Chapter 35: The Seventy-Two Dragons (2)

After Aunt Chen saluted Ye Xi, everyone began to eat, drink and chat again.

An aunt sitting closest to Ye Xi kept peeking at Ye Xi, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped. Finally, when Ye Xi went to the toilet, the aunt finally mustered up the courage to talk to her in private.

"Hello master, my surname is Li, so you can call me Aunt Li. I have something I would like to ask you for. ”

Ye Xi: "You say." ”

This Aunt Li looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to her before she spoke: "My man saw something unclean a few days ago, and he was scared half to death, and now he is lying on the bed talking crazy all day long, I hope the master will help my man!"

Ye Xi: "What exactly is something unclean?"

Aunt Li hesitated for a while and said, "It's a female ghost in red, I saw you in the middle of the night." ”

Ye Xi pondered for a moment: "Okay, you send me the address, and I'll come after I go home and get ready." ”

After eating, Ye Xi told Yi Yang about it, and Yi Yang said that he wanted to go with her and try this seventy-two dragon plate by the way.

Aunt Li is a distant relative of Yi Yang, who lives in a village on the outskirts of the city, and rarely walks around, and it is the first time he has visited Aunt Li's house.

The two took a car to the village where Aunt Li lived, and the people in the village basically knew each other, and they easily found Aunt Li's home.

Aunt Li's home is a common earthen house in the countryside, with a large yard and a willow tree planted in the yard. Judging by the trunk and branches of the willow tree, the willow tree is already quite old.

After Ye Xi came in, he looked at the willow tree and asked, "Aunt Li, who planted this willow tree?"

Aunt Li thought about it, but before she could say anything, an old voice suddenly came out of the house: "It was transplanted by my father back then." ”

Ye Xi and Yi Yang followed the sound and looked into the house, only to see a white-haired old woman walking out with a cane.

The old grandmother glanced at Ye Xi and Yi Yang, and then looked at Aunt Li: "This is the master you invited?"

Aunt Li nodded: "Yes, Mom, don't look at this master's young age, but he has the ability." ”

The old grandmother snorted coldly: "Hmph, what can a yellow-haired girl and a milky boy do? I think you are fooling me, an old woman." ”

Aunt Li was a little anxious: "Mom, I'm really not fooling you, I'm more anxious than you, you just let them try it first!"

"Hmph, if anything happens to Leizi, you will delay it. ”

The old woman chattered as she went back to the house.

Aunt Li looked at Ye Xi and Yi Yang apologetically: "I'm sorry, my mother-in-law is just a little anxious, don't worry about her as an old woman." ”

Ye Xi said that it was okay and looked at Yi Yang: "You can take out the compass and take a look." ”

Yi Yang took out the seventy-two dragon plates, put them in his hand smoothly according to Ye Xi's teaching, and meditated.

After a while, Yi Yang found that the pointer on the compass seemed to be affected by some fluctuations, and had begun to rotate slowly, and finally pointed steadily in a certain direction.

Ye Xi explained: "It's very simple to look at the compass, and where the pointer points means where it is not simple. ”

Yi Yang nodded, looked in the direction of the pointer, and frowned slightly: "Willow?"

Ye Xi looked at the willow tree: "It means that the willow tree is a little abnormal." You see, the willow tree is still growing so lush in autumn. ”

Yi Yang felt a little confused: "But I heard the old man say before that ghosts are afraid of willow branches, since ghosts are afraid of willow branches, how can they make trouble on willow trees?"

Ye Xi: "Mice are afraid of cats but not dead cats, ghosts are afraid of willow branches but not still willow branches." The willow tree is yin, and the older the tree, the more aura it has, in fact, it is easier to attract ghosts. ”

Aunt Li seemed to understand something: "Then master, do you mean that I have to cut down this tree?"

Ye Xi shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll make a decision after I know more." Aunt Li, can you tell us more about what happened that night?"

Aunt Li nodded and recalled carefully: "That day, my man went to someone else's house to drink and came home in the middle of the night. As soon as he pushed the courtyard door, he saw a woman in red hanging from the willow tree, and he was scared to sit on the ground and shouted. I hurried out to look, but he had already fainted to the ground! When he woke up, he began to babble nonsense while telling me about it, calling 'Junsheng' and 'Junsheng', and I didn't know who he was calling!"

Hearing this, Ye Xi already had some clarity in his heart.

Ye Xi: "This may be a hanged ghost, the woman you saw hanged herself was the way it looked when she died." ”

Aunt Li looked surprised and said, "But, I haven't heard that anyone has been hanged here!"

Yi Yang guessed, "Could it be a long time ago?" so you don't know. ”

Aunt Li shook her head: "But I haven't heard the old man here talk about it." ”

"Because that's not happening here. ”

The old grandmother's voice sounded again.

The old lady was already standing by the door, and she sat down on the high threshold and began to smoke a dry cigarette, and said slowly as she smoked, "I have already said before, this tree was transplanted by my father. And the thing you said about hanging happened where I used to live. ”

The grandmother was not a local, she used to live in another village, far from here.

She was fifteen years old the year before she moved here, and she had an older sister who had just come of age.

Her sister was the most beautiful girl in the village, and she, although she was a younger sister, was mediocre and inconspicuous.

Adolescent girls are always concerned about their appearance, and she is no exception.

When others talk about their sisters, they will always lament the differences between the two, and even joke that they were not born by the same mother. Whenever this happens, she falls into a deep inferiority complex and begins to hate her sister, even though she treats her very well.

In her inferiority complex and hatred, she learned to spread rumors and slander. She would pretend to be casual in crowded places and say bad things about her sister loudly, such as every day in the middle of the night, different men would enter her sister's room and come out in the morning, for example, her sister's belly would be big and small.

People are always willing to believe what they want to believe, especially gossip.

The rumor spread throughout the village for a while, and spread farther and farther, finally reaching the ears of my sister's fiancΓ©. It was the son of a high-ranking cadre who lived in the city, and a young man with a bright future.

It is said that a good reputation is the most decent dowry for a woman, and now this dowry has been destroyed by her.

At this time, not only did she not have any remorse, but she was looking forward to the arrival of a storm, a storm that could ruin her sister......
