Chapter 1625 Strong Hands
Du Hao said it wasn't a ghost, it was Li Xiaolei's last obsession left in the world.
If they want to find Li Xiaolei's soul, the only feasible way is to go to Li Xiaolei's hometown, Yuxiang Village, Zhaonan Town.
If you go there, you may not be able to find anything.
But if you don't go, you won't find anything.
Jiang Ci stayed in the hospital for another week, and after her injuries improved, she went to Yuxiang Village with Xu Che.
Du Hao taught them a simple method of summoning the soul, but it may not be effective, because it has been four months since Li Xiaolei passed away, and the soul may have disappeared.
The hope was slim, but Jiang Ci and Xu Che set off anyway.
The dead are gone, and we should do our best no matter what, so as not to leave regrets.
After the car left Qingjiang, it headed west all the way, and the road conditions became worse and worse. Fortunately, Jiang Ci's jeep was strong enough to withstand bumps and bumps.
After staying in a big city for a long time, there will be an illusion, as if this world is already very rich and advanced.
And once you enter the countryside, you will be amazed. It is hard to imagine that there will be such a big gap between the rich and the poor on the same piece of land.
It's really poor here.
There is not even a level road that can be used by cars. The houses in the mountains are sparse and dilapidated, and there is no sound of cars or people. The deep silence adds to the feeling of desolation in this place.
Jiang Ci and Xu Che asked several families before finally finding Li Xiaolei's residence.
Li Xiaolei lived with her grandparents. Her father went out to work for several years without hearing from her. Her mother ran away long ago because she couldn't bear the poverty. Last year, Li Xiaolei's grandparents also passed away, so she went to work in the city with a few girls from the village. Her future was uncertain. But I don't want to have such a result.
An uncle of the Li family helped Li Xiaolei to bury her. This work is not for nothing, after all, the hospital paid the compensation when the accident happened.
Jiang Ci and Xu Che brought a lot of gifts, saying they were here to worship Li Xiaolei.
The uncle of the Li family was very welcome when he heard about their coming, he hurriedly packed a room where he could sleep, and waited until the next morning before taking Jiang Ci and Xu Che up the mountain to pay homage to Li Xiaolei.
It is said to be a sleeping room because there is a big bed in the room.
It's not 1.5 meters, it's not 1.8 meters, it's not even a regular shape. On this bed, there are five or six bricks at the four corners of the bottom, and the top is patchwork wooden boards, which are covered with layers of rotten cotton batting that has been used for an unknown number of years, and covered with a patterned cloth full of patches, which is barely a bed sheet.
Jiang Ci also knew that coming to this kind of valley and asking for the treatment of a five-star hotel was like a fairy tale.
But Xu Che has a cleanliness habit, and she couldn't bear to let him lie on it to sleep.
In fact, her car was quite spacious, if he didn't mind... Even with the seats down, she could sleep.
She was about to discuss with Xu Che when she saw Xu Che opened the camping tent in the main room.
Jiang Ci: "Wow..."
There are moisture-proof pads and sleeping bags, and he also brought a flashlight and a small oil stove. In this way, even if you don't know how to use the earthen stove in the village, it doesn't matter. It is very convenient to boil noodles and boil water.
In the evening, Uncle Li's family wanted to invite them to dinner, but Jiang Ci and Xu Che politely declined. The villagers here are all poor, so if you invite them to eat, you will inevitably have to kill chickens and ducks, and Jiang Ci and Xu Che may not be used to eating, so it is really unnecessary.
Xu Che unpacked two bags of instant noodles, and the two of them had a makeshift dinner, and then borrowed the hot water and washbasin from Uncle Li's house to wash up hastily, and then went back to the next room to rest in the dark with a flashlight.
The sky was full of bright and brilliant stars. Although the village was powered on, few houses were willing to light their lamps, and it was pitch black all around.
Xu Che held Jiang Ci's hand silently.
Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment, her cheeks couldn't help feeling a little warm, she thought: she looks very thin, but she didn't expect her hands to be quite strong.
