52. Boy Sha
There are many hills in Jixiang County and few plains, and the largest plain has been built into the county town.
In order to ensure people's livelihood, the New Han Dynasty encouraged farmers to work in hills, mountains and deserts at the beginning of its founding. Emperor Taizu also issued an edict that the cultivated land reclaimed from wasteland belonged to laborers.
The Zhou family made their fortune because of this. Their family moved from another place, but did not hide in the county town to help others with work. Instead, they went out to reclaim wasteland in the hilly areas outside the county town, and worked hard and finally earned this huge foundation.
Later, people who fled came to this place, either sold themselves to the Zhou family, or rented land as tenants, and they built thatched huts and thatched houses around the Zhou family, and in this way, Zhoujiatun appeared.
After Wang Qilin chased out of the village, he saw several small hills snuggling with each other. Dong Jihu sniffed and pointed at the West and said, "Let's hurry here!"
The two walked over a hill on the farmland, and a fast-moving child appeared below.
What's strange is that although this child was moving, he was not running. His legs were drooping straight, his feet were standing on tiptoe and only touching the ground with his toes, and then his arms were spread out, like a paper man moving in the wind.
Wang Qilin saw this scene while watching a movie in his dream. A ghost woman had such a look on a big ship.
On the other side, Dong Jihu was shocked: "The ghost carries people? Isn't it a ghost?"
The so-called ghost lifts people means that two ghosts hold their bodies from both sides of a person and lead people to run. There are ancient books that record this kind of thing: if a ghost lifts a person, he will not sink when he wades in the water, and walks like a ground when he walks like a flying person. If he walks over a mountain, he walks like a flying person, and walks along uneven rocks like a flat road.
Since we want to lift a person, it is naturally not something that a ghost can do, so they face at least two ghosts.
Xu Da's expression was as usual, and he said disdainfully: "Looking at the speed of this ghost lifting people, at most two lonely ghosts are not afraid!"
The more powerful a ghost is, the faster it is to lift people. The dead ghost can carry people to run for a hundred steps. There is really nothing to be afraid of like this ghost who is chased by ordinary people.
Xu Da rushed down.
Dong Jihu hurriedly said, "Don't be reckless, those are at least two ghosts!"
Wang Qilin said: "Hesitation will lead to defeat, and decisiveness will give it in vain!"
"so!"
"Where is the demon going?"
The internal force of the qi sinks into the Dantian and rushes out into a stern shout. He turns around and pulls out the horse and swers his arms and swings it out.
The demon sword flew like a javelin.
The sun shines on the blade with a cold light shining like a thunderbolt in the clear sky!
The long sword fell down and was inserted less than two feet in front of the child.
The sword is shining!
The child fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Dong Jihu ran down and said in surprise: "Mr. Wang's knife is extraordinary, it can actually intimidate ghosts and evil spirits."
Wang Qilin said: "Your dragon-storming jade is also extraordinary."
When Dong Jihu talked about this, he was a little proud: "This is what my second brother specifically asked a Taoist master. To be honest, I can get this job all depends on my baby."
The child woke up after landing. When he saw Wang Qilin and Dong Jihu who came first, he was so scared that he quickly climbed back. However, after Xu Da, who was black-faced and fierce, he was no longer afraid and reached out to Xu Da.
Xu Da had a handful of silkworm pupae that had been roasted until burnt.
When they returned to the village, they saw their lost son, Zhou Xiaohe and his wife were overjoyed. They kowtowed violently and then quickly made tea to welcome guests.
Wang Qilin said: "Don't be busy, I have something to ask you."
Zhou Xiaohe served them one by one and said, "Sir, the villain must say everything."
Wang Qilin first asked the child: "Xiaoliu, who took you away just now?"
The child did not speak, hid behind his mother and ate silkworm pupae.
Xu Da came forward, and the child said, "It's Sister Teng. Sister Teng reached out from the window to pull me out and said she would take me to a place where I can have enough food and have many friends..."
"Sister headscarf?" Before he could finish his words, Zhou Wang suddenly collapsed on the ground: "It's Xiao Nier, Xiao Nier. Look, what am I talking about? It's Xiao Nier!"
Zhou Xiaohe said with a sad face: "How can it be her? Even if it is her, we have nothing to do with her. The funeral that day was the coffin that I carried for her!"
Wang Qilin looked at Dong Jihu: "Who is this little Ni'er?"
Dong Jihu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, Zhou Jin, you say."
Zhou Jin, who was burly, clasped his fists and said, "As for orders, this little Ni'er is Zhou Mazi's daughter. She is well-behaved and sensible. Usually, when we adults go to the fields, she will show us the children, so the adults and children in the village prefer her. But, alas!"
"This baby is not lucky. He has a birthmark on his face. It's not good-looking. Her father doesn't care about her and says that she will lose money if she doesn't get married in the future. Then she lost it again more than ten days ago, and was taken away by a wolf or some beast..."
"It was twenty days ago, twenty days ago." Zhou Wang corrected, "The grandfather Zhou's grandson was in the funeral the day Xiao Ni'er was lost. Now it's about to burn 300 yuan. I just went to the house to help buy the outfit."
Hearing this, Wang Qilin laughed. Someone was having a funeral and the child happened to be lost? Is this a coincidence?
Zhou Jin said again: "Yes, this miserable child was lost for three days and was later found to be dead. The corpse was chewed by the beast, so he had to be buried in a hurry."
Hearing this, Dong Jihu said: "A boy and girl will turn into a boy evil after she dies unjustly or dies suddenly. Could it be that the one who causes trouble this time is a boy evil?"
Wang Qilin didn't answer, and he asked back: "You didn't know about such a big thing before?"
Dong Jihu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Wang, this is not my responsibility, no one told me about this!"
Wang Qilin asked again: "There is also the grandson of Zhou who is burning Sanqi, which means that this young master has just died recently? Does he have anything to do with the case?"
Dong Jihu rubbed his hands awkwardly: "I, I, no one told me this, and it shouldn't matter, right? Grandpa Zhou's grandson has been dead for twenty days, right?"
I don’t know one question!
Wang Qilin's face darkened, and Dong Jihu only dared to smile.
He asked the Zhou couple again: "Zhou, you just said that you guessed that Xiao Ni'er was the one who caused this? Why?"
Zhou said: "Sir, didn't we lose seven children in our village? What we calculated was that seven days after Xiao Ni'er died, she started to lose children on the eighth day, one a day, and seven were lost, so the village guessed it was related to Xiao Ni'er."
Wang Qilin nodded. The boy died for seven days. If the Yin was unable to pull away the ghost, it would turn into a boy evil.
But he didn't believe the words of a few people.
Dong Jihu had not found any information about Xiao Ni'er in the village for many days. Either everyone was covering up something, or he was stupid.
He felt that there was something strange about Zhoujiatun this time.
If I hadn't happened to meet the child Liuzi being taken away by a ghost today, the information about Xiao Ni'er would have been concealed.
Obviously, Xiao Ni'er is a key point.
