The village chief and Xiaofeng hurried over to check on the swallows. When they saw that the swallow was only frightened, and that there was nothing wrong with the fact that the hair was burned in some places. All breathed a sigh of relief!

The village chief said to Yanzi earnestly: "Yanzi, you listen to my advice. Don't make any more fuss! This Mr. Lin is really capable! Besides, if he hadn't made a timely move just now, I'm afraid the consequences would have been unimaginable! ”

Yanzi looked at the second uncle and said to the village chief, "I don't believe in this evil today!" I'm leaving, and no one can stop me! ”

After saying that, raise your legs again and walk out.

However, she had just taken a few steps when suddenly, a piece of yellow paper fell on her face with a "snap", covering her face tightly.

The swallow angrily took the yellow paper off her face.

I saw that her whole face had turned crimson! Apparently I was hit by the piece of paper just now!

But how could such a thin piece of paper have so much strength?

Yanzi pinched the yellow paper in his hand and said angrily, "Who is doing this kind of prank?" Believe it or not......"

Speaking of which, the swallow suddenly had no follow-up.

I looked at her in surprise, only to find that she was quietly staring at the yellow paper in her hand.

And when I saw the yellow paper in her hand, I also felt familiar! I think I've seen it somewhere!

That's when I suddenly remembered something. Then, subconsciously turned his head to look at the old patriarch inside the coffin. Sure enough, he saw that the yellow paper that originally covered his face was gone! Only the hideous face of the old patriarch was left, and the eyes were dead. And that weird, horrible smile on his face!

Most of the people in the house hadn't seen the old patriarch for the last time when they came. At this moment, when they saw the appearance of the old patriarch clearly, they were so frightened that they retreated again and again!

Yanzi and Xiaofeng, the girls also screamed one by one!

In order to calm everyone's emotions, the village chief hurriedly walked out and said, "Don't be nervous! It's just the wind blowing away the yellow paper. ”

However, even he didn't believe it himself! After all, there was no breeze in the house!

At this time, an old man asked the village chief, "Village chief, what is going on with the old patriarch?" Why is death so scary? That's not a good sign! I wonder if someone is going to be unlucky with him! ”

"Yes! Why don't we hurry up and close the lid on the coffin! Lest you have too many dreams at night! ”

Soon, the old people in the house started talking to me.

They have lived on the banks of the Yellow River for most of their lives. I also have my own opinion on some strange things!

The village chief waved his hand and signaled everyone not to speak yet.

After the surroundings were quiet, the village chief said to them, "Don't panic, everyone! Isn't this Mr. Lin here? He'll take care of these things! ”

Hearing this, the rest of the people said no more. After all, the second uncle's ability is there!

But the swallow on the side wanted to speak and stopped, and it was not to leave, nor to stay.

The second uncle took the yellow paper from her hand and put it on the old patriarch's face again. Only then did he say slowly: "I warned you, but you don't believe it." Even if you do walk out of this door today, it's useless. It's just a matter of bringing something unclean back! So, I advise you to stay here. At least keep you safe! ”

After listening to the second uncle's words, Yanzi was obviously a little shaken! However, he still turned around and walked out. It seems that he wants to test whether he can get out of here today!

Just as she walked out of the door of the outhouse, a paper figure on a paper horse standing next to the door suddenly leaned towards her. The paper man slashed over her neck with one hand!

Just as the paper man's hand was about to scratch the swallow's neck, the second uncle grabbed the swallow from behind. Then he pulled hard and pulled the swallow back.

The swallow sat on the ground with a butt, looking extremely embarrassed!

Yanzi quickly got up from the ground and roared at the second uncle: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Save you!" The second uncle said coldly.

Yanzi laughed angrily: "Help me? Do you mean that the paper man can still stone me to death? ”

The second uncle didn't say anything, but came to the paper man, raised his foot and stepped on the paper man's hand. Then, with a strong twist, I moved my foot away.

Only then did everyone see that there was actually a blade stuck in the paper man's hand. If it hadn't been for the second uncle's timely action just now, I'm afraid that the swallow's neck would have been peeled open!

Seeing this, even the swallow himself felt a little afraid!

The second uncle said lukewarmly: "I only persuade people three times!" There is a good word, and it is hard to persuade damn ghosts! If you still want to go, I will definitely not stop you in any way! ”

After listening to the second uncle's words, Yanzi actually stood in place and didn't dare to move!

In the end, it was the village chief who came out to play the round, and the swallow returned to the coffin and knelt down.

After such a fuss, those people in the room are not in the mood to talk anymore! After all, they had seen such a strange scene with their own eyes just now! Anyone else can feel fear!

We were silent inside the room, except for the people outside who didn't know what was going on.

The second uncle didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak. The atmosphere in the room was a little oppressive, and it was breathless!

In the end, the old village chief came to us and asked us in a low voice, "Mr. Lin, do you want to tell everyone the real reason for the old patriarch's death?" I'm afraid that if this continues, something will happen! ”

The second uncle looked at the time and shook his head slightly. Say, "No! If they know the truth, I'm afraid, it will cause panic! Well, it's time to get ready to cook. You'd better arrange a manpower! ”

Hearing the second uncle's words, the village chief nodded. Then, I started looking for someone to prepare the flowing water mat.

In many rural areas, whether it is getting married, having children, dying, or buying a house, they like to hold a flowing water banquet. One is to entertain relatives and friends and collect a little money. Second, it's also for a little face! Most of the flowing water seats are usually selected at noon. However, Wind Chime Village is an exception! The custom here is that the water feast starts at 6 p.m. and burns the offerings at 9 p.m. The coffin was buried at three o'clock in the morning! It's very strange!

Just after arranging for people to make flowing water mats, the village chief beckoned the people in the courtyard to go home and move tables and stools. It's all in the courtyard of the old patriarch's house! If the yard can't be placed, then put it outside the gate. Anyway, the second uncle meant that he wanted them to increase their yang energy here!

Soon, it was time for the flowing water mat. As the dishes were placed on the table, everyone began to sit down.

However, I found that a table had also been prepared at the very edge of the old patriarch's courtyard. It's just that the food on this table is different from what we eat. It's a bit like five bowls of food on the altar table! Moreover, the tables and stools were all covered with white cloths, and no one went to sit on them.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask the second uncle: "Second uncle, is this also their custom here?" ”

The second uncle nodded and said, "The village chief said that they will prepare this table for the dead here's banquet. This table is not for people to sit on, it is for ghosts! They hope that after eating, when they leave with the ghost of the deceased, they will be able to make the ghost of the deceased suffer less! ”

Hearing the second uncle say this, I nodded.

Everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere became lively again. The terrible scene just now has gradually been forgotten!

But just when I thought nothing was going to happen now. Suddenly, the table used to honor the ghost was directly overturned to the ground. The chopsticks on it "crackled" and smashed to the ground.

Everyone was taken aback by this strange scene! The people at the other tables closer to the table all stood up in fright and stepped aside.

We stupidly watched the scene in front of us! This is no one, two is windless, and this situation suddenly appears, even a fool knows that something is wrong! What's more, this custom has been passed down from their village. They understand better what the reason is!

"Looks like they're not talking. Even the ghost cha has no way to do it, and it's really a bit tricky! ”

After listening to the second uncle's words, I was a little worried! In order to appease everyone, the village chief pointed out that the table was not secure, and told everyone to continue eating.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the coffin lid leaning against the north wall in the outhouse suddenly fell to the ground with a "clang". Frightened Xiaofeng, Deng Hu and the six of them all stood up!

This time, everyone is not in the mood to stay here and eat flowing water banquets anymore. One by one, they left early!

In the end, under the lure and coercion of the village chief and Qiao Fatzi, there were still more than two dozen strong men left.

Gradually, it got dark. Because there will be a power outage after nine o'clock in the wind chime village. So, we had the candles ready early. And two white lanterns were hung on the mourning shed in the courtyard, as well as some spare torches.

However, after all that has happened, the village chief is worried that something else will happen tonight. So he asked for a few more white lanterns to be prepared.

It turned out that the village chief's approach was still very prescient!

Because there's still a lot to do tonight. Therefore, the second uncle asked those people to take turns to go into the house to sleep. In the end, only six or seven people were left to sit in the mourning hall outside, and there was no one who chatted casually.

Qiao Fatzi and the village chief were idle and had nothing to do, and they all went out to chat with them.

chatting and chatting, someone pulled the topic to the three babies......
