Chapter 102: Something Happened Again
Of course, Su Che also understood this, nodded and said: "No matter what, the deceased is the greatest, although the village chief didn't say anything about it at our house in the morning, but we still have to do the etiquette, let's go back and prepare some incense and candle paper, and send it over later." ”
Doctor Duan nodded and said that he was going to go later, and everyone would see you at the village chief's house later, but when he left, he said to me meaningfully: "Jiang Cha, you are a big girl now, you must take care of yourself in the future." ”
I didn't understand how he could think of saying this, so I nodded and smiled, "I will, don't worry." ”
Dr. Duan nodded lightly and sent us to the door.
Su Che and I left his house and walked back, and when we were on the way, I couldn't help asking, "Haven't you heard of this kind of thing happening when you came back for a while?" ”
Su Che shook his head: "I really don't know, and Wei has been in the village all the time, he should have heard about it, I don't understand why he didn't tell me." ”
I also wondered, this incident is also news to me, why wouldn't I tell me?
But after thinking about it, it's right that I didn't tell me, because I won't feel happy or anything because Wang Lin's mother died, but in addition to the accident, I will feel a little pity, after all, she is also a person, and she is still a mother, so she just left, so what should Wang Lin and the village chief do in the future?
When I passed by the ancestral hall, I found that some villagers had gathered there, and it seemed that they were all preparing to go to the village chief's house, Su Che greeted them, and then we went home together to prepare the dark paper or something.
I don't know where the things are placed at home, so Su Che is cleaning up, I sat on the head of the bed a little bored, suddenly remembered today's sky, and asked a little worriedly: "You say, will something happen today?" ”
Su Che was looking for the remaining sacrificial items from the past in the cupboard, and when he heard me ask, he raised his head to look at me and asked, "What?" ”
I pouted: "Look, you said that it was not good today, and you caught up with the village chief's wife's five-seven, I'm worried that something will happen." ”
Su Che shook his head and smiled and said No, in broad daylight, it is nothing more than burning some incense candles, paper money or something, what can happen? If you don't want to go, how about I'll send you to the ancestral shrine to find your parents later?
I nodded, saying that this is the best, after all, with my previous grudge with the village chief's family, it is easy for people to think that I am gloating when I appear at the scene of the sacrifice, right? So I'd better not show up.
When he finished packing, he went out of the house with me with a plastic bag full of them.
Walking around to the outside of the village, Su Che observed that there was no one around, and then opened a hidden passage for me to enter, and then told me that he would come back to us when he was done, and I nodded and walked into the passage.
Mom and Dad were already waiting for me, and when they saw me coming down from the passage alone, Dad paused and asked, "Why are you alone?" What about Su Che? ”
I told the story with a wry smile, and the two of them were also surprised, although one lived here, they had never been in contact with the villagers, so they didn't know anything about it.
My mother was also full of emotion, thinking that this was fate, that woman was used to being arrogant and domineering in the village, and she ended up like this, and I don't know how many people would snicker behind their backs.
Dad waved his hand and said don't mention it, when the ginger tea comes, you can cook dumplings quickly, the child must have been hungry for your craftsmanship for a long time.
Mom stopped talking and turned to go to the kitchen.
I really miss my mother's craft, after all, it's been almost a year and a half, so I'm looking forward to trying my mother's dumplings again.
The family of three was busy for a while, and the hot dumplings were finally served, I couldn't wait to take a bite of one, and my mother said lovingly on the side, slow down, don't burn it.
I only ate one bite, and the taste of my childhood came out, and I couldn't help but shed tears in a daze, and my mother was also in tears, and my father had to smile helplessly and said: "You mother and daughter, what are you crying for a good reunion." ”
But I clearly saw the tears flickering in the corners of his eyes, so I quickly wiped my eyes and said, "I'm smoked by steam, don't get me wrong." ”
The family finished eating the dumplings happily, I ate twenty of them for the first time, patted my bulging stomach and looked satisfied, and then helped my mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of us sat together and started chatting.
Su Che only came back at night, because the burning of paper at the grave could only start after the sun set, so it was not surprising that it had been so long, but the strange thing was that the look on his face was a little strange.
I don't know if my parents didn't see it, they didn't ask much, they just asked him if he had eaten, and if he hadn't eaten, there were dumplings at home.
Su Che said that he had eaten it, and he came to take me back.
I wanted to know what happened to him today and why he had such a face, so I said goodbye to my parents and followed him out of the passage of the ancestral shrine and into the courtyard.
"What's wrong with you?" As soon as I came out, I couldn't wait to ask.
Su Che looked at me and didn't speak, took my hand and came to the house where Murong Yu was before, and then said, "What you said is really right, there was really an accident when I burned Wuqi today." ”
I opened my mouth wide and hurriedly asked what was going on, but Su Che told me that the villagers gathered together to help the village chief bring all the things to be burned to his wife's grave, and after the fire was lit, everyone found something strange.
The timid villagers were immediately frightened and ran away shouting that they were haunted, and only a few of the brave ones stayed behind to look at the face curiously, and it lasted for a minute before it was blown away by the wind.
"Don't you even see what's there?" I asked Su Che curiously.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I appear as Murong Yu, maybe I can find out what is going on, but unfortunately I can't transform immediately, after all, Doctor Duan and the village chief are on the scene, so I can't see anything." ”
Dr. Duan is also there? Didn't he find anything then?
Su Che heard me ask about this, frowned and said, "Doctor Duan is quite strange today, his face is even paler than in the morning, and he didn't show a surprised look when he saw that strange face. ”
I think he must have seen something, but for some reason he didn't say it.
I asked Su Che where he had gone, and he said that he had gone to Dr. Duan to keep him safe.
Protecting Dr. Duan? The more I listened, the more confused I felt, why?
Su Che then went on to talk about what happened after they burned the paper and other things, it turned out that after everything was over, although he still didn't understand what was going on, the village chief walked away with a gloomy face, and there was no need for him to stay there anymore, so he went down the mountain with Doctor Duan.
When Dr. Duan was walking on the road, he suddenly opened his mouth and told Su Che that he would be with me tonight no matter what, and carefully protect my safety, then looked up at the sky and sighed: "What should come or will come, this is fate, right?" ”
I couldn't help but ask Su Che, didn't I chase him and ask him what was going on?
Su Che smiled bitterly: "How could he not ask, but he refused to say, I saw that his face and body were a little strange, and I thought that something might happen tonight, so I asked him to check near his house." ”
Thinking of the faint smell of blood on Dr. Duan's body last night, I felt that this matter was becoming more and more mysterious, and I couldn't help but say, "Why don't we two go over and have a look?" Have you forgotten what Dr. Tuan said when we left in the morning? Why do I suddenly feel like I'm never going to see him again? ”
Su Che was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Yes, it's really a little strange for him to say that." But after thinking about it, he said to me again: "No, the more this is the case, the more I can't let you get involved, if it is really Wang Lin's mother who has become a ghost, then she will definitely deal with you first." ”
I knew that there would be such an outcome, but I still didn't worry about Dr. Duan's safety, and if something happened to him, then I would be very sad.
Su Che comforted me a few words, promising that if Wei found out something, he would definitely notify us as soon as possible, and it would not be too late to pass it when the time came.
The two of us didn't go home tonight, and we plan to spend the night in the side room of this ancestral hall, and if there is something going on with Dr. Duan, it will be closer from here.
The room was a little cold, and I couldn't sleep thinking about what might happen at night, so the two of them sat quietly on the bed in a daze, reminiscing about everything that had happened since they came back this time, but they couldn't figure out what Dr. Duan had to do with these things.
Su Che didn't speak all the time, I didn't know what he was thinking, I secretly turned my head to look at him a few times, and found that he was sitting with his eyes closed, and I didn't know if he was thinking about his thoughts or falling asleep, so I had to turn my head helplessly and sit down.
It was midnight when I was drowsy, and when I was drowsy, I suddenly heard footsteps at the door, and hurriedly looked up, only to see the sage walking in.
I got up from the head of the bed at once, ran to his side and asked, "Are you back?" How's it going? ”
Xiao glanced at me, shook his head expressionlessly, and then said, "Doctor Duan is dead. ”
I was stunned by this sentence, although I knew that something might happen, but I didn't expect it to be so serious, and my heart felt like I had been stabbed by a knife, and tears fell.
Su Che stood up and asked, "Couldn't you stop it?" ”
Wei shook his head and said, "It's not that I failed to stop it, but the other party is not alone, and I was deceived by them." ”
"What's going on?" Su Che was stunned for a moment and asked.
It turned out that Wei had been secretly observing outside Dr. Duan's house tonight, but when it was almost midnight, he saw the ghost of Wang Lin's mother, which was a red ghost, and when he found that she was trying to sneak into Dr. Duan's house, he rushed over without saying a word.
