Chapter 11: Seeing is believing

Grandpa, he, walked back here by himself?

I was shocked when I heard this, and asked her again: "Sister Xia He, are you sure you see my grandfather's corpse, not ......?"

Did you accidentally hit a ghost?

I'm afraid that Sister Xia He will be afraid, and I'm embarrassed to say it too directly. But she also heard what I meant, her pretty face turned from red to white, and she endured it for a long time before shaking her head.

"I'm not sure."

As she reminisced about the scene, she stood up again and grabbed my arm, trembling in a trembling voice.

"At that time, it was very dark, and I, I saw Grandpa Zhang's bleeding corpse, and I fainted in fright."

"When I woke up, I had already returned home, and when I heard that Grandpa Zhang's body was missing, I subconsciously mentioned that he might be in a mass grave, but I didn't expect it to ......"

Xia He didn't finish his words.

But I already understood what she meant.

Because she sneaked away to the mass grave to worship Aunt Lian, something like this happened, and she was frightened for a while, thinking it was a dream, but the result was that things were as she saw, and her grandfather's body was really found in the mass grave.

With the first time, my dad and the others found that grandpa's body was missing, and everyone had a direction to look for, so there was no need for witnesses to point out where grandpa's body was.

But corpses can walk, it's simply ridiculous!

Except for the special technique of chasing out corpses, which can make corpses walk like people, I haven't heard of other yin-yang techniques that can do it.

Of course, if Grandpa has turned into a zombie, he can still be guided to the mass grave through a charm.

But that would have to be a spell on Grandpa.

Moreover, it came by jumping, and there is no such thing as walking back.

My dad is only good at hexagrams, but my second uncle has a deep knowledge of charms. If Grandpa's corpse was really controlled by a spell, he must know very well how to solve it, and it was impossible to let the corpse be buried and run away three or five times.

I had a vague guess in my mind.

It's true that Sister Xia He doesn't look like she's lying, but that doesn't prove that what she's seeing is the truth.

With her guts, it was certainly not here at night.

In the daytime, but when it is very dark, the only thing she can provide light in her hand is her mobile phone.

There is a high probability that what she sees may be wrong.

When I was a child, I was scared by someone with a flashlight, and I know that it is obviously a face that you are very familiar with, but in a dim environment, after the sudden irradiation of the flashlight, it is as if you have become an unknown person.

However, hearing is false, and seeing is believing.

If I want to know the truth of the matter and let my grandfather be buried in the cemetery of my choice, I have to test it myself to find out what Sister Xia He saw that day.

Anyway, the elders are not in the closed village now......

Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate any longer, simply pulled out the bamboo tablet in front of my grandfather's grave, and turned around to remind Sister Xia He.

"Sister Xia He, using this bamboo strip as a tombstone will only make the soul of the deceased uneasy. Why don't we gather here at the same time tomorrow and change the tombstone of peach wood for Grandpa and Aunt Lian? ”

"Restless? I'm sorry, I don't know......" Xia He heard that the situation was so serious, and hurriedly apologized to me, "I, I must be there tomorrow!" ”

I nodded, and said that the tombstone was prepared by my side, so I stepped forward to pull out the bamboo tablet in front of Aunt Lian's grave, and took the two bamboo tablets and Sister Xia He out of the mass grave bamboo forest together.

It went smoothly when it came out.

It seems like the ghost hit the wall just to prevent me from finding my grandfather's grave.

But Sister Xia He was able to easily take me out of the area where the ghost hit the wall, which shows that her life is not simple, and it is probably no coincidence that she will bump into her grandfather and return to the mass grave.

That's why I invited her to come with me tomorrow.

As soon as we left the mass grave, the weather turned cloudy to clear, and the sun jumped out behind the dark clouds, and the water vapor on the ground was quickly evaporated.

When I sent Sister Xia He back to Xia's house, Xia Lan was drying chili peppers at the door, and when she saw the two of us appearing together, she immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Dog, when did you wake up? Also, sister, why did you go looking for the dog again? It can't be that you're still worried about moving our mother's grave, right? ”

"Xiaolan, what are you talking about?" Xia He suddenly lost his breath, "Why don't you want to think about it, who is the dog unconscious?" Who did our mother die for? What kind of place can you bear to see our mother buried? ”

When she said this, Xia Lan's expression immediately changed.

Obviously, Aunt Lian actually blamed herself in her heart because of her accident, but life is still going on, and the life that she finally saved can't be given in vain, so she has to pretend that she is fine.

Seeing Xia Lan break the defense, I hurriedly grabbed Sister Xia He: "I know you care about Aunt Lian, but Xia Lan is also a victim and should not be condemned like this." ”

Xia He stopped talking, turned his head, and entered the house sullenly.

Xia Lan looked at her back and wanted to open her mouth several times, but in the end she didn't say anything, just smiled and thanked me dryly, and went to dry the peppers again.

I like Xia Lan's mood, and it can't be changed in three or two clicks, seeing that she is unhappy, I feel uncomfortable, so I hurriedly stepped forward to help.

She looked at me, smiled, didn't stop my kindness, and casually explained it to Xia He.

"My sister is usually very good to me, maybe she just went to see my mother, and she felt uncomfortable, and her tone was a little rushed, you don't have to worry about me."

"I know."

I smiled and didn't tell her that I had an appointment with Sister Xia He tomorrow.

After Xia Lan quickly dried the chili peppers with her hands and feet, she came into the house and poured me a glass of water. I was about to say goodbye, but when I saw that her mood had stabilized a lot, I took the glass of water in her hand.

"Charan." I struggled for a moment, but still asked, "Do you remember when I helped you solve the spirit contract?" ”

"Of course I do, but you only woke up once that day after you fell unconscious, and I didn't have time to formally thank you. Just now you're awake......"

Xia Lan nodded, stood in front of me in an orderly manner, and then bowed solemnly, a standard ninety degrees.

"Thank you, dog."

"No, I'm not here to thank you." I hurriedly reached out to help her up, looked at her pretty little face steadily, and said my intentions in a deep voice, "I just have something to do and want to confirm with you." ”

Xia Lan blinked, her face full of doubt.

I didn't go around the bend with her anymore: "I remember, after you woke up, Aunt Lian fed you porridge, right?" So what happened to Aunt Lian's death? ”

Aunt Lian's death.

These four words made Xia Lan's eyes red immediately.

But the expression on her face was a little strange, she was completely in a state where she wanted to say something, but she didn't know whether to say it or not, and how to say it.

I knew the guilt of this loved one for dying because of me, and I didn't rush her, just quietly waited for her to make up her mind.

As her savior, although she can't give me emotional feedback, I believe that she will still give me this trust.

Sure enough.

After being silent for a moment, Xia Lan slowly opened her mouth: "I do remember that my mother fed me porridge and told you that Grandpa Zhang was gone, but after you passed out, I also fell asleep for a day." When I woke up, my dad said to me......"

She paused, took a deep breath, and then continued with difficulty.

"My dad said that when my mother went to look for Grandpa Zhang, she accidentally fell into the river, or Uncle Li next door went down the mountain and saw it, and fished people up, but it couldn't be saved. We were in a coma at home, and Uncle Li also found out. ”

"Dog." She called out to me in a trembling voice, "You say, is my mother we see just like me at that time, only a soul?" ”

Xia Lan has experienced bizarre events herself, so she doesn't need me to explain any more, she can guess something herself.

But I had a hunch that things weren't as simple as she thought.

I nodded solemnly, didn't refute her words, didn't go any deeper into the topic, put down my glass and prepared to go home to get down to business.

Just after walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked her: "I reminded Aunt Lian that day, I want to lock up the dowry gifts from the other party in the northwest corner of your house, are the things still there?" ”

Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head blankly: "I don't seem to have seen those things at home......"

Broken!

As soon as I heard this answer, my face immediately changed.
