Chapter Ninety-Seven: Give Up
I know that my words are very serious, and I also know that I will embarrass Uncle Xu by saying this, but now that this work is going to continue, everyone in the room has an inseparable connection with this matter.
If I don't make it clear what needs to be said, I am not responsible for their lives.
I hope that after they know what they are about to face, they can think again, is this going to continue?
Of course, I don't want anyone to give up.
But what I don't want is for someone to back down when the next problem comes.
Sure enough, after I said this, Uncle Xu's face suddenly became ugly, "Boss of the Guan family, what do you mean by this?" What does it mean to be unblessed? I admit that the second child did a lot of wrong things, but he is dead after all. People die and debts are gone, and it is still appropriate to settle in the ground, right? If you can't take it, don't say more, even if I fight for this old life, I will go to Xishangouzi to ask the old coffin master to come back! ”
Uncle Xu's words are already very polite, I can understand him, but I don't agree with his approach.
From the first time I carried the coffin to the present, he was not the first person to question my ability, nor was he the first person to say that he was going to ask my grandfather to come back.
After all, I am young, after all, my grandfather is more experienced, and it makes sense that they believe in him and not me. I wouldn't be angry about this kind of thing, and if Grandpa could come back, it would not be them who would be happiest but me. I just don't think they should always put their hopes in the impossible, hoping for a miracle to happen, but not using their brains for the problems in front of them.
In the face of Uncle Xu's questioning, I did not try my best to argue and try to persuade the other party as before, but chose to nod silently. I said to Uncle Xu: "Uncle Xu, since you think so, then I won't say anything more. My abilities are really limited, and to tell you the truth, I only guessed the possibility, but I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet. Yifeng, let's go. ”
It is not difficult to see that Jiang Yifeng didn't figure out what I meant, but he still stood up with me.
As I walked out of the room, I heard the sound of stools rubbing against the floor in the room, and immediately after, the voices of several Eight Immortals came.
"Since the little coffin is gone, then we won't stay."
"Yes, of course, it's good that the old coffin can come back, it's best to invite the old eight immortals back. We, the Eight Immortals who catch ducks on the shelves, really have no bottom in our hearts when we start doing things. ”
"Let's go, let's go, go home."
Their words may not be a support for me, I believe that they wanted to back down in the first place, but they just didn't find the right excuse.
Now that Uncle Xu has threatened to invite his grandfather back, I have also taken the initiative to retreat and give way, which seems to have explained the particularity of this coffin and the uncertainty in my heart. With such a big risk, they immediately backed down, which was something I had already anticipated.
On the way back, Jiang Yifeng and I were silent.
It wasn't until he was almost at the door of the house that he suddenly turned around and asked me thoughtlessly, "I said Jiujiao, you just left like this?" You're not supporting me, are you? ”
"What do you think?" I gave him a blank look and sighed, "I really didn't think of a good way. ”
"How so?" Jiang Yifeng obviously didn't believe it.
"How not?" I shook my head, not wanting to explain more.
Now even people who don't know anything know know that the root of the problem lies in the fact that my father took those dozen people to dig up ancient tombs. Angered the owner of the tomb, causing at least two people to suffer so far.
If the remains or clothing of the tomb owner can be recovered, properly buried, and his grievances appeased, then there is still a way to understand all this. But now, I don't have a good idea.
Grandma and Min Min didn't know what happened today, and they didn't know that the two of us would come back so early. Fortunately, we had already eaten outside, and when we got home, we washed up hastily and went to bed.
In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the sound of Soso.
"Jiujiao, have you slept?" Jiang Yifeng's voice came from my ears.
Since my home is relatively small, I can only sleep in one room with my grandmother and Minmin, and Jiang Yifeng and I are crammed into one room. But I never knew that Jiang Yifeng actually had a problem with talking in his sleep?
I slept soundly and only heard his voice and didn't answer.
Who knows, Jiang Yifeng paused for a while, and then said to himself, "Jiujiao, I know you didn't sleep." I have some ideas for today's events. I know what you haven't figured out, isn't it that the bones of the owner of the tomb have been pulled away by your father, and there is nothing left to accompany the burial? I don't think that's a problem for you. ”
I listened silently, still not speaking.
Jiang Yifeng suddenly sighed and said, "Do you remember what happened in Shanhou Village last time?" If it weren't for the accident, Old Man Niu would be fine by now. Since you have a way of conjuring spirits, why don't you give it a try? The difficulty in this matter lies in the fact that the owner of the tomb cannot be found, so he cannot appease his resentment and anger. But what if you find it? Wouldn't it be equally effective if you summoned his soul? ”
"I ...... May I? ”
To be honest, since the last time I had two conjuring spirits in Shanhou Village, I have a shadow of the word conjuring.
This time the tomb owner is by no means a character to be messed with.
Regardless of the year he died, all I know for sure is that he has been dead for many years. The corpses were all rotting, the bones were brittle and broken into small pieces, and he was not hooked away from his soul, but was stronger.
This time the revenge was completely led by him, which shows how much he resented the gravediggers. This kind of ghost, once it is invited, but there is no way to appease it, it will cause very serious consequences.
I'm also a normal person, and it's impossible for me to be without fear.
What's more, I've only recruited souls twice so far, once failing and once encountering great danger.
How can I be confident in my craft? It is no exaggeration to say that I would rather things go on like this, and that the damned people would be killed one by one by the owner of the tomb than that anything worse would come from my rash actions.
I didn't say these words, but Jiang Yifeng seemed to hear them. He sneered and said to me, "You can do it, why can't you?" Why can't you trust yourself again? Jiujiao, you must know that this is not an extraneous branch. ”
