And just when the three of them were about to arrive at the paper-making shop.

But they all stopped.

"Grandpa, why is there a person squatting in front of our house!"

Wang Jie pointed to a thin figure sitting on the steps and asked directly.

heard.

Wang Yue frowned: "It should be something."

After speaking, he opened his legs and walked over quickly.

Hearing the movement, the man raised his head, and when he saw Wang Yue, he immediately stood up.

His skin is dark, his hands are full of calluses, and he is plainly dressed. He looks like a real farmer.

"Mr. Wang, my wife...is dead!"

The middle-aged man said in a low voice, his voice was extremely hoarse.

Obviously.

They both knew each other before.

"Brother, let's go in and talk."

Wang Yue unlocked the door and welcomed the man in.

The man's name was Yang Yonggen, and he was a vegetable seller in a village on the outskirts of the city.

In the past, I often delivered food to Wang Yue's family, and it was cooked after a few visits.

After the four sat down.

Wang Yue stared at Yang Yonggen: "Brother, don't worry, just speak slowly. Didn't your wife's condition improve before? Why... is she dead?"

"Ugh!"

Yang Yonggen sighed heavily, "I don't know either! I just got home from selling vegetables at night, and as soon as I entered the door, she hanged herself on...the beam!"

"This……"

After listening to him.

Bai Ran and Wang Jie looked at each other in blank dismay.

Especially Bai Ran, his face was even more ugly.

He suddenly thought of his grandfather.

"This is really..."

Wang Yue sighed, "Sit down first, and I'll prepare paper money for you."

"Good good."

Yang Yonggen nodded again and again, honestly, he was fidgeting and his face was full of anxiety.

"Little Jie, do you know what's going on?"

Bai Ran looked at Wang Jie.

"know."

Wang Jie nodded quickly, and then said in a low voice, "Yang Yonggen is old enough to have a son. He only had a son in his 40s. His wife seems to be a crazy woman from the neighboring village, who is ten or twenty years younger than Yang Yonggen.

It was originally a happy family of three, but just three months ago, Yang Yonggen's eight-year-old son drowned to death! "

"what?!"

Hearing this sentence, Bai Ran frowned.

Immediately, he cast his gaze on Yang Yonggen and sighed softly.

have to say.

This Yang Yonggen is also pitiful.

Within three months, the two close relatives were separated from each other!
For a 50-year-old middle-aged man, this is undoubtedly... a big blow.

"However, what I don't understand is... how can a crazy woman have any feelings? She wouldn't hang herself for her son, right?"

Wang Jie murmured.

His guess is not unreasonable.

It can even be said to be very reasonable.

Since he is a lunatic, he naturally has no feelings.

Thus.

That leaves only two other explanations.

First: murder.

Second: Taken away by her son's ghost!
to be frank.

The first possibility is not great. Who would attack a lunatic without incident?
It can't be Yang Yonggen, can it?

He is so honest, it is almost impossible for him to do such a crazy thing.

But if it really involves the second possibility.

that……

Bai Ran is about to intervene!

"Brother, this is what you want."

At this moment, Wang Yue handed over the packaged candle paper money to Yang Yonggen.

After the latter took it, he thanked him again and again: "By the way, Mr. Wang, I have one more request..."

"what's up?"

Wang Yue looked puzzled.

Yang Yonggen said earnestly: "My mother-in-law left in a hurry, and I couldn't find anyone who could do it for a while. You are a paper-making shop, so you should be familiar with this kind of thing. I want to ask... can you, Do me this favor?"

"what?"

Wang Yue was immediately stunned, "Brother, I have never done such a thing! I am just a paper maker, how can I do anything?"

"But... Where can I find someone else this late at night? You know, it's a custom here that there must be a mage present on the first night."

Yang Yonggen began to struggle, looking very helpless.

[The system began to issue tasks, accept Yang Yonggen's commission, and investigate the real cause of death of the deceased. The completion of the task will reward a lucky draw opportunity, and there will be no penalty for task failure. 】

Just now.

The voice of the system rang in Bai Ran's mind.

next second.

Bai Ran stood up directly, and said in a soft voice: "Uncle Gen, I can handle this matter."

"you?"

Yang Yonggen stared at Bai Ran suspiciously, "Young man, this is not a joke, don't follow along."

"Brother, maybe he can really help you!"

Wang Yue's eyes lit up, "He's...a Taoist priest!"

"Taoist?! You are... a Taoist?!"

Yang Yonggen's eyes lit up, "Is there still Taoist priests in our world? Mr. Wang, don't make fun of me!"

"Look at what you said, do I look like the kind of person who makes jokes casually?"

Wang Yue patted his chest and said solemnly.

"Uncle Gen, wait here for a moment."

After speaking, Bai Ran strode out.

Soon.

He is back.

I saw Bai Ran wearing the Taoist robe of the Celestial Master and holding the five emperors copper coin sword.

Just standing there, looking like that, is already majestic!

This time.

Yang Yonggen believed it.

"You are truly a Taoist!!"

Yang Yonggen grabbed Bai Ran's hand excitedly, "May I ask the master's name?"

"Just call me Bai Ran."

Bai Ran said calmly.

"Master Bai, hello, are you really willing to do me this favor?"

There were traces of tears in Yang Yonggen's cloudy eyes.

"Uncle Gen, since the matter has already happened, I will naturally not stand by and watch. Let's set off without delay."

Bai Ran said in a trembling voice.

"Good good!"

Yang Yonggen quickly agreed, turned around and went out, got on his bicycle and began to lead the way.

Meanwhile, Wang Jie and Bai Ran drove to Yangjiacun.

"Do you know how to get there?"

Bai Ran glanced at Wang Jie.

"Look at what you said, I know for sure. When his son died, I gave him incense paper money."

What Wang Jie said was calm.

"I have a hunch... this matter is definitely not simple."

Bai Ran squinted her eyes and opened her mouth slowly.

As soon as this word comes out.

Wang Jie became excited in an instant: "Brother Ran, don't worry, if something unexpected happens tonight, I will definitely protect you!"

"Come on."

Bai Ran gave him a blank look, "Just protect yourself."

"Depend on!"

Wang Jie quit immediately, "Brother Ran, you are really watching people through the cracks of the door - you underestimated me!"

"Don't you know how many catties you have?"

After Bai Ran finished speaking, she turned her head to the window and stopped talking.

on the road.

There are no pedestrians or vehicles.

Two white lights shone on the empty road, somewhat bleak.

Especially in the second half.

The road has turned into a gravel road with potholes, the kind that bumps and limps.
