Chapter 162: Pretending to be a ghost
Yu Jiali has learned a lot of calligraphy and painting skills from Sister Xu since she was a child, and she has a talent for painting, often painting some flowers and trees on the mountains has become another fun of her childhood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yin Seventeen naturally believed that Yu Jiali could paint that outsider beautifully, but it was obviously not now.
Now the two of them are still hiding behind thick tree trunks, unable to paint at all.
Yin Qiqi had no choice but to tell Yu Jiali that after arriving at a place where there were conditions to paint, she would ask Yu Jiali to help her draw the portrait of the outsider.
Yu Jiali happily agreed, she felt that if she could help Yin Seventeen do something, then Zhan Yan would know that she would be useful when she came back, and she would not say that she would drag Yin brother back in the future.
It can be seen that what Zhan Yan said has become a hurdle in Yu Jiali's heart.
Under the guidance of Yu Jiali, Yin Seventeen came to a most secluded and easiest wall to climb over the wall very smoothly and quickly.
Yin Qiqi leaned against the root of the wall and asked Yu Jiali in a low voice:
"How many people are there?"
Yu Jiali also leaned against the root of the wall, and learned from Yin Seventeen to hide her whole little body under the wall:
"I remember the last time it was three people!"
Although Yu Jiali is young, listening to her, others will know that her psychological age is not young.
When Yu Jiali firmly replied to Zhan Yan that she would not be held back, Yin Qiqi knew that Yu Jiali was not only very skillful in speaking, but also had her own ideas.
is like the "last time" that is answered now, that is to say, Yu Jiali is not sure if this time will be exactly the same as the last time, so whether to believe it or not, it is up to Yin Seventeen to decide.
Such a nine-year-old girl, Yin Seventeen finally began to believe that Yu Jiali had indeed become a little goddess.
Yin Seventeen said: "I hope my luck is good." ”
Yu Jiali said: "My luck has always been good! ”
So she will be fine, Yin Seventeen will be fine with her, so naturally she will be fine.
Yin Qiqi looked at Yu Jiali, who was cheering her up with a beautiful little face in disguise, and said seriously:
"Protect yourself, don't let yourself get hurt, if Brother Yin is unfortunately arrested......"
Yu Jiali said: "I won't be impulsive, I will wait for Brother Zhan to come back and take Brother Zhan to save Brother Yin!" ”
Yu Jiali would answer her best choice so wisely and calmly, so that Yin Seventeen was really stunned for two breaths, and then nodded and praised:
"Good!"
Knowing how to make the most prepared and most suitable choice in each critical place, Yin Qiqi had to admit that Sister Xu taught Yu Jiali very well.
Sure enough, I was lucky.
When Yin Qiqi took Yu Jiali over the wall, it happened that the villagers in charge of guarding this section of the wall had just passed by patrolling, and the two quietly headed towards the ancestral hall of Shuiyue Village.
The ancestral hall was built at the center of Shuiyue Village, and it used to be only a quarter of an hour's walk away from the wall that Yin Seventeen and Yu Jiali had climbed.
The ancestral hall of Shuiyue Village is not orthodox, and compared to the Ye ancestral hall, it is simply an ordinary courtyard house.
Entering the main entrance, there is an open-air patio, except for the two small cubicles on the left and right of the main entrance, and then the two rooms on the left and right of the patio, and the most spacious room in front of the main entrance.
Yin Seventeen thought, that should be the sacrificial hall, and Yu Jiali also confirmed this.
There was a coffin in the middle of the hall, so there was no need to go up to see it, and Yin Seventeen also knew that the person lying there was Sister Xu.
To Yin Seventeen's surprise, there was no one in the ancestral hall, and when she came to dodge and dodge along the way, she was almost ready to make a big move as soon as she entered the ancestral hall, but the fact was so quiet.
Not only did Yin Qiqi feel that something was wrong, but Yu Jiali obviously also felt abnormal:
"Brother Yin, when the last time the dead were killed, the three outsiders were not placed in the ancestral hall because they were not from Shuiyue Village, but at that time they also killed a villager in order to escape for their lives, and the villager was placed in the ancestral hall for three days before going out for burial...... Not a single one! ”
There was no one in the ancestral hall, and there was no need for Yu Jiali to say, Yin Seventeen could see it with her eyes, but when she heard Yu Jiali mention that when the three outsiders died, and when a villager also died in Shuiyue Village, she still cast her questioning eyes on Yu Jiali, who had not finished her words before.
Yin Seventeen said: "A villager from Shuiyue Village also died? ”
Yu Jiali nodded and said, "I only know that it's an aunt!" ”
was called "aunt" by Yu Jiali, so it should be a woman, about thirty years old.
Yin Seventeen asked, "What else do you know?" ”
Yu Jiali said: "I know about the three outsiders, of course, if Brother Yin has anything to ask, you can also ask me, I don't know what to take the initiative to say, because I don't know what is important and what is not important." ”
Yin Seventeen and Yu Jiali hid under the sacrificial case in the sacrificial hall, the width and height of the sacrificial case were enough for two people to squat side by side, and there was a heavy curtain hanging down in front of the sacrificial case.
There was Sister Xu's body lying in the coffin before the sacrifice, but Yin Seventeen couldn't take it away, because before she knew which place in this Shuiyue Village was safer than the ancestral hall, she couldn't take Sister Xu's body rashly, and ninety percent of the end would be a failure.
How to protect Sister Xu's body?
This has become the most important and most important problem to be solved at present.
Yin Qiqi thought of a way, and Yu Jiali squatted quietly to look at the pattern on the heavy curtain in front of her.
Yin Seventeen was originally thinking about the way, but thinking about it, she was obviously off track, she thought of the headless male corpse, thought of the female ghost who sang the opera, thought of Qiu Lian's father and daughter, and even thought of the three outsiders who didn't know where to go!
Yin Seventeen's ears moved suddenly, and she heard footsteps coming from outside the ancestral hall, there were not many footsteps, judging by the rhythm, it should be two people.
Yin Seventeen said in a low voice: "Someone is coming!" ”
Yu Jiali immediately nodded in understanding, and at the same time covered her mouth tightly.
Yin Seventeen was very satisfied with this.
The visitor quickly pushed the door into the ancestral hall, walked directly through the patio to the sacrificial hall, and two villagers came as Yin Seventeen expected.
The two of them glanced at Sister Xu, who was still lying in the coffin, in the sacrificial hall, and then they all walked out of the sacrificial hall, walked to the steps outside the sacrificial hall and sat down, and began to talk with each other.
The content is nothing more than some words of complaint.
The two thought that Sister Xu's body was parked in the ancestral hall and there was no need to worry about it going wrong, but Xu Dehai had to let the two of them come over and guard a dead person, that is, this dead woman was a goddess they respected before her death, and they were not very willing.
And from the voices of these two people, Yin Seventeen could conclude that these two people were the two villagers who had been left in the wooden house to guard Sister Xu's body before, and it was obvious that they were lucky enough to be drawn by Yu Dehai again and sent to guard Sister Xu's body again.
The two villagers obviously believed in ghosts and gods, but they were very afraid of ghosts and gods, and even in the daytime, they refused to approach the coffin in the sacrificial hall, but chose to sit on the stone steps under the door of the sacrificial hall and chat for a while, and then simply went to one of the small cubicles on both sides of the main entrance of the ancestral hall to continue chatting.
This situation made Yin Seventeen suddenly have an idea, don't they believe in and fear ghosts and gods, then she will create a ghost for them even if she has no ghosts!
Yin Qiqi asked Yu Jiali quietly: "You are the one who wants to inherit the Yellow Fox Immortal, so ordinary pretending to be a ghost should not be difficult for you, right?" ”
Yu Jiali really had some indigestion when she heard Yin Seventeen's straightforward words, and she frowned and struggled with her good-looking eyebrows for a while before she couldn't help but correct the four words "pretending to be a ghost" in Yin Seventeen's words, and finally nodded with difficulty.
Yin Seventeen said: "Well, as long as someone wants to touch your master's body, you can make some small moves, that is to say, you are responsible for guarding your master's body in the ancestral hall, guarding your master's body, and not giving them a chance to destroy it, is there a problem?" ”
Yu Jiali said firmly: "No problem! ”
Sister Xu is like Yu Jiali's parents, her parents died in vain, and she can't do anything, but keeping the last corpses of her parents intact is something she must do.
Yin Seventeen said: "Brother Zhan will probably bring people back before dusk, during this time, you will obediently stay here and guard your master's body, if someone finds out......"
Yu Jiali affirmed: "It won't be recognized!" ”
Yu Jiali is so confident, which is naturally a good thing for Yin Seventeen:
"Okay, then after sunset, whether it is me or Brother Zhan, if none of us come to this ancestral hall, you don't need to pretend to be a ghost to scare them, but immediately leave the ancestral hall to find a safe place to hide until we go to find you.
If you can't leave the ancestral hall, then find a secret place to hide, don't let them find you, and hide as much as you can until we come looking for you, understand? ”
Yu Jiali understood, but she didn't understand why she had to hide?
Yin Seventeen couldn't bear to tell Yu Jiali what might be ugly in reality, and he didn't have time to explain anything, so he only repeatedly told Yu Jiali to do it.
Yu Jiali nodded in agreement with Yin Seventeen, and after watching Yin Seventeen avoid the two villagers in the cubicle and leave the ancestral hall, the things in her little head could no longer calm down.
Yu Jiali thought, she is obviously from Shuiyue Village, but Yin Seventeen must let her hide, and the hiding is nothing more than the villagers of Shuiyue Village, why is this?
Before leaving the ancestral hall, Yin Qiqi asked Yu Jiali where Yu Dehai's home was in the village, and following the route Yu Jiali said, it took her a long time to find Yu Dehai's home.
The reason why I wanted to find Yu Dehai first may be because he was in the wooden house before, and he was the only one who still had some sanity in the anger of all the villagers.
But should I look for him?
Should you trust him?
Looking is absolute, as for believing, Yin Seventeen feels that it is not easy to really believe in a person in this world, especially a person who is at least half of his mind to catch her and convict her, so she feels that it is necessary to secretly observe before making a decision.
Yu Dehai's house can be regarded as a spacious and magnificent house in the whole Shuiyue Village, with a spacious courtyard, a hall, three bedrooms, a kitchen, a clean room, a thatched toilet, and a round stone table in the courtyard, five stone benches, two wooden benches, and a horizontal rocking chair next to the table.
The people in Yu Dehai's family are there, Yin Seventeen is lying outside the courtyard wall and watching everything in the courtyard, and he thinks that there are either seven people in Yu Dehai's family, or people often come to his house to run the door, but there is no half of them in the courtyard.
The door of the hall is closed, and it is obvious that people should be in the hall.
It should be the majority, if not all, of the people.
Yin Seventeen quietly climbed over the low courtyard wall, but fortunately, there was no gravel or other sharp objects on the courtyard wall to guard against, and she turned it effortlessly.
After all, it was daytime, and Yin Seventeen was more careful than night, and she silently approached the closed door of the hall and listened carefully to the door.
A rough voice said, "Father! What the hell is going on? Why do outsiders still come to our village? ”
Another softer voice said, "This is no longer the most important thing, the important thing is that these two outsiders actually killed the most noble goddess in our village!" ”
Yu Dehai said: "It can't be concluded that it was Sister Xu who was killed by two outsiders." ”
In addition to the rough voice, the soft voice, and Yu Dehai's voice, Yin Seventeen heard a fourth voice appear at this time, and this voice was relatively calm:
"Father, do you suspect anything?"
Yu Dehai didn't answer, the atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment, and the hall was completely quiet.
After a while, Yin Seventeen heard Yu Dehai's voice again:
"We've missed it once, we can't afford to miss it a second time!"
A calm voice said, "Yes, that's all human life after all." ”
Compared with Yu Dehai and the calm voice's attitude and idea of striving for the truth, the rough voice and the soft voice obviously didn't think so, the two insisted on what they had seen, and both thought that they should immediately find the outsider, kill the outsider to pay tribute to the goddess, and then forbid the outsider to step into Shuiyue Village again!
After listening to a lot, Yin Seventeen could believe that the voice that was different from Yu Dehai's inside should be Yu Dehai's three sons, and as for not hearing any other sound at all, it could only mean that there were only four people in the hall - Yu Dehai and his three sons.
What about Yu Dehai's wife and the other two of the seven?
Inferred from Yu Dehai's age, could it be Yu Dehai's daughter-in-law or grandson?
If so, then where will Yu Dehai's wife and Yu Dehai's daughter-in-law be at home at this time?
It is impossible for the strong people in the family to sit in the hall and discuss matters while the women and children go to the fields to do farm work, right?
Although she thought so, Yin Seventeen couldn't be sure, because she didn't fully understand the life of the farmer, and she wasn't sure what kind of direction it would be.
And the two sentences "can't be wrong a second time" and "after all, it's all human life" mentioned in Yu Dehai and Calm Voice's words are undoubtedly talking about the three outsiders who have been to Shuiyue Village mentioned by Yu Jiali, Yin Seventeen knows the ending of those three outsiders, but he doesn't know how that kind of death was caused.
Yin Seventeen climbed over the wall again, she left the courtyard of Yu Dehai's house, but she didn't leave Yu Dehai's house too far, she found a hidden place to hide.
As far as the current situation is not clear, Yin Seventeen undoubtedly has to talk to Yu Dehai for a good time. (To be continued.) )
