"Haha..." The village guard closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "I wish I was crazy... What a pity, this village is crazy, but I am not."

Chu Yao handed the flowerpot over, and the village guard took it with both hands and put it with other flowerpots that had not yet been buried in the soil.

"It's time to talk about it. I've been holding these things in my heart for half my life..." He sat down and rolled another dry cigarette, as if only this spicy and spicy taste could suppress the bitterness in his heart.

"I can't even remember how many years ago that was. I've been pretending to be a fool and a lunatic for so many years, and my mind is really a little confused."

"It must have been when I was twenty-six years old. I took my wife and Wen Yin home to celebrate the New Year. I had been away from home before and hadn't been back to the village for a long time. It was because my parents were not in good health that I wanted to come back for a visit. ."

"At that time, I didn't know about their ceramics factory. I just heard that the village had a secret recipe that women could use to give birth to boys. I thought they just made some herbal medicine, but who would have thought..."

"They only harm their own children, but they also don't let go of other people's children. They say that if a girl is born in the village, it will not be able to maintain its reputation as an all-male village and will not be able to make money."

"I just went out for a while to deliver some New Year gifts to relatives. When I came back, I found that my wife and Wen Yin were missing. They also lied to me and said that they were not used to village life and ran home by themselves."

"How could I believe what they said? I know my wife too well. Her temperament is that of a city girl, but she also suffered hardships when she was a child. What's more, people in the village are richer and their conditions are much better. Except for not being able to take a bath, and... It’s no different in the city.”

"They kept it secret from me, so I pretended to believe it. At night, I secretly followed an acquaintance into the ceramics factory."

Having said this, the village guard had a dazed look on his face. Although twenty years had passed since the incident, when he thought of what he saw, he felt as if he had fallen into hell.

His lips were trembling, and his voice seemed to be forced out of his throat, "Wen Yin... my Wen Yin... they made her into something neither human nor ghost. Have you ever seen bones come alive?" Should she be taken out of the human body... I would rather she be killed first, that way there would be less pain..."

Chu Yao interrupted him and said, "You don't need to go into details, we understand what's going on."

He nodded and was silent for a while before speaking again: "My wife is gone too, and I didn't even see her body. From that day on, I was no longer me. They wouldn't let me leave the village normally." , either assimilate into the same beasts as them, or... I am like this now, crazy and stupid."

"While I was waiting for them all to gather in the village, I took advantage of the opportunity to scavenge to steal flower pots from the ceramic factory. I have been waiting for more than 20 years. Fortunately, I have these children with me, so my life is not difficult. .No one remembers the names of these children, I only remember them."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the village guard's lips, "I acted quite well, right? Before you guys came here, no one had ever noticed that I was a normal person."

"With so many people in your village, no one came out to resist?" Ling Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Resist? Haha, if there are only lotus flowers in the pond, you can still get out of the mud without getting stained. But the pond is full of smelly fish and rotten shrimps. Who will allow the lotus flowers to grow intact?" The village guard said with a smile, "And they are poor. Ah, I’m afraid of being poor, and once I live a good life, no one will want to go back.”

He took a deep look at Ling Feng and Chu Yao and said, "You are too young to understand. You feel a little guilty when you do this for the first time, but later you will feel that there is no difference between killing people and killing pigs. No. , it’s even easier to kill someone.”

"You have been staying in the village because you want to avenge your wife and daughter?" Ling Feng was moved in his heart and asked, "Does the flood in Xiangyong Village have anything to do with you?"

Although floods are natural disasters, it is possible that the river dam in Xiangyong Village itself can withstand floods but has been tampered with.

"Is this important?" the village guard asked cheerfully.

He suddenly slapped his forehead and said with enlightenment: "By the way, you two are the police, are you here specifically to investigate the flood? Then you can take me away. I have nothing to worry about now. It doesn't matter if I die. That’s fine!”

"Unfortunately, we are not policemen...at least I am not." Chu Yao said with a smile, "You can call us Feng Shui masters. We are here to investigate the innocent souls of baby girls."

"The innocent souls..." The village guard was a little confused, "How do you know their innocent souls? I could tell as soon as I met you. You must be outsiders, and you speak with an imperial accent."

He pointed at Ling Feng, and Ling Feng did not deny it.

"Well, you don't have to worry about it." Chu Yao said in a pretense of distress, "Originally, there was something that needed you to do, but seeing that you are desperate to die, we'd better find someone else, the data center just down the mountain. It feels good to be the team leader.”

"What's the matter?" the village guard asked without hesitation. What else could a person like him do?

"You also know that the job of a Feng Shui master is nothing more than to catch ghosts, exorcise evil spirits, and save the ghosts, right?" Chu Yao said leisurely, "But there are too many ghosts in Xiangyong Village. Now the people in the underworld, oh no, ghosts are all here." It’s full.”

Ling Feng glanced at her in confusion, had they ever said they were coming to save the souls of the dead?

Chu Yao gave him a "don't interrupt me" look and said: "I think it's better to purify the evil spirits of the innocent souls and send them to reincarnate collectively. But these are lonely ghosts after all, they must be You can't be reincarnated into a wealthy family, most likely they will be orphans. I originally thought about asking you to help take care of them, but..."

She paused deliberately, and the village guard was startled at first, and then a little unbelievable.

Does Chu Yao mean to let himself take care of the orphans who have been reincarnated?

This may be troublesome to others, but to the villagers, it is a huge surprise.

During the decades he spent pretending to be crazy, these flowerpots were his only companions.

He often thought that it would be great if those baby girls could be reincarnated as humans after their death and have a family that loved and cared for them.

But now, this opportunity is right in front of us, not to mention that the baby girl's wronged soul still has Wen Yin.

In fact, the method proposed by Chu Yao was not for the sake of the villagers, but mainly because it could easily deal with hundreds of innocent souls, and it would not affect the reincarnation order of the underworld, and it could also reduce the burden on the underworld.

She said that these were not whims, but that Wu Chang, who was familiar with her, often complained that there were too many innocent souls accumulated in the underworld before, and everyone wanted a good life experience, but as a result, a large number of orphans were left.

If there are ghosts who are willing to be reincarnated as orphans, the underworld can give them some rewards, or, like baby girls, who were originally unable to be reincarnated, they can also enter the path of reincarnation in the next life.
