Chapter 27: The Real Reason
I looked at Yingying in amazement, standing timidly beside her.
How can a dead man be saved? This is beyond my imagination, even beyond the laws of nature. But the girl in front of me was standing beside me alive, her heart was beating and breathing normally, except that her face was a little pale, and she was not much different from a normal person.
However, in order to save Yingying, Jiu Po also paid a considerable price.
All the wealth and luck are posted, as long as the ninth woman has a little money in her hand, she will immediately spend all the money that is useful.
Over the years, fortunately, his godson Lao Zhang is still filial and often helps, so that the mother-in-law and grandson can survive.
"Then this time, why did you kill all the people in the village? Is it really just to avenge those students?" I asked, pointing to the unrecognizable villagers lying on the other side.
"Revenge, I have already avenged all the revenge when I killed those dozen people a few days ago. Jiu Po shook her head and continued, "This time it's for other things, and I can't say it before the time comes." ”
"Don't you want to know, how did those villagers die?"
Her words piqued my interest, and I had seen the corpses of a dozen villagers before.
The distorted face was obviously very frightened.
But at that time, the rooster had already crowed, and it should have been after dawn, and there could be no ghosts.
"Is it, is it impossible?" said the Ninth Po with a mocking smile on her face full of ravines.
Next, I saw the old man next to him covering his mouth with his hand and making a rooster crow.
This cry didn't seem to come from Lao Zhang's mouth at all, it sounded very ethereal, as if it came from far away.
At that time, Zhang Ying's affairs made me anxious, and I had no time not to notice it.
"That's not right, how did the ghost thing that possessed Zhang Ying deceive it?"
"It's not difficult to raise two ghosts......
The words of the ninth woman completely shocked me.
That red-clothed ghost turned out to be raised by the Ninth Mother. Not only it, but the remaining few black shadows were also raised by the Nine Women. It is not so much the revenge of these seven students as the revenge of the nine women who killed the dozen or so villagers. The heart of the ninth woman was already dead at the moment of the death of the ninth master.
Then the departure of her son and daughter-in-law pushed her to the extreme.
And Yingying is the only concern she has in life.
It is precisely because of this that she reminded me three times and twice to leave this Huangshan Village with Yingying.
"Does the Ninth Master know, his death ......?"
"Accident, his death was accidental. Before I finished asking, the ninth woman shouted excitedly.
said before that the ninth master's death was because he went to save the child bathing in the river, but he didn't come up after saving the child.
The ghost that the nine women arranged to raise lurked in the waterhole, in order to wait for the child's father. Because the child's father was also a party who participated in the student incident that year. According to the arrangement of the ninth woman, after the child's father goes up, the child will be released, and then the child's father will be attacked.
didn't expect the speed of the ninth master to be faster, and after jumping into the water, the ninth woman who was operating remotely also panicked.
The two of them have been together for many years, and the ninth master almost knows all these things that the ninth woman does. As long as she doesn't do too much, Jiu Ye will not interfere.
But this time it involved the child, and it was also the ninth master's student in the village elementary school.
After the ninth master entered the water, he quickly found the child, and the ghost raised by the ninth mother was also a student of the ninth master, even if he had been dead for so many years, he obeyed him. Seeing that the ninth master appeared, he directly put the child up.
As for the death of the ninth master, it was a complete accident.
"What about Yingying's mother, what happened to her death?"
The death of the ninth master can be said to be an accident, and Yingying's mother was also killed by the ghosts raised by the ninth mother.
"Something went wrong at that time, and the ghost I raised was not very obedient......"
This thing was something that even the Ninth Po herself hadn't thought of, and the ghosts she raised were the same as the black shadows I saw before, and they didn't mean much, and they were completely obedient to her command.
But that time, a ghost thing unexpectedly awakened to consciousness.
This ghost thing is the powerful ghost that was possessed by Zhang Ying before.
The ghost target turned out to be the child in the daughter-in-law's body.
The death of her husband and son has made Jiu Po's heart die, and this child is her last thought.
But who would have thought that something like that would happen later, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter died.
Sure enough, what Grandpa said is right, those who raise ghosts have to pay a price. The relatives left one after another, and living was the price of the nine women. This price is inevitably too great, and even makes Jiu Po's heart become extremely distorted.
I can't figure it out, since this is already the case, why is Lao Zhang still so desperate to follow the ninth woman?
The only house in Huangshan Village that looks more magnificent is Lao Zhang's house. Although Lao Zhang is lame, beekeeping should have earned a lot of money. It is enough to feed him and Zhang Ying. As for those things of the Nine Women, it is impossible for Lao Zhang not to know, why should he be involved in them?
"If it weren't for the Ninth Master and Nine Ladies back then, I would have died a long time ago. From then on, my life was theirs. What's more, this time it was a matter that I was willing to ......"
Speaking of which, until now, I still don't know what so many villagers are sacrificing for this time.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon. ”
Jiu Po looked up at the sky that was still pouring rain, and her cloudy eyes could no longer tell whether it was rain or tears.
"It's almost time, Zhang's family, you go and prepare. ”
Jiu Po shouted, and Lao Zhang limped up and walked towards the abandoned earthen wall.
After Lao Zhang left, Jiu Po looked at Yingying next to me, her eyes were full of love: "Zheng Fan, give you one last chance, take Yingying away, don't worry about this matter in the village." ”
"Why?" this is not the first time I have asked, but the most serious I have ever asked.
"We're all going to die, and the whole village is going to die. Yingying was originally dead, and she couldn't die again. She is still young, and I am relieved that someone will take care of me. Although you have not been in the village for a long time, I can see that you are a good baby, and I can rest assured that I entrust him to your care......"
"Why, the whole village has to die, or to avenge the Ninth Master and those students?"
Jiu Po shook her head and looked at Lao Zhang who came over there.
"As I said, the student's revenge has long been avenged. Lao Jiu's death was my own fault. ”
"This time it's not for revenge, it's to bring Lao Jiu back to life......"
