C19 (1/2)
When the first rays of the morning sun shone into the old house, Fang Zishu had already packed up his things. Last night, he had been crying like a ghost, so regardless of whether it was directed at them or not, he had to investigate it thoroughly.
”Zi Shu, do you really want to go?”
The young man sat up with a hazy look in his eyes and looked at the book in confusion.
”Taking things out is very strange. They are definitely here for us. No matter what, I have to go investigate.”
Fang Zishu rolled his eyes. ”If you want to thoroughly understand the cause and effect of your tomb robbery, then go ahead and cancel it!”
”Alright!” Let's go now! ”
As soon as he heard that it could eliminate his karma, the cop got interested and quickly got up and packed up his stuff.
The two of them found the old man who had arranged them to stay at the village entrance the night before. After listening to Fang Zishu's narration, the old man's expression immediately changed, ”Aiya, two young brothers, I dare not speak carelessly!” This was not the wailing of a ghost, this was the sin of an angry god cleansing the world! It only appears when there's a thunderstorm! ”
”Tsk, and you want the God of Heaven to be angry and purge the mortal realm? ”Who the hell are you listening to?”
The policeman rolled his eyes and said, ”When the God of Heaven is angry, it's always stormy and thunderous. How could it be like this? This is clearly a dead child crying, alright! ”
”Aiyo!” The two little brothers didn't dare to speak carelessly! This is retribution! ”
The old man's face turned pale. He quickly waved his hand to signal the police not to spout nonsense and quickly ran away, afraid that he would be criticized by the God of Heaven if he caught up with the bad luck.
Fang Zishu frowned, ”This is definitely not some god's fury. Hehe, who knows what kind of people are causing this trouble!”
”Then what should we do? ”We have no idea what's going on, so we should find a local to ask!”
”Are you guys talking about the wailing of ghosts and babies in the rain?”
A middle-aged man holding a bucket of water stopped under a nearby tree and looked at the two of them with a smile.
”Big brother! Do you know the wailing of ghosts in the rain? ”
The man's eyes lit up as he hurriedly offered the cigarette. He carefully took the cigarette and sniffed the air, unwilling to part with it. Then, he quickly stuffed the entire pack of cigarettes in front of him.
”That ghost soul crying in the rain, it wasn't some god that got angry. Old Li's head must have been scared out of its wits!”
The police officer gave the man a spot. The man took a deep breath and completely let his guard down. Opening his chat, he told him what he knew.
His name was Chen Youdong and he was a local. That year, when he was collecting firewood in the mountains, it rained heavily halfway, so he had no choice but to go to the stone forest at the east end of the village. That stone forest was very old, and even the oldest person in the village didn't know the origins of this stone forest.
Those parents who went in to look for him also did not come out. Over time, this place became a restricted area, and if not for Chen Youdong's helplessness, he would not have gone out to seek shelter from the rain.
Following that, he heard the Ghost Infant's wails!
