==============================

"Uncle Wu?" The men had obviously never heard of this name before, "Village Chief, are you from our village?"

"Yeah, I'm dying." The village head quickly took out his phone, "Hurry up and call someone over, why..."

He didn't go on, but everyone knew what he wanted to say about how he died so badly.

The men are talking again.

"Since he's from the village, wouldn't he be rowing out to encounter a lake monster?"

"Didn't I say that the lake monster is a rumor?"

"It's better to believe it than to believe it. Haven't you heard crying at night these days?"

"Didn't the village chief say that Mrs. Qiu was crying after giving birth to twins?"

"I can testify that the twins in her family cry every night. It's really annoying. They cry in the middle of the night!"

Qi Fanchen listened and asked, "Where does Madam Qiu live?"

"Here, I live next door to Lao Liu's house." The man turned his head and pointed in the direction. When he said this, he remembered something and said doubtfully, "Hey, why didn't you see Lao Liu going to the lake this morning?"

"I was just going to ask you guys!" The village head said anxiously after making the phone call, "Have you seen Fugui Gangzi and the sixth child? Why are there no one there when you wake up?"

"No, didn't the three of them play mahjong last night?"

"I didn't go back until after eleven o'clock. I guess I'm still sleeping at this moment."

"Why sleep!" The village chief stomped his foot, "My wife woke up and found that there was no one beside the bed!"

"what?!"

The men started talking again.

Qi Fanchen glanced at the boat, then turned to Cangluan and said, "The water here is not good enough to corrode that boat like that."

After he finished speaking, he found that Cang Luan was staring at the corpse in a daze.After a few seconds, he came back to his senses: "Huh?"

"Is there anything strange about the pearl?" Qi Fanchen followed his gaze and glanced at it.

Cang Luan squatted down, leaned close to that head, looked at it for a few seconds, then raised his head to look at Qi Fanchen, with no joke in his eyes: "This is a shark's thing."

Qi Fanchen's heart skipped a beat.

"This Fifth Uncle..." Qi Fanchen frowned slightly, "Who is it?"

The village head behind him hadn't left yet. Hearing this, he explained casually: "This fifth uncle was the richest man in our village 12 years ago. He built all the bungalows. Later, he went out to do business. Who knew this?" When I came back..."

The village chief sighed, glanced at the two strangers, and waved his hands: "Our village has also started to have strange things recently, you should go back after playing."

The men seemed to be less interested in the corpse, and started discussing the missing sixth child instead.Qi Fanchen said in a low voice: "This corpse is weird."

"This kind of pearl is very rare. It is made by storing the essence of heaven and earth. It can keep human beings looking young." Cangluan stared at him, and said in a voice that only they could hear, "This man was killed by a shark."

Qi Fanchen couldn't see any extra emotion from those beautiful eyes.

He didn't know what it meant for the merman to kill.Before seeing him, he didn't even know if the merman existed.

But he could tell from Cang Luan's expression that this was not good news.

"Tonight is fifteen." Cang Luan turned around, "There is a show tonight."

Back at the homestay, Qi Fanchen went to wake up the two children.

Director Ye woke up a long time ago, saw him coming in and quickly asked, "Uncle, did a woman scream just now?"

"Did you hear that?" Qi Fanchen raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

"How could you not hear me?" Director Ye frowned, "It's so miserable, I thought someone was dead."

"He's dead." Cang Luan answered lazily while fiddling with Qi Fanchen's sword.

On the way back, he suddenly became interested in Qi Fanchen's sword and said he wanted to see it.Qi Fanchen showed it to him, but he didn't finish it when he got back.

I don't know what to see.

"Ah?" Director Ye was stunned, "Who died?"

Gu Huai rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Uncle Wu." Qi Fanchen walked to the bed and helped Gu Huai put on his coat, "There should be an update on the mission today, go report it to the customer service."

"Uncle Wu?" Director Ye still remembered the name, "Isn't this the owner of the haunted house?"

"Yes." Qi Fanchen continued, "If it involves ghosts, ask the customer service to send a Taoist over."

During breakfast, Director Ye completed the task very quickly.

The phones of the three rang at the same time.

[Customer service 009]: [04287 group disbandment notice: group member [Director Ye]'s report review has passed, 04287 group task has ended, do you want to add group members as friends? (If you have any questions, please contact customer service 025)]

Jumped to death, please go to confirm. (If you need to cancel the task, please contact customer service 038)]

"..." Seeing this name, everyone fell silent.

"This guy is interesting." Cang Luan leaned over to look at his cell phone, and smiled, "It seems like we can't leave anymore."

"Could it be that I exposed my identity?" Director Ye recalled that he seemed to have mentioned suppressing evil to him, "Isn't it dependent on us?"

"This matter is not over yet." Qi Fanchen said, "We won't leave if he doesn't keep us."

The three of them were successfully added as friends in the APP, and then they were pulled into a group chat by the system.

Qi Fanchen clicked in to take a look, and found that Director Ye and Gu Huai were still there, and the other two in the group had already started chatting.

[Fusangzi]: [Brothers, how fortunate it is to meet by chance, I am Qilian Fusangzi, fortunate to meet, fortunate to meet]

[Dongfangzi]: [Come on, quickly accept your younger brother's behavior, where do you meet up? @all members】

Director Ye glanced at the group news, and asked suspiciously, "How can they use their online names? Don't they all register with their real names?"

This time it was Gu Huai's turn to explain to him: "This is their Dao name."

"Tao number?"

"You don't know that." Gu Huai said proudly, "The two of them are my master's apprentices, and they are usually called this."

"What about you?" Director Ye asked, "Do you have a Taoist name?"

"Master said I'm not old yet." Gu Huai said, "I'll take it when I grow up."

Qi Fanchen posted a location in the group and said, "Who does Gu Huai usually live with?"

"My grandpa." Gu Huai said proudly, "Grandpa is the one who raised me and treats me the best!"

Director Ye deliberately teased him: "Is it as good as Master?"

Gu Huai hesitated, and finally weighed it up and said, "They all treat me well!"

After breakfast, the fog lifted a little.Qi Fanchen inquired about several elderly people nearby, and found that the fifth uncle left the village 12 years ago. At that time, he sold all the bungalows, and all the family members moved away, leaving nothing behind. , there is only one empty house left.

Ask why, no one knows.

According to Feng Changsheng, Fifth Uncle has a wife and son here, and has built so many houses, it is impossible for him to disappear overnight.

Something must have happened 12 years ago.In that weird basement.

"He was born here, his roots are here, and he will always come back after death." The old man didn't see the corpse, so he took it for granted.

"But they are lucky." The old man shook his head and recalled, "Two years after they left, an infectious disease broke out in the village, and it infected many people at that time!"

Qi Fanchen's eyes moved.

The infectious disease ten years ago can be called a disaster in human history.A coastal city was the first to report that someone was infected with the virus. After being infected, the whole body became red and the skin was festered. Within three days, the flesh on his body was rotten to the point where the bones could be seen, but the death date was still nearly half a month away. Some people would commit suicide within half a month.

Back then, the disease spread extremely quickly, as long as the skin came into contact with it, and the onset time was very short. Once infected, the skin became red.

Qi Fanchen remembered that this disease has a name called "Evil Fruit".

In just one week, the disease has spread all over the country, and all the sick people are quarantined. Major hospitals and research institutes in the country are working day and night to study the anti-disease vaccine. Although the vaccine has not yet been developed, the disease will be diagnosed after four months Still under control.

Cang Luan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Is that infectious disease serious?"

"It's serious from the outside world. It's passed from person to person, and 10,000+ people died!" The old man thought of something and said, "But none of us died in the village."

Qi Fanchen was taken aback: "What?"

"It was also our village's luck. Once the infectious disease broke out, a Taoist priest suddenly came and said that he had a kind of elixir, which could prevent all diseases if he took it." The old man recalled, "At that time, no matter whether it was useful or not, every household I bought them all, and after using them, I really didn’t get sick!"

"What medicine?" Cang Luan asked curiously, "So effective?"

"The Taoist said it was fairy root powder, a panacea used by the gods in the sky!" The old man said mysteriously, "That medicine sold for more than 1 yuan per gram at that time. rise!"

Qi Fanchen took a step forward: "Is that medicine still available?"

"How can there be any more now?" said the old man. "It was used up long ago. The Taoist saw that we were fine, so he went back and never came again."
