Chapter 64: Xu Qi's Deduction

  This voice full of momentum is very similar to Liu Weimin, but he left less than two hours ago. How can it appear beside Xiao Mei?

  So I didn't answer. Shut down directly and discuss with Xu Qi. Wait for the discussion to come out with a result, then call back to explain that the phone is out of power.

  Xu Qi stroked the stubble on his chin. He couldn't figure out what was going on either. From a time perspective, Liu Weimin had been gone for two hours. If he had rushed all the way and happened to catch the plane, it was indeed possible for him to appear by Xiao Mei's side at this time, but why did he want to do so? His words also showed that they were strangers!

  Xu Qi couldn't help but smile and said with profound meaning: "Could it be a repeat name?"

  I said it's impossible, the three words "Liu Wei Min" don't have any magic power. Could all the ghost-catchers be named this? Moreover, that Liu Wei Min was invited by the old Chinese doctor to save his life, he didn't appear early or late. My Liu Wei Min left. Then another one pops up.

  When things go against the norm, they must be supernatural.

  He must be brewing up more trouble again, I have to deal with him carefully.

  I say there are only two possibilities for this matter, if Liu Weimin leaves Guan Cun Village and rushes to see Xiao Mei, then he is the friend of the old Chinese doctor and wants to clear his name in front of Xiao Mei for not helping when someone was dying.

  And the second possibility is that there are indeed two Liu Weimins, but one of them was delayed by something and has only just appeared.

  Xu Qi thought for a moment and asked me to recount the story of the old Chinese doctor without leaving out a single detail.

  As I spoke, Xu Ji's face turned solemn and said that my two ideas just now were unreasonable.

  Liu Weimin needs to clear his bad reputation has a necessary prerequisite, that is, he knows he left a bad name.

  From start to finish, I didn't tell Liu Weimin about the old Chinese doctor's note-taking incident. Moreover, when the old Chinese doctor contacted Liu Weimin, it was quite a hassle, indicating that they were not from the same circle of people. Therefore, the old Chinese doctor's granddaughter would be even less likely to have access to Liu Weimin's circle, and even if she spread the word in Sichuan about Liu Weimin's infamous refusal to help someone in need, it wouldn't damage his reputation.

  Xu Qi concluded: "Unless the old Chinese doctor has some secrets, Liu Weimin handled things here and had to appear in front of his family members. He reluctantly performed a play in front of Xiao Mei."

  As for the second possibility, Xu Qi didn't dare to confirm, but felt something was strange. He said that if it were him, because his own delay had cost an old friend's life, he should be very remorseful. Even if not showing on the surface, when communicating with me, the first thing to ask would be where we are and whether there is any danger. However, on the phone, that person just lightly said they could help me.

  Does it make a difference what I say?

  "There's a big difference, this is a matter of linguistic logic. For example, if you call the police now, they will first ask what help you need, and after you explain your situation, they should ask for your location, right? But in the old Chinese doctor's notes, it's clearly written that there's a ghost haunting your house, and the ghost harmed him, so the situation is clear. At this point, Liu Weimin should be catching ghosts and seeking revenge, but he didn't even mention the word 'ghost', don't you find that suspicious?"

  What's suspicious is yet to be inquired, but what shocked me was that Xu Qi actually blurted out the four words "language logic", isn't this something a Taoist should say?

  I asked dully: "How did you learn all this?"

  Xu Qi felt a bit embarrassed and explained that when he was bored in the mountains, he would also watch some messy books and movies, but these were just analytical evidence and could not thoroughly determine that this Liu Weimin had any ulterior motives.

  Xu Qi said: "This goes back to your original idea, if this Liu Weimin has something hidden, then the matter is just a coincidence. Does someone with this name have to be mysterious? Of course not, so I think there's a third possibility, that the old Chinese doctor deceived you!"

  I was amused by his Arabian Nights-like tale and couldn't help but ask him, why would an old Chinese doctor deceive me? Is he joking with my life?

  Xu Qi retorted: "Are you sure he's dead? Have you seen his corpse? Your body can also be considered a corpse now, have you died too?"

  A string of questions left me thoroughly confused, and I simply followed his words to ask: "But why did he want to do this?"

  He shook his head slightly and said that he had some ideas earlier, but it was not necessary for me to know them temporarily. Now that another Liu Weimin has appeared, there are some things that have to be said.

  He said that the dragon vein is not so easy to get, this thing can't be seen or touched, but it can be understood as a regular army, every time the dynasty changes, this army is scattered rather than slaughtered, people who have the ability to gather defeated soldiers and generals have the ability to counterattack, as long as they have desire.

  The earth is full of killing intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land. Xu Qi said that the Yellow River and Yangtze River must be hiding dragon veins, but ordinary people crossing the river would occasionally drown a few, let alone these two guys' plans. If they were lucky enough to find a small section of not-too-fierce dragon vein that had been domesticated by humans, it would truly be an extraordinary stroke of luck.

  I felt something was wrong when I heard this and asked him what he meant?

  Xu Qi explained: "The dragon vein is not a dragon, but a symbol of the flow of energy. Even if I knew there was a dragon vein here, apart from placing my own birth plate in the place where the dragon vein is hidden, or moving my ancestors' graves to this place, I really don't know what other method could be used to make it mine. But even so, it would be enough for me to enjoy all the glory and wealth. If the dragon vein were to be led into the body and turned around in a circle, I really don't know what kind of encounter there would be in the future."

  What are you talking about? This is no trivial matter, a good man goes unpunished, but he who harbors jade will be punished for it!

  Xu Qi sneered twice and said I was thinking too much. Liu Weimin is not a biological father, why would he send me wealth and nobility for no reason?

  I say, there's greater wealth and nobility waiting for him. The thing in the coffin is even more powerful than the dragon pulse, he did this to force it out of the coffin.

  Xu Qi slapped his thigh and said: "Right, he has a greater pursuit, so he shouldn't give up the help of Longmai even more. But he gave it to you instead. And Old Patriarch's favor towards you is also unusual. Moreover, he used your blood to open that coffin, there must be something fishy going on here! Although I don't see anything special about you, if there is, then Old Doctor would have a reason to deceive you!"

  Although I don't think there's anything special about myself, Xu Ji's words are all reasonable, especially the final summary. He said that what deceived me was not the old Chinese doctor, but that notebook.

  Xu Qi made an assumption, and now it can be confirmed that the ghost entwining Wen Jing is related to Huang Jinbai. If those ghosts harmed the old Chinese doctor, forged a note, and made us suspect Liu Weimin's character, it would make sense.

  But I asked him, if it was forged by Huang Jinbao, how could Liu Weimin appear out of nowhere?

  Xu Qi said with a dark face: "I'm making an analogy, not stating facts. Anyway, you haven't escaped danger yet, that's all that matters. Actually, I have another idea, but your thinking can't keep up, so I won't tell you for now. No matter who the person is who called you, we'll adapt to any situation, they probably won't kill you directly, right?"

  I turned on the phone and called Xiaomei, she asked me why I suddenly hung up, so I casually made up a nonsense and asked if Liu Lao was still there, then the phone was handed over to someone else.

  The old man who called himself Liu Weimin asked me where I was and what the situation was, I said there's nothing going on, met a Taoist priest from Longhushan, he has already gotten rid of the ghost that was haunting us.

  The old man was silent for a moment and said he wanted to meet with me and understand some things.

  Xu Qi blinked her eyes and whispered: "See, I knew he wouldn't give up. Let's agree to it."

  I said into the phone, now in a foreign land, so the old man let us contact Xiao Mei after we return.

  Then I asked Xu Qi what to do, he said he still had things to deal with and couldn't accompany me home. In the future when meeting that old man, be cautious and careful in words and actions.

  After finishing speaking, he still wants to go and ask the villagers about some situations, letting me have a good rest, best to return home as soon as possible, so as not to make another mistake.

  Although I'm not considered a living person now, I feel no different from the living. After being tormented by Liu Weimin to exhaustion, as soon as Xu Qi left, I slipped into Kang Jiuxiang's room. Originally, I still wanted to do something, but unexpectedly fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.

  As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a face close to mine. Kang Jiuxiang had already woken up and was hugging my neck, lost in thought. Although we had an agreement, this intimate gesture still made me feel a bit awkward. When she saw that I was awake, she quickly pulled back her arm and whispered, "Your clothes are too dirty, I washed them all for you."

  It wasn't until then that I realized I had been stripped bare, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. I hastily changed the subject, telling her to go back to the Huang's place to gather her things, while I went to see You Wu and Xu Qi. If there was nothing else going on, I planned to head home.

  Kang Jiuxiang was taken aback and suddenly turned her head to ask me: "You're leaving, what am I supposed to do?"

  I said you're coming back with me of course.

  She shook her head dejectedly: "I won't leave, I want to stay in Guan Cun Village to mourn for Father, and you shouldn't leave either. The money left by Father is enough for us to live on, and it's close to Longhu Mountain, so we can often meet with Xu Daochang."

  Isn't this a joke? Let's not talk about whether I can bear to part with my family, but even if I live in Old Huang's house, what would that make me? A son-in-law who marries into the wife's family?

  I said to Jiuxiang sister, you don't have to stay in the Huang family to observe filial piety, why not come with me instead.

  Kang Jiuxiang stubbornly said she had to take care of Huang Jinbao's grave.

  I said you'd better hurry up, Huang Lao's flesh was eaten by insects, and that piece of skin also rotted away later, where is his grave now?

  I have no respect for Old Man Huang, but Kang Jiuxiang is extremely close to him. She suddenly turned red-eyed and glared at me with a pouting mouth. I said you can glare at me all you want, if it wasn't for your godfather bullying my cousin, I wouldn't be in this state now?

  Kang Jiuxiang didn't say a word, I mumbled a few more sentences and urged her to pack up, my heart still thinking of Wenjing, waiting for her to leave before calling Wenjing.

  Ke Kangjiu Xiang refused again, saying she wouldn't leave Guan Cun Village. If I truly cared for her, I should stay with her here.

  I solemnly told her that staying was absolutely impossible, and if she insisted again, I would have Xu Qi knock her out and take her away. Now that Huang Jinbai is dead, she has no one to rely on in the village. I would rather tie her up and bully her myself than let the village's scoundrels and rascals take advantage of her.

  With great difficulty, Kang Jiuxiang still refused to give in. I was about to lose my temper when the door was knocked loudly. You Wudi shouted from outside: "What time is it already? Hurry up and get out of bed to accompany me to find Little White Sister, I've been waiting for a whole morning!"

  As soon as I heard You Wu's voice, my little heart skipped a beat. I hastily grabbed the quilt and wrapped Kang Jiuxiang tightly in it, then jumped out of bed to open the door for You Wu.

  His face was wrapped in a circle of gauze, looking like a living mummy. As soon as I opened the door, he grabbed my hand and said: "Hurry up, hurry up! I helped you save Wenjing, now you have to help me find Little White Sister!"

  I carefully asked him: "Where to rescue?"
