The sun was gradually setting, and the few of us went to a town not far away to eat Maoshui bean curd, and then Zhang Wanmo packed a portion of raw rice and bought a few sticks of incense.

When it was completely dark, Zhang Wanmo put the rice by the water, lit the incense, and stuck it in the rice.

This is the favorite food of ghosts.

The advantage of this is that all the ghosts in a radius of a hundred miles have come, and the sky has cooled down.

The downside is that we don't know which one is the ghost we're looking for.

"It's okay, Yan Shuang told me the name of that ghost, I'll call it later."

When he said he was screaming, Zhang Wanmo really did, and he yelled directly at the ghosts who were smoking incense: "Li Guosheng!"

The ghosts all looked up at him, then resumed smoking.

Only one of them stood upright and looked at us.

What is different from other ghosts is that there is some faint golden light on its body, and it can be seen that those ordinary ghosts dare not approach him.

"You call me?"

He walked over slowly.

It can be vaguely seen that Li Guosheng is wearing a military uniform, but it is not clear when the military uniform was. He is about 30 years old, and because he has a beard, he cannot see the whole face clearly.

You can only see that his eyes are bright, and there are many marks on his upper body that have been hit by bullets.

The clothes were still the color of blood.

"You are Li Guosheng?" Zhang Wanmo, who was holding a mahogany sword to exorcise ghosts, put the sword back into his hanging bag.

"Correct."

"Did it come from Tomb Mountain?"

Hearing the words Fentou Mountain, Li Guosheng finally changed. A trace of understanding appeared on his face, and then he said: "Yes, I came out of Fentou Mountain. I have been trapped in it for more than 30 years. Could it be Do you still want to take me back?"

"Since the feng shui of the extremely yin place has been broken, there is no reason to go back. You have merit in your body, why don't you go to reincarnate earlier, but run around in these places? Do you know that you will consume your life like this? Your merits?"

It turned out that the golden light in Li Guosheng's soul was merit.

"I didn't know it was a merit." He looked at his hands, the golden light on them was already dim, "I just wanted to come back and take a look at my wife and children, but in the end, things have changed for 30 years, and I also I don't know if they are dead or alive."

Li Guosheng told us a story.

More than 30 years ago, the cliffs here were full of caves, and a group of bandits gathered here. Because of the steep terrain, no army could completely wipe them out. Instead, they fought many victories because of the high altitude.

The bandits here did not burn, kill and loot, but a group of peasants who could not eat enough and were enslaved by landlords gathered here.

Li Guosheng is their boss.

Then, not long after, a powerful figure in the army came and set a trap, allowing the bandits to be captured in one fell swoop.

But this character did not say that he wanted to kill them, but said that in order for them to atone for their crimes, he would serve as a soldier to fight.

At that time, Li Guosheng's wife had just given birth to a son. If it wasn't for the brothers in the village and the newborn son, they would not have been arrested this time.

There is no other way now, if you don't go to war, the whole village will be arrested and imprisoned.

Therefore, Li Guosheng bid farewell to his wife and two-month-old son, and went to join the army to fight. After going, he never came back.

When he came back again, it was already empty.

The current cliff caves, those rock-climbing protrusions that could pass through in the past, have long since been exposed to the wind and sun.

Fortunately, he is a ghost, so he doesn't need to climb.

The cave is also in a mess, and it can be seen how hurried they left at that time.

"So, you didn't come to catch me back, so what are you here for? Anyway, I won't go with you. I'm going to wait here for my wife to come back. We made an appointment. If I come back, I can't find her." They will wait for them in Yadong."

"Perhaps your wife remarried with children?" It has been more than 30 years. How can a woman survive in troubled times with children?We just haven't spoken to worse outcomes yet.

"I haven't come to them for so many years, and it's only natural to remarry." I actually saw a lonely look on his face, "Even if I remarry, according to our local customs, she will let her son go out with me." That day, the one who came back to burn the paper for me was the No. 30 six years since I went out to serve in the army.”

After finishing speaking, Li Guosheng went back to the cliff without looking back, not forgetting to take away the bowl on the ground before leaving.

Those wandering ghosts who were still inhaling the aroma were driven aside by him.

"When I finish my own thinking, I will naturally go to reincarnation."

This is the last sentence Li Guosheng said to us before he left.

"It seems that we only have to wait here for a few days."

As soon as Zhang Wanmo finished speaking, I felt dizzy for a while, and I just wanted to find a hotel and lie on the bed with the air conditioner on.

It's a pity that there is not even a decent hotel in this small town. They are all farmhouses, and there is only one big ceiling fan and no air conditioner.

I watched the ceiling fan above my head keep turning, and the mat under my body was covered with sweat stains in the shape of a human being.

"It's okay, Xingxing, this is how we are here. Although it's hot, there may be thunderstorms tomorrow, and it will cool off after a while when the heat dissipates."

"I hope." I don't know how long we will stay here.

According to Yan Shuyuan and Zhang Wanmo's reasoning, if Li Guosheng's wife and children were really waiting for him, they would definitely stay somewhere in the town, so that they would go back and burn paper for Li Guosheng every year.

But if his wife and children are gone, then we can't find him, and Li Guosheng won't wait.

Therefore, we are now praying for the former situation, which is also the best situation.

Li Guosheng's appearance was drawn by Yan Shuyuan directly with a sketch all night without rest, and then copied a few copies and sent them to us.

We took the copies and asked around the town separately.

I, who usually don't like to talk, mustered up the courage.

But after a whole day, there was still no gain.

The weather was just as Jiang Ke said, there was a shower on the way, it was very heavy, and I still couldn't hold on for 5 minutes.

After it rained, there was an extra layer of humidity in the air, and even the humidity was hot, hitting the face, and it was more uncomfortable than pure heat.

I thought I would be the first to fail, but unexpectedly, Jiang Ke was the first to fall.

After Jiang Ke fainted, in order to prevent her from getting a cold, I changed her clothes.

But I found that her body began to appear blue and purple again.

Could it be that Jiang Ke hasn't recovered?Or did Gu Xiao's soul-shifting cause her condition to relapse?
