Chapter 917 Mad Woman

Qi Ning stood at the window, wondering in his heart that he could hear that the crying was obviously a woman. The night was faint, and a woman's crying came over, and it seemed very miserable, which was really scary. She was silent for a moment, and suddenly heard a knock on the door. Qi Ning suddenly turned around, walked slowly to the door, and asked softly: "Who is it?"

"Mr. Hou, it's me!" Mrs. Tian's voice came from outside, looking very uncomfortable.

"Is there anything wrong?" Qi Ning was very cold to her along the way and kept her distance. He also saw that this move seemed to have some effect on the beautiful woman. At least the beautiful woman had already shown an anxious mood.

"Nothing big is going on!" Mrs. Tian whispered: "Just ask if you heard the crying outside?"

Qi Ning didn't open the door, just said, "I heard, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, I cried for a long time, very pitiful." Mrs. Tian whispered: "Can I go over and take a look?"

Qi Ning had a first words, and the group of people should not act alone without his instructions. Mrs. Tian obviously remembered Qi Ning's words.

Qi Ning knew that Mrs. Tian must have felt sympathy, so she wanted to go over and see what was going on. After hesitating, she finally opened the door and saw Mrs. Tian standing timidly outside the door. When Qi Ning opened the door, the beautiful woman showed a hint of joy on her face.

"Does the crying make you sleep well?" Qi Ning asked softly.

Mrs. Tian shook her head and said, "No, I just think that woman is a little pitiful!" After hesitating, she said, "She has been there for a long time."

Qi Ning said "Yes" and said, "You go back to the house first, I'll go over and see what's going on." Knowing that he was away from home, he had to be vigilant in everything. Mrs. Tian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and left, looking a little lonely.

Qi Ning went out and came downstairs. He saw two soldiers sitting there on the bench next to the stairs, which were originally guards arranged by Wu Dalin.

Although there are not many inns in Dongyang County, there are even fewer customers. After all, they are just a small county town, and there are not many guests coming and going. Qi Ning and his group directly booked the inn. Every time they stayed at an inn along the way, Wu Dalin would send someone to guard them.

Seeing Qi Ning go downstairs, the two guards immediately stood up. Qi Ning nodded slightly and walked past the counter. Because the inn had been booked, the shopkeeper didn't have to arrange for others to move in. Only a shopkeeper was left in the hall. If someone came in to stay in the hotel, it would be better to refuse.

The shop assistant saw Qi Ning and stood up. Qi Ning walked over and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with the crying outside? Do you know that person?"

The shop clerk laughed and said, "Don't pay attention to the customer. He was a lunatic. He had been wandering around in this county town a month ago. He always cried at night, like a female ghost, and he also came here two or three times."

"Oh?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Female madman? Do you know where it came from?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just heard from them that this madman is looking for her husband!" He lowered his voice and said, "I also heard that she was carrying a child, but the child died of illness suddenly. She couldn't find her husband and went crazy all of a sudden."

Qi Ning frowned. If this were the case, the woman's life experience would be too miserable.

"You go and prepare some food, then arrange a room, and if you can, find a woman to help her wash it." Qi Ning threw a piece of silver to the shopkeeper: "Let her have a full meal and have a good sleep."

The shopkeeper took the money and thanked him deeply, saying, "The guest official is really a living Bodhisattva. Let's make arrangements for the young ones." After getting the benefits, the shopkeeper was very quick to do business and trot out.

Suddenly, when he heard footsteps, Qi Ning turned around, but saw Wei Yujiang coming down from the building. When he saw Qi Ning, he hurriedly bowed to Qi Ning. Qi Ning smiled and said, "Did he be woken up?"

"Bizhi was reading a book. He heard that he had cried outside for a long time and felt strange, so he came down to take a look." Wei Yujiang came forward and whispered: "The woman's crying was very miserable, as if she had some grievances."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "You are an occupational disease, and you cry miserably, and you think of grievances."

Wei Yujiang smiled awkwardly and said, "I have seen many people with grievances. When they cried, it is the same, so I can't help but think more." He sighed and said, "If there is no grievances in the world, that is what Huyi wants."

"There are more officials like you in the world who enforce the law impartially and seek justice for the people, so the grievances will naturally become less and less." Qi Ning patted Wei Yujiang's shoulder and said, "I heard that the woman was looking for her husband. It seems that her husband is missing."

"Oh?" Wei Yujiang was stunned. At this moment, the shopkeeper had already led the crazy woman to the store. Qi Ning looked over and saw that the woman had a unkempt face, with a layer of dirt all over her body, and had ragged clothes. When she entered the store, the crazy woman looked around, but her eyes were full of fear.

The shop clerk urged: "Come with me quickly, I'll get you some food. You have accumulated virtue in your previous life, and today I met a living Bodhisattva. Look at your body, tsk!" His tone was full of disdain.

The woman bent her body and said in a dream: "Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva is here, where is it? I want to find the Bodhisattva!"

The shop clerk pointed to Qi Ning and said, "Here, that's the living Bodhisattva. You have to remember that there are not many living Bodhisattvas like this."

The woman trotted forward and knelt in front of Qi Ning. Qi Ning was shocked and frowned. Wei Yujiang was also stunned. However, he saw the crazy woman kowtow desperately and said repeatedly: "The Bodhisattva saves Dazhuang, please save Dazhuang, I offer you incense, please save Dazhuang!"

The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide, but Qi Ning slowly squatted down and stared at the woman's eyes. Although the woman's face was covered in dirt and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, her age was only in her early twenties and would never be over thirty years old.

"Who is Dazhuang?" Qi Ning asked.

The crazy woman raised her head and looked at Qi Ning. She kowtowed her head repeatedly. No matter how heavy it was, her forehead was broken and bleeding was oozing. Qi Ning took out a silk squid and reached out to wipe the blood stains on her forehead.

"Dazhuang is my man!" The crazy woman raised her hand and pointed out: "He was captured, please save him!"

"Who was taken away?"

"Ghost, I was captured by the ghost." The crazy woman hurriedly said, "What a terrible ghost. They captured Dazhuang. I am afraid that they will capture Xiaofu, so I hide in the woodshed and dare not come out. Seeing those ghosts captured Dazhuang, you are a Bodhisattva, and the ghost is afraid of the Bodhisattva. Please let Dazhuang come back!"

The shopkeeper was afraid that the crazy woman would annoy Qi Ning by talking nonsense, and scolded, "You crazy man, why don't you talk nonsense? Come and go with me!" He was about to come and pull the female crazy man away, but Qi Ning raised his hand to stop him, staring at the crazy woman and asked, "Who is Xiaofu?"

"Xiao Fu!" The crazy woman's face was dull at first, then she got up like crazy, rushed out, and shouted: "Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu, where are you? Mom finds you father, wait for your father to come back to make a windmill for you, wuwu, come out quickly, your father will not see you when he comes back, and he will beat me to death!"

Wei Yujiang hurried forward, and Qi Ning also stopped him with his hands and followed the crazy woman quickly. The crazy woman rushed out of the inn and ran to the street in front of the door, crying and shouting, crazy. After a moment, suddenly stopped and sat on the ground. Qi Ning slowly walked to her side, and heard the woman muttering to herself: "You are all back, I'm so scared, you are all back, Dazhuang, I'm so scared!"

Wei Yujiang walked to Qi Ning and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, it seems that her husband was taken away."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and whispered, "But why did she say she was captured by the evil spirit? Is she unconscious and nonsense, or was her husband dead, she said she was captured by the evil spirit?" She shook her head and said, "No, she saw her husband being captured with her own eyes, and she hid in the woodshed with her children at that time, so she didn't dare to come out!" She turned her head and looked at Wei Yujiang and asked, "Do you think her words are true or false?"

Wei Yujiang looked solemn and said, "I can't be sure that this woman is really unconscious. Some things may be her own random thoughts, but they may not be true." He said, "Marquis, only by figuring out where this woman came from and then sending someone to investigate, maybe some truth can be found out. This matter can be handed over to the local government."

"Do you think you should alarm Dongyang County Government?"

Wei Yujiang immediately said: "Marty, maybe this woman is talking nonsense, but it is more likely that she is really injustice." She looked solemn: "Being an official should make decisions for the people. If she is injustice, the local government should have the responsibility to investigate the truth of the matter. Moreover, with her current situation, the government should also find a way to settle it."

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and at this time he heard footsteps again. He saw that Wu Dalin had already led a few people to come quickly. Naturally, the movement downstairs alarmed them.

"Marty, what happened?" Wu Dalin approached and saw the crazy woman sitting on the ground. He didn't understand the situation for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Qi Ning ordered: "Take two people and go to Dongyang County Government immediately and find the Dongyang County Magistrate, and say I have something to look for him, so it's best not to disturb too many people."

Wu Dalin immediately said, "I'll go now." Without saying a word, he took two people to find the magistrate of Dongyang County.

The crazy woman was sitting on the ground and muttering to herself, still thinking that Dazhuang and Xiaofu would come back soon. Qi Ning then gave a wink at the shop clerk. The shop clerk was smart and came up to pull the crazy woman. The crazy woman was so stupid that she let the shop clerk take her to the back of the inn.

At this time, Qi Ning saw Mrs. Tian Shin Shuo Shuo standing not far behind. She wanted to approach but didn't dare. She felt funny and walked slowly over. Mrs. Tian forced a smile. Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before asking softly: "Did you see that woman just now?"

Mrs. Tian nodded and said sympathetically: "She looks pitiful."
