Flash marriage to the underworld boss, the queen of metaphysics is sweet and wild
Chapter 290 Entering Gu Village
After staying on the island for three days and participating in the village's collective funeral, Wen Qi and Feng Ce planned to leave. Before leaving, they successfully visited the local Celestial Master Association.
Although the inspection along the road was just an excuse made by Wen Qi, but what he said was out loud, and he didn't mean it at all.
Just after coming out of L City, Wen Qi received a call from Liu Ran.
Liu Ran: "Are you still in L City? Do you have time to go to the mountains? Mingren took an order to exhume corpses in Baigu Village, just below L City. He set off from Yunhai five days ago. He started losing contact the day before yesterday. I a little worried."
Wen Qi's brows calmed down a bit, "I know, let's go there now." After a pause, she couldn't help but ask: "When did our office start the business of removing corpses?"
Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and was in the mood to joke. She said, "That's not it. I gave you a lot."
Wen Qi laughed, "Okay, don't worry, nothing will happen."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qi navigated to Baigu Village. The journey took more than three hours, which was not too far. But they were going into the mountains, and it was about to rain, so an RV was obviously not suitable.
Feng Ce drove back to the city first, parked the RV, and took his packed luggage to a car rental agency to rent an off-road vehicle.
When we set out on the road again, rain had already begun to fall in the sky. It was just after noon, but the sky was dark as if it were dark.
Wen Qi looked outside, her heart sank slightly, and she had a bad feeling, "Can it go faster?"
Feng Ce's eyes flashed, he stepped on the accelerator a little more, and a dark vortex of soul power condensed out of his eyes.
Wen Qi let out a breath and flipped through the commission information with her cell phone.
The client was a man named Bai Sheng, and the body that needed to be rushed back was his mother. When it was delivered, the body had been wrapped, and only a little bit of the human figure could be seen from the outside.
Bai Sheng said that according to the custom of their hometown, people who die in a foreign land cannot be seen by outsiders before returning to their hometown, otherwise the soul will not be able to return home.
Mingren did not open it for inspection out of respect, but he also used other means to confirm the authenticity of the body.
On the same day, Mingren set out with the corpse. Of course, he said he was driving away the corpse, but the real person carrying the corpse was the paper man. He drove there by himself and thought he would be back soon, but unexpectedly he lost contact immediately.
Liu Ran said that she had contacted Bai Sheng, but the latter could not explain the reason.
Bai Sheng has never gone back to his hometown since he went to college. Sending his mother back was also in compliance with her mother's last wish. Otherwise, according to his own wishes, he must be buried in the sea of clouds, which would also be convenient for him to worship during the New Year.
Wen Qi frowned. There was no problem in the information, so she could only wait until Baigu Village to read it.
The black clouds hung low, giving people a depressing feeling that the sky was about to fall. Wen Qi's heart became heavier and heavier as she looked at the scene where the mountains and black clouds met in the distance.
Feng Ce accelerated again without saying a word. The off-road vehicle ran on the mountain road as if it was about to take off. He didn't even slow down when turning. If the vehicle deviated, it would be pushed back to its original position by the soul power. He was not afraid of anything. Danger.
The more than four-hour journey from the city to Baigu Village was compressed into two and a half hours. The car drove in from the muddy village entrance. The whole village was dark without a trace of light, like a monster dormant in the mountains.
As soon as he entered the village, Wen Qi's golden soul power spread out and enveloped the entire village.
Baigu Village is neither big nor small. The total number of large and small houses is just over 100. There are people in every house, one or two at least, three or four at most, eating, sleeping, chatting, drinking tea... doing anything. Yes, at first glance it looks almost the same as an ordinary village.
But Wen Qi soon discovered an unusual place. There was a building in the center of the village, and her soul power could not penetrate it.
Feng Ce was also observing with his soul power, and naturally discovered that place, "It's the ancestral temple."
Wen Qi understood clearly, "The ancestors of Baigu Village are enshrined inside?" It was easy to tell without seeing through. As outsiders, of course they couldn't enter someone's home without even saying hello. This is a rule and has nothing to do with strength.
Of course, if you really have to rely on your strength to break in, it's not impossible. You can even lift the house, but why are you afraid that you can't open the door? It's not necessary.
Feng Ce drove slowly around the village. Not long after, someone wearing a raincoat came over and knocked on their car window.
The window was rolled down a little, and the wind and rain blew in through the gap. At the same time, a hoarse voice like frost came in: "Where are you from? What are you doing in our village?"
Feng Ceyan said concisely and concisely: "I went into the mountains to play. The weather is bad and I got lost. Can I stay overnight?"
The fellow's face was hidden in his large raincoat and hat, and only a section of his unshaven chin, chapped lips and yellowed teeth could be seen.
After Wen Qi looked around without leaving a trace, she unbuckled her seatbelt and lay down towards Feng Ce. She lowered her gaze with her body and looked up from below, and she happened to meet the fellow's black and white eyes. She paused slightly and showed a pitiful expression, "Uncle, the rain is too heavy and we can't leave now. Could you please take us in for one night? We can give you money!"
The fellow sighed helplessly, "Okay, you drive with me. There are not many parking places in our village. Park your car first, and then you can go home with me." After a pause, he asked, "Do you have any?" Do you have a raincoat?”
Wen Qi thanked him happily, "We have an umbrella!"
The fellow shook his head, "It's raining so hard, what's the use of an umbrella? I'll lend you two sets of raincoats later."
Wen Qi thanked him again.
The car window rolled up, Feng Ce drove slowly with the fellow villager, and asked in a low voice: "What did you find?"
Wen Qi covered her lips and whispered: "Looking at his beard, I thought he was forty or fifty years old, but when I looked at his eyes, he looked like a child, and the black and white were a bit fake."
"It's fake to the naked eye, but there is no problem when checking the soul power." Wen Qi took a breath, "Aren't all people in this village like this?"
Feng Ce whispered: "You'll know if you take a look."
The off-road vehicle stopped in a large courtyard. The fellow pointed to the house next to him, motioned for them to wait, and then entered the house. Two or three minutes later, he came out with two raincoats.
Wen Qi and Feng Ce put on their backpacks in the car, put on their raincoats, opened the door and got out of the car.
The fellow said loudly: "Come with me, I will find you a place to stay."
Wen Qi nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, uncle! Sorry to trouble you!"
The fellow waved his hand and motioned for them to follow him quickly.
After walking only a few dozen meters from the compound, the fellow led them into a small brick courtyard and knocked on the vermilion iron door.
The person who opened the door was an eldest sister who looked to be about forty years old. She had a rich appearance and smile lines at the corners of her eyes.
The three of them filed in. The fellow introduced the situation to the eldest sister, turned around and left without saying anything else.
The eldest sister entertained them warmly, "Take off your raincoat first. Are you wet? Why are you going into the mountains in such weather? The roads here are not repaired, and it becomes very slippery when it rains heavily. It's easy to get into trouble."
Wen Qi smiled and shook her head, "Our vacation is almost over, why don't we have more fun while we still have time? Who knew it would rain so hard. Does it usually rain so hard in your mountains?"
The eldest sister shook her head, "Only two or three times a year, you guys are just in time." She poured two cups of hot water and put them on the table, "Are you a couple?"
Wen Qi glanced at Feng Ce and nodded shyly, "Yes, we just got married."
"Let me tell you, handsome men and beautiful women are a perfect match at first glance!" The eldest sister said with a smile: "There happens to be an empty room in our house. You drink water first, and I will clean it up."
Wen Qi quickly stood up and said, "I'll clean it up with you."
The eldest sister quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I usually clean up. I just make a bed. It will be ready soon. Just rest." The eldest sister pressed Wen Qi back, turned around and left.
Wen Qi was stunned for two seconds and whispered: "Such strength."
Feng Ce also whispered: "The accent is wrong too."
Wen Qi suddenly realized that yes, this elder sister's accent was completely different from that of the uncle just now! She frowned, "But the eldest sister's eyes are normal. Maybe she was married from out of town."
Feng Ce: "There are only traces of one person's life in the family."
Wen Qi was also confused. Even if everyone in the family went out to work, there would be no traces at all.
The more I come into contact with this village, the weirder it becomes.
