Chapter 241 The Woman Carrying a Lantern (3) (4000 words)

   At the moment when he faced the woman with the red lantern, Yan Junze didn't express anything, just stared at her without saying a word.

  The lantern girl also looked directly at Yan Junze, but in the next second, she opened her mouth and asked a series of questions, and her voice was extremely strange.

   "Have you seen...my husband?"

The pronunciation of the first four words of this sentence is normal. When she said "my", the voice of Lantern Girl suddenly became hoarse and rough, and when she finished saying the last word "do", her voice was completely The taste changed, like the roar of a burly man in a rage.

  Since then, Yan Junze could clearly feel that his hair was blown back by a gust of wind, his clothes rattled, his eyes blurred, and he couldn't see anything at this moment.

Snapped!

  The next second, five fingers pressed on his head.

   "Rewind."

   This time, Yan Junze went straight back to the moment before he entered the ditch. He stood in the plum grove, looking at the winding ditch in front of him, not going down any further.

  Anyway, Lantern Girl is still squatting in the middle of the ditch, pawing at the yellowed skull with both hands. As long as Yan Junze goes through the ditch, she will always meet her and stop him at the necessary place.

   And I don’t know what changed after each retracement. In the previous retracement, the direction of things changed unexpectedly, and the Lantern Girl became a red lantern ahead of time.

  If he still enters the ditch this time, Yan Junze has an intuition that there is a high probability that he will be intercepted by her, and her red lantern state will still be triggered.

  So, he found a comfortable place without moonlight, sat down, and began to wait quietly.

  Now it takes about half an hour to make a moonshade with tree branches, and if Yan Junze's estimate is correct, the Lantern Girl will return to Meilin along this river in about ten minutes.

   Sure enough, after waiting for about 12 minutes, a white figure appeared in the ditch with a lantern in hand. Only the upper body could be seen, but soon all appeared under Yan Junze's eyes.

  Yan Junze first noticed the white lantern in her hand, and felt relieved a little. Lantern Girl's walking posture was very elegant, and her long skirt swayed gently with her steps, without any dirt.

   After waiting for a while, Lantern Girl completely walked to the bottom of the ditch on the side of Meilin. If it was Yan Junze, he would climb up with hands and feet at this time, and it took some effort to climb out of the ditch.

  But the Lantern Girl was not like this, but walked up step by step, leaning her body but not falling down, standing on the top of the river ditch for a while, and then walked into the plum forest.

  Yan Junze had already stood up. He didn't hide himself, but stood in front of Lantern Girl generously. When she approached, he said, "Maybe I can help you find your husband-in-law."

Lantern Girl was originally prepared to ask a question first after seeing a person, but she didn't know that the other person spoke directly, and cut to the point as soon as she spoke, her eyes lit up slightly, and she walked over quickly: "Really? "

   "Of course it is true." Yan Junze nodded, "But I need to know some information, you must answer me truthfully, otherwise I can't guarantee that I will find your husband."

  The Lantern Girl hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Well, okay, as long as you can find your husband, please tell me."

  So the opening statement is very important.

   While speaking, Yan Junze had been observing the lantern in the woman's hand. The lantern was always white, and the light was not too bright, which indicated that the woman's mood was very stable at present.

  A good opening statement occupies half of the chance of whether the task can be successfully completed.

  Yan Junze gained some confidence at this moment, and continued: "May I ask if your family lives near here, and where?"

  The Lantern Girl nodded: "My husband and I live in Mojia Village, but we are outsiders, and we have lived in Mojia Village for... well, four years."

   "Where do you live?" Yan Junze asked.

  The Lantern Girl pointed to the forest.

   "Can you take me there?" Yan Junze said.

  The Lantern Girl nodded and led the way ahead, because the Merlin itself is very small, and it takes about ten minutes to pass through it quickly, so the two quickly entered the center of the Merlin.

  Yan Junze looked around, but there was nothing, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

   "I live here." Lantern Girl walked to a place that looked a little flat, and stood motionless.

  Yan Junze took a closer look and felt that if a house could be built on this flat land, it would not be impossible. Maybe Lantern Girl and her husband really lived here before, but now things have changed, and the house has long since disappeared.

  If she was here, she would definitely not be able to find her husband's whereabouts.

  Yan Junze thought for a while and asked, "Does your husband have any friends in the village, and which one do you usually like to visit?"

"My husband, he concentrates on studying just to prepare for the provincial examination. He doesn't do anything at home, and he doesn't have many friends." Lantern girl shook her head, "However, if he gets tired of studying, he will go to Mo Zhengping's house in the west to teach Mo Zhengping's two sons. A child reads."

   "Mo Zhengping, where do you live?" Yan Junze frowned and asked.

  The lantern girl turned back and walked towards the direction of the ditch just now. After a while, the two of them came to the ditch.

  The Lantern Girl pointed to the house directly in front of her: "That's Mo Zhengping's house."

   "Perhaps...we should go and have a look." Yan Junze reminded, "You have been looking around here and around Meilin. No wonder you can't find your husband. Maybe he has been at Mo Zhengping's house all along?"

  The Lantern Girl was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Well, I should go and have a look."

   "I'll go with you, but it seems to be closer from the river ditch."

   After saying that, Yan Junze jumped down the ditch first and walked forward.

  The Lantern Girl did not hesitate, and followed Yan Junze down the ditch.

   "Damn it, that guy led Lantern Girl into the ditch, didn't he come this way?"

  In the room of Mo Zhengping's old house, Zhang Xiaomo, Zhang Di, Fang Zun, and Yuan Dingzhou huddled together, and they all gathered at the window facing Mei Lin to look out.

  The fog is much thinner tonight, and the moonlight is sufficient, resulting in excellent sightlines.

  Just now they saw the lantern girl walking out of the ditch, and then met a man, and then the two disappeared in the Merlin.

   But after a while, the two reappeared, and then pointed in this direction, and finally jumped down the ditch one after the other, without seeing the figure.

  The four people in the room had every reason to suspect that the silly pen that looked like a man was bringing Lantern Girl to them.

   "Who is that guy? He doesn't look like someone from our side. It's fine to die alone, why did you bring everyone into the fire pit?" Yuan Dingzhou looked confused.

   "And this guy seems to have a good chat with Lantern Girl!" Zhang Di also said.

   "Something is wrong." Fang Zun stood up, leaned against the window, and tried to keep his eyes wide open, "If they really come, this is not a place to stay for a long time."

   "Yes." Zhang Xiaomo nodded, "We have to find a way to go to Jiang Yaofei's side, otherwise we will not only keep losing contact with Jiang Yaofei, but now this place will become very dangerous."

  After speaking, the views of the four people were surprisingly consistent. Yuan Dingzhou walked to the door, gently opened the door, and poked his head out to look left and right.

  Zhang Xiaomo looked at the spirit detector in his hand.

  The spirit detector shows that there are 11 weird places nearby, but they all seem to be ordinary weird, and there is a certain chance that the spirit detector will not be able to detect some weird or too high-level weirdness.

  As for the weirdness detected by these detections, everyone was not afraid at all, so in just a moment, the four of them walked out of Mo Zhengping's old house one after another.

   Along the way, if you see an ordinary weirdness that is close to each other, without making too much noise, two or three people will swarm up and smash down with a few magnetic knives to instantly defeat the weird magnetic field.

  They only knew Jiang Yaofei's location roughly, but they didn't know which house he was in. At this moment, the information signal couldn't reach anything, so they could only look for it.

   Soon the four of them completely left the range of Mo Zhengping's old house, and got closer and closer to a slightly spacious farmhouse where Jiang Yaofei was.

   At this moment, Fang Zun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, his back swung slightly behind him, and then squatted down.

   Seeing this, the others immediately squatted down, staring at the front without moving.

  I saw a small red coffin lying quietly on the road in the middle of the not-so-wide street ahead.

   This coffin may be slightly smaller than half the normal coffin, but it seems to be very heavy. At first glance, a child's corpse should fit inside the red coffin.

  Although it was just a coffin, for some reason, after seeing this scene, the four spirit eliminators suddenly didn't even dare to vent their breath. They squatted silently on the ground without moving, and pressed their heads as much as possible.

  Zhang Xiaomo looked away from the spirit detector, looked at Zhang Di who was watching her, and then shook her head.

   There is no display, and there is no display of the red coffin in front of the spirit detector. Obviously, the coffin cannot run to the middle of the road by itself.

  Under the detection of the spirit detector, it seemed that the coffin in front of him did not exist at all.

  But Zhang Xiaomo knows very well that this kind of situation is the most terrifying.

   No wonder Jiang Yaofei and the others never came to look for their team, they were all trapped here. Now our own thinking should be the same as that of Jiang Yaofei and the others. As long as the coffin is not disturbed, it is a wise choice to find a place to hide first.

   But fortunately, there is not a wandering spirit around here who dares to wander around.

  Yuan Dingzhou pointed to the nearest brick house, and several people nodded immediately, squatting on the ground without saying a word, quickly crawled towards the brick house, and got in through the half-open door.

   Immediately, everyone was stunned for a moment, and found that there were many books and tomes in it.

  Looking up, there is a very simple plaque on it, with the words "Liangde Study" vaguely written on it.

   Soon Zhang Di found a movable window in the middle of two ancient bookcases, pushed it open gently, and he could see the direction of Mo Zhengping's house.

  In the ditch.

  Yan Junze began to move forward faster, but no matter how fast he walked, the Lantern Girl behind him still followed behind him unhurriedly.

  Yan Junze looked back from time to time, he was not looking at the lantern girl, but was paying attention to the color of the lantern.

   Quickly reached the end of the ditch, Yan Junze climbed up with both hands and feet. Looking back, Lantern Girl was already following behind him.

   "Here." Lantern Girl pointed to the house in front of her eyes, "This is Mo Zhengping's home. My husband-in-law often comes here to teach his two children."

  Yan Junze nodded, pushed the door open and walked in.

  He is not afraid of any weird things in this room, because even if there are weird things, they are not as powerful as Lantern Girl.

  And if she is really stronger than Lantern Girl, Lantern Girl will not dare to follow.

  Of course, if the weirdness of both parties encountered is the same, it is a lottery.

  The lantern girl also followed behind Yan Junze, and quickly turned around the not-so-large house.

Nothing at all.

  Based on Yan Junze's eyesight, he is not a detective, nor can he see any traces of living people's activities here.

   "Can you feel your husband?" Yan Junze turned around and asked.

  The lantern girl shook her head.

  At this moment, Yan Junze found that the fire in the lantern she was carrying had obviously begun to light up.

   "Fuck, it's about to start again." Yan Junze was taken aback.

   This is the first place I'm looking for. I didn't see her husband-in-law. I didn't expect this woman to have such a weird temper. If I didn't see her once, she was going to get mad right away?

   "Calm down first!"

   "Where's my husband-in-law?" The lantern girl's tone became colder. Instead of calming down, the fire in the lantern gradually became red.

   "Calm down, think about it carefully, maybe we can find your husband." Yan Junze said.

   "Are you kidding me?"

  Boom!

  The white lantern carried by Lantern Girl turned completely red at this moment, and at a close distance, Yan Junze immediately witnessed the woman's facial features being elongated quickly after the red light glowed, and she looked like a monster in an instant, with a ferocious and terrifying appearance.

   File back!

  Yan Junze and the lantern girl carrying a white lantern walked outside Mo Zhengping's house and stopped.

   "Perhaps, we don't need to go in and look for it." Yan Junze said suddenly.

  The lantern girl raised her head and looked at him without speaking.

   Now Yan Junze will definitely not choose to enter the house again, he must think of the next solution.

"Because, I feel that your husband will not be here." Yan Junze continued: "He left after quarreling with you, and he is not in the mood to teach and educate people at this time. Does he usually like to find a place where no one is around? Relax or something?"

  The Lantern Girl thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "When he's not happy, he likes to stay with books and doesn't like to go out."

   "Books?" Yan Junze was taken aback, "Where are the most books in this village?"

   "It's over there." The Lantern Girl stretched out her hand and pointed to a street not far away, "All the books donated by the village teacher Mo Liangde in the past are in Liangde's Study Room."

   "The books at that time must have turned into dust, unless they were bamboo slips." Yan Junze guessed secretly, and said, "Then let's go and have a look."

   "Aren't you going to visit Mo Zhengping's house?" Lantern Girl asked.

   "No more, trust me, your husband is probably in Liangde's study." Yan Junze was resolute.
