach Old Man Zhang this evil method?"
I repeated what Old Man Zhang said to me to Bai Tian, who frowned more and more as he listened: "Don't worry too much about this matter. I will find someone to investigate. During this period, I will continue to investigate." Follow you and keep you safe."
I nodded and closed my eyes tiredly.
This time I was injured and had to stay in the hospital for half a month. During this period, I was taken care of during the day.
It's a pity that he has a beautiful face during the day, but he doesn't smile. He sits aside either playing with his mobile phone or meditating. The only expression he looks at me is a half-smile but not a smile.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, she got a car from nowhere.
When I got home and smelled the familiar smell, I felt released all over my body.
"Ruiwazi is discharged from the hospital. This is the bacon made by our family. You can take it and replenish your health."
"I have dried all your quilts, so they will be more comfortable to sleep at night."
"..."
The folks around me were very enthusiastic when they saw me. The enthusiasm after the coldness made me a little overwhelmed, so I could only say thank you to the people around me in embarrassment.
Grandma and Bai Tian have prepared a table of meals waiting for us to come back.
After eating and drinking, I sat on the mat in the courtyard and felt the night breeze, which was particularly comfortable.
Tian Tian, who was eating fruit, suddenly said: "I have to go out tomorrow, and it will be at least a month before I come back."
I opened my eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief: "You want to leave? What should I do?"
"With the amulet I gave you, within a month, as long as you stay at home and don't go out to provoke anything, there should be no problem." Bai Tian said expressionlessly.
I looked aggrieved.
She is not mine during the day, and she cannot protect me all her life. I really have no position to let her stay in this place.
The atmosphere became awkward in an instant, and no one spoke.
After finishing the orange in his hand, Bai Tian clapped his hands and said, "It's getting late. Your injury hasn't fully healed yet. Get some rest early."
After that, he turned around and left without even looking at me.
"..."
What should I do? I seem to feel even more aggrieved.
After a good night's sleep, when I woke up, I could smell the delicious food.
When I walked out of the house, I saw my grandma working in an apron.
"Ruiwazi is awake, get ready and you can eat."
I rubbed my eyes sleepily: "Nai, where is the day?"
"She has already left during the day. I wanted to call you, but she said not to disturb your sleep. This girl is really nice."
I became anxious and rushed into the room, only to find a pile of talismans on her bed.
I know all these talisman papers. She once explained to me the usage of these talisman papers very seriously.
This person has a hard mouth and a soft heart. He probably couldn't trust me and left it specially for me.
After walking out of the room, I asked Nai: "How long has it been since she left?"
