Chapter 104 [23]

The outside of the house is still deadly calm, the doors and windows inside the house are tightly closed, and the lights have been turned on in advance, casting a layer of bright colors in the small room.

"Our family moved to the town some time ago. My brother went to the old house in the village to get things, but he didn't come back after he went out." The girl hesitated for a moment, and she lowered her voice: "The Taoist said that my brother was killed by something. The dirty things are entangled and cannot come back, and some external force is needed to break these dirty things."

"The location was chosen at Lover's Lake, did you find anything to prove your identity?" Yan Qing asked.

"My brother has been wearing a jade pendant. It was consecrated in a temple, and my brother's name was engraved on it. The jade pendant was found by the lake." The girl thought for a while, "Actually, I have already searched for it in the lake. It's been a round, but nothing has been found."

'My body was entangled in water plants, and now half of my body is buried in the mud. '

'I can't get out of this lake. '

What the water ghost said earlier echoed in his ears.

Naturally, he couldn't find it, because these days, his body was almost integrated with the aquatic plants at the bottom of the water.

There was no moment to see the light of day again.

"My mother said that it might be a good thing that nothing was found. Some people in the family have begun to suspect that something happened to my brother who hasn't come back after going out for so long." The girl said: "That fake Taoist fanned the flames and picked up my parents... ...not a good thing anyway.”

Halfway through the conversation, the girl suddenly realized something, she stopped talking like a cover-up, and lowered her head.

Shi Yan looked at the bronze mirror placed on the dressing table next to him. The mirror surface tended to be yellowish, but it could still clearly reflect the appearance of people. The lights in the room flickered for a moment.

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly.

He saw his reflection in the mirror change for a moment.

A girl's figure appeared vaguely, but the flickering speed was very fast, and the reflection at that moment seemed to be the illusion of a teenager's dazzled eyes.

Yan Qing next to her was rubbing her chin thoughtfully, the girl's pretty face was full of thought, she paused for a moment, then raised her head to look at the girl in front of her, with a cute and innocent smile on her lips.

"Ah, let me guess. Did they agree with the Taoist priest's idea, such as something crashed at home, and they need something red to cheer?"

The girl's tone was brisk, and she also had a smile on her face when she spoke. She looked pure and innocent, but her obsidian-like black and white eyes were unconsciously squinted, revealing a vicious look that didn't match the temperament of the little white flowers around her.

"Actually, you have all understood in your heart for so long that there is a high probability that your brother is no longer alive. It's just a matter of time to find the body, but you are still unwilling to accept this fact. You would rather find someone's life to rejoice..." Yan Qing tilted his head :

This word is like some kind of taboo. The girl who had a strange expression seemed to be burned, and her whole body trembled. She suddenly raised her head and retorted: "No! My brother will be fine. When my brother comes back, that The woman can be considered my sister-in-law, and I won't treat her badly if she is hired..."

"What if your brother doesn't come back?"

Shi Yan withdrew his attention from the bronze mirror, turned around slowly, and spoke.

The girl was speechless for a moment.

Judging from such a long search and salvage, she has long since stopped doubting whether her brother is still alive, but the elders in the family still refuse to accept it, and the Taoist priest was also found by someone from the older generation. Missing.

"...It doesn't count, who said my brother is already dead?" The girl murmured: "In fact, she didn't suffer a lot. If it wasn't because of her brother's sudden disappearance, the girl's family wouldn't have died in a few lifetimes." She was chosen by us, if my brother comes back, she will get a big deal—"

The girl suddenly stopped.

She pursed her lips, and her voice slowly weakened: "...if she was still alive at that time."

Yan Qing caught something, she bent her lips, and the girl smiled softly and kindly, with a bit of affinity: "Don't be nervous. We are also people who have learned real skills, and we can probably understand a little bit about my brother who is not good at learning. Some strange methods... This marriage is not just for joy, right?"

When the girl mentioned the word 'senior brother', her face was neither red nor her heart skipped a beat, and her expression didn't change a bit, as if her identity was really the junior sister of a Taoist priest, and it was difficult to find out even a slight flaw.

Shi Yan slowly looked away.

——Yes, that's the expression.

The little girl who is used to coaxing people, uses her innocent expression to deceive people without changing her face.

She probably didn't believe what she said.

The girl pursed her lips tightly.

Her hands were fiddling with the corners of her clothes uneasily, as if she was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.

The girl raised her head in a little bewilderment, and met the comforting eyes of the pretty little girl in front of her.

"Trust us, we will help you." Yan Qing bent his eyes, with a hint of coaxing in his tone: "Actually, you don't really agree with their actions, do you?"

The girl nodded subconsciously, and she pursed her lips.

"Marriage is just one aspect... In fact, except for a small number of people in the family, not many people know the existence of this marriage."

"The Taoist said, my brother didn't die, but he was trapped in the lake, his soul was separated from his body, and he couldn't come back. In order to summon the soul, the best way is to find the blood of the family members as a primer, and call the soul out ..."

The girl exhaled slowly, and she closed her eyes: "It's not enough to take a little blood, it's almost like a sacrifice to summon the soul, and the Taoist said that it may not be successful."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The status of a newlywed wife... Although the success rate is not as high as that of blood relatives, it is still eligible. Moreover, that Taoist specially calculated the birth date. If you use that girl, the probability will be higher than that of our family." Girls Said: "Actually, if the married girl can survive this test, she will surely enjoy a happy life when my brother comes back. It can't be said that we used it to treat her badly, right? Their family also got a dowry. "

She repeated it unconsciously, as if trying to convince herself.

Yan Qing was thoughtful.

Shi Yan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the girl beside him.

Yan Qing raised her head, she pursed her lips, turned her head, her expression remained unchanged: "Can you show us your brother's photo?"

Although in most cases it is possible to fight against water ghosts, there is no definite evidence and no conclusion can be made.
