Chapter 29 Finding the Lost Child
The remaining people almost huddled together, and were also very frightened.
"Yao, after you yelled just now, you just stood there and yelled, and then you took a step and bumped into Third Brother!"
The man called Yao was so scared that he started to cry loudly, "I want to go home! I want to go home! I won't come! I want to leave!"
Some people even knelt down and kowtowed, "Third sister-in-law, I have never hurt you, please let me go! Third sister-in-law! Please let me go!"
"What are you talking about?" Tan Lao San smiled charmingly, "How could I not know whether you are going to harm me or not? Am I going to be blind and heartless like a human being after I become a ghost?"
“Ghost!”
“Help!”
“I don’t want to die!”
Suddenly, screams were heard one after another. They fled in fear, and finally returned to the center together.
Mother Tan was still running around and scratching like a madman, while Old Third Tan was standing there grinning and twisting his body. Whenever he saw someone calm down, he would say a few words to them in a private manner.
There were fewer and fewer people passing by the periphery. Even if someone passed by, they would inexplicably quicken their pace when passing through that area. Most people simply bypassed this area and were not aware of the farce at all.
It was as if there was an invisible wall between them and Tan's mother, preventing them from seeing each other.
Even Zhang Song, Song's mother and Zhang Yue, who wanted to come to the store to check out what was going on, just walked past while chatting for no apparent reason.
On the other side, at the intersection of Xingfu Road and Woai Road, Lu Qiu closed his eyes and tapped the car door lightly with his fingertips until he heard the roar of a motorcycle coming from far away. He suddenly opened his eyes, pushed open the car door, and directly maneuvered the wheelchair down the modified door ramp.
The sharp sound of motorcycle tires rubbing against the ground was heard. Xia Wange got off the motorcycle and threw his helmet aside. He nodded slightly at Lu Qiu, glanced around, and frowned slightly, "I'll clear the field first."
After saying that, she walked towards the corner of the curb.
The mother who lost her child and was being carried by her was holding her helmet in dismay, staring at Xia Wange nervously.
At this moment, Xia Wange has become her backbone.
At Lu Qiu's signal, the driver Xiao Liu pushed the motorcycle to the side of the road and parked it. He looked around with some confusion and felt strange in his heart.
Clear the area? Clear what area?
It's already past ten o'clock, and this isn't a main road, so there are only a few of them here.
But they saw Xia Wange walk to a curb not far from them, lean down and pat something on the shoulder, then raised her hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "Grandma, go to the intersection over there to ask for money. I saw someone burning paper over there, and you can pick up a lot."
"Really? They don't allow burning here. If you go to the intersection outside, they will allow burning. There may be a hearse passing by tomorrow and scattering money."
"Yes, you're welcome."
The driver looked at Xia Wange in horror. He asked Lu Qiu in a trembling voice, "Mr. Lu, who is she talking to?"
Lu Qiu frowned slightly, looked at Xia Wange who was walking away again, and said calmly: "The overtime pay will be doubled."
"Okay, I get it." Driver Xiao Liu understood immediately.
Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask. Curiosity is not as important as making money.
After a while, Xia Wange came back jogging, "It seems that there are quite a lot of car accidents here, and they are all caused by lonely souls who are unaware of the danger."
If it were a normal ghost, it would have instinctively avoided Lu Qiu when it sensed him coming. However, these lonely ghosts had been wandering for too long and had lost the ability to detect danger and their instincts.
The rules of their sect are not to harm any soul or creature easily, and not to harm people easily. All things have spirituality, and God is merciful, so there should be a way out for everything.
She briefly explained it to Lu Qiu, then took out a stick of incense, a red thread and a bowl.
"Drop some blood in it." Xia Wange said as she searched for a blood sample in her bag. When she looked up, she found that the mother who had lost her child had bitten her finger and was desperately squeezing blood into the bowl.
The ten fingers were connected to the heart, but the other party didn't even frown. Just looking at Xia Wange made her feel pain.
Bite it alive.
"There's still some hair, just a small strand will do." Xia Wange said, and immediately took out a pair of scissors, "I have the tools, don't pull it out."
The mother who lost her child gave a smile uglier than crying and put a strand of cut hair into the bowl.
"Lu Qiu." Xia Wange looked at him, "I need to borrow a bit of your luck."
Lu Qiu immediately asked: "How do I borrow it?"
"As long as you really want to borrow it, it's fine." Xia Wange said, "Her child is lost, and I'm helping her find him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Wange saw a purple luck floating towards her. She raised her hand to grab the luck and put it all into the bowl. "It's done."
Lu Qiu, who was still thinking about how to agree, was stunned.
Is that all?
Then they saw Xia Wange took out a talisman from somewhere, held it between her index and middle fingers and swung it hard, and the talisman paper spontaneously combusted. Then she threw the talisman paper into the bowl and shook it gently. Everything in the bowl started to burn. She soaked a rope thoroughly in water mixed with various things and wrapped it around the incense, then lit the incense with a lighter.
Watching the green smoke rising and then slowly dissipating, Xia Wange handed the incense to the mother who had lost her child. "Hold the incense and sit in the car. Silently recite your child's name and imagine what he looks like. The more detailed the better. That's Xiao Liu, right? You drive and I'll take over from behind."
After that, several people quickly got in the car. When everything was ready, Xia Wange clung to the front seat and said, "Look at the smoke. Drive in the direction the smoke is heading. Okay, drive left."
Driver Xiao Liu didn't believe this at first. Everyone in the company said that Xia Wange was very capable, and he thought everyone was exaggerating. And just now he saw the other party talking to the air, and he thought it was weird. But now he doesn't believe it rationally, but emotionally he hopes that this will be useful.
It is such a devastating blow to a family when a child is lost, and he hopes the child can be found.
But as they drove on, he could no longer help but believe it. The incense was like a navigation system, constantly changing direction at every intersection. Slowly following the guidance of the incense, they drove out of the city and onto the highway.
Seeing that the route would not change for the time being, Xia Wange sat back in his seat and asked, "Excuse me, what's your name?"
The woman who had been silently reciting her child's name in her heart was stunned and quickly said, "It doesn't matter if your surname is Xue, you can just call me Xiao Xue."
"Xiao Xue, how did you lose your child? Where is your husband?"
Xiao Xue nodded, her voice choking with sobs. "My husband is at the police station, and he's looking for the child with the police. My family is the Zhang family, a distant relative of Zhang Yue and Zhang Song. Today they said someone came to their house to cause trouble, and asked us, who are related to them, to help. Then my mother-in-law said that the child was lost at the police station. Zhang Yue's mother sent me a private message saying that she would come to you and that there must be a way to find the child. I didn't believe it at first, but when I followed the police to check surveillance cameras everywhere, I couldn't find any clues. I really had no other choice, so I came to you..."
