Chapter 167 Return to Fucheng

Although from various clues, Qin Manjiang had guessed that Li Xi was probably still alive.

But now that he had received the exact news, the excitement in his heart was almost uncontrollable.

In fact, there is one issue that Qin Manjiang has always ignored, and that is Li Xijiu's family.

If Li Xi really disappeared, Qin Manjiang must be the first person to receive a call from the Li family.

But the fact is that Li Xijiu's family has never called him in the past two months.

Qin Manjiang himself was a little lucky. He was subconsciously avoiding talking to the Li family, so he didn't want to think about it from this perspective.

In fact, this is the strongest evidence that Li Xi is still alive.

Li Xi has always kept in touch with his family, so Qin Manjiang has never received a call from the Li family.

But why didn't he contact me?

Li Xi couldn't be a ghost... Ghosts wouldn't worship Lao Qin.

So what's the reason why he didn't contact me?

Maybe, he is indeed still alive, but his current state is no longer suitable for meeting him.

Qin Manjiang vaguely guessed several possibilities.

But no matter what, this is the best news I got during this trip.

Qin Manjiang breathed a long sigh of relief.

[Tongjie] has discovered that there is an extremely terrifying ghost story in Xiajiang Village, but it has been unable to find out.

This village...the place where I grew up has many secrets hidden in it.

I didn't realize it when I lived in the village before, but now from the perspective of a bystander, the whole Xiajiang Village is indeed weird...

For example, Qin Manjiang has seen since he was a child... the people in Xiajiang Village, no matter who died, must be buried vertically, including Lao Qin.

For another example, Xiajiang Village lacks an extremely critical profession—doctors.

There was no doctor in Xiajiang Village. Now when Qin Manjiang thought about it, he realized that... in his memory, he had no memory of anyone in the village getting sick.

Even he and Qin Yiyi never got sick.

It seems that people in Xiajiang Village have one less stage of life than people outside.

Birth, old age, illness and death.

There are no "sickness" stages in Xiajiang Village. Everyone goes from birth, growing up, aging... to death. During this period, they will never get sick, but they will "accidentally" commit suicide.

Looking at it now, Xiajiang Village is indeed very strange.

He doesn't want to involve other innocent people like the [Lost Object] ghost story, and... he is currently not sure about solving the ghost story that fell into Jiangcun.

Qin Manjiang still remembers that his sister Qin Satisfaction’s novice level was also in Xiajiang Village.

Could it be said that Xiajiang Village is far more than just a strange story?

As the news became clear that Li Xi was still alive, Qin Manjiang's thinking became more and more agile.

Standing two hundred meters outside the village entrance, he had no intention of entering the village, at least not in the short term.

After waiting for more than an hour, Dr. Xi's car drove out.

The car drove in front of Qin Manjiang, the driver's door opened, and Xi Wutong got out of the car.

"Classmate Qin, you can indeed drive, right?"

As she spoke, she threw her car keys over.

Qin Manjiang caught the key, and a sense of familiarity came to his heart. He was almost convinced that although he had never learned it, this body could drive, and his driving skills were not bad.

But what is Dr. Xi going to do?

Qin Manjiang couldn't believe that the slightly frivolous action of throwing away the key was done by her. Compared with the impression she left on Qin Manjiang, there was a huge contrast.

Doctor Xi did not hide his happiness and said to him: "I know you are leaving, but I like this village very much. It is very beautiful. I want to live here for a while. I will give you the car key so you can use it." I’ll come find you when I return to Fucheng!”

"Remember to refuel yourself, I won't reimburse you for the fuel."

After saying that, without waiting for Qin Manjiang's answer, she hurriedly greeted Qin Manyi and walked quickly towards Xiajiang Village.

Soon, her back was more than ten meters away.

Qin Manyi rolled down the window and looked at Qin Manjiang: "Can you drive?"

Qin Manjiang didn't answer. He took the key and got into the car. He started the ignition expertly. When he turned the steering wheel, the car suddenly turned around.

Then he stepped on the accelerator and accelerated away from Xiajiang Village.

"Why would she stay?" Qin Manjiang asked.

"I don't know. Along the way, she has been asking about Xiajiang Village and our childhood, as if she was looking for something." Qin Yiyi didn't hide anything from Qin Manjiang, and said in detail: "By the way, she also asked Dad where to move. The reason for going to the riverside and the location of the old house, but I didn’t tell her, I just said that I was too young at the time and didn’t remember.”

Qin Manjiang nodded. In fact, Qin Yiyi didn't lie to Dr. Xi, because he, who was older than her, didn't remember it clearly.

Although he has lived in this village since he was a child, Lao Qin did move once, from the village to the riverside. Almost all of Qin Manjiang's childhood memories began in the house with a small courtyard by the riverside.

"Then she asked Uncle Wang for help and found a place for herself to live. She paid a rent of 10,000 yuan in one go. She will stay for at least half a year." Qin Manjiang's eyes flashed, "I asked her what to do with her work, and she said This is work."

"Brother, what does she do?" Qin Satisfied asked.

Qin Manjiang glanced at the rearview mirror. After Xi Wutong was no longer in the car, Qin Manjiang became much livelier.

"We have a cooperative relationship with the police. She is responsible for investigating some mysterious cases. She was also responsible for your previous case. She said that living in the village counts as work, which is true." Qin Manjiang said.

After all, Xiajiang Village is indeed a famous ghost village on the Internet, and there are already many tourists coming here to play.

However, although [Tongjie] has detected the existence of strange stories, until now, there has been no news of any accidental death or disappearance of tourists in Xiajiang Village.

"Can you tell me the name of your novice level's ghost story?"

Qin Manjiang asked.

He tried to ask Qin Yiyi about the content of her newbie level before, but Qin Yiyi said "can't tell".

Is it okay if it's just a name?

Qin Yiyi hesitated. After a moment, she glanced nervously around, as if there was someone in the speeding car who could keep up with her.

As if she was also testing, she said: "Assimilate."

"Strange Tales: Assimilation."

"This is the name of my newbie level..."

After realizing that he could say Guitan's name, Qin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fairy tale?" Qin Manjiang heard another word with the same name, "A fairy tale like a bedtime story?"

"No!" Qin Yiyi's body suddenly tensed up, veins popped out on the back of his hands, and he grabbed the seat hard. "It's because he distorted his cognition, adapted to the environment, and became... the same as the surroundings."

Qin Manjiang's heart skipped a beat, was it the "assimilation"...

It's such a weird name that makes people unable to calm down their thoughts.

"I know, you go to sleep for a while, I'll call you when I get there."

"Um."

————

When we returned to Fucheng, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Qin Yiyi did not fall asleep. She always dozed during the day, but the later it got, the more excited she became.

Along the way, Qin Manjiang was lucky enough not to have his driver's license checked, and he drove the car back downstairs skillfully.

"By the way, I've rented out your room. You sleep in my room tonight and I sleep in the living room. We'll discuss it tomorrow."

Qin Yiyi put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently: "It's okay. I like sleeping on the sofa. It feels like a wanderer."

When Qin Manjiang saw what she said, he didn't force himself. He went upstairs, inserted the key, and opened the door.

Mi Qiao was lying on the sofa with a facial mask on, looking at her phone.

Seeing Qin Manjiang bringing another girl home, her eyes widened under the mask.

"Mr. Qin, you..."

"Mi Qiao, she is my sister, Qin is satisfied."

"This is the tenant, Mi Qiao."

Qin Manjiang didn't give her a chance to continue talking, otherwise his image as a good, clean brother might collapse in Qin Yiyi's heart.

"Ah...Hello! Miss Qin, I'm Mi Qiao..." Mi Qiao quickly got up from the sofa and came over to say hello to Qin Yiyi.

Qin Satisfactory also smiled and said: "Hello, just call me Satisfactory."

"Next...maybe we will get along for a long time."
