What a pity, such a good old man has such a bad temper, he either curses people or jumps off the building.

As he was talking, the other end of the line was connected. Chi Qiao gathered his thoughts and started the second hexagram of the day.

Opposite me was a young man in his twenties, whose online name was Wanli Qingshan Changzuoke. He wasn't very handsome, but he was fair and clean.

He was very happy that he had gotten Chi Qiao's lucky bag, but he became worried when he thought about what he was going to ask.

"Master, I want you to help me figure out if something happened to my dad. He's been running to the mountains in the middle of the night lately."

There are many mountains near Wanli Qingshan's hometown. He used to live a hard life. He dropped out of junior high school and worked outside. Later, with the development of tourism, their place also developed and became a tourist attraction. Many people come here to climb mountains.

Wanli Qingshan also came back and set up a small stall near the scenic area to sell local specialties. Although he didn't make a lot of money, it was enough to provide food and clothing for his family.

His father also worked as a sedan bearer in the scenic area. Sometimes he carried guests and sometimes he carried things. Although it was hard work, the guests were very generous. The money he earned was enough to support his younger brother to go to college.

But ever since his father carried a passenger up the mountain last night, he noticed that something was wrong with his father.

Every night his father would sneak up the mountain while they were asleep. After he found out, he followed him quietly a few times. However, his father did not take the stone steps that tourists often took, but instead took the small path.

The path was difficult to walk on, and he lost it every time he followed. One time he accidentally rolled down and sprained his ankle, which has not healed yet.

[You won't do anything bad, will you? ]

[Carrying a body in the middle of the night, could it be that they encountered a ghost? Could it be that they were possessed by a ghost? ]

[Don’t be scary in front! ]

As the comments flashed by one by one, Wanli Qingshan was more inclined to believe that his father was bewitched by some dirty thing, otherwise he would not have come to find Chi Qiao, rather than going up the mountain to do bad things.

"There are only trees and grass on the mountain here, so there shouldn't be anything bad to do. And if my dad did something bad, he would have been discovered after so many days."

Wanli Qingshan explained to everyone and ruled out the possibility that his father had done anything bad.

And he knows his father. His father is not a bad person. On the contrary, he is very helpful and has good relationships with others.

[Recently there seems to be a news report saying that a female corpse was found at the foot of Yanhui Mountain. Could it be from your place? ]

[Ah? Is there such news? I feel like the news lately is all about our master.]

[Yes, I got it too. Could it be this guy's father who did it? ]

As soon as these comments came out, netizens were in an uproar. Wanli Qingshan also panicked and quickly explained: "The body of the female corpse was rotten. She didn't die recently and had nothing to do with my dad. It was my dad who found her and called the police. I heard that the girl had been missing for more than three months. Her family reported her missing. If my dad hadn't called the police, they wouldn't have found her."

Wanli Qingshan explained sincerely, and most netizens who were unaware of the situation did not say anything, but remained skeptical.

However, some netizens with conspiracy theorists still don't believe it.

[Maybe he harmed someone in advance, and then pretended to discover it after a while, and then called the police, so that he would not be suspected. ]

[I think this is also possible. The sedan bearers in the mountains are most familiar with this. If they want to steal someone's money or kill someone, they can just carry the person to a deserted side and then flip the person down the mountain. Even if they are discovered later, they can say that they flipped the person down by accident!]

[Yes, it’s a female corpse, it’s possible that she was robbed of her money and her body! ]

These netizens diverged their thinking and came up with various speculations. However, they overlooked one point: now we live in a society ruled by law, so there are not so many robbers, especially in scenic spots.

The scenic area is not like the deep mountains and old forests. Although it is not crowded with tourists, it is not a sparsely populated place. It is not impossible to harm people without being discovered, and there are patrols in the scenic area.

Chi Qiao interrupted the netizens' divergent thinking, "The girl was not killed by someone, she just fell down accidentally. It was just that it was night time, and the place she went to was not where everyone was waiting to watch the sunrise, so there were not many people, so she was not discovered."

Everyone still believes in Chi Qiao's ability, and netizens didn't say anything, but just felt a little sad.

[From this point of view, it is best not to climb mountains at night. Even if you want to climb, you should find a companion. ]

[Seeking a companion may be more dangerous. Who knows if they are here to keep you company or to harm you! ]

[Then what is the reason for this buddy's father's abnormality? 】

Finally, a netizen got to the point. Wanli Qingshan wiped the sweat from his sweat and asked Chi Qiao, "Master, could my dad be bewitched by something? I heard that there are many weasels in the mountains here. Could there be some that have cultivated to become a Huxian?"

He felt that this possibility was very high. There had been many legends about Hu Xian here since ancient times, some about blocking the road to ask for a title, some about Hu Xian getting married, and some families dedicatedly worshipping Hu Xian.

After he said that, the comments became more numerous than before, and they were all very interested in Hu Xian. But Chi Qiao said, "Your father was not bewitched. He went up the mountain in a sober state, and voluntarily."

Wanli Qingshan frowned, "Why? Then what did my father do in the mountains?"

He really couldn't imagine why his father went to the mountains in the middle of the night, and went there secretly without telling them.

Chi Qiao thought about it and said, "The story starts from the night he carried a thing up the mountain."

Chi Qiao's pause made netizens immediately understand.

[Fuck! No way! Did they really lift up a ghost? ]

[I was so scared that I sat up straight immediately! ]

[Master, don’t scare me, I like climbing mountains at night! ]

[Ahem! Could that person be the female corpse that was discovered?! ]

[No, wait until I get into bed! ]

It’s no wonder that what Wanli Qingshan’s father carried that day was really the soul of the girl who fell off the cliff.

But at first he didn't know that the person he was carrying was not a human being.

That day, as usual, he packed up and prepared to go home when it got dark. But not long after he walked out, he was stopped by a tourist under a big tree.

The tourist said he wanted to watch the sunrise on the mountain, but didn't want to climb the mountain as it was too tiring, so he wanted him to carry him up the mountain.

During the day, Wanli Qingshan's father and his companions would carry a sedan chair that was carried by two people. Although it was called a sedan chair, it was actually very simple, with two people carrying a soft chair in the front and back. However, it was still safe, because after all, they were carrying a person, and it would not be fun if someone fell down.

But now his companions had gone back and he couldn't carry it by himself, so he wanted to refuse. But the tourist was very generous and took out ten red bills.

When Wanli Qingshan's father saw the ten red bills, his eyes lit up. They only earned four or five hundred yuan for each trip during the day, and they had to share it between two people. How could he not be tempted by the thousand yuan?

Seeing that the tourist was a thin girl, he agreed.

He couldn't lift a sedan chair for two people by himself, but there was one that could be carried on one person's back, which was the same as carrying a backpack, except that the backpack was replaced by a seat.

He usually used this to carry goods, and he asked the girl if she minded. The girl didn't mind, as long as she could get up the mountain.

Wanli Qingshan's father quickly took out a cushion and laid the mat on the ground. Knowing that the girls were all clean, he made the cushion very flat.

So, he carried the girl up the mountain road, but he felt a little puzzled while walking. Although he had expected that the girl was not heavy, how could she seem to have no weight? She was too light!

At first he was only thinking about the ten red bills. Although he was confused, he didn't care much.

Until he met a sedan chair bearer he knew, his face turned pale instantly.

The sedan bearer had carried someone up in the afternoon and was coming down the mountain. He curiously asked Wanli Qingshan's father, "Why are you carrying an empty chair up the mountain?"

Most of the people who wanted to come down from the mountain had already come down. Those who didn't come down were waiting to watch the sunrise. They wouldn't get any business if they went up empty-handed. They all knew this, so they usually went home after dark.

"What empty chair? I'm sending someone up the mountain!"

When Wanli Qingshan's father replied to the man, the man laughed and asked him if he was crazy about making money. There was no one behind him, it was clearly empty.

Wanli Qingshan's father was stunned. He turned around to look, but the seat was not empty. Wasn't the young girl sitting there peacefully?

When she saw him turn around, the girl even smiled at him.

Huh! wrong!

Why is the girl's head facing forward?

Normally, the girl and he should have their backs to each other. Even if the girl wanted to face forward and smile at him, she would have to turn her head. But the girl's whole head was facing forward, and he was facing her face as soon as he turned around!

The sedan bearer had already gone down the mountain with a smile on his face. No one could be seen on the front or back steps except Wanli Qingshan's father and the young girl!

His legs were shaking so much that he could hardly stand. Seeing that he was not going to move, the girl pointed in a direction and urged him, "Uncle, hurry up. You have to get there before dawn, otherwise I won't pay you."

She shook the red bill in her hand. Wanli Qingshan's father was so cold that he almost cried. How dare he take that money? I'm afraid it's ghost money!

No matter what he said, he didn't dare to move forward. He hurriedly put the girl down and kowtowed to her, crying that he had a family to support and begged the girl to spare his life.

The girl sighed and begged the other party. She didn't want to hurt anyone, she just wanted to get out of the mountain.

She died here and no one collected her body, so her soul could not leave here. She wanted to take him to find the place where she fell to her death, and ask him to call the police or contact her family to collect her body.

But she said she didn't want to hurt anyone, who knows if that was true or not. Wanli Qingshan's father was unwilling to move forward. He had heard that if a person died in the mountains and his soul couldn't leave, he would look for a scapegoat. He had a family to take care of, so he didn't want to be a scapegoat!

He kowtowed desperately, begging the ghost to spare his life. But before he could kowtow a few times, a golden bean was thrown at his feet.

"As long as you help me, I promise to lead you to find countless wealth."

The ghost girl's voice was cold and mournful, but the golden beans glowed with a soft luster under the moonlight.

Wanli Qingshan's father refused to give in. He would not sell his life for even a golden bean!

But two, three, four... in a short while, the female ghost threw out more than twenty.

Golden beans were scattered around him, as beautiful as the stars in the sky, shining so brightly that the green mountains and the father's eyes looked golden.

In the face of unprecedented wealth, life seems less important.
