Murong Xue: "The two of them were hospitalized for emergency treatment before. They were saved, and the police investigated, but in the end they didn't arrest them. It seems that there was insufficient evidence to convict them."
Luo Yang and Wu Xuan had a good relationship, and Luo Yang even went to ask Wu Xuan about it. Wu Xuan didn't say anything. Later, Li Wenfeng was discharged from the hospital first, but the next day he drowned in the artificial lake next to the community.
It is said that some people saw him jump straight in, and others saw him jump in to save him, but Li Wenfeng's body was too heavy to be pulled up, and they could only watch him sink and drown.
And then there's Wu Xuan. When he heard that Li Wenfeng was dead, he went completely mad. He was terrified of water, and even the IV fluids made him scream. He only calmed down after being given a sedative.
Then, the first thing he did after waking up was to turn himself in. He admitted that they had killed the girl named Wenya, but later, Wu Xuan choked to death on water in the detention center. Apparently, just a paper cup of lukewarm water was enough to kill him!
Qin Nan: "Luo Yang and Mo Shan?"
Murong Xue: "They're fine. Luo Yang's leg is much better; he just needs more rest. When Mo Shan started acting strangely, she was incredibly strong. Five or six boys couldn't move her. The police found it suspicious and sent her to the hospital for observation. Once they found nothing wrong, they released her."
Qin Nan: "Yeah, you guys should remember this next time and not ignore other people's advice."
Murong Xue: "Hehe, definitely, that's terrifying. I even went to my room to reflect on my actions. I used to think it was pointless when my parents did charity donations, but now I go with them on my own initiative. I've also signed up for a lot of volunteer services to accumulate good karma!"
Qin Nan chuckled, "It can't be that bad."
Murong Xue: "Of course! Of course it's necessary! I don't want anyone coming to take my life!"
Qin Nan chatted with Murong Xue for a bit more, saying that the five of them wanted to come to the Qin residence again. They had already burned paper money to worship Wen Ya, and then wanted to come to the well to worship again. Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao next to her, and Bai Hao said it was up to Qin Nan, so Qin Nan agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Nan looked out the window at the bright sunshine. Inside the house, one adult and one child were quietly watching TV, while the other was quietly playing with toys. Qin Nan suddenly wondered whether what Bai Hao had said that day was true or false.
Is Bai Hao a person? Or not? He's definitely not a ghost, since he has a shadow and occasionally likes to bask in the sun.
In the afternoon, Qin Nan was picking grapes in the yard when Zhao Qiuyan sent her a message.
Zhao Qiuyan: I asked them for you, and they made me so angry! They're both scumbags!
Qin Nan: I heard they're all dead?
Zhao Qiuyan: Yes, it was supposedly an accident, but the guy who responded to the call told me that the scene was quite strange.
Zhao Qiuyan: You asked about the results of the body dug out of your house, right? My childhood friend works at the forensic center in your city. He told me that the girl had a terrible time and suffered a lot before she died!
Qin Nan: What kind of suffering?
Zhao Qiuyan: You're not allowed to reveal this. I know you're tight-lipped, but let me tell you, during the forensic examination, there were ropes and stones in the mud around the girl's body, and the remains were bound. In addition, according to one of the suspects, the girl had... you know, and more than once.
Then they gagged him, tied him with ropes, weighed him down with stones, and sank him into the well. It was November, and the well water was so cold! And those two scumbags even carried soil to fill the well and cleaned the well platform.
One of them was fond of antiques and knew how to fake their age, so the police didn't find anything unusual about the well platform. Moreover, when they went down to search, they couldn't find him. Most people wouldn't imagine that this person was so ruthless. He was buried very deep. You should have seen them digging!
Qin Nan thought back to that afternoon and realized that a lot of silt had indeed been transported.
Qin Nan: It was quite a lot, it took several hours. Thank you, sister. Those two got what they deserved.
Zhao Qiuyan: To put it bluntly, if I weren't a police officer, I would really want to applaud the deaths of these two!
Qin Nan: No, sis, calm down, you're a law enforcement officer!
Zhao Qiuyan: I know! Okay, I have to go to a meeting now, I'll talk to you later.
Qin Nan: Okay, let's talk later.
Qin Nan put down her phone, turned to look at the well, where some weeds had grown again. Qin Nan didn't want to go and tend to them, but then she thought of the innocent girl who had died, sighed deeply, finished picking the grapes, and carried the basket back to the backyard.
Bai Hao heard Qin Nan enter the house and turned to look at him. "I ordered a stone statue to ward off evil spirits. It will be delivered in the next couple of days and placed in the open space in the front yard."
Qin Nan was taken aback. "A stone statue for warding off evil spirits? What kind of stone statue? Shi Gandang? Guan Yu?"
Bai Hao: "Pixiu".
Qin Nan: "Oh, a mythical beast called Pixiu, used to ward off evil spirits and bring wealth. Is it very big?"
Bai Hao: "Maybe, you'll find out when the time comes."
Qin Nan nodded, washed the grapes for Bai Hao, and made some dried yellow croaker and freeze-dried fruit for the Totoro. The Totoro was so happy that its eyes sparkled.
Qin Nan watched Totoro eating happily and felt that Totoro seemed to have lost some weight recently, but because she watched it every day, she couldn't tell after a while.
It's getting dark earlier and earlier, and the temperature is starting to drop. Qin Nan's winter clothes should arrive in the next day or two. In less than a month, the heating will be turned on, so it won't be too cold.
The cabbages and carrots planted in Qin Nan's vegetable garden have grown quite a bit, but they won't be ready to be harvested until late November. It's not ready yet, as they will need to make room in the warehouse to store them later.
After having dinner as usual, Qin Nan cleaned up the kitchen, then took a shower and went back to her room to lie down.
Within two days, someone delivered the Pixiu stone statue that Bai Hao had mentioned.
Qin Nan looked at the stone statue at the entrance, which was only about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall, and was slightly surprised. Although the statue was smaller than Qin Nan had imagined, it was carved very lifelike.
After Bai Hao finished speaking, he went online to look up what the Pixiu looked like—its body was like a tiger or leopard, its head and tail resembled a dragon, its color was both gold and jade, it had a pair of wings on its shoulders that could not be spread, and it had a horn on its head that tilted backward.
The Pixiu statue ordered by Bai Hao also stands with its head held high, but this Pixiu has two horns. Qin Nan had looked up some information and found that Pixiu are divided into one-horned and two-horned types. One-horned Pixiu is called "Tianlu" and two-horned Pixiu is called "Bixie".
The stone statue was placed in the center of the front yard, facing the main gate. Qin Nan stood at the gate, looking at the Pixiu stone statue. Bai Hao noticed that it was almost noon and Qin Nan hadn't gone to the back yard to cook, so he strolled over to the front yard and walked to Qin Nan's side.
Qin Nan: "Boss, your 'Pixiu' statue is so lifelike!"
Bai Hao paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm...maybe the craftsmanship is good."
Qin Nan: "But doesn't it look a little small?"
Bai Hao didn't care at all. "Oh, he's not grown up yet. He'll be fine when he grows up."
Qin Nan: "......"
Growing up?! Qin Nan suddenly turned to look at Bai Hao. Holy crap, a stone sculpture can grow up?!
Bai Hao looked at Qin Nan, nodded seriously, and then leisurely walked back to the backyard.
Qin Nan glanced at the Pixiu statue a couple more times, then went to the backyard to cook, feeling puzzled.
As soon as Qin Nan left, the Pixiu statue slowly turned its head to look at the open front hall, blinked, and then silently turned back, remaining motionless.
