Chen Hong was seen wearing a linen robe, a white hat on his head, and talismans all over his body. He had a lifeless face, sunken and lifeless eyes, was extremely skinny, his hands were almost bony, and he had high cheekbones on his face, which looked very scary.
"Who are you looking for?" The voice was vague and eerie, which made Qi Xinlan feel a little creepy.
"Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen Hong, this Officer Wang is looking for you."
"Sister Lan, there is also evil spirit in Chen Hong. Her essence has been almost absorbed. That thing is indeed on Bai Xue." Xiao Ling's voice sounded in Qi Xinlan's mind.
"Xiao Ling, are you sure you can catch it?" Qi Xinlan asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Sister Lan, I don't take it seriously." Xiao Ling raised her chin slightly and said proudly.
While Qi Xinlan was stunned, Wang Ruzhou frowned and told Chen Hong his purpose, that he was here to deliver Bai Aidang's body.
"Okay, you can come in, but you have to stick this talisman on your body and don't make any sound." Chen Hong nervously handed over two pieces of talisman paper.
Qi Xinlan and Wang Ruzhou looked at each other without saying a word. They silently took the talisman paper, stuck it on their bodies, and then followed Chen Hong into the door.
As soon as she entered the room, the light dimmed. Qi Xinlan discovered that several windows in the room were covered with black cloth. It was quiet and gloomy. Suddenly, the wind outside howled coldly, and from time to time, the rustling sound of leaves in the wind could be heard.
Qi Xinlan's heart was beating fast, her legs felt a little weak, and she unconsciously moved a little closer to Wang Ruzhou.
Even though she had experienced rebirth, she was still afraid of ghosts.
Wang Ruzhou felt the woman next to him move a little closer to him, and a faint fragrance began to linger around his nose, which made his heart flutter and his steps stopped unconsciously.
Seeing that Wang Ruzhou was not leaving, Qi Xinlan gently tugged at his sleeve.
Wang Ruzhou finally came back to his senses and looked at Qi Xinlan, only to see her winking at him and motioning him to look to the side.
I saw an old woman in a black cloak sitting on a stool. Like Chen Hong, her body was covered with talismans.
Her skin was wrinkled like pickles with too much salt, her face covered with age spots, and her eye sockets were sunken, as if a shotgun had blasted them in. Her flat nose almost covered her nostrils, and beneath it were black, uneven teeth, which appeared and disappeared as she muttered incantations, making her look extremely scary and frightening.
In front of the old woman was a table with a candle on it. Although there was no wind, the candle kept flickering, giving people a creepy feeling.
Wang Ruzhou frowned when he saw this. What was there to not understand? This was a ritual and feudal superstition!
Wang Ruzhou gestured to the two police officers.
The two policemen immediately understood, and they tore off all the black cloth on the windows, blew out the candles, and wanted to tear off the talismans on the two men, but the two men were like possessed and made a loud noise.
"You can't tear my talisman paper. It's my life-saving paper! Otherwise, Bai Xue will come to harm me!" Chen Hong looked panicked and screamed while desperately protecting the talisman paper on her body.
"Who are you? You will offend the gods by doing this! The gods will blame you!" The old woman was terrified. After she finished speaking, she kept muttering to herself, "I am guilty. God, please don't blame me. God, please don't blame me."
Although after the reform and opening up, the control on the belief in ghosts and gods is not as strict now, it is still not allowed whether it is promoted publicly or privately!
"Aunt Chen Hong, what do you mean? Why would Bai Xue hurt you? Where is Bai Xue?" Qi Xinlan looked around but couldn't find Bai Xue, so she went up and grabbed Chen Hong's arm and asked.
"Bai Xue is a monster. She changes every day and is very scary. She is the one who killed the old man!" When Chen Hong heard the name Bai Xue, her eyes were filled with fear and her whole body was trembling.
"What do you mean? How could Uncle Bai be killed by Bai Xue?" Qi Xinlan asked puzzledly.
"Why not? It's her! Otherwise, how come she's getting prettier day by day? She must have sucked the old man dry. She's a monster that sucks people's energy!" Chen Hong had suspected it early on. Before, Bai Xue was getting prettier day by day, and she could fool people by saying that girls change a lot when they grow up. But not long ago, she saw Bai Xue turning back into an ugly duckling. After Bai Aidang died, she became beautiful again. She must have sucked Bai Aidang's energy dry. Otherwise, how could she explain the ups and downs of her appearance?
"What about Shirayuki? Where is Shirayuki?"
"That...over there." Chen Hong's fingers trembled as she pointed at a tightly closed door, which was also covered with talismans.
Seeing this, Wang Ruzhou went forward to open the door and found that it was locked from the inside.
Wang Ruzhou took a few steps back and dived. With a clang, the door opened.
Seeing this, Qi Xinlan hurriedly followed, but found that the room was empty and there was no one there.
"Aunt Chen Hong, where is Bai Xue? Didn't you say she was in this room?"
"Huh?" Chen Hong was shocked and hurried over to take a look. But she didn't see Bai Xue either. Suddenly, she breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, and danced with joy, saying, "Well done! Well done! This saves me from living in fear all day!"
"Congratulations, Chen Hong, the demon has been driven away and you can rest in peace." At this time, the old woman interrupted.
"Thank you, witch. If you didn't have such great magical powers, this wouldn't be solved so easily." Chen Hong said as she took out ten dollars and handed it over.
When the old woman saw the money, her eyes lit up. Just as she was about to take it, Wang Ruzhou stopped her with a serious face. He also gave the two of them a verbal lecture, mainly teaching them not to engage in feudal superstitions.
Chen Hong was in high spirits, mainly because Bai Xue had left and the ten yuan reward that had been agreed upon was returned to her. How could she not be happy?
But the old woman looked worried. She worked so hard but not only did she not get paid, all her props were taken away. It was a huge loss!
After Wang Ruzhou returned Bai Aidang's body to Chen Hong, he took Qi Xinlan and others away.
Qi Xinlan felt that there was something weird everywhere.
Where did Snow White go?
"Sister Lan, I can't feel any evil spirit. I guess Bai Xue has left here for a long time." Xiao Ling's voice sounded.
"If she leaves, where can she go?" Qi Xinlan asked doubtfully.
"She will definitely go find someone who carries good luck. That evil cultivator needs to absorb good luck so that he can break free from the constraints of the laws of nature in this world." Xiao Ling said after thinking for a while.
"A man of luck, could it be..." Qi Xinlan's pupils shrank when she heard this. Thinking of Bai Xue's attentiveness to Xu Minghao, she felt uneasy.
"That's right, it's Brother Xu. Bai Xue must have gone to find Brother Xu." Xiao Ling said it all.
"What should I do then?" Qi Xinlan was very anxious now, like an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles.
"Sister Lan, don't worry. Brother Xu's luck has not weakened and he is safe now." Xiao Ling comforted.
"But I'm still worried. I'm going to find him in the military camp. I won't be at ease if I don't see him!" Qi Xinlan was not relieved by Xiao Ling's words. Instead, she became more worried. Now Xu Minghao is in the light and Bai Xue is in the dark. There is danger anytime and anywhere!
