Uncle Hong's son is called Hong Xingguo, has been living in the county, he has a shop near the tourist attractions, selling some handicrafts and souvenirs, in the past two years, with the increase in the number of tourist groups, he has also made some money, opened a shop in another scenic spot, and also did a snack business.

I walked out with Uncle Hong and saw him standing in the hall looking around, as if he was very nervous, and he was a little relieved to see us come out. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Abba, are you alright?" I heard that something happened at home, and I rushed back immediately, where's Sayuri? Uncle Hong's expression was a little guilty, and he said that Sayuri had fallen asleep, and then told Uncle Hong what had happened in the past two days.

Uncle Hong also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and then began to complain about Uncle Hong, saying that he had already let him move to the county seat to live together, why didn't he enjoy Qingfu, and he had to guard such a dilapidated house in this ravine. If Uncle Hong usually had to scold a few words, but this time it seemed to be out of guilt for Sayuri, so Uncle Hong didn't say anything.

As soon as I woke up the next morning, I heard the sound of Sayuri crying outside, and I came out to see that Uncle Hong was pulling Sayuri back to the county seat, and Sayuri obviously didn't want to leave yet. Uncle Hong sat on the chair helplessly, but he didn't mean to stay.

Watching Uncle Hong's small truck drive away, I could only silently say sorry to Uncle Hong, if it weren't for my family's business, Sayuri wouldn't have been taken back by her father before the summer vacation was over, so that your grandchildren couldn't get along for a few more days. Uncle Hong said, "I asked him to take Sayuri back, because I couldn't take care of her in the next few days...... On the eighth day of the first month, hurry up and wash your face, and then go to kneel in front of the altar, I will cast a spell on you. After saying that, Uncle Hong got up and went into the house.

It was another full hour before Uncle Hong stopped chanting the mantra and wiped the sweat from his head. I felt that I had troubled Uncle Hong too much, and I didn't know how to express it, in order to show respect, I had to put my hands together on my face, bow to Uncle Hong and say, "Thank you, Uncle Hong, you have worked hard." ”

Uncle Hong smiled instead and said, "I'm not a monk, so you don't need to give me this etiquette." Then he sat aside and said solemnly: "On the eighth day of the first month, I pondered for a while, your uncle's soul should not have completely dissipated, you said that he gave you the pair of dice in the dream, you can show it to me." ”

As soon as I heard that my uncle was not yet gone, I was a little happy, and the pair of dice was regarded by me as a thought left by my uncle, and I wrapped it in cloth and put it next to the pillow.

Uncle Hong carefully studied the dice, and then said to me, "This dice does contain your uncle's remnant soul!" When I burned your uncle's corpse before, I extracted a few souls from the corpse in advance, you wait for ......" After that, Uncle Hong hurriedly ran into the back room, and after a while, he came out with a scarecrow the size of a palm.

Uncle Hong said: "In the early years, there was a Taoist priest who stayed in our village for a while, and at the beginning we fought the law, but later became a confidant, and gradually there were some exchanges in spells. Putting the scattered soul into the scarecrow, this method is what he taught me, but I didn't expect it to come in handy this time. ”

Uncle Hong brought both the dice and the scarecrow into the hut where he had set up the altar, and then closed the door. I know Uncle Hong's rules, generally when he does it, people who don't care about him can't be present. Seeing that it is noon, I haven't had a grain of rice in my stomach since the morning, and Uncle Hong has nothing to do with casting spells behind closed doors at this time, so I can just cook.

A plate of fried Chinese cabbage with chili peppers and a fried dried bamboo shoots with bacon, Uncle Hong and I are enough to eat, but thinking that Uncle Hong has been casting spells continuously for the past few days, and his spirit is obviously not as good as usual, I want to go home and slaughter a chicken to make soup to replenish Uncle Hong's body, and it can be regarded as to thank Uncle Hong for saving his life and express my gratitude.

I ran back to my house, was catching chickens at the chicken pen, but heard there seemed to be movement in the house, so I hurriedly ran in, looked around and didn't see anything abnormal, I thought I heard it wrong, but there was a sound on the second floor, I immediately ran upstairs, I didn't expect to meet a person on the stairs, it was my grandfather!

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Grandpa! Aren't you ......" Before the words were finished, my grandfather sneered, looked at my injured shoulder, and quickly pressed it with one hand, muttering a series of words I didn't understand, I didn't have time to be happy, but I felt stunned, grandpa can also cast spells? Moreover, isn't he in the mountains?

There was a burning pain in my shoulder, and my grandfather seemed very surprised, and hurriedly withdrew his hand that was pressing on my wound, and then kicked me to the staircase with a hideous face, and he ran back to the room and seemed to be looking for something in a panic.

I hurriedly got up, and my heart was up and down. This "grandfather" exudes a completely different aura from usual, which makes me feel very oppressed. I didn't care about the pain of falling, and hurriedly ran upstairs, but before I got to the second floor, I heard the window move, and then there was a muffled sound in the backyard, I quickly rushed to my grandfather's room, opened the window to look, but found that "grandfather" was just turning over the wall.

I quickly chased to the backyard, "grandfather" was gone, I hurriedly shouted at the second floor of Uncle Hong's house next door: "Uncle Hong!" Grandpa ran away! "After shouting, I was flustered myself, what did I call my grandfather run away.

A window propped up, Uncle Hong poked the probe, I hurriedly pointed in the direction of the "grandfather" over the wall, Uncle Hong immediately looked in this direction into the distance, and then said to me: "Run away!" You come here first! ”

I hurriedly told me what happened to my "grandfather" just now, Uncle Hong immediately opened my neckline, looked at the injury on my shoulder, and then smiled, I was confused, Uncle Hong asked me to look in the mirror by myself, I hurriedly ran to the mirror downstairs to look at it.

I saw a long list of tadpole-like scriptures appear, stretching from the wound on my shoulder to my back. Uncle Hong walked down and said: "When I tattooed the spell for you, I left a mind, not only the spell that imprisons the evil poison on your body, but also the curse to ward off evil spirits, whether that person just now is your grandfather or not, he must be a mage, or the murderer of your uncle!" ”

I was a little confused for a moment, why did that person harm my family? And how does he look exactly like his grandfather, but his temperament and charm are obviously different, I looked at Uncle Hong with questioning eyes.

Uncle Hong said: "On the eighth day of the first month, maybe you don't know much about our village. In the past, this Black Stone Village was our Miao family, otherwise it wouldn't be called Black Stone Village. Later, after some things, the Han gradually moved in. I nodded and said I know all this, but what does it have to do with my family's affairs?

Uncle Hong continued: "To the south of our village is the deep mountains and old forests, and further down is the border between China and Vietnam. In the 70s, the Vietnamese repeatedly invaded us, and the country finally declared war on them. Our village is separated from Vietnam by more than 100 miles of deep mountains and forests, and it has no strategic significance, so it is not the main battlefield, but the Vietnamese are bad, they secretly sent a lot of dark wizards to disturb the people and make trouble, making us restless. ”

Uncle Hong took a sip of water and continued: "In the 80s, the outsiders of our country learned that Vietnamese dark wizards often came to harass them, so they spontaneously organized some people and horses and distributed them to the border areas. The rifle along the Sino-Vietnamese border did not subside until the first few years of your birth. The person who harmed your family this time is probably a mage from Vietnam, and I don't know why I took your house under the knife. ”

I have mixed feelings, I can't imagine that our remote mountain village has such a glorious history, and of course, it is also an unfortunate history. But why this person just took my house under the knife, and our family didn't offend him anything, I really can't understand it.

After hearing the ins and outs, I calmed down in my heart, and only said to Uncle Hong: "I must catch the murderer and avenge my uncle, but my grandfather ......"

Uncle Hong thought for a while and said, "You said that in a dream, your uncle took you to find your grandfather?" Do you still recognize the way? Tell me what happened in the dream again. "I don't talk nonsense, I carefully recalled the road that my uncle took me in the dream, and told Uncle Hong the whole dream again.

Uncle Hong stroked his beard after hearing this, and said that my grandfather may have encountered an accident, but if he wants to see people alive and corpses when he dies, he will bring my grandfather back no matter what.

After that, Uncle Hong and I both entered my house, and Uncle Hong began to wander around, and he said that he wanted to find some clues to see what the mage was about, and I began to pack up the things that I used to enter the mountain. Grandpa's room was very messy, and it looked like it had been rummaged through, and Uncle Hong found a bag of things under his grandfather's bed, which contained some hair and small bottles.

Uncle Hong opened one of the bottles, sniffed it carefully, and said to me, "Corpse oil." After that, he opened a few other bottles, all of which contained some powder and oil, and Uncle Hong said that these things were used by that person to cast spells, and they were all yin materials.

In the evening, we casually ate some leftovers, packed our bags and prepared to go into the mountains. Before leaving, Uncle Hong handed me a necklace, the pendant is a wooden plaque, engraved with a three-headed and six-armed evil god, Uncle Hong told me that this is the god of Ahsuluo, specifically to punish evil ghosts, let me wear self-defense, and then handed me a small bag, I opened it to see, it was the two dice.

Uncle Hong said that my uncle's soul is attached to the dice, and although others are dead, they are fortunate to keep their souls, otherwise they will never be reborn. Uncle Hong asked me to carry the dice close to me, maybe my uncle can come out to help me at a critical moment, and then teach me how to communicate with my uncle in the future. I quickly tied the bag to the waistband of my pants.

After locking the door, Uncle Hong took me around the house and walked out of the village from the back slope.
