Chapter 92 Character
Chen Ling thought for a moment and followed.
As the law enforcer in charge of Frost Street, Chen Ling needed to count the number of people on the street. Even if they died of natural causes, they had to record it, not to mention what kind of vicious incident happened...
Besides, he also wanted to know which person on Frost Street died and caused such a big scene.
Under the dim sky, Chen Ling fell at the end of the crowd and followed them to a wilderness in the back mountain. Along the way, people were whispering, saying things like "send it far away" and "don't come back", which made Chen Ling more confused.
Under the command of Boss Xu, several residents with good physical strength began to shovel the soil. After a while, they cleared a space large enough to accommodate the coffin, and they slowly put the coffin in it.
"Okay, cover it with soil, burn some paper money... it's done."
Boss Xu threw the bags containing two bags of hearts into it, and the others immediately began to bury the soil.
As everyone watched the big red coffin disappear under the soil, they breathed a sigh of relief and their whispers became louder.
"This time, it should be completely over..."
"It is said that this place has good feng shui. I hope he can rest in peace forever."
"After returning, go to the next street to build a monument for him. It's just a pile of dirt, it looks weird... I always feel that he can come out again."
"No way, can he really become a ghost?"
"..."
Boss Li and others also squatted down, took out a basin from somewhere, lit the paper money and threw it into it. A gust of cold wind blew across the wilderness, blowing the other bag of paper money in his hand to the surroundings.
In the dim light, a figure took the initiative to step forward and bent down to pick up the paper money one by one for him.
"Thank you." Boss Li couldn't see his face clearly, but just thanked him.
"You're welcome."
Boss Li was stunned and suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar.
The man clutched the paper money and walked to the newly lit brazier, sending one piece after another into it. As the fire gradually grew stronger, the man's face was gradually outlined in the shadow.
"By the way, Boss Li, who are you burying?" The fire illuminated half of Chen Ling's face, and he slowly looked up.
Boss Li was stunned for a moment.
He blinked hard, as if he had seen a ghost!
"Old Li, you are burning the paper money too slowly, we are done here." Boss Xu walked behind Chen Ling, who was squatting on the ground with his back to him, and couldn't help but speak,
"Burn it quickly, everyone should go back and rest."
"You... you you... he... he!!" Boss Li's face was pale, and he pointed at Chen Ling with one hand, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"What about him?"
Boss Xu looked down in confusion, and Chen Ling looked up at him. The fire illuminated half of his face from his chin, pale and weird.
"Boss Xu." Chen Ling suddenly remembered something, "Where are the peaches I wanted?"
[Audience expectation +3]
[Audience expectation +3]
[Audience expectation...]
Boss Xu's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at Chen Ling's face. After a while, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.
"Boss Xu?"
"Hey, what happened to Boss Xu?"
Seeing this, the others immediately surrounded him. Just as they were wondering what was going on, a figure came forward and helped him up.
"What happened to him?" Chen Ling frowned slightly.
The midnight wind blew across the wilderness, blowing up the paper money in front of Boss Li and scattering it around Chen Ling...
The next moment, everyone's breathing stopped... They stood there like statues, and after a few seconds, they turned around in fear and ran down the mountain! !
Seeing everyone running away from him as if they had seen a ghost, Chen Ling's eyes were full of confusion.
"A Ling?" A voice came from the side.
"Uncle Zhao." Chen Ling looked at Uncle Zhao, the only one who didn't run away, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
Uncle Zhao looked at him with a complicated expression, and after a long time, he sighed...
...
Half an hour later.
Under the night sky, the shop of Zhao's breakfast shop was pushed open.
Uncle Zhao lit the kerosene lamp, heated a bowl of soy milk from the back kitchen, and handed it to Chen Ling on the table.
"A demon who loves to eat human hearts?" After listening to Uncle Zhao's description, Chen Ling's face flashed with surprise, "I didn't..."
"They said they saw it. That day on the street, you took out the hearts from the bag and gave them one by one... They were all scared." Uncle Zhao looked at him with a complicated expression,
"Ah Ling... Actually, I also heard about your parents and Ah Yan. I can understand your current mood... But some evil ways, you can't leave."
Chen Ling's mind suddenly emerged the scene of being surrounded by the bosses on the street that day, but he clearly gave away peaches...
Wait.
Chen Ling suddenly thought of the scene where the audience's expectations rose every time he gave out a peach, and his face turned a little ugly.
He seemed to understand what was going on...
No wonder the man fell down at the door of his house that day and kowtowed to himself three times. It turned out that he thought he was a perverted killer.
"After you delivered the peaches, you went to Bingdao Ancient Treasures... During this period, the rumors about you have become more and more weird. Some people say that you are the reincarnation of a demon, and some say that you have psychological problems. Even outside Frost Street, people have heard about you."
"... It's all misunderstandings." Chen Ling held it in for a long time before he could say this.
"I think it's probably a misunderstanding."
Uncle Zhao brought him a few more tea eggs and said, "But you have to be careful, these rumors will affect your image... If this goes on, no one will dare to get close to you."
Chen Ling had been running all the way and had not eaten a few full meals. At this moment, he peeled a few tea eggs and stuffed them into his mouth, swallowing the soy milk on the table.
"I'll find a time... to explain to them."
After Chen Ling finished eating, he answered helplessly.
Things had developed to this point, which was not what he wanted at all... But the group of people in the audience were so funny that he had no idea how his image had been tampered with without his awareness.
Just as the two were talking, a tired figure walked across the street and pushed the door open.
"Chen Ling?"
Zhao Yi was stunned when he saw Chen Ling at home, and then said unhappily, "Why did you come to my house to eat in the middle of the night?"
Zhao Yi was a reckless man after all. Even though Chen Ling was now a law enforcer, he had no intention of being humble. He was still as domineering as when he was a child, and he didn't like Chen Ling no matter how he looked at her.
The most important thing was that his father had misunderstood that he liked men before. Zhao Yi thought about it for a long time and still felt that something was wrong. He guessed that it might be Chen Ling who was secretly doing bad things... Unfortunately, he had no evidence.
Seeing Chen Ling at this moment, he naturally wouldn't be in a good mood.
