Chapter 53: Full of doubts!
When Qi Xu thought about it, she realized something was wrong. She still remembered the black energy from the baby spirit on Chen Lin's head, the black energy from the female ghost of Xiao Hao's family, and the black energy from the resentment of the female ghost of Qi Feng's family. They all seemed to have the same origin.
"Jiang Hongyi, let me ask you, has anything bizarre ever happened on this island before? Or, to put it another way, anything unusual?"
Qi Xu felt that something was wrong. Was there some unspeakable secret hidden on this island?
"Actually, I haven't been on the island long, only two years."
"The reason I was transferred here was because I remember my superiors told me to protect everything on the island, whether it's people or animals."
This was not a military secret in the first place, and everyone on the island knew it. Jiang Hongyi was just stating the facts.
"Jiang Hongyi, something's wrong. Let's investigate what happened on this island before your garrison troops arrived."
Qi Xu's eyes had never been so serious before. Just one glance from Jiang Hongyi was enough to determine the seriousness of the situation.
"Okay, I'll definitely check it out."
After discussing the important matter, Qi Xu realized that his previous actions seemed a bit abrupt.
"Um, that, just now, I was too anxious..."
"I know."
When she wanted to continue explaining, Jiang Hongyi interrupted her.
Qi Xu tilted his head and felt that the person in front of him seemed not as cold as before, but a little warmer.
"Hmm... the wild boar meat should be disposed of quickly. I'll carry it in a basket to the market to see if I can sell it."
"The backpack is too small. I'll go to the logistics department and borrow a cart."
Just as Qi Xu was about to take the backpack, he was stopped by him. It seemed that the area of the cart would be a little larger, so Qi Xu did not refuse.
After waiting for Jiang Hongyi to push the cart into the yard, the three of them divided the work.
Qi Hong was responsible for picking the meat in better condition and storing it at home and in the refrigerator, while Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi were responsible for moving the excess wild boar meat onto a cart.
Afterwards, Qi Hong was responsible for picking out some fat and lean meat at home and frying it into mixed rice dishes, and the two of them pushed the cart to the market.
Along the way, many people took the initiative to greet Jiang Hongyi, all of them coveting the wild boar meat on the cart. Some old ladies in the staff housing estate even took a fancy to the wild boar meat and sold it directly.
Before the cart was even pushed out of the family compound, a quarter of the wild boar meat was missing.
The two became even more popular after they arrived at the market. After all, wild boar meat is fresh, tender and delicious, and many people like it.
Qi Xu was very happy with the income coming in one after another. Besides, who can resist money?
The amount of wild boar meat on the cart was visibly decreasing. Suddenly, a young man appeared in the group of aunts and grandmas. He looked to be about twenty years older than Jiang Hongyi.
The man waited until the aunt and the grandmother had finished selecting the wild boar meat before stepping forward to choose it himself.
Qi Xu could clearly feel that the aura of that person was different from others, but when he felt it carefully, he couldn't feel the difference.
"Are you going to buy some meat for your family too? Which part do you want?"
Qi Xu took the initiative to bring up the topic, wanting to observe him for a few more minutes.
"Oh, my family doesn't have any requirements, they just want more lean meat. Please help me pick one out."
The young man didn't react much and pointed to the pile of meat left on the cart.
Jiang Hongyi nodded and took the initiative to pick out a relatively lean piece of meat for him and weighed it.
When paying the money, Qi Xu accidentally touched the man's fingertips and felt that his body temperature was not that of a normal person, but too cold.
Qi Xu's expression did not change because of this. After receiving the money, he even gave him some extra change.
This time, the man's fingertips touched her again. At this moment, Qi Xu was sure that the man might be trying to find out her background.
It's just a pity that as long as she doesn't use her mental power, she will be no different from an ordinary person no matter what the circumstances.
Qi Duoyu was cautious and took a few more glances at his face before he turned to leave.
It was not normal that the man's face could not be seen clearly. Although his facial features were regular, his forehead was completely blocked by a gray area, and his brow was completely invisible.
The doubts in their hearts had already been sown. After all the wild boar meat was sold, the two men pushed the cart to the river and washed the blood stains on it before returning it to the logistics manager Luo Jingfeng.
In the afternoon, Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi said goodbye, changed their clothes, and went to the market again.
While selling wild boar meat, I heard an old lady say a few words.
It was said that Zou Yaojie was looking for that Taoist priest and had made many trips in the morning, scaring the vendors in the market to death. They thought that the "Little Bully" was going to make something out of nothing again.
Sure enough, not long after she arrived at the market and hung up her small cloth banner, Zou Yaojie came to find her.
"Master! Master! Last time you told me to be wary of my brothers. I've noticed something's amiss with one of them, but I can't put my finger on it. What should I do?"
When Zou Yaojie saw Qi Xu with a mustache, he felt like he had found a savior and immediately started discussing with her.
"Oh? What do you think is wrong with him? Tell me."
"It was just that last time I bought a peace amulet from you, Master. The other brothers, besides wondering why I suddenly became superstitious, still accepted the amulet and carried it with them."
"He was the only one who said he didn't need it and didn't accept the talisman. I tried to force it on him, but he just shook my hand away and didn't seem to be in a good mood."
"Later, when we went out to sea, he would often ask for leave."
Zou Yaojie's series of descriptions made Qi Xu frown.
It sounds like there is something wrong with this person.
But she thought of a better idea, "Zou Yaojie, don't worry. I'll write you a new talisman. Please help me put it quietly into his pocket. Usually no one can detect this talisman."
As Qi Xu spoke, he directly picked up the cinnabar pen and wrote the talisman, folding it into a triangle and emphasizing, "Remember, this talisman can disappear in your pocket in the shape of a triangle, or it can disappear if you spread it out flat and slap it on your body."
"Don't worry, it has no effect on people, but I can know some of the things this person does based on the spell."
She saw why Zou Yaojie was frowning and confused, and quickly continued to explain.
"As long as there are no side effects, I'm fine. I just have a suspicion that something's wrong with him. He's always been diligent at work, so maybe I'm just worrying too much."
After hearing her explanation, Zou Yaojie took it with confidence, and then handed over five Great Unity notes.
"This talisman paper is not expensive. Since you are a regular customer of mine, I will charge you two sheets. However, if you feel anything is wrong or unusual, you must come to me. Remember safety is the priority."
Now Qi Xu is still not sure about the specific situation of the person he is talking about, but her sixth sense tells her that this matter cannot be ignored.
