Traveling through the world of Paper Wedding Dress

Chapter 170 Return to the Old House

"Although there are many evil things in this village, they are all concentrated in places with heavy yin energy. It's not dark yet, there shouldn't be anything on the road in the village." Granny Tang took out her smartphone again and used the camera to check around. Xi Yueyao looked at Xiao Chi in confusion, and Xiao Chi spread his hands and pouted to show that he didn't understand either.

"I don't see anything blocking the way. If someone is trying to stop you, they're not outside. Who knows where they might be hiding. Go look inside the house."

"Thank you, Yubaba. Let's go look for her."

"Mother-in-law, there is one more thing. I often forget what I have done recently. I don't know what evil disease it is. Can you cure it?" Xiao Chi thought about what had happened to his body recently and the weird and supernatural things, so he actually asked for advice from the witch he had least believed in before.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the mother-in-law told him to believe in science: "What disease? Do you have Alzheimer's? If you are sick, you should go to the hospital. Why would you go to a fortune teller to treat you? How can you, a city doctor, still believe in superstition?"

"Grandma Tang, please ignore him. He is a patient in our hospital and he always talks nonsense." Xi Yueyao glanced at Xiao Chi and said to her grandmother with a smile.

Xiao Chi looked at Xi Yueyao in a daze. Xiao Xi would politely keep a certain social distance with most people and would only joke with people she was very close to. It seemed that she and the old witch were quite compatible.

"Patient? Isn't that a doctor? Eh? The Doctor Xiao who changed his career to become a patient? I seem to have some impression of him..." the mother-in-law recalled.

Xiao Chi: "I've always felt that there is something guiding us. It seems that they won't let us leave until we find the reason."

Xi Yueyao sighed and accepted the fact that she could only continue exploring the village.

"There seems to be a room underneath the place where I fell just now. Your family is really interesting. There are people who dig traps in their own home?" Xi Yueyao said jokingly as he looked at the extra hole in the room.

"There is a ladder below, but it's too dangerous to jump down from this height." Xiao Chi said as he looked around.

"Hold my hand and let me down. When the height is right, let go. I often jumped off the wall when I was a kid. As long as you are careful when you land, you won't get hurt."

The two of them successfully entered the cave. There was a small space underground, which looked like a shrine where something was enshrined.

"I remember that when I was a child, my father often brought me to this secret room to worship the Six Burial Bodhisattvas. Originally there was a secret door on it, but it seemed to have been removed by someone. At that time, my father always forced me to recite some inexplicable ancient books. I was very resistant at the time, and often made mistakes on purpose, and was often beaten." This memory was not a good one for him, and his expression looked a little ugly when he recalled it now.

"I have some impression that your father is quite scary. He talks about family mission every day. If our two families were not relatives, I am afraid I would be scolded and sent away, so as not to delay your great cause."

"We are relatives for more than ten generations, right? If we really go by seniority, you are still mine..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xi Yueyao: "Stop talking nonsense. Our top priority now is to find a way to leave this village."

Xiao Chi took the copper ore from the tree and said, "Before, I thought I was you, and I thought I couldn't touch the things on the tree. It turns out it's not hung that high." Xiao Chi secretly looked at Xi Yueyao's height.

Xi Yueyao immediately retorted: "I can touch it even if I jump up. Don't forget that I am very good at this. You don't think you are me because you have an amputation."

"It would be a great loss to the world if a handsome and outstanding single young man like me had his limbs amputated."

Xi Yueyao narrowed her eyes slightly at the boastful person in front of her: "You are always comparing yourself with the patients and have an illusion. For example, if a certain patient did not lose an eye, he would be more popular with female patients and nurses than you."

Xiao Chi glanced at her and said, "So that's the type you like. It's a pity that you were born a thousand years later, otherwise you could have created a wonderful story with Xiahou Dun."

Xi Yueyao rolled her eyes at him.

The two continued to look for clues. Xiao Chi looked at Xi Yueyao's skillful search for things and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why do you seem so familiar with these routines?"

"When I was looking for you before, I met a few people outside the village. One of them was a girl who had been to Zangling Village. She was one of my patients at the time. Her name was Tao Mengyan. She said that Zangling Village was full of these decryption things. I followed her and learned a little bit. An old man even called her a paper bride. I don't know why."

"It sounds like she has a long story with this village, but why did she come back again this time?"

Xi Yueyao didn't know either.

When he was about to look for something in the small shed next to the house, Xiao Chi suddenly covered his face and said, "If I don't have the ability to see that kind of thing, how do you explain the situation in front of me?"

Xi Yueyao looked at the normal scene in front of her and was a little confused as there were no supernatural things or strange objects. "What's going on?"

"The two patients, number 57 and number 31... and Nurse Xue... they followed me all the way from the hospital to here. Maybe they wanted to kill me... didn't you see it?"

Xi Yueyao looked at it carefully and said, "No. I think you may have some hallucinations. They are illusions you see because of your guilt."

"Wait a minute, why is it that if you can see it, it's the Yin-Yang eyes, but if I can see it, it's a mental illness? You are unreasonable."

"You want to reason with a schizophrenic? Let me tell you, you said you saw the ghost of Nurse Xue? That's impossible, because she was rescued and is alive and well."

After hearing Xi Yueyao's words, Xiao Chi looked carefully and found that the puppets he had seen before had disappeared: "So...are these my inner demons...I was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder after I was arrested, and then I was locked up in a closed ward. The dean didn't even allow me to communicate with other medical staff, and I don't know the results of many things..."

"Obviously he's afraid that you'll expose the illegal experiment. What's even more outrageous is that he actually secretly worshipped the Six Burial Bodhisattva."

"Not really? Although he likes to boast about being given a great mission by Heaven, he is indeed a man of great knowledge. How could he believe in such things?" He had obviously forgotten that he had just consulted a fortune teller for treatment not long ago.

"How would I know? After I escaped, I have been secretly collecting his inside information and have already sorted it out and handed it over to the relevant departments. No matter where the dean is hiding, I guess he won't be able to escape for long."

"It sounds like a lot of things have happened to you in these days."

"It's a long story. We'll talk about it slowly after we leave here."
