Chapter 159
"From the fact that the princes and generals of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Ning, have kindness, to eating his mother and wearing his mother's clothing, and not paying the king's food, and then to the local tyrants to divide the land. There must be some benefits for people to work. If there is no benefit, who will do it? Ah." What he said was very reasonable, even Lin Fei had to admit its correctness.
"This, I really don't know now."
"If you don't know, just ask, I'll wait."
Ye Bo and Lin Fei looked at each other, and the corners of Ye Bo's mouth twitched: "Commissioner Lin, look..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a political commissar." Lin Fei seemed to stay out of the matter.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Bo was finally willing to tell the truth: "The place where we are now has a complicated relationship, so we have cut off all radio communication with the superior. I don't know if we can..."
Yue Youran looked at him, and suddenly laughed: "You never thought about agreeing casually first?"
"How could I lie to you." Ye Bo said it righteously, as if he was an honest and good person who had never lied to anyone.
Yue Youran, who had already seen through everything, sneered with disdain: "Tsk, it's really exciting to hear."
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two seemed to become very tense, Lin Xue hurriedly smoothed things over: "Youran, anyway, I have already paid one hundred thousand, can you help us this time?"
"One hundred thousand? That's what happened in Nepal, right? The matter of the Buddha bone relic is over, and the work of one hundred thousand is also over. How come there is still one hundred thousand? Don't you know that the currency is depreciating so fast now?"
Seeing that she didn't like oil and salt, and the faces of the four of them were not good-looking, Lin Xue sneered: "I just want to know why you love money so much?"
Anyway, he was born in the new society and grew up under the red flag. No matter how he sees money, his eyes shine, as if he has just crawled out of the old society where he has been starving for many days.It is really hard to imagine that a family like her would raise such a daughter. I really don't know what went wrong.
Yue Youran responded frankly: "Everyone has the love of beauty."
What does this have to do with it? Lin Xue asked: "So?"
"Don't you think the pink paper is cute? Grandpa Mao is smiling, very amiable? The light of gold and the brilliance of diamonds are like the setting sun and the sky full of stars..."
"So, you made up your mind not to help?"
"No, either give me a civil servant salary, or give me money." Yue Youran had a hideous look on his face.
Xiao Yuer wanted to say something, but Ye Bo had already stood up: "Since this is the case, we will not bother Miss Yue. From now on, we will go our separate ways. The Holy Spirit of Relic has temporarily sealed the evil spirits on your body." Spiritual evil spirit, as long as you don't play with anything that summons spirits, no one will come to trouble you again."
After finishing speaking, he said to the three of them, "Let's go."
"Wait." Yue Youran also stood up, staring at Ye Bo, who was waiting for her to speak.
"Don't forget to pay the bill." Yue Youran pointed to the dishes on the table.
The three of them got married, but Yue Youran had already left.
"Did she tell the truth just now?" Lin Xue's timid voice broke the awkward and dull atmosphere.Based on her experience of getting along with Yue Youran for so long, Yue Youran is really not the kind of bastard who is open to money, but this person who always talks about money and money really makes people angry. What is she thinking? , is this her sincere words?
No one knows that although Lin Xue can be regarded as someone who has walked side by side with Yue Youran, she still doesn't understand what Yue Youran is thinking.
October is the end of the rainy season in the Golden Triangle area, and the air is still humid and hot.The closer you get to the border, the more you can clearly feel the crowd. Even the women who set up street stalls looked at strangers with vigilance, and looked at Yue Youran walking on the road in twos and threes, whispering softly.
I can't understand what they are saying at all, but it seems that there should be no too much malice.
Yue Youran walked on the road, like a real tourist, looking east and west, and casually bought a meal wrapped in banana leaves on the side of the road. The banana leaves that have been placed for several days are much cuter.
Opening the banana leaf, the aroma of freshly cooked white rice lingered in the tip of her nose. After Yue Youran opened it, she took a deep breath, but only chewed a couple of mouthfuls, then wrapped the white rice carefully.
As soon as it was wrapped, I heard a blunt Chinese sentence in my ear:
"Little girl, are you Chinese?"
It turned out that he was the one who followed her just now, Yue Youran turned her head and saw a man dressed as a local smiling at her.She nodded: "You speak Chinese really well."
The man walked towards her: "My grandfather is Chinese, why did you come here alone? I haven't seen any foreign tourists here yet."
Ha ha... I think your level of approach is very slippery, no worse than those who sell tourist souvenirs in tourist areas.
Yue Youran took a step back, keeping a distance from that person, and said with a smile: "Just walk around, there are too many people in the tourist area, it's very boring."
"Be careful here." The man reminded me kindly.
"Well, I see that many people here are armed with guns." Yue Youran felt that his reminder was worthless, and she was not blind. Here, the primordial law is almost visible to the naked eye. Cold weapons and hot weapons are everywhere. .
"Hehe, the gun is the least lethal, and what you can see is nothing. Be careful..." He suddenly approached Yue Youran's ear, "Witchcraft."
Yue Youran was startled by his sudden approach and immediately took five steps back: "Haha, witchcraft is too unscientific. It must be drugging or psychological effects."
"Hehe, young man... If anything happens, just come to me, I live at the other end of the village." The man smiled strangely, shook his head and left.Yue Youran silently watched his leaving back, thinking that this person must be sick, there are many other people in the village, who knows who you are.
It was getting late, and there were almost no people on the street. Only then did Yue Youran realize that he had walked to the edge of the town, and there were graves in front of him, and each tombstone was facing north.A glance at the tombstone reveals that it is full of Chinese characters. It seems that this is the burial place of the Chinese.
I don't know what happened here back then, maybe it was left over from the end-of-the-century war decades ago, or maybe it was a refugee.
"What are you doing here?" Yue Youran turned her head, and a little girl behind her was sizing her up.
"It's nothing, I just walked here accidentally, hey, are all the people here Chinese?"
The little girl shook her head: "Most people are, but not everyone is, and I am not."
"Oh, then you speak Chinese really well."
Hearing Yue Youran's praise, the little girl was very happy: "Well, brother Su Peng taught me. It's getting dark, don't stay here anymore, here... um... there is a soul."
"Thank you, what's your name?"
"My name is Namu."
The night is getting darker, and there are no street lights on the street. Only the lights from the windows of the roadside houses are projected on the dilapidated and bumpy paths.Yue Youran walked very slowly, and the water from puddles on the ground inevitably splashed onto her feet.
At a small intersection, she checked the time, it was exactly zero o'clock, the time when the two days converged.She took out rice wrapped in banana leaves from her pocket, put it in the middle of the crossroads, circled the rice three times to the left and three times to the right, and muttered: "The heaven and the earth each have their own time, and the hungry ghost burns with flames."
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. She sighed secretly, thinking that this is a foreign country after all, maybe hungry ghosts can't understand Chinese.She picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number in the address book: "No, can you know the Thai version, and Burmese? If you can't, then Laotian? ... Neither? Well, why do you Do you think the ghosts here can understand Chinese, but they can’t understand it when they’re alive, but they can understand it when they’re dead?”
I was discussing with the other end of the phone, and suddenly I couldn't hear the sound clearly. The mobile phone signal is full, but it makes a harsh noise that the radio makes when there is no signal, and the noise is getting stronger...
"Here we come..." She put her phone away, and stared intently at the glutinous rice in the middle of the road, which seemed to be a white paper lit by flames, and slowly turned into a black rotten thing.
She took out a bunch of keys, and there was a crystal clear bottle hanging on the key ring. She took off the bottle and uncorked it, and muttered to the middle of the intersection. The glass bottle was filled with red mist, the red mist As if there was life to rush out of the bottle, Yue Youran quickly put the cork back on, and pasted a yellow seal written in cinnabar, the red mist had to swirl in the bottle, unable to rush out.
"Father, what kind of hobby is collecting monsters and ghosts from all over the world?" Yue Youran pouted, put the glass bottle back on the key ring, and put it in his pocket.
This matter is over, and the next task will continue. This is the reason why she deliberately took Ye Bo and others away.
"Looking for ghosts in the middle of the night, oh..."
In the Golden Triangle area, local conflicts often occur. Various private armed forces will appear here, whether they are treasure hunting, drug trafficking, or mercenaries. More than 40 years ago, Yue Qinglan once came here. At that time, it was more primitive and backward than it is now. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, many stragglers who withdrew from the mainland settled here. In order to make a living, they began to plant poppies here. When they went to Yue Qinglan , has become a scale.
Yue Youran has always felt that his own father is a nagging person. He disappears from time to time, brings back many strange things from time to time, and often hums a tune when he is at home.Although she didn't understand what it meant, after hearing it a lot, she started to imitate it. It was only a long time later that she realized that those were spells, and she didn't know who made them up in which year or month. They were passed down from generation to generation. down.Some are used to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, while others are used to attract spirits and control demons... These completely different spells were just being recited in Yue Qinglan's mouth for fun.
Now thinking about those ghosts and gods who pass by Yue's house, they are really pitiful. They are summoned here and there from time to time, probably just like "everyone, let me step down".
When I was at home before, I heard my father mention that he wanted to go to Myanmar again, and then he was spurned by his mother: "You think life is too easy, don't you, you have to join in this kind of thing!"
When I was in Nepal, I got in touch with my father despite his busy schedule. He didn't care about himself. He said in a few words, "It would be great if you went to the Golden Triangle. Call a soul for me and ask him what he saw at that time." What?" Then he taught a few soul-summoning spells.
At that time, Yue Youran never thought that she would really come here, she just felt that her father was really strange, "I didn't say I would go."
"What if? Remember first..." Then came the mother's loud voice: "Youran just escaped from danger, why are you talking about this, are you her real father?"
Yue Qinglan backed away silently: "Only you know about this..."
"What do you mean by that!!!" Mom roared, grabbed the phone, expressed her motherly worries and concerns to Yue Youran, and told Yue Youran to go home as soon as possible. If there is anything, go to the embassy, eat well, and wear clothes when it's cold. clothing……
"What the hell did I see at that time...it's so incomprehensible, even ghosts can't understand it..." Yue Youran sighed.
With her previous physique, she needed to chant some spells to summon the spirits. She found an old tree beside the Chinese cemetery, stood under the tree and chanted the soul-calling spell, but there was no movement at all.Maybe there was a delay, she read it again, but there was still no news.
"Are you recruiting spirits?" In the middle of the night, someone suddenly appeared behind him and said such a sentence, even if Yue Youran was daring, he couldn't help being startled.
"Oh, no, no, I just didn't find a hotel, so I plan to stay here until dawn, it's a bit cold, just hum a few words." Yue Youran made up a random story.
The person who came was the person she had met during the day and asked her to go to the other side of the village to find him if she had something to do.
"There's no need to hide it. I could tell that something was wrong with you during the day, and I was worried that you would be lowered by someone without knowing it. It turns out that you are also a witch."
"Hey, what kind of witch, a witch sounds better than a witch." Yue Youran was very concerned about the issue of titles, she looked at the visitor carefully, and asked tentatively: "Su...Peng?"
After being drunk out of his identity, the visitor was visibly shocked: "How do you know?"
Of course Yue Youran wouldn't say it was just a wild guess, because Namu mentioned this name, so he was the first thing that came to mind.
"I don't have a room to sleep in the middle of the night, and you don't sleep because you have a room." Yue Youran was very dissatisfied and prepared to leave.
"The summoning is terminated halfway without reason, and it will affect everything after that. You will encounter terrible things." Su Peng just gave her a death notice so calmly.But it's too late now, and no one knows what will happen next.
Do what you like.
"Are you summoned in the village? Who are you calling? If you run away, wouldn't the things you recruited use the village to vent their anger?"
Although Youran has always been quite shameless, but in this situation, she has to be stubborn: "Isn't it because I didn't call?"
"Here we come." As he said that, his thick leather jacket was blown up by the wind.
