Burnt paper shreds are flying around in the updraft, and the dim light of the fire does not add any warmth to the scene, but instead illuminates the shadows indistinctly, with a kind of unspeakable eerieness.

Guan Qing walked over slowly, saw the man's face clearly through the light of the fire, and he froze.

It's not the bloody face as imagined, nor the twisted horror of Brother Boiler, it is a very ordinary face, like many rural women who face the loess all the year round, their skin is yellow and black, and it is difficult to distinguish under the layers of folds. state her actual age.

She sat there staring intently at the fire, grinding paper money with one hand, and putting them into the fire one by one with the other.Guan Qing approached, but did not disturb her.

"Sister, what are you doing here so late?" Guan Qing chose a place not too far away and squatted down.

Her white and gray eyes stared at the fire for a long time before she turned to Guan Qing dully, and said very slowly: "I'm waiting for my daughter, young man, have you seen her?"

Guan Qing shook his head honestly: "No."

If he was right, the eldest sister's daughter was also the girl they were looking for.

The white-haired woman didn't get the answer she wanted, and she wasn't angry. She still sluggishly burned the toilet papers one by one into the fire, muttering to herself: "I know she's mad at me as a mother, You don't want to forgive me, so you hide from me. But me, I'm also doing it for her sake..."

She said that two lines of turbid tears flowed down her face, repeating over and over again: "I am doing it for her good, for her good..."

"Sister, as the saying goes, there is no overnight feud between mother and daughter," Guan Qing said cautiously, always paying attention to the changes in her expression, "Generally, your daughter will not blame you."

"A normal thing." The old man looked at the fire with empty eyes and shook his head. "This is not a normal thing, it's not a normal thing."

Her mind seemed to be very confused, Guan Qing didn't say a few words to her, and her words couldn't find any logic.

Seeing that she had completely ignored him talking to herself, Guan Qing had no choice but to ask bluntly, "What happened to your daughter?"

The old woman's eyes looked straight at him for a moment, Guan Qing's heart jumped into his throat, squeezed the sweat in his hands, he tried to stay calm, and asked word by word: "Is she dead?" ? Why died?"

Luo Ying, who was standing not far away, heard his words, her eyes were as wide as copper bells, and she anxiously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Qi.Luo Ying was so anxious that he was at a loss what to do, squeezed his throat and said: "Qi Ye, the living are not allowed to ask the cause of death of the dead, this is a big taboo. Brother Guan..."

Xiao Qi said: "Let's see first and then talk."

Luo Ying anxiously said: "Look again, brother Guan will be cold!"

Xiao Qi looked at him.

Luo Ying shut her mouth quickly, shrank back into the corner with small steps, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, with you here, why is Brother Guan cold?"

He thought melancholy, maybe he was paralyzed.

"She's dead..." the old woman murmured, speaking faster and faster, her voice getting sharper and harsher, like fingernails repeatedly rubbing against frosted glass, and finally screamed hysterically, "She's dead! Died! Died for that beast! I told her earlier, listen to Mom, don’t go to school so far away! She deserves to die!”

She covered her face with trembling blue-spotted hands, her ten fingertips quickly turned black and became longer, large chunks of flesh and hair fell off her skull, and finally only a cracked lip was left to speak to Guan Qing Roaring: "She's dead! I killed her! Mom killed you!"

Guan Qing was overwhelmed by the sudden upheaval.

Xiao Qi sternly shouted behind him: "Guan Qing! Let's go!"

Guan Qing woke up as if enlightened, got up suddenly, turned around and ran towards Xiao Qina who was coming to meet him.

After only two steps, his ankles were grasped by a pair of twisted hands, and he was pulled back violently.

At that moment, the severe pain made Guan Qing feel that his feet were ripped apart from his legs.Instinctively, he turned around, and slapped the head that was biting up with his sharp teeth.

The moment his palm slapped it on the top of the sky, Guan Qing's scalp felt numb and he heard the creaking sound of broken bones. It was incredible that his slap made it let go with a scream.

Guan Qing got this second's breath, resisted the severe pain in her palms and ankles, kicked off those claws, and limped towards Xiao Qi.

But the roar of that thing followed like a shadow, so close at hand!

"Give me back my daughter! Give me back!"

Just when Guan Qing was about to be caught by her, Xiao Qi directly pierced her throat with a stick from her open mouth, and pierced from behind: "Get out!"

Black flames shot out from the bamboo stick, spreading to the woman's whole body in an instant, and a huge human-shaped fireball shot up from the ground.

Before Guan Qing could blink, the woman was burned into a small ball like a child in the green fire.

Pfft, the flames went out, and there was only a stench in the air that was comparable to the swill of 82, which made Luo Ying's face turn pale immediately, and he retched while leaning on the pillar.

Guan Qing's face turned slightly pale because of the fright, and his overall expression was fairly calm, in fact, a little too calm.

Luo Ying hiccupped in pain: "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome."

Guan Qing said modestly: "It's okay, after all, being a sister-in-law means you have to bear the pressure and burden that you shouldn't have at this age."

Luo Ying: "..."

Xiao Qi squatted down and checked the bones of his ankle, and he was slightly relieved when he found that there was no abnormality or broken skin: "It's okay, I guess it's a bit of a strain, I'll ask Luo Ying to send some plasters later, and it will heal in two days." Alright." He patted Guan Qing's calf, and said with deep meaning, "You're not flexible enough, boy, it will hurt if you pull it."

Guan Qing was expressionless: "Why do you need toughness? When you encounter a ghost, do you split your arms in place and startle it?"

Xiao Qi: "..."

Xiao Qi said: "Guan Xiaoqing, I found that you have emotions."

Guan Qing sneered: "Don't be afraid as you promised, you are behind me? I was almost dragged into two pieces by these sisters!!! Two pieces! I just got into the civil service, I'm only 26, I'm still Never been in a relationship, never had sex!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, he jerked his leg out of Xiao Qi's hand, twisting his tendons, his facial muscles trembled, and he tried to maintain an angry posture, "My wonderful life was met with The sky turned upside down overnight after I came to you, a magic stick! I just want to be an ordinary materialist, who am I in the way!"

Xiao Qi listened quietly to him venting: "At the end of the day, it's just a pity that you have never been shot when you grow up, and you are still a great magician."

Guan Qing: "..."

Guan Qing was furious and denied San Lian: "I am not! I am not! You are talking nonsense!"

Xiao Qi still watched him make trouble quietly: "Then what exactly do you want?"

Guan Qing quickly changed his face, and said calmly and quickly: "Tonight my body and spirit have been greatly hurt. Don't you plan to make some substantial compensation?"

Xiao Qi's mouth twitched.

Guan Qing saw that he was indifferent, glanced at him, and reminded with a tense face: "For example, [-] or something..."

Luo Ying: "..."

Sister-in-law, I respect you for being a character, you dare to bargain with the famous iron cock in the industry!

Xiao Qi pondered for a long time, then reluctantly nodded vigorously: "All right, for the sake of your hard work tonight, I will give you a change."

Guan Qing was overjoyed, two thousand!He got half a month's salary!

"Just erase your installment interest."

Guan Qing: "..."

Oh, men are big hooves!

┉┉∞∞┉┉┉┉∞∞┉┉┉

After a thrilling night, on the way back, Guan Qing fell asleep almost immediately after getting into the car from exhaustion.

Xiao Qi smoked his cigarette butt, squinted at Guan Qing who was in a coma on the co-pilot, clicked his tongue, and leaned over to fasten his seat belt.

While wearing the seat belt, Guan Qing woke up for a moment in a daze, and tried to open the glued eyelids and said, "Just now she said that her daughter went to school far away."

"En." Xiao Qi's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing him.

Guan Qing murmured dreamily: "That should be going to college. Later, I will go to the archives of the bureau to check the whereabouts of those graduates from the middle school of the Teachers College..."

His voice was lost in the sound of shallow breathing.

Xiao Qi looked at his sleeping face for a while, then cupped his injured hands and observed carefully.The wound that had just stopped bleeding opened again during the struggle just now, and the gauze was stained red with the seeping blood.

Looking at this scene, Luo Ying said in a low voice, "Did Brother Guan slap that thing just now?"

Xiao Qi nodded.

Luo Ying gasped slightly, looked at Guan Qing with complicated eyes, and sighed after a while and said, "He is destined to be someone in our profession. If he is not good at it, he will die sooner or later."

"If you get into the business, it will be a matter of time before you die." Xiao Qi carefully put Guan Qing's hand back, turned the key, and stepped on the accelerator, "Nayin is the best example."

The author has something to say:

Guan Xiaoqing: Whether I am resilient or not is none of your business!

Xiao Qi: When the time comes to bed, you will know whether it is my business or not.

Guan Qing: ...

The countdown to Xiao Qi's fall has officially started!
