Jian Li hurriedly ran over to take a look, but saw that in front of the thatched house, Lao Zhang Yuan was lying on his back on the door panel with his eyes wide open, and he was already dead.

After inquiring, I found out what happened.

It turned out that Lao Zhang's father had a serious illness last night, which was very dangerous, and he was going to take the ancestral small gold ingots to buy medicine and treat his father's illness.

But the daughter-in-law refused, saying that she had tuberculosis, and how much money she spent was in vain, and she had to leave it to her two sons for emergency relief in the future.

The couple quarreled endlessly, grabbed it for a while, and flew down to the door without paying attention to the small gold ingot.

The two hurriedly went out to pick it up, but they met two little ghosts (it was Hu Che Badao), picked up the little gold ingots and left. Lao Zhang rushed up, pursued it, was punched and kicked by two little ghosts, and bled to death after a night.

When Jian Li heard this, he was so angry that he stood on end, and shouted violently: "These evil ghosts often come to harm the villagers, if you don't eradicate them, I, Jian Li, swear not to be a human being!"

A villager said: "Jian Li: We all know that you are bold, but this ghost removal is not a joke. ”

"I'm not kidding. Jian Li was right.

"I heard that you have some kind of spiritual possession, you walk at night as much as during the day, and you can see unclean things, but is there really such a thing?" asked Villager B.

"There's such a thing, my face turned blue at that time, I can see evil things, and I caught two little ghosts last night. ”

"If you really have this ability, then remove this ghost harm for our fellow villagers, and the folks will definitely be grateful to you. ”

"Folks, please rest assured!" Jian Li patted his chest and said, "I don't need the folks to say, I, Jian Li, also want to get rid of this ghost for the folks." ”

"Good! good......"

"Good good ......"

All the villagers gave a thumbs up and cheered.

But at this moment, a woman who helped her suddenly ran out of the hut, and cried out in a panic, "Oh no! Daddy is gone, and Daddy is going again......

As soon as these words came out, it was no less than the thunder in Pingyang, and the villagers were stunned for a moment: overnight, two people died in a row. When they came to their senses, a few more villagers hurriedly went into the hut to help.

The daughter-in-law pounded her chest and pounded the ground, crying more and more to death, and the two children also cried.

Jian Li's tears couldn't help but roll down.

He turned his head, wiped away his tears, held his head high, and walked away quickly, not returning all night, and the old lady and daughter-in-law at home were still worried.

It's just that the world has been decided, although this Huang Jiachong is desolate and barren, but he can also live comfortably and self-sufficiently, but he unexpectedly suffered from the scourge of yin ghosts, if you don't eradicate this evil ghost, the villagers are always uneasy, I must get rid of this ghost!

Jian Li muttered to himself as he walked towards the house.

Suddenly, he looked up, and he had arrived in front of the door of his own courtyard, and he knocked on the door and shouted: "Ah Hua open the door, Ah Hua! Open the door......

The courtyard was silent, and there was no response.

Jian Li slammed the door again and shouted, "Ah Hua, open the door, open the door quickly......"

"You rebel! you don't work hard to live, you have to catch some ghosts all day long, you don't come back again when you go out!" Suddenly there was an old woman's scolding in the courtyard, followed by the sound of a cane falling to the ground.

"Mother: The child is not filial, the child makes the mother angry, the child is wrong to kowtow to you here. Jian Li knew that the old lady was angry, so she knelt outside the courtyard gate and kowtowed seriously.

There was no sound in the courtyard, and Jian Li had fifteen buckets in his heart, seven up and eight down, uneasy.

After a while, the voice of his daughter-in-law Ah Hua came from the courtyard: "Mother, he is also about to become a father, he always kneels outside, and the neighbors will laugh when they see it, so let's call him into the house first?"

I couldn't hear the old woman's answer, but I heard the courtyard door squeak open, and the daughter-in-law Ah Hua stood by the door with a pregnant belly, staring at Jian Li with her eyes and not speaking.

Jian Li understood what he meant, got up and walked into the hospital, first squatted down, put his ear on his daughter-in-law's pregnant belly to listen to the heartbeat of the fetus, and showed a happy smile on his face that he was about to become a father, and then went to put the sickle in the firewood shed and walked towards the hall.

The daughter-in-law, Ah Hua, closed the courtyard door, picked up the crutches, and then entered the hall.

The old woman was already sitting in the main hall, her face calm, her eyes squinting elsewhere, and she looked very angry.

The daughter-in-law first handed the crutches to the old woman, and then held her bulging abdomen with both hands, and stood timidly on her right side.

Jian Li knelt down in front of the old woman, kowtowed respectfully and said, "Mother, the child admits his mistake, don't be angry when you are old." ”

"Hmph, you unfilial son! I used to let you, but now you are about to become a father, and you are not good at living, and you want to get rid of what ghosts all day long, are you not afraid of provoking ghosts into the door and harming our family?"

"Mother, you are angry, this ghost has been harming people in the village for a long time, just now I saw Lao Zhang's father and son being killed by ghosts, this heart is really uncomfortable, I have said the words of the ghost to the villagers. Since my ancestors have subdued demons for seven generations, then I must also get rid of this demon harm for the villagers. Jian Li said resolutely.

This is not to mention the ancestors, as soon as the old woman is about to get up, the old woman can't help but burst into tears: "Have you forgotten how your father and your uncle died?

"The child remembers: I'd rather be a dog in troubled times than a demon killer. Jian Li replied in a low voice.

"Back then, my mother took you away from your hometown and hid here, just because she wanted you to be a dog in troubled times. If you have any errant pools and cut off the incense of the Jian family, how can I go to Jiuquan to explain to your father. ”

"The child knows the mother's hardship, but since the child and the mother fled to this Huangjiachong, for decades, every time the villagers help, now the villagers have encountered ghosts, I am the seventh generation after the demon, but I can't help the villagers, this heart is really unhappy. ”

"Alas...... Li'er, what you said is not unreasonable, this drop of water should be repaid with a spring, but how can you get rid of this ghost alone?"

"Mother: There are many people in the world to get rid of ghosts, last night the child also met two Taoist masters in the Tuhuang Temple, and they have gone to the county to get rid of ghosts. Before leaving, he also gave the child two pills. Jian Li said, took out the two red pills from his arms, held them with both palms, and handed them to Lao Qi with a happy face.

The old woman was sullen, her lips and teeth trembled, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her crutches and slammed into Jian Li's palm, knocking the two red pills to the ground.

If you really want to get rid of the ghosts, go to the back hall and ask your father, and if your father agrees, I won't stop you. The old woman hated to drop her words, got up with a cane, and walked towards the back hall with a slight trembling.

Jian Li didn't dare to disobey, so he picked up the two red pills, collected them in his arms, and then went to change them into clean and gray decorations, washed his hands and faces, and then walked into the hut in the backyard with his head bowed and his waist down.

The hut was low and simple, dimly lit, and only twenty square meters wide.

There are five or six spiritual seats enshrined on the offering, the top is the spiritual seat of Jane's ancestors of the past dynasties, the middle is the position of Jian Li's grandfather and grandmother, and the lower one is the tablet of Jian Li's father Jian Mengao and his brother. There are three small plates of fruit on the table, and two short candles on the left and right are swaying and swaying.

The old woman was already lying on the thatched futon, bowing and crying, very sad.

Jian Li was very frightened and kowtowed.

Although her daughter-in-law Ah Hua is pregnant, she is also side by side with Jian Li, kneeling behind her and bowing her head without saying a word.

But I heard the old woman crying: "The ancestors and ancestors are above, and now there is the seventh wife of the Jane family and her children to pay respects: since the micro-woman took refuge in Huang Jiachong, she has often been pitied and helped by the villagers, and the orphans and widows have been able to live here in peace." I can't repay the kindness of my fellow villagers, and I feel very uneasy.

Today, there are evil ghosts to plague the villagers, the child Jian Li insists on getting rid of the ghosts, if the microwoman does not agree, she will be ungrateful, if she agrees, she is afraid of cutting off Jane's incense. If the ancestors know, please manifest a spirit. ”

After the prayer, the old woman lay on the thatched futon and prayed silently.

Jian Licheng was terrified, and prayed in his heart on the next futon. The daughter-in-law Ah Hua was pregnant, kneeling for a little longer, her back hurt, so she had to put her head against the tuanpu and try her best to support it, which was very uncomfortable.

There was silence in the offering hall, except for the flame of the candles.

Outside the offering hall, the sun is slanting westward, and the time has gradually passed.

Suddenly, there was a bang, which made Jian Li jump. He looked up and saw the old mother lying to the ground, it turned out that the old woman was very old, and she had been kneeling for a long time, and she couldn't hold on.

Jian Li hurriedly crawled over, calling for his daughter-in-law anxiously, and carefully helping the old lady up. The daughter-in-law barely stood up, and came up to beat her mother-in-law's back.

After a while, the old woman opened her faint eyes and said weakly: "Li'er, it's good that you have the heart to repay your kindness and get rid of ghosts, but your father doesn't show his spirit, so you can't complain about your mother's disagreement." ”

"Mother, you are weak, go back to the room to rest first, and the child will come again to beg for a spiritual revelation from the ancestors. Jian Li said that he told his daughter-in-law to help the old lady go back to the front room to rest together.

The old woman Long Long Zhong Zhong leaned on crutches, propped herself up, and wheezed: "Li'er, if your father is really a manifest spirit, I won't stop you! If I can repay the kindness of the villagers, I will not owe anyone anything in this life." ”

When the words fell, the old woman trembled and was helped out of the confession hall by her daughter-in-law.

Jian Lifu knelt down, knelt on the thatched futon, and silently prayed for the ancestor to appear.

The streamer flies by, the stars move, and the night falls in the blink of an eye.

Jian Li knelt for several hours, kneeling straight to the point that his shoulders were swollen, his waist and legs were cramping, and Venus was scurrying in front of the curtain, but he still prayed sincerely, like a clay statue of a Bodhisattva, motionless.

The daughter-in-law, Ah Hua, couldn't sleep, sat at the head of the bed, thinking about her husband in the black light, stupid and in a daze. The old woman was lying on the bed, conscious, half-awake and half-asleep.

In the deep night sky, the stars blink their eyelids, and the light is long and short.

In the second half of the night, a white light suddenly flew from the northeast and fell straight into the old woman's bedroom.
