my brother and plan to hide in the car and try summoning him.As I stepped out of the alley, several women stopped me."Little girl, are there really dead people inside" a woman asked me in a panicked...Xie Ge looked pretty disheveled too. He probably tried to meet me in secret, but didn't expect me to suddenly disappear, right

Seeing him rush straight to the border checkpoint's security management office, he must be trying to contact Sister Lu.

This can't be done!

If Lu Jie knew I hadn't accomplished anything and almost got silenced, she would definitely threaten me again, and even directly expose my family affairs.

But...

I frowned.

We also can't let Sister Lu know the true situation about that mine, or that man.

Then Sister Lu might find a way to silence me.

She once said that it was a good thing that man died, otherwise his existence would have affected her career.

To remain in this half-dead state on the border would also pose a great threat to Sister Lu. She might try every means to erase his existence, and then I, as someone who has seen it with my own eyes and knows the secret, would definitely be a thorn in her side.

She's gone a little crazy now.

A woman with no way out, immense pressure, and on the verge of collapse can do anything.

Xie Ge... should also be her confidante, right

People's hearts are hard to fathom, I still need to be cautious.

But I urgently need Xie Ge's help now. I have no phone or money, how can I carry this "corpse" back home

Thinking about this, I quickened my pace towards the small building where Xie Ge had entered. As I passed a restaurant that had just set up outdoor seating, I casually "borrowed" a drying tablecloth and used it as a cloak to cover the person on my back.

As Xie Ge walked out of the building, he caught sight of me and froze for a moment. Then, he took off running towards me, grabbing my arm!

"You, you what did you do! Why are you here! I'm going crazy, you know! What if you disappeared overseas, were silenced What would happen What happened after you followed that woman into the backyard! Why can't my informants find you Do you know how many guests were dealt with secretly there afterward"

Xie Ge asked questions like a machine gun, my arm was almost broken by him.

"Brother Xie, Brother Xie, this isn't the place to talk...Can you..." I desperately winked at him.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "You wait here for me for a moment. I just reported your disappearance to the relevant authorities... Let me go handle it."

"That, Xie Ge, it's best to arrange some transportation..." I said softly.

He glared at me, said nothing, and hurried into the small building.

I don't know what his connection was to the people in official positions, but soon he drove out in a drab little pickup truck.

The back of the small truck looked messy, with a pole carrying two baskets inside.

"What are you looking at I borrowed this from a fellow villager. He often drives a truck to sell bananas. To sell his image as an honest farmer, he deliberately drives to tourist areas and carries them on a pole. He charges more than others and people still buy them… So many people out there are shrewd. Who's really innocent"

Xie Ge whispered, "What are you carrying on your back Put it in the basket and hurry up."

"Um... can't put it in the basket, so let's just put it on the backseat. Just sit with me."

He was too lazy to ask, gesturing for me to get in the car quickly.

I struggled to shove Ms. Xue’s rigid “body” inside. Whether it was a corpse, I couldn't be sure. But now, away from the loneliness and danger, fear started to creep in.

I carried her all the way.

The coolness on her chest and the warmth on my back had long since mingled, but she remained still, her limbs stiff and unmoving.

The whole person was shrunken and thin, looking like a corpse.

I put her in the backseat, wrapped her up in a tablecloth. I thought about it for a moment and then worried she wouldn't be able to breathe properly, so I opened a small gap at the top of the wrapping.

Xie Ge was confused and asked, “What did you bring Did you carry a Buddha out”

Maybe I mean, my dad likes her, so...

After she went missing, my dad pretended to be calm on the surface, but actually went out many times.

Actually, a woman who is independent and self-sufficient, willing to have a child for a man, must have some true feelings.

"What are you daydreaming for! Get in the car, it's not safe here!" Xie Ge urged me.

"Oh, oh..." I quickly opened the other car door and got in.

Xie Ge said that this is a border checkpoint, where dragons and snakes are mixed, with many informants and secret agents. He said that my information might have already been leaked.

After you left with that woman, I was about to contact my informants to check on your situation. Just as I returned to the front yard, I found everyone who came to gamble for stones unconscious inside the bamboo hut... You mentioned before that the fragrance of dried flowers was suspicious, and I thought it might be taking effect right now. So I jumped into the water and hid under the bamboo building.

I saw someone drag away one of the men, the same one who had been talking to you before. He was taken away. I met with my informant again, and he told me there seemed to be some movement in the backyard, and he heard several splashing sounds—probably drowning traitors or intruders.

“I was so anxious, I didn't know if you were alright. In the end, I followed the lead and risked sneaking in. There was someone in a red dress directing everything… Isn't this the boss of this place Mrs. Lu’s husband How come he hasn't shown up even with such a big incident”

He naturally couldn't show his face; that bamboo hut even concealed the moonlight, and talismans hung high, doing their best to suppress the ghostly energy from refining the little demon.

People who get backlashed, they basically become a wreck if they survive, right After enduring this "master," you can then "adopt" these little ghosts that have been refined.

Big sister must have come up with this idea, right She's good at acupuncture and exorcism, having grown up in my family.

Now Sister Lu's husband is just a puppet, and the "divine spirit" known as the Jade Spirit by the underworld, is the little ghost that was refined.

Xie Ge was still waiting for my answer, keeping glancing at me from the rearview mirror.

I adjusted my expression and smiled, "I did hear some things, I escaped through the waterways... But the specifics need to be discussed with Sister Lu directly. Sister Lu didn't tell me everything, and I don't have the capacity to handle it myself. When I get back, I'll discuss it in detail with Sister Lu. Maybe she'll need to bring in someone else."

"Xie Ge frowned deeply: "This serious I know black magic is prevalent here, but I haven't actually encountered it in reality. I thought it was just a legend... Why did you escape with this thing on your back What is it"

"...Uh, yes, yes...a, a patient." I really didn't know whether to say it was a person, or...or a corpse.

Xie Ge was startled, slammed on the brakes with one foot, bringing the car to a stop on the side of the dirt road. He got out and ran over to pull open the car door, ready to check it out.

"You, you actually brought back a corpse! Could you explain yourself properly! What if you were caught at the train station with this body! Who is it!"

Xie Ge roared two sentences and reached out to rip open the tablecloth covering Ms. Xue's table!woman as a lead to investigate the Dragon King... isn't that a win-win" Old Dad whispered.I still shook my head: "Find her a hotel in the back alley. I absolutely won't let her stay in our house.""Ok...
