We barely slept that night. For the first time, I truly experienced first-hand the agony that Mr. Zhang had endured on a nightly basis. The six Sisters practically threw up an all-nighter party last night at the center, the strong Yin energy in the night fuelling their exuberance and excitement of being able to travel! How could anyone have hoped to even close their eyes when six ghosts, all dead in myriads of ways imaginable, were zipping around wildly in the Center in a celebratory mood!

We reached at the Wu Zhong County train station at 11 in the morning, carrying our backpacks on our shoulders. Our destination was the final stop of the train: the Beijing station, and our band, each with our bags and packs clinging to our arms, blended nicely into the crowd of youngsters traveling into the capital for work.

    Lin Feng plotted the course to our destination with his GPS. "Oh my! How nice of him to choose such a far location to meet!" He grumbled. "As if we can do anything about it," I snapped, "Just get on with it!" We were halfway into our journey, when my phone rang, and the display on the screen of my phone showed a number that I could not recognize. I tapped on the "Answer" button and answered. A male voice responded at the other end, saying that he was sent by Tao Gang to meet us. Things might have turned urgent, I guessed. We were barely halfway when they were already expecting us. I told the person that we might need some time, since we were still on the way. Hearing this, Lin Feng's foot depressed the pedal and picked up more speed. The accelerating car hastened at Lin Feng's insistent, rendering blurry scenes outside the window that made me felt dizzy and I fell asleep. In my nap, I lost track of time until I was awakened by the ringing of my phone. It

    With a crack, the ropes binding me broke simultaneously. The two women in the room screamed, which drew the other two women outside the door. At this moment, seeing what was happening, the women outside the door pulled out their guns. Pointing their guns at me, they said, "Don't move. Or we will shoot you!" Xiao San and Xiao Qi looked at each other, expressed a tacit smile, and held their guns. After that, I laughed and said to them, "I don't get it. Why do you put your hope on your guns? Are guns useful to you? It's just a concept introduced by foreigners! In their eyes, American weaponry is definitely better than millet plus rifles. But the truth is, what decides the winner is not the weapon but the capability. Like now! If I tell you that your guns will kill you, would you believe that?" While I was saying that, I snapped my finger with a crack. Then with a swoosh, Xiao San and Xiao Qi grabbed their guns and pointed it at the women! Of course, they wer

    While listening to this woman giving a lively description, doubts came to my mind. Therefore I said, "It's hard for me to buy your story. Are you going to say that my calabash gourd is exactly the same as the one in the past?" Unexpectedly, she nodded her head and said, "I am Wulan! I led these people to become bandits. After my brother died, I moved to this semi-farmland region and contracted the farm. Over these years, I have recruited many people. In public, they are farmers who have property and farms. However, in the dark, they are bandits. For men who have abandoned their wives and children, like your dad, we punish them on sight! You told me you could uphold justice for me. Now let's see how you'll do it!" I said, "Okay, I will call my dad and ask about the story!" Then I rang my dad's phone... Actually, I didn't believe that my dad would cheat on anyone.

Although Chongxi sometimes missed his shots on fortune telling, he was lucky today and figured out the right direction right away. Therefore he went ahead and waited for them. With the help of Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, these mortal women were definitely no match for him! Then he found a chair there, made slide bars, and made the women carry him all the way. What a trick!

Then Deputy Director Zhao sent someone to collect things like fingerprints. However, unexpectedly, there was no trace of the suspect in the whole house! I took up the rice paper, folded it, put it in my pocket, and said to Tao Gang, "Do you know the reason why that man replied to you with weird and short sentences when you questioned him?" Tao Gang said, "I have no idea!" I said, "The reason was that he was the man who called the police. He made a copy of the phonecard of his neighbor from upstairs and called the police. In fear of being recognized by you that he was the caller, he had to control his speech!" I took out the cigarettes, handed one to Tao Gang, lit it, and then said, "This case has been a scheme

The Sisters all cowered behind us; for reasons I knew not why, it was said since ancient times that the sound of horse hooves battering on the ground could frighten ghosts. I stretched my neck for a better view. The horse riders were all armed with semi-automatic rifles! First, we had eagles, and then wolves, and now, a band of armed brigands! "What awry luck we have! Has Inner Mongolia had always been so ravished with turmoil?" The riders rode past us only to suddenly double back. They yanked at the reins of their horses when they were near, and one of them called, "Is it Master Murong?" It was a woman, I realized. I stood up. "I am he!"
