I didn't expect Uncle Chen to say such a sentence, and I looked at him with wide eyes.

Uncle Chen smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more. He had the bamboo basket containing the fish bones placed in front of the statue of the river god, and then the iron basin was placed squarely on the offering table.

He picked up the sandalwood next to him, offered incense to the river god, and then knelt in front of the river god statue, praying silently in his mouth.

Although there were many people present, the scene was unusually quiet, and there was a deep uneasiness in this dead silence.

Uncle Chen prayed for a while before standing up. Liu Dehai hurriedly came over and asked, "Brother Chen, is it okay?" ”

Uncle Chen shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy? We'll see the results tomorrow morning. If the black carp is still alive and the bones turn to their normal color, there is hope for this matter. ”

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes fell on the iron basin. The black carp was floating motionless on the water, not as lively as it had been when it first arrived.

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and its life and death were already linked to their lives.

"Let's go." Uncle Chen waved his hand at everyone, and everyone came out of the River Temple.

When he walked back, Uncle Chen said to Liu Dehai, "After you go back, you will handle the funeral for Yuanshuang." In order to avoid any extraneous complications, let's bury him tomorrow morning. ”

Liu Dehai agreed. They had already prepared the coffin, but they needed to leave some people for the vigil.

After things were arranged, the others went home to rest. I followed Uncle Chen back to his residence.

Although the small temple was dilapidated, Uncle Chen's residence was very clean.

Chen Bo moved an offering table, lifted the stone slab underneath, and took out a package from inside.

Chen Bo said, "I don't take other people's lives and deaths very seriously. But I can't leave your business alone. This is a piece of ancient jade, and if you wear it on your body, it may be able to suppress the evil qi in your body. ”

Chen Bo took out a palm-sized round jade pendant. The jade pendant is light red, polished to oily and shiny, and it looks like something that is very old.

I've heard for a long time that Gu Yu is capable of suppressing evil energy. For my sake, Uncle Chen took out all the treasures at the bottom of the box.

Thinking of Liu Yuanshuang's death and the carp that crawled out of his stomach, I quickly took the jade pendant and put it around my neck.

Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he cleaned up a place next to the bed, and asked me to spread the futon there. And said to me, "You're going to live here all this time." Let's go home when this settles. ”

I asked, "Uncle Chen, when will this matter pass?" ”

Uncle Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say. Maybe tomorrow will be fine, or maybe it will never be resolved. ”

It's already two or three o'clock in the morning, and none of us are talking anymore. I was about to fall asleep in a daze when I heard footsteps coming in from outside.

At the same time, someone gently knocked on the temple door and shouted, "Brother Chen, something happened, you can help take a look." ”

In fact, Uncle Chen never fell asleep, and when he heard the shouting, he hurriedly got out of bed. I sat up too.

Uncle Chen put on his shoes, pushed the door open, and saw Liu Dehai leading seven or eight people standing at the door. His face was very ugly.

Uncle Chen asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Dehai sighed slightly and said, "You can go with me to have a look." ”

I followed Uncle Chen out of the door, and everyone walked towards Liu Dehai's house together.

There is a mourning shed in the courtyard of Liu's house, because Liu Yuanshuang died horizontally, and the yard is full of lights, shining as bright as day.

The mourning tent was set up on the left side of the courtyard, and several young people were guarding inside.

The door of the spiritual shed was open, and Liu Dehai pointed to a door and said, "Brother Chen, look. ”

Only then did I realize that there were five red handprints printed on the door, and the handprints were long, like a woman's handprints.

Chen Bo dipped his fingers in the liquid on the handprint, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said in a low voice, "Someone got blood on his hand, and then he printed it." ”

Liu Dehai said angrily, "Although our Liu family has offended many people, who dares to take advantage of our Liu family's accident to make trouble?" Let me know who did it, and I'm not going to let him go! ”

Everyone present knew what those five bloody handprints represented. Liu Dehai has a total of five sons, and now one has died, and the other party's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants his five sons to die!

Uncle Chen's expression was also complicated. There are not many people in the village who have eaten fish and meat, but why is the other party only eyeing Liu Dehai's five sons?

It seems that this matter is not just as simple as the revenge of the red carp.

Uncle Chen asked people to wipe off the bloody handprints, and then walked towards the coffin. He asked the young men in charge of the vigil, "Have there been any people in the shed?" ”

Liu Yuanshuang's eldest brother Liu Yuanhua was in the mourning shed, and the people who kept vigil with him were all immediate family members of the Liu family.

Liu Yuanhua said, "There are always people in the shed, and the lights around are brilliant. But no one saw when those handprints were printed. Hell yes! ”

Hearing him mention the word "hell", the other people's faces turned pale.

Liu Dehai said, "Yuanhua, don't talk nonsense, someone must be making trouble." Liu Yuanhua stopped talking.

Uncle Chen had already walked to the coffin. He stared at the coffin for a moment, then reached out and touched the bottom of it.

The coffin was erected by two benches, the bottom of which was more than a meter above the ground.

After touching the bottom of the coffin, Chen Bo looked at his fingers, and there was a layer of blood on his hands. The blood did not clot and did not seem to have been out for long.

There was no blood on the walls of the coffin, and the blood flowed down the cracks in the coffin.

Chen Bo stared at the coffin intently. After Liu Yuanshuang died, his body was wiped by his family, and it was impossible to bleed at all.

No one knows where the blood came from.

Liu Dehai's eyes widened in surprise and asked Uncle Chen, "Brother Chen, why don't we open the coffin and take a look?" ”

Chen Bo pondered for a while, because Liu Yuanshuang died horizontally, and the coffin had been sealed. If you open it again, it will be a very unlucky thing. In fact, Liu Dehai didn't want him to open the coffin.

Chen Bo said, "Since the coffin has been sealed, don't open it again." By the way, you call all your sons and let them all live in your house. Wait until things settle down, and then let them go back. ”

Although Liu Dehai is a figure who has seen the world, what happened in the past two days is really too weird, and he is a little messed up.

After Uncle Chen's reminder, he remembered. He hurried someone to inform them.

After a while, the man who went to find someone returned.

Liu Yuanhui followed behind them in a daze. He had been busy all day, and as soon as he collapsed on the bed and had not fallen asleep, he was called out.

But the person who went to Liu Yuancai said, "Liu Yuancai is not at home at all." His daughter-in-law said he never went back. ”

Hearing his words, Liu Dehai immediately became bloodless.

He personally called Liu Yuancai, and Liu Yuancai's phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

Liu Dehai's head immediately sweated. instructed the people around him, "Even if you turn the village upside down, you must find Yuancai!" ”

Liu Yuanhua's lips trembled and asked, "Dad, will he also be by the river?" ”

Liu Dehai's face became even more ugly. Needless to say, everyone knows what it means if they find him by the river.

He said to Liu Yuanhua, "Let's go to the river and have a look." Then he turned his head and told Uncle Chen, "Brother Chen, please stay here in the spirit shed." My right eye was constantly jumping, and I was worried that something bad would happen. ”

Uncle Chen's expression was also very serious, and he said, "You can go with confidence, I will take care of the affairs of the family." ”

Liu Dehai then ran to the river with his three sons and five or six nephews.
