At this point we had just put everything back on the carriage.
Hearing the words "catastrophe is imminent", both Huang Qi and He Zhi became slightly nervous, and I also looked cautious.
The boy picked up his hands again, looked around very carefully, covered his mouth with one hand diagonally, as if to block the wind, and said in a lower voice: "That little lady wants to commit suicide, Gou Xuan insists on it." We went to rescue him, but he was fished out, but he was fished out dead."
"The warden was so angry that he ordered Gou Xuan to be beaten up. Gou Xuan lay in daze for two days before he woke up, and..."
"That little lady is acting sneaky. She was obviously fished ashore by Gou Xuan, but someone saw her in the river again. Gou Xuan was still kneeling by the river and kowtowing in the middle of the night. Do you think this is a disaster?"
I frowned. According to this person, Gou Xuan had taken advantage of someone and caused trouble, but the specific situation was not clear to him.
Huang Qi took out a dollar, patted the boy on the shoulder, and asked him to explain the matter carefully. Who is the guardian?
When the boy saw the money, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He explained the whole story in detail, and then I understood the reason.
Their boundary is still dozens of miles away from Honghe Town and is called Guancun.
There are about 200 households in Guancun. Because it is located on the Panjiang River and has a dock, there are many merchant ships coming and going. Shangtou County has a security chief in charge.
The security guard, Guan Bao, was a bad-tempered master who bullied men and dominated women.
Some time ago, Guan Bao fell in love with a fisherman's daughter. The girl was only fourteen years old, and he insisted on marrying her as his wife.
When a fisherman's family is in trouble and can't tell the story, how can it be better than the security chief snatching away his daughter? I can only send my daughter off to get married in tears.
The boy sighed and continued: "That little lady has a fierce temper. When the wedding team came to the water bend, she jumped directly into the river. There were many fishermen around at that time, but who dared to save her?"
"Rescue her and send the girl to the tiger's mouth. If she is not rescued, she will offend the warden and have no good fruits to eat. Then Gou Xuan happened to be nearby and fell into the water in a daze... He is different. Couldn't be saved..."
When the boy said this, I could basically continue what he said in the first half.
I frowned, and Huang Qi cursed in a low voice: "Forcibly robbing a civilian girl, and even killing someone, no one can take care of this security chief?"
The boy was startled, and quickly made a booing gesture, saying: "Keep your voice down, brother, who dares to take care of this matter? There is someone above the caretaker, and he takes care of our village. Anyone who offends him will not be left in the mountains to feed wolves, but will have to sink into the river..."
He Fei put his hand on the ghost knife at his waist, his eyes full of anger and anger.
"He's so big..." He Zhi's eyebrows almost stood up.
I quickly raised my hand, pressed the back of He Fei's hand, and whispered: "I met Gou Xuan first before talking about anything else. Gou Xuan is indeed in trouble."
After concentrating for a moment, I said in a deep voice: "The corpse of an unmarried woman is the woman wanted by the river god. It is taboo for people to fish for corpses. They will never fish for the corpse of an unmarried woman. Although Gou Xuan said that he wanted to save people first, the person is already dead."
"He broke the taboo, broke the rules of the ancestors, offended the river god, and caused trouble to man. Let's go and see how he is doing."
Huang Qi immediately asked the boy to lead us to Gou Xuan.
He Zhi looked very cautious, but she didn't say anything else.
As for the boy, he hurriedly led the way for us.
it's getting dark.
We walked downstream along the Panjiang River. The further we left the pier, the more houses there were on the shore.
After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, the boy led us to a stop outside a courtyard.
He also muttered a few words, roughly speaking, the village leader gave Gou Xuan this yard, thinking that they would finally have corpse collectors here, but he didn't expect that Gou Xuan would get burned.
The boy pointed to the closed door of the hall in the courtyard and whispered: "I don't dare to take you in. You knock on the door to see if you can call Gou Xuan out. I guess it's Xuan. He's gone." It’s so troublesome…”
"You go, if necessary, Huang Qi will come find you." I said, indicating that he could leave.
The boy suddenly felt as if he had received an amnesty, turned around and ran away.
Huang Qi held the horse, his eyes obviously a little frightened.
I took out the compass and placed it steadily in the palm of my hand.
This time I didn’t bring the square plate with me. The square plate was loose. The compass disc can also be used alone. I have to get used to it before it is repaired.
The disc does require concentration to be stable.
The pointer formed a rotating needle, but the amplitude was not large, which meant that there was indeed Yin Qi in Gou Xuan's family, but it was not that vicious.
Even so, I didn't let my guard down.
He Zhi walked to the courtyard gate and called Gou Xuan in a clear voice.
But after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door.
After shouting twice, He Zhi simply pushed open the courtyard door.
I motioned to Huang Qi to wait for us outside.
He Zhi and I walked into the courtyard and went straight to the door of the main room. He Zhi pushed the door open again.
A faint cool air came out, causing me to shiver, and He Zhi also shrank his shoulders.
There are doors on the left and right of the main room, and the second one on the right is lit.
My face froze slightly, and I called Gou Xuan again in a low voice.
As a result, what came from behind the door was the slightly childish laughter of a woman.
I thought for a moment that I had heard something wrong. What kind of women are there in Gou Xuan's family?
He Zhi took out something from his body.
That's the hag's bell!
He Zhi shook it vigorously, and the crisp sound of the bell resounded throughout the house.
She walked quickly into the house, and I followed closely behind her.
At first glance, I saw a person sitting on the bed.
This person is clearly Gou Xuan!
But Gou Xuan at this time was indescribably weird.
He was actually wearing a woman's red wedding dress, with a hairpin on his head, rouge on his face, and lipstick on his lips.
What he wore on his toes turned out to be a pair of women's embroidered cloth shoes!
Gou Xuan sat cross-legged on the bedside, pinching orchid fingers in one hand and holding a bronze mirror in the other, as if looking into the mirror.
As soon as we entered the room, he turned his head and looked at He Zhi and me with soft and cold eyes!
Gou Xuan is a man with a rough personality, how can he have such a feminine look? That look is exactly that of a woman!
My expression changed again, it was just dark now, Gou Xuan was really haunted! And it’s never just one day!
He Zhi's expression also changed. She raised the bell in her hand and shook it hard again!
The crisp ringtone rang loudly in my ears.
A trace of pain flashed across Gou Xuan's eyes.
He screamed in a high-pitched voice with hatred on his face!
He Zhi snorted and scolded: "Get out!"
