Xu Guodong just sat there and looked at Lin Laosan, not daring to speak, he felt that this Lin Laosan seemed to know something, but if he didn't say it, Xu Guodong had no way to force him to say it.

At the moment, he wanted to know more about the old Taoist priest from Lin Laosan, but looking at the situation in front of him, it was obviously unrealistic.

"Third uncle, can you..."

Lin Juan didn't come back for a long time, and Xu Guodong knew that if he wanted to know about this matter, he would definitely have to ask about it himself.

The Lin family is very mysterious, three years is enough for Xu Guodong to learn some things from the mouths of various villagers, he once asked Lin Juan, but Lin Juan said that there are some things that he cannot know, and the Lin family has secrets, but the women of the Lin family can't know too many things.

She had tried to understand something, but in the end she didn't learn anything.

However, Lin Juan still gave Xu Guodong a clue, what the Lin family was protecting, but what they were protecting, Lin Juan didn't know.

The only thing she knows is that the Lin family has been protecting this village, according to her guess, and the little things she has learned about living in the Lin family since she was a child, she can only say that the Lin family is the protector of this village, and they will do their best to protect this village no matter when.

In other words, it is very likely that the Lin family is guarding this Lin family village, because this Lin family village is where the Lin family has lived for generations.

Chinese people's nostalgia and love for the ancestral land, is every Chinese person can experience, this thing is like an ancestral home, is a person's roots, Qingming Festival to worship ancestors, because that is the inheritance.

There may not be any important skills or techniques that have been passed down, but as long as there is inheritance, people have roots in this world, and they have confidence.

This kind of thing is inexplicable, and many foreigners can't understand it, but as a Chinese, Xu Guodong can still experience this feeling.

He understood that this Lin family village was likely to be the ancestral land of the Lin family, but what he couldn't figure out was why in a huge Lin family village, the Lin family would be pitiful and pitiful, leaving only one name, but in the process of inheritance, it is normal for natural and man-made disasters to occur.

He didn't continue to embarrass Lin Juan, and the question that time was only asked once, and he never asked again.

Lin Laosan in front of him was still drinking there unhurriedly, as if this Xu Guodong was not next to him at all, turning a blind eye, talking about Lin Laosan's state at this time.

Xu Guodong didn't speak again, just sat quietly, his mind was constantly running, to find a reasonable excuse for what he encountered, and to find an explanation that could convince him to be himself, for Lin Laosan, he was not angry or resentful.

Come to find someone to help, help you is a favor, not to help is duty, when the relationship between the two is not very close, ask for someone to have the appearance of asking for someone.

Xu Guodong thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation, the previous things were easy to explain, but the changes in the yard were clear that Xu Guodong couldn't explain.

A lush, very neat yard, after pushing the door open, you will see another yard when you look back.

He guessed that the problem was most likely on the door of the house, and he wanted to go back and take a look, but he was a scholar after all, and even after three years of farming, his health was still not as good as that of the young people in the village.

A long time had passed, and the sound of rain was already ringing outside the window, and the dripping rain was hitting the doors and windows, making a dense sound.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Lin Laosan finally put down the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Xu Guodong, who had been sitting there for a long time.

At this time, Xu Guodong finally quieted down, Lin Laosan didn't help, but Xu Guodong, who had just entered the room, was too flustered, such a strange thing was not a big deal for Lin Laosan at all, and the matter of that old Taoist did make Lin Laosan a little strange.

Although Xu Guodong is a teacher and may have much more knowledge than him, many things are not known to such young people.

What Xu Guodong didn't know was that the reason why Lin Laosan ignored him and kept hanging him was not because he had no purpose, nor because he didn't want to help, but because he couldn't take Xu Guodong in that situation to investigate the situation.

What happened in the village, how could Lin Laosan not know that the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the village ran out of the village like fleeing for their lives, this situation indicates that this Lin family village, which has been calm for a long time, can no longer be calm.

What to do?

Lin Laosan also wanted to find the source of this kind of thing, but he knew that since this kind of thing happened, it would be difficult to stop it.

Xu Guodong married Lin Juan, then it is the Lin family, when he encountered this kind of thing, he was so flustered, obviously he had never encountered such a thing before, in the panic, it was difficult for people to stay calm, let alone think effectively.

This may be just the beginning, and more strange things may happen next, Lin Juan is a woman, a man, Xu Guodong naturally wants to protect her.

Therefore, Xu Guodong must calm down, and only when Xu Guodong calms down can he completely accept this matter, knowing that even if he encounters a more strange situation, he can remain sane, at least know who should be let run first when he escapes.

Lin Laosan stood up, patted Xu Guodong on the shoulder, walked outside, and found two coats, one for himself and one for Xu Guodong.

Xu Guodong was a little stunned, he didn't expect Lin Laosan to suddenly change his attitude, but he still took the coat from Lin Laosan's hand, put it on, and left the house with Lin Laosan.

Lin Juan and Lin Laosan's daughter-in-law did not come out, as if they had known that Lin Laosan would go out with Xu Guodong.

Strange things, strange attitudes, these Lin family members are more mysterious than Xu Guodong imagined.

He could only be sure now that the Lin family would not harm him, and they still regarded him as family.

The rain outside was not heavy, and the light rain was obviously disproportionate to the dark and heavy clouds in the sky, which was only a prelude, although there was no accurate way to measure it, but from the thickness of the clouds, the size of the rain could still be judged to some extent.

The outside world was dark, the light was almost completely obscured, and walking on the road, foot after foot of mud.

Lin Laosan walked in front, holding an axe in his hand, Xu Guodong didn't know why this third uncle went out with this thing, but he didn't ask much, thinking that Lin Laosan was just to prevent accidents.

The two left the house, Lin Laosan locked the door of the courtyard, and then took Xu Guodong to walk in the direction of the old Taoist's small courtyard.

The place where the old Taoist lived was arranged by Lin Laosan, and it was not very far from Lin Laosan's home.

The two of them walked on the road, and they didn't see anyone else, only some people who hadn't repaired the house well, and there were still a lot of people busy on the roof.

Xiaoyu is not a big deal for the people in the village, and what the village chief has already explained, for the sake of everyone's good, not many people go back to refuse.

Anyone can see that something is not quite right in Linjia Village at this time, and it is good to make more preparations, if there is really a heavy rainstorm and the house is damaged and wants to repair it, it will not take a little effort and time to solve it.

The two of them walked, the sky was dark, but they didn't pay much attention to the other people, and the people on the roof saw the two people walking on the road, but the sky was too dark to recognize who it was, and no one greeted them.

Xu Guodong was getting closer and closer to the old Taoist's courtyard, and his heart became more and more uneasy, as if he knew what was going on, but he was a little afraid to know everything.

He didn't doubt that they would reach the old man's courtyard smoothly, but the accident always came so suddenly, when they were less than a hundred meters away from the old man's room, a painful scream suddenly came from the roof of a house...
