Live fortune-telling: Boss, this child is not yours

Xiao Yi heard the reputation and saw Lao Tao walking slowly towards the entrance of the village while beating the gong.

His eyes suddenly froze!
This old Tao has a problem!

Different from the rough cloth shirt he was wearing before, he was wearing a colorful and strangely colored loose clothing at this time, which looked very strange.

Yu Canghai glanced at it, frowned and said, "What is Lao Tao doing? Dance master?"

"Old Yu, watch his feet carefully." Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Yu Canghai looked down and was taken aback for a moment.

I saw that Lao Tao's walking posture was very strange, both legs were on the tiptoes of the ground.

According to common sense, the force-bearing area of ​​the toes is not enough to support the weight of the whole person.

"He, he...isn't human..." Yu Canghai realized, sweating on his brow, exclaimed.

At this time, Lao Tao who was walking on the street probably heard Yu Canghai's voice, turned his head stiffly, and looked at the window of the room where they were sitting.

Xiao Yi immediately saw that Lao Tao's complexion was a little blue, but there was a gleam in his eyes, and he was not as dull and lifeless as a real dead person.

Xiao Yi immediately understood.

What they saw was the ghost of Lao Tao!
Walking on tiptoes is characteristic of ghosts who have just died.

Clear eyes meant that Lao Tao did not suffer murder, but committed suicide.

And what he is wearing now is probably the characteristic shroud in this village.

Xiao Yi saw that Lao Tao smiled at them, with a hint of relief and hope in his smile.

Immediately, he turned around and walked slowly to the entrance of the village, walking straight into the stream.

As the water surface gradually submerged the top of his head, he disappeared soon.

After a long time, Yu Canghai swallowed nervously: "Master, this old Tao's ghost is strange..."

Xiao Yi then told him what he thought after careful observation.

After listening, Yu Canghai was even more at a loss.

"Old Tao, why did he commit suicide? I feel quite normal after being with him for the past two days!"

Xiao Yi spread his hands.

"I don't know about this, after all, I am not omniscient."

In fact, he had a vague guess in his mind.

But right now there is still a lack of evidence, so he didn't tell Yu Canghai.

Judging from the expression that Lao Tao looked at them just now, Lao Tao probably planned it for a long time.

Accepting their employment and bringing them here as a guide was probably planned by him long ago.

It's just that Xiao Yi didn't know, why did he do this?
Besides, why did he commit suicide?
Looking at the thick fog outside the window, Xiao Yi felt that his thoughts were also lost.

Xiao Yi looked at Yu Canghai: "Old Yu, you and Lao Tao have had a good chat these two days, tell us about his situation, and see if you can find any clues."

He doesn't like small talk very much, and Yu Canghai is extroverted and slick, so he was the one who chatted with Tao Yishui the most along the way.

Yu Canghai nodded, organized his thoughts, and said, "Old Tao has an old house here, you already know about this master. As for the specific situation of his family, I heard from Lao Tao that he failed the high school entrance examination, and followed the town's Relatives mainly do various small businesses, and later the tourism industry developed here, so he followed suit and became a tour guide."

"I heard that he has an older brother who was admitted to university and went to a big city to develop. But he didn't say anything about his older brother's specific situation."

Xiao Yi listened for a long time, except for his brother, there seemed to be no useful information.

"Let's rest first. Let's go to the village to inquire after dawn and see if we can get any information."

Xiao Yi was talking, when he suddenly heard a hasty knock on the door.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
When Yu Canghai opened the door, he saw a shop assistant standing outside the door with an anxious expression on his face.

At a glance, he saw that the guy was holding a hammer in his hand.

He couldn't help being startled, he quickly took two steps back, and said in a deep voice, "You're holding a hammer at night, what do you want to do?"

The clerk quickly explained: "The two guest officers must not misunderstand! I am here to nail the windows."

Yu Canghai looked confused.

"What are you doing nailing the windows?"

"The two of you don't know that our village has not been peaceful at night recently, so for safety reasons, we have to nail down the doors and windows at night to prevent unclean things from entering the house."

Yu Canghai looked at Xiao Yi, waiting for his decision.

"Unclean things..."

Xiao Yi muttered, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you."

The man then walked into the house, closed the two windows in the room, and nailed them firmly with nails.

Immediately, he was still worried, and put a layer of burlap on the window glass to seal it tightly.

"Okay, that's safe!"

After finishing his work, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Yu Canghai took the opportunity to ask: "Brother, what exactly is going on with the unclean things you mentioned just now? We are newcomers, please tell us!"

The clerk showed embarrassment: "Actually, I haven't seen it either. I just heard that in the days when the full moon was approaching in the village, some people in the village saw a black shadow drifting by on the street, and their souls were sucked away."

Shadow?

Why does this sound unreliable?

It's like chasing after wind and shadow.

Yu Canghai shook his head, and asked again: "By the way, have you found anything strange about the stream at the entrance of the village?"

The buddy didn't even think about it, just shook his head: "No."

At this time Xiao Yi suddenly asked: "How long has the legend of this black shadow in your village been circulating?"

The partner said: "It's been decades at least. I don't know exactly when it started to appear. I think it should be earlier than my birth!"

After the buddy left, Yu Canghai looked at Xiao Yi: "Master, do you think what this buddy said is true? Is there anything to hide?"

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"He shouldn't be hiding anything, but it's hard to say whether it's true. After all, he's just an ordinary person, and it's normal that he can't see some things. But..."

"But what? Master, what did you find?" Yu Canghai raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "I think the black shadows he mentioned just now may not be all real, but at least they are not far off. The vision in the water is probably caused by a powerful evil spirit."

Said, took a deep breath.

"Things that can emit such a powerful evil spirit are probably a powerful creature!"

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Yu Canghai's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

"But one thing...isn't right!" He suddenly found a problem, "If this is the case, the Zhetian Formation should also restrain this creature, right?"

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"It depends on the specific situation of the creature. If it comes from other places, it will indeed be affected by the formation; but if the creature was born in this village, the Zhetian Formation can't restrict it."
