The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 91

"Tell me, how do you want us to help you?" After speaking, Mi Congcong coughed lightly, and changed his words: "You make gestures, and I'll guess."

The female water ghost looked at Mi Congcong, then at Gu Tong, and didn't move. After a while, she went upstream of the small river.

Mi Congcong glanced at his master, and Gu Tong nodded to her, motioning to follow.

Without Gu Tong, Mi Congcong would have considered whether to follow, but this time Mi Congcong followed the female water ghost without even thinking about it.

The two followed the female water ghost for nearly half an hour. Just when Gu Tong was about to get impatient, the female water ghost pointed to the hill to the north, and looked at the two of them with pleading eyes.

What do you mean?
Gu Tong used his eyes to ask his apprentice, and seeing her also looked dazed, he couldn't help asking: "Are you asking us to go up the mountain, or is there something on the mountain?"

The female water ghost excitedly stretched out two fingers, thought for a while, and drew a big circle with her hand, then raised her arms in a beating gesture.

The female water ghost stretched out two fingers, meaning that her master's second guess was correct, that is, there was something on the mountain. This Mi Congcong guessed it quickly, but what does the gesture behind it mean?
Mi Congcong frowned and thought about it. Suddenly, she said suddenly, "You mean we should report to the police?!"

It gestured that the big circle should be the big drum in front of the yamen, and it was asking her to go to the yamen to beat the drum to redress her grievances!
As soon as Mi Congcong finished speaking, the female ghost's tears fell silently, like beads with a broken thread.

This silent cry was filled with endless grief, but Mi Congcong and Gu Tong could clearly feel the resentment emanating from it.

It seems that the death of this female water ghost should have a great grievance!

Since the female water ghost died in the water, there shouldn't be a female water ghost's corpse on the mountain. What would it be if it wasn't a female water ghost's corpse?

"Master, shall we report it to the police?" Mi Congcong said after recovering.

"Wait, ask it first, we have reported to the government for it, where can we go to ask for reward?" The reason why Gu Tong agreed to help is for money, and the reward has not been clarified yet. Ghosts don't even have a family member, so wouldn't their work be in vain?

"Master, look at her wedding gown is so beautiful, with pearls on it, she is definitely not a girl from an ordinary family. The government will definitely notify her family when the case is closed. When the time comes, we will go to her home to save her, and there will be money gone?"

In fact, the reason why Mi Congcong was willing to help the female water ghost was not only for the money, but also because he wanted to solve the matter of the female water ghost as soon as possible so that its ghost would not haunt him.

"Okay, girl, so you have thought of everything!" Gu Tong was very satisfied with Mi Congcong's answer.

Early the next morning, when Gu Yu heard that Mi Congcong was going to report to the police, he couldn't help asking a few more questions.

After hearing what Mi Congcong said, Gu Yu disapproved and said, "Girl, you shouldn't come forward about this!"

Mi Congcong was puzzled: "Why?"

"Girl, have you ever thought about how you should answer if someone from the county government asks about this?" Gu Yu asked back.

This is groundless. It is a trivial matter whether the government will listen to the words of his own girl and search the mountains. What worries Gu Yu the most is that this matter involves human life. The girl got involved, and that was the real trouble.

After being reminded by Gu Yuyi, Mi Congcong realized that he almost caused trouble, and felt annoyed for a while.

She only thought about how to get rid of that female water ghost, but never considered whether she would be implicated?

"Uncle Gu, what should I do now in your opinion?" She has already promised the female water ghost to help it, and she definitely has to help it. Now the thing to consider is how to help it?
"Girl, if you trust me, leave this matter to me." Gu Yu said.

Mi Congcong glanced at him: "Then thank you Uncle Gu, if it weren't for you, I would have made a mistake today."

Uncle Gu would risk his life for her, so how could she not trust him?What's more, she will not have the slightest doubt about Uncle Gu's ability to handle affairs.

"Girl, this is what I should do." Gu Yu completely regarded Mi Congcong as his master, and he felt that it was his duty not to let Mi Congcong get involved in danger.

The matter of reporting to the official was handed over to Gu Yu, and Mi Congcong began to think about the matter of retiring the engagement.

Before, she didn't know that Zhong Jingchao had other purposes for her engagement, so she wanted to force him to withdraw, but now she didn't want to procrastinate any longer.

However, if she wants to voluntarily withdraw from the marriage, the elders will have to come forward for this matter. That scumbag Mi Zhian has nothing to count on. Jiang... Mi Congcong shook his head and immediately excluded her. With Jiang's weak temperament, After thinking about it, she didn't dare to be the master of this matter, and grandma refused to agree with her to withdraw from the marriage. The only way to persuade my uncle to come forward in this matter is.

However, it may not be easy to persuade the uncle to go over Mi Zhian and help her resign from this relationship.

Mi Congcong thought for a whole day, and finally came up with a solution once and for all.

Just as Mi Congcong wanted to borrow some money from Guo Hongyuan, Guo Hongyuan found the small courtyard of the Gu family in a hurry.

"Congcong, your uncle sent you messages to my house. Your uncle told you to go back to the village immediately."

Mi Zhiqing knew that Mi Congcong was studying with Gu Tong in the county seat, but he didn't know where she ended up, so he had to send the message to Guo's house.

Mi Congcong's heart tightened: "What happened to my family?"

"The person who sent the message didn't say anything, but just told you to go back immediately!"

"Hongyuan, can you lend me some money?" She originally planned to wait until the female water ghost's matter was resolved before going back, but now she couldn't wait any longer.

"How much do you want?" Guo Hongyuan asked without thinking.

"50 taels, do you have it?" Mi Congcong felt no pressure to borrow money from Guo Hongyuan. After all, he had borrowed so much money, and the 50 taels was not bad.

"Ade, take 100 taels and give it to Congcong." Guo Hongyuan was also worried about the Mi family's accident, so he had more money to be prepared.

"Master, I came out in a hurry just now, and only brought out more than 60 taels of silver." Ade took out his purse.

"I only need 50 taels." Mi Congcong said.

The last time she went back, she heard from her uncle that Mi Zhian had received 100 taels of dowry from the Zhong family. She didn't go into where the Zhong family got the 100 taels of silver.
Guo Hongyuan took the purse from Ade's hand and stuffed it into Mi Congcong's hand: "Then you take these first, and if there is not enough, you can send a letter to me, and I will send the money to you."

"Hong Yuan, thank you." Mi Congcong said sincerely.

She knew that this little money was nothing to Guo Hongyuan, but his kindness and unconditional help moved her.

As soon as Mi Congcong entered the village, he found that the eyes of the villagers who greeted him were full of sympathy and pity, and the voices of the two aunts were comforting. Mi Congcong felt very puzzled.
