Chapter 16: The Ancestral Grave Is Gone
The next morning.
I took the two peach wood tombstones that I had made overnight, and stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest of the mass grave, waiting for Sister Xia He to come over as agreed, but what I thought about was what happened after I went back last night.
"Aunt Lian" did not appear again in the family.
But the strange thing is that the fresh meals at home are never broken, and each time the pattern is different, obviously new.
Of course, I didn't eat these food from unknown sources, so I went to the village shop and bought bread and biscuits to satisfy my hunger, but the other party was not discouraged, and the next morning, it was still a fresh breakfast.
However, I sat in the living room all night making tombstones, and never saw anything coming in or out of my house.
The only time I was distracted was at 5 o'clock in the morning, when my dad was busy with his work and called me to ask me when I woke up and why I was looking for him yesterday.
I'm not telling the truth.
No, it's not so much that I didn't tell the truth, but rather that I didn't believe anything my dad had to say when it came to grandpa.
My dad and my uncle both inherited the mantle of grandpa.
With their abilities, it makes no sense that they don't know anything.
Since they know something, but they don't tell me anything, there is no need to mention what I have learned.
I vaguely said a few words, and then talked about the matter between the Xia family and the Li family, and put forward a request to learn to hunt ghosts and subdue demons from the second uncle.
After my father was silent for a moment, he decisively refused, and said that my grandfather had explained that I could not leave Fengcun before I was eighteen years old, and they could not come to see me again, so it was impossible for my second uncle to teach me.
This kind of reason naturally can't fool me.
I immediately proposed to let my second uncle teach me directly by phone, or write a notebook on catching ghosts and subduing demons and send it to me by mail.
My dad hesitated again.
I thought about it for a while, and then told Aunt Lian about it.
Of course, I didn't mention that I went to the mass grave, only that I saw Aunt Lian when I woke up, but later I heard that Aunt Lian was dead, but the meals cooked by Aunt Lian appeared on time at our table.
My dad was also anxious when he heard this.
Although not every house has a family protector spirit, or a special domain that does not allow spirits to invade, the Zhang family has been doing yin and yang for generations, and the ancestral house is specially prohibited.
Except for the spirits specially invited by the altar, no spirit can independently cross this prohibition and directly enter Zhang's house and move freely.
My dad babbled on and on and on and
I'm not stupid.
I had already looked for it at home before making the tombstone, and except for the heirloom plaque wrapped in red cloth by my grandfather, which had been changed to another place, everything else was no different from what I saw before I fell unconscious.
Even grandpa's posthumous photo was not placed at home.
I also opened the plaque and looked at it, it was completely normal, it was the position of the corners and corners, I don't know if it was knocked when it was moved, there were some wear marks, but it did not affect the wisdom of the plaque itself.
So I excused myself no, and again proposed to let my second uncle teach me.
I thought that things had come to this point, no matter how old and stubborn my father was, if he could not violate his grandfather's will, he would definitely nod and agree to let my second uncle teach me something.
Unexpectedly, my dad refused again.
I could only ask him why straight, and he refused to tell the truth for a long time, and hurriedly wanted to hang up the phone.
In the end, I reminded my dad that if he didn't tell me, I could still directly give the second uncle a hexagram and calculate the reason for myself.
He reluctantly opened his mouth.
said that my second uncle had stage 4 stomach cancer, and if the operation was successful in the past two days, he would make a vow to the Bodhisattva, planning to quit the feng shui circle from now on, and accompany my second aunt to spend the rest of the days with peace of mind.
In the end, he didn't forget to warn me that I must not tell my relatives to fortune telling.
Grandpa also said this, but after thinking about it, grandpa didn't tell me the hexagram, how could he know about Xia Lan's affairs, and I had to take care of it?
However, when my grandfather was in trouble, I didn't want to break the rules anymore and let others bear the consequences for me until I had to do it.
I aabsentmindedly responded to my father's words, but what I thought in my heart was that the tail of the seven dragons was broken, and it began to be fulfilled so quickly.
It seems that if you don't hurry up and solve it, the second uncle may even have the opportunity to withdraw from the circle on the operating table.
It was just such a phone call, and when I passed by the restaurant again, I saw the breakfast prepared by Aunt Lian.
It felt like she was behind her on the phone......
I didn't even think about it, so I just grabbed my things and went out without looking back.
I waited for half a pillar of incense at the entrance.
I saw Sister Xia He carrying a bamboo basket on her back, running towards this side in a panic, and looking back behind her from time to time, as if someone was chasing her.
I looked intently, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
No one, no Ah Piao.
However, when Sister Xia He looked at me, she didn't say a word, ran directly behind me, grabbed my arm again, and snuggled tightly to my side.
"Dog, do you think Aunt Li is crazy, she actually buried the stolen dowry in their ancestral grave, when Uncle Li went to dig the ancestral grave early in the morning, he found that the coffins of his ancestral grave were pried ......"
"Pried? And what about corpses? ”
Because of the intimate contact, the throbbing of puberty that rose was extinguished in an instant, and I couldn't help frowning and asked Sister Xia He.
I'm not surprised that things are buried in ancestral graves.
Aunt Li, who loves to be greedy and arrogant with children, is well-known in the village, and she is reluctant to spend money to see her when she is sick in the first two years, but she will try her best to meet whatever her children want.
She took these dowry gifts, she must have wanted to keep them for a few children, but the children were still young, and she was afraid that she would be discovered by Uncle Li or found by the Xia family, so she naturally wanted to find a safe place to hide.
The ancestral grave, without a doubt, is a good hiding place.
After all, Fengcun is a poor and remote place, and the villagers in the big hometown have no deep hatred, and it is impossible for anyone to dig people's ancestral graves.
It's not like I didn't think about that yesterday.
But Aunt Li didn't say it herself, even if I calculated it, it would be impossible for me to do this kind of immoral thing to encourage Uncle Li to dig up his ancestral grave, right?
To my surprise, it was just that his ancestral grave was dug up.
Sister Xia He obviously experienced the turmoil in the morning, and immediately leaned into my ear with a white face, half-covered her mouth, as if she was afraid of being heard by others, and whispered about the situation at that time.
"It's gone, all the coffins in his house are empty, and Uncle Li was dumbfounded on the spot. But strangely, the dowry is still there. ”
"Later, my dad dug it up himself, brought it back, and according to what you said, locked it in a warehouse in the northwest corner of my house."
"I wanted to go to your house to find you, but my father didn't let me, saying that you can only calculate hexagrams, and you can't handle such a big matter, so I recommend Uncle Li to find Liu Mazi."
Liu Mazi again?
Once or twice is a coincidence, but each time it's him, it's a little weird.
The connoisseurs in this area of Fengcun, in addition to our Zhang family, a family of hexagram masters, and Liu Mazi, the god stick of Shanghu Village, as well as the god of Xiahu Village, Grandma Zhao, the wizard family of Zhiqiao Village, the Lu family, and the blind woman of the medicine god who lives alone in the mountains.
Among them, except for the blind woman who specializes in healing, other people can take over this kind of thing, and the villagers have not heard of them, why are they just looking for Liu Mazi, who is a pit man?
I had a vague idea in my heart, and asked again: "Sister Xia He, you kept looking back just now, is there something chasing you?" ”
"Y-Don't you see?" Xia He was surprised, and suddenly screamed in the next second, and the whole person squeezed directly into my arms, and pointed behind me tremblingly, "That, that white shadow has been following me." ”
White Shadow?
I turned my head to look behind me.
The road was empty, and we didn't see anything, we didn't feel anything, except for the two of us.
If it weren't for the fact that I could still see the spirits floating in the bamboo forest in the corner of my eye, I would have wondered if my yin and yang eyes were gone.
But apparently, no.
Sister Xia He, an ordinary person, can see it, but I can't see it when I open my yin and yang eyes, can such a spirit exist?
I stared at Sister Xia He for a moment, but I didn't see any yin qi at all, so I couldn't help but ask.
"When did the White Shadow start following you?"
"It's that after Liu Mazi was invited, looking at me smiling weirdly, I couldn't help but scold him a few words, and I saw it when I left. Dog, he deliberately scared me, didn't he? ”
