Chapter 42: Suicide note

After special treatment, Mrs. Yu's eyes have improved amazingly.

She trembled and opened her wet eyelids, and the first thing she said was to me and Ji Yayun:

"I feel like I've seen you."

Compared to Ji Yayun, I'm not too surprised.

I told me about Lu Zhen's condition after the fall of Sanyi Garden, and then told Ji Yayun that before Mrs. Yu left Qihekou, she had fallen into a coma, perhaps when she saw the village slaughter, part of her consciousness was left in the deserted village.

Now that the Yaksha has entered the sea, the Mirage Ghost Domain no longer exists, and it makes sense that she has returned to consciousness and left an impression on us.

I was about to tell Mrs. Yu's good news of her recovery to ask her grandson, when I suddenly heard Sang Lan's shouting outside.

When he went out, he saw Sang Lan with an angry face, and Li Chuang squatted in the yard like a child who had made a mistake, his face was red, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

I asked Sang Lan what was wrong, and Sang Lan said angrily that since he came out, this person has been staring at him, and his eyes are really disgusting.

I laughed and laughed, and I can imagine that she had a reason to be angry; But what man doesn't want to look at a beautiful woman twice?

I didn't take it seriously, I just said that the old man can see now, but he has avoided Sanguang for too long, his body is weak, and he will have to go through a period of nourishment and adaptation.

Yu asked about the matter and cried with joy, Li Chuang didn't forget the etiquette, and visited the old queen mother with the godfather, and excitedly let us into the side room.

When he brought the tea, I finally couldn't help but ask, "Can you still see that monkey?" ”

Li Chuang shook his head, "I haven't been able to see it, and I've never seen it, but when I first came, it gave me a little reminder." ”

I didn't ask Li Chuang what the so-called reminder meant, I just felt that it was not easy for him to know the existence of the bald old monkey.

I looked at him carefully, and then simply told him about the experience of this trip to the mouth of the Seven Rivers.

Li Chuang didn't show too much surprise, and only when I mentioned that the fat man was possessed by the 'Yaksha' and took us to meet the Yu Wenshi couple forty years ago, he said:

"It's not a yaksha, that's, it should be my grandfather."

"Master?" I rolled my eyes, "Surname Li?" Are you from Henan? ”

Li Chuang nodded: "Actually, I should also think of the one who was attached to his companion, it's not a yaksha, right?" It's not a yaksha, it's my grandfather. We are a branch of the Li family of clay figures, I have been to the mouth of the seven rivers once, and the clay sculptures in the ancestral hall are from our Li family. ”

My face was a little gloomy: "I have always respected real craftsmen, and I have long admired the name of 'Clay Man Li'. I really don't know that the Li family can even do such a thing as hiding a corpse in a mud tire. ”

Li Chuang looked a little cramped, seemed to think about it, and then said:

"Don't get me wrong, I'll show you something, and you can roughly understand what was going on in the first place."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope and handed it over.

I was a little surprised to see him keep the envelope close to him, so I took it and opened it, and inside were two letterheads folded into 'dried tofu'.

Seeing that one of the pieces of 'dried tofu' had the words 'Yaksha Qiren' written on the surface, my heart moved, and I took the lead in unfolding this piece of letterhead.

The words on it are written with a brush, and the strokes are neat and elegant.

The content is a record of a person's general life.

I read it word for word, and I can't tell you how it feels.

Ji Yayun took the letter paper, and after reading it, he sighed:

"It's pretty much the same as I guessed before, but it's still a little bit different."

I nodded.

Sang Lan also read the content of the letter and looked indignant, "This executioner named Deng Yong doesn't want to do any sea patrol yaksha. It's just that his hometown is from the mouth of the Seven Rivers, and he is old and wants to return to his roots. He donated all his savings to the villagers, who actually ...... him It's really incompatible! ”

I frowned slightly, "Don't be so irritable, okay?" Look carefully, this Deng Yong, but he was born in the Xianfeng period, and I forgot what age those villagers we saw were? ”

Sang Lan was stunned.

Li Chuang held his teacup in both hands, took a sip, looked at me and said:

"You can take a look at the other one, it should have everything you want to know about it."

I nodded, unfolding another piece of paper.

The same handwriting, but the first two words are a little shocking - suicide note.

Although it was only a piece of letterhead, it was written in block letters the size of an ordinary pen.

I looked very slowly and carefully, and when I saw a third of it, my pupils suddenly shrank.

Ji Yayun and Sang Lan watched it with me, and at this time, Sang Lan couldn't help but say:

"This Ling Dashan man, is he a member of the Ling family? Is Zheng Yuerou's biological father? ”

I didn't answer her, but didn't say slowly until I finished reading the contents:

"It is indeed a member of the Ling family, but according to time, the ancestral hall should not have been built by Zheng Yuerou's father, his father should have only built a house on the other side to take care of the 'Dragon King Temple'."

I think so because of the date at the end of the suicide note, and the part of it about the 'Dragon King Temple'.

According to Zheng Yuerou's current age, his father was in his thirties when the Dragon King Temple was built, and the villagers may have been a little conservative at that time, but it is unlikely that a young man would be named a 'great benevolent'.

Seeing that Ji Yayun and Sang Lan's eyebrows were full of entanglement and doubts, I thought about it and tried to analyze it:

Deng Yong was the executioner in the Xianfeng period, there is no doubt about it.

Although he was not born in Qihekou, after retiring, he still adhered to the idea of returning to his roots and returned to his ancestral hometown. Donate his life savings in order to benefit the township and be accepted by the villagers.

He wanted to spend the rest of his life in his hometown, but he should also know the legend of the yaksha in the industry.

Therefore, before he died, he built a sarcophagus for himself, so that after his death, his body would be buried in the coffin and sunk under the estuary.

I raised my eyes to look at Li Chuang, who looked at the letterhead in my hand and said:

"Li Jikang is my grandfather, he lived in Qihekou at the beginning, and when he saw the 'Ling Da good man', he said to my father, 'This person is not a good person'!"

I asked, "Old people know how to face each other?" ”

Li Chuang said: "Our Li family only focuses on craftsmanship, but when it comes to it, when a craftsman is poor for several generations, he does one trade, and that is for other ...... There are also some tactile bypasses. That's not the same thing as real physiognomy. ”

I nodded, understanding what he meant.

The Li family is famous for its clay figures, and if you want to shape it, you must first look at its bones, and it is natural that your eyesight is extraordinary.

"I haven't been able to figure it out, the Dragon King Temple has not yet started to be built, why did the grandfather react so much, not long after the Ling Dashan people went to the village, they asked my grandfather to take the family to leave Qihekou and return to his hometown in Henan."

Li Chuang furrowed his brows and said to me: "I have read the suicide note, but I don't know, when my grandfather handed this over to my grandfather, he told him that he had to open it on a certain day in a certain year."

When my father saw the contents of the suicide note, he rushed to Qihekou day and night, and at that time Qihekou had already moved to the village, that is, at that time, my father happened to see my godfather at the entrance of the village, and the unconscious dry milk. ”

Seeing that his expression was becoming more and more entangled, as if he had too many unsolvable doubts, I thought about it and asked:

"It is also said that the master does not understand face-to-face, so it is even more impossible to understand arithmetic, why did he pinch the time so accurately?"

Li Chuang shook his head, "The letter was left by my grandfather, and I listened to what my grandfather said about the original things, and I don't know the specific things in it." I just heard my grandfather say that after Ling Dashan arrived at Qihekou, his grandfather once went to a place and found a person surnamed Yang, and after he came back, he let his family move away. Later, I tried to look for that place, but I couldn't find it. ”

Somehow, my brain popped up, "What's that place?" ”

Li Chuang said: "That place is called Laotou Mountain, but I can't find it on the map, I asked a lot of people, but I didn't know that there was such a mountain." ”

I was speechless for a while, and only after a while did I take a deep breath: "I think, I know who the master is looking for." ”

Old Head Mountain, just the name of the locals. The official title is Lion Tiger Mountain.

Not to mention that to this day, the only people in the Outer Eight Elements remain, that is, they have gone back for decades, and the probability of two strange people living in the same place is not large.

Li Chuang's grandfather doesn't know arithmetic, but he is in control of the movements of Qihekou and the 'Ling Dashan people'.

That's probably because he had been looking for advice from a master.

The person he went to find was surnamed Yang, so coincidentally, the two hundred and five phase masters of the leprosy family were also surnamed Yang......

After Li Chuang heard me talk about the Yang family in Shihu Mountain, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly showed a very strange expression.

He seemed to glance at Sang Lan intentionally or unintentionally, and then said to me a little sneakily:

"Brought?"

"What?" I'm confused.

Li Chuang went to see Sang Lan again, and was glared back by Sang Lan, his face turned red, and he lowered his voice again, and said to me:

"Now I know that it is not the Yaksha who possesses my companion, but my grandfather. Did he give anything? ”

I just wanted to shake my head, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Li Chuang:

"I'm not sure if it's Taiye, he took us to a house near the ancestral hall, where we met the godmaster and the godmother......"

Li Chuang patted his thigh: "That's right, my grandfather said that at that time, the godfather and the godmother eloped from the northeast to the mouth of the seven rivers, and lived in my grandfather's original house!" It was their first common home, and we saw that our hall here was made according to the furnishings of that house! ”

He asked me anxiously, "Has my grandfather ever given anything?" ”

I said yes, he pinched my head and didn't have eyes, but that thing is now in the possession of my friend, and I'm afraid that if I say it to my face, he won't show it to me.

Li Chuang waved his hand again and again and said:

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's best to see the master's handwriting again, and it's okay if you can't see it."

He jumped up suddenly, and walked in front of Sang Lan in a daze, his face flushed slightly, but his tone was excited:

"Don't blame me for being reckless, I just looked, I can see that I'm sick. Supposedly, they cured my milk, and I should have helped. But my grandfather has explained, the descendants of his branch, 'no remnants of ghosts and no sticky mud'! Now I know that he left a clay sculpture of a remnant ghost in his old man's house, and I can help! ”
