……
Walking to the door of Hu's house, Lian Ge stopped slightly on the spot without pushing or knocking on the door.
In the next moment, two figures appeared in Lian Ge's sight through the courtyard wall,
"Meet the Celestial Master!"
The two government officials in black formal suits bowed slightly to Lian Ge and greeted Lian Ge.
Seeing that these two local government officials knew him, Lian Ge didn't repeat himself any longer.
Nodding his head, he asked directly, "Are you from the Exit and Entry Administration Office of the Underworld?"
"Reporting to the Celestial Master, yes, we are members of the Shuchuan District Emergency Team under the jurisdiction of the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Underworld." One of the slightly stronger officials of the Underworld replied respectfully.
"You've been by the yard just now, why didn't you take that old lady's soul away, I think she's going to be a ghost soon?" Lian Ge asked with doubts in his heart.
Hearing this, the two officials of the underworld looked at each other, and then replied in the slightly stronger way:
"Tianshi, our emergency team was set up to deal with emergencies in the underworld, and our main job is to stop and control ghosts so that they don't hurt innocent people.
Therefore, every time there is an abnormal death event in the jurisdiction, and if the newborn soul is extremely resentful, we will rush to the scene.But... following the laws and regulations of the underworld on ghosts and other aspects, we will not prevent the soul of this old lady from turning into ghosts. "
Listening to the first half of the sentence, Lian Ge nodded,
In this way, the institutional functions of the underworld are quite complete.
Just the second half of the sentence...
"If you follow the normal process, how will you handle this matter?" Lian Ge asked again.
"First of all, after receiving the news, the emergency team headquarters in charge of Shuchuan District will send out members of the emergency team under its jurisdiction. This time we are the ones coming up from below."
The stronger officials of the underworld replied,
"According to the procedure, if the soul that is about to turn into a ghost is in front of a person who has committed a heinous crime, we will directly detain and control it, then bring it back to the underworld and hand it over to other departments for processing.
But if it is confirmed that he has grievances, we will monitor his soul in real time to ensure that he is under our control, and then wait patiently.
Or we will take her back to the underworld directly when she is cleared of her grievances and her grievances dissipate.
Or wait until her grievances continue to increase, completely turning into a ghost, and take her revenge, and then bring her back to the underworld to be dealt with. "
After finishing speaking, the strong official of the underworld added respectfully,
"If Heavenly Master, you need to take over this matter, we can follow your instructions."
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled, looked at the gate in front of him, shook his head and said,
"No, just follow your rules."
Chapter 30 Night
"There is another question I want to ask."
"Master, please speak."
"Didn't the Hu family invite a gentleman over before? How did he die?"
"His feet stumbled on the threshold, and he fell to his death."
"Accident?"
"Yes, Master Tian, his soul has been taken down by my colleagues."
……
After getting an affirmative answer from the officials of the local government, Lian Ge couldn't help shaking his head. What he thought was the weirdest thing was actually just an accident, and Lian Ge didn't know what to say.
"Okay, go on with your work, I won't bother you." Lian Ge withdrew his thoughts and said to the two ghost messengers in front of him.
"Respectfully sending off the Celestial Master." The two officials of the underworld bowed respectfully,
Lian Ge didn't stay any longer, turned around and left the door of Hu's courtyard again.
……
After a while, on the side of the cement road, Lian Ge walked back to Xiaoying's side again,
"Have you called yet?" Lian Ge looked at Gu Xiaoying and asked casually,
"Already called the police." Gu Xiaoying nodded first, then looked at Lian Ge curiously, and asked, "Have you finished chatting with those 'people'?"
"The chat is over." Seeing Gu Xiaoying's excited appearance, Lian Ge couldn't help smiling, "Why? You want to meet too?"
"is it okay?"
"No." Lian Ge smiled and shook his head, "Next time, there will be a chance."
"Did the police tell you to wait here?"
"No. After hearing that it was murder, they said they would send someone over immediately. Let me find a safe place first, protect myself, and contact me again if necessary." Gu Xiaoying shook her head and said.
"Then let's go, it's still some distance away from our home, and we have to go next."
"It's okay, let's take it as a trip. The environment is really good."
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled and didn't answer,
"...Lian Ge, why do you think Yu Yan wanted to kill that old lady?"
"...Maybe it was that Yu Yan who was stealing people outside was caught by the old lady, and then Yu Yan killed the old lady because she was afraid of the news being leaked."
"Ah? How did you infer this?"
"Inferred what? You forgot, your boyfriend and I are a magic stick, of course I figured it out."
"Can this be calculated? Lian Ge, you are bluffing me."
"Yeah, I'm bluffing you, the devil knows why... But whatever, it's not my job to investigate the truth..."
Accompanied by the continuous voice, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying walked slowly along the winding mountain road towards Lianjia Village.
……
After a long time,
"...Brother Lian, I regret it, I don't want to leave, let's go back and let Mr. Hu drive us back."
"Are you sure? It may be closer to our home now."
"Oh, let's go on then."
……
After another moment,
"...Little brother of the Lian family, are you tired? How about I carry you away?"
"..."
"Come on, classmate Gu Xiaoying."
"okay."
……
In this way, the first half was playful, the second half Lian Ge carried Gu Xiaoying on his back,
After dawdling on the road for more than an hour, he finally returned to Lian's old house.
That night,
The night has completely enveloped the earth, and the stars are beginning to emerge.
In the courtyard of the old house, the two who simply had dinner cuddled together.
"...It's so quiet, there is no sound of cars, no noise of the city, only the sound of insects in the distance." Gu Xiaoying lay in Lian Ge's arms, looked up at the stars embedded in the night, and that A slanting moon,
"I really want to just keep looking up at the starry sky and enjoying the peace and quiet." Gu Xiaoying said, turning around and looking at Lian Ge's face,
"Lian Ge, did you grow up here when you were young? Your childhood should be very interesting."
Lian Ge looked down at Gu Xiaoying in his arms, and couldn't help smiling,
"Summer nights, stars and moon, insects singing and dogs barking, all things in nature... Xiaoying, you have all these poetic and picturesque scenes in your mind now, but in front of me, there is only..."
"Crack!" Lian Ge stretched out his hands together, and slapped a creature that was trying to drink his blood to death.
"Mosquito." Lian Ge spread his hands, showing the remains of the mosquito in front of Gu Xiaoying's eyes.
Gu Xiaoying didn't feel disgusted or disgusted, but took a few glances with interest,
"This should be a Culex mosquito, but I don't know which branch it is."
Hearing this, Lian Ge silently removed the Culex remains in his hand, and then continued,
"The quiet and peaceful nature in your eyes is actually just the helpless choice of the people here. You think we are willing to stay here. When I was a child, there were no roads here, and cars couldn't drive in. Only people could barely get in and out. , not only poor, but also lack of supplies. However, there are indeed some interesting things...
Chasing dogs and chasing chickens, climbing trees to pick fruits and touching birds' eggs, going down rivers to catch fish and crabs... When I was a child, I was a 'tyrant' in the village, and every dog had to run away when it saw me. "
As he said that, Lian Ge couldn't help laughing.
And Gu Xiaoying, who listened carefully to Lian Ge's words, also smiled heartily,
"I still remember that when I was young, there were several mulberry trees growing at the foot of the mountain at the entrance of the village. Every year, when the mulberries were ripe, I would lie on the tree and eat them. I would come down from the tree when I was full..."
"Lian Ge, you had such fun when you were young." Gu Xiaoying sighed, "Unlike me, when I was young, I could only stay at home and play on the computer."
"If the children here at that time were to choose, they would definitely like to live a childhood like yours, playing video games and playing with mobile phones. Because your troubles are the troubles of happiness, and their fun is to have fun in bitterness, go up and down the mountain He was looking for something to eat, and that was because there was nothing else to eat." Lian Ge raised his head slightly, looking at the stars all over the sky.
"Oh..." Gu Xiaoying was silent for a while, and then couldn't help asking, "Then Lian Ge, did you ever go hungry when you were young?"
"No." Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
"When the old man was still there, he was a well-known gentleman in ten miles and eight villages. At that time, he earned more money than my parents combined. How could he make me hungry. Since elementary school, I have been living in Xugou City. The schools in the district, I had everything you had when you were young... Well, I also had video games and computers in my childhood."
"Lian Ge...I really want to bite you." Gu Xiaoying was silent for a while, and then said angrily.
"Then you can bite, you can bite anywhere you want." After saying that, Lian Ge collapsed on the armchair, as if letting go.
"Hmph, I don't bite, I pinch!"
With that said, Gu Xiaoying stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh on Lian Ge's waist,
"... Gu Xiaoying, is this a natural skill of you girls?" Lian Ge said with a 'grit of teeth' and a 'sigh'.
"Yeah, hum, do you know what's wrong? See if you dare to tease me next time."
……
The two were playing around, and after a while, they snuggled together again.
"Lian Ge, I'm leaving tomorrow, don't you really want me to ask for a few more days off?"
"No, you go back first, I will go back to school to find you later. But..."
"But what?"
"However, tonight is the last night you will stay here before you leave. Do you want us...to continue the unfinished business."
Lian Ge said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, Gu Xiaoying's face turned red instantly.
"Lian Ge, you rascal, thinking about such things all day long?"
"Is it wrong to think about your wife?"
"Hmph, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to sleep."
With that said, Gu Xiaoying stood up, blushing and walked quickly back to the bedroom.
Seeing this, Lian Ge smiled, but didn't get up, and continued to admire the sky full of stars.
……
After a long time, Lian Ge also returned to the bedroom, and his mobile phone rang at this time.
"Lian Ge, according to the weather forecast, it will rain and thunder tonight. I'm a little scared. Can you come and accompany me?"
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lian Ge walked quickly towards Gu Xiaoying's bedroom.
