What's in the depths II

Chapter 27 Ignorance

When Yunqian heard this, his face twisted into a ball, and he immediately covered his chest with both hands: "Dad, I'm timid, don't scare me."

"Come on, come in." Old Man Yun waved at him, beckoning him to enter the room.

Trembling, Yunqian followed his father into the room, just like when he was a child, he was going to enter the room to be beaten when he passed the bottom of the test.

His father picked up the incense on the cabinet, lit it, bowed in front of the portrait of his deceased mother, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

"Do you still remember that when you were 14 years old, I went with an employer from other provinces to do Feng Shui for someone's tomb?"

At this time, Old Man Yun's tone sounded a lot more relaxed.

Yunqian remembered that his mother was still alive at that time, and some strangely dressed men came to the family one day, speaking with a southern accent, saying that he wanted to ask his famous father to help him with Feng Shui to move the tomb, which was the family tomb , This is a big project, and it takes ten and a half months to get back.

But on the third day, his father rushed back to Huiyuan overnight by plane.

Later, those eccentric men also chased after them and came to the door every day, but every time they were rejected by the old man. At that time, the old man started to get sick, coughing up blood, feeling weak all over, and had abdominal pain. What went wrong, but half a month later, the old man went away with those men again, and when he came back, he was a healthy baby again.

"Actually, I didn't realize until I went there that they were not moving the tomb, they were simply a group of tomb robbers."

Old Man Yun clenched his fists as he spoke.

"When they did the first vote, they robbed the tomb of a general in the Ming Dynasty, but because of the heavy traps, those people were not good enough, so many people died in the tomb. For the second vote, they wanted to invite me to go there Explore a geomantic treasure hole, find a suitable place to shovel, tomb robbery is illegal, I, a law-abiding good citizen, can't let them make trouble, naturally I don't want to."

Yunqian opened his mouth wide in surprise, feeling that his father still had such fantastic experiences.

"You still remember the strange illness I had." Old man Yun turned his head and stared at Yunqian.

Yun Qian nodded his head bewilderedly, and he still remembered what the doctor in the hospital said to them: "It's better to help the patient take care of the funeral as soon as possible."

He was so scared that he cried all day.

"Actually, it's not a disease, but..." At this point, Old Man Yun lowered his voice, "A poisonous Gu..."

As soon as these words came out, Yunqian felt a chill rushing towards his face, but when he felt it carefully, it seemed to be the chill emanating from his bones.

"Later, I did help those people find out the feng shui, and they gave them the medicine to understand this kind of Gu poison."

"Is the poison really so effective?" In Yunqian's consciousness, this kind of poison from Xiangxi to drive corpses from Miaojiang is a plot that only appears in novels. He never thought that it would only appear in this kind of novels The bridge section really happened around me.

"You have to know that it takes countless experiments to raise a Gu. What kinds of poisons and medicines are used to feed the Gu insects, the order of administration, how many catties and taels, only the Gu raiser knows."

"Such absurd things, call the police, Dad."

Old man Yun heaved a long sigh, and shook his head: "It's useless, so what if you catch it, no one knows the antidote formula except the Gu raiser, he is dead, and the person who has been poisoned by the Gu will not survive, hold him This 'okay, let's all die together' mentality, they don't fear the police."

Yun Qian hugged the old man in his family distressedly, and stroked the few sparse hairs on the old man's forehead: "Dad, you have suffered."

Old Man Yun patted Yunqian's hand and said softly: "I have taken the antidote, so I am afraid that I will never forget the smell of that antidote in this life, but as soon as you came back, I smelled that smell from you. The smell of medicine, that's why I asked where you went today."

At this time, the densely packed small holes on Team Leader He's body suddenly appeared in Yunqian's mind. Thinking about it now, they looked like holes drilled out by bugs.

"I really went to a special place today, which is the home of the retired old policeman from the regional police station I mentioned. His body was covered with... It should be said that countless small holes were broken. After you said so, I really feel like a worm's hole."

Old man Yun was stunned, and looked at Yunqian in disbelief: "Yes, it's the same as I was back then."

As he spoke, old man Yun lifted his sleeves and called Yun Qian to look over.

On old man Yun's forearm, there are a few very inconspicuous circular scars. Although they have healed, they are not obvious after many years, but looking at these scars, I think that my father has also encountered such a terrible thing. In addition to being distressed by the voodoo incident, Yunqian still feels distressed.

"This is a poisonous insect that lives in the northern coastal area. It's called the Seven-Star Lily. It has no legs and soft bodies. There are seven red spots on its back. It lives on human blood and attacks regularly. It has two hard toothed blades on its head. It can easily penetrate the skin, and there is no cure for it except for the voodoo."

"So, the old policeman I went to see today was also bewitched?"

Old Man Yun nodded: "Eight or nine is not far from ten."

"Then, Dad, do you remember who was the person who detoxified you before?"

"I do remember, but after I returned to Huiyuan, I made up my mind to completely cut off contact with them, and I didn't hear from them. I don't know whether they are dead or alive."

"What about age?"

"About... sixty years old?"

But one thing is strange, Team Leader He was poisoned after he went to Changsheng Village, but his father was poisoned in the south, and Gu insects need to be domesticated in a specific environment, and they can't be too far away from the person who cast the Gu. , otherwise it will be out of control.

That is to say, the person who played Gu is now in Huiyuan.

"Xiaoqian, Dad knows that as a people's policeman, your duty is to uphold justice for the people, but sometimes it's the best policy to protect yourself. Don't...get yourself burned."

It was the first time that this old urchin warned himself in such a serious tone, it could be seen that he was really scared.

As he said, the antidote is only available to the bewitched person. Once the bewitched person dies, the bewitched person will also die. This kind of person is the most terrifying. He treats human life like a joke, and even escapes the control of the law.

As long as they hold this hole card in their hands, they can really do whatever they want.

----------

Wen Qi felt quite surprised, for the first time, Yun Qian took the initiative to ask him out for coffee.

Dressed up carefully, even the leather shoes were polished so that the figure could be seen, and went to the appointment with great surprise and anticipation.

There was still half an hour before the appointed time, but Wen Qi arrived at the appointed place early.

At nine o'clock, the central square was still full of pedestrians, and the colorful lights made the city look like daytime.

The old lady selling flowers next to her was trembling with a cane and hoarse, and occasionally a young couple stopped to buy a cheap white daisy, and left with a simple happy smile.

And the flower language of daisy - "the love hidden deep in my heart".

Just the right atmosphere, just the right rhetoric, just the right time and place, just the right people, everything is so logical.

Wen Qi bought all the last daisies in the old grandma's small bamboo basket, and took the time to ask the owner of the boutique to help pack them.

So, in the central square at night in November, a tall man, holding a large bouquet of white daisies, waited quietly in the most conspicuous place in the middle of the square like a statue.

The little girl passing by snickered and whispered "Chrysanthemum" and then ran away with an "I understand" expression on her face.

Yunqian came, but was late. He was still wearing house slippers and a jacket casually. The two socks were still of different colors. He walked through the crowd like this and ran towards Wenqie with great strides.

When he saw the big bouquet of daisies in Wen Qie's hands, he couldn't help feeling deeply puzzled and even subconsciously covered his ass.

"It's late." Wen Qi said with a smile, and handed over the chrysanthemum in his hand.

"This... chrysanthemum or something..." Yunqian rubbed his little hands together in embarrassment, not knowing whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.

"The flower language is good, I like it very much, so I bought it."

The eyes of passers-by around were all shot at, so hot that Yunqian even felt that countless small holes had been scalded on his body.

It’s not true if you accept it, and it’s not true if you don’t.

Perhaps seeing Yunqian's embarrassment, Wen Qi didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and hid the bouquet behind his back: "If I don't like it, I'll take it home and put it up myself."

"Up to you, up to you." Yun Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Didn't you tell me if you have something to say, why don't we find a coffee shop first?"

"That's fine, that's fine." Yun Qian continued to wipe off his cold sweat.

The two found a coffee shop casually, ordered two glasses of Xueding, and while Wen Qie was still admiring the cool breeze outside the window and the beautiful woman in front of the autumn moon was like a dream, Yunqian said without knowing the current affairs:

"I probably know what kind of disease he is suffering from, the team leader He we visited today."

The corner of Wen Qi's mouth twitched: "You also know medicine? Almighty?"

"Don't make fun of me, you still don't know how heavy I am."

"Then tell me, what disease did he have?"

Yunqian looked around to make sure that no one noticed their side, then moved closer to Wen Qie's face, and said in a low voice, "This is caused by a kind of Gu insect called Qixing gnat biting the skin."

Wen Qie was stunned for a moment: "Gu worm?"

Yunqian nodded like a slap in the face: "Yes, Gudu, you must have heard of it."

"It's because this kind of thing has been living in the 'heard', so I feel strange." Wen Qi smiled, and the smile was a little lonely.

Yes, looking forward to it in vain.

It turned out to be business.

"So I would like to ask you to analyze and analyze. After Team Leader He was poisoned by Gu, the Gu worms lived in his body for more than ten years, and as soon as he saw Luan Xiu's information, he called her to come, monster, or It was she who came to take revenge, and Team Leader He said that he shouldn't meddle in his own business, think about it carefully, Luan Xiu's death has nothing to do with Team Leader He being bewitched."

When the coffee was served, the aroma was mixed with a hint of bitterness.

Wen Ge stroked the lukewarm coffee cup and nodded: "If someone tried his best to trick him, then Team Leader He blocked his interests, and interests can't be said to be money or love, but they can What is certain is that only by controlling Team Leader He can we not ruin that person's good deeds."

"My dad, he was poisoned by the same poisonous poison when he was helping others with Fengshui, but he was in the south at that time, and the poisonous poison was under control. The person who cast the poison might be in Huiyuan City, Could it be that the man came from the south?"

"Why, do you want to check all the immigrants who moved here from the south?"

Yunqian thought for a while, then shook his head: "Even if the list of all the relocated people is called up, what if they just refuse to admit it, it's useless."

"Group leader He went to Changsheng Village to investigate Luan Xiu's drowning case. He is not in a good state of mind. Even if we ask, we can't find out why. But there is a strange thing. If it is really drowning, report directly to the police station. It’s fine if you don’t have a household name, why did Team Leader He go to Changsheng Village in person again, did he discover something else hidden about Luan Xiu’s drowning case?”

Yunqian thinks it makes sense for Jingwen to mention such a point.

So the "should not be nosy" that team leader He said meant that he should not investigate Luan Xiu's drowning case anymore?

All the secrets seem to be in this woman named Luan Xiu?
