Chapter Twenty-Three: Night
Grandpa did all this and put the white jade jar at the door of my house, yes, it is the door. Then my grandfather hid and watched, and what my grandfather didn't know was that my father was watching him from the window of the house.
I don't know how long I stared at it, but in the end, my dad saw the eunuch team he saw that night, and it appeared again, and this time it appeared, at the door of my house! When they came, they carried away the white jade jar! The eunuchs in that group walked away, as if they were being guided by something.
When my dad finished talking about this past, I fell silent, this process. In fact, it was the process of my grandfather putting my ghost baby uncle into the white jade jar, but the weirdness and unbelievability in it made me feel unusually cold on this stormy night.
Weird, weird, this my grandfather, detached from all my memories of that kind old man, as if he was planning something.
"Dad. Did you feel anything? I asked.
"I don't know, but what I do know is that as long as it's the body of the dead child. will be picked up by the eunuchs, the corpse of the previous worker is, and so is your dead baby uncle later, who knows about this thing? My dad said.
"What do you mean. These seven people, their corpses with big buckteeth?! "I hit a spirit at once, according to my father's speculation, wouldn't it be that these seven or eight corpses will also be carried away by the eunuch team tonight?!
"Yes, that's why I'm calling you today. Eighteen layers of Yama Hell. No entry or exit. My dad whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled me to the side, covered my mouth and nose, and said, "They're coming!" ”
My eyes widened and I saw that on this night of thunder and lightning, between the lightning and thunder, a procession of headless corpses dressed in the service of eunuchs came from the road, some of them seemed to have floating dust in their hands, exactly like the eunuchs on TV, perhaps the only difference was that they had no heads!
The necks of those eunuchs were a bowl-sized wound, and the murder was nothing more than a bowl-sized scar, and there was no blood flowing out of this scar, but it was white, and I listened to their footsteps, and the fishy smell that emanated from them, and I didn't dare to breathe myself without my father covering my mouth and nose, until they passed in front of my eyes.
They turned out to be so real. In this way, almost in front of my eyes, I entered the compound of the village committee.
My father let go of me and said, "It seems that my guess is correct, so many corpses in the dead child gang are not necessarily killed by your grandfather, as long as the people who die there will be dragged back by these eunuchs." ”
I was very curious about what was going on with these eunuchs, so I glanced into the courtyard of the village committee, and just one glance made my legs weak, and I saw those eunuchs walking in front, and behind them, the corpses that we had only carried here during the day.
They passed me again, the corpses of the big buckteeth, their heads bowed and their faces pale, they were undoubtedly corpses, but they were walking!
Waiting for them to pass by in front of us again, everything just now was like a dream, I pulled my dad and said, "This?!" ”
After I finished saying this, I saw that before us, there were two figures, who actually followed this team of eunuchs and corpses, these two figures were very easy to recognize, they were the fat man Liu Tianci and the Lin Baqian who had been stuffing his head!
"Three or two, you go back!" My dad said to me at this time, and after that, he also chased after him.
Where did I want him to follow alone, but he called out to me at this time: "If you still recognize me as a father, go back now!" ”
I stood in the rain, my father had never said such a heavy word to me, but he had even said it, and I could not follow it any longer, so I could only watch the three of them, and follow such a group of eunuchs into the darkness.
I went home, turned out my grandfather's notes again, stayed awake all night, I read the notes again, my father said that when I really understand this note one day, I will know what my grandfather is doing, but I can't understand it, just at night my grandfather in my father's mouth, and the notes are too much different.
Which one is the real Guo Gengchen?
The next day, the wind and rain stopped, my father didn't come back this night, I went to my second uncle Zao Wouji's house, Lin Baqian and the fat man were also gone, and I lost three people at once, which made me lose my soul, where did the three of them go with the eunuchs of that team?
I can't be sluggish, with Liu Fatzi and Lin Baqian, I can be fearless of Huang Lao, but at this time I don't have them, before Huang Lao wanted to cooperate with me, now I have to find him to cooperate, I found Mr. Zhai, and came to the sand pit of the reservoir together.
Mr. Zhai's diving equipment itself was on the speedboat at the water's edge, and when we got there, there were three sets missing, and it was obvious that the three people who came with us last night went into the water wearing three sets of diving equipment, and they have not come out yet.
Mr. Zhai asked me what was going on, and I told him what happened last night, and then I wanted to go into the water to see, I really couldn't accept what it would be like for me to find the bodies of the three of them underwater, even though Lin Baqian and Liu Fatzi were there, I still felt a little safe.
"Sanliang, don't be impulsive, they can't die, you don't know how powerful that Lin Baqian and Liu Fat Man are, they didn't come up all night, there is only one possibility, that is, they entered that pagoda." Mr. Zhai said.
"But I'm going to go into the water and see." I said.
"What do you do if you encounter something underwater? Not to mention anything else, just that green child can take your life, although I have calculated you, but you have saved my life, believe me, they will be fine, absolutely not, now we have to wait, it is Huang Laolai, he has studied this place all his life, and he is more familiar than any of us. Mr. Zhai said.
I didn't go into the water in the end, it's not that I don't dare, I can't, I at least have to make sure that I don't have an accident, Huang Lao will come two days later according to the plan, in the process of waiting for Huang Lao, there is such a big thing, and then it is no longer possible to conceal Chen Jiuliang, I called and told her what happened here, Chen Jiuliang said the same thing to me as Mr. Zhai, it will be fine.
But that afternoon, Chen Jiuliang still came, and she came to have one more thing, which was to send me the diving equipment we bought before, and also brought some people over, and those people came to ask me about their whereabouts, Chen Jiuliang directly glared at the person who asked them: "I asked them to do something, do I still need to report to you?" ”
I know the person who asked the question, his name is Lao Chai, he looked at Chen Jiuliang, and said with a smile: "Chen Da Beauty speaks, where do we dare?" ”
If the second uncle is here, he doesn't dare to talk to Chen Jiuliang like this, just from Lao Chai's attitude, I know that the second uncle has disappeared for too long, and his guys are a little unstable. Female Resident Ba.
Until Huang Lao came, strictly speaking, two days, at this time, Mr. Zhai and Chen Jiuliang didn't dare to tell me that it was okay to rest assured, two days under the water was enough to happen too many things.
Huang Lao came this time, a lot of low-key, the place where we gathered, is in my second uncle's house, when I arrived, Huang Lao was looking at something with Mr. Zhai on the table, I took a closer look, and found that this is a picture, on the picture, it is Guanyin sitting in the lotus pond.
Huang Lao pointed to the picture and said, "Do you know who is on this?" ”
"Guanyin Bodhisattva? But I don't think I've ever seen this version of Guanyin. "--The concern on this picture not only does not look kind, but even a bit of an old lady's immediacy, and this old lady seems quite familiar to me.
"This is the Empress Dowager Cixi, she likes to play Guanyin the most." Huang Lao said.
Huang Lao will not study this inexplicably at this time, the two things of the pagoda and Guanyin are easy to associate together. Sure enough, his next sentence was: "This tower should be built for Cixi." ”
