White Snake Demonstration Walk

Chapter 14
"It doesn't seem to work!"

After listening to Qiao Chen'an's words, Xu Xian hesitated.

Qiao Chen An Ran smiled and said, "Why not? It's absolutely fine to do what I say."

Xu Xiandao: "Not to mention whether the method you mentioned will work or not, but how can you guarantee that there will be no more homicide cases in the future? If something happens again, it will be an added crime..."

Qiao Chen'an had long expected that he would ask this question, so he said: "When I went out yesterday, I happened to meet an old fortune-teller who was exorcising ghosts, and after asking about it, I realized that the latest murder case in the county was all about a vicious beast. The ghost did it, the harmful ghost has been subdued by it, understand?"

The fact that the evil spirit was killed by him was too shocking to tell Xu Xian, but the person in front of him was really not very courageous, otherwise he wouldn't have been frightened to death by Bai Suzhen who accidentally drank realgar wine and showed his original shape.

Xu Xian hesitated and said, "That means there will be no more murders in the future? But if you do this, what if someone finds out?"

"A man should be broken when he is broken. What's the matter with the mother-in-law? What's more, do you have a better way now?"

Qiao Chen'an said helplessly, Xu Xian's character is really not likable, maybe because he has lived with his sister for so many years, he is more feminine, and in layman's terms he is just a "little subject".

Xu Xian frowned and thought for a moment, and finally stopped hesitating, and said, "I'll go back and tell my brother-in-law..."

……

At dusk, the news that the major murder case in Qiantang County had been solved suddenly spread, and the whole town was almost boiling!
When Qiao Chen'an arrived, he saw that the front of the county government office was already full of people. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a sea of ​​people. Li Gongfu stood in the middle of the crowd with his subordinates, and when he saw that almost everyone had come, he said loudly: "Fathers and elders, You have been shocked these days. Fortunately, the shocking murder case has been solved by me, and this is the culprit!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at an object on the ground, his face was full of awe, but in fact, only he himself understood how nervous he was at this moment, and if his plan was seen through, he might be even more guilty .

But at the moment, he couldn't care less. Seeing that he was about to have a beautiful wife, start a family and start a business, how could he be willing to go to jail, so he had to follow the advice of his cheap brother-in-law and treat him like a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Everyone looked at the ground following his fingers, and saw a scorched, one-foot-tall thing lying on the ground. It looked extremely hideous.

Everyone showed shock on their faces, and one person shouted: "Captain Li, what kind of strange thing is this, is it the murderer?"

Li Gongfu pretended to be calm and said: "Not bad!"

Turning to look at the person behind him, "Is this what you saw that day?"

That person was the man who said he saw the ghost that day. After hearing his words, he looked carefully at the charred corpse on the ground and stammered: "It was too dark that day, and I couldn't see clearly. But... it looks the same, it should be... it should not be wrong!"

Li Gongfu settled down for a moment, looked at each other with his two subordinates, and said loudly: "That's right! During my routine inspection today..."

He started to tell about his "heroic" experience of catching ghosts, and immediately everyone cheered, and they looked at him with undisguised admiration.

Qiao Chen'an heard it funny on the street, but this Li Gongfu is eloquent, and everyone was taken aback for a while.Now he can be regarded as having a job, and maybe he can get a lot of rewards afterwards. After this incident, it is time to find an auspicious day and sit on a beautiful family like a flower.

Just when he was about to leave, he saw a young man dressed in black and carrying a bag standing on the corner of the street. The hilts of two long swords were exposed behind his shoulders. He was dressed like a knight-errant and looked at the "ghost" at Li Gongfu's feet. With a glance, he pouted his lips, and said disdainfully: "I thought it was some kind of evil spirit, but it turned out to be a counterfeit..."

After saying that, he turned around and left without a trace.

Qiao Chen'an's heart moved slightly. If his five senses had not been greatly improved after practicing, he might not have heard the man's words.It stands to reason that what Li Gongfu did must be extremely confidential and only a few people knew about it, but this man could tell at a glance that this "monster" was a counterfeit, probably a Taoist priest or something.

So he secretly kept this person's appearance in his heart, maybe someday he would meet again.

……

The matter was temporarily resolved, and no one was killed in the next few days. Li Gongfu, who was still a little apprehensive, finally put his heart into his stomach, and began to concentrate on preparing for his marriage with Xu Jiaorong.

The people in Qiantang City no longer stayed in their homes at night, they walked out of their homes one after another, and the entire ancient city returned to its former prosperity.

As soon as this matter was over, Xu Xian came to the house again. Naturally, he was grateful and brought a piece of great news to himself——Xu Jiaorong was going to marry Li Gongfu, and the time was set in seven days After that, invite Qiao Chenan to be there.

Qiao Chenan had no objections, after seeing off Xu Xian, he couldn't help but think that now that Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu are also a couple, Bai Suzhen should be coming soon!

March day in the West Lake, the beauty on the Broken Bridge, misty rain Jiang Yueming, when can we meet again?
Time is like a white horse, and soon it will be the day when the two of them will hold a wedding in the east of Qiantang County.

Just after the hour passed, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums at the end of the alley, and the welcoming team finally came back. Four strong porters carried a big red sedan chair and walked steadily, surrounded by neighbors who were sending off their relatives. Everyone's face is filled with joy.

When the sedan chair was greeted to the door, someone led the bride off the sedan chair and walked towards the courtyard. Xu Jiaorong, dressed in a red robe and a red hijab, came to the hall. Li Gongfu was waiting there in the groom's official uniform. , with an unconcealable look of joy on his face.

The matchmaker put Xu Jiaorong's palm in Li Gongfu's hand and then retreated with a smile. There were relatives sitting beside her, and the person in charge shouted at the top of his voice: "Newlyweds, Li Gongfu, Xu Jiaorong, pay homage to the world..."

Life is great, but that's all.

……

In the courtyard, Xu Xian looked at the figure of his sister in the house, and thought of something, and even shed tears. Seeing this, Qiao Chenan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Isn't it a good thing that your sister got married? You should be happy, Why are you crying!"

Xu Xian sobbed softly, as if he didn't want anyone to see him like this, he turned his back and said, "You don't know, both my parents have died since I was a child, and I have always lived with my sister. She has been taking care of me all these years. I don't know how much I have suffered..."

Qiao Chen'an sighed softly, although Xu Xian's background is pitiful and worthy of sympathy, but who can understand the desolation in his heart?
Born an orphan in the previous life, he has never tasted the taste of family affection. The ups and downs, laughter and sorrows of more than ten years are all tasted by himself, and only he knows the taste.

It wasn't until he died and came to this world like a dream that he truly experienced the taste of family affection, just like a drowning person grabbing the last straw, naturally he cherishes it twice.

But his loneliness as a traveler cannot be eliminated no matter what. At night when he is alone, he often looks up at the starry sky. Can he find his happiness there?
