100. Chapter 20: Ghost Road
When I saw the three words Lan Xiaoqi, the questions in my mind disappeared without a trace.
The mysterious person who just sent me a text message, I felt that he was lying to me, or that he was trying to make me suspicious of Lan Xiaoqixin.
The strength of a team is not the key, the key is whether the team is united. If everyone in the team is suspicious of each other, I think the final solution of this team is to break it without any attack.
As for whom the mysterious person who sent the text message, I already have a candidate in my mind.
I guess the person who sent the text message might be the fake Lan Xiaoqi.
I did block her mobile phone number before, but this does not mean that she will not contact me with another mobile phone number.
Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief first, and then immediately picked up my cell phone to answer the phone.
"Brother Lang, where are you now?" I heard Lan Xiaoqi's voice as soon as the phone was connected.
I said: I'm having a meal outside, I'll go find you wherever you are.
"Youdao Teahouse." Lan Xiaoqi reported an address and hung up the phone.
Jiang Bo and Changsheng, who were eating noodles, raised their heads and looked at me in confusion.
I said to them: I have something to do now, so you can go back quickly after you finish your meal.
To be honest, I am indeed a little worried about eternal life now. Although Jiang Bo will not harm eternal life, no one can guarantee whether this old boy will do anything out of the ordinary.
Then I thought, Changsheng also had his wife and sister. Although his wife and sister were not strong during the day, they could be informed. Moreover, his wife and sister’s experience was no less than mine. If the old man Jiang wanted to be scheming, Changsheng’s wife and sister would also remind him.
Thinking of this, I felt relieved.
"Don't worry, boy, I won't touch the boss in this situation now. Not to mention that even if someone else wants to harm the boss, I have to step over my body first." Jiang Bo took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, saying to me.
I nodded, touched Changsheng's head, and told him to be obedient. Changsheng nodded to me while eating noodles.
After leaving the noodle shop, I went straight to the express shop. After picking up the car at the express shop, I drove straight to Youdao Teahouse.
But before I could arrive at Youdao Teahouse, I received another call from Lan Xiaoqi.
"Brother Ah Lang, there are plenty of teahouses in Youdao. We will meet on Bingshi Street."
Before I could speak, Lan Xiaoqi hung up the phone.
I put down my phone and felt a little confused. Youdao Teahouse is more than one street and two streets away from Huashi Street. Even if there is a lot of teahouses, there are many places to chat nearby. Why do you want to go to Huashi Street?
Although I couldn't figure it out, I turned the steering wheel and turned around and drove towards Fujin Street.
Before I could open the Bingshi Street, my phone rang again.
I picked it up and took a look. It was still called by Lan Xiaoqi.
After answering, Lan Xiaoqi said: "Brother Lang, the road is blocked, so I won't go to Fushi Street. Let's meet in the crematorium in the suburbs."
Still, before I could speak, Lan Xiaoqi hung up the phone.
This time I really felt something was wrong. There was no one walking on the road on Fushi Street, so why was there a traffic jam? Not to mention anything else, the city is not big, and even the secondary city is not involved. Apart from traffic accidents, there will be no traffic jam during the day!
After thinking for a while, I felt that Lan Xiaoqi should have something to say in her episode. She said two addresses in a row, but she didn't go there in the end. It was definitely not that there was a problem with the address during this period, but that it was that there was a problem with her.
After a moment of silence, I turned my head and headed towards the lost crematorium.
There is only one crematorium in the city and it is in the suburbs, so I am not afraid of running away from the wrong place.
What made me a little crazy was that before I could drive out the car two miles away this time, my phone rang again.
"Brother Alang, the crematorium is closed, let's go to the museum in the city center."
I went to the fucking crematorium and closed the door!
You fucked me and didn't go to cremation. Is the crematorium that is in charge of me closed?
I was about to speak, but Lan Xiaoqi hung up the phone again. This time I didn't choose to continue to endure, but dialed the phone directly.
After five or six sounds, the opposite person prompted that the phone number you were dialing was on the phone.
I was so angry that I almost threw my phone to the ground, knowing that it must be Lan Xiaoqi hanging up my phone.
There is no way, the museum is just a museum. Anyway, he has run so many detours, and it is not that bad.
I sighed, continued to turn my head toward the museum in the city center.
On the way, I received another call from Lan Xiaoqi, as if nothing unexpected happened.
"Brother Alang, the museum was stolen and blocked. Let's go to the sports center in the city."
This time I didn't continue driving forward, but parked the car on the side of the road, waiting for Lan Xiaoqi's call.
Now it seems that the problem is not the location, but Lan Xiaoqi. I think Lan Xiaoqi has been deliberately taking a detour, first there are Taoist teahouses, Huashi Street, crematoriums, museums, and finally the sports center.
These locations are not on the same line, and the distance is not close, so Lan Xiaoqi will not fool me for no reason.
I calmed down and lit a cigarette while smoking.
Sure enough, five minutes later, I received a call from Lan Xiaoqi again.
"Brother Lang, come to the Zizhu Forest."
When I heard the three words "Purple Bamboo Forest", I felt that the address should not be wrong this time.
After hanging up the phone, I started the car and drove towards Zizhulin. As expected, I never received a call from Lan Xiaoqi along the way.
After arriving at the Zizhu Forest, I got out of the car and walked straight in.
I didn’t deliver the express delivery today, and I don’t have to hurry to deliver it. Anyway, the people in the Zizhu Forest are not living people, so express delivery should not be of much use to them.
After spending a walk around Zizhulin, I couldn't find Lan Xiaoqi's person. Just when I couldn't help calling her to ask what was going on, Lan Xiaoqi called first.
After answering the call, I was afraid that it was the same as last few times, so I immediately said: Where are you now? Why didn’t I see you in the purple bamboo forest? What the hell is going on!
"Brother Lang, don't worry. I'm in the convenience store opposite Zizhu Forest. Come here to find me. I'll tell you what happened when we meet."
I put down my cell phone, raised my legs and walked out of the purple bamboo forest, and headed towards the convenience store opposite.
After entering the convenience store, I saw Lan Xiaoqi sitting there drinking milk tea in the booth.
Lan Xiaoqi must have arrived not long ago, and she looked a little dusty and seemed to be on the road.
When I walked to Lan Xiaoqi, I sat opposite her, with a little bad face, and I also ordered a cup of milk tea.
Waiting for the waiter to bring the milk tea, Lan Xiaoqi then smiled and said to me: Brother Lang, it’s been hard for him to run so far.
"What the hell happened?" I asked.
Lan Xiaoqi pondered for a moment and told me: I was followed by someone. The man followed me all the way, and I have been following me from western Sichuan to here. I have been to all the places I just told you, but I have transferred several cars on the way and I have only gotten rid of him now.
Hearing this, I was shocked, and at the same time I suddenly realized why Lan Xiaoqi asked me to go to so many places in a row.
"I was afraid that you would be followed, so I called you to inform you to follow me. Actually, I had just arrived at Zizhu Forest for a while, but I didn't go in, but sat here and watched. After I saw you enter Zizhu Forest, I kept waiting. I found that you were being followed. Then I asked you to come over." Lan Xiaoqi took a sip of milk tea and said in a low voice.
I nodded, and the displeasure in my heart disappeared immediately. On the contrary, I couldn't help but like Lan Xiaoqi's wit.
After I started talking, I felt relieved. After chatting for a while, I began to turn the topic to the main topic.
Lan Xiaoqi took a sip of milk tea and looked around, then asked me: Brother Lang, did I see you drive here?
I said yes.
Lan Xiaoqi picked up the milk tea and said to me: Let's go to your car and talk.
Although the convenience store is only at the waiter, I can only go to the car to say it for security.
I nodded and paid to get in the car with Lan Xiaoqi.
After getting in the car, I didn't dare to park the car on the side of the road, but kept spinning around the purple bamboo forest.
While driving, I kept staring at the rearview mirror. Seeing that no one was following us, I rushed to Lan Xiaoqi in the passenger seat and said: Have you found a ghost road?
Lan Xiaoqi pointed his head seriously and said: I have found out how to go to the underworld. If Brother Lang is fine, I think we might have to set off soon.
Although I was eager to break the curse on my body, I still didn't understand why I was so anxious.
Lan Xiaoqi seemed to see my doubts, took a sip of milk tea, and Lan Xiaoqi said to me: Brother Lang still remembers the prompt on the package?
Tips on the package?
The package must be the one given to me by Uncle Chen. As for the prompt, which one is it?
I frowned and thought for a long time, but finally a thunder blew across my mind, which immediately made me wake up.
"You are talking about the prompt that the package must be delivered before that full moon night?" I clearly remember that last time I did receive a prompt about the package, which said that I must deliver the package before full moon night, otherwise it would be destroyed.
The full moon night is August 15th. Now there are not many days before August 15th. In other words, we don’t have much time left.
That's right, it's the prompt. Lan Xiaoqi nodded and said: I don't know why the prompt appears, but I'm sure the prompt is definitely not just a joke.
While talking, Lan Xiaoqi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to me.
I held the steering wheel while picking up the paper and took a look. The words written on the paper were exactly the same as the prompts I saw last time.
In other words, Lan Xiaoqi also received the same prompt.
However, now I am the most curious about the package.
The package was followed by me before, and the ghosts remained undispersed. Even if I threw it away, I could see it appear outside the door the next morning, but the package never appeared after it was taken away by Lan Xiaoqi.
Thinking of this, I asked the mystery in my heart in confusion.
Lan Xiaoqi smiled slightly, tidied his hair with his hands, and said to me: Brother Lang, we have the same identities and are both people who are deeply trapped in curses. Although Wu Niang took away our souls, the curse on us is still there. The package that keeps gloomy following you because you have the power of curses. And I am the same.
I understand that the reason why the parcel follows us is because we are all cursed people.
"I'm fine lately and can set off at any time, but I'll tell you something first." I thought for a while and prepared to tell Lan Xiaoqi about the need for five people to go to the underworld.
Lan Xiaoqi said: I have something to say, too.
I said again: Your affairs are more important, please talk about them first.
