Vol 11 Chapter 19: Deceptive memory

Seeing that the parasite died, the woman was limp and vomited. The thing that was vomited was like tar, black, sticky and rancid, and there was blood in it. Obviously, she would lose half of it if she didn't die. Fate.
Under such circumstances, Fang Linyan didn't want to cause trouble to his upper body. He splashed a pour of water on the face of the boss who was knocked out by him, then climbed up the wall next to him in a trot, and then ran away directly.
After waiting on the street, Fang Linyan called Mai Yong:
"where are you."
At this time, Mai Yong obviously has some lingering fears:
"It was there just now, it was so miserable, all four of the family in the Camry died, and they were all crushed! The driver who was killed that day was actually sleeping drunk at this time!"
Fang Linyan knew that after the driver had a car accident, his brain was bound to be swallowed by the puppet worms in his body. The driver should be a vegetable at this time, so he said to Mai Yong:
"I'll be back right away and proceed according to the original plan. I will find that Ma Xianniang. I don't need to find any motorcycles. I will drive."
"That's right." Fang Linyan told Mai Yong very seriously: "From now on, you and the people around you have to be cautious about eating. Don't eat any food that will leave our sight during the production process."
Mai Yong nodded.

After Fang Linyan took over driving, it took another one and a half hours to get to Ma Xianniang's house, which is located on a half-hill slope, and it looks like it was rebuilt on the site of a temple.
Fang Linyan has a strong sense of direction. Standing on the dam of Ma Xian’s house and looking into the distance, you can clearly see Xie Wenqiang’s former home-the house that the second wife just left not long ago. The red roof is actually very recognizable.
About two kilometers away, there was a big sparkling river. It was the culprit who made Fang Linyan wait for an hour and a half to detour.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, Mai Yong whispered to Fang Linyan:
"Ma Xianniang is back."
Fang Linyan looked up and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a flower jacket. She looked rather haggard. Her hair was quite white, her trouser legs and sleeves were rolled up, apparently she had just gotten off the ground.
She also carried a back-strap on her back, half of which was hogweed.
Seeing Fang Linyan and the group of strangers, Ma Xianniang did not have stage fright at all, but greeted loudly:
"Guests, sit here first, Heiwa! Help me out with a few stools, Sister Dai, help me make four cups of tea! I'll wash my hands and change my clothes."
Soon, Ma Xianniang put on a black gown, and at the same time she wore a bun and walked out, her dress neatly and neatly:
"How many gentlemen are looking for my old lady?"
Fang Linyan glanced at the people around him, and then said:
"Is there a quieter place?"
Ma Xianniang immediately looked at the people around who watched the excitement. It is strange to say that most of these people were left in disbelief when Ma Xianniang saw them like this. The Heiwasao and Sister Dai who were called before also came forward to chase people away. , And then they left by themselves.
At this time, Ma Xianniang closed the gate of her house again:
"You can speak."
Fang Linyan Road:
"I'm here to inquire about someone. I don't know much about this person. I only know that the other person also has some secretive and bizarre methods. People call it an old monster!"
Ma Xianniang's face suddenly changed:
"What are you looking for this thing for?"
Fang Linyan smiled, took out a stack of money and placed it on the bench next to him:
"You don't need to know so much, you just need to answer my questions well, and then take the money."
Looking at the pile of money, Ma Xianniang looked a little hesitant, Fang Linyan also read out her concerns, and said simply:
"I have a grudge against this old monster. This time I'm here to make trouble for the other party, so you don't have to worry that I will be harmful to you."
Ma Xianniang stared at Fang Linyan, others couldn't feel it, but her eyes obviously became a bit deep, Fang Linyan was in a daze, and suddenly received a prompt:
"An aboriginal tries to use the detection technique on you, and its mental power is 21 points, which is far lower than your mental power, so if you want to, you can cause a backlash to it."
Fang Linyan Road:
"What if I let her probe?"
"Then she will detect some basic things, such as whether you are malicious or not."
Fang Linyan nodded, his mind was determined, and he simply let him explore, but when it was about to end, he cut off his mental power and pushed it away.
Obviously, Ma Xianniang's face turned pale immediately. She already clearly felt that Fang Linyan was much stronger than she had imagined. She immediately said with gratitude:
"Thank you, Mr., for your mercy!"
Fang Linyan said lightly:
"For useful people, I have always been very tolerant."
Obviously, Fang Linyan's subtext is, if you are useless to me, then you will soon know my anger!
Facing Fang Linyan's gaze, Ma Xianniang said straightforwardly:
"In fact, I don’t know much about the old monster. Most of the things I get are rumors, so I only dealt with it once. In fact, I don’t even know whether it is a male or female, or even a human being. have no idea!"
Fang Linyan Road:
"It's okay, as long as there is news, you can tell everything you know, don't hide it, and don't add your subjective judgment to it, let alone omit it."
Then Fang Linyan spoke to Qian Nunu:
"After you finish, and don't try to deceive me, then the money is yours."
Ma Xianniang said:
"Okay, in fact, in our circle, there are also factions. Some worship Huang Daxian, some worship the family (snake), and some worship Bixia Yuanjun (fox). Actually, these are all excuses. In fact, We just didn't close our heavenly eyes after we were born, so we can only see some dirty things that ordinary people can't see."
What Ma Xianniang said was also a common phenomenon among goddesses and goddesses. Some of these people can only slander and deceive, but some also have real abilities.
The truth is that they are human beings whose spiritual power is much more developed than ordinary people, which are equivalent to Liu Xiang/Yao Ming in the field of spiritual power, but there is no scientific research and development in this field.
Ma Xianniang took a sip of water, and then continued:
"I’ve heard the term
old monster
since I was a child, because my mother is also in my profession. She said that this is a wicked thing that was thrown out of the mountains. She usually likes to live in three places, the well in Wangjiagou. Mass graves in Heizhugou, and under the old locust trees in Jianjian Mountain next to it."
Fang Linyan quietly noted these three places.
Ma Xianniang said:
"The old monster does things based on his own preferences. If he encounters a difficult task and he is still in a good mood, he will help."
"However, if you take the initiative to ask for the door, the sacrifice will be accepted directly, but the rest will be ignored."
"When I was young, I heard rumors every few months that someone was rescued by an old monster. At that time, people around here called it Hei Niangniang."
Fang Linyan Road:
"How can this be judged to be a good thing it did?"
Ma Xianniang said:
"When Hei Niangniang appears, there will be several small whirlwinds around, blowing the leaves and branches rustling, people are generally confused, and it takes a long time to recover."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Oh, okay, you keep talking."
Ma Xianniang said:
"However, twenty or so years ago, a major event happened. There was a dry thunder in the daytime, and there was a loud bang. Even the houses on the edge of the county town were knocked down several times. The sky There was even a rain of blood in it."
"Since then, Hei Niangniang has become moody, and many people will pass out in a coma when they encounter it, and then become seriously ill, and their bones are directly weakened."
"It was only two months later, and there were almost one or two hundred people who were harmed. There were about a dozen people who couldn't survive and died."
"At that time, even the government took it seriously and directly dispatched the army to kill. The well was filled in Wangjiagou, and the Taishan Stone was built on it. The old locust tree in Jianjian Mountain was cut down and even uprooted. "
"At that time, many onlookers saw that under the root of the old locust tree, there was actually a coffin. It is said that it was the body of Hei Niang Niang. The army poured gasoline on it and burned it. Only the mass grave in Heizhugou It was too big and wide, so I couldn't deal with it, but since then, even if someone passes by Heizhugou during the day, we can still hear the sound of weeping between the graves."
Fang Linyan probably figured it out in his mind, and found that when the black lady had an accident, it was almost the same as when he entered the orphanage! It's really hard to say whether there is any relationship.
So after pondering for a while, Fang Linyan said:
"What about the relationship between Hei Niangniang and the old monster?"
Ma Xianniang said:
"After Hei Niang Niang was besieged by the army, she stopped for two years, but immediately after Wangjiagou, people began to encounter ghosts hitting the wall, and the people they met would usually pass out directly in the end, and finally found themselves when they woke up. On the grave, there is a serious illness, but after getting sick, they can often make a fortune."
"And the money is determined according to the condition of the illness. If you are seriously ill, you will get a little more fortune, if you are mildly ill, you will get a little less fortune. Not only that, these people will listen before they fall unconscious or wake up. It's a strange sound, like an old man coughing."
"Therefore, people who have benefited call it old life (local dialect, similar to old uncle), and most people call it old monster. When encountering old monsters, whirlwinds will appear around them. There are rumors that Hei Niangniang has come back from the dead and has come back with a new face."
"Right!"
Hearing this, Fang Linyan suddenly thought of Xu Bo's drinker, photographer, fish stall owner, and the salty and wet old man Lao He!
The negatives developed by this guy have this ability, which allows people to exchange their health for floating wealth, and even become an unknown thing!
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan began to secretly warn not to underestimate the enemy, just relying on the image left by a negative film can transform ordinary film into something unknown and strange. It is definitely not simple.
This is a tall existence that even space must be interested in.
"These things are what you said through hearsay, right?" Fang Linyan said.
Ma Xianniang said:
"Yes."
Fang Linyan Road:
"Tell me about the conflict between you and the old monster?"
Ma Xianniang sighed and said:
"Actually, there is nothing to say. I was visited by a family (the goddess invited the dead relatives of the family to the upper body). I only found out when I saw it. It turned out that it was a child who was very sick. I'm calling the name of the dead grandma."
"Then when I went to Yin, it was very smooth at the beginning, but in the end I was taken up by this old monster. I resisted desperately and was not controlled by it. In the end, both of us stood in a stalemate. It warned. I don't care about my business, and then I left my body."
"After I came back, my head hurt like it was about to split, and I couldn't sleep all day long. In the end, I even let the mouth at home knock me out. It was a sigh of relief and I slowly got over it. ."
Fang Linyan knew that splitting headaches were a sign of mental damage. Ma Xianniang should be a "self-taught talent" and mastered very superficial mental power usage. However, the old monster could not even suppress her absolutely.
Therefore, the mental power of the old monster is at its early 30s, not less than 40, otherwise it would constitute a crush.
After asking Ma Xianniang a few more words, he basically finalized the scope of the old monster's activities. Draw a circle with Wangjiagou as the core and a radius of five kilometers. This guy is moving around there.
Fang Linyan was also satisfied with the information, and directly returned to Badong County after throwing the 10,000 yuan benefit fee to Ma Xianniang.
While driving on the road, Mai Yong also received a call. After saying a few words, Lin Yan said:
"Brother Wrench, you let us find the list of the previous staff of the welfare institute we were looking for."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Okay, let's get it now, and ask the other party to print out a few copies."
After returning to the county to get this list, it was already the beginning of Hua Deng, and his stomach was hungry.
However, all the people in the car also obeyed Fang Linyan’s warning, lest they would be thrown into the food, so they didn’t dare to eat and drink, and went straight to a street stall, which was equivalent to a big one at night. Gears like this.
Then I ordered a light meal like fried rice and fried noodles, and the boss was staring at them all the time while cooking, and did not do anything about it. Under such strict precautions, they quickly finished dinner, drank the unopened milk they bought from the supermarket, and started looking for people along the list.
The first person on the list is Uncle Qin, the concierge of the orphanage. This old man has been a concierge there since he was forty-three, and he has been 71 years old! Stayed here for almost thirty years.
So if you take this list to see if there are any problems, it is definitely the most appropriate.
In Uncle Qin's place, Fang Linyan and the others did not encounter any obstacles, especially after the money was taken out, Uncle Qin seemed to have opened the chatterbox, knowing everything is endless.
Uncle Qin also nodded his head to approve the list, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it.
However, Fang Linyan really felt that something was wrong, because none of the people in the orphanage could match the "she" described in the diary left by the director Zhang Kun.
Next, Fang Linyan found several people in a row, and the money was sent out for almost five to six thousand yuan, and basically no breakthrough was found. Why should it be said that it is basically?
It was because of valuable news that I got a piece, that is, someone finally provided the whereabouts of Xie Wenqiang...
According to the description in Xu Bo's diary, his original name was Liu Qiang, Fang Linyan's good brother and partner in the orphanage. He originally had a big red spot birthmark on his face, but Fang Linyan couldn't remember this at all.
On the contrary, seeing that Luo Guanjiao just now evoked Fang Linyan's many memories:
He began to remember that his life in the orphanage was very numb. Everyone seemed to be a feelingless part running a machine. The friends around him were often beaten and starved.
Discipline is to keep his face straight all day long, every meal is a thin porridge that can illuminate the shadow of a person, and it is paired with a yellowish bun with a strong alkaline smell! Even this thing is still limited, and it may not be enough to eat.
Surprisingly, the discipline does not beat and scold the children much. The only punishment is to close the small black house and be hungry!
As long as they violate the rules, they will be hungry for three meals. With this kind of punishment, the child who is more bearish and skinny will come two or three times in a row, and it will be as honest as something.
Not only that, but the guard will reward children who report mischief, and the reward is the food deducted from the accused child.
In such an environment, the innocence and kindness of children will quickly evaporate, and there will be no laughter that children should have. Everyone must be careful to be reported in violation of regulations. The unforgettable feeling of hunger will even linger throughout childhood.

"Arrived."
Mai Yongdao in the co-pilot.
This time Fang Linyan and the others came to the front of a row of tiled houses.
The infrastructure and houses of Badong County directly make Fang Linyan seem to be back in the 1980s, and the row of houses in front of him is the most dilapidated in Badong County’s county seat. On the walls, there are still faintly visible "Agricultural Studies from Dazhai". slogan......
In the house made of red bricks, you can even see the ash and mud fall down with a breath against the wall.
The drainage ditch in front of the tiled house is muddy black, and even a big bubble pops out from time to time. There must be no fish in it. Even the loach may not survive. There are only a large number of insects that look like red silk threads dancing happily with the water. .
This drainage ditch can be said to be omnipotent. The excrement and urine of people around, leftovers, garbage, etc. are poured directly into it, which can be said to be stinking.
Liu Qiang------Xie Wenqiang has been driven out by his greedy and tyrannical relatives since the death of his adoptive father and adoptive mother. He spends his life here in despair and frustration. He usually relies on odd jobs and a little bit left by his adoptive father and adoptive mother. Savings.
It was already dark at this time, but fortunately, Mai Yong led the way. After asking two people, he knocked on a lightly broken door.
After a long while, someone shouted with a drunken voice:
"Who?"
Mai Yong already had a wealth of experience in finding people at this time, so he said:
"I'm asking you about something, not for nothing, I'll give you money."
Sure enough, someone opened the door soon, and then a man who looked drunk walked out in his clothes, and when he looked up, several people were shocked!
It turned out that he could see his right face, as if it was dripping with blood, but after two more glances, I realized that it was something similar to a scar or a birthmark, half the size of a palm, it might be a drink. Because of the wine, the face is congested, so the top is crimson.
After seeing this birthmark, there was something in Fang Linyan's memory that was about to jump out, and then a lot of memories emerged!
He was stunned, suddenly! A bold conjecture flashed through his mind, Fang Linyan took a breath and said in his heart:
"Could it be that... the truth is so?"
He frowned and did not speak, but Mai Yong was a clever man with long sleeves, so he spoke directly:
"Are you Xie Wenqiang?"
The man burped alcohol and said angrily:
"I... I don't have a surname, thank you family, but there is no such thing as a good thing!"
"Laozi's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Qiang!"
Obviously, Liu Qiang was very angry and worried about the Xie family's directing him out, so he simply changed his name back.
But it can also be seen that this person's temperament is not good. The relatives of the Xie family did not treat him well, but the adoptive father and adoptive mother who died did not have the slightest problem with his opponent. He changed his surname directly. In fact, the most harmful was the adoptive father and adoptive mother. .
After drinking, the birthmark on his face gradually relapsed.
After questioning him a few words, Mai Yong found that he couldn't ask anything, so he looked at Fang Linyan, and then shrugged his shoulders.
Fang Linyan had already thought about it at this time, so she looked at Liu Qiang and said:
"Look, do you still know me?"
Liu Qiang squinted at Fang Linyan for a long time, then shook his head and said:
"I don't know, we have seen it."
Fang Linyan Road:
"I'm Fang Linyan, I grew up in the orphanage with you."
Sure enough, after hearing the three words Fang Linyan, Liu Qiang's pupils were enlarged a little, and then he smiled with surprise:
"It's you?!"
After saying these words, he immediately moved forward two steps with excitement:
"Oh, it's really you! Remember, when you got a piece of chocolate, you divided me half of it directly. That was the first time in my life that I had chocolate. The taste was really wonderful."
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Yes, you are right, so I brought you a piece of chocolate this time."
After speaking, Fang Linyan took out another piece of chocolate and handed it to Liu Qiang.
It was Fang Linyan's temporary intention to give Liu Qiang chocolate. Chocolate is a small size/easy to carry/good taste/heat explosion/easy to eat/easy to keep/long shelf life. It is a must for survival in the wild.
So Fang Linyan has two or three boxes of chocolates in his private space at any time. Of course, these chocolates were purchased for him by Evelina relying on the power of the church. They must be expensive boutiques, both in taste and appearance. Is excellent.
Liu Qiang took the chocolate. This handmade chocolate exudes a charming milky fragrance. Liu Qiang must have never eaten such high-end chocolate in his life, but he doesn't know why he has no appetite.
Although his feedback in his mind at this time was: very fragrant and delicious, and I liked it very much since the last time I ate it, but his body was very honest in rejecting this stuff, causing waves of nausea and nausea. !
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Eat, this is imported, I brought you back from Greece specially."
Liu Qiang said:
"I, I seem to drink too much alcohol and feel uncomfortable."
Fang Linyan then repeated the same technique:
"How can this work? I bet with Lao Mai that you definitely like this! So, I don't want to lose! If you eat this chocolate, I will give you 10,000 yuan!"
After finishing talking, Fang Linyan threw out 10,000 yuan and smashed it on the table next to him.
Liu Qiang is already sitting and eating, how can he do odd jobs every day to support his drunkenness and constant drinking and drinking? At this time, these ten thousand pieces were completely carbon in the snow, water in the desert.
With this 10,000 yuan as a primer, not to mention a piece of chocolate, even a steaming ball of shit, Liu Qiang can also swallow it in one bite.
Therefore, Liu Qiang then trembled:
"You really give me ten thousand if I eat it?"
Fang Linyan stretched out his hand:
"You can take the money before eating."
Liu Qiang grabbed the stick of ten thousand pieces, and then peeled the chocolate very simply. After chewing twice, he swallowed it, but instead of swallowing it, he retched twice. Voice.
But under the power of 10,000 yuan, he gritted his teeth and chewed a few times, then swallowed, and then said with a sly and happy smile:
"Finished."
Fang Linyan smiled and said to him:
"Thank you for letting me win this round."
Liu Qiang smiled and began to chat with Fang Linyan about the past, but the topics between the two of them were repeating several things.
After a few minutes, Liu Qiang seemed to feel a little hot, and he took off his coat altogether, and then began to scratch his body again, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. After a while, he discovered that Liu Qiang's scratches appeared. After removing the big red patches, even his breathing became short.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan let out a long breath:
"Sure enough, my judgment is not wrong! It is the rest of the people who are wrong!"
At this time, Liu Qiang already seemed a bit innocent. His eyes were bloodshot, his whole body scratched, and he even felt out of breath, and said in a panic:
"No way, what's wrong with me? I'm going to the hospital!"
Fang Linyan looked at Liu Qiang with a touch of sadness in his eyes:
"You are allergic in this situation. The chocolate you eat is your allergen."
Liu Qiang said in shock:
"Why? I like chocolate very much. The piece of chocolate you let me eat is so delicious! I have loved chocolate ever since!"
Fang Linyan shook his head slowly:
"No, that's not the case. You, me, and even all the people who have left the orphanage have some key memories that have been directly tampered with. Of course, it is tampering, not a forcible stuffing out of nothing!"
