Chapter 11: Nonsense
I plucked up the courage to take a closer look, and found that the skin was the size of my grandfather's back.
I remember very clearly when my grandfather hanged himself from a tree with a crooked neck.
Grandpa's back.
The missing piece of skin, that missing piece, I will probably never forget for the rest of my life.
And I saw that there was an old scar on this piece of skin, so I broke it even more off from my grandfather's skin.
But now I can't figure it out, how could my grandfather's skin be buried in the ground? And it's been so long, why is it still bloody?
I took a closer look.
I found that there were no traces of new demolition on the ground, what state does grandpa belong to now?
Whether grandpa is in the grave, or like Meng Xiyao, the whereabouts of the body are unknown, which makes me very worried.
Because I don't know it myself.
But I knew that this piece of skin should be very important, so I could only carefully wrap it in a cloth and carry it in my arms.
After all this, I finally collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
I held the seven-star sword in my arms.
Because I want to get a good night's sleep, I'm worried that when I sleep, I will encounter other things that will harass me, so whether it's true or not, I'm going to hold this sword in my arms for self-defense.
It took me a few hours before I fell asleep.
The next day, the master from the Black Wind Ridge came.
The Taoist priest of Goulu did not come over in person, but sent another Taoist priest, who is also said to be a master, and this Taoist priest also knew my grandfather.
When he heard that something had happened to his grandfather, he volunteered to come.
The master's name is Nie Sihai, with a big head and a thick neck, and a short body, looking like a big radish that has become a fine man.
As soon as Nie Sihai came, he suddenly cried, saying that he was actually his grandfather's junior brother, and his senior brother died mysteriously, and he must find out for him.
Nie Sihai asked me if there was anything strange happening last night, I originally wanted to tell my grandfather about coming back, but as soon as Nie Sihai met the enthusiasm, I always felt a little awkward, so I didn't say it, shook my head and told me about my grandfather's death and the loss of Meng Xiyao's body!
Nie Sihai saw me talking in a hurry, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
He said, "Young man, you don't have anything to hide from me, do you?" ”
My heart suddenly shuddered.
I always feel that this Nie Sihai doesn't look like a good person, maybe because his appearance is too weird, so the first feeling in my heart is always bad.
I asked him rhetorically.
"What do you think I'm hiding from you?"
"I'm here to persuade you, if you know something, it's better to say it, and I'm sure you know very well that it doesn't seem to be an accident that two people died suddenly in your village."
Is he threatening me?
I took a deep breath: "If it's not accidental, can you help me find the relationship in the middle?" ”
I didn't know he had the real thing.
It's still a guy who talks about it, although I know that some secrets may not be made public, but if he, as a Taoist priest, doesn't have the ability to discover this secret.
There's no need to waste time with such people, so I still have some hidden things in my heart.
Nie Sihai sneered.
Didn't rush to find an answer to my question.
He asked me to take him around in front of my grandfather's grave.
When we came to the crooked neck tree and saw that grass was already growing on my grandfather's grave, I felt a little relieved.
If grass grows from the grave, it means that the grave has not been dug up.
Grandpa's body may still be inside.
Just when I was thinking to myself in my heart, Nie Sihai suddenly cried out excitedly.
"Young man, is Grandpa really buried under this crooked-necked tree?"
I was a little surprised.
Does he think I'm going to deceive him?
I stood behind him and said to him, "Of course yes, I buried him with my own hands, and there are villagers who testify for me, do you have any other doubts?" ”
I asked rhetorically.
Nie Sihai slowly turned his head and stared into my eyes, as if to see if I was lying.
The two of us looked at each other, and after about ten minutes, a sneer appeared on the corner of Nie Sihai's mouth: "Then is it convenient for you to tell me?" Did Grandpa personally choose this piece of land for himself? ”
I nodded without hesitation.
He said to him: "Before my grandfather died, he suddenly told me that he would be buried under this crooked neck tree in a hundred years, but I didn't expect him to hang himself here the next day." ”
"But this land is a place of lore, once buried here, it will be 100% extinct, your grandfather is a master in the feng shui world, I don't believe he would curse himself like this."
Listened to Nie Sihai's words.
I feel bad all about myself.
If what this person said is right, what the hell is Grandpa going to do?
I don't believe that grandpa would choose such a very vicious place for himself, if this land can really be buried, then grandpa is cursing me?
Seeing the look on my face was cloudy.
Nie Sihai continued to say inch by inch: "You can imagine that grandpa was very strange when he died, how could such an outstanding feng shui master be killed by an unknown thing in an unknown way, is his ability really so weak?" ”
"So what are you trying to express?"
Nie Sihai's question has actually been hidden in my heart for a long time.
I don't believe that grandpa died so simply, because grandpa is a well-known feng shui master, how could he die inexplicably because he helped someone else hold a funeral.
So what he said coincided with my thoughts.
Nie Sihai said: "With all due respect, I feel that grandpa is faking his death." ”
"Why did he fake his death?"
When I heard this, I suddenly became a little excited, if grandpa really faked his death, it means that I can still see grandpa, this is really great news for me!
Nie Sihai thought about it.
Raised his head and sighed: "In his early years, Grandpa had been to many places and done many famous rituals, he had helped many people through his ability, and of course he had offended many people, according to my speculation, if he really faked his death, he may have used this way to escape the pursuit of the enemy." ”
I opened my mouth.
I don't know how to answer.
It's just a rural feng shui master, how does it sound like acting in a TV series, and what kind of enemy is chasing and killing?
I've never heard of my grandfather offending anyone.
And according to his grandfather's character, he doesn't look like the kind of person who offends others, in order to escape the pursuit of the enemy, he pretends to be dead, does this really sound a bit too?
He looked at my expression.
It feels like I don't believe what he's saying.
So he tentatively asked, "Why don't we dig up Grandpa's grave now and see if his body is still inside, to verify whether what I said is true?" ”
"No."
When Nie Sihai said this, I suddenly woke up.
Because I remembered that grass had grown on my grandfather's grave, which meant that my grandfather's grave had not been touched, that is, my grandfather's body was still inside.
I can't dig up my grandfather's grave because of a person's words that sound illogical.
Although he said that this is a desperate place, just based on his one-sided words, it does not mean that grandpa is not good to me, and his words do not have much theoretical support, and they sound more like nonsense.
So I didn't hesitate to say to him: "Even if Grandpa really faked his death, it is impossible for me to dig up this grave, please don't use the agitation method against me." ”
"Good boy, do you really want to be obsessed?"
See the way I have a tendon.
Nie Sihai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but I still said to him: "Don't hit the idea of grandpa's grave, we invited you over to let you think of a way for us, not to let you come over to dig the grave." ”
"You're going to regret it sooner or later, just wait and see."
Nie Sihai threatened in his mouth.
He walked towards the paper shop in a huff.
Because Meng Xiyao's death is related to the lanterns in the paper shop, he has to start from scratch.
