Chapter 8: People of the Same Descent
"Thank you so much this time, otherwise we would have been deceived by this woman, and in the end our village's reputation would have been ruined by her..." Looking at Sister Wang who was taken away by the brigade, Lin Yuan hurriedly thanked the night watchman.
"No need, it was just a convenience, and this matter is not over yet, the soul of this child needs to be found, and the one who has become a ghost..." The night watchman looked up at the top of the river.
It seemed that something was gathering there.
Lin Qingzhi found a handful of melon seeds from somewhere, and looked at what was happening in the middle with a melon-eating face.
"Crack, crack..."
While looking at the resentment gathering on the river, the night watchman suddenly heard a voice that was very familiar to him.
He quickly turned his head to look at the place where the sound was coming from, and saw a handsome man looking at him, eating melon seeds while looking at him.
That look was very familiar, wasn't this his previous image?
This is a fellow traveler...
Suddenly, the night watchman felt that his mouth had lost its taste, and he quickly reached into his specially sewn pocket, only to find that the melon seeds were gone. That's not right! He remembered that there seemed to be two or three handfuls just now, how come they were gone!
Could it be that he remembered it wrong?
It should be that he remembered it wrong....
Licking his lips, the night watchman walked to Lin Qingzhi's side and said a little embarrassedly: "Hey! Friend, do you still have melon seeds?"
Lin Qingzhi looked at the night watchman indifferently, then took out a handful of melon seeds from his arms and put them in his hand.
"Thanks..."
"Crack! Crack..."
"Uh! Friend, did you buy these melon seeds from Lao Liu's Grocery Store in the town? You are indeed a fellow traveler! Even the melon seeds you like to eat are from the same store. By the way, Qian Yi, the bronze medal night watchman of Ping'an Town."
The night watchman, Qian Yi, said to Lin Qingzhi while eating melon seeds.
"Lin Qingzhi, from Linjiang Village, a scholar..." Lin Qingzhi replied with a smile.
"Oh! You are the scholar whose wife ran away from Ping'an Village, Wei San!" Qian Yi said with sudden enlightenment.
Lin Qingzhi's face darkened immediately after hearing this. If you can't speak, just shut up.
Qian Yi looked at Lin Qingzhi's dark face and felt that he seemed to have said something wrong. He quickly covered his mouth and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, it's my fault, Brother Lin, please forgive me..."
Seeing Qian Yi's sincere face, Lin Qingzhi nodded and forgave him.
"By the way, Brother Lin had better not go out tonight. Something bad may happen, but don't worry. With Qian, I won't let anything happen to you in Linjiang Village."
Qian Yi reminded him because Lin Qingzhi was a fellow traveler and gave him a handful of melon seeds.
"Okay, I'll go back to cook now, and then take the children to sleep after eating. Even if the sky falls, I won't care." After saying that, Lin Qingzhi turned around and left. There was no good show to watch here, and there were children waiting for him at home!
"As expected of a scholar who has read books, he just listens to advice. If other people listen to advice like this, fewer people will die..." Shaking his head, Qian Yi turned and walked towards Lin Yuan, the village chief.
Just now, Lin Yuan was arranging the future life of the dog, and he was busy now.
"Hey! Wasn't that Qingzhi just now? Where did he get the melon seeds? Hasn't he been in the village recently?..." Lin Yuan looked at the back of Lin Qingzhi leaving over there, and couldn't help muttering.
Blinking his eyes, Qian Yi suddenly felt as if he had caught something, but it slipped away quickly.
Lin Qingzhi held the melon seeds in his hand and walked towards his home while eating them.
Along the way, people in the village walked into the village in twos and threes.
They chatted and talked about what happened just now, and the most talked about thing was Sister Wang who was taken away by the officials.
"Ah! Brother Wang is also miserable. I heard from Brother Wang that he met his wife when he was fleeing, and then they got together. It is estimated that before fleeing, Sister Wang had a good friend, and that man is estimated to have been following Brother Wang..."
"That bitch is going to kill our village! Kill Brother Wang and let Brother Wang turn into a ghost to take his life. If she dies, she will die. What should our village do then! Fortunately, the night watchman came..."
"That's right, so it's said! Harming others will eventually harm yourself..."
"It's best not to go out tonight! The night watchman said that Brother Wang will definitely come back to take revenge tonight. The woman and her adulterer were arrested and taken to the town. If the murderer cannot be found, he will take it out on us in the end."
"Don't worry, the night watchman will guard in the village..."
Listening to these words, Lin Qingzhi was full of regrets for the Fishing King. Although he was not very familiar with the Fishing King, he had met him many times. Every time they met, he would greet him with a smile.
Many times when he came back from fishing and saw him, he would give him a fish.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingzhi felt that he should still protect the child Gou'er, and he should also help him find his lost soul, even if it was to repay the kindness of giving him the fish!
Thinking of this, he had already walked to the door of his home.
Looking around, seeing that there was no one around, Lin Qingzhi stretched out his right hand and slowly inserted it into the void.
His hand was like reaching into the calm water, and the void suddenly rippled.
The next moment.
He retracted his hand.
He saw an illusory figure standing quietly in the palm of his hand, which was the lost soul of the dog.
Lin Qingzhi nodded, slowly closed his hand, and then threw the soul in a direction not far away.
He stood there and waited for a moment.
Then, he heard a miserable child crying.
That was the cry from the dog.
Because the dog was brought home by his aunt, he could hear the dog's voice when he stood at the door of his house, not to mention that with his hearing, he could hear the dog even if the dog was crying in the town now.
He nodded.
After taking out the food and mutton bought in other towns, Lin Qingzhi pushed open the small door of his yard.
It seemed that he heard the sound of the yard door being pushed open.
Lin Fan took Lin Yao out of the house, and when he saw Lin Qingzhi again, he immediately shouted happily: "Daddy..."
"Daddy..."
Lin Fan had already woken up, and took Lin Yao who had woken up to eat the breakfast that Lin Qingzhi had left for them, and then they kept playing in the room.
Lin Qingzhi saw all of this with his spiritual consciousness. Although he left, his spiritual consciousness had always remained on his two children.
