Gu Xiaoxiao and I haven't been able to get together for a long time, and the last time we talked on the phone, it was during the midterm exam, and we only said a few words, and I didn't feel anything wrong at that time.

And if something happens to Gu Xiaoxiao, Grandpa Gu should tell me as soon as possible, right?

Could it be that Grandpa Gu also had an accident together?

I hurriedly called Grandpa Gu, and the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

My heart collapsed all of a sudden, not in ordinary panic.

I have known Gu Xiaoxiao since I wore open crotch pants, at that time Grandpa Gu and my master had business dealings, every time I came to the store, I took Gu Xiaoxiao with me, so many years of friendship, we are closer than sisters.

This is also why, when I encounter small things, I immediately think of asking Grandpa Gu and Gu Xiaoxiao to help, but when I encounter big things, I would rather not reveal a few words to them.

They can help me with small things, big things, I don't want to involve them together and hurt them.

But now it seems that I still have to deal with them after all.

Grandpa Gu and Gu Xiaoxiao had an accident, and the other party did it quietly, but he stuffed this blood-stained doll through the crack in the door, just to tell me that the people you value are in our hands, be honest.

I crouched there, not knowing what to do, because the other party had not left any useful information at all, and I could not be sure for a moment who had done it.

The first reaction was Lu Lao Wu, after all, Xu Yan's death was a huge blow to him, a person like him would definitely not suffer such a dumb loss, and it was impossible not to retaliate against me.

I have Mo Xian guarding at night, and he doesn't dare to attack me, so he will turn to hurt the people around me, and Gu Xiaoxiao will bear the brunt.

But apart from Lu Lao Wu, could it be someone else? I can't say for sure, after all, there are too many people who want to move me now, and Gu Xiaoxiao is the best starting point.

I pulled my hair irritably, looking at the little doll soaked in blood on the ground, and my heart ached.

With my own temper, I will definitely call Lu Lao Wu to question it as soon as possible, but this morning when Mo Xian was leaving, he repeatedly told me, don't run around and toss, I can't do anything willfully now, once I get into trouble, it will be difficult to end.

But I can't just wait, glancing at the sky outside, Mo Xianye said that he would rush back as soon as possible, he ...... You should be back soon, right?

I took out my mobile phone to call Yunlu, she didn't answer, under normal circumstances, Yunlu and Yunshuang were together at this time, and they knew Moxian's whereabouts at night, and if they couldn't contact one, they couldn't be contacted.

I held my breath, tears in my eyes, hating myself why I didn't contact Gu Xiaoxiao first today before going to Lu's house, if I called her early in the morning and made an appointment to come out for a meal or something, she wouldn't have an accident.

At this time, my mobile phone rang, and when I turned it over, it turned out to be Grandpa Gu's call, and I immediately became nervous, could it be that the other party used Grandpa Gu's mobile phone to contact me?

But when it was connected, when Grandpa Gu's voice came, I almost cried, and Grandpa Gu asked, "White girl, are you looking for me?" I'm doing business in Daliu Village in the western suburbs now, and I'm a little busy, so I didn't hear the phone ring just now. ”

"Grandpa Gu, where's Xiaoxiao?" I hurriedly asked.

"Xiaoxiao is busy holding the lamp, we are going to keep vigil here tonight." Grandpa Gu said, called Xiaoxiao, and then said, "You have something to find Xiaoxiao, right?" I asked her to come over and say a few words to you. ”

At that time, I really didn't know what the mood was, the ups and downs, I felt like I was going crazy.

Soon, Gu Xiaoxiao's voice sounded: "Ah Li, you have something to do with me, I'm very busy at this time, I don't have time to talk to you more, go back to make an appointment." ”

"Xiaoxiao." I cried out, crying, "Are you alright?" ”

"Ahri, what's wrong with you? I should have asked you if you were okay, right? Okay, why do you feel like you're going to cry? Who bullied you? Gu Xiaoxiao said with concern.

"No, no one bullied me." I glanced at the bloody doll on the ground and asked her, "Xiaoxiao, when we went to the temple fair together during the Chinese New Year, we bought a pair of little dolls, where did you put them?" ”

"On my bag, I'm still carrying it today." Gu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" ”

"You go and take a look, are you still there?" I asked.

Gu Xiaoxiao muttered, saying that I was chattering, and the next second suddenly burst into a foul mouth: ", where is my doll?" ”

"Xiaoxiao, listen to me, you are being targeted, if you can, you should come back quickly to avoid danger."

Although I am sure that Gu Xiaoxiao and they are okay now, no one will be idle to scare me with a bloody doll, in my opinion, this is a warning, just in case, I still have to let Gu Xiaoxiao and them be vigilant.

Gu Xiaoxiao knew that I wasn't joking, so she was silent for a while, and wondered: "No, Ah Li, you can't give up this matter halfway, the Dharma is only half done, if we are not here tonight, what if we cheat the corpse?" For a while, there is no one to replace us. ”

I thought for a while and said, "Then where exactly are you in the western suburbs, I will go over to accompany you to keep vigil tonight, and I will talk about it after tonight." ”

"Ah Li, are you really coming? It's getting dark, it looks like it's going to rain outside, this side is a little far from the ancient street, and I'm more worried about your safety on the road. Gu Xiaoxiao said.

"It's okay, I'll probably be a little late, and if I'm lucky, I'll ...... I'll probably go with Master Mo. "When I said this, my heart was a little empty, because I wasn't sure when Mo Xianye would come back or whether he would come back, but I thought that the current relationship between me and Mo Xianye should be known to Gu Xiaoxiao.

I used to hide it, but now that Gu Xiaoxiao has been involved, I have also strengthened my position, and I still have to bring Mo Xianye to her.

As soon as Gu Xiaoxiao heard the words 'Master Mo', she flew up happily: "Really? Is Master Mo really coming? ”

"I'm not sure yet, I'll try to contact him." I was embarrassed.

Gu Xiaoxiao said that she had to let me do my best to make an appointment with Mo Xianye, and then she told me the detailed address, and I told her to be careful after we didn't rush over.

After hanging up the phone, I sat down on the stool, feeling that all the strength in my body was instantly drained, and it took me a long time to recover.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxiao and they are fine for the time being.

I reached out and rubbed my temples to calm my emotions down until I finally relented before I got up to deal with the bloody doll and envelope.

I also wiped it carefully on the ground, and dragged it so that I couldn't see any blood, so I was relieved.

……

Mo Xian came back at about six o'clock in the night, which was early for him, and as soon as he entered the door, I rushed over and hugged him tightly.

He stiffened visibly, then hugged me back and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Where have you been today? I called Yunlu and she didn't answer, is something wrong? I asked.

Mo Xianye shook his head: "It's not a big deal, it's just another trip to leave the city." ”

"What are you doing in the city? After so many days, what else can there be? "I was nervous all of a sudden.

"Don't be so nervous, just do it." Mo Xianye said, "After we came back to Jiangcheng, some of the people stayed in the city, explored under the studio, found out the lair of Xu Yan's cultivation, sealed the lair, I must take action, I must go this time, besides, Mo Kun and they are back, I have to arrange it." ”

My eyes suddenly lit up: "Mo Kun, are they all back?" Is Zhu Jin also back? ”

"Some of them came back first, Zhu Jin is also together, Ah Zhen will have to come back after a while, you have a good relationship with Zhu Jin?" Mo Xian was puzzled at night, the intersection between me and Zhu Jin was just that night.

I smiled and said: "It's not that I pay attention to Zhu Jin, but Lu Mingchuan specially explained to me that he wants to thank Zhu Jin for saving his life, and as soon as Zhu Jin comes back, he must tell him as soon as possible." ”

"Heh, Zhu Jin is his savior? So where did he put us people? Mo Xian said unhappily at night.

Indeed, it is everyone's credit to save Lu Mingchuan, and Zhu Jin just did the most critical part, but Lu Mingchuan was also affected by me in the end.

However, Mo Xianye only said that, and then asked me, "Nothing happened today, right?" I see you seem to be a little uneasy just now. ”

"Mo Xianye, they are eyeing Gu Xiaoxiao, I'm not sure who it is, but Gu Xiaoxiao may be in danger, can you go with me to protect her?" I hugged Mo Xianye's arm and looked at him with blank eyes, "Gu Xiaoxiao is my best sister, if something happens to her, I won't be happy in my life." ”

"Bai Li, you don't live for others, think more about yourself, okay?" Mo Xianye frowned, "Gu Xiaoxiao is very important to you, but you are more important to me, if something happens to you for Gu Xiaoxiao, I will not treat her well." ”

I was anxious: "Mo Xianye, if something happens to me one day, I hope you don't bother Gu Xiaoxiao, so that she can live this life safely and simply, okay?" ”

"Bai Li, you are too naïve, that Gu Xiaoxiao's family is not that simple, right? Do you really think that someone wants to touch her because of you? Mo Xianye asked me rhetorically.

I was stunned.

Gu Xiaoxiao's family has continued from ancient times to the present, and they are all doing feng shui physiognomy, but with the changes of the times, by the time Grandpa Gu's generation has declined, Gu Xiaoxiao's parents were gone when she was very young, how did it not, I never heard Grandpa Gu and Gu Xiaoxiao say, but it seems that in the end, even the body was not found.

Gu Xiaoxiao has been influenced by Grandpa Gu since she was a child, and she has some skills, but she is only limited to small fights, if she needs to take charge of herself one day, I think she is even inferior to me.

So in my consciousness, Gu Xiaoxiao is just like an ordinary person, but obviously, in the eyes of Mo Xianye and even some people who pay attention to the Gu family, Gu Xiaoxiao is not ordinary.

Mo Xianye would not say this for no reason, so after speculating like this, the cause of death of Gu Xiaoxiao's parents is afraid that there is something else, and it is likely to affect Gu Xiaoxiao one day in the future.

No, if the matter of the blood doll this time was not Gu Xiaoxiao because I was implicated, then does it mean that everything has come to the door quietly?

Thinking of this, I couldn't wait any longer, so I pulled Mo Xianye and walked out: "Mo Xianye, we have to hurry up, go to Daliu Village in the western suburbs, and it will take more than 40 minutes to drive without traffic jams." ”

Mo Xian also cooperated at night, he locked the door, I used the taxi app to call a taxi, and seven or eight minutes later, we got into a taxi.

At that time, it was already completely dark, and I went to the western suburbs, and the more I drove along the way, the more desolate it became, and the driver was in a hurry to get home early and drive fast.

At seven o'clock, we went down the mountain road and headed towards Daliu Village.

Daliu Village is bigger than I imagined, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it can't be said that Daliu Village is east-west, with high mountains on the north and south sides, but the west side is much shorter than the mountains on both sides, and it is more like a slightly larger mound.

The village is located in the middle, and the hillside is all farmland, and the houses are arranged in four rows along the eastern entrance to the village.

As soon as you enter the village, you can hear the sound of mournful music, and in the distance, you can see the second row of sheds built inside, brightly lit.

"It should be that house, Gu Xiaoxiao, they are going to keep vigil here tonight, let's go over." After getting out of the taxi, Mo Xianye kept holding my hand tightly, his hand was big and warm, wrapping me in this late autumn night, making me feel at ease.

The two of us went all the way and found Gu Xiaoxiao very smoothly, she was eating at that time, and there were still many things to do at night, so she had the strength to eat enough.

"Where's Grandpa Gu?" I asked questions.

Gu Xiaoxiao pointed to the west: "Smoking." ”

I followed her finger and looked over, and I saw Grandpa Gu standing facing west, smoking a cigarette, and his eyes were always staring at the mound to the west.

I don't know why, looking at Grandpa Gu like that, I inexplicably felt a sense of depression in my heart, and I always felt that Grandpa Gu was a little sad at this moment.

I shook my head, not letting myself be blind, thinking to myself that this feeling of twilight was normal for any seventy-year-old man.

I was thinking about it here, but I heard Gu Xiaoxiao's excited voice coming: "You...... Are you really a Master of Ink? ”

"I'm Mo Xianye." Mo Xianye replied.

Gu Xiaoxiao slapped me on the shoulder and said angrily: "Okay, Ah Li, you actually lied to me, Master Mo is so young and handsome, he is a big brother next door, why did you tell me before that he was old...... Woo...... Woo......"

I covered Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth and looked at Mo Xianye crampedly, damn it, it's really unpleasant to retribution, I kept scandalizing Mo Xianye in front of Gu Xiaoxiao before, but now it's okay, it's all exposed.

However, Mo Xianye seemed to know that I said this about him before, but the old thing was brought up again, and I am afraid that it will not make me feel better.

Gu Xiaoxiao finally pulled my hand away, and said with a smile: "Ah Li, you are so stingy, we are such a good hardcore best friend, you are afraid that I will rob you of the ink master, so you ......"

I pinched her arm hard to stop her from continuing, Gu Xiaoxiao reacted at this time, what were she talking about, and glanced at Mo Xianye's face again, and immediately stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

Mo Xianye didn't say much, just walked towards Grandpa Gu, I don't know if he can talk to Grandpa Gu, but since he has passed, there should be something to ask, right?

I didn't care about this, but asked Gu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, who died inside?" ”

"It's a strong guy in his thirties, it's a pity that it's gone." Gu Xiaoxiao said.

I was surprised: "Why is there no good one?" Sick? ”

"It was an accident." Gu Xiaoxiao said while shoeing rice, "I heard from his family that it was because he went into the mountains to hunt a few days ago, stepped on the edge of the cliff and fell to his death. ”

"Blame the poor thing." At the age of thirty, the old and the young, are the pillars of a family, and if they are gone, this family will be scattered.

Gu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shook her head: "This is the big guy's rhetoric, if it is really that simple, there is no need for us to keep vigil here." ”

When she spoke, she lowered her voice and whispered in my ear, I was startled and asked, "What else is there to do?" ”

"If you see the corpse with your own eyes, you understand." Gu Xiaoxiao's chin nodded towards the mourning hall, and said in a more whispered voice, "Before the main family invited us to come, the corpse had been lying in the mourning hall for three days. ”

"What?" I suddenly became serious.

In the past, when a person died, there were seven days of silence at home, but now, it is generally three days, the next day in the afternoon, the cremation will be carried out, and the third day will be buried in peace.

And this corpse has been stopped for three days before, Gu Xiaoxiao and they have been here for more than a day, and the corpse has not been cremated yet?

I'm afraid there is really an article in this.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "It is said that it fell from the cliff, the cliff must be three stories high, and if a person falls down, the bones will be broken, not to mention that the outer skin is scratched or something, but there is nothing on the corpse, it is clean, and there is no sign of breaking or shattering the bones of the whole body. ”

"But his family wants to deal with it as if they fell off a cliff, right?" I asked.

"Yes." Gu Xiaoxiao said, "They only need us to help Chaodu, and they don't need to do anything else, and according to the will of the main family, they can't be cremated, and they will be buried at three o'clock after midnight today." ”

I gasped and was stunned.

Let's not talk about the question of cremation or burial, let's talk about the time of burial, ordinary people are buried, they must avoid the night, after all, at that time, the yin and evil atmosphere is final, his family is good, and the hour chooses three watches in the middle of the night, why is this?

"What does Grandpa Gu mean?" The main family is messing around, Grandpa Gu will not stop them, but Grandpa Gu has already taken over this matter, there must be a saying, otherwise, he would not have touched this matter easily from the beginning.

Gu Xiaoxiao was obviously a little unhappy when she heard me ask: "Don't mention it, when the people from Daliu Village found grandpa, they said that I wouldn't let grandpa take over this matter, but I don't know why, he didn't listen to me at all, insisted on taking it, and promised to bury him at three o'clock in the morning." ”

"Do you think my grandfather is old and confused, doesn't he have to crash into the ghost gate? I really can't help this old man. ”

Gu Xiaoxiao complained, I turned my eyes to look at Grandpa Gu, Mo Xianye was standing beside Grandpa Gu, the two were talking something, but they were standing a little far away, and I couldn't hear their conversation.

Grandpa Gu has been walking on the Yin and Yang Road all his life, although he has not done anything vigorous, but he will not do such a stupid thing.

He knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he preferred to go to the tiger mountains.

There are only two situations in which this choice will be made, one is that he is not afraid of the tiger in the mountains at all, and the other is that he has a reason to take over this matter.

I wasn't sure what kind of situation it was, but I comforted Gu Xiaoxiao and said, "It's okay, with Mo Xian here at night, even if something happens, he can help settle it." ”

"Yes, I was quite worried before, but from the moment you said that you would bring Master Mo with you, my heart was properly in my stomach, and I was not afraid at all." Gu Xiaoxiao exaggerated.

I was noncommittal, Gu Xiaoxiao was busy eating, asked me if I had eaten, and said that this chef had good skills, I shook my head and said that I couldn't eat.

Gu Xiaoxiao had to hold the lamp for the corpse, so I had to be busy after eating, so I walked towards Mo Xianye's side, Grandpa Gu had finished smoking a few cigarettes, and there were cigarette butts in front of his feet.

When I was over, they had stopped talking, I said hello to Grandpa Gu, who nodded at me and said, "Be careful tonight, don't run around if you have nothing to do." ”

I agreed, Grandpa Gu went to the mourning hall, I tugged on Mo Xianye's sleeve and asked, "What did you talk to Grandpa Gu about just now?" He seemed very unhappy. ”

"I just asked about the deceased and something, and it's nothing." Moxian said at night.

I pouted at him, "What are you doing guarding against me?" ”

"I didn't guard against you," Mo Xianye subconsciously wanted to explain, but looking at my eyes, it was obvious that he already knew something, so he sighed and said, "Gu Lao said that this is not the first time he has taken over the funeral of Daliu Village, nor is it the first time he has taken over such a cause of death. ”

"Not for the first time?" There is really something in this, "Has Grandpa Gu experienced such a thing before?" How many years ago? ”

"Twenty years ago." Mo Xianye said.

Twenty years ago?

Twenty years ago, that wasn't ......

It dawned on me: "You mean ......"

"Yes, the matter of Daliu Village is not only the matter of the people of Daliu Village themselves, but also has a certain relationship with the Gu family, so no matter what, Gu Lao will come, and he has dealt with similar things, there should be no big problems tonight." Mo Xianye thought about it and explained, "Don't tell Gu Xiaoxiao about this, Gu Lao doesn't want her to be too involved." ”

"I know the severity, I won't say it." I promised, "But Mo Xianye, I received that blood doll before, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this matter to attack Gu Xiaoxiao, I'm afraid it will be someone from Lu Lao Wu's side." ”

Mo Xianye touched my head and didn't care at all: "Don't worry, with me, he can't make big waves." ”

I leaned against him and whispered, "Mo Xianye, it's good to have you by my side." ”

Mo Xianye opened his mouth and was just about to say something, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from the direction of the west, and he shouted as he ran: "It's foggy, Gu Lao, it's foggy in the mountains." ”
