After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 315 Struggle

After saying this, Lu Ming disappeared from the spot.

Xu Yingying then turned to Li Siqi, her face full of contemplation.

"What's wrong?" Li Siqi asked curiously. Although he could see ghosts after wiping the cow's tears, he couldn't hear what was being said between the man and the ghost.

"Lu Ming said that she couldn't remember what the jade pendant looked like, but if she could get close to it, she might be able to detect it." Xu Yingying repeated what Lu Ming had just said to Li Siqi.

Li Siqi was silent for a moment after hearing this. "So she hasn't noticed anything since she entered the city?"

Xu Yingying shook her head. "No, if there was, she would have come to me a long time ago instead of staying by my side all the time."

"You're tired from traveling today, so you should rest early. I'll accompany you around the county tomorrow, just in case we meet." Li Siqi suddenly thought of a good idea and urged Xu Yingying to rest.

Xu Yingying couldn't resist Li Siqi, so she nodded and agreed. Anyway, she was indeed a little tired, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The two searched the county for two days, but still found nothing. They almost walked through the entire county, but Lu Ming still could not find anything.

Lu Ming was the first one who couldn't sit still. She began to follow Xu Yingying all day long. Xu Yingying also realized that the evil spirit in her was getting heavier day by day. Evil spirit is a good thing for ghosts, but for the living, it is something that people should avoid.

Xu Yingying was pregnant. Although the months were getting bigger and the baby was stable, she could not withstand the erosion of the evil spirit. Xu Yingying's health was getting worse day by day, and she often felt unusually tired.

Xu Yingying tried hard to persuade Lu Ming to stay away from her, but Lu Ming would not listen to her at all. He just wanted Xu Yingying to help him find the jade pendant. Xu Yingying was also very annoyed by Lu Ming like this.

That day, when Lu Ming was pestering Xu Yingying again, she suddenly felt her body moving away from Xu Yingying uncontrollably. She turned around and saw Li Siqi standing there.

When Xu Yingying saw this, although she was a little confused, she was fortunately away from Lu Ming and immediately felt a lot better.

Li Siqi took Lu Ming and walked a little further away. After making sure that they would not affect Xu Yingying, Li Siqi stopped and stared at Lu Ming.

"If you don't want to be reduced to ashes, stay away from her." Li Siqi's voice, filled with coldness and murderous intent, entered Lu Ming's ears.

Lu Ming suddenly raised his head, "You can see me too? Then can you help me?"

Li Siqi didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Ming, so he turned around and left, going back to find Xu Yingying.

Lu Ming refused to give up and kept pestering Li Siqi.

Li Siqi seemed to be a little impatient with her pestering, so he simply took out the talisman paper in his arms and pointed it at Lu Ming.

"I told you, if you don't want to be torn to pieces, stay away from her. It's best not to bother me. I'm not Yingying. I don't have that much kindness towards you." Li Siqi's tone was full of warning.

Lu Ming hesitated. She was still afraid of the talisman paper. She could sense a frightening aura on the talisman paper.

Seeing that Lu Ming was no longer following him, Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief and went into the house.

At this time, Xu Yingying was still lying on the bed. When she saw Li Siqi coming in, she sat up by herself and asked, "How do you know this thing?"

She was talking about Li Siqi's action of restraining Lu Ming just now.

Li Siqi smiled and said, "Of course I taught myself. Don't worry, she won't approach you so often anymore. I've already warned her."

"That's good. If it was before, I might have been able to handle her, but now..." Xu Yingying smiled bitterly and glanced at her slightly bulging belly.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Li Siqi comforted.

In the following half month, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying continuously sent people out to search the entire county for the whereabouts of the jade pendant. Even Huang Shaohua sent a lot of people, and they almost turned the entire county upside down, but they still couldn't find any trace of the jade pendant.

As time went on, Xu Yingying felt more and more hopeless. She called Lu Ming over more than once, but Lu Ming just couldn't remember anything and couldn't notice anything.

A few days later, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were taking a break at night. Unable to sleep at night, Li Siqi simply thought about taking Xu Yingying out of the city to play.

Xu Yingying naturally agreed happily. The two were about to change clothes and go out when Lu Ming appeared again.

Li Siqi looked at her warily, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Yingying held down Li Siqi's restless hand, gave him a calming look, and then looked at Lu Ming.

"Do you want to tell me something?" Xu Yingying asked friendly.

Lu Ming nodded, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know. Have you discovered anything? Or rather, have you noticed anything?" Xu Yingying's eyes lit up and she had a hunch.

"If you want to go out, can I go with you to the suburbs? There seems to be something in that direction attracting me." Lu Ming said, pointing in a direction.

Xu Yingying looked in the direction her finger pointed. She felt that the direction looked familiar.

"Let's go. We have nothing to do, so we might as well go and take a look." Xu Yingying made up her mind and said to Li Siqi.

Li Siqi had no objection. Since Xu Yingying had spoken, he naturally followed Xu Yingying.

The two men and the ghost were moving quite fast, and there was no one else holding them back. Within an incense stick of time, they had almost reached the place that Lu Ming pointed to.

After arriving here, they stopped. Xu Yingying and Li Siqi looked at Lu Ming. Lu Ming stood there with confusion in his eyes, but soon, the confusion was replaced by struggle.

Seeing that Lu Ming could not provide any clues, Xu Yingying simply began to explore the surroundings. Just a glance made Xu Yingying gasp. No wonder they had not found any clues for so long. They had been to this place during the day, but there was nothing unusual here at that time.

But now, the place with beautiful mountains and clear waters during the day inexplicably changes its appearance at night.

Now, in the eyes of the two, there was turbid air all around. The visibility was not very low, but not very clear either. Xu Yingying could still smell a faint but indescribable scent in the air.

Xu Yingying had a bad feeling in her heart. She pulled Li Siqi to her side and then shouted, "Luming, come here."
