From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 25 Scared

"What?"

Jiang Yao was stunned, and he was a little suspicious whether he had heard it wrong.

"That guy, I don't know if he suddenly went crazy or he didn't have enough fun last night, he ran to the Yuan River alone early in the morning."

"I heard from his family that when he left the house, it was still dark, probably around three or four in the morning."

"It was on the river bank where we went up and down last night. He must have fallen down and hit his head on a sharp rock."

"If he had been with someone and not alone, and had been rushed to the hospital immediately after the accident, he might have been saved. But when he was found, it was already past eight in the morning."

"After being delayed for a few hours, he is already completely exhausted!"

……

With his head hung, the soldier's expression was extremely complicated when he spoke of this.

Before he finished speaking, he took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Jiang Yao, then took out one himself and lit it, then continued: "The body has been dragged back to Dahai's house, but I didn't dare to go over to see it. After hearing the news, I still ran over to take a look at the place where he had the accident."

"The rock he hit when he fell was already stained blood red."

"Also, guess what else I saw?"

"Let me tell you, I actually saw a rag doll in a pile of garbage right in front of that place."

"Look at the doll, it looks like the one that Dahai caught last night. When I saw the doll, I felt like it was smiling at me."

"How brave am I? Uncle Yao, you should know this, but when I saw the rag doll at the place where the accident happened in the sea, I was really scared to death."

"At that time, I didn't dare to stay any longer. After climbing up from the river bank, I almost ran all the way back."

……

When talking about the rag doll, the two fingers holding the cigarette in the soldier's hand shook unconsciously a few times.

Wang Dahai, who came back from fishing with me last night, was gone when he woke up...

After coming up from the Yuan River last night, Jiang Yao reminded Wang Dahai to stay out of the house for the next few days and to go to Mawan Village to see Carpenter Xu...

But neither Wang Dahai nor Bingzai himself took this seriously, and some even made fun of Jiang Yao for it.

But now, after connecting all the things together, Bingzai couldn't help but think more about it.

Perhaps, he felt that Jiang Yao might know something. After returning from the place where Wang Dahai had the accident, he did not even go back home, but came directly to Jiang Yao.

He took two deep puffs of the cigarette in his mouth.

In the swirling smoke, he finally raised his head, looking at Jiang Yao: "Uncle Yao, do those ghosts you talked about really exist? Did we really encounter something unclean last night?"

"Wang Dahai suddenly got into trouble because he was haunted by those ghost things?"

……

Bingzai asked a lot of questions in a row, then tilted his head and looked at Jiang Yao expectantly, as if he wanted to get some definite answers from him.

It’s a pity that Jiang Yao couldn’t give him the answer he wanted.

After all, he himself is only a half-baked expert now, and he also has only a vague understanding of those weird things.

If he hadn't awakened the golden finger and gotten some hints when encountering disasters, his understanding of monsters and demons wouldn't be much better than that of the soldiers Wang Dahai and others.

He took out a lighter and lit the cigarette that the soldier handed over. After a long silence, Jiang Yao sighed and slowly said, "The saying about ghosts and gods has always been circulating." "When the old people in the village talk about that kind of thing, they often say, if you believe it, it exists, if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist."

"In my opinion, if something exists, either it really doesn't exist in the world, or we are so limited in our knowledge that we simply cannot recognize its existence."

“Before you see something like that with your own eyes, you may not believe in its existence, but you cannot be without awe.”

"Like those bigwigs in the upper echelons of the Federation, they keep talking about feudal superstitions, brainwashing the lower-class people and asking them to resist these legacy dregs, but many of them actually pray to gods and Buddhas all day long."

……

Jiang Yao spoke eloquently for more than ten minutes.

Although he didn't say anything explicitly, his words and deeds were hinting to Bingzai, telling him that those weird things might really exist.

To be honest, Jiang Yao was originally an atheist and didn't believe in this kind of thing at all.

However, the existence of the panel light screen and the things he had experienced had already caused some fundamental changes in his three views.

Listening to Jiang Yao's words, Bingzai remained silent and just smoked one cigarette after another.

Only after he had finished smoking the few remaining cigarettes in the pack did he tentatively ask, "Didn't you say that you went to Carpenter Xu's place in Mawan Village a few days ago?"

"Then you must know how much it costs to ask him to perform a ritual?"

"After learning about Dahai's accident, I've been feeling very anxious. How about I go to Carpenter Xu and take a closer look?"

This guy was fearless last night, but now that he has taken the initiative to ask to find Carpenter Xu, it seems that Wang Dahai's death really scared him.

"Well... I just gave him a little bit that day. I'm not really sure how he charged specifically." Jiang Yao laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed.

He felt that he only gave Carpenter Xu 60 cents, and it was better for him to keep it in his mind and not spread it around.

Otherwise, Carpenter Xu would be embarrassed.

If I want to ease the relationship with him, some twists and turns may arise out of nowhere.

"Don't you know how much Carpenter Xu charges? Then I'll go ask the old people in the village. They should know something." The soldier forcibly extinguished the half-smoked cigarette in his hand. He stood up and prepared to leave.

But when he reached the door of Jiang Yao's main hall, he stopped and turned back: "Since Dahai has had this incident, your invitation to the restaurant can only be discussed another day."

"I'll let Gouzi know. At this time, he probably won't be in the mood to go out and eat and drink."

"Also, I won't go out these past few nights. I'll just stay at home."

"Uncle Yao, if you want to continue fishing by the river tonight, I definitely won't be able to accompany you."

After saying this, Bingzai took big strides and walked straight outside.

"Forget it, I won't go to the river at night." Jiang Yao sighed and smiled bitterly.

Although he had a light screen panel that would give him prompts if he encountered a disaster, Wang Dahai's death still left him with lingering fears.

"I sold those two fish this morning for over forty dollars. Add to that the rest, and it should be enough to buy some good cigarettes and wine."

"How about I go to Carpenter Xu's place today while I'm free?"

Inadvertently, this thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Yao's mind.
