Chapter 57 Tattoos

At the end of the day, everyone felt that things were handled well.

It really is a sacrifice of Lu Yingjiu, which has helped thousands of people.

The villagers found a candidate and dispersed happily; Yao Gou thought that he didn't have to go to battle by himself, so he happily arranged the ceremony; Jing Xian... Jing Xian was also very happy, he took Lu Yingjiu and went straight to Yao Gou Introduced homestay.

When we arrived at the B&B, the boss heard the two masters, and immediately waived their fees and said that he would give them the best room.

The two went up to the second floor.

Although the room is not big, the environment is good. It is very clean and tidy. As soon as Lu Yingjiu opens the curtains, he can see the green trees outside the window.

Just now, Lu Yingjiu randomly grabbed someone from the crowd to inquire about the situation.

People from the Chu family have been here many times before.

After all, the dream of the Peacock God is broken here, no matter how you think about it, there is something strange. As the contractors of the peacock, of course they have to study it.

But at that time, the village was calm, let alone the ghosts, even the little ghosts didn't see a shadow. The Chu family has been wandering in the village for too long, and they were once regarded by the villagers as criminals fleeing from other places. The investigation failed and they had to give up.

In the past few years, a female ghost has suddenly appeared here.

And it's a ghost from decades ago.

Although he didn't know if there was any connection between the two, Lu Yingjiu still told Chu Banyang the situation.

Chu Banyang said that he knew, and discussed it with the Chu family and asked them to come over.

[Actually, I'm not in a hurry,] Lu Yingjiu said, [Aren't you guys short of staff? With me here, nothing can happen here]

The Chu family are all busy people.

Of course, many have stopped being ghost exorcists, and concentrated on doing business and getting rich.

Chu Banyang said: [I still have to have someone come over, I will try my best to make time for myself]

Lu Yingjiu replied: [Okay, I'll take a look at the situation first]

Putting down the phone, he originally wanted to ask Yao Gou about the situation.

As a result, as soon as Yao Gou arrived at the homestay, he lost his bag, and he didn't know which villager he went to chat with. No one could find him, and he didn't reply to the news. He might have been fooled by several 50 yuan.

Lu Yingjiu went downstairs directly, thinking of finding someone to ask about the situation.

As soon as he and Jingxian went downstairs, they smelled a scent of tea.

When they looked over, it turned out that the owner of the homestay was making tea.

The boss is very leisurely and has a solid wood tea table in the hall. The table and stools are bright reddish brown, and a pot of boiling water is boiling all the year round. He greets guests when he has something to do. He makes tea when he has nothing to do, and takes a nap while drinking.

Seeing the two go downstairs, he greeted again, "Oh, two masters! Would you like to come over and have a cup of tea!"

Jingxian whispered to Lu Yingjiu, "The tea he brewed is definitely not as good as mine. If you want to drink it, I will make it for you when you return to your room."

"Isn't this just chatting with someone else," Lu Yingjiu gave him a helpless look, "It's always good to inquire about the news. How can you even compare this."

"I'm not getting married soon, do you want to show a good performance in front of you?" Jing Xian said as a matter of course, "I'm still looking forward to the wedding night."

Lu Yingjiu glared at him: "I know you're thinking about this kind of thing."

Respectfully laugh.

The two went over and sat opposite the boss.

The boss poured two cups of Dahongpao for the two of them, and said, "The two masters came to our village thousands of miles away, and it is not easy for me to act as a junior in front of you. Let's not talk about backup, just call me Xiaotan. ."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

The boss looked forty or fifty years old, his face was a bit old, and there were wrinkles on his face, and they all huddled together with a smile.

At least two or three rounds older than him.

In short, he really couldn't say "Xiao Tan".

He changed his name to a more eclectic name: "Hello, Boss Tan, I want to ask about the specific situation of the ghost."

"Oh this," Boss Tan sat up straight and wiped the water droplets on his hands with a towel, "You have all seen that news report, that is, how did she come to our village."

"Probably know." Lu Yingjiu replied, "But you can talk about it."

"Okay, then I'll make a long story short." Boss Tan said, "It's that family who wanted their son to keep a seed and bought a woman back - that family's son's name is Yan Hao, and the woman's name is..."

He stopped, looked around suspiciously, and lowered his voice: "Master, if I say her name like this, I won't get revenge, right? People in our village don't dare to say it."

"It's alright." Lu Yingjiu said, "If you're worried, you can take the paper money and write it down."

Boss Tan hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to say it.

He finally took a pen and paper and scribbled a line: [He Wanbai].

He pointed, "That's the name."

After reading it for Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian, he suddenly crossed out the name with a black pen, crumpled the paper, and threw it into the trash can.

It seemed really scared.

Then Boss Tan cleared his throat and said, "Then let me continue, this, this Miss He, the law was not perfect at that time, and the atmosphere in the village was really bad, she wanted to escape but couldn't escape, and finally jumped Well. After a few days, the whole family died."

"At that time, I was working in a foreign country, and I didn't know the specific situation. It was told to me by a friend later."

"After that family died, the village was very frightened. Several people said that they could hear women's cries in the middle of the night. They thought, they can't live like this, so they went out to hire a famous ghost exorcist. Come."

Lu Yingjiu took a sip of tea.

The faint aroma of Dahongpao blooms on the tip of the tongue, and the warm taste makes people feel relaxed.

He asked casually, "Do you know who you hired?"

"I don't know." Boss Tan frowned.

This made the wrinkles on his face more obvious, as if they were crowded into a ball. After a long time, he said, "It seems to be a Chu family. I have heard that the Chu family is quite famous."

"It's quite famous." Lu Yingjiu replied.

He thought to himself, if it really belonged to the Chu family, maybe someone could be found now.

Boss Tan also said that after the ghost exorcist surnamed Chu came, he stayed in their village for a year or two before leaving. His clothes looked expensive. The economic situation in the village is out of tune.

Foreigners were very unwelcome at the time. Of course, the gangsters in the village did not dare to rob him rashly, or steal things from his house, for fear of being retaliated by the "wrong ways" of the ghost exorcist.

No one knew what he was doing here, but they saw him running back to the mountain all day, often going there for two or three days before returning.

However, after the ghost exorcist surnamed Chu came, the female ghost really disappeared.

The villagers thought that the female ghost had been eliminated long ago.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, she appeared again.

Lu Yingjiu asked again, "What did the ghost do recently?"

"Damn," Boss Tan sighed, "she didn't really kill anyone, she just looked for people everywhere and tattooed them on their bodies."

Lu Yingjiu: "Huh?"

"It's a tattoo in the literal sense," said Boss Tan. "I heard that she worked in a tattoo parlor before she was abducted and sold, and she was considered a veteran..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was an exclamation from outside the door.

One person shouted: "Something happened, something happened!!"

Another person shouted: "Where are those masters?! Call them here!"

Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian looked at each other, both put down their teacups and went out to see the situation.

I saw that people heard the cries for help, and they were all running to a nearby house, and now the door was surrounded by a circle of people.

The crowd was crowded, and Lu Yingjiu vaguely saw Yao Gou's plump body.

The two of them went over.

The door of that house was wide open, and Yao Gou had already squeezed in first. There were a lot of people, and Jing Xian walked in front of Lu Yingjiu, pushed the crowd away with ease, and took Lu Yingjiu in with one hand.

Lu Yingjiu was led by him, and went in without any effort, thinking that Jingxian was willing to go to the supermarket, it must be a nightmare for supermarket aunts.

When entered the house, smelled a bloody smell.

One person was sitting under the bed in the bedroom, leaning against the wall, his face pale.

His upper body was naked, and the pain was so painful that his facial features were twisted together, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, which was slowly spreading.

Blood was flowing from his right arm.

Yao Gou had already greeted someone and took a few thin towels and wrapped them around his right arm, and then patted the talisman paper on top of the towel across the towel.

The talisman has the effect of cooling and stopping bleeding.

Even so, the effect was far from enough, blood kept pouring out of the wound, and the towel was red.

Yao Gou was so anxious that his face was sweating, and he quickly pressed the talisman paper on his head again. The people next to her were also anxiously calling to see if they could be taken to the hospital.

Lu Yingjiu squatted down beside him, suppressed Yao Gou's hand that took out the talisman paper, and said, "Let me take a look."

"Oh, okay, okay." Yao Gou replied hastily, "Look at you."

Lu Yingjiu gently lifted off a towel.

His movements were gentle, but the towel still took down a piece of rotten skin, and the man took a deep breath.

The target is the red and swollen skin, and the hideous blue-black above.

That blue-black color was like ink, it seemed to form a corner of the pattern, like... a tattoo.

Lu Yingjiu then lifted off the towels one by one.

So, the whole red and swollen arm appeared in front of him.

On the skin, blue and black lines spread wantonly, like some kind of vicious vines, from the shoulders to the wrists, drawing a living dragon.

The dragon head turned towards his neck and head, his eyes widened with anger, his mouth wide open, as if he would pounce on him in the next second and bite his neck.

This tattoo is full of ominous meaning. And unlike normal tattoos, the wound seemed to be cut directly with a knife. The lines were so fine and fine, the skin was open and the flesh was ripped open, no wonder he hurt like that.

Lu Yingjiu's expression darkened slightly, and she took out a piece of talisman paper and gently taped it on the man's shoulder.

The effect is immediate.

The feeling of Liang Sisi began to spread from the talisman paper, covering the entire right arm, and the pain suddenly lightened.

The blood was originally gushing out, but now it has become slowly oozing out.

The man's face suddenly improved a lot, and he was breathing heavily.

Lu Yingjiu looked back and asked, "Is there a car to take to the hospital?"

"Yes, yes." One person nodded again and again, "I've already called, the car is coming."

Lu Yingjiu looked at the man and asked, "Can you retell what happened?"

The man took a few breaths again, took the water that Yao Gou handed over, and drank half a glass before he managed to recover, and said, "I, I was taking a nap, but when I fell asleep, I felt my arm It hurts like a knife."

He shivered: "I really want to wake up, but my body is so heavy that I can't open my eyelids!"

Lu Yingjiu thought to himself, it sounds like he was haunted by a ghost, and then the ghost pressed the bed.

"As a result, the knife kept shaving on me!" The man's face turned even paler, "I don't know how long it took, at least an hour or two, it slashed the meat with a knife! The meat will be given soon. It's cut! It's horrible, I'd rather die than experience it again!"

His excitement caused the blood to seep out again at an accelerated rate, flowing down in a series.

Lu Yingjiu held him down lightly with one hand and said, "Calm down first, it's alright, she wouldn't dare to come over if we were there."

His tone was calm, which really made the man a little calmer.

Just recalling the terrifying feeling of being stabbed by a knife, the man couldn't help trembling. Until now, he didn't dare to look at his bloody right arm, for fear that he would faint.

Lu Yingjiu asked again: "Do you have any contact with her? Or, have you gotten into something unclean these days, often walking at night or looking in the mirror in the middle of the night. It's all possible."

Hearing this, a subtle look appeared on the man's face.

But the next second, he shouted again: "Absolutely not! There are so many people, why is it me?! Several masters, you must think of a way, if this continues, the entire village will be in danger!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the people around him changed.

"you are lying."

When such a sound came, the man subconsciously retorted: "How could I..."

When he looked up, he happened to meet Jingxian's eyes.

Jing Xian was watching the excitement, and he said something casually, every word was casual, but it made people feel like he was stating the truth.

The man wanted to say a few more words, but when he and Jingxian looked at each other, he felt a chill in his heart, as if there was a sharp knife hanging there, he suddenly fell silent, his mouth shut tightly.

Yao Gou next to him clapped his hands and said, "Hey! I have an impression when I talk about this, and I will say how you look familiar! Did your face appear in the reports back then!"

The man flinched.

Yao Gou said more and more vigorously: "This master is so serious in his work, and he has read all the information! You are so familiar with the murdered family - isn't their son Yan Hao, you are Yan Hao's good brother? I remember that the report also said that you gave them the idea in the beginning, and told them to buy a daughter-in-law!"

The people next to him began to whisper again.

"Is there such a thing?"

"It seems there is. I remember my brother said that he does have a good relationship with Yan Hao."

"Ah, it turned out to be his idea, no wonder it's being retaliated against now..."

The man's face turned even paler.

After a long while, he struggled to say: "She is threatening the whole village now! How can a ghost be sensible! She's crazy!"

Lu Yingjiu said: "You have made an academic mistake. In fact, many ghosts are rational, and there are not a few who choose people for revenge..."

The man was so choked by him that he suddenly became hoarse, his mouth opened and closed, like a fish that had been stabbed to the point, and finally he didn't say a word.

There was a screeching sound of an ambulance outside the house, and he heard it, and it seemed like he had caught a life-saving straw: "Hurry up! Let me get in the car! Damn I don't stay in this village anymore! It's really bad luck! Oh, how many of you? One, since you got the money, get rid of the ghosts quickly! Don't talk about so many things!"

After speaking, he stood up cursing himself: "You all be careful! She might come to your house tonight!"

No one came to help him, he was a little embarrassed, and walked outside by himself against the wall.

...

After Yao Gou's inquiries, Lu Yingjiu found out that the previous victim who was forcibly tattooed was a neighbor of Yan Hao's family.

Similar to the man's situation just now, the neighbor was a tiger whose back was cut by a knife and went down the mountain. The pain was so severe that he went to the hospital and had been lying on his back for several days.

Looking deeper, it turned out that when He Wanbai tried to escape, he was seen by the neighbor.Neighbors told Yan Hao that He Wanbai didn't make it and was arrested again.

When the question was almost over, the three of them went back to the homestay.

After Boss Tan poured tea for the three of them, he answered the phone and went to work.

Lu Yingjiu sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "It seems that she is just taking revenge in a targeted manner. And the attack is not heavy, not killing, mainly torture."

"That is to say," Yao Gou thought for a while, "she is a good ghost, we can leave it alone, just take the money and leave."

Lu Yingjiu smiled and said, "That's not what I said. One is that after her revenge on the enemy, she may change the target and hurt other villagers. We can't risk the safety of other people; the other is that the ghost's home is not here, We still have to send her to the ghost world."

Jingxian also said, "No, I can't leave her alone."

Lu Yingjiu was a little surprised.

Most of the time, when he was solving supernatural cases, Jingxian was paddling beside him.

Just like just now, he was focusing on the victim's arm, and Jingxian was focusing on him, and the division of labor was clear - anyway, for Jingxian, these ghosts are not enough to see, if Lu Yingjiu didn't let him shoot casually, he would I had already leveled the mountain, and then continued to spend our honeymoon with Lu Yingjiu.

So it was the first time he heard that Jingxian expressed his opinion so firmly on the case.

Could it be that there is something special about this case?

Lu Yingjiu was secretly guessing when she heard Jingxian continue to say, "How can you leave her alone? There is still a wedding to be done. The wedding can never be cancelled, it's all agreed upon."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Jingxian is still Jingxian.

"Oh. What the two masters said makes sense. Yao is very impressed and has been taught." Yao Gou thought about it again, "So, you have to do what you said, or you have to do it. That wedding! Lead her out!"

He scratched his head and said, "Oh, I just went to the back mountain for a walk and found the Xitang. Everything is ready, I just owe Dongfeng, just wait for the two of you to pack up, and then get married!"

"How can there be a happy hall in Houshan?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

"Ah, it's a long story, come and see me directly, you'll know when you see it." Yao Gou drank the tea and stood up, "Come, come, let's go now!"

Yao Gou is full of energy.

It may be that the villagers gave too much money, and he could not refuse at all, and he embodied the word "seeing money and opening his eyes" incisively and vividly.

He hummed a song along the way, and took Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian to the back mountain.

Yao Gou was very happy.

Jingxian is also very happy.

Although Jingxian had no expressions all the way, Lu Yingjiu had been able to accurately judge Jingxian's mood from the expressionless handsome face.

... What's more, Jing Xian didn't know what he was thinking. Once he and Lu Yingjiu looked at each other, he didn't know how to laugh.

Lu Yingjiu said to him, "Is it really that happy? It's not that I have never been married..."

"What's the matter," Jingxian immediately retorted, "I didn't even appear last time, and a ghostly shadow came out and reluctantly bowed to you, but you haven't seen it yet."

Lu Yingjiu really didn't see it at the time.

But both the goddess and the emcee saw it - that's why they were frightened by Jingxian into that state.

Lu Yingjiu said, "You said that you slept for more than ten years before."

"Yes," Jingxian said, "due to some... force majeure."

"Force majeure?" Lu Yingjiu thought for a while, "Are you injured?"

According to his knowledge of ghosts, generally long sleeps are caused by injuries. When people are sick and injured, they need to rest in bed, and ghosts also need to recuperate.

"Small things, small things," Jing Xian obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, and passed over vaguely, "In short, I slept for a while, and then woke up at the wedding."

Lu Yingjiu felt amused: "How did you wake up halfway through your sleep, and how did you know that I was married?"

"It's called heart-to-heart meeting," Jing Xian said. "In case that master invites you a ghost and you marry her, I won't die of anger. So I fell asleep and suddenly felt uncomfortable. ——It’s just the kind of unhappy that my wife is going to be taken away, and then I wake up with anger.”

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

The reason he never imagined.

Jingxian sat up startled from his deep sleep, but he was awakened by anger. It was because he wanted to marry him, and his spirit was commendable.

Jingxian continued: "After being awakened by anger, I will come to you. Unfortunately, I can only separate a ray of remnant soul into the world, and worship you, and the remnant soul will dissipate."

He looked at the whole village again: "Although this is a fake wedding, I can make up for it first. When there is time, I will definitely make up for a luxurious wedding for you - ah, you say, where will we make up for after the wedding? , in the realm of the world or in the ghost world. How about we do it all? Invite all the people and ghosts we know, the more lively the better."

Lu Yingjiu said: "There may be some hope in the world. In the ghost world, you can only wait for me to enter the earth..."

"Okay, then you have a wedding before and after your death," Jing Xian said happily, "I'll wait for you to die."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

It sounds weird no matter how you hear it.

However, he thought about what Jing Xian said, and it was even more strange.

At that time, Jingxian could only separate a ray of wandering soul to the world, and it only lasted for a few seconds.

Presumably Jing Xian's injury was very serious.

Lu Yingjiu thought that if there was a chance, he would have to ask him about the specific situation. What a terrible thing to be able to hurt Jingxian like that.

He turned his head.

Just fine, and Jingxian looked at each other again.

Jing Xian raised the corners of his mouth.

In the eyes of others, this smile is simply evil and maddening, full of the charm of the boss, and it can be on the cover of a magazine with just one shot, but Lu Yingjiu doesn't think it's right.

He asked, "Why do you laugh like this?"

Jingxian replied, "I'm wondering if we'll have a chance to bridal party this time. I have a lot of things I want to show you, the kind that can be shown slowly overnight..."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Lu Yingjiu said, "You really can't spit out ivory."

Jingxian said, "Although I think you are scolding my dog, as long as you kiss me, I don't care."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Jingxian actually reacted! To be careless, it seems that Jingxian is seriously learning the common sayings of the world.

Jingxian continued to propose: "What do you think, is this deal very profitable?"

"Okay," Lu Yingjiu perfunctoryly said to him, "I will kiss you in person after a while. Take your hand off my waist first."
