MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 46
In the evening, when he returned to Su Village Chief's house, Zhou Ziruo sensed something was wrong from Mu Qijun's constipated face, and asked him what happened with his eyes.
At the dinner table, Mu Qijun was chewing the food in his mouth absently, and the marks on Sujin's back kept shaking in front of his eyes. How could a grown man who grew up in modern society fail to see what that was? But Sujin is just a sixteen-year-old girl! This is about a young girl's reputation, and it may affect her life. How dare he spread it everywhere?
Sujin is ugly in appearance and withdrawn. She goes out during the day to catch fish in the river and wanders up the mountain. The crazy guy who did those things to her didn't have many chances to get in touch with her. Unless... it's night—
Mu Qijun's eyes couldn't help hesitating between the Su family's father and daughter, startled by his sudden thought, and hastily lowered his head to dig the rice in the bowl as if to cover up, Leng Mo, who was sitting beside him, watched Look at him thoughtfully.
The ancients fell asleep early at night, Lu Lixiao took Zhou Ziruo to say goodbye, and after leaving Village Chief Su's house, he did not return to Duan's house, but walked towards the end of the village.
Tomorrow they will pay respects to the elders of the Duan family and they will have no excuse to stay in the village. If Zhou Zi knows that Lu Lixiao plans to work overtime to search for clues, to be honest, he is more anxious than Lu Lixiao. Sujin's side mission has no idea yet!
During the day, I found out from an old man that Mrs. Liu had a close relationship with a spirit woman in the village. Although Mrs. Liu may not have anything to do with the old case thirty years ago, without other clues, Lu Lixiao decided to check this person more to try his luck.
The ancients were superstitious. It stands to reason that the profession of magic stick should be more popular in ancient times than in modern times, but the ling woman in Daohe Village is not as popular as her peers. Be cast aside and ignored. The reason is nothing more than being too unprofessional and not professional enough. He opened his mouth again and again, and finally showed his feet.
The Lingpo's family also lives near the end of the village, not far from the Liu family. The Liu family believes in ghosts and gods, and is probably the only one in the village who does not regard the Lingma as a liar, so they have a lot of contacts.
As I said before, the lingpo has lost her prestige in the village, so in order to make a living, she has to deceive people in the small towns outside the village. Every morning before dawn, she leaves home and goes to the towns in this area to do divination and fortune-telling. Returning late at night, decades have been like a day.
Lu Lixiao followed the route provided by the old man to the outside of the shabby hut where the Lingma lived, and knocked on the door, but there was no response. Probably the spirit woman has not come back yet.
Zhou Ziruo leaped from Lu Lixiao's arms onto Lu Lixiao's shoulders, looked around boredly, and suddenly saw an old face as stiff and blue as toad skin in the bushes!
He was so scared that he almost rolled off Lu Lixiao's shoulders, the grass was rustling, and the crooked old woman walked out from the shadows with a cane.
Lu Lixiao noticed a compass-shaped object protruding from the old woman's back, and confirmed, "Senior Lingma?"
Zhou Ziruo, who was scared to death for half his life, slandered Lu Lixiao for wanting to investigate the case. This old woman is a charlatan and a senior!
The Lingma opened her mouth, and said with a hoarse and harsh voice, "Young man, old lady, I see that your seal is black, and you may be **** in the near future! Come, I have a piece of safety here, please take two taels of silver, please go back!"
Zhou Ziruo stuck out his tongue when he was so familiar with the lines that he could recite them backwards.
Half a moment later, a dim yellow light lit up in the dilapidated hut of Lingpo.
Lu Lixiao sat at the wooden table with two missing corners, holding a greasy cup in his hand. The Lingma sat across the table, took a sip of the rust-stained boiled water to moisten her throat with relish, and said: "The first day that woman from the Liu family moved into the village, I knew she was destined to be very rich when I saw her! So take care of her on weekdays and make friends with her..."
Zhou Ziruo thought to himself that this ling woman is upright, although she still blows herself into a life-threatening look, she admits her ambitions aboveboard, and even feels a little complacent.
"It's a pity that her face is not the one that remains the same. She suddenly changed her destiny. Although she can still be rich and powerful, it will not last long. Not only that, she will also affect the people around her. It happened that at that time, her relatives sent letters asking their mother and daughter to go Settling down in the city, I made a false divination for her and advised her to move early." The Lingma said confidently.
Zhou Ziruo already admired this great man so much.
Lu Lixiao heard the key point in the words: "Is her family relative?"
"Their family is flourishing, and they have a lot of relatives." The Lingma took another sip of water, "The woman came from a wealthy family, and she had a good eye with the long-term worker in the family. She ran away when her family objected. Who knows whether the child was born or not?" Two days later, her husband died unexpectedly. She was a young lady who had never touched the spring water, and she took her daughter alone for several years without food. At this time, she received a letter from a relative asking them to live a rich life, and she was naturally moved." Speaking of this At the beginning, she seemed to realize that it would not be so honorable for her to cheat people away by making false predictions, and added, "Even if I don't lie to her, she will definitely leave at that time!"
Lu Lixiao asked: "Did Liu's mother and daughter go to Yiyang City?"
"Eh? You know?" Lingma was surprised.
Lu Lixiao asked again: "Senior, do you know the name of the relative they defected to? Where does they live in Yiyang City?"
The Lingma thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's been so long, who still remembers the names of people they don't know? I don't know where they live, but it seems to be a big family in Yiyang City."
"Senior, do you still remember the names of Liu's mother and daughter?"
The Lingpo said: "The woman took her husband's surname. Her original name was Fang Peiyin, and her daughter's single name is an eyebrow."
Fang Peiyin, Liu Mei.
Lu Lixiao wrote down these two names and stood up, "Thank you senior tonight..."
"Wait, you're leaving just like that? Don't ask anything else?" Lingma's cloudy old eyes twirled on the money bag hanging on Lu Lixiao's waist.
Lu Lixiao said: "Senior, what do you remember about Liu's mother and daughter?"
The Lingma said: "The old lady knows a lot about Liu's affairs, but most of them are useless to you. It's Village Chief Su, I heard that you live in his house? The old lady knows some secrets about his family, you don't want to hear it listen?"
"Oh?" There was a half-smile on Lu Lixiao's lips, "If the senior is interested in explaining it in detail, the younger one will be all ears."
"Hey... If you are interested, there is no one else to talk about these things except you outsiders! Do you know Mrs. Wang, the wife of Village Chief Su?" The Lingma asked back.
Lu Lixiao nodded, "I've heard a little bit about it. I heard that the village head Su and his wife are deeply in love. After many years since the village head's wife passed away, the village head still refuses to reunite."
"Heh..." the Lingma sneered, "All the folks have been deceived by the appearance of Village Chief Su! Mrs. Wang and Village Chief Su were almost a nominal couple before his death. Where did the love come from! "
Lu Lixiao's handsome eyes narrowed slightly.
"This is what Mrs. Wang told my wife before he was alive. Mrs. Wang married into the village from a nearby county. She has been ill for many years. At that time, the villagers were not as ignorant as they are now, and they still believed in me. One day, Mrs. Wang came to the door and asked me to make a fortune for her. Guess what she predicted?" Ya smiled strangely at Lu Lixiao, "Marriage! The Wang family is divining marriage!"
Lu Lixiao's face was expressionless, but Zhou Ziruo raised his ears. Wang's own daughters have been born, and they still have a marriage?
"The object of divination of marriage is the head of Su Village. The old woman made a divination for her, and the divination was not good. She cried and cried from it. The old woman thought her crying was annoying, so she threw a straw doll to her to confide in, and then went out. Who knows that I forgot my things and went back to the house to get them, just in time to hear her complaining to the straw doll, saying that the village head Su treated her coldly and alienated after she got married, and had very few intercourses, especially after the birth of girl Jin. She is gone! She suspects that Village Chief Su has someone else in his heart, and she just married her to explain to the two elders of the Su family!" After saying "hehe" and laughing, "You think, Village Chief Su may miss her for a long time after Wang's death. Will you?"
Zhou Ziruo nodded, it was indeed strange to see it this way. But what does this have to do with Duan Peng's death thirty years ago? Duan Peng died on Qingyang Mountain. The snowball got bigger and bigger, but it got farther and farther away from their goal.
Lu Lixiao asked: "If there is really a woman that Village Chief Su cares about, what do seniors think?"
The spirit woman shook her head, "I don't know. Village Chief Su is honest and courteous, and he has never been ambiguous with any woman in the village. But more than ten years ago...probably the few months before Village Chief Su got married, He once spent ten taels of silver begging me to find some spiritual sand and ink for him, that time I really tormented the old woman!"
"Soul sand and ink?"
"Yes. You are also a member of the Taoist sect, and you know that the paintings made with lingsha and lingink are likely to be psychic, so the old woman guessed that the village head Su used those lingsha and lingink to paint the portrait of the woman he wanted! "
portrait!
Lu Lixiao and Zhou Ziruo looked at each other, and they both remembered what happened at breakfast.
In the dead of night, the lights in the entire Daohe Village were completely extinguished except for Lingpo's house. Village Chief Su's house was pitch black, and in the silence, there was a slight "squeak" sound. The little spider that had just climbed to the door hurriedly swung all eight legs, and narrowly escaped being trampled into mud by one foot. destiny.
Village head Su put his footsteps down to silence, and slowly entered Sujin's room. The girl who hugged the quilt tightly even in her sleep on the bed was like a branded slave. Once the slave owner stepped into the sensing range, the terrible slave mark in her body would be burned in response to the call of the devil!
Su Jin's eyes widened suddenly were filled with humiliation and fear. Village Chief Su covered her mouth with a cloth, picked her up in the dark, and closed the door of their room. They looked like father and daughter. Still sleeping soundly in their respective rooms.
Village head Su left home with his daughter full of despair and sadness in his arms. He never found Mu Qijun hiding behind the concealed door and witnessed all this.
