Surprise! Mrs. Xie is setting up a fortune-telling stall on a tricycle again

"Is the child dead?"

"He's not dead yet. He still has a long life ahead of him. The King of Hell won't take a child's life easily."

"Take good care of it. The police have been cracking down on it recently. Also, because of the frequent reports of missing children, parents are keeping a close eye on their children now. It's not as easy to catch them as before. The one your family got is the most energetic, so you have to keep a close eye on it. If you lose it like Qian Gui's family did, you know the consequences."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely keep a close eye on the child and will never let him run away."

"You can't starve to death. If you don't want to eat, just stuff it in. If you still don't eat, I have a magic weapon here, but it will cost you more money."

Ginger Cha hid himself in the child's school bag.

As soon as she hid inside, the floor was lifted up and light came in.

Lights up the entire basement.

There was a conversation between two people, followed by the sound of footsteps coming down the wooden stairs.

The two voices, one light and one heavy.

From the conversation, we can tell that both of them are men.

Jiang Cha could hear their conversation.

I could also feel them coming down and getting closer.

She could even feel that there was someone standing in front of the schoolbag. He even looked down at the schoolbag and kicked it.

Jiang Cha stuck herself into the books and moved half a meter with the schoolbag. The schoolbag hit the edge of the iron cage and she was also hit.

I feel a little dizzy, but it's okay.

"Mr. Z, do you think he's okay?" The man spoke in a flattering voice.

The man called Mr. Z was wearing a hoodie, a hat, and a mask, leaving only his eyes exposed.

He squatted down, touched the child's hand, and felt the child's pulse.

"You won't die, but you're a little weak. I brought a bottle of nutrient solution here, it costs 12,000 yuan. I don't have much, so I'll buy you two if you want."

Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount of money in such a poor and backward village, but the other party did not even hesitate and immediately said: "I want it, I want it, thank you Mr. Z."

Soon, the man called Mr. Z left.

Went away with the money.

Two bottles of nutrient solution were left.

Jiang Cha sneaked to the opening of the schoolbag, and in an absolutely blind spot, he used the reflection of a toy hidden in the child's schoolbag to see the tube of nutrient solution in the other person's hand.

Jiang Cha recognized this man; he was Tiezhu's father.

When I walked in just now, the old couple had just come back from the vegetable garden. When they saw Tiezhu bringing someone home, they immediately pulled Tiezhu aside and asked him some questions.

Then Tiezhu handed the stack of money to the man.

When the man saw the money, his eyes lit up, and then he didn't say anything else. He just whispered something to Tiezhu and left.

Then Tiezhu took them to another house.

Probably to prevent them from running into the man called Mr. Z.

The man did not feed the nutrient solution to the child immediately, probably because he thought it was too expensive and the child would not die for a while, so he planned to keep it for now.

The man left quickly.

Ginger tea came out of the schoolbag.

-

The five senses of ginger tea return to the body.

She opened her eyes.

Captain Han happened to meet her eyes, and Jiang Cha gave Captain Han a hint with her eyes.

Captain Han took a look at where Tiezhu was and suggested going to the yard to see the vegetables grown in the fields, saying that he was curious.

It's not strange that city people are curious about rural things.

Tiezhu had no doubts either.

I just think that rich people have too much free time. What’s so good about a vegetable garden?

Captain Han stuffed a few hundred-dollar bills into Tiezhu's pocket and whispered, "That's my ex-wife's child. She's a bit cold. She grew up in the city and hasn't seen many dishes. But she's very curious and wants to see them, so..."

Captain Han pointed at the ginger tea and said.

He spoke quietly, but Jiang Cha heard it clearly.

Captain Han is old enough to be her father.

Tiezhu had no more doubts.

He readily accepted the money given by Captain Han and said, "You can pick whatever you like in the fields. Oh, by the way, I have several vegetable plots at home. The one on the west has been watered with manure and cannot be eaten these days. You can go to the one on the east. The vegetables grow better there."

The vegetable garden on the east side is connected to the neighbor's yard.

Jiang Cha and Captain Han came to the vegetable garden.

Ginger tea quickly added a sound insulation layer between the two of them.

Then he began to tell Captain Han everything that happened in the basement and what Persimmon Tree said.

Captain Han's expression became more serious the more he listened.

"Have you thought of a solution?" Captain Han asked.

Jiang Cha didn't rush to answer Captain Han's question. Instead, he turned and looked in another direction and said, "Captain, did you notice just now? This village is very primitive. There are no mobile phones, no modern appliances, and even clothes are still washed by hand. But they can give 10,000 yuan for two bottles of nutrient solution without blinking an eye."

Captain Han: "We have no signal on our cell phones since we entered the village. The signal here is blocked. There are no electronic devices, not even older electronic products like radios."

Captain Han: "What do you think?"

"Persimmon Tree said that no children have been born here since a long time ago, but the village has not yet become extinct. Everyone has started to live longer. Considering the children who were kidnapped and kept in the basement, I reasonably suspect that everyone in this village is participating in the longevity event, so everyone lives longer. However, because this is an evil magic that damages one's virtue, they have been punished by heaven and no new children have been born."

Captain Han frowned, "Were those children kidnapped and raised to give them a long life?"

Jiang Cha: "Yes, there is one more thing. Tiezhu's family worships an evil god, which is placed in the living room. When we came in, the incense was still lit. Most people can't tell whether the statue is good or evil, so they don't care about this.

There is also an identical Buddha statue enshrined in the abandoned old house where we slept last night. It is one level higher than the one in Tiezhu’s house, and it is also an evil god.

I suspect that the people in this village are worshipping the same evil god, and that their evil magic of stealing longevity also came from this evil god."

"Evil God? Is there any way to crack it?" Captain Han's expression was very serious.

"Yes, but before that, I need to determine how many children have been abducted into this village and where they are. This will take about two hours, and I need you to buy me some time." Jiang Cha said.

"It's okay to buy time, but..." Captain Han looked at Jiang Cha worriedly and asked, "Will you be in danger?"
