"I was wrong." Lian Ge put his head on Gu Xiaoying's hand, raised his hands, and looked like he was being slaughtered.
"Come on!"
Xiaoying frowned, and fiercely kissed Lian Ge on the mouth,
"No next time, do you hear me!"
"If you are like this, I will dare to do it next time." Lian Ge looked at the lovely person in front of him and said with a smile.
"Huh?" Gu Xiaoying frowned even more, and then looked even more cute,
"But don't worry, the risk has been taken before, and the next time, the same thing is no longer dangerous. According to the words of the following person, don't say that I am going to the gate of hell, I can use the sole of my shoe to call Hades face." Lian Ge retracted hand, holding Gu Xiaoying's catkin.
"That's it...then you should charge more next time." Gu Xiaoying pursed her lips and said.
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand and patted Gu Xiaoying's head.
"Okay, then listen to you, close it higher..."
……
In the main room, at the table, the two were playing around, getting tired, and after a long time, they became quiet again.
"...However, Lian Ge, I found that Xiaoyan's family is really grateful to you. Those eyes are like the eyes of a rescued patient looking at the doctor..."
"My classmate Xiaoying, your analogy is a bit dangerous. What if this rescued 'patient' needs to go to the doctor?"
"Don't make trouble, I'm serious."
"……Ok, I know."
"...However, if someone really 'documented', Lian Ge, you are not a doctor, where you rescued him, you can send it back."
Chapter 27 Mr. Falling to Death
It's the day, Lian's old house.
Tired and dawdling, the two of them spent more than an hour having dinner again, and finally got down to business again.
"Lian Ge, I just took three days off. Tomorrow, I might have to go back..." Gu Xiaoying snuggled into Lian Ge's arms and whispered,
"If you don't want me to go, I can call Lao Gu again and ask him to help me..."
"You don't need to ask for leave anymore." Lian Ge put his arms around Gu Xiaoying, smiled and said, "Go back to school first tomorrow, and wait for me to make some preliminary arrangements for ancestor worship. you."
"Okay then..." Gu Xiaoying pouted, and then continued, "Don't lie to me, this time if you evaporate from the world, I will... let you evaporate directly!"
Gu Xiaoying clenched her small fist and waved it in a very 'intimidating' way.
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't miss the appointment." Lian Ge hugged Gu Xiaoying tightly, with a smile on his face, and promised earnestly.
"Hmph..." Gu Xiaoying lay in Lian Ge's arms, hummed and chirped twice, and muttered in a low voice, "You said you wouldn't miss the appointment, you promised to marry me back then, didn't you say... Oh, men are liars."
Listening to what Gu Xiaoying was muttering, Lian Ge smiled and stroked her hair.
Just as he was about to say something more, there was a knock on the courtyard door of the old house.
"Boom boom... boom boom boom..."
Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying temporarily stopped chatting and looked at the courtyard door at the same time.
"It seems that the two of us can't be alone for a while today." After saying something to Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge stood up and went to open the courtyard door.
"crunch..."
The old courtyard door was opened by Lian Ge, and a middle-aged man in dark clothes came into Lian Ge's eyes.
Lian Ge took a slight look at the visitor, and paused slightly on a strand of red cloth tied to the zipper of his clothes.
"...Is it Master Lian?"
Before Lian Ge could speak, his face was a little pale, like a middle-aged man who hadn't rested for a long time, and he asked in a hoarse voice.
"If you're looking for Lian Ge, then it's me. If you're looking for my grandfather, I'm sorry, he has passed away for a while." Lian Ge stood at the door, and had no intention of letting this person into the house.
"Master Lian, I'm looking for you." After confirming Lian Ge's identity, the middle-aged man said with even more respect,
"Just call me Lian Ge, what's your surname? Do you need me?" Although he had already made some guesses, Lian Ge still asked aloud,
"Master Lian, I'm from Kaoshan Village in the next town. My name is Hu Xianshou. Master Lian, you can call me Lao Hu." Hu Xianshou said to Lian Ge with a hoarse voice,
"Last night, my old lady... went. I came here to ask Master Lian to help preside over the funeral and give the old lady a blessing."
Lian Ge was not surprised when he heard this.
Asking Mr. to preside over the funeral is a tradition and custom everywhere. When the old man was still there, such weddings and funerals were also his main business scope.
However, Lian Ge did not directly agree, but instead asked,
"Mr. Hu, I don't know how you know me? Besides, I remember that there seems to be an old gentleman in Xinhu Town next door, right?"
Logically speaking, if a person died last night, if you want to invite Mr., you should come overnight last night, instead of waiting until now, the next afternoon.
Hearing this, Hu Xianshou hesitated and replied,
"Master Lian, you have great supernatural powers, and you have the magic power to bring the dead back to life. It has been spread in several towns around you..."
After saying that, Hu Xianshou paused, then hesitated, and answered Lian Ge's second question,
"The gentleman in our town... I went to ask for it last night, but... died."
Intermittently, Hu Xianshou explained to Lian Ge.
Hearing this, Lian Ge frowned slightly, and asked, "Did he die in your house?"
"right……"
"How did you die?"
"He fell to his death," perhaps because he was worried that Lian Ge would not accept this matter, Hu Xianshou added nervously,
"The old gentleman is old. When he entered the door, he stumbled on the threshold, fell to the ground, and never got up again."
"Master Lian, it's really not... probably not my mother..." Hesitating, Hu Xianshou still didn't say those two words.
Hearing this, Lian Ge frowned even more.
This matter is really a bit weird, if it is a coincidence, it is really too coincidental.
The family member died, but a husband was invited, and the husband fell to his death as soon as he entered the door. No matter how you think about it, this matter is evil.
Gu Xiaoying, who had been by Lian Ge's side and was also listening, also sensed something was wrong, and shook Lian Ge's arm nervously.
Turning his head, Lian Ge shook his head at Gu Xiaoying, and then continued to ask Hu Xianshou:
"May I ask, how did your mother die?"
Hearing this, Hu Xianshou hesitated first and said:
"Get ill……"
Immediately afterwards, he retracted that sentence, took a deep breath, and replied:
"Master Lian, in fact, I don't know how my mother died. Before last night, my mother was in good health, and no serious illness was found. Even before last night, she still had Go to the town to dance square dances with other old ladies. Who would have thought that when I got up early this morning, no one would be there." Hu Xianshou said with reddened eyes,
"It was when I got up in the morning to go to work, and found that my mother didn't get up early as usual, and the lights in the room were on, and there was no movement, I realized something was wrong..."
Listening to Hu Xianshou's words, Lian Ge's brows did not relax in the slightest, instead they furrowed even more tightly.
"Except for the old man's matter, after your mother left, has anyone else had an accident in your house?"
"No, really not." Hu Xianshou replied decisively,
"I beg Master Lian to help me preside over my mother's funeral. If you are not willing to accept it, no one around here will dare to accept it."
Listening to Hu Xianshou's pleading, Lian Ge did not answer directly.
And at the same time, the system prompt sounded,
"Random task is triggered: save the Hu family, complete the burial.
According to the task, accept Hu Xianshou's entrustment, preside over Hu's funeral, and let him be buried in peace.
Task reward: a designated textbook for the primary qualification examination.
Do you want to accept this random quest? "
Looking at Hu Xianshou in front of him, listening to the random mission prompt sound in his ear,
Lian Ge did not answer Hu Xianshou, nor did he choose whether to accept the task on the system interface,
"Wait here a moment."
After saying a few words, Lian Ge dragged Gu Xiaoying back to the main room.
Asking Gu Xiaoying to wait in the main room, Lian Ge walked into the bedroom alone, and took out the yin-yang talisman that was placed here before.
Pulling out one of them, Lian Ge deftly lit it with a lighter, and at the same time shouted in a low voice:
"Decree from 1 generations of the Lian family, if this trip is dangerous, please burn this talisman!"
With that said, Lian Ge threw the talisman directly on the ground.
The moment the burning yin-yang talisman touched the ground, it exploded instantly, as if it had touched gunpowder, and the flame rose half a foot high.
But then, the sudden flame seemed to be suppressed directly from the air by something.
It only exploded for a moment, and as if being stepped on suddenly by an invisible person, the flame went out instantly.
Looking at the curled up ashes on the ground, although it was not burnt out, there was only a finger-wide talisman left, Lian Ge frowned slightly,
"What do you mean by that? No danger?"
Lian Ge picked up the remaining slip of talisman paper, and whispered something to himself.
Chapter 28 The most poisonous woman's heart
"I can take a look with you. If I think I can't solve it, I'm sorry, I will turn around and leave."
Back at the gate of the courtyard, Lian Ge said to Hu Xianshou.
"Okay, Master Lian, you go and see the situation first." Hu Xianshou nodded in response.
"Besides, I don't know if there is anything about my charges in the rumors you heard." Lian Ge looked at Hu Xianshou and continued,
"Let me put the ugly words to the front. If I am sure that I want to take over this matter, the fee will not be low. And since you have been suspected of concealing it before, it will add unpredictable risks to me, so the fee will be higher than normal. higher."
"I understand this, Master Lian, as long as you can let my mother be buried in the grave, everything else can be done according to your rules, Master Lian." Hu Xianshou said respectfully,
"That's fine, let's go and see the situation." Lian Ge glanced at Hu Xianshou, nodded and said.
"Master Lian, shall we go there now?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, then turned around, looked at Gu Xiaoying who had been by his side, and was about to open his mouth,
"I'll go with you." Before he could speak, Gu Xiaoying said first.
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Gu Xiaoying, then nodded,
"Yes, but as agreed before, if I let you go, you must go quickly."
"Don't worry, I'm not the heroine of a romantic drama. If I don't run when I should run, am I going to die for love or kill someone?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head and smiled slightly, then turned his head to look at Hu Xianshou,
"Mr. Hu, let's go."
"Master Lian, please..."
……
Soon, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying got into the car driven by Hu Xianshou together,
The door was closed, the car started, and began to drive around the winding mountain road towards Xinhu Town next door.
"...Mr. Hu, let me ask you some more questions now." Sitting in the back row with Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge glanced at the passing scene outside the window, turned his head and asked,
"Master Lian, please tell me." Hu Xianshou replied while holding the steering wheel tightly.
"Can you confirm the time of your mother's death?"
