Chapter 256 The old woman who sells red silk
The old woman is in her eighties and is riding a tricycle with red silk piled up on it. A big trumpet is shouting: "The ancestral knitting technology has a long history..."
I took a deep breath, walked to the old lady, and asked with a smile, "Grandma, how do you sell your red silk?"
The old lady grinned and smiled at me, "Young man, please buy one and give it to your girlfriend. Recently, many people have bought my red silk, and they all say it works well."
After saying that, the old lady took the initiative to hand me one.
I asked with a smile, "Grandma, have many people bought your red silk recently? Who are they?"
The old lady said proudly: "There are all kinds of people, there are white-collar workers, students, and even big bosses. Once a boss bought twenty-four red silks at once."
I frowned immediately, and I suddenly realized that the person who bought twenty-four red silks at one time might have a problem.
I immediately asked, "Do you still know the person who bought your twenty-four red silks? What did he buy so many red silks for?"
The old woman said, "I don't know, but it seems to be giving it to his students."
I nodded thoughtfully, then took out a hundred yuan and gave it to the old lady: "Grandma, let's do this. If that person comes to buy your red silk next time, can you call me? I'll give you another hundred yuan at that time."
The old woman was immediately happy: "What are you looking for him? Besides, I won't be able to call me. My phone can only answer the phone so that the children can find me at any time."
I said this was simple. So I put my mobile number in the old lady's phone and set up "Speed Dial". As long as the old lady presses the "2" button, she can call me.
After teaching the old woman, I took Ms. Wu away.
Ms. Wu looked at me for no reason and asked me the one who bought twenty-four red silks was the culprit? Why did he buy so many red silks? Could it be that the victim is not only her daughter?
I said, "It is not possible to decide now. But if you are prepared, you would rather believe it than trust it. Wait for the old woman to call! If you find the other party, you may understand."
Ms. Wu nodded thoughtfully.
I asked Ms. Wu again if she had offended anyone recently, or if her daughter had offended anyone recently, but Ms. Wu's head was shaking like a rattle, saying that her neighbors and friends got along well with me, knowing that it was very hard to raise children alone, and she often helped me.
As for the daughter, it is even more impossible. The daughter has always been cowardly and fearless, and it is impossible for her to offend others.
I asked the child’s father again? Even if I get divorced, my daughter should not ignore it when she encounters such a thing.
Ms. Wu suddenly started crying and sighed helplessly, saying that his husband was definitely a heartless thing. Since the divorce, she has not only transferred all the assets of the family, but only left it to her unrenovated house, and she never even came to see her daughter and ignored her life and death.
I was angry. Why are there such a heartless man in the world? But I can't judge other people's husbands. I can only be considered an outsider. Every family has difficult sutras. I will not evaluate a person at will before I understand the situation.
Soon, it became dark. I recited the "Tao Te Ching" to calm myself down, and then asked Ms. Wu if she was ready? We were going to summon souls now.
Ms. Wu nodded and said she was ready.
So I found a red rope, soaked it in white wine and salt, and tied the soul-suming banner and the big rooster together with the red rope.
The soul is too unstable, not to mention that it has been so long. If I take the soul all the way home, I am afraid that the soul will dissipate automatically. That's why I bought this big rooster.
Don’t underestimate this big rooster. This big rooster determines whether the demise of Ms. Wu’s daughter Sou is complete. After I attract Sou, I will let Sou ride on the big rooster’s back and go home!
The big rooster is originally a yin, and not only will it not collide with the soul, it can even play a warm role.
After making these preparations, I immediately asked Ms. Wu to draw a few places where her daughter often went, and asked her to take the soul-summoning banner to search for these places. While searching, she was calling her daughter's name. She must not pause at all.
Ms. Wu agreed without hesitation and then took me around.
I followed Ms. Wu closely, afraid that Ms. Wu would make a mistake.
We went downstairs and turned around nearby. Several night shifters were frightened when they saw Ms. Wu's strange appearance and hid far away. Ms. Wu was too lazy to pay attention to them, but just did the same way I said.
Ms. Wu first came to the square in front of the community. Before going to school on weekdays, she would run and exercise in the square. Isn’t it the place where her daughter stays the most?
Ms. Wu held the soul-summoning banner and led the big rooster around the square, but there was nothing unusual.
There was no wind tonight, the soul-summoning banner drooped, and the big rooster followed Ms. Wu honestly and walked forward in a regular manner.
Then Ms. Wu ran around the community again, but she didn't encounter any abnormalities after running around.
I felt disappointed in my heart, thinking that her daughter's soul was really attached to Hongling, and Hongling had been taken away by someone who was interested?
After searching around the community, she couldn't find her daughter's soul. Ms. Wu cried anxiously, feeling pitiful.
I immediately comforted Ms. Wu not to cry. Think about it carefully, where else is there where my daughter went most?
After thinking about it, Ms. Wu suddenly said that there was a lake park behind the community, and her daughter often went there to relax. I immediately asked Ms. Wu to go to that place and then look for it.
It is already early morning, so there is no one. The sparse starlight is hidden in the dark clouds, looming. The cool breeze blows the branches and makes a rustling sound. The moonlight sprinkles on the ground through the dry branches, illuminating mottled shadows.
Ms. Wu held up a white soul-summoning banner, and a rooster tied to the soul-summoning banner. This scene is really a bit cunning.
However, Ms. Wu seemed to have focused all her attention on finding her daughter, so she did not notice the strangeness of the surrounding environment.
This seems to be a path that people walk out, surrounded by jungles and weeds, and there are few people on the road. I really can't understand why Ms. Wu chose to take this path.
Moreover, this path seemed to be very long. We walked for a long time but couldn't get out of this place. If Ms. Wu hadn't led the way, I would even doubt whether we had encountered a ghost wall and would never get out.
After walking on this road for about ten minutes, I suddenly noticed something strange!
Not far ahead, there were a slight summoning sound, which was like a weak cry of a woman. It was hoarse, mechanical, like a rude electronic sound, without any popularity.
The other party seemed to be shouting a certain name, but it is unknown which one he called. I frowned and immediately became energetic!
In the early morning, such a strange sound appeared in such a remote place, it must be abnormal.
Originally, I wanted to stop Ms. Wu, but Ms. Wu didn't seem to hear the strange sound and continued to move forward. I shouted twice in a row, but I couldn't stop Ms. Wu. She probably wanted her daughter to recover, right? She was all her energy on her daughter's soul, so it was normal not to hear it.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided not to stop Ms. Wu. The sound was strange and might even be dangerous, but the more dangerous and weird the place, the more likely it was to hide clues about Ms. Wu's daughter's soul was lost.
Even if there is danger, it is necessary to take risks! Even if you can't beat the other party at that time, you can escape.
I also carry the Peach Soul Flower. After calculating the time, the Peach Soul Flower has also gathered enough yin energy, so it should be no problem to save us from danger.
The other party was approaching us, and as the distance between us became closer, I clearly saw a lonely lamp swaying back and forth in the air. The lonely lamp emitted a faint white light, and behind the lonely lamp, there was a black shadow.
This reminds me of the ‘ghost lights’.
When a ghost lights up the lamp, it means that a ghost is holding a yang fire and "hitting the soul" on the road. In layman's terms, it is to look for a scapegoat. If someone who is not eye-catching, especially a drunk and confused person, he will definitely die.
After thinking about this, I had a headache. Why did I encounter such a thing in the middle of the night?
It was a bit unreasonable to me when I watched with my back, so I quickly ran over, patted Ms. Wu on the shoulder, and whispered to Ms. Wu: "Did you see the white light in front of me? After getting closer, it may deliberately rub against you. Don't, you must avoid it anyway, do you understand?"
Ms. Wu was shocked and quickly looked forward, only then did she notice the white light.
She looked at me with fear: "What is that white light...?"
I took a deep breath and said, "Remember what I said, don't just bump into it later. Okay, keep moving forward now. Don't mess with the other party."
Although Ms. Wu was afraid, she thought that her daughter was suffering from inhuman torture, and finally she nodded resolutely and walked forward step by step.
I was hiding in the small forest, staring at the thing tightly.
As long as there is any movement in the thing, I will immediately jump out to protect Ms. Wu.
Soon, Ms. Wu approached Bai Guang. After getting closer, I looked carefully and felt frigid all over.
Ms. Wu was so scared that she opened her mouth wide and even forgot to continue moving forward. She just stood there in a daze with the soul-summoning banner. If it weren't for the obsession of saving her daughter supporting her, Ms. Wu would have already run away!
