Chapter 1108 Deceptive memory
Seeing that the parasite died, the woman immediately collapsed on the ground and vomited violently. The thing she vomited was like asphalt, black and sticky and rancid, with blood mixed in it. dead.

Under such circumstances, Fang Linyan didn't want to cause trouble, so he poured a ladle of water on the face of the boss who was knocked out by himself, and then climbed over the wall next to him at a trot, and then ran away directly.

After arriving on the street, Fang Linyan called Mai Yong and said:

"where are you."

Mai Yong obviously has some lingering fears at this moment:

"It was there just now. It's too miserable. All four members of the Camry family died and were all crushed! The damn driver is still drunk and sleeping at this time!"

However, Fang Linyan knew very well that after the driver had a car accident, part of his brain would be swallowed by the parasitic puppet worms. The driver should be a vegetable at this time, so he said to Mai Yong:

"I'll be right back, and follow the original plan to find that Ma Xianniang. There's no need to look for a motorcycle, I'll drive."

"That's right." Fang Linyan told Mai Yong very seriously: "From now on, you and the people around you should be more cautious when eating, and don't eat any food that will leave our sight during the production process."

Mai Yong nodded.

***
After Fang Linyan took over the driving, it took another one and a half hours to reach Ma Xianniang's house, which is located on a hillside, and it looks as if it was rebuilt on the ruins of a temple.

Fang Linyan has a strong sense of direction. Standing on the drying dam of Ma Xian's mother's house, looking into the distance, he can clearly see Xie Wenqiang's former home - the house that the second sister-in-law left not long ago has a red roof , is actually very recognizable.

About two kilometers away, there is a sparkling river, which is the culprit that made Fang Linyan and his group wait for an hour and a half detour.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Mai Yong whispered to Fang Linyan:

"Ma Xianniang is back."

Fang Linyan looked up, and saw a middle-aged woman in a flowered jacket. She looked quite haggard, her hair was quite gray, and her trouser legs and sleeves were rolled up. It was obvious that she had just landed on the ground.

She also carried a sling on her back, which was half filled with pigweed.

Seeing Fang Linyan and his group of strangers, Ma Xianniang didn't feel stage fright at all, but greeted them loudly:
"Guests, please sit here first, Sister-in-law Heiwa! You can bring me some stools, Sister Dai, make four cups of tea for me! I'll go wash my hands and change my clothes."

Soon, Ma Xianniang changed into a black gown, and at the same time she came out with her hair tied up in a bun, looking neat and tidy:

"What are the gentlemen looking for with my wife?"

Fang Linyan looked at the people around him, and then said:
"Is there somewhere quieter?"

Immediately, Ma Xianniang looked at the people watching the excitement around her. It was strange to say that most of these people left in embarrassment after being seen by Ma Xianniang. Sister-in-law Heiwa and Miss Dai who were called before also came forward to chase them away , and they themselves left.

At this time, Ma Xianniang closed her courtyard door again:
"You can talk now."

Fang Linyan said:

"I'm here to inquire about a person. I don't know much about this person. I only know that the other person also has some mysterious and bizarre methods. People call him an old monster!"

Ma Xianniang's complexion suddenly changed:
"What are you doing with this thing?"

Fang Linyan smiled, took out a stack of money and put it on the bench next to him:
"You don't need to know so much, you just need to answer my question well, and then take the money."

Looking at the pile of money, Ma Xianniang looked a little hesitant, and Fang Linyan also read her concerns, and said simply:

"I have a grudge against this old monster, and this time I came here to trouble him, so you don't have to worry about me doing harm to you."

Ma Xianniang stared at Fang Linyan. Others couldn't feel it, but her eyes obviously became a little deep. Fang Linyan was stunned when he suddenly got a reminder:

"An aborigine tried to use the detection technique on you. His mental power is 21 points, which is far lower than your mental power, so as long as you want to, you can inflict severe damage on it."

Fang Linyan wondered:
"What if I let her probe?"

"Then she'll detect some basic things, like whether you're malicious or not."

Fang Linyan nodded, having made up his mind, he simply let him investigate, but when it was about to end, he simply cut off his mental power and pushed him away.

Apparently, Ma Xianniang's face turned pale immediately. At this moment, she could clearly feel that Fang Linyan was much stronger than she imagined, and immediately said gratefully:

"Thank you, sir, for your mercy!"

Fang Linyan said lightly:
"I have always been tolerant of useful people."

Obviously, Fang Linyan's subtext is, if you are useless to me, then you will soon know my anger!

Faced with Fang Linyan's gaze, Ma Xianniang said simply:

"In fact, I don't know much about the old monster. Most of what I get is rumors, and I only dealt with it once. In fact, I don't even know whether it is male or female, or even human. do not know!"

Fang Linyan said:

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is news, you can tell everything you know, don't hide it, and don't add your subjective judgment presumptuously, let alone omit it."

Then Fang Linyan said to Qian Nunu:

"Finish, and don't try to deceive me, then the money is yours."

Ma Xianniang said:

"Okay, in fact, in our circle, there are also factions. Some worship Huang Daxian, some worship the family god (snake), and some worship Bixia Yuanjun (fox). In fact, these are all excuses. We just didn’t close our eyes after we were born, so we can see some dirty things that ordinary people can’t see.”

What Ma Xianniang said is also a common phenomenon among witches and gods. Some of these people are only bluffing and deceitful, but some also have real skills.

The truth is, they are some human beings whose spiritual power is much more developed than ordinary people, which is equivalent to Liu Xiang/Yao Ming in the field of spiritual power, but this field has not yet been scientifically researched and developed.

Ma Xianniang took a sip of water, then continued:
"I've heard of the word old monster since I was a child, because my mother is also in my profession. She said it was an evil thing that was kicked out of the deep mountains. She usually likes to live in three places, the well in Wangjiagou, The mass grave in Heizhugou, and under the old locust tree in Jianjian Mountain."

Fang Linyan recorded these three places calmly.

Ma Xianniang said:

"The old monster does things completely according to his own preferences. If he encounters someone in trouble and he is in a good mood, he will help."

"However, if you take the initiative to ask for it, the sacrifice you send will be accepted directly, but the rest will be ignored."

"When I was young, I could hear rumors every few months that someone was saved by the old monster. At that time, people around here called it the black lady."

Fang Linyan wondered:
"How can this be judged to be a good thing it did?"

Ma Xianniang said:

"When Hei Niangniang appears, there will be several small whirlwinds around, blowing leaves and branches rattling, people will usually be dazzled, and it takes a while to recover."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Oh, okay, you go on."

Ma Xianniang said:

"However, about twenty years ago, a major event happened. There was a thunderstorm in broad daylight, and there was a loud bang. Even the houses on the edge of the county town were shaken and collapsed. It even rained blood."

"Since then, the black lady has become moody. Many people will pass out when they encounter it, and then get seriously ill, and their bones will also weaken directly."

"At that time, only two months later, there were almost 200 people who were harmed, and a dozen of them died because they couldn't hold on."

"At that time, even the government paid attention to it, and directly dispatched the army to kill it, filled the well in Wangjiagou, and built Taishan Shigandang on it, cut down the old locust tree in Jianjian Mountain, and even uprooted it. "

"At that time, many onlookers saw that there was actually a coffin under the root of the old locust tree. It is said that it was the body of the black lady. The army poured gasoline on it and burned it. Only the mass graves in Heizhugou It was too big and too wide, so I couldn’t deal with it, but since then, even if someone passes by Heizhugou during the daytime, they can still hear the sound of mourning between the graves.”

Fang Linyan thought about it in his mind, and realized that when the black lady had an accident, it almost coincided with the time when he entered the orphanage!It's really hard to say whether this has anything to do with it.

So after pondering for a while, Fang Linyan said:
"What about the relationship between the black lady and the old monster?"

Ma Xianniang said:

"After Hei Niangniang was besieged by the army, it stopped for two years, but then people began to encounter ghosts hitting the wall in the area of ​​Wangjiagou, and the people they encountered usually fell into a coma in the end, and when they finally woke up, they found themselves On the grave, one will suffer a serious illness, but after getting sick, one can often make a fortune."

"And the money is determined according to the illness. If the illness is serious, the fortune will be more; if the illness is mild, the fortune will be less. Not only that, before these people fall into a coma or wake up, they will listen to I heard a strange sound, like an old man coughing."

"Thus, those who have benefited call it the old life (the local dialect, similar to the old uncle), and ordinary people call it the old monster. When encountering the old monster, there will be whirlwinds around, and then there will be one after another in the village. There are rumors that the black lady has returned from the ashes and has come back with a new look."

"That's right!"

Hearing this, Fang Linyan immediately thought of Uncle Xu's drinking buddy, a master photographer, the owner of a fish stall, and a salty and wet old man, Lao He!

The negatives developed by this guy have the ability to exchange their own health for floating wealth, and even transform into unknown wonders!
With this in mind, Fang Linyan began to secretly be vigilant not to underestimate the enemy. It is definitely not easy to transform an ordinary film into something unknown with only the image left by a negative.

This is a tall existence that even space is interested in.

"Is this something you heard from hearsay?" Fang Linyan said.

Ma Xianniang said:

"Yes."

Fang Linyan said:
"Tell me about the conflict between you and the old monster?"

Ma Xianniang sighed and said:
"Actually, there is nothing to say. A family asked me to go to Yin (the sorceress invited the family's dead relatives to go to the upper body). I didn't know until I went there. It turned out that a child was very sick. It's calling the dead grandma's name."

"Then when I went to Yin, everything went well at the beginning, but in the end I was possessed by this old monster. I resisted desperately, but I was not controlled by it. In the end, we both had a stalemate over a cup of tea. It warned I left my body out of my own mind."

"After I came back, my head hurt like it was about to split open. I couldn't sleep all day long. In the end, I was knocked out by the guy at home. I took a breath of relief and got over it slowly. .”

Fang Linyan knew very well that a splitting headache was a sign of impaired mental power. Ma Xianniang herself should be "self-taught" and has mastered a very superficial use of mental power, but the old monster couldn't even suppress her absolutely.

Therefore, the mental strength of the old monster is in the early [-]s, and it is just under [-], otherwise it will constitute crushing.

After asking Ma Xianniang a few more words, the scope of this old monster's activities was basically determined. With Wangjiagou area as the core, draw a circle with a radius of five kilometers, and this guy will be active near there.

Fang Linyan was very satisfied with getting this information, and after throwing 1 yuan in benefits to Ma Xianniang, he went straight back to Badong County.

While driving on the road, Mai Yong also received a call, and after saying a few words, he said to Lin Yan:

"Brother Spanner, you asked us to find the list of previous staff members of the orphanage."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Okay, let's get it now, and ask the other party to print out a few copies."

After returning to the county and getting the list, it was already the beginning of the night, and my stomach was rumbling.

However, the people in the car also obeyed Fang Linyan's warning, fearing that someone would put puppet eggs in the food, so they didn't dare to eat and drink, so they found a small roadside stall, which is equivalent to a big one that only came out at night. This kind of gear.

Then a group of people ordered a light meal like fried rice and fried noodles, and the boss was watched by them the whole time while cooking, without any manipulations.Under such strict precautions, they quickly finished their dinner, drank the unopened milk they bought from the supermarket, and started looking for people through the list.

The first person on the list is Uncle Qin, the porter of the orphanage. This old man has been working as a porter there since he was 43 years old, and he has been working as a porter until he is 71 years old!Been here for almost 30 years.

So it is definitely the most appropriate to go to him with this list to see if there is any problem.

With Uncle Qin, Fang Linyan and the others did not encounter any obstacles, especially after the money was handed out, Uncle Qin seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, knowing everything without saying anything.

Uncle Qin also nodded in agreement with that list, feeling that there was no problem.

However, Fang Linyan really felt that something was wrong, because none of the people in the orphanage could match the "she" described in the diary left by the director Zhang Kun.

Next, Fang Linyan found a few people in a row, and the money was sent out to about 6 to [-] yuan, but basically no breakthrough was found. Why do you say basically?
It is because one piece of valuable news was obtained, that is, someone finally provided Xie Wenqiang's whereabouts.
According to the description in Xu Bo's diary, his original name was Liu Qiang, and he was Fang Linyan's good brother and good partner in the orphanage. He originally had a big erythematous birthmark on his face, but Fang Linyan couldn't remember it at all.

On the contrary, seeing that guard Luo just now brought back a lot of memories for Fang Linyan:

He began to remember that his life in the orphanage was very numb, everyone seemed to be running mechanically without emotion, and the friends around him were often beaten and starved.

The discipline guard keeps a straight face all day long, and every meal is gruel that is so thin that you can see your figure, and it is paired with yellowed steamed buns with a strong alkali taste!Even this thing is still limited, may not be enough to eat.

Surprisingly, the discipline does not beat or scold the children very much, the only punishment is to close the small dark room, hungry!
As long as the rules are violated, they will be starved for three meals. This kind of punishment, no matter how stubborn the child is, come two or three times in a row, it seems like something honest.

Not only that, the discipline will also reward the children who expose and report mischief, and the rewards are the food deducted from the accused children.

In such an environment, the innocence and kindness of children will quickly evaporate, and there will be no laughter that children should have. Everyone must be careful to be reported for violations, and the unforgettable feeling of hunger will even linger throughout childhood.

***
"arrive."

Mai Yongdao on the co-pilot.

This time Fang Linyan and the others came to a row of tile-roofed houses.

The infrastructure and houses in Badong County directly make Fang Linyan feel like he has returned to the 80s, and the row of houses in front of him is the most dilapidated in Badong County, and the slogan "Learning from Dazhai in Agriculture" is still faintly visible on the wall
A house made of red bricks, blowing on the walls can even see ash and mud falling down.

The drainage ditch in front of the tile-roofed house is black in mud, and even a big bubble will come out from time to time. There must be no fish in it, and even loach may not survive. There are only a large number of insects that look like red silk threads dancing happily with the water. .

This gutter can be said to be omnipotent. The excrement and urine of the people around, leftovers, garbage and so on are poured directly into it, which can be said to be stinky.

Liu Qiang——Xie Wenqiang has been kicked out by greedy and domineering relatives since the death of his adoptive father and adoptive mother. He lives here in desperation and depression. He usually relies on odd jobs and the little savings left by his adoptive parents.

It was already dark at this time, but luckily Mai Yong was leading the way, and after asking two people, they knocked on a light-transmitting broken door.

After a while, someone shouted in a drunken voice:

"Who?"

Mai Yong already had rich experience in finding people at this time, so he said:

"I want to ask you something, it's not in vain, I'll give you money."

Sure enough, someone opened the door soon, and then a drunk-looking man came out with his clothes on, and when he looked up, several people were shocked!
It turned out that he could see the right side of his face, which seemed to be dripping with blood, but after taking a second look, he realized that it was a scar or a birthmark, which was half the size of a palm, probably from a drink. Because of the wine, the face was congested, so it was all red.

After seeing this birthmark, something suddenly jumped out of Fang Linyan's memory, and then a lot of memories came out! !

He froze for a moment, all of a sudden!A bold conjecture flashed through his mind, Fang Linyan took a breath, and secretly said in his heart:

"Could it be that the truth is like this?"

He frowned and did not speak, but Mai Yong was a smart man with long sleeves and good at dancing, so he spoke directly:

"Are you Xie Wenqiang?"

The man hiccupped and said angrily:
"I don't have the surname Xie anymore, the Xie family doesn't have a damn good thing!!"

"My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Qiang!"

Obviously, Liu Qiang was very angry and brooding at the people from the Xie family who kicked him out directly, so he simply changed his name back.

But it can also be seen that this person's heart is not good. The relatives of Xie's family were really bad to him, but the dead adoptive father and adoptive mother did not feel sorry for him at all. He directly changed his surname. .

After drinking too much, the birthmark on his face gradually recurred.

After questioning him a few times, Mai Yong found that he couldn't ask anything, so he looked at Fang Linyan and shrugged his shoulders.

At this time, Fang Linyan already had some calculations in his heart, so he looked at Liu Qiang and said:
"Look, do you still know me?"

Liu Qiang squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Linyan for a long time, then shook his head and said:
"I don't know you, have we met?"

Fang Linyan said:

"I'm Fang Linyan, I grew up with you in the orphanage."

Sure enough, after hearing the words Fang Linyan, Liu Qiang's pupils dilated a little, and then he showed a surprised smile:

"It's you?!!"

After saying this, he immediately stepped forward excitedly:

"Oh, it's really you! Remember, when you got a piece of chocolate, you gave me half of it. It was the first time I ate chocolate in my life. It tasted so wonderful."

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"Yes, you are right, so I brought you another piece of chocolate this time."

After speaking, Fang Linyan took out another piece of chocolate and handed it to Liu Qiang.

Giving Liu Qiang chocolate was Fang Linyan's impromptu idea. Chocolate is small in size/easy to carry/taste/explosive in calories/easy to eat/easy to store/extremely long shelf life, and it is a must for survival in the wild.

Therefore, there are two or three boxes of chocolates in Fang Linyan's private space at any time. Of course, these chocolates were purchased by Evelina relying on the power of the church. They must be expensive and high-quality goods. is excellent.

Liu Qiang took the chocolate. This handmade chocolate exudes a charming milky fragrance. Liu Qiang must have never eaten such a high-end chocolate in his life, but for some reason, he has no appetite.

Although the consciousness reflected in his mind at this time is: it is very fragrant and delicious, and I like it very much after eating it last time, but the body is honestly rejecting this stuff, and there are waves of nausea and nausea !

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"Eat, this is imported. I brought it back for you from Greece."

Liu Qiang muttered:
"I, I seem to have drunk too much alcohol and feel uncomfortable."

Fang Linyan repeated the old trick:

"How can this work? I bet Lao Mai that you will definitely like to eat this! Well, I don't want to lose! If you eat this chocolate, I will give you 1 yuan!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan threw 1 yuan on the table next to him.

Liu Qiang is just sitting and eating now, how can he do odd jobs every day to support him to get drunk every night and keep drinking and eating?At this time, the 1 yuan is like the carbon in the snow and the water in the desert to him.

With the 1 yuan as a base, Liu Qiang could swallow a piece of steaming shit, not to mention a piece of chocolate.

Therefore, Liu Qiang then tremblingly said:

"I ate and you really gave me [-]?"

Fang Linyan stretched out his hand:

"You can take the money first and then eat."

Liu Qiang grabbed the bundle of 1 yuan, then peeled off the chocolate quickly, chewed it twice, and swallowed it, but instead of swallowing it, he retched twice.

But under the power of 1 yuan, he gritted his teeth and chewed it a few times, then swallowed it, and then showed a cunning and happy smile and said:
"Finished."

Fang Linyan smiled and said to him:

"Thank you for letting me win this round."

Liu Qiang chuckled, and began to chat with Fang Linyan about the past, but the topics between the two of them repeated several things over and over again.

After a few minutes, Liu Qiang seemed to feel a little feverish, took off his coat quickly, and then started scratching on his body again, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. There were large groups of red plaques, and even his breathing became short of breath.

Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan let out a long breath and said:
"Sure enough, my judgment is not wrong!! It is the rest of the people who are wrong!!"

At this time, Liu Qiang already seemed a little confused, his eyes were bloodshot, his body was scratched, and he even felt out of breath, so he said in a panic:

"No, what's wrong with me? I'm going to the hospital!!"

Fang Linyan looked at Liu Qiang with a hint of sadness in his eyes and said:
"Your situation is due to allergies. The chocolate you eat is your allergen."

Liu Qiang said in shock:

"Why? I like eating chocolate very much. The piece of chocolate you gave me was so delicious! I have loved eating chocolate since then!"

Fang Linyan shook his head slowly:
"No, that's not the case. For you, me, and even everyone who left the orphanage, certain key memories have been directly tampered with. Of course, it's tampering, not stuffing out of nothing!"
