Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 268 Jealous Villagers

"Hey!"

"Don't get excited! When you get excited, the temperature drops several degrees!"

When Xia Dongqing saw the man excited, the coldness in his body suddenly burst out, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Even the sleeping little boy felt the coldness, frowned, curled up, and wrapped the quilt tighter.

When the man saw it, he became a little panicked and quickly controlled his emotions to avoid getting cold to his son.

"Don't worry, we promised the mountain god will help you." An Yan said to calm the man's mood, "That's right, Officer Zhao."

Zhao Li nodded.

Seeing the soul ferryman nodding, the man was so excited that he immediately kowtowed to An Yan and the others, "Thank you, thank you for your great kindness!"

"It's very late at night now. You should go first. We will go to help you understand the situation tomorrow."

Besides, who says there can’t be ghosts in outer space?
"Go to sleep. We'll find out if we go to his house tomorrow. His wife should know something." An Yan quickly interrupted Xia Dongqing's thoughts and said.

"Okay." Xia Dongqing, whose thoughts were interrupted, was still a little unfinished.

The sleeping little boy, whose originally frowning brow was also Panasonic, slept soundly.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Don't think too much, the North and South Pole are out, why don't you say he is in outer space?"

An Yan nodded, "Okay, got it."

Looking closer, he was surprised to find that it was one of the three men he met in the mountains during the day.

"Then what do you think we should do now? There is a huge crowd, where can we find a body?" Xia Dongqing felt that this matter was difficult to handle and asked helplessly.

Xia Dongqing smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Isn't he using his imagination reasonably?

"Say Hammer, it's still in outer space. I'll send you up there tomorrow." Officer Zhao rolled his eyes, getting more and more outrageous as he spoke.

The man was unconcerned and thanked him again and again before leaving the hotel.

At around four o'clock in the morning, the sleeping little boy opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar room with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"thanks, thanks!"

At this moment, he understood something and cursed in a low voice: "It must be those bad people who want to destroy the mountain again."

"Who?"

Then, when he saw the clothes placed at the end of the bed, he showed a sly smile and thought to himself: Look, if I don't take away all your clothes, you have caused such harm to the mountains, and now you still dare to come!
Just as he tiptoed to pick up his clothes and prepare to leave, a voice sounded in the darkness.

Zhao Li also waved goodbye and left the room.

"Then I'm going back to my room."

"Based on the condition of the man, I guess this place has no sky, no ground, no people, and it's very cold."

The electric kettle was beeping. Xia Dongqing stood aside with a cup and asked doubtfully: "I've seen his ghost, can't I be sure of his death?"

"Therefore, the local soul ferryman will not accept such a ghost who is not yet dead in name without seeing a death certificate from the human world."

Xia Dongqing quickly got out of bed, went to get water and boiled a pot of water, and said, "I didn't expect him to come to the door by himself. It seems that he really loves his child."

"Fridge? Icehouse? Arctic? Antarctic?"

"By the way, my son's name is Wang Xiaoshan. He will trouble you."

"Who says it's not the case? I think I saw the child being taken away by a stranger." Zhao Li nodded, then he looked at An Yan, "An Yan, where do you think his body is?"

"For example, if you say you are from a certain country, how can you prove that you are from a certain country?"

Soon, the room returned to calm.

He sat up alertly, and there was a slight sound of breathing from the right side. Through the faint moonlight shining in from the window, he saw a man sleeping soundly.

An Yan took his hands out of their arms, waved and said, he didn't want Zhao Li and Xia Dongqing to sleep with him in their arms tonight.

As soon as the man left, the heat wave poured in from the outside and the indoor temperature rose rapidly. Only then did Zhao Li and Xia Dongqing let out a long sigh of relief and felt comfortable.

"Dongqing, these are the rules of the underworld. Only when a person's death is truly confirmed can he be brought back to the underworld for trial to see whether the person will be reincarnated or go to the eighteenth level of hell." An Yan popularized the rules of the underworld to Xia Dongqing. , and then gave another example.

"If we can't find his body, we won't be able to confirm his death."

Zhao Li also continued: "An Yan is right. If the soul ferryman hooks a living soul into the underworld by mistake, it will be a serious dereliction of duty and will be cast into the realm of animals."

"Hey, don't say it yet!" Xia Dongqing was so rare that he couldn't change his mind and still said something serious.

"That's the problem." Zhao Li was also distressed. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. "You said, even if his body is burned to ashes, there are still clues about him."

"You learn to steal things at a young age. This is not a good habit, kid."

"If not, you are a gangster. How can a country allow a gangster to come in?"

Aren’t you worshiping the mountain god? Why did it suddenly appear here?

"You must have an ID card and a household registration. It must have your last name written on it and where you live."

However, the little boy was unexpectedly bold and did not run away immediately. Instead, he wanted to get closer to see who this person was and whether he was a bad person.

Looking at the sleeping boy on the bed, Xia Dongqing sighed slightly, what a poor child.

An Yan was startled when he heard Xia Dongqing say it was a refrigerator. He almost thought that Xia Dongqing had awakened the ability to predict the future, until later the North Pole and the South Pole came out.

The little boy was so frightened that he almost peed himself. He quickly turned around and looked back.

Only then did he realize that there was actually a bed next door, and a figure hidden in the darkness was sitting cross-legged, looking at him.

Seeing that the little boy was so frightened by him, An Yan smiled slightly. He didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when he saw that this boy actually wanted to attack their belongings, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

"If we hadn't rescued you from the mountains, you would have been snatched away by wild beasts in the mountains. Who do you think we are?"

"Hmph! It must have been you who knocked me unconscious. No wonder I kept feeling like there was someone following me behind me. It turned out to be you." The little boy was not that easy to fool, and he actually found out part of the truth.

An Yan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this kid was quite intelligent. He thought he would be a good candidate for cultivating Taoism.

However, such qualifications did not catch his eye, and he had no intention of fighting with the little brat. He said directly: "We are not bad people. If you want to leave, just put down your things and leave."

"If you don't want to leave, go to bed and I'll take you home tomorrow. We are here to investigate your father's disappearance."

The little boy who originally wanted to leave looked stunned, and then his breathing became rapid, "Do you know about my father?"

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have gone deep into the mine to investigate."

"Okay, it's almost dawn. If you want to leave, hurry up."

After An Yan finished speaking, he continued to practice and ignored the little boy.

In the darkness, there was a trace of struggle in the little boy's eyes. However, after thinking that the other party did not tie his hands and feet like the kidnapping in the movie, it seems that the other party may not really be a bad person.

In addition, he wanted to know what happened to his father urgently, so he had to put his clothes back to their original places and lay back on the bed.

However, the little boy who had been sleeping for a long time was not sleepy. He turned sideways and looked out the window at the pre-dawn night with wide eyes.

He was about to enter sixth grade, and as he was no longer a child, he understood that his father had been missing for so long, probably because of a mining accident.

But he didn't want to believe this fact, so he kept deceiving himself and praying to the mountain god to bless his father's safe return.

Now, the arrival of An Yan and the others has completely shattered his illusion.

He was very conflicted now. He was afraid of hearing the answer he didn't want to hear, but he also had a bit of luck in his heart.

just in case!

What if dad is really still alive?
In this way, the little boy never closed his eyes until dawn.

An Yan woke up from meditation and saw the little boy staring directly at him on the bed next to him, with an expression that was about to speak but he hesitated.

Seeing this, he smiled and asked: "Hey, what's your name?"

"Aren't you here to investigate my father? Why don't you know my name?" The little boy sounded suspicious and began to doubt An Yan's identity.

Seeing that this kid was actually cheating on her, An Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny, and lamented that children nowadays are really as big as a kid.

But how could he be tricked out of words by a little kid?

His expression showed no change in emotion as he said, "Your name is Wang Xiaoshan, right."

Wang Xiaoshan was stunned, and the doubts in his heart were completely dispelled. He believed what An Yan said in front of him, and believed that the other party was really here to investigate the case of his father's disappearance.

Seeing Wang Xiaoshan's expression, An Yan smiled in his heart, "Young man, if you want to fight me, you're still far away."

Then he couldn't help but shook his head. It was true that he, an immortal, was actually fighting a battle of wits and courage with a little brat.

"Go and wash up. I'll take you home after breakfast." An Yan stood up and patted Wang Xiaoshan's head.

"Ah."

Wang Xiaoshan, who initially trusted An Yan, obeyed and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

Then An Yan woke up Xia Dongqing and then woke up Zhao Li.

After having breakfast, the group rushed to Wang Xiaoshan's home.

An Yan, who knew where the body was hidden, planned to come straight to the point later. After dealing with Wang Xiaoshan's father, he still had to prepare for the construction of the mountain temple.

Wang Xiaoshan's home is located in a backward small mountain village. The road leading to the village was only built in recent years, and few outsiders come in.

No, Zhao Li's big jeep is like an oversized light bulb. When the old people in the village chatting and gossiping at the entrance of the village saw it, their eyes suddenly lit up and they pointed at the big jeep going away.

An Yan saw that most of the people in the left-behind village were old people and children. He turned to look at Wang Xiaoshan and said, "It seems that after the mining in Dashan is completed, your village has become deserted."

Wang Xiaoshan didn't answer. He didn't know how to answer.

Because the adults in the village often only care about immediate interests and do not consider the long term.

What was originally promised by the mine suddenly collapsed along with the mountain as the mine was hollowed out.

The mountain on which I relied for survival was gone, and I didn't make much money. It was too late to regret later.

Wang Xiaoshan heard these things from his mother, so he especially hated people who destroyed the mountains and vowed to protect the mountains.

Xia Dongqing replied: "The mountain's resources will be squandered, and naturally all the people will leave."

While talking, Zhao Li, who was in the driver's seat, saw a large slope ahead and asked, "Is your home up there?"

Wang Xiaoshan nodded, "Yeah, but there's no place to park up there."

A group of villagers, mostly middle-aged and elderly people, gathered together at the foot of the slope. They saw the stopped luxury car and started whispering to each other.

"Hey, do you think this car is here to find La Zi Xi Tzu again?"

"Who else could it be but her?"

"What do you think these luxury cars are doing here all day long? The mountains have been hollowed out."

It happened that An Yan and the others got out of the car at this time.

The villagers thought about it instantly, with a hint of jealousy in their tone, "She has no man in her family, yet she has enough money to send Xiaoshan to the town to study, and men often come to see her."

"Do you think she did that?"

"Maybe!"

Wang Xiaoshan gritted his teeth when he heard the villagers slandering his mother, but there was nothing he could do. He could only look at these stinky sweet potatoes with red eyes.

An Yan reached out and patted Wang Xiaoshan on the shoulder, "Don't worry about them, they are just jealous that your mother can make money. Come on, take us to your house."

He was not lying when he said this. Don't think that there are no intrigues in the countryside. In order to fight for a little bit of field land or a little bit of water, there are many brothers who fight, let alone other people.

"Ah."

After hearing An Yan's comfort, Wang Xiaoshan felt much better and led them up the slope.

The expressions of Zhao Li and Xia Dongqing were not very good either, because they saw the ugly side of human nature.

Just at this time, a shrewd female voice sounded on the slope, "What are you people gathering here for? What are you doing after you've eaten? Let's go! Let's go! Let me go!"

A middle-aged woman wearing a red dress and dressed in a way that was incompatible with the villagers came out.

No wonder she is called Spicy Xishi. In addition to selling chili peppers and having a hot personality, even though her face is covered with traces of time, you can still vaguely know that she was definitely the village beauty of eight villages in ten miles when she was young.

Seeing the spicy Xishi walking out aggressively, the villagers obviously knew that she had a good relationship with the village chief and the town leaders, so they didn't dare to offend her, so they dispersed one after another.

"mom!"

Wang Xiaoshan threw himself into his mother's arms.

"Hill? Hill!"

When Lazi Xishi saw that it was her son who had been missing all night, she burst into tears. Then she was filled with worry and anger. She raised her palm and landed on Wang Xiaoshan's butt.

"Let you run around! Let you run around! If something happens to you, how will your mother survive?"

"I'll beat you to death, you disobedient child."

Lazi Xishi no longer looked as strong as before. At this moment, she was just a mother who was worried about her son.
