I become a god in another world

Chapter 382 The Wedding Date is Approaching (Double Monthly Ticket Request)

Chapter 382

Lu Yuhe became more and more certain that he had encountered a ghost last night.

He did not dare to go to the Demon Suppression Division rashly, but went to the county magistrate's mansion first, arranged for the servants and lawyers, and hoped to ask the county magistrate to act as a buffer between him and the Demon Suppression Division.

After spending a huge amount of money, someone finally asked the county magistrate for help, and he was able to meet the county magistrate.

After the meeting, he mentioned the strange things that happened last night, but the county magistrate looked embarrassed.

As the county chief, he was fully aware of the recent ghost fetus case in Changping County.

The Demon Suppression Division has been in trouble recently and has been unable to take care of itself, so it is difficult for it to devote its attention to taking care of Lu Yuhe and this side.

He didn't dare to disturb Ding Datong who controlled the evil spirit, so he had to coax Lu Yuhe away first, intending to suppress the matter and then test Ding Datong's attitude afterwards.

……

As a result of this delay, half a month passed in a flash.

During this period, Ding Datong was worried about the ghost fetus case. Seeing that the travel deadline was approaching and Zhong Yao and the other two had not returned yet, Ding Datong's temper became increasingly irritable, and the Changping County Magistrate never found a chance to tell him about the Lu family.

However, the Lu family’s situation did not improve after reporting the case to the police.

Chen Duozi said:

"When the master came back and said he had informed the authorities, I felt relieved."

Now that we have informed the government, no matter what happens, the government will be there to clean up the mess.

However, in order to prevent the matter from spreading and causing panic, after discussion between the couple, Lu Yuhe decided to keep the matter secret and wait for the Demon Suppression Division to make a decision.

Fortunately, nothing major happened at home while he was waiting.

No one in the family knew anything about this and the family was peaceful.

Whenever strange things happen, the family will never have peace.

According to rumors, there may be snakes, insects, rats and ants appearing, or dead chickens and ducks, or withered plants.

But nothing strange happened in the Lu family, and no one fell ill, so Lu Yuhe and Chen Duozi gradually relaxed their tense nerves.

"I even thought at first that the county governor had informed Lord Ding of the Demon Suppression Division about this matter, and Lord Ding secretly resolved the matter."

After Chen Duozi finished speaking, Fan Bisi asked:
"Is it actually resolved?"

In fact, what he said is nonsense.

Because even someone as slow-witted as Fan Wujiu could feel that after his brother finished asking the question, a look of misery appeared on Chen Duozi's face.

"It seems that there is no more." Meng Po sighed and shook her head.

"Something strange happened to Lu Zhuer." Zhao Fusheng said this with affirmation rather than question.

Chen Duozi nodded with a fearful look on his face.

"Her bracelet - the bracelet really appeared, the blood bracelet -" Chen Duozi stammered:
"The day after the incident, after I looked at her wrist, Zhuer became very concerned about the incident. She looked at her wrist from time to time and found that the blood bracelet mark was getting darker day by day—"

After the tenth day, one could even faintly see with the naked eye a translucent bracelet appearing on her wrist.

Chen Duozi buried her face in her son's tender back and cried with her shoulders shaking.

Although Lu Pan'er was young, she was sensible and gently reached out to touch her mother's back.

The mother and son cuddled together for a while. With her son's comfort, Chen Duozi regained her spirits and said again:
"Five or six days ago, I saw a bracelet vaguely on her wrist, and then it gradually became visible, and I could even reach out and touch it—"

Chen Duozi forced a smile:
"And Zhuer began to have dreams at night, always dreaming that she was wearing a phoenix coronet and a phoenix robe——"

As time passed, Lu Zhuer's dreams also changed, from wearing wedding clothes at the beginning to gradually entering a bridal room that was being prepared and decorated.

"At the same time, her clothes, shoes and jewelry are also changing."

Zhao Fusheng asked:

"What has become of it?"

In fact, as Chen Duozi narrated, she already had a rough guess in her mind.

Chen Duozi seemed to be in fear and did not answer Zhao Fusheng's words.

Zhao Fusheng simply asked again:
"Is it possible that she has some characteristics of a newlywed? Her clothes, her jewelry—"

At this point, Zhao Fusheng paused, and a strange, bizarre and bold idea came into her mind. She looked at Chen Duozi:

"The shoes turned red?!"

When Chen Duozi and Meng Po heard this, they both shuddered.

"Shoes—red shoes?"

Meng Po's expression changed.

Chen Duozi's lips trembled and his pupils shrank. He hesitated for a long time, first shook his head, then hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Is it or isn't it? Tell me!"

Meng Po shouted.

Chen Duozi trembled all over, and her voice became tearful:
"Yeah, not really. I don't know how to put it—"

"If you don't know, just tell me slowly."

After the initial shock passed, the alarm bells in Zhao Fusheng's mind gradually subsided. She calmed down a little and looked at Chen Duozi:
"Why do you say yes and no? Could it be that the shoes are not completely red yet?"

"Yes, your Excellency is right."

Chen Duozi didn't know why Zhao Fusheng and Meng Po were so concerned about this. She was stared at by the two men sternly, like a frightened quail, and her words were answered much more smoothly:

"At first, the heels of her socks were a little red, and we thought they were not cleaned properly. But the strange thing is that no matter how we washed the socks, that spot seemed to be a long-standing blood stain and could not be rubbed off."

Chen Duozi examined Lu Zhuer's feet.

Lu Zhuer was a girl who was raised in the boudoir. She seldom walked and there was no wound on the back of her feet.

But the socks she wore were stained with blood, and no one knew where the blood came from.

And as time went by, the bloodstains on her heels were getting bigger - as if there was an invisible wound on Lu Zhuer's feet, and the bloodstains spread from the heels to the soles of her feet and then to her toes.

"Last night, I checked Pearl's feet. There was still no wound, but the socks were almost all stained red, and some of it was stained on the soles of the shoes--"

Anxiety appeared in Chen Duozi's eyes:
"No matter how much blood there was at first, there was none on the shoes. But there was one last night. It wasn't much, about the size of a bird's egg." She pinched her index finger and thumb together to make a circle to indicate the size:

"Based on the speed at which the blood is flowing through my socks, I estimate that my shoes will be stained red sooner or later—"

When Chen Duozi talked about these things, he was afraid and panicked, but the expressions of the people in Wan'an County gradually became serious.

If it was just the Changping County ghost fetus case, it would be fine, as everyone expected it. However, no one expected that the Lu family who accidentally joined in the middle were also involved in a ghost case.

"Sir, does Ding Datong know about this?"

Zhang Chuanshi turned his head and looked at Zhao Fusheng with a sincere look on his face.

This old man is not a good person. He is secretly trying to do something bad.

"Whether you know or not, just ask him later and you'll find out." Liu Yizhen said.

The Lu family’s case involves paper figures.

However, the people in Wan'an County were highly sensitive to the word "paper man". When they thought of such means, they would inevitably think of Paper Man Zhang.

But Zhang Chuanshi and Zhang the Paper Man have a deep connection. He had already felt uneasy when he heard Chen Duozi mention "43 years ago". Later, when he heard that the Lu family's team that seemed to be sending a betrothal gift in the middle of the night was not right, he became even more uneasy.

Zhang Chuanshi knew Zhao Fusheng's character very well - when it came to a ghost case, she would definitely get to the bottom of it.

However, once he gets involved with Paper Man Zhang, his past will be exposed again.

He felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to blame Zhao Fusheng. He secretly hated Ding Datong, thinking that this guy was deliberately doing bad things and was trying to make trouble for him.

Chen Duozi didn't understand what was going on.

She saw that Zhang Chuanshi was smiling and his expression was normal when he talked to Liu Yizhen, and there was no sarcastic tone in his words. However, with the keen intuition honed from her childhood life, she still felt that Zhang Chuanshi was very unhappy at this moment.

"This lord——"

Chen Duozi was timidly trying to speak, and Zhao Fusheng said:

"Don't talk about this for now," she said seriously.

"Go on and tell me what happened next."

She didn't expect that just agreeing to go with someone would lead to such twists and turns and such an accident.

"Yes..." Chen Duozi responded, and finally asked again:
"Where would you like to start, sir?"

This ghost case is so complicated and confusing that she is actually confused now.

Zhao Fusheng said:
"You should start from the time when you asked for the engagement in the middle of the night half a month ago."

She was not thrown into disarray by the sudden question about the suspected red shoe ghost case. Instead, she calmly followed her own train of thought, sorting out the clues in her mind while asking questions.

"That night, the three of you seemed to have encountered the same group of people. The one Lu Zhuer encountered gave her a blood jade bracelet, and the one you and Lu Yuhe encountered gave her dozens of loads of gifts." Zhao Fusheng asked:
"The blood jade bracelet disappeared that night, so where are the other gifts?"

If it involves something strange and extremely dangerous, Ding Datong will definitely not sit idly by.

For ordinary people, evil things related to ghosts mean bad luck and ominousness; however, for ghost handlers, some evil things mean priceless treasures, and the right evil things may save their lives in ghost cases.

"Gift? Oh, betrothal gift..." Chen Duozi suddenly realized, and then said fearfully:

"My Lord, those are not gifts."

There were so many things that day that they filled the entire courtyard. Because of the fright they had in the middle of the night, the couple hid in their room and didn't dare go out.

The gift list in their hands turned into yellow paper with blood spots, so naturally the two of them didn't have the courage to go out and select the items from the list.

"The next morning, Mrs. Huang at home..." Chen Duozi explained:

"She is a servant of the Lu family and has been in the Lu family for many years."

Seeing Zhao Fusheng nod, she continued:
"When Mrs. Huang woke up in the morning, she found that the front and back yards were covered with paper money."

The piles were thick and half a palm high, like dead leaves in winter, filling the front and back yards of the Lu family.

"Paper money?" Wu Shaochun was stunned.

Chen Duozi nodded and said helplessly:
"There are more than ten baskets of them. It would be a pity to throw them away, but I don't dare to keep them as firewood—"

Liu Yizhen looked at Zhao Fusheng and said:

"Just now Chen Duozi mentioned that the delivery man carrying the container was light and fluttering, and he walked like he was floating. Now paper money has appeared. Fusheng, do you think this has something to do with the paper man Zhang?"

"The time and the paper figures match, so it's most likely he did it."

Zhao Fusheng sneered.

She seemed relaxed and casual on the surface, but she was actually on guard inside.

Once the matter involves the paper man Zhang, then this ghost case must be extraordinary.

"After that, we wanted to find a place to bury the paper money, but our neighbor wanted some, and we didn't dare to give it to him—"

The Lu family was afraid of getting into trouble.

It's hard to say about things involving ghost cases. If the news of paper dolls delivering goods in the middle of the night spreads, I'm afraid the neighbors will think that the Lu family is unlucky and may even ostracize them.

"Alas." Chen Duozi sighed:
"Afterwards, I ended up offending people and was embarrassed." She said softly:
"When we were leaving, the neighbor next door blamed me for climbing up the social ladder and looking down on my old neighbors - I don't know what this is all about."

Zhao Fusheng waited for her to finish speaking before asking:

"How did this matter get to Ding Datong?"

"In fact, there was no news from the Demon Suppression Division after the incident, and we were also very panicked, especially Zhu'er's shoes and socks—"

She pursed her lips when she said this:

"Afterwards, there was another strange thing at home—"

"What's strange?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Chen Duozi whispered:
"Everyone in our family began to have dreams at night that Pearl's wedding was approaching."

"In my dream, I saw Zhuer wearing her wedding dress and entering the wedding hall—" She recalled the scene in her dream and felt a little scared. She continued:

"I don't know why, sir, but I always feel that if this marriage doesn't happen, something terrible will happen to our Lu family."

When she got to this point, she suddenly lowered her head and sobbed again:

"About five days ago, Pan'er disappeared, and our whole family went out to look for her everywhere."

The family originally thought that he had opened the door and went out to play, and was taken away by a nearby kidnapper. Just when they were despairing, Lu Paner appeared from the house.

Chen Duozi was surprised, happy and a little angry at the time, and immediately asked her son where he had gone.

Lu Paner seemed to be possessed by a demon, and she shouted:

Before Chen Duozi could say what her son had shouted, the child, who had been held in her arms but remained silent, suddenly opened his mouth:

"There are still 31 days until the wedding."

A child's voice is tender and should be innocent.

But at this moment, Lu Paner's words mixed with his expressionless face were creepy.

Chen Duozi had been hugging her son tightly, but when she heard this, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost, she subconsciously reached out and pushed her son.

Lu Paner was pushed to the ground by her mother, but she did not cry or scream.

The child is still young and should have rich expressions, but at this moment, his face is gloomy and his eyes are dull.

His face was strangely smooth and rigid, as if it were carved from jade, and he shouted mechanically:
"There are still 31 days until the wedding!"

"There are still 31 days until the wedding!"

"Stop talking, stop talking!"

Chen Duozi realized what she had done, suppressed her panic, reached out to hold her son's hand, and tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

She hugged her son tightly and finally couldn't hold back her tears:

"Pan'er, Pan'er - if there is a ghost, don't look for my son, look for me, I am willing to take his place -"

"You can't do this for me." Zhao Fusheng said lightly.

As she spoke, she reached out to grab Lu Paner.

The moment his arm touched Lu Pan'er, the beggar's power was activated. Zhao Fusheng's arm quickly lost its temperature and blood color. His fingers turned from white to gray, and finally turned slightly blue, taking on a dead-like color.
