Chapter 49 Meeting Qijiu

"Lingling?"

Qijiu, wearing a light blue Taoist robe, looked at Bai Lingyan in surprise.

"You are here too?"

"I thought it was someone else, but it's you."

The soul-calling bell has been ringing since he entered the town.

He thought it was broken.

In addition, someone suddenly put his hand on his shoulder from behind,

which really scared him.

Qijiu touched his head.

"I didn't expect to meet you here again."

"Why are you here?"

Bai Lingyan smiled.

"I came here to do something on the way."

"You didn't put on makeup today?"

Qijiu touched his head.

"Putting on makeup is also very troublesome, I won't put it on in the future."

"So how did you do your work?"

Bai Lingyan said, "Hmm.

" "Finished."

Qijiu said with some envy.

"Then you are really great."

Qijiu sighed.

"I can't do it anymore."

"If it happens again, my mind will be unstable."

"Lingling, what do you think I should do?"

"I feel guilty if I don't come."

"If I come again, I feel like I'll be useless."

Bai Lingyan:?

"Is it that serious?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Qijiu said,

"A victim asked me to help find the soul of his child. I'm going to his house now."

"But the child's soul has been lost for several years. It's very hard to find it. It can be said that it's very difficult to find it."

"Every year, the child's father asks me to come and help find it."

"But I always come back empty-handed."

In fact, he didn't want to come.

But the old father was so pitiful.

He decided to come here to give him some hope and comfort.

What if he finds it?

He won't charge for this order.

He won't accept it because he didn't find it and he was embarrassed to accept it.

Just treat it as a trip.

And temper your character by the way.

Who knows,

it was a good idea at the time, but his character collapsed as soon as he came.

Qijiu said,

"Every year when I come here, I feel like I'm getting worse."

"It's not hard for us to find souls, but I just can't find them."

This is very difficult.

He seems useless.

"Sometimes I can sense it, but when I go over there, it's gone."

"Isn't that weird?"

Sometimes he thought he was seeing things.

He picked up the soul-calling bell in his hand again.

"And this thing, it seems to be sick when it comes here."

"It keeps ringing."

He thought there were things in every direction.

He was a little paranoid.

Qijiu seemed to have thought of something.

"Lingling, are you in a hurry to leave?"

"If you're not in a hurry, can you come with me to take a look?"

"I don't think I can find it this time."

Seeing Qijiu's expectant eyes.

Bai Lingyan agreed.

"Okay."

He originally planned to go back with Qijiu.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the driver to leave him in the town.

It was nine o'clock in the morning.

Huo Qizhou should still be at work.

He could go back when he got off work.

And he had already made arrangements with his parents and brother.

He went to Huo Qizhou's house tonight for tutoring.

Bai Lingyan: It's really tutoring.

Qijiu's eyes lit up when he heard Bai Lingyan agreed.

"That's great!"

"With you here, maybe I can really get it back this time."

Moreover,

he can also give himself an explanation.

See what he is not good at.

And the uncle won't have to be disappointed again and again.

He doesn't have to report here every year.

After saying that,

the two walked towards a small alley with sycamore trees.

There was only one family at the end of the alley .

The yard was an old house with a tall gate and a large courtyard. It looked like a wealthy family.

Qijiu said,

"His family used to be the richest in the town."

"Since the child lost his soul, he has no intention of running the business, and it is far worse than before."

If it had continued to develop at the same momentum as before.

Maybe it would have entered the Beijing circle.

But now,

it is very low-key.

Even the development of the town has regressed for more than ten years.

He still remembers how lively the town was when he first came here.

Every year after that, it became worse and worse.

"It's a pity for their family."

They obviously have a bright future.

But suddenly such a thing happened.

At this time,

a man looking around was standing at the door of the gate.

Seeing them coming, he ran towards them.

"Master Qi!"

"You are here!"

The middle-aged man looked at Bai Lingyan on the side.

"Master Qi, who is this?"

Qijiu introduced.

"Your family is lucky this year, maybe the child's soul can be found."

The middle-aged man: !!!

"Really?"

"Can it really be found?"

"It's just that you mean good luck, I don't really understand."

The child has become like this now, how can their family's luck be good again.

Thinking of this,

The middle-aged man sighed.

Qijiu began to introduce Bai Lingyan to him.

"This is my friend, much more capable than me."

"I just happened to meet him on the way here, so I said your family is lucky."

"Lucky to meet him."

The middle-aged man understood.

The man next to him is very capable and may be able to help him.

"May I ask the master's surname?"

Qijiu said,

"My friend's surname is Bai."

The middle-aged man nodded.

"So it's Master Bai."

"Masters, please come in."

After Bai Lingyan went in, he saw a boy sitting under the sycamore tree next to the yard.

The boy was wearing a cotton and linen long gown, and his facial features were very beautiful.

His skin was abnormally white, probably because he didn't see much light for many years.

His eyes stared in a certain direction without blinking.

His body didn't move. He

just sat there stupidly.

Like a puppet without a soul.

Qijiu approached Bai Lingyan,

"That's the child I was talking about."

"He's thirteen this year, and his soul has been lost for seven years."

"It's been like this from seven years ago to now."

"He can't leave his side."

Bai Lingyan was a little surprised.

"Seven years?"

It's been so long.

Qijiu said "hmm".

"I come here every year."

"Unfortunately, I always come back empty-handed every year."

The middle-aged man came to the boy.

"This is my child Ziwei." "

He suddenly disappeared for three days in the summer seven years ago."

"When we found him one night three days later, he looked like this."

Bai Lingyan: ?

"Disappeared for three days?"

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Yes."

"We searched for a long time, and finally found him in a grove by the river in the town."

During those days,

almost everyone in the town was mobilized.

Some even thought he had drowned, and rowed boats to the river to salvage him.

They searched everywhere they could.

They didn't even let go of the surrounding mountains.

They searched until the second half of the night,

and finally found him in a grove by the river.

"When we found him."

"He was lying in the woods, and everyone thought he was dead."

"Even I thought so."
