"Shadow girl, wait a minute, I'll answer the phone. ”

After glancing at the caller ID, Lian Ge smiled at Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the phone.

“...... Hang up, your mother-in-law will be back soon, I have to go and clean up the bowl after eating, otherwise your mother-in-law will talk again. ”

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying heard that Lian Ge had something, so she first sat up straight, and then took the initiative to say,

"Okay, then I'll call you later. Looking at Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the video call, Lian Ge smiled slightly.

"Okay, then, if you forget, hum ......"

As she spoke, Gu Xiaoying reached out and hung up the phone while holding the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

......

“...... Buzz, buzz. ”

ended the call with Gu Xiaoying, and the room was much quieter, only the mobile phone was still ringing,

Turning his gaze and looking at the caller ID again, Lian Ge connected the phone.

“...... Little song,"

"Second uncle. ”

It was the second uncle of the Lian family who called, and as soon as the phone was connected, the voice of the second uncle Lian rang,

turned on the hands-free, and Lian Ge responded.

“...... Xiaoge, you're still outside...... Let's travel, where have you gone? ”

Second Uncle Lian's voice rang on the other end of the phone again.

"Chase. In the province of Southern Guangdong. ”

Answered, Lian Ge asked again.

"Second uncle, do you have anything to do?"

“...... Hmmm......"

Hearing this, Second Uncle Lian paused, and then said again,

"Xiaoge, see if you can come back......"

“...... Boom!"

“...... Oops...... What are you doing beating me, old man......"

“...... What are you going to do for me...... Turn up the sound louder...... It's so old, and I can't talk ......."

On the other end of the phone, before Second Uncle Lian's words were finished, he seemed to be beaten, and then a little farther away, Uncle Tai's words sounded,

“...... Old man, come on, come on, I'll turn on the speakerphone for you......"

It was Uncle Lian's voice again, followed by the mobile phone being turned on the speakerphone, and it was left somewhere, and the voice on the other end of the phone became more and more noisy.

“...... Second Uncle Lian, can you please turn on the video phone as well...... Let Master Lian see the situation here, and we can talk to Master Lian about ......"

It was the voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone.

“...... Yes...... Xiaoge, can you make a video call? ”

Second Uncle Lian on the other end of the phone answered, followed closely, and said loudly to Lian Ge on the other end of the phone.

"Okay. ”

Lian Ge stretched out his hand and turned on the call camera again, and immediately after, the picture on the other end of the phone also appeared on the mobile phone screen, appearing in front of him,

Putting the phone on the table in front of him, Lian Ge glanced at the other end of the video call.

On the other end of the video call,

It was in the courtyard of Uncle Tai's house, the mobile phone was resting on the stone table, and in front of the mobile phone next to the stone table, there were a few people crowded.

Uncle Tai, who was holding a cane, let go of the second uncle Lian who was on the side, standing beside Uncle Tai, a little restrained, a middle-aged man standing with his hands in his hands, an old lady with a bent waist and wearing an embroidered cotton jacket, and a young man standing next to the old lady with half of his body out of the camera.

There is a thread on the top of the yard, and an incandescent lamp hangs downward, illuminating the yard and the people in the yard.

It's just that the mobile phone camera is facing the incandescent lamp, which makes the figures of several people under the lamp a little blurry.

"Second uncle, turn the phone around and change the direction. ”

After glancing at it, Lian Ge's tone was calm, and he said loudly,

“...... Let me see...... Okay, I'll turn the camera in the other direction......"

On the other end of the phone, let the second uncle Lian who had stepped aside walk again, looked at the picture in the video call, reacted, took the mobile phone, walked around the round table, and turned towards the place with his back to the light.

The uncle, who was originally in the range of the camera screen, slowly walked around the back of the round table with a cane, and the somewhat restrained man followed the direction of the camera, always in the range of the camera screen, and the old lady also followed, moving step by step to the side, and the young man who was outside the range of the camera disappeared into the camera range.

“...... Xiaoge, this should be fine. ”

Second Uncle Lian looked at the picture in the camera and adjusted the direction of the mobile phone.

Turning the phone in the direction of the backlight, Second Uncle Lian got out of the way again.

Nodding, Lian Ge looked at the other end of the video call again, and the picture was much clearer,

After the mobile phone was stabilized again, Uncle Tai walked to the mobile phone again with a crutch.

The somewhat restrained middle-aged man was still standing beside Uncle Tai, holding his hand, bending over a little nervously, lowering his head, and looking at Lian Ge on the other end of the video call.

The old lady in the embroidered cotton jacket looked to be in her seventies, her hair was gray after not combing much, and the skin on her face was sagging.

The two fingers that have been a little deformed are tightly pinched and clenched, his face is a little haggard, his eyes are a little red, and he is also bent over, looking at Lian Ge on the other end of the video call,

And the young man, who doesn't seem to have gone around this side with the phone, is still off the screen.

“...... Xiaoge, this is not far from us, the village chief of Quhe Village, the village chief of Quhe. ”

Uncle Tai paused with a cane, then turned his head to look at the somewhat restrained middle-aged man, and turned back to Lian Ge to introduce a sentence.

"Chief Qu. ”

Lian Ge nodded and said a word.

“...... Master Lian, Master Lian called me an old song. ”

Hearing this, some restrained middle-aged men hurriedly moved half a step forward, paused again, and said loudly.

“...... Before, Xiaoge, when you went out, I could call you if there was anything...... After you went out, many people came to look for you. I want to find you to host a red and white wedding ceremony......"

Uncle Tai paused again with a cane, looked at Lian Ge and said,

“...... I did what you wanted, and asked your second uncle to help you push these things...... This time, Village Chief Qu encountered something in their village...... It's not the first time I've come back, when I came before, I thought about things that didn't bother you, you were outside, and it was troublesome to come back, so I didn't call you...... Village Chief Qu, they've been here a few times, and I've heard them talk about it, but they can't help it...... I'll call the shots and let your second uncle call you. I'm sorry for you. ”

Listening to the words of the uncle on the other end of the phone, Lian Ge shook his head slightly,

"Uncle Tai has something to ask the second uncle to call, so don't bother if there is any trouble. ”

When Uncle Tai heard this, he nodded, and didn't say anything more.

“...... Then let the village chief Qu tell you about it himself...... The two next to them are the masters. ”

After another sentence, Uncle Tai moved his foot to the side with a crutch and got out of the way.

Listening to the words of the uncle on the other end of the phone, Lian Ge nodded, then turned his gaze and looked at the people in the video call screen,

And just as Uncle Tai was talking, the young man who disappeared into the picture because he moved his mobile phone before walked back into the picture.

This time, the young man was not only half of his body in the picture.

Standing beside the old lady, the young man also bowed his head and was somewhat silent.

"Village Chief Qu, bother to talk to me. ”

Glancing at the young man beside the old lady, he moved his gaze slightly, retracted his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man again, his tone was calm, and he said out loud,

“...... Master Lian ......"

The middle-aged man answered first, opened his mouth again, and stopped talking a little.

But after all, he still spoke,

“...... Our village, haunted ......"
