Chapter Forty-Seven: The Stubborn Old Patriarch

Tang Xiao turned his back to me and asked, "Your second uncle seems to be very powerful?" ”

I hurriedly agreed: "Yes! The second uncle's skills are clean and neat, and he will also know some other things! I learned all this from him! ”

Tang Xiao was silent for a while, and then asked, "Lin Shuo, what is your family doing?" I don't think I saw you do that when I was in school! Also, when I was on the ninth floor of that ghost before, those people seemed to be very afraid of you! ”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "There are some things that I can't say in a word. I'd better tell you later! ”

Tang Xiao agreed, and then stopped talking.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward!

I didn't have anything to say, "By the way, what happened just now?" It doesn't matter to you, right? ”

When he mentioned what happened just now, Tang Xiao still had palpitations in his heart! I couldn't help but say, "I was really scared to death just now!" I was supposed to be sleeping. However, when I fell asleep, I felt like someone was grabbing my hair. When I opened my eyes, I saw Xiaofeng combing my hair one by one. Although I have also written about this kind of scene in the novel. However, after experiencing it myself, I found out that it was really scary! ”

"Then weren't you scared when you wrote horror novels?"

……

In this way, the two of us chatted word by word. The embarrassing atmosphere gradually faded! In the end, I don't know what we talked about, and we slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, I lay down on the kang and slept soundly. Suddenly I felt someone shaking my body, and I couldn't help but open my eyes to look. Only then did I realize that Tang Xiao was calling me softly.

When he saw that I was awake, he said to me, "Get up quickly!" Your second uncle, they seem to have gotten up! ”

Hearing this, I nodded in a daze. Immediately, he found that there were two buttons on Tang Xiao's chest that were not buttoned, so he said in a ghostly manner: "Your clothes are not worn properly!" ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao lowered his head and glanced at it, and immediately ran out with a red face. Before going out, he didn't forget to whisper: "Stinky rascal!" ”

I'm sober! I couldn't help but pat my head in annoyance. If it weren't for the fact that I was the only seedling of the Soul Burial Lin family, I would really want to slap myself to death now!

In order to hide my embarrassment, I deliberately walked out of the house slowly. As he walked, he kept stretching his waist.

As a result, he was looked at by Qiao Fat! He smiled and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you all night, and suddenly I found that you seem to be a lot haggard!" Look at it, this leg and foot are weak, and the waist can't straighten up! Did you not sleep well last night? ”

Just when I wanted to refute him, the second uncle came over. Say, "Alright, it's time for us to go!" ”

"Go?"

I was stunned: "Where are we going?" ”

At this time, the village chief came over and said, "Go and meet the old patriarch of our Deng family!" Only with his consent can you go to the ancestral hall to see the two dogs. ”

With that, he took us out the door.

Don't look at this wind chime village, there are only about 100 households. However, the area is still quite large! Each household is not next to each other, and they all keep a certain distance from each other. There is a path left between the houses.

The village chief told us that this was to make it easier for the river to flow away as soon as it backs up. This is also the experience summed up by the villagers!

On the way, I deliberately walked to the side of the second uncle and asked him secretly: "Second uncle, did you find anything on Xiaofeng's body last night?" ”

The second uncle looked at me in surprise, then nodded and said, "Not bad!" Very observant! Looks like you've grown a lot! ”

I smirked, but didn't speak.

The second uncle continued: "That's right! I did see something wrong with her! ”

"What is it?" I hurriedly asked.

The second uncle said: "That little girl is not sleepwalking, but possessed by something. As for what it was, I took a closer look. I found that she had been holding her comb tightly all the time last night, and she had not let go of it. Moreover, that comb is antique and not a modern thing. It's more like an antique left over from ancient times! So, I suspect there's some secret hidden inside that comb! ”

Hearing this, I nodded, lost in thought. More than ten minutes later, we came to the door of the old patriarch's house.

The village chief called inside: "Uncle, are you at home?" ”

Then we heard an old, hoarse voice coming from inside the house.

"At home! Come on in! ”

The village chief hurriedly opened the door and let us in.

The old patriarch was an old man who was about eighty years old. Although old. However, the body bones are very tough!

When I saw the village chief, I asked him, "Why do you have time to come and see me?" What's the matter with me? ”

With that, he looked at us again. That's when I said "huh". He said to us, "Who are you?" ”

As they spoke, I stole a glance at the old patriarch. Although this person is old, he does not have the kind and peaceful appearance that an old man should have. With his blazing eyes, thin mouth and wide nose, coupled with his looming stubbornness, I'm sure this old patriarch is not easy to get along with!

Hearing the old patriarch's question, the village chief hurriedly replied, "They are all expeditions sent by the government!" They came to visit us! No, after hearing about the second dog in our village, I wanted to go over and take a look. Do something for our village! So, I brought them all over. ”

"Expedition?"

After listening to the village chief's introduction, the old patriarch looked at us one by one. Then, he shook his head and said, "Those with fine skin and tender meat don't have any experience at first glance." What would such an expedition be able to find? It's just a walk-around form! Besides, before you, our village had been visiting expeditions all year round. Every time I come, what I say is better than singing! It is said that it can solve our problems and lead us out of poverty and become rich. But the result? It's not that after a few peasant meals, he ran away! ”

Hearing this, I knew that this was the old patriarch's anger in his heart. So, he stood up and said, "Patriarch, don't worry! We are definitely different from them! We're here to get things done. I heard that there is a man named Ergouzi in your village who has a strange disease, and we want to go and see how he is doing first. ”

"No need!"

The old patriarch waved his hand and said, "That kid's illness is evil! And there is a high probability that it will be contagious. You'd better go back early! ”

When I heard this, I was completely speechless! Although I had already seen that this old man was not easy to talk to. However, he didn't expect that he would directly issue an eviction order!

Just when we were all a little overwhelmed, Tang Xiao walked out. He said to the old patriarch: "Grandpa, you can't say that!" No matter what you do, you can't generalize and kill people with a single shot! Those people did not do anything before, haven't they been fired by the government? Let me tell you the truth! Don't look at us so young, it's because our family is related to the top. This time it is the new official to take office with three fires! No matter what, we have to contribute something to the village. So, tell us as much as you can about the situation in the village! We can't solve it though. However, we can report it! After the situation report was uploaded, your village was improved. If the economy goes up, we can also get promoted and raised! Why not? Besides, the disease on Ergouzi may be an incurable disease for you. However, in our city, it is probably a minor problem! If it can really be cured, old patriarch, you can be regarded as saving people! You know, if you save someone's life, you will definitely be rich and prolonged! ”

This Tang Xiao is worthy of writing a book, and his mouth is "crackling" and saying a lot of truths.

The old patriarch was also thrilled when he was said! nodded again and again, and couldn't help but praise: "What this girl said makes sense!" In that case, go and have a look! This is the key to the door, remember to lock it when you come out! ”

As he spoke, he handed over a key tied to a red rope.

Our faces were overjoyed. Then, with the key, he followed the village chief in the direction of the ancestral hall.

On the way, Qiao Fat Man and I smiled at Tang Xiao and said flattering words! Tang Xiao is a proud "giggle" smile!

Soon, we came to the gate of the ancestral hall.

The village chief took out the key and opened the gate and led us inside.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I was blown away by what I saw. In front of our eyes is an extremely huge willow tree!

How big is it?

Let's put it this way! Now even if it is me, my second uncle, Qiao Fatzi, and the old village chief, the four of us are holding hands to hug the willow tree, but we can only hold half of its trunk. The entire canopy of the trees is lush and shaded by the sky! Almost all the sunlight in the entire courtyard is blocked! As soon as we entered this courtyard, we felt extraordinarily cool, which made people feel refreshed!

The second uncle walked directly to the willow tree, grabbed a willow branch and took a look. The brow furrowed instantly!

Seeing this, I was slightly surprised! Hurriedly followed, and also took a look.

After I looked at it, I realized that something was wrong with this willow tree! Normal willow wicker droops, willow leaves hem. It's like a gentle girl who is shy! However, the willow tree in front of us is also willow drooping. However, the willow leaves grow upside down! It's like a fish bone on the bottom of the head!

What's going on? It's the first time I've seen a willow tree like this in my life!

Seeing me and my second uncle standing here without talking, Fat Qiao hurriedly came over. As a result, an anomaly in the willow tree was also discovered. I couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on?" What a spectacle for the ages! ”

The second uncle said lightly: "It's not all unusual for such things to grow in this kind of village!" Or rather, there should be these weird things here! ”

Hearing the second uncle say this, Qiao Fat Man and I both showed curious eyes!
