The ambulance nurses were still confused as they pulled the two hapless kidnappers out of the car.
They originally thought they were going to rescue a seriously injured patient, but the car crash was not serious and the two people had no external injuries.
The strange thing was that these two people who had no external injuries were foaming at the mouth, and for some unknown reason their chests kept bouncing and they were retching violently in a coma.
It looked like they were being tortured inhumanely… The policeman looked very strange: “What happened to these two people?”
The nurses looked at each other, not understanding what was going on: “Looking at the symptoms, could it be food poisoning?”
At the same time, everyone present smelled a strong stench coming from the robbers’ mouths and couldn’t help but frown. It seemed that the digestive systems of these two people were not very good and their bad breath was very serious.
Wei Xi also smelled the disgusting smell, and even the ghosts all dodged far away. The old lady ghosts sat on the roadside and wrapped their foot bindings back on their feet, explaining awkwardly: “It has been more than a hundred years since we untied them. They really didn’t stink that bad before.”
The unconscious little hostage not far away was also affected by the stench in the car. His peaceful sleeping face had thus turned a little blue after he was rescued. Fortunately, his mother who had found his child again did not notice anything unusual. She just hugged the child and cried loudly as if she had been pardoned.
Wei Xi had finished eating the apple by now and had nothing to do. So he stood there bored and listened to her crying, unmoved.
The people around him now focused their attention on him. Many people who had followed along to watch the excitement remembered everything that had just happened and began to whisper to each other –
“It seems that this young man was the one who figured out the car that kidnapped the child just now.”
“He even calculated the exact location of the car. I thought he was just making it up at first, but it turned out to be amazing!”
“What is this person’s background? He is so young, could he really be a fortune teller?”
“The kidnappers’ car was driving fine but crashed into a telephone pole. Could it be that they were cursed by him?”
“Besides, are all fortune tellers so good-looking these days? He and the tall guy next to him, oh my god, I really want to ask for their phone number.”
The crying mother holding her child came to her senses upon hearing the discussions around her and ran towards Wei Xi with tears in her eyes. Wei Xi subconsciously raised his hands to protect his disciple and looked at her warily, only to see her stop and bow with tears streaming down her face: “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
Wei Xi: “?”
He listened to the strange woman’s words of thanks and the faint praises from the people around him, and for a moment he was at a loss as to what to do. He felt that the situation was more troublesome than encountering a demon.
The second disciple behind him whispered, “She is thanking you.”
Wei Xi frowned and became irritated for no reason: “Hurry up and let her go away.”
The apprentice did not move, but calmly asked him: “Why don’t you say it yourself?”
Wei Xi’s lips moved but he was unable to say anything. Instead, he was defeated by the strange woman’s tears and bumped into his apprentice.
He heard his apprentice sigh softly above his head, and then his shoulder was gently pressed.
Fortunately, the policeman who had sent off the ambulance came to help him out. He first comforted the mother who was crying and twitching, and then his complicated gaze fell on Wei Xi.
He looked Wei Xi and his group up and down, but he couldn’t figure out how this person knew the kidnappers’ route. His colleagues who went to investigate the surveillance hadn’t responded yet, but the criminals had been caught. He couldn’t help but think of the scene he saw when he knocked on the door of the unfinished building after receiving a complaint, with offerings and candles all over the floor and a solemn altar. He couldn’t help but feel a chill on his back.
Could it be true…?
Wei Xi was feeling inexplicably irritated, and when he noticed his scrutiny, he glanced back without any hesitation.
The young policeman was a little depressed by his glare. Seeing that he seemed difficult to talk to, he thought for a moment and turned his gaze to the group of people beside him who were gently comforting the victim’s family: “Sir, are you… some kind of hermit?”
The tall man smiled brightly when he heard this: “No, no!”
The young policeman thought that these hermits were quite humble.
The other party quickly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over: “Leader, please come often in the future. If you have business, you can contact me more often. My company guarantees that it will be done as quickly and well as this time!”
Young policeman: “…”
….
Later, everyone learned that the mother and son who were robbed were from a wealthy family. The two gangsters wanted to kidnap the child for ransom, and they had been planning for a long time. They stole several cars to hide their whereabouts and tracked and waited for more than a month before they found the opportunity when the mother and son came out alone. Everything was going as planned, but they were disrupted by a few pieces of foot binding cloth.
The victim’s family learned the address of Taicang Sect from Tuan Tuanyi and wanted to thank their savior at all costs. Wei Xi was scared when he saw the woman crying and thanking him, and he refused to come out even after several attempts to get him to come out. After much deliberation, the family decided to come to Taicang Sect to burn incense together.
The incense burner of Taicang Sect had been placed at the door of his house for so many days. Although no one was bored enough to come and burn incense, Wei Tianyi still got furious every time he saw it. Under the impact of this despair, he even gave into his stubbornness and ran away from home several times. However, every time he lived in a house outside, his sleep quality was greatly reduced, and he had to return home in disgrace and anger. What made him even angrier was his wife Shu Wanrong. He took Shu Wanrong with him when he ran away from home last time. It was obviously her who persuaded him to move out every day, but in the end, she took the initiative to propose to move back after living in the city for only a few days. When asked the reason, Shu Wanrong’s reason was that her skin condition in the house in the city was not as good as at home!
When he opened the gate to go to work that day, for the first time in his life, he did not see his little son sitting on the stepladder cleaning the stone tablet, nor did he meet the old neighbors gathered at the door of his house pointing at the incense burner and the stone tablet. His mood immediately became excited.
There were no bad things happening early in the morning, this was a rare good start!
As a result, before he stepped out of the gate, he suddenly heard noisy voices coming from not far away. He looked closely and saw the community security guard leading a large family in. The one leading the group was actually a boss from the same industry who he had dealt with before but not much contact with.
He hadn’t heard of this person having any contact with anyone nearby. When Wei Tianyi met the security guard’s hesitant look, he was stunned. As a result, he saw this group of people stop directly at the door of his house. After recognizing him, their attitude was quite polite: “Is it Mr. Wei?”
Hasn’t he come to see me? Why does he look so surprised? Wei Tianyi racked his brains for a long time and finally remembered that the two companies seemed to have some business to cooperate with recently. He was just about to communicate with the other party at a business level when he heard the next half of the man’s sentence: “Why are you here? Are you here to burn incense in Taicang Sect as well?”
Wei Tianyi: “…”
He finally saw what these people were holding. It was a bag full of incense and candles!!
And the question just now: How come you are here…
How come I am here…
This is my home!
Do any of you still remember it!!!
