Chapter 45: Shen Lao Dao
When the three of us saw that the blind mother-in-law had given the order to evict the guests, we didn't dare to delay, and we left the courtyard in a few steps. The little girl who was playing at the door saw us come out and went in and closed the door herself.
I looked at the stone statue at the door, and the third child touched his chin: "You said that if these two things are terracotta warriors, it is unlikely." It's not as magnificent as a stone lion!"
Wang Jing ignored the stone statue and glanced at his watch: "Let's go, it's only one o'clock in the afternoon." It's early in the evening, so let's go find something to eat. ”
The third child and I were also hungry and rumbling, and we didn't care about the things at the door of the blind mother-in-law. I suddenly remembered the little girl: "Sister Jing, that little girl, I don't look like a living person." ”
The third child patted me on the shoulder: "Dude, I don't think you slept well? ”
Wang Jing thought for a while and said, "Indeed, she doesn't have all the qi that a living person should have. It's more like a spirit than a person. ”
Spirits are different from ghosts, people become ghosts only when they die, and everything has a spirit. I couldn't figure out why there was a spirit. It's not bad for us anyway, it's better to have more than less.
It seems that the third child didn't run around the village when he was a child, and there were always people who greeted him along the way, and he was also affectionate with his uncle and aunt.
After walking for a while, we finally returned to Shen Jian's second uncle's house, but a burst of fragrance wafted out of it, and the three of us were even hungrier. Walking two steps into the house, there are four hot dishes on the living room table, both meat and vegetarian, no worse than the restaurant.
We were still wondering who made it, Fu Jiu came out of the kitchen next to the living room in an apron, and served a dish. Fu Jiu put the dishes on the table, unbuttoned his apron, took out a few talismans from his pocket and pressed them under each dish, and said to us: "Move the stool yourself to eat, move five, go to the kitchen and get five dishes and chopsticks." ”
As soon as I thought about it, there were four of us, and the fifth, could it be that Shen Jian came back?
"Xiao Shen Shen can't come back, he still has to patrol. The third child wiped his saliva.
"It's not him. Fu Jiu picked up the rest of the yellow paper, "It's his second uncle." Don't come in yet!"
Fu Jiu shouted at the door, I suddenly felt a coldness, and quickly turned my head to look at the door, a ghost with a bloody face stood at the door, looking at us with a smile: "What, I'm causing trouble to Brother Jiu and you." ”
Fu Jiu pulled out the curtains, pulled a chair and sat down: "Don't be stunned, let's eat together." I've treated it with talismans, and people and ghosts can eat it. ”
"This is Shen Lao Dao?" I asked Fu Jiu in a low voice. Originally, I wanted to ask him how he died, but I was afraid of arousing the sadness of this dead ghost. I took a closer look at Shen Lao Dao, this is not the same as the old Tao I imagined, and there is no Taoist robe or anything.
Lao San and Wang Jing couldn't see the ghosts, but they could see the chopsticks with talisman paper being picked up and the vegetables they were holding were devoured. I can see him, I look at his eating appearance, could this thing be starving to death?
Fu Jiu casually brought a small bottle of liquor and handed it to Shen Laodao, but Shen Laodao didn't move, and as soon as his lips pursed, he saw that there was a little less liquor.
"I felt that the aura here was not quite right, so I found the back mountain and took a look. I found two things in the back mountain, one of which was Shen Laodao, who was constantly wandering. Fu Jiu also took a bite of food, and seemed to enjoy his craft with his eyes closed.
"What about the other?" I was so hungry that I was not polite when I saw that they had all come to eat.
"The other one is a pit. Oh, damn it! That's my ribs. Leave me a mouthful!"
"What pit, what pit?" I didn't figure out what the pit was.
"There were a hundred or so figurines and a pile of bones of livestock buried in the pit. ”
I suddenly lost my appetite. Could it be that this corpse figurine is still alive to catch animals and eat?
"It's not impossible. Or rather, someone is feeding the figurines. Fu Jiu devoured it, and it seemed that he was really hungry, "I don't know the specifics, I'm going to take a look again at night." How's it going over there?"
I told Fu Jiu about the blind mother-in-law's place, and Fu Jiu also wiped his mouth when he was full: "That's okay, let's go together in the evening." ”
Shen Laodao suddenly put down his chopsticks: "This corpse figurine has become a fine, if it weren't for so many corpse figurines, I wouldn't have died there!"
It turned out that Shen Laodao came back when he knew that the cattle in the village had suddenly disappeared, and he planned to see which demon was causing the trouble, and found that the evil qi had gathered in the back mountain, and he followed him over to find the corpse warrior pit. Just as he was trying to find a way to destroy the corpse figurines, someone suddenly stoned him, and he was stoned to death. The corpses were fed to the figurines, and the ghosts were always hovering there.
"Don't you know who smashed you?" Wang Jing also finished eating and asked.
Shen Laodao shook his head: "I don't know. ”
It seems that there is no hope for him either. But why did we come to him? If you want to say that someone dies, the first thing that appears should be the ghost, so the underworld should also know, could it be that my ghost daughter-in-law doesn't know that he is dead?
Just when I thought about it for a long time and didn't know what was going on, the third child had a full burp and reminded me that I was still hungry.
"Damn, you didn't give me any left?" Just as I was thinking about something, a few of them actually finished a table of dishes?
I had to take a few bites of rice, and I ate some.
"After you die, there is no ghost to take you away?" Fu Jiu asked Shen Lao Dao with gritted teeth.
"Nope. If there had been a ghost to pick me up, I would have been reincarnated a long time ago. Shen Laodao stared at the remaining half bottle of wine, as if he was struggling with whether to drink it or not.
Fu Jiu thought for a while and said to me: "The ghosts in this place are not under my control, I remember that the ghost in charge of the ghosts in this place is a newcomer, and if he has good ability, let him be next to my jurisdiction." As usual, he wouldn't let the ghosts go. Unless... ”
"Unless, he killed Shen Lao Dao, and the corpse warriors were also done by him. Wang Jing guessed.
"It's not hard to explain why the second boss asked you to come to this dead ghost. ”
Co-authoring us again to use us as guns?
"Oh no, no, no!" Shen Jian ran in, panting and holding on to the door frame, "Come quickly!"
"What's the matter, Xiao Shen Shen?" the third child handed Shen Jian a glass of water, "Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"
Shen Jian gasped and looked anxious: "I still have the heart to joke!
"What?" my mind buzzed, we have to go to her at night, why did she die like this?
"Someone in the village said that after seeing you coming out of the blind mother-in-law, there happened to be an eldest lady's child who was sick and looking for the blind mother-in-law, but as soon as she entered the house, the blind mother-in-law was covered in blood, as if she had been hacked to death!"
"Let's go, go and see what's going on!" I pulled Wang Jing and wanted to go, in fact, I was afraid that the ghost of the blind mother-in-law would be scattered, I must know what she said! That is the clear way for us!
Shen Jian stopped me: "Don't mess around! Now the villagers are saying that they will go to the police to arrest you!"
I gave the third child a look, and the third child hurriedly hugged Shen Jian: "You don't know what kind of person is buddy? We can't do this thing about killing! Let's see what's going on!"
I ignored the third child's nonsense. If the blind mother-in-law's death was not because of me, why didn't she die early or late? If Xu Lingxue really wanted to stop me like before, then the ghost of the blind mother-in-law would be scattered later!
Thinking of this, I don't care about others, just pull out my legs and run!
