Chapter 14: The Case of Smoke and Rain

"Hey, why are you going?" Yuebai shouted angrily, Yan Sanli ignored it, but Yanyu pulled his shirt and begged, "Senior brother, the village is so lively, let's go and see it too!" ”

Approaching the village, the sound of music playing inside gradually became clearer, and some families were doing funerals, and all they played were mourning music. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Let's go, don't look at it, just a few more steps to get to town. Yanyu, don't you want to eat Guo Mazi baked cakes in the town? "Yuebai has many opportunities to go out of the mountain, and I also understand a truth, don't be curious about anything, maybe you can't shake off any cause and effect.

After shouting for a long time, no one answered, two earthen buns squatted under the big tree at the head of the village and watched the group of people who came out inside, the blowing and blowing in front of them, the crying and crying following behind, and several men in sackcloth carried a black coffin to the west.

Yanyu was stunned and said to himself, "It's so strange, why are you carrying the empty coffin?" ”

Yan San, who was half a foot away from her, sneered, and looked at her with squinted eyes, this little Dao Gu is not a straw bag, can you see that there is no one in the coffin? Who has nothing to do on a hot day, carrying an empty coffin and crying and making trouble? How about you as a three-year-old?

Yanyu heard his sneer, looked at Yan San's gaze, pursed her lips and wanted to tell him the reason, but Yan San glared, and she was frightened to take a few steps back and keep a safe distance from him.

Following the mourning procession, there were lively people in the village, and some people saw Yuebai and the three of them, and ran to muttered a few words to an old man at the back of the team, and then the old man came over with a gloomy face.

"How many people are there, but are you from Maoshan?" The old man squinted his head slightly and asked.

Yan San looked down at the gray Taoist uniform on his body, glared at the old man who was looking at him fiercely, and got up to leave. The old man was rather embarrassed and turned his head to look at Yuebai.

Yuebai couldn't help but clench his fists, his face was ugly, and when he came out of the gate of Maoshan Mountain, the face of the sect was lost by this kid with his nostrils facing the sky.

"The donor is polite, the trail is coming down from Maoshan Mountain, these two are my junior brother and sister." Yuebai put down his luggage and politely replied.

"Oh? Is it really Maoshan? Wouldn't it be a liar from somewhere? ”

Yan San, who walked away, paused and listened to the conversation here.

Yuebai didn't expect this honest and simple old man to speak so bluntly, and he actually doubted their identity, so he immediately became anxious, and stammered when he spoke, "Donor...... Why do you ...... Why? ”

"Humph! Pretending to be a Maoshan Taoist priest at a young age, leave our village quickly, you are not welcome here. "This old man's face changed too quickly! Yuebai has not encountered such treatment in all these years of walking in the rivers and lakes, and her face was red for a while.

"Hey, stinky old man, did Maoshan provoke you? What's so good about this place of yours? Make empty coffins and go around pretending to be ghosts, and be careful to climb up from the ground and eat you. "Yan San's mouth is bad enough and cheap, generally he doesn't scold people, he scolds the most ruthless if he wants to scold.

"Huh?" The old man looked at him in surprise, "How do you know that the coffin is empty?" ”

Yan San snorted and said with a grim smile, "Why do I have to tell you?" ”

Yan Yu, who was standing under the tree, followed the distant mourning procession from beginning to end, and didn't notice the changes in Yan San and Senior Brother at all, "Let's go, let's go to the town, it's best not to come to this gloomy place." Yan San has been in a terrible mood these days, and he took advantage of the old man's hair to get angry, and left with the stunned smoke and rain.

"Three spoonfuls of salt, we can't go, the master said that the disciples of the Maoshan Sect have the obligation to eradicate the demons and monsters that cause trouble in the world, senior brother, don't you think there is something wrong in the village?" Yanyu looked at Yuebai stupidly.

A group of crows flew over Yan San's head, and his mother's feelings He sang here for a long time with a black face, stupid aunt, you are deaf and didn't hear what the old man said just now?

"Dao Chief, please stay, Dao Chief, please stay, I was wrong, it's good for me to apologize solemnly to the three of you, oops, I was wrong!"

When the old man heard Yanyu's words, he immediately changed his face, bowed down and begged them to stay.

Recently, a strange thing happened to them here, a few days ago, a person who claimed to be a Taoist priest of Maoshan was invited from outside to look at him, saying that he had collided with the local mountain god, cheated them to eat and drink, and finally cheated them out of a large amount of money and ran away, which caused a misunderstanding of the three people wearing the same clothes.

"This master, surnamed Jiang, can you please come to my house to talk in detail?" Jiang Laohan is also an old fritter, and after finding that Yanyu was good at talking, he bowed deeply to her, and Yanyu was at a loss, "Oh, uncle, don't worship me, you can talk about something." ”

Yan San gave Yuebai a look and asked him to pull Yanyu away, this kid deliberately didn't look at him, and actually followed Yanyu to the village, angry He wanted to scold his mother.

"Handsome guy, the weather is dry, can you go to my house and drink you iced tea?" I don't know when a few young girls came by beside him, and when they came up, they dragged Yan San, and the poor Demon Lord's nasal and lung cavities were filled with the smell of cheap rouge gouache, and when he wanted to ask for help, he couldn't find Yanyu's figure.

"May I ask your master's surname?" As soon as Yanyu's buttocks touched the stool, the old man respectfully handed over a cup of tea, and Yanyu hurriedly got up to catch it, "Uncle, my name is Yanyu, is that a cucumber?" It looks delicious! "More proud than tea, shisha and rain, the cucumber rack in the yard is bright green and tender.

When Yanyu swallowed the last cucumber, the old man also explained the strange things that happened in their village.

Ten days ago, a respected old man in the village died, and the family organized a funeral in a beautiful manner, which was a very ordinary thing, and the big guys went home after they were busy, but the next day something strange happened in the village.

The old man who died had a son who lived in the village, and his wife woke him up in the morning, and found that she couldn't wake him up. After a detailed examination, the doctor told the family that there was nothing wrong with it, and that it should be too sad and let them go home to recuperate.

Five days ago, the day after this son's illness, when his wife wiped his body, she found that his body was black when he was half-stretched, and then he felt that things were not so simple. So he found a fake Maoshan Taoist priest to come to the house to see his face, but he was not good at the money and was cheated away, and his wife couldn't get up from the kang because of the fire.

Someone in the village came up with the idea of using an empty coffin to go around the cemetery of the deceased old man, maybe his son had lost his soul, and maybe he could call his soul back.

While listening, Yanyu glanced at the cucumber shelf outside the window, and the mouth of the cucumber was a little unfinished.

When the old man saw this, his heart suddenly cooled, could it be that he was pretending to be a Taoist aunt to deceive?

Yes, take a plate of cucumbers for nothing, send the Buddha to the west, and ask them to leave!

"Uncle, take me to the sick man's house to have a look!" Jiang Laohan thanked him for not saying the words of sending off the guest, Yanyu got up and looked at Yuebai suspiciously, not understanding why the senior brother kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, he was obviously very good at solving such a problem, was it because the old man didn't give him cucumbers?
