After walking for a while, the three couldn't help but glance at each other.

The village was so quiet that it seemed like it was uninhabited, except for the occasional barking of dogs.

In comparison, the strange village I visited last night was a little more 'vibrant'.

After walking forward for a while, I finally heard the voice of a man. Turning the corner following the sound, I saw a large group of people gathered outside a courtyard.

When I looked at it in the past, it turned out that this family had died and was doing white things, and the people in the village came to mourn.

A middle-aged man with a white cloth belt around his waist saw us, greeted us and asked:

"You're from outside?"

I said, "Yes, uncle, someone in my family has hit an evil spirit, and I heard that there is a living god in the village, and I want to ask him to help me go and see it." ”

"Smack!"

"Oh, you're talking about Norouzhong. He doesn't live in the village, his home is in Niuyangou. ”

"Uncle, it's almost there, right?" The blind man poked his head out and asked the old donkey.

"Uncle, where is the bull's eye ditch? Where are you going? I pretended to be embarrassed to ask.

"Old Village Chief......

"It's a misfortune you're here." The middle-aged man whispered and glanced back into the courtyard.

I also lowered my voice and asked, "This is someone who has passed away, who?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "It's the old village chief, who finished eating at noon yesterday and didn't wake up after squinting." ”

"Old Village Chief......

I remembered the village chief I saw last night, surnamed Cao.

"Smack!"

I said that since we are here, then let's go in and put incense on the deceased.

The middle-aged man should have helped from his own family, nodded when he heard this, and took us in.

When the inquirer saw us coming in, he shouted in a loud voice: "There is a guest coming~"

"If you ask Ye Langzhong to go to Pingshi, then leave one person here, otherwise there won't be so many people in the car when you come back."

I took the three sticks of incense and glanced into the open coffin.

Sure enough, the old man in the coffin was the old village chief we saw last night.

I couldn't help but frown.

I can't help but suspect in my heart, according to the situation last night, it should be that after the death of Ye Langzhong, the five imps in the Five Treasure Umbrella ran out without the control of their masters.

I nodded, and got into the donkey cart with the blind man.

According to the middle-aged man's statement, the old village chief is dying, why does the ghost appear in the village after death?

What's even more evil is that since he is a ghost, why can't my ghost eyes distinguish it......

The three of them bowed to the old village chief with incense, and saluted each other with the family members on the side.

It was the middle-aged man who took us out of the main house and into the courtyard, and he told us to wait, walked over to an old man next to him, and whispered a few words.

The old man turned his head to look at us and walked over with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man introduced us to the old man's name Old Donkey, and he could take us to Bull's Eye Valley. However, Niuyangou is not close to here, and if he wants to take us back and forth in a donkey cart, he has to pay some carriage and horse fare.

I took the three sticks of incense and glanced into the open coffin.

I hurriedly said that it was as it should be.

I looked at the old donkey, who was about fifty or sixty years old, with rough hair like a bird's nest, dressed like a typical country man, and with a somewhat hunched back, so that he was not very tall.

"Come with me." The old donkey waved his hand and walked out first.

Zhao Qi and I glanced at each other, and we both had some doubts in our hearts.

This old donkey is the one who sent Sang Lan and them to Niuyangou yesterday, but no matter how you look at it, he is also the most ordinary rural old man, and there is no difference in him.

Looking at the blind man again, he was expressionless, and he pouted at the back of the old donkey, and motioned for us to follow.

I followed the old donkey's house, and watched him put the cart on a donkey with black fur and four white hooves, and I couldn't help but ask the old donkey:

"Uncle, go to Bull's Eye Ditch now, can the living immortals be at home?"

"It's here." The old donkey said affirmatively: "Ye Langzhong wants to go out, he must come to the village first, he hasn't come to the village for a while, and he will stay at home for a while." ”

I asked, "He lives in such a remote area, how does he usually go out?" ”

The old donkey said expressionlessly: "The countrymen eat home-grown vegetables, home-raised chickens and ducks, so why don't they go out often." If you really want to go out, don't you still have two legs? Besides, those of you who have come from other places to ask him for peace are not allowed to come to the village first, and they are not allowed to take my car. If I go, won't he be able to come out with me? By the way, let's talk about it first, you will get five hundred back and forth, and the price will not be two. ”

I looked at the shed on the cart and nodded.

It seems that he is stained with the light in the wild lang, and he usually points to pull people in and out to make money.

It seems that he is such a donkey cart in the village, and if the person who comes back wants to go to Niuyangou, he must find him, so it is no wonder that he is so bullish.

Zhao Qi took out his wallet and counted five hundred yuan to the old donkey.

The old donkey took the money, squinted and counted it again, took it into his bosom, and said:

"If you ask Ye Langzhong to go to Pingshi, then leave one person here, otherwise there won't be so many people in the car when you come back."

It seems that what Lao Wu said before was right, Ye Langzhong died in the county seat, and no one in Niujiao Village knew about it.

After walking forward for a while, I finally heard the voice of a man. Turning the corner following the sound, I saw a large group of people gathered outside a courtyard.

The old donkey jumped into the car, turned to look at us, and said, "Let's get on the car if we have a good idea." ”

"Old Village Chief......

I glanced at Zhao Qi and motioned for him to stay here.

Zhao Qi nodded knowingly and whispered to me, "Be careful." ”

I nodded, and got into the donkey cart with the blind man.

I took the three sticks of incense and glanced into the open coffin.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already gloomy, and not long after the donkey cart left Niujiao Village, it began to rain lightly.

The old donkey asked me to hand him the raincoat in the car.

I couldn't help but frown.

His already somewhat shriveled body was covered in a large hooded raincoat, and his back looked even smaller.

I sat curled up in the car, with a cigarette in my mouth, looking at the rain outside, I couldn't help but think of Xu Jie again.

Maybe when I see her again, I'll have to make some of the things I've been running away from before.

Maybe when I see her again, I'll have to make some of the things I've been running away from before.

Provided that you can see her again......

"Wow!"

A strange scream woke me up from my fugue.

When I poked my head out of the car, I saw a few crows falling on a crooked-necked tree on the side of the road.

I couldn't help but frown.

When I left the village last night, there were no less than hundreds or thousands of crows that suddenly flew out from all directions, which can be described as overwhelming.

Why are there so many crows?

"Smack!"

The crow is a bird that has always been considered very unlucky. There are folk sayings such as 'the crow has passed on the head, there will be disaster if there is no disaster', 'the crow crows crow, disaster has come' and so on.

In fact, this kind of bird is indeed very evil, whether you check the official history or the wild history, you will find that from ancient times to the present, where crows gather, it is not a good place. There are even those evil demons who use crows to do evil methods.

"Uncle, it's almost there, right?" The blind man poked his head out and asked the old donkey.

"It's almost over, turn over the hill in front of you, and it's the bull's eye ditch."

As soon as the old donkey spoke, I carefully observed the surrounding terrain.

The surrounding scenery is vaguely familiar, as if it was here yesterday that we saw the scrapped sidecar.

I looked back and forth, but I didn't see a car parked by the stream.

I couldn't help but frown.

"Smack!"

"No, it's getting heavier and heavier, and I can't go back today." The old donkey said loudly, and whipped it at the donkey.

"So what to do? My family is still waiting for the living gods to save their lives! I feigned anxiety.

"It's getting dark, and it's raining so hard that I can't go back at night. It's useless for you to be in a hurry, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it. When you see Ye Langzhong, he has to say that! The old donkey said coldly.

The donkey cart went up the hill, and I looked ahead, and below the mountain was the Niuyan Gully that I had visited yesterday.

But it's all up the hill, why didn't you see the motorcycle?

The blind man saw my doubts and motioned for me to be at ease.

Soon, the donkey cart followed the mountain road to a deep waterhole.

"Smack!"

I was a little dumbfounded when I saw the scenery around me.

When passing by the waterhole yesterday, Ji Yayun said that this was originally the location of the courtyard gate of Yelangzhong's house.

At that time, there were no houses at all, except for weeds and wild trees.

But it's all up the hill, why didn't you see the motorcycle?

Can ...... now On the edge of the waterhole, there is really a courtyard, not only a courtyard, but also three tiled houses in the courtyard!

The gate of the courtyard was not closed, and the old donkey drove the car directly into the yard, "It's here, get off!" ”

Looking at the heavy rain outside, I couldn't find an umbrella or anything like that in the car, so I could only put my bag on my head, jumped off the donkey cart, and ran quickly under the eaves.

Despite the short distance, the blind man and I were half-wet from the pouring rain.

"Lao Yin! Lao Yin?! The old donkey shouted twice into the closed door.

Looking at his expressionless face, I subconsciously shook my head, no matter how I looked at it, this old donkey was not as problematic as the blind man had guessed before.

He obviously didn't know that Norozhong was dead.

But just as I was about to ask the blind man with my eyes, the door of the main room creaked open.

After walking forward for a while, I finally heard the voice of a man. Turning the corner following the sound, I saw a large group of people gathered outside a courtyard.

A small, somewhat bald old man stood behind the door, glanced at me and the blind man, and asked, "Come and buy?" ”

"It's raining too much, I can't walk today, so hurry up and drive the car to the back."

"Yes, it's time to buy!"

Ye Langzhong took a big sip of the wine bowl, put down the wine bowl and looked up at me and the blind man, "Now tell me about you." ”

The old man in the door nodded to me and the blind man, and said to the old donkey:

This old man is none other than him...... He's actually a wild man!

Looking at his pair of mung bean eyes, I was even more suspicious, looking at his expression, he didn't know me.

But the ghost can't drink hot rice wine, he is a living person, he is obviously a wild man, but he doesn't recognize me.

"Come in and sit." The old man in the door waved at me and the blind man, turned and walked back into the house.

I took the three sticks of incense and glanced into the open coffin.

If he is really a wild man, he shouldn't be like this.

"Oh, you're talking about Norouzhong. He doesn't live in the village, his home is in Niuyangou. ”

I looked at the old donkey, who was about fifty or sixty years old, with rough hair like a bird's nest, dressed like a typical country man, and with a somewhat hunched back, so that he was not very tall.

Nolangzhong picked up the kettle on the stove, poured two bowls of water, and motioned for me and the blind man to sit down and drink.

But Nolangzhong is obviously dead......

It's rice wine.

The idol stood tall and tall, and its head was almost up to the roof. With a face full of sideburns and a red robe, it is a statue of the ghost king and saint Zhong Kui.

He himself sat in a chair by the fire, took a copper kettle nestled by the hearth, and poured some black-brown liquid into a bowl.

From the first time I saw him, I was stunned.

The old donkey agreed, and drove the donkey cart out of the yard.

At the same time, I could see that there was a statue of a god in the center of the room.

The blind man pulled me by the hand, and I came to my senses, and went into the house full of doubts and the blind man.

"Let's go inside."

Don't...... Two of the Norous?

I've heard Ye Langzhong say before that the ghost art he learned was inherited from the ghost king Zhong Kui, but I don't know why, although the statue in front of me is majestic, I always feel that it doesn't look very comfortable, and I feel that there seems to be something wrong with this statue.

Although I don't like to drink rice wine very much, I can smell that it is warm rice wine with ginger.

"Oh, you're talking about Norouzhong. He doesn't live in the village, his home is in Niuyangou. ”
