I was silent, and I held Takagijuan's trembling hand tightly.

Takagijuan was stronger than I thought, maybe she didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of others, and after a short period of sadness, she wiped away her tears and listened to everyone's comments about her grandmother or the village, and she didn't say a word.

It's just that in her still trembling hands, I can feel the fragility and softness in her heart at the moment.

"What!"

At this moment, the innkeeper seemed to be stunned after hearing my words, and said in shock: "No wonder Xiao Maruko came out to harm people, it turned out that the village chief of Tiankengzi Village took the puppet away!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Qin Yiliang was still immersed in my sadness, and when he heard the innkeeper say this, he asked in confusion!

"Back then, when I knew that Maruko had turned into a ghost, a foreign merchant suddenly came to the town, and he told me that he could help me seal Maruko on the puppet's body, and go to reincarnate with Maruko beyond him, so that Maruko would not hurt people, but the premise was that the merchant would take the puppet away."

I frowned slightly: "Foreign merchants? ”

"Yes, a merchant in a long robe, with a pair of inky glasses, like a storyteller in old times."

The innkeeper himself didn't expect that things would go wrong, he begged the merchant to seal the little pill in the puppet, but he didn't expect the puppet to fall into the hands of the village chief of Tiankengzi!

I was horrified, and asked the innkeeper, "Do you recognize this foreign businessman?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know anything about him except for his appearance!"

I nodded, and at this point, except for the explanation of Gao Mujuan by this mysterious foreign merchant and the village chief, all the truth has finally come out!

Eight years ago, Maruko became a ghost because he absorbed the resentment of heaven and earth, so under the decision of the innkeeper, the merchant sealed Maruko on the puppet to overtake Maruko.

Because of the coincidence of the village chief, he gave the puppet to Dan'er as a birthday gift, and Dan'er didn't know it when he was young, and released the little ball in the puppet by mistake!

In order to save the eggs, the village chief brought back the cat cub from the merchant, and in order to prevent the eggs from being haunted by the imps, the village chief ruthlessly tied the puppet under the belly of the kitten in the form of cutting the belly, fed the little ghost with the blood of the cat cub every day, and threw the cat cub in the mountains.

Years later, the kitten has become a sick cat, and it returns to the village with a pack of wild cats, and the purpose of the kitten is to get rid of the imps hiding in the land temple.

It's just that the village chief at that time thought that the cat cub was coming back to take revenge on him, and in order to get rid of the trouble, under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers drove out the wild cats together!

But the village chief never expected that the cat cub gave him a dream that night, and the cat cub told him the truth because the little ghost was injured by it back then, so he had been possessed by the land temple, and the remains of the corpses that died in the land temple were also made by the little ghost.

Of course, this is also the reason why the little ghost wants to hook the soul and hurt everyone, in fact, this is exactly the little ghost healing, because the little ghost knows that the sick cat will definitely find it, so the little ghost must strengthen his Taoism!

Things have come to this point, it can be said that the village chief himself has caused it, and he begins to feel guilty, but to no avail, because the dead cat cub has decided to take revenge on the village for the village chief's ignorance.

This is the incident when Gao Mujuan escaped from the village and came to me and told me about the death of poultry in the village and the cat-faced old lady seen by the villagers, including the incident of Grandma Gao being buried alive!

In this small room, when everyone understands the truth of the matter, everyone looks at me and I look at you, and they have no idea for a while.

And at this moment, I saw Lao Chen from Tiankengzi Village squeezing in from the crowd, he glanced at me and said ashamedly to Gao Mujuan.

"Xiaojuan, we are sorry for you to let you suffer such a big grievance this time, I Lao Chen is also an insider in the village back then, sorry for hiding it from you for so long, at this moment the village chief has summoned the people in the village to go up the mountain and prepare to lift the coffin, if you want to know why the village chief buried your grandma alive, you can go up the mountain with me, perhaps, you can still see your grandma for the last time!"

After speaking, Lao Chen walked out of the hotel without looking back.

Gao Mujuan's still collapsed, she covered her face and burst into tears, she didn't want to let herself cry!

Seeing this, I held her hand and stepped up my strength, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will accompany you on the mountain, I hope you promise me, no matter whether grandma is safe or not, you must face it bravely, because you still have us by your side!" ”

"Yes, Sister Mu Juan, we are by your side." Qin Yiliang said comfortingly!

"Hehe, how can I miss three children."

"So are we, little girl, let's go up the mountain with you and see if we can help."

Everyone responded at this moment, giving Takagijuan encouragement and comfort.

Gao Mujuan's tears finally fell, she looked at all of us and nodded heavily!

Before we left, I looked at the lonely figure of the innkeeper and asked, "What are your plans next?" ”

"My wife and children are dead, what else can I do!"

The innkeeper's voice was hoarse: "This is my home and Zhang Wan's, maybe I will miss and repent here for the rest of my life!" ”

Perhaps, this is also an option!

As we all came to the mountain, the surrounding area was now full of villagers, and the night sky was dyed red with torches, and in the middle of them, several men with shovels were digging the grave of Grandma Gao.

Except for a few people who knew about it, the people in Tiankengzi Village didn't know the truth of the matter at this moment, only that the village chief suddenly summoned everyone to the mountain and asked people to dig up the grave, saying that there was something important to tell them.

At this time, the people of Tiankengzi Village couldn't help but be surprised and puzzled when they saw our group of people from the town!

"Everyone's here, aren't they?"

The village chief walked out slowly, his face numb, and behind him, I saw Lao Chen and several old people of the same generation.

"Village Chief, aren't you strictly forbidding everyone to go up the mountain, what are you doing to gather everyone here this big night?"

A villager in the crowd said.

"Yes, digging up people's graves in the middle of the night is detrimental to yin morality and bad luck!" Someone chimed in!

The village chief's face was calm, and he took a step forward and said: "The reason why everyone is forbidden to go to the mountain is because Gao Meizi was attacked by the cat demon and the little ghost at the same time, I am afraid that I will hurt everyone, let everyone be in the coffin tonight, because I give you a truth, I only hope that it will not be too late for me to bear the consequences now!" ”

The village chief said word by word, his words were gentle, but every sentence hit everyone's hearts: "Actually, the cat demon came to take revenge on me because of my mistake, and the little ghost also released it because of a momentary mistake, and everything was caused by me." ”

"What!"

The villagers of Tiankengzi Village were stunned, not understanding what their village chief meant.

The village chief smiled wryly, and he explained the truth of the matter to these villagers who got along day and night but were kept in the dark!

These kind and simple villagers, they only now know that their village chief is actually the one who has caused harm to everyone, the village chief they trust and treat each other warmly, what will they do?

The village chief shook his head, bitter in his heart, he only wanted the result of all this now, not to implicate his poor grandson!

Dan'er, I'm afraid grandpa won't accompany you, and in the future, you have to walk well by yourself!
