Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine. [Case Seventeen] Face to Face

Although I could see the ghost old lady, its target of attack was not me after all, because it was Hu Zongren who yelled at it while peeing disrespectfully. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Hu Zongren was really in a hurry to urinate. But seeing Hu Zongren

Zong Ren was dragged backwards on the ground to the middle of the road, which still surprised me. Although it was very late at this time, the traffic flow on this road was still relatively large, because most trucks transported materials from this road.

In the direction of Chengdu. Not to mention large trucks, they tend to drive very fast and often cannot stop even if they try to brake.

So I didn't have time to think too much. After I got rid of the oppressive feeling, I rushed forward and grabbed Hu Zongren's ankle. The ghost old lady was not riding on Hu Zongren's body at this moment, but was lying on the ground in a prostrate posture.

On Hu Zongren's body, he stretched out his hand and jammed Hu Zongren's neck. Hu Zongren stretched out his tongue in pain because his neck was stuck, and started kicking with his feet. He also covered his neck with his hands. During the kicking process,

I was kicked by Hu Zongren several times. Seeing that Hu Zongren was getting closer and closer to the carriageway, if I walked a few meters further, my head might be directly under the wheel, so I turned around and headed towards

In the direction of the guardrail, I tried to pull Hu Zongren to the roadside in the opposite direction, but the ghost old lady was very strong, and with the humiliation and stimulation from Hu Zongren just now, I was probably a little bit irrational at the moment, and I realized that my strength was no match for it.

, so he immediately turned around, used the thunder talisman in his left hand and the Wuzi Jue in his right hand, clasped his hands together and hit the ghost old lady on the head.

With a sharp scream, I seemed to be hit hard by something in the chest, causing me to hold my breath for a short time, and then fell to the ground. Hu Zongren was able to break free. At this moment, his upper body was already in the carriageway.

I shouted to Hu Zongren in a hoarse voice, please get back quickly, otherwise you will be hit to death and you will not be able to escape. Although Hu Zongren was weak, he was still conscious. Hearing what I said, he struggled towards the roadside.

After climbing for a while, he stood up, staggered to my side, and then helped me up. At this time, a large truck roared past us, and it was so fast that I could almost feel my body being hit by the vehicle.

The airflow generated by the start almost got caught in it. Hu Zongren and I supported each other and walked to the roadside. I looked around, looking for traces of the ghost old lady. Hu Zongren said, let's run quickly. This guy is angry and can't be dealt with.

I glared at him and said, you are so damn angry, could you please stop being so impulsive next time. Hu Zongren didn't say anything, he just pulled me up and walked towards the car.

The damage I suffered was minor, just a bump, so that I now feel a constriction in my chest, as if I had eaten a strong uncooked nut. Hu Zongren's shoulder seemed to have been injured when he came to the bottom just now, and he kept

Covering it with my hands, I asked him what was wrong, and he said it seemed that he hit a joint when he fell and it was slightly dislocated. I have never learned how to set bones, and I can't pull them back like in those movies.

Pick you up at the place. I said you take the passenger seat and I'll drive. Let's go back first.

Fortunately, the place we were going to was the hospital, so Hu Zongren could persist for a while. After getting in the car, I quickly closed all the doors and windows, then applied dressing on the windows, and then used my fastest but safe method

He rushed back to the hospital quickly.

When I parked the car, I called Zhao Jing and asked her to come downstairs and take Hu Zongren to the emergency room to deal with the dislocation first. I went directly back to the old lady's ward. Zhao Jing saw our embarrassed appearance.

Finally, I was very surprised and asked us what happened. I shook my head and did not answer her, saying that we would talk about these things later. But when I returned to the ward, I found Mr. Leng sitting alone in front of the window, a little tired.

Rubbing my brow, I saw that the woman had disappeared. I asked Mr. Leng where the woman had gone. He told me that she had gone to the nurse's station to accompany her to the bed. I guess I would have to stay here tonight.

I looked at the old lady who was sleeping soundly on the bed. I had some doubts in my heart that I still couldn't get the answer to. So when no one else was around, I secretly took out my compass and carefully checked around the old lady. I found that this old lady was sleeping in bed.

My wife is just as I guessed, she is a good and complete person.

So I sat down on the chair next to the bed dejectedly, and started thinking hard again. After a while, the woman came back, and he looked a little surprised when he saw me sitting on the side, but maybe it was because of the look on my face at that time.

It didn't look good, so she didn't ask me anything. After a while, Hu Zongren and Zhao Jing also came back. Hu Zongren looked embarrassed, and he knew he had suffered a lot just now. I looked at him

When he came back, he and the woman were called outside the door.

I asked that woman, is there a person named "Zhao Manting" in your family? This is the only thing I can think of asking this woman at the moment, because the grave in question is next to this grave with a tombstone. If

If the two deceased people did not know each other, they would not be buried together. The woman thought for a while and said, the names sounded familiar, but she really couldn’t remember them. I asked her again, is there anyone in your family who is buried?

Near Baishiyi? The woman said that when I was a child, I heard my mother say that my hometown was in the area of ​​Baishiyi, but we have been in the city since we were very young, so those things are not very clear. You may want to ask me.

Mom just found out, didn't you go to investigate the scene? Why did you ask this suddenly? I didn't answer the woman's question. It was already late, the old lady had gone to bed long ago, and because she was old and injured,

It seemed inappropriate to wake her up at this time. So Hu Zongren and I decided to sleep in the car tonight and ask the old lady tomorrow when she woke up.

So that night, Zhao Jing found a small hotel to stay near the hospital, while Hu Zongren and I returned to my car and fell asleep. Even though it was very uncomfortable, my car was safer after all. But I

I had to endure Hu Zongren’s snoring in the middle of the night and his occasional farts.

We woke up very early the next day, because sleeping in the car was really uncomfortable. We called Zhao Jing, and then the three of us had something to eat at the entrance of the hospital and then went to the ward. We didn’t know what was going on.

What happened one night? The relationship between Mr. Leng and the woman seemed to have improved. They were chatting and laughing as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened. Mr. Leng saw us coming, so he walked up to us and said, yesterday

In the evening, I made it clear to this elder sister that I would cover all the old lady’s medical expenses, including the subsequent treatment expenses. These are all I should bear. Then I symbolically calculated the expenses for wasting everyone’s time these days.

Even if the matter is over. We are very happy to see that he can solve the matter by himself. Hu Zongren even apologized to the woman, saying that he was impulsive the first day and detained her. Although the woman still felt

Some were afraid of us, but they accepted Hu Zongren's apology.

The old lady seemed to be in good spirits, so after I casually chatted with her for a few words, I quickly brought the topic to her family. I asked her if she knew a person named Zhao Manting. She first heard this name.

At that time, she seemed a little surprised, and she told me that it was her uncle.

I asked her again, do you still remember where your uncle was buried after his death? The old lady said that she was not close to her uncle's family. Her grandfather did business in Chongqing in the early years, and it was still the end of the Qing Dynasty.

.And there are four children in my mother’s side. My eldest uncle is doing business with my grandfather. My mother is the third child. The second child is an aunt who died when she was young. The fourth child is also an uncle, but I have never met him. I asked her

Why haven't you met your uncle? The old lady told me that my uncle was sent to someone else's home for foster care when he was very young. At that time, my mother was also married, so the relationship between her brothers and sisters was not the same.

We were not close. We only regained contact with my uncle a few years before my mother died. A few years after my mother died, my uncle also passed away, and we had no contact since then. I asked her, how old are you?

My uncle died in 1990, right? The old lady said it seemed so. I said you just knew that your uncle was dead, but you didn’t know where he was buried, right? The old lady nodded and said yes, because her mother died.

Later, their hometown was facing demolition, and they, as rural people, didn't pay much attention to it. They hadn't been back to see their mother's grave for decades, and they only set up a memorial tablet at home to worship it.

When it came to this point, I had basically guessed most of it. So I asked her, is your mother buried on a hill near the highway where Baishiyi is now? The old lady asked in surprise, are you?

How do you know? I said I guessed, and I wasn't sure that it was your mother, but I found another tomb next to that tomb, and that tomb belongs to your uncle Zhao Manting.

In fact, I am pretty much relying on my guess. The reason was because when I was checking Mr. Leng’s car in the garage, after blowing out the incense ash, I noticed that the ghost’s feet were a little strange. It seemed that he only had a thumb and no other toes. In addition,

After getting up, I helped the old lady stretch out her feet for air. I also observed that the old lady's toes were intact. In this case, I was basically sure that it was not the same person, but there was not enough evidence that I could not

This guess was eliminated directly. And I couldn't help but start to imagine. What kind of person might look very similar to this old lady, but her feet were incomplete? After thinking for a long time, I realized that this was probably the old lady's mother.

The so-called feet without toes is not really true, but because in the old lady’s mother’s era, women had to have their feet bound. I once saw the feet of those old ladies with bound feet on the Internet, and their shape was actually

Very similar to the marks I found on the car.

So when Hu Zongren and I found those two tombs, I knew that as long as I confirmed that one of the two tombs had some relationship with the old lady, then the other one would most likely be buried with her.

Mother.
