Chapter 18: Night Talk

It would have taken six or seven hours for the city of L to get here, and it should have been ten o'clock in the evening, and it seemed that everything would have to be settled tomorrow.

After eating, I didn't have anything to do, so I chatted with my mother, but at three o'clock my grandfather was going to work in the fields.

He is a farmer, and he has been a farmer all his life, the land is his life, and the thunder cannot be moved, even if the grandson who has not seen him for a long time comes back, it will not change. Old man, sometimes this thought is engraved in his bones, and it will not change again.

"You don't have to look for me at night, you've been driving for the day, so take a break."

I nodded, there weren't so many polite words between family members. And I left Xu Jia at home and asked her to talk to her mother, and I was going to go around the village to see if there were any clues.

I took three sticks of incense, some fruits, and came to a grave after eating, this is the grave of Zhao's mother, without banknotes, although the paper filth has been solved, but don't cause some unnecessary trouble.

"Old Mother Zhao, I'm okay, maybe, I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to be the same person as you, I'm not a big person, I just want to protect my family, I may not be able to help this village, the cat demon is still there, I'm afraid it will be more serious in the future, it's just my feeling."

"The emotions are slowly disappearing, and it feels good, I have always been lonely, but now there are people who are good to me, but I am almost out of feelings."

I kept my head down.

Kowtow three times and leave.

After all, Zhao's mother has helped me too much.

The village, which has not been back for a long time, has undergone a lot of changes, with two-story small western-style buildings and a previously unseen oil cedar road. The weather was really nice today, and even I could still feel the eerie fog around me.

"This should be the house of the little hunchback's son."

The small courtyard in front of him has been pasted with a mourning couplet, informing people that there is no one living here, and white represents purity, but sometimes it also symbolizes death.

"Who are you, what are you hanging around here."

There was a scolding voice behind him, a little old man who was not tall, hunched over and looking at me, I remembered, this is the little hunchback, I also saw it when I was a child, because my grandfather is very old, the little hunchback has to call me uncle.

"You are the grandson of the second grandfather (grandfather)."

I nodded

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to know something. About that time. ”

"There's nothing to say, you go."

The little hunchback is gone, but the smell in this house is still very serious, and even after two years, there is still some breath left.

"It should be more dangerous than manic, it can still have residual breath in the past two years, if I only have a ghost fist, I'm afraid I will have to slip away, now there should be a chance to solve it, but it can't protect too many people."

If everyone could be transferred, the damage would be almost negligible, but no one would want to leave this place that has been lived by people for decades, even for generations.

I patrolled the village until the evening before returning, and in the past five years there have been three houses that have its smell, and they are all stronger than the little hunchback's son's house, which should have appeared last year or more recently, and what kind of mission, or the way of making people die, is not easy to detect.

This is just troublesome, and the other two families did not report the case, so even the city bureau did not have relevant information on file.

"It's really hard to deal with."

"Shade of the trees."

When I was thinking, Xu Jia appeared in front of me, jumped to my side, and held my arm, maybe I would be very happy before, but now, I can only smile slightly, without too much emotion.

"Auntie told us to go back to dinner."

Xu Jia and I returned home, my mother had already prepared dinner, and she looked really happy, maybe every mother hopes that her son can find a girl he likes.

"Mom, why don't you go with my grandfather after a while, I can also protect you, it's not all here."

"Silly boy, what's unsafe here, how many years have our family lived here, what's unsafe."

I know that if I can't move my family, if this matter can be solved, it is still okay, but if it can't be solved, I can only close the village directly, but even if there is resistance, I have to take my mother and grandfather away, and the others have no meaning to me.

Dinner was still very happy, but the grandfather didn't come, saying that he wanted to have a few old guys and a few cups, that's okay, the grandson is coming back, which is also a happy event that the old man can say.

In the evening, just as I was thinking about how to solve the thing in the village, Xu Jia walked into my room very shy with a quilt and said a little embarrassed. "Auntie said, the room is not enough, let me squeeze with you."

At that time, I was also relatively speechless, but there was nothing I could do, I couldn't drive Xu Jia out, she helped me a lot in the past few years. I helped her pack the mattress on the bed while she looked at my room.

My room was very boring, in fact, there was nothing at all, at most it was just mud from when I was a child, and it is still the same.

"You were so clever when you were a kid." Xu Jia picked up a clay doll, which was actually just a rabbit pinched up with mud, and I didn't care too much.

"I'll have time to make one for you if you like."

"Okay."

"The bed has been cleaned up, don't mind, my mother is like this, you sleep on the bed, I just make a bunk on the ground."

It's late at night, crickets can still be heard outside the house, and the night in the countryside is better than the neon lights in the city.

"No matter how this matter is resolved, I must take my mother and grandfather away and be by my side to protect them."

I knew that Xu Jia didn't sleep, so I chatted with her.

"Hmm."

"The area you take care of should be able to establish a community, I can shoot some of the police to protect it, you can also take your relatives over, and I still have the ability to protect a place."

"Hmm."

Xu Jia hummed lightly twice and didn't move.

I sighed.

"You really don't have to be like this, I can't give you too many things, you should know my situation best, you have helped me a lot, our dog has done very little, maybe in a few years I will also die in the process of dealing with supernatural events, you are an ordinary person now, there is really no need to be by my side, and I have gradually sensed the disappearance of my emotions."

"There will be a chance, you will live."

Xu Jia cried, this is the first time I heard her cry, even in five years, she has experienced many supernatural events, but now, she is crying.

There are a lot of things I didn't know if I should tell Xu Jia before, but today I should say it.

"You should know I have something in me. My body has been eroded, if I was okay before, but what you don't know is that what was in school that time was also in my body. ”

"If there is one, I'm afraid I'll live a long time, but not anymore."

"Then let's give up, take grandpa and auntie away, and give up what is in your body."

Xu Jia said with a crying voice.

I don't want to, but what can I do to protect you?

"Already, it's too late."

People are like that, they are strong in the most difficult times, they don't cry, but when they calm down, the small difficulties are like the last stone before the embankment breaks, and that is the moment when they release their emotions.

"Xu Jia, don't follow me anymore. Be an ordinary person. ”

"I don't."

Xu Jia got up suddenly, she should be looking at me, but it was too dark and I didn't see it, in fact, I didn't want to. I don't know what kind of emotions to use to deal with her, I will hurt her. Emotions are like this, seven emotions and six desires, how can anyone really control it?

"If one day, you haven't been powerful to me, and I am lost, you must kill me at that time, there are two in my body now, you need two supernatural items to control, I have a jade pendant, you have a wooden thorn."

"No, I don't."

It was at that time that Xu Jia hugged me, as if it was at school, and woke me up.

"Lin Yin, I like you, can't you really feel it!"

I didn't answer, so what's that? I'm dying, maybe I'm going to die suddenly at any point, and what's in my body is out of control, and it's the most dangerous thing around me.

But at that moment I felt the situation of being in love. Although I have been an alien for a long time, I still keep my sanity and do not indulge my selfish desires like other aliens.

That night was really too difficult, Xu Jia hugged me all night, crying and falling asleep, I didn't move, I was afraid of waking her up, I was afraid, afraid of girls crying, the most afraid was Xu Jia crying, she paid a lot for me, helped a lot, how could I bring her into danger.

The night passed slowly, until my mother knocked on my damper in the morning.

"Little Shade, then something happened to your grandfather."
