"Forget it, if you can't find it, you won't look for it, anyway, even if this person is here, you can't do anything, it doesn't make much difference with him or not." At this time, the people who are still at home are already preparing to go up the mountain one after another, so we naturally won't spend too much time looking for Pan Guanghai.

After a while, the white-faced scholar also returned, saying that he had gone to several places, including the mountains behind Pan's courtyard, and found no breath of Pan Guanghai.

I was not surprised by this, I said hard, and after a few more gossips, I let the white-faced scholar go back to the mountains and forests.

Just after nine o'clock, at the location of Pan Guanghai's house in the village, after a burst of gunsmoke, there was the sound of firecrackers, followed by some noisy shouting, and people carried all the things they needed to go out officially.

At this time, Pan Guanghai, who had disappeared, was still nowhere to be seen, and the old village chief had completely given up the idea of looking for him.

The large team, composed of mostly sturdy men, had just left the Pan family courtyard and came to Heba, and the old village chief and branch secretary arrived first together with the old wizard supported by the eldest son.

The village chief and branch secretary are already old, and this mountain road is not easy for them, especially for the older old wizards who are not optimistic about their physical condition, it is already a challenge, and they must rush to the mountain many times in advance to reach it first.

Although the old wizard came with him, there were also his robes, straw sandals, newly made crossbow arrows, bamboo hexagram tiger umbrellas and other "magic weapons".

Although the significance of the cutscene is far greater than the actual significance, the Liao family requires that no steps be missing, and the wizards of their ethnic minorities in the vicinity who have enough ability to handle red and white ceremonies and prestige enough to satisfy the Liao family are only the old wizards, in order to prevent the Liao family from picking out what is wrong, they can only ask the old wizard to come out in person.

Arriving first were Liao Shangzhou and his two brothers.

When he came to the grave, he glanced at me, and after nodding his head slightly, the old wizard asked his son to help him to a place where the sun could fully bask beside him, and put a leather cushion to sit down and rest, without saying a word or looking at me again.

And found that Pan Guanghai was not with me as the old village chief said, although Liao Shangzhou was not very surprised, he also showed some dissatisfaction.

Since he had to agree to my suggestion that night, resulting in the failure to move his daughter's body home for burial, Liao Shangzhou's gratitude that I had just built up for helping his family and allowing them to see their daughter again inevitably dissipated a little, although the meeting was still polite, but it was also obviously estranged.

It's not what I want to see, but it's already the way it is, and there's no other way.

"Xiao Nian, you said that white-eyed wolf with no conscience, where did he die, there is still no shadow, I really don't know what to do! In case the daughter-in-law's mother's side really grabs this braid and has a seizure, and when the time comes, it will be really comfortable...... Why did the Pan family come up with such a thing that should be cut a thousand times, I really wish that the white-eyed wolf was dead now......" After finding a chance to speak, the old village chief called me aside, sighed and cursed in a low voice, so anxious that his mouth began to foam.

"Third master, don't be in a hurry, don't talk angry, if you don't see it, you won't be there, if you want me to say, it's best if he's not there, even if there is any situation, the Liao family doesn't have much chance of having a seizure, after all, he is the party concerned, and we are all outsiders, even if we are not happy in our hearts, we will not directly spill our anger on the heads of others." Seeing that the old village chief was worried, I had to change ways to comfort him.

A little stunned glanced at me, and the old village chief sighed again: "Xiao Nian, there is actually a certain truth in what you say, but I'm just worried, when it's time to break ground, I still can't see the white-eyed wolf, and my daughter-in-law's mother's side will use the topic to play and force us to find out the people before we can move......"

"Don't worry, third master, I'll appease the Liao family, and make sure that when the time comes, no matter whether Brother Guanghai is there or not, it can go smoothly." The old village chief's worries are not unreasonable, Pan Guanghai, the most important party, is not there, and it is indeed easy to fall into the hands of others.

So after comforting the old village chief for the time being, I walked over to Liao Shangzhou and his wife.

Liao Shangzhou, who saw me approaching and was listening to the village party secretary who accompanied me, glanced at me and did not speak.

"Uncle Liao, don't worry, you have seen the current situation, we didn't expect such a thing to happen, so I hope you can understand...... nodded and said hello, and after the village party secretary took the initiative to retreat and let us have space to speak, I said to Liao Shangzhou.

"I understand you, who understands me?" As soon as the words fell, Liao Shangzhou spoke lightly, looked at me and said, "Little brother, I don't blame you for this, I know your difficulties, but then again, I also have difficulties, right?" ”

"Good daughter, follow such a person, say no and it's gone, this doesn't count, now we have made the biggest concessions, willing to settle things, I just hope that my daughter can live better below, but the person who should not be lacking is the most unseen at this time, what should you make me think?"

Squinting his eyes slightly, after glancing at the Pan family's courtyard on the opposite side of the mountain, Liao Shangzhou continued with a blank expression: "I know that the person in charge of the Pan family has his own thoughts in his heart, and he is worried that at this juncture, we will give them some problems because of the surname Pan, so we simply let him not show up." In this regard, I can only say that the Pan family is really thinking too much, and it has come to this point, what else do we have to think about? ”

"I don't recognize this relationship anymore, but my daughter has always stayed in this place forever, don't you say? In the future, we will come back to see our daughter no less, even if we don't hold the idea that someone can receive it when we arrive, we also hope that what we will see by then is a grave bag that someone has taken care of, not a lonely grave that has been forgotten, so since we agreed, how could we deliberately make things difficult for the Pan family. ”

After Liao Shangzhou finished speaking, after being silent for a while, I nodded and said: "Uncle Liao, I'm glad you can think so, but you really misunderstood us about Pan Guanghai's disappearance, this person did run out by himself before dawn, not us hiding people." ”

Liao Shangzhou's eyebrows moved slightly, looked at me and said, "Little brother, I have just said, I don't blame you for this, and I believe that you didn't hide people, but if you didn't hide it, it doesn't mean that the Pan family didn't hide it either." Just imagine, a person who does not disappear sooner or later does not disappear, but he disappeared at this pass today, and disappeared completely in just a few minutes, and he has not found such a large place. Could it be that this person really has wings and flies, or has long claws to burrow into the ground? ”

I couldn't help but be stunned.

After Liao Shangzhou shook his head, he said: "So little brother, it's unreasonable to think about this matter, you have already gone out to the mountain at that time, I don't know what is going on in the village, I also believe that you don't know about this matter, but if I want to believe it, no one will help the person surnamed Pan hide, I can't do it anyway." ”

After listening to Liao Shangzhou, I immediately frowned.

Although I still believe that the old village chief would not do such a thing, but after thinking about it carefully, what Liao Shangzhou said is actually not unreasonable.

A person who is mentally ill and has small and small dark wounds on his body that has not healed is really unlikely to disappear completely in just a short period of time, and he can't find it after digging three feet into the ground.

The key is that even the white-faced scholar who is already familiar with Pan Guanghai has not been able to find his breath after walking around the village, which is really strange.

"Uncle Liao, what do you say......" Slightly suspicious, after glancing at the old village chief who was sighing next to the old wizard, I said to Liao Shangzhou: "Although I also think this is a bit strange when I hear you say this, but in my opinion, the Pan family has no need at all, and there is no reason to hide Pan Guanghai, after all, everyone knows that this will cause you to be very angry." ”

A little smiled coldly, Liao Shangzhou said: "I am really angry, but if you persuade me, little brother, don't I even if I am angry, it is not easy to send it out?" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned again.

Gradually sneering, Liao Shangzhou was silent for a moment, then looked at me and said: "That's it, little brother, in front of you, Uncle Liao, I will directly say the words: Since I have agreed to bury the girl in this place, then no matter what, I will not regret it, and I will not find fault with the Pan family again, when the time comes, everything will go normally, even if his Pan family leaves it now, our Liao family will do it ourselves, and there will be no delay for a minute." ”

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "As for Pan Guanghai, before breaking ground, he took the initiative to show up, and it would be okay to come to my girl's grave, but if he didn't come, it was best for this person to never appear again, otherwise...... I won't be able to let him go again. ”

In the end, Liao Shangzhou's eyes were already cold.

After putting away the chill in his eyes and patting me lightly on the shoulder, Liao Shangzhou walked over to the tombstone with a pale expression, his eyes stayed on the grave bag most of the time, and his wife, who had never said a word.

Although he didn't say it, his meaning couldn't be more obvious—he wanted me to relay his last words to the old village chief.

But this can be called an ultimatum, and even with a little murderous intent, can I really let the old village chief know?

Although intellectually speaking, Pan Guanghai is indeed more like being hidden, I still feel that the old village chief did not do this, or that he did not know.

"Nian Nian, what did he tell you?" I don't know when, my dad and Master Wu have come to the side, and seeing that I haven't come back to my senses for a long time, they had to wake me up.

And the village chief and branch secretary who accompanied the old wizard to bask in the sun were also looking over here.

"It's nothing, it's just that if you can't find Pan Guanghai, I'm afraid something will happen......" Taking a light breath, I said in a somewhat serious tone.

"So serious? Isn't it just a matter of absence, as for it? Seeing my serious expression, my dad immediately frowned.

Realizing that I shouldn't have said it so seriously, I quickly put away my thoughts, told my father and Master Wu about the situation, and told them not to let others know about it first, and then walked over to the old village chief and them.

Liao Shangzhou's words must not be conveyed as they are, but in any case, the old village chief must be somewhat aware of the seriousness of the problem, after all, such a big matter, I can't cover it alone, in case the time comes, Pan Guanghai still doesn't show up, I don't know what will happen at all.

After listening to what I said clearly, the old village chief also hurriedly took out the phone and arranged for the people who were still at home to continue looking for him. This time, the scope has expanded a lot, not only in the village and the surroundings, but also arranged for people who are good at hunting to take hunting dogs to find them in the mountains and forests.

At this point, we can only hope that the Pan family can find the person before the ground breaks, or if someone really let Pan Guanghai hide, and after knowing the seriousness of the problem, let him come out and show up.

After the old village chief sent more people to find it, I had the idea, picked up the breakfast he packed, and ate it with my father, Master Wu.

In a vaguely anxious waiting, a large army carrying new coffins and sacrifices gradually arrived. At this time, the old wizard, with the help of his son, put on a robe and straw sandals, and put on a tiger umbrella.

After placing the sacrifices in front of the tombstones, lighting a large amount of incense, candles, and paper money, the old wizard wearing a tiger umbrella on his head, hanging crossbow arrows from his waist, and holding a big rooster in his arms, shook his face, shouted loudly and powerfully, chanted a spell and danced the exorcism dance.

At the same time, the specially invited reed sheng band, along with the old wizard's dance steps, blew in the sound of a large number of firecrackers that exploded in an instant, and the mountain bay was filled with gunsmoke and smoke in an instant.

The old wizard was very old and in poor health, and after dancing around the grave to perform the exorcism dance, he was already out of breath, so he had to retreat and rest, and his eldest son took the rooster and continued to dance.

It lasted until after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, when the hustle and bustle cooled down a little, and finally the old wizard came back to the stage, chanting incantations for the final ritual before the opening of the coffin.

And until this time, Pan Guanghai still did not come.

Although the scene has been very lively, most people's mood is a little heavy to varying degrees. Those who know the inside story are for the moment when the coffin is opened, and it is about to come, Pan Guanghai is still worried about no news, and those who don't know the inside story are simply because of fear.

Although they all know that the matter of Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law's resentment has been resolved, and she will no longer harm people, after all, it is an existence that has scared everyone in several villages a lot during this period of time, and how can that kind of fear from the heart be easily eliminated.

And as the last moment was coming, he still couldn't see Pan Guanghai, and Liao Shangzhou, who had been watching from the sidelines with a wooden face, gradually became extremely gloomy.
