【015】Ghost Curse
There was something on the stone wall... Xiao Ming took a closer look, and it turned out to be a painting that looked like a charm. It was a painting, but it didn't look like a painting. It just drew a circle, and a triangular pattern was drawn on the edge of the circle. At the bottom, a frightened human figure is drawn.
Looking at this strange pattern, Xiao Ming felt inexplicably uneasy. The shape of the totem was very similar to the one on Xiao Xi's clothes. Could her death be related to the totem?
Xiao Ming suddenly appeared in front of the cook, "Ah, Xiao Mingzi, where did you come from?" he exaggeratedly shouted, attracting Jiang Rong and others who were looking sad in the room.
He did not tell the reason why he suddenly appeared, but took out a piece of toilet paper and drew what he drew. Don't forget, he also likes to draw. He just painted the patterns on the stone wall in a few or two strokes. I drew it meticulously on toilet paper.
"What is this?" Jiang Rong asked curiously, while looking at Junjun beside her, "Have you seen this pattern?"
Junjun shook his head, "I've never seen it before. It's completely different from a geometric diagram."
"Is it the legendary ghost curse?" He Pengfei asked one after another.
"Absolutely not, I think it's just an ordinary pattern." There was a flurry of arguments, the father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, and everyone was red-faced.
The cook walked over calmly with a calm demeanor, picked up her apron and wiped away the water stains on her hands. Then, under the gaze of everyone, she slowly picked up the piece of paper Xiao Ming placed on the dining table and read it carefully. Once, his expression changed and he said: "It's a ghost curse. In ancient legends, there is a saying that the soul of a person who died unjustly will wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the humans who persecuted him. Later, a mage who knew how to exorcise evil carefully drew a curse. The meaning of such a ghost curse totem is to suppress the recently deceased soul and prevent it from doing evil in the world.
When the other friends heard that the cook confirmed that this was a ghost curse totem, and said this intriguing statement, a dense and strange feeling suddenly appeared around them. They were arguing about it just now, and they immediately fell silent. Everyone Their faces were so frightened that they didn't even dare to ask where Xiao Ming got the totem.
Even if asked, Xiao Ming might not tell him. The cook tried to test him, "Where did you see this?"
Xiao Ming shook his head and said ambiguously: "It's not important where you got it. What's important is, do you remember the pattern I saw on Xiao Xi's clothes that day? It was very similar to this one."
The cook was speechless, and the others were even more silent. Jiang Rong looked preoccupied, staring at a place in a daze. Looking at her lonely look, it was clear that she was thinking about the missing Han Bin.
In the end, Xiao Ming did not explain where the ghost curse totem came from. He felt that this totem must have some connection with the deceased Xiao Xi, so he secretly decided to go to the police station to have a look. The cook was busy with other matters and did not continue to question Xiao Ming. What.
All of a sudden, the people in the room dispersed and walked away. The remaining Jiang Rong, Junjun and a few other friends didn't know what to do next or if anything would happen. Anyway, they felt uneasy. Restless.
When Xiao Ming left the old house, Qian warned Jiang Rong and the others not to leave the old house without authorization. No matter what happened, they must wait until he came back.
Because a second suicide case occurred in an old house in the county seat, the police station promptly transferred the case to the county public security bureau. When Xiao Ming came to the police station, the director of the police station told him that the case had been transferred and that if there were any problems, he should report it to the county seat branch.
Xiao Ming knows that now is no different than before. In the past, those old comrades had more or less dealings with Aunt Ran Qin. As long as she mentioned her name, people still had to show some kindness, and most of the people transferred by the county branch were young people. , it is simply unrealistic to try to get information about Xiao Xi’s suicide case from these young people.
Instead of going to the county branch to get into trouble, it would be better to harass them at the police station to see what they think of this totem. Xiao Ming was prepared to be scolded. Under the watchful eyes of the old police station director, he took out a wrinkled totem on it. Paper comes.
"What is this?" the old director looked at him curiously and asked. At the same time, his facial muscles were trembling, and he stared intently at the paper that the other party carefully took out from his hand. He was not sure what secrets were on the paper.
Slowly unfolding the paper and flattening it with his fingers, Xiao Ming whispered: "They said it was a ghost curse..."
"Nonsense, just playing the piano randomly, what kind of ghost curse, feudal superstition, take it away, take it away..." Unexpectedly, the old director's temper flared up faster than expected, and he didn't even look at the totem carefully. , he waved his hands and told Xiao Ming to take it away.
Xiao Ming came out of the police station angrily. He was confused and did not dare to go to the county branch anymore, so he returned directly to his old home.
In the old house, the cook was cooking. He Pengfei was chewing raw sweet potatoes and humming a tuneless tune. He was the most calm one about Han Bin's disappearance. With how bold he was, he passed by the old lady who was sealed by a seal. In the mourning hall, I still had to slow down my pace, be careful, turn around and leave, turn around and duck into the toilet.
Junjun helps in the kitchen.
"Auntie, do you think Master Luo will find clues?"
"It's hard to say," the cook said expressionlessly as she raised her hair on her forehead to cover her sight.
"Auntie, I think Xiao Xi is possessed by evil spirits. She has no sign of committing suicide, right?" Jun Jun chased after her, thinking of Xiao Xi's actions before she committed suicide. She had no intention of committing suicide at all. Death was not only sudden to Jiang Rong, but also incredible to her.
"Oh," the cook gave Junjun a scrutinizing look, but then quickly withdrew her gaze and continued her work.
Jiang Rong has been feeling sleepy in recent days. She just fell asleep when she felt someone calling her. She leaned up slightly and felt someone flashing at the door of the room...
Xiao Ming returned to his old house and couldn't find Jiang Rong after walking around for a few times. His heart suddenly became confused. Calm down, calm down, he said to himself. Suddenly he remembered something and hurriedly called out to one of the boys named Xiao Xin. Run outside.
"What are they doing?" Junjun asked curiously.
The cook ignored her, picked up the dustpan for washing rice and went into the house.
"Should we go," the youngest boy said to Junjun and the others.
"Go and have a look,"
"No, Master Luo said, we must be obedient and don't act without authorization,"
