Chapter 238 The Unusual Little Girl

Chapter 238 The Unusual Little Girl

Late at night, the street is cold and cheerless. The sky is dark without stars and the moon. Obviously, the weather won’t be nice tomorrow.

Ding County is a slow-paced city. In the early morning, there are few people in the street. Only a few barbecue booths outside an alley are still very noisy, where there are no empty seats. Some of the customers are standing there, drinking and chatting merrily with their friends.

There are two bars at the end of the dark and narrow alley.

In the dark alley, a lot of couples are hugging and making out there. Or at the other side, another group of people are having a fight with cursing words.

The rats in the sewer wanted to stretch themselves and find food at the moment. However, they choose another way.

Among the people in the street, a little girl in a red coat is walking with dull eyes and a lollipop in her hand.

A woman wearing a low-cut top reaches out her hand to grab the little girl’s arm and squats down to ask, “Little girl, it’s so late now. Where are you going?”

The little girl keeps walking forward without turning aside.

The woman wants to follow her and yet she is dragged back by the man next to her. The man holds her in the arms and kisses her again.

“Don’t waste our time. Let’s go to get a room. Why do you care about a strange kid?”

“But...” The woman looks a bit hesitant.

“Okay. Okay. Leave her alone.”

The little girl is isolated.

She is isolated at least here in this place.

Many people glance at her but no one comes up to ask her anything. Perhaps they are worried there is any scheme behind this or they feel that it is none of their business so they don’t need to ask too much.

The little girl goes through the dark alley.

This is a very interesting place.

If a lamp shows up abruptly in the alley, it will be sinful for its brightness. It’s like when a bunch of light is shone into the dark, gloomy and filthy cage, the light must be sinful.

She keeps walking along.

She is like a puppet.

Her movements seem rather incongruous. She is staggering in the street.

This little girl who is walking forward confusedly is just like a boat sailing in the terrifying waves caused by a mighty storm.

The boat just drops as the waves leap.

There are fewer and fewer passers-by.

The little girl walks further and further.

It takes a long time to see a car. The distance between the lamps is much prolonged.

Splash.

Splash.

Behind the girl is a woman who is wet all over her body.

Her clothes are clung to her body while her hair is clung to her scalp. With her eye sockets sunken, she looks so cold with folded arms, trembling heavily.

Unlike the little girl, she is not looking forward but the back of the little girl.

“Precious.”

“Precious.”

She keeps muttering.

They are walking back to back.

Chen Long rushes into the hotel and knocks on the door of Gao Ge crazily as if he went mad.

When Gao Ge opens the door, Chen Long immediately asks, “Do you see my daughter?”

What he says sounds so familiar.

The female ghost used to say that before.

Gao Ge thinks of the little chubby girl.

Chen Long mentioned that the little girl was called Chen Wangshi.

Chen Wangshi, as in Chen Nian Wang Shi (which means bygones in days of yore), is easy to remember. Yet, Gao Ge said that such a name was not suitable for a little girl. Chen Long only smiled and ignored his opinion.

After all, Chen Wangshi sounds better than Chen Fatty that Gao Ge comes up with.

Qin Yuming and Li Yun’an also open the door and walk over.

“Is your daughter lost?”

Chen Long nods his head with a grim face.

As a man over 40 years old, Chen Long has stayed in the Dragon Court for a long time but he looks so flurried.

He looks like that the sky is about to collapse.

“Calm down.” Gao Ge says, “When did the girl get lost?”

“I took a nap but when I woke up, she was gone.”

“Was it ghost?” Li Yun’an asks.

Qin Yuming shakes her head, “Impossible. The dead cats have been dug out. They don’t have time to take further action. If there was a ghost, in no way could we all fail to notice it. Even if we couldn’t, Chen Long must have noticed it.”

“It was not ghost...” Chen Long shakes his head too.

“Relax.” Qin Yuming says, “I’ll check the monitor.”

This is the privilege of the Dragon Court.

No matter where they are, the local police must be cooperative.

Gao Ge calls Master Wen.

After a while, Master Wen arrives hurriedly in a robe.

“What’s wrong?”

“A kid is lost.” Gao Ge says.

“Another kid is lost? They restart to take action now?” Master Wen asks in horror, “Are they in such a hurry?”

Gao Ge waves his head, saying, “You are here not to be surprised only. Do you know how to locate the lost kid?”

Master Wen ponders for a while, saying, “With the kid’s hair or clothes as well as the date and hour of her birth, I should be able to locate her.”

Gao Ge looks at Chen Long.

Chen Long chatted with Master Wen before and learnt that this middle-aged man was not capable, but as an apprentice of an exceptional man, he had his own advantages. Hence, Chen Long hastens to say, “I’ll go to get the things you need.”

“Let me with you.” Gao Ge says.

Liu Jun and Li Yun’an still stay in the hotel to watch the change of the sycamore tree while Qin Yuming keeps checking the monitor.

Gao Ge, Master Wen and Chen Long return to the store.

In the store, Chen Long fetches the little girl’s clothes and says out the date and hour of her birth. Master Wen takes out his compass and a sheet of charm paper.

He places the compass on the little girl’s clothes and meanwhile writes down the date and hour of her birth on the charm paper.

Master Wen is muttering seriously.

Chen Long frowns worriedly.

Gao Ge is wondering what Master Wen is doing. He is wearing a sleeping robe. Where did he take out of the charm paper and compass?

Thinking of the little girl’s oval face, he feels a bit disgruntled.

Master Wen is doing something to the little girl he is familiar with in front of him.

Does Master Wen care about Gao Ge or not?

The needle on the compass suddenly starts to rotate.

“The southeast direction!” Master Wen says instantly.

“Let’s go now.” Gao Ge takes the lead.

Chen Long is about to catch up when he is dragged by Master Wen.

Chen Long stares confusedly at the old man in sleeping robe.

“This little girl is a bit unusual. Will she encounter any danger?” Master Wen gazes at Chen Long and says meaningfully.

Chen Long’s Adam’s apple bobs in his throat.
