Chapter 35: There is another conspiracy
Among the five people led by Qin Long, there was also an injured person, and from what I saw, it could be inferred that this person should be injured in our village.
Otherwise, how could they come to Baofeng Temple Village with an injured number to look for those five ancient lanterns.
From Qin Long's mouth, I knew that the coffin should be quite valuable, but they didn't quietly transport the coffin away that night, but carried it back to the dam to put it, which surprised me a little.
When he returned home that night, Jiu Ye asked Liu Ruoxue with a calm face if she had used some means that might reveal her identity before he rushed back to the village.
Liu Ruoxue said that she just taught those people casually, and she couldn't use those tricks that might reveal her identity.
Although she said this, when Qin Long was defeated in her hands on the spot and there was no way to take her, I obviously heard Qin Long's words: If Liu Ruoxue is what they are looking for, then someone will come to clean her up.
I told the Ninth Master the content of Qin Long's words as it was.
After hearing this, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Liu Ruoxue, if you make a move tonight, it is still very likely that you will expose yourself, you have to pay more attention from now on."
Liu Ruoxue just nodded calmly and did not speak.
I didn't want the Ninth Master to keep twisting Liu Ruoxue's move, so I said to him: "Ninth Master, the purpose of those five people to arrest me is to find the five lights from me, so they should just be playing with the idea of the ancient lanterns, and they may not cause any danger to Xiaoxue." ”
The Ninth Master glared at me, and said in a weird manner:
"Yo! Still Xiaoxue, it's only been a little time since you met her, and it's so hot. It's not the ninth master, I said that you are Wu Thirteen, and your daughter-in-law has offended a lot of people. These, when the time comes, you will naturally know! ”
I saw that Liu Ruoxue's expression became a little unnatural, and what she said to the Ninth Master had no intention of refutating, could it be that it was really like what the Ninth Master said, Liu Ruoxue really had a lot of enemies.
Liu Ruoxue didn't respond to the ninth master, but asked me: "Thirteen, if I have a lot of enemies, will you be afraid if you stay with me?" ”
If she had asked her at the time of my encounter with her, I might have felt scared. She herself appears very mysterious, and if she also brings a wave of enemies who don't know whether they are humans or ghosts, I won't be afraid of it.
But after experiencing the incident where the villagers wanted to burn her, I found that she became more and more important in my heart, and I hoped that I could protect her for the rest of my life.
I smiled at her and said:
"How can you be afraid! Xiaoxue, didn't you say it yourself, you are my lady. If you really have enemies, then they are also my enemies. Don't worry, I'll do my best to protect you! ”
The ninth master waved his hand again and again on the side, and said, "My own porridge is not cooked, but I want to take care of other people's soup." Don't look at how many catties and taels you have, you Wu Thirteen can't even control your own life, and you still protect others, do you dream? ”
I said with a straight face: "Anyway, if you don't want to fight for my life, I am also willing to protect Liu Ruoxue, can't you!" ”
Jiu Ye Pi said with a smile: "Wu Thirteen, if someone gives you a chance in the future, so that you can not only protect Liu Ruoxue, but also protect yourself, do you want it or not?" ”
I didn't think about this kind of question at all, and I just said, "Yes, of course, it must!" ”
It can be used to protect both yourself and others, and there is such a good opportunity, I'm afraid even a fool knows to say it.
The Ninth Master smiled and said, "Okay, when the opportunity comes, I'll call you again!" ”
I......
After that night, the real rescue team continued to work in our village for almost five days, and most of the problems caused by the flash flood were solved before they left.
In the past five days, several groups of strangers have come to our village.
After those people entered the village, some would go to the dry well, some would look around the locust tree for a long time, and some would go to the dam to walk around the coffin.
During this time, I also noticed that someone would quietly take out a small disc and frown, measuring something near the big locust tree.
I was surprised that there were people who would go to the cemetery to see it. On the grave mountain in Baofengsi Village, because of the big flash flood, more than 100 new graves were added in just one week.
Passing by the side of the tomb mountain, you will feel miserable. I don't know what's going on in those people's heads, how they can run around the graveyards.
And those villagers who survived were busy with some of their own post-disaster affairs, and no one cared about what these people were doing.
The ninth master came to my house twice during this period, but he always went into my grandfather's room alone to have a look, and then sat in my house casually for a while, and then he left in a hurry.
After the evacuation of the disaster relief team of dozens of people, the village of Baofengsi can be said to have fallen into silence.
Especially at night, every household is no longer the same as before, and there are still people watching TV at 11 o'clock at night.
Neither myself, nor myself would want to go out at night.
Thinking that six or seven days ago, those villagers were still talking and laughing, but now they are separated by yin and yang, which makes me feel desolate.
That night, not long after Liu Ruoxue and I finished dinner, the ninth master brought a middle-aged man to my house.
The man stood at the door of my house with a closed umbrella on his back, and after seeing Liu Ruoxue, he was a little hesitant and refused to enter the house.
The ninth master said: "It's okay, you and her go their own way, do their own things, and they won't fight." ”
I didn't understand the meaning of the ninth master's words, but I saw Liu Ruoxue's expression change slightly.
After listening to the words of the ninth master, the man stepped into my house.
When he entered the house, I could see his appearance clearly. I saw that the man's eyes were dim, but there was an inexplicable aura on his body.
The man stared at me for a moment, smiled strangely at me, he nodded, and then pulled the Ninth Master to the side and whispered something to the Ninth Master.
In the process, the ninth master also pointed at me while talking.
After they had a conversation, I saw that the ninth master's face was relaxed, and he raised his voice and said, "The person I want you to help watch is in that room!" ”
It turned out to be the person invited by the Ninth Master to help me save my grandfather, and I couldn't help but be in awe of that stranger.
I followed them into my grandfather's room, and the man put his finger on my grandfather's forehead, pressed it, closed his eyes, and began to babble something.
Soon his hand flicked back, his expression changed, and he said to the ninth master: "Whether this matter is successful or not, in three days, I will come here to give you information!" ”
After the man left, I said, "Ninth Master, you are really good, you invited a helper so quickly, but what is the origin of that person, will he be even more powerful than you?" ”
The ninth master said: "This time I have to explain, it's not the ninth master how good I am, he is looking at your face, so he agreed to help find your grandfather's soul together." ”
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, for my sake? Can I have such a big face!
"Ninth Master, don't be joking, I know how many catties and taels I have, how can others look at my face and do things."
Liu Ruoxue interjected: "Thirteen, he is right, that person just agreed to help based on your face." ”
I froze where I was, not understanding why.
The ninth master said: "In addition to helping find your grandfather's soul this time, he may come to you in the future, and when he wants to ask for something, you had better help." ”
Since the Ninth Master has said so, I can only say, "Okay! If there is a day, I will help as much as I can! ”
The three days came quickly, and the man really came, and the ninth master was already waiting for him at my house.
The Ninth Master frowned and asked the man, "How is it, what's wrong with his soul?" ”
The man looked at me, and he said with a sad face, "Ninth Master, let's take a step to speak." ”
The ninth master said with a serious face: "It's okay, it was originally related to his grandfather, and some things could be told directly to him." ”
The man hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "Wu Thirteen's grandfather's yang shou should have been exhausted as early as half a month ago, the day he dug the arrow stele!" ”
At this point, the man paused.
I was secretly taken aback, could this person in front of me come from the underworld, how do I know how much my grandfather has a long life.
When I heard him say that my grandfather's yang life was exhausted, my heart couldn't help but beat faster. I heard the rumors of the old people that the day when the yang life was exhausted was the time when the lights went out when people died.
So, my grandfather died the day I dug the arrow monument? When I think of this, I immediately feel very sad.
I never expected that the ninth master had helped me for so long, and what I got was such a news.
But the man's words rekindled a glimmer of hope for me.
He paused for a moment, and then said, "But someone forcibly extended his life by some means." ”
When the Ninth Master heard the man's words, his expression also changed, and he said to himself: "It would be interesting to renew the life of a person who is nearly seventy years old." ”
Then the man told me even more shocking news, and I couldn't believe that such an incident could have happened in our village of Baofengsi.
He said slowly: "More than 100 people died in Baofeng Temple Village this time, and I didn't receive any news below, and the longevity of these villagers was not over on the yin and yang thin, so naturally I didn't notice it. ”
Hearing this, the Ninth Master asked thoughtfully, "Then what do you think is the problem?" ”
The man thought for a moment and said, "These people died unexpectedly, but their souls did not go down to hell, and someone must have interfered with them and received them all somewhere." Otherwise, someone would have been sent up a long time ago. ”
The Ninth Master looked at me and said to the man with a solemn face, "Hmm! I already have a rough idea of this matter, so please keep it a secret for now. If I can't settle this time, I'll come back to you again. ”
The man nodded, got up and left my house, and when he was about to go out, I ran over to him and said, "Thank you, big brother!" ”
He turned around with a surprised expression, fell silent, and said to me, "My name is He You, and you and I will have a chance to meet again in the future." ”
I reluctantly smiled at him, but I was still confused.
After He You left, the Ninth Master said to Liu Ruoxue and me:
"You two together, come with me to Li Cripple's house now."
Isn't the cripple Li already dead, what are you going to do at his house?
Although I had doubts in my heart, I still followed the ninth master to Li Cripple's house.
Li Cripple was alone, and the village pooled money to bury him, and since his death, the house has been abandoned.
But what made me feel amazing was that the house of Li's lame family, like mine, was not affected by the flash flood that night.
The torrent diverted from the left and right from twenty meters behind his house, as if some invisible force had blocked it.
The Ninth Master did not immediately enter his house, but went around the outside of the house.
"Well, a flash flood has turned the entire Baofeng Temple Village into this house, and it's done wonderfully!"
The Ninth Master sighed and said, "I'm afraid that when those three old men were alive, they didn't expect anyone to use this kind of trick." They deceived me all! ”
After observing outside Li Cripple's house, the ninth master looked confident.
Immediately, the Ninth Master came to the gate of Li Cripple's house, removed the three tiles that were pressed on the ground and placed strangely, and then he said, "Thirteen, let's go into the house and have a look." ”
I walked ahead in response, and when I pushed open the door of Li's lame house, a stench of rotting corpses immediately hit my nose.
