Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin looked at each other, then silently took two steps to the side. Whether intentionally or not, Grandpa Gu's escape route was blocked, so that he wouldn't suddenly escape.
Grandpa Gu was an old and experienced man, and he had long seen through the thoughts of Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin.
He smiled bitterly and said, "You think I don't want to help you? It's just that there's something wrong with the fan. "
I asked patiently, "What's wrong?"
Grandpa Gu played with us time and time again, but I endured it and kept on communicating with him. It's not because I'm good-natured, it's because I'm not strong enough. If I was as powerful as the tomb master, I would have tortured Grandpa Gu and forced him to hand over the fan.
What problem? In front of absolute strength, even if there were problems, they had to be solved.
Grandpa Gu sighed and said to me, "You guys wanted to trade with me the first two times. But there was a little friction with me during the transaction. It makes me feel insecure. You youngsters are young, but you have a lot of foresight. I was afraid that I would accidentally fall into your trap. This fan was either stolen or tricked away. "Hmm …" It's also possible that they were robbed. "
I clenched my teeth and asked, "How is the fan?"
Grandpa Gu said, "Take a look for yourself."
He got out of the body, restored the ghost, and took off his jacket.
Grandpa Gu was emaciated and skinny, almost as if he was carrying a bag of bones. He didn't look that good. I said, "What do you want us to see? Appreciating your nakedness? "
Grandpa Gu said, "Keep watching."
He spread his feet in a horse stance, then clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth. Then I saw his chest grow wider and wider, until it finally became a monstrous proportion.
I felt scared when I saw it. Grandpa Gu's chest cavity was like an open fan. It stretched his skin and flesh very thin. I could even see the organs inside.
Xia Xin pointed at Grandpa Gu and said in shock, "You hid the fan inside your body?"
Grandpa Gu let out a sigh of relief and returned his body to its original state. He said, "Not hidden inside the body, but inside the body."
Puzzled, I asked, "What's the difference?"
Grandpa Gu said, "Do you still remember how this fan was made?"
I suddenly thought of the words I heard in the rainy market. I mysteriously said, "This fan is made from the ribs of an infant. The fan is covered with the skin of an infant …"
Grandpa Gu said, "Yes, yes. That's it. I'm afraid you'll steal my fan. So I took off one of my ribs and replaced it with a fan bone. I cut off another piece of my own flesh and replaced it with a fan. "
I was flabbergasted, but Grandpa Gu became more and more proud as he spoke. "This way, I will be the fan, and the fan will be me. If you want to steal the fan again, it won't be that easy. While I lie in the coffin, I can open the fan and confuse the Yin and Yang at any time. "
The few of us couldn't help but say, "ancient head, you're being really ruthless to yourself."
There's half of the sentence we haven't said yet. People who are ruthless to themselves will be even more ruthless to others.
Grandpa Gu spread his hands and made a troubled expression. "So, it seems like I can't trade the fan to you."
Xia Xin said, "Grandpa Gu, we agreed on the deal first, and now you're putting the fan on you. It seems like you broke the contract first, right?"
Grandpa Gu's expression was a bit ugly. "So, what do you want to do?"
Xia Xin said, "Why don't you follow us to the Hu Village and first rescue the ninth day of foster-grandpa? "How about it?"
Grandpa Gu said unhappily, "Should I go with you guys to the tomb master's place and return the fan?"
Xia Xin also unhappily said, "What else can we do? Originally, after the trade ended, this fan did not belong to you anymore. In the end, you acted on your own and merged your soul and fan into one.
Grandpa Gu was furious. "Earlier, you guys were setting up a formation and digging up corpses, and wanted to plot something against me. I'm old, but I'm not stupid. Do you guys want to trade? "
Seeing that they were about to argue, I hurriedly said, "Alright, alright. "Calm down and discuss how to solve the problem."
Xia Xin asked me, "How?"
I didn't say anything. This was a dead knot.
The fan couldn't be retrieved. It was impossible for Grandpa Gu to go to the tomb to see the tomb's owner, because that would be suicide. So I'm going to die in a month?
I sat down on a morgue bed, and I didn't care if there was a body lying on it. After all, I'm going to follow in their footsteps soon.
I said to Grandfather Gu, "How about this, you come with me to the Hu Village and rescue my foster-grandpa. In the aftermath, it's fine if you don't want to help. "
Grandpa Gu hesitantly said: "To be honest, I also don't want to go to Hu Village …"
"What?" I jumped down from the bed in anger, grabbed Grandpa Gu's neck and shouted, "You rotten old man, aren't you bullying me too much?"
Grandpa Gu is an evil ghost, an evil ghost that has been famous for a long time. At another time, I definitely wouldn't dare to grab his neck. But today, I was so desperate that I didn't care about anything else. As for Grandpa Gu, he seemed to be afraid of my strength. He actually had an apologetic smile on his face as he said, "Later on, we can talk things out. Everything can be discussed."
Mr. Zhao pulled me apart, then said to Grandfather Gu: "ancient head, you can't take all the advantages. You're not the only smart one in the world. My Eldest Nephew values friendship, and he's a real person. Don't bully him too much. If you don't go to Hu Village, my surnamed Zhao will not agree. "
Xia Xin replied faintly, "Me too." Not only did she say that, but with a flip of her palm, the shiny blade appeared in her hand.
Grandpa Gu sighed and said, "Okay okay, can't I go? However, I am not afraid of you all and was forced to go.
I nodded, sullen and silent.
After saving my foster-grandpa, I deserve to die. Grandpa Gu would never give in again.
At this time, Mr. Zhao said to Grandfather Gu: "Can you make a fake fan? As long as it was effective for a short period of time. Send the fake fan to the owner of the grave and tell him to let the ninth day go. When we saw that there was a problem with the fan, we ran away. "
My eyes lit up. I felt that this method was feasible, so I nervously looked at Grandpa Gu.
Grandpa Gu stayed silent for a while and then said, "Mhm …" If you use the bones of a dead baby to make a fan. If he used some tricks on them, he could get away with it. However, it can only last four hours. "
Mr. Zhao said to me: "You can be saved."
I nodded with a heavy heart. "That's right, there's hope. However, to take a fake fan to look for the owner of the grave is more like seeking death. "
Xia Xin said, "It's better to die than to seek death. "At least we have a chance at survival now."
I nodded. I suddenly wanted to believe in a religion. In that case, at least at a time like this, there was someone I could pray to.
Grandpa Gu held his hands behind his back and said to us, "Then it's a deal, when are you leaving? Come find me at the supply office. "
Just as he was about to leave the morgue, I shouted after him, "Wait! You're not going to run away, are you? "What will you do if you're not at the supply agency?"
ancient head turned around, his face flushed red as he said angrily, "Do I really have no credibility? If I say yes, then definitely. "
Mr. Zhao coldly said: "We were tricked by you. ancient head, you had better make another vow in front of the Heart Devouring Demon Box. "
Grandpa Gu said in grief: "What did my ancient head become? You have to swear every word to make anyone believe you? This time, I won't swear it. If you can't find me at the supply office, you can just give the Heart Devourer to the owner of the tomb. "
Then he left in a huff.
Only after ancient head walked far away did I react. "Where is the owner of the tomb?"
The three of us looked at each other. Xia Xin said, "It seems like only Grandpa Gu knows."
The Mr. Zhao said, "But we can't find the ancient head, so we don't know the location of the ancient tomb. If you do not know the location of the ancient tomb, you will not be able to hand over the Heart Devouring Demon Box to the owner of the tomb. "
I said dejectedly, "Why do I feel like I've been tricked again?"
While the three of us were analyzing Grandpa Gu's words, we suddenly heard another set of footsteps in the corridor. I asked, "Did the old man find out about it?"
I ran out, and a bright light fell on my face. Before I could react, I heard a crackling sound. Then, his body went numb.
I'm familiar with this sound. I recognize this feeling. It's an electric baton.
Then I fell down. Before I lost consciousness, I saw someone shooting, shooting in unison at Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin.
If a storm was brewing and the waves were surging over, would he have to capsize in a small ditch? Who was shooting at us? I couldn't figure it out, and then my vision went black and I couldn't see anything.
I felt like I'd been asleep for a long time, half an hour at most. Then I was awakened by cold water.
I looked over my shoulder and found myself sitting in a room with my hands and feet cuffed to a chair. I looked around me. Xia Xin and Mr. Zhao were there as well, and they were also handcuffed. It's just that these two people were dispirited and looked like they were still in a coma.
At least they're not dead.
The Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly at me. "We were hit by tranquilizer guns."
Then a policeman came in. It was only then that I realized this was the interrogation room.
An old man followed the police in. I squinted for a moment and saw that it was the old man who had been guarding the funeral home.
The old man pointed at us and said, "It's the three of them. "Moving bodies in the middle of the night, making a mess, and scaring me."
The policeman immediately said, "Well, the crime of insulting the body, burglary and theft, the crime of attempted murder."
I immediately argued, "We didn't insult the body. However, this was one thing. Raiding in the house, attempted murder, what the heck is this? "
The policeman said: "You sneak into the funeral home, either steal or rob, is there a need to say that? You scared the old people half to death, isn't this an attempted murder? "
I sighed. A small place like the Cypress City is far from being transparent. I was mentally prepared, but isn't this conviction a bit too casual?
Then the police sat down, took our statements, and let us go through the details.
The Mr. Zhao said, "We are being chased by a dead person in a tomb. "Fortunately, we have a fan that can confuse Yin and Yang, so we ran to the funeral home and turned the dead into living people and the living into dead people …"
The policeman listened patiently for a moment, then stunned him with an electric baton.
The policeman pointed at me. "Tell me."
I looked at Mr. Zhao who was lying on the ground: "The three of us are jobless and a little bored, so we wanted to train our courage. So we went to the funeral parlor to compete to carry the corpses on our backs. That's all. "
The policeman nodded in satisfaction, "That makes a lot more sense. Let me tell you, I have been a police officer for more than ten years. "Don't tell me you're making up stories about gods and ghosts. I'm a Party member, so I don't believe you."
I nodded.
The policeman asked me, "Do you have any other cases? I'll tell you, be honest and open, and be strict in your resistance. "
I shook my head vigorously. "It's really gone. We were just carrying around the corpses?" Uncle police, I think we should be punished by public security for a few days. "
The policeman rapped his hand on the table, as if he were weighing his options.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of sobbing outside, "Murder, murder, I want to report it!"
The policeman suddenly stood up, opened the door and shouted, "Where did you kill him?"
Another old man rushed in, "Fengxiang, Fengxiang killed someone. The couple in the canteen were killed by someone."
When I looked at the old man, I couldn't stop complaining. This was the old man who had knocked on the door in the middle of the night and was kicked by A Chang into the dog shit.
The old man continued, "They also wanted to kill me, but my life wasn't over yet and I was knocked out. As soon as I woke up, I came to report. "
After he said that, he suddenly turned around and saw me. He immediately pointed at me and said, "Hey? Hey hey? This is not... The police, the police, they're the killers. "
The policeman turned around with a murderous look in his eyes, "Didn't you say there were no cases? You're not being honest. "
Just as I was about to explain, I felt a numbness in my chest, and I was electrocuted.
