As soon as I heard it, I hit a spirit at that time, why did Mrs. Zhang suddenly drown in the river? Seeing so many people running in the direction of the river, driven by curiosity, I also wanted to go over and have a look.

I went back to the hall and explained the situation to my cousin, asking him if he would like to come with me.

The cousin drank the gruel in front of him, he shook his head, and said, "Go by yourself, it's not convenient for me to let the people in the village know that I've returned." “

I don't think there's anything wrong with my cousin's words, after all, the news of his death in the army a year ago is known to the whole village, and now he suddenly came back alive, whoever he is, will think this matter is incredible, and my cousin should be to avoid unnecessary trouble, so he said this.

I didn't think much of it, I went out as soon as possible, and soon I was with the other villagers to the river.

The name of the river outside our village is Longxi River, and the name of our Longxi Village is due to such a river, the source of Longxi River is on the side of Tianfu Mountain, the river is not wide, only twenty or thirty meters, but there is a very ancient stone bridge connecting the two ends of the river, one end is our village, and the other end is connected to the outside world, if we want to leave Longxi Village, we must pass through the stone bridge. ，

The stone bridge is old and cannot be traced back to the age of its construction, and below the center of the bridge hangs a rusty iron sword, which I have heard my father say before is called the Dragon Slashing Sword, which can be hung here to cut off the dragon that wants to swim downstream through the river to do evil.

Twelve years ago, a week after Fu Xiaoqin was taken to the back mountain by my father, my aunt drowned under the stone bridge of the Longxi River, but I didn't expect that now Fu Xiaoqin's return has just happened two days ago, and Mrs. Zhang has drowned here.

When I came here, there were already a large number of villagers gathered here, and at this time, Mrs. Zhang's body was placed on the stone platform of the Longxi Bridge, and I squeezed into the crowd for the first time, and the moment I saw Mrs. Zhang's body, I was dumbfounded.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang's whole body was already swollen, and many places on her body were pecked by fish and shrimp, which looked very disgusting.

The villagers were all standing here pointing at Mrs. Zhang's body, and it didn't take long for Liu Delin, the head of our village, and Wang Chunhua, the barefoot doctor in the village, to arrive here.

Liu Delin, the village head, found Luo Mu at that time, and wanted to ask about the situation when he found the body of Mrs. Zhang here just now.

Luo Dumb is in his fifties this year, he became deaf and mute more than ten years ago, he has been gesturing at Liu Delin for a long time, but no one knows what he is gesturing, and in the end, Luo Dumb can only stand in place and do it in a hurry, constantly stomping his feet.

At this time, the barefoot doctor Wang Chunhua observed the body of Mrs. Zhang back and forth, and finally he said a sentence that made me feel like a thunderbolt from the sky, he said that judging from the decomposition of Mrs. Zhang's body at this time, she has been soaking in this water for at least three days, maybe longer, maybe five days.

As soon as I heard it, people were stupid at that time, how could this be possible, Mrs. Zhang was still with me last night, how could she have died three days ago?

At this moment, such a picture suddenly appeared in my mind, that is, when my cousin and I just went home yesterday, Mrs. Zhang who was standing at the door was all wet, and later, my cousin put five peanuts on the table of eight immortals and arranged them in a row, and then said to Mrs. Zhang for five days.

At that time, Mrs. Zhang looked extremely nervous, and then she left my house in despair, is it possible to say that the matchmaker Zhang who stayed with me before had actually died a long time ago, and besides, my cousin already knew that she was not human?

Thinking of this, I only felt that my back was completely covered with a layer of cold sweat, first it was just a Fu Xiaoqin, and now I was actually involved with a matchmaker Zhang, I ran back home in despair, wanting to find my cousin to ask what was going on.

Strangely, I didn't find my cousin when I got back, and I didn't know where he had gone.

Finally I found a note on the table, left by my cousin, that read, "Until I come back, stay at home, don't go out, don't go anywhere." “

At this time, I found that in the center of the door of my house, a gossip mirror was hung, and not only that, but every window in my house was hung with a red rope with copper coins.

I've heard before that the red rope and gossip mirror with copper coins have the effect of warding off evil spirits, which should have been specially arranged for me by my cousin, although I have never believed in this kind of thing, but now after experiencing so many strange things, this still more or less makes me feel a lot more grounded.

I thought my cousin would be back soon, but what I didn't expect was that two days had passed, and my cousin still hadn't returned.

And because Mrs. Zhang was alone and had no relatives, her body was buried by the village chief the next morning, and that morning, the village chief found our house, originally wanted to ask my dad to help carry Mrs. Zhang's coffin, but found that my dad was not at home at all.

I didn't tell the village chief that my dad had disappeared, but I just said that he had gone on a long trip and would not be able to return for more than half a month.

Maybe it was my cousin who blocked me that night, or maybe it was because the gossip mirror and red rope left by my cousin before he left really played a role in warding off evil spirits, and I didn't encounter anything unfavorable to me for the next two days, and the two Fu Xiaoqin didn't come to me.

I thought that this matter should be over like this, but what I didn't expect was that on the night after Mrs. Zhang's death, something even more terrifying happened.

That night, not long after I fell asleep, I heard a sound of someone slapping my hand outside the door, because of the strange things that happened a few days ago, my nerves have become very fragile, when I heard this sound, my first reaction was that something dirty came to the door.

However, I remembered that I had a gossip mirror hanging on the door, so I wasn't very worried that the dirty thing would be able to rush into the house, but what upset me was that the slapping sound kept ringing, and it didn't stop for more than ten minutes, and along with this slapping sound, I heard a clattering sound outside the door.

"It's not dirty, it's dumb."

After making sure of this, I got dressed for the first time, and then came to the door of my house, and through the crack in the door, I saw that there was a dumb man outside who was constantly banging on the door of my house, and he looked very anxious, as if he was looking for me to have a hundred thousand urgent things.

A wave of anger instantly surged into my heart, I have nothing to do with this dumb man on weekdays, and because this guy used to see me, he would often babble and compare with me, as if he wanted to chat with me, I am a normal person, where will I chat with a mute, so every time I see him and me like this, I feel very annoyed with him.

As soon as I opened the door, I just wanted to yell at him to knock on my door in the middle of the night, but Luo suddenly grabbed me by the arm, and then pulled me out of the door.

I panicked all of a sudden, being like this by a dumb person in the middle of the night, and anyone would be scared.

I instinctively tried to break away from Kairo's mute hand, but then I realized that this guy's hand was so strong that I couldn't break free of him at all.

At this time, I was like a powerless mother-in-law, dragged by Luo dumb all the way to the door, and I kept asking him what he wanted to do along the way, and I was going to shout for help if I didn't let go.

But this guy didn't pay any attention to me, in fact he couldn't hear what I was saying at all, he just squeaked anxiously, and he didn't know what he was trying to say.

Strange to say, I was dragged outside by Luo Hum along the way, and I started shouting for help in the middle of the way, but the villagers around me were like they were dead, and no one went out to look at me.

In the end, I was about to feel hopeless, and my heart was getting more and more scared, and finally, Luo Dumb pulled me all the way to the east of the village, and when I finally stopped, I was stupid, because the place where Luo Dumb took me at this time was the door of Mrs. Zhang's house.
