That's a coincidence.

When we arrived in Baishui Village, we didn't know anything, and there were problems with language communication, but this Jin Xi suddenly told us that his hometown was from Baishui Village, and there was an old ancestral house of their family.

Yan Xiangci also expressed surprise and asked him if his home was not in Honghu City? It's all written on the file.

Jin Xi explained that his ancestral home was here, and his great-grandfather was born here when he was very young, and later moved to Hubei, moved his hukou there, and later married a Hubei girl. His grandfather, his father, and he were all born in Hubei, so the files all wrote Hubei. Like Jin Xi, Yan Xiangci and Jin Shiyi, they belong to special talents, and the archives are recorded in great detail and can be traced back to the last two generations.

Jin Xi took us to his family's ancestral house, which was made of mountain stones and was very strong.

When we went inside, we didn't expect that the inside was more complete than the outside, and we didn't come back for so many years, and we could barely live there. In the middle is a hall, with two rooms to the left and right, a patio behind it, and two symmetrical rooms behind the patio, and the kitchen at the back.

It was also dark, so we simply cleaned up the Golden Breath Ancestral House and stayed there for the time being.

Jin Xi told us that when he was a child, his grandfather often told him the story that his grandfather had told, saying that there was a big embankment behind Baishui Village, which surrounded the entire Baishui Village and many small villages around it. Those days were the hardest for adults, but for their children, they were the most lively. Because the water has not passed the grass embankment behind it, it has overflowed to the door of the house. They can sit in the house and fish, or they can pull a rope tied to the window and swim.

Jin Xi's grandfather often plays in the water at the door of his house with groups of three or five friends. If it is found by an adult, it will be beaten up, and it is said that it will be thrown into the water to be the bride of the water monkey.

The memories of Grandpa Jin Xi's childhood came out of Jin Xi's mouth, as if it were just yesterday.

We all wanted to go and see if the embankment was the same as Nanwu Village, and Jin Xi was not very familiar with this place, he had only heard about it when he was a child, and this was the first time he came back. We walked for a long time until we found the embankment, which could see the whole village at a glance. There are no mountains here, only rivers, and large and small rivers merge into a main river, which then flows into the Yangtze River.

The Baishui Village in front of him is very different from the small village in the memory of Grandpa Jin Xitai, and the revised draft of Baishui Village at this moment has completely changed. The most luxurious houses in Baishui Village are only two floors, and the worst ones are no different from a cowshed. There is a cedar forest at the entrance of the village, and there is an empty grave mound in the woods, which is a bit scary. Most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, most of them in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and there are only a dozen blind old men and old ladies left.

After dark, there was an indescribable weirdness in the whole Baishui Village.

We walked along the embankment for a while, then returned to Baishui Village, and randomly picked a family at the head of the village to inquire which one was Yue Ming's father's ancestral house.

This is a lame grandmother who lives at the head of the village, surnamed Yang.

We call her Yang Po.

Jin Xi said that the custom here is like this, if you are not used to calling grandma, the grandmother surnamed Chen is called Chen Po, the grandfather surnamed Song is called Song Dad, and the surname Yang is called Yang Po.

As soon as Yang Po heard that we were looking for someone surnamed Yue, her face immediately changed, and she lowered her voice and said, "Little girl, what are you looking for the descendants of the Yue family?" They are all insane. ”

"How?" We were immediately curious.

Yang Po said: "The people in their family are not people......

"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about!" A boy of twelve or thirteen years old came out of the house and stopped Yang Po from continuing. When the boy saw us, he asked alarmedly, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? Why did you come here? ”

Jin Xi smiled and explained to the boy in the local language: "Oh...... We went home to worship our ancestors, and we haven't been back for two years, and we don't know the way. (These conversations were translated by Jin Xi and us when I came back to the house, and I wrote them out directly here.) ）

The boy said, "You guys don't look like you're here to worship your ancestors, are you?" They are all outsiders. ”

Jin Xi smiled awkwardly.

The boy asked, "Aren't you here for that grass?" ”

My eyes lit up: "What is Champion Grass?" "Could it be that this champion grass is the ninth copper coin?

Yang Po interjected: "Cat baby, there is still tea in the house, go and pour some for the guests." The boy answered, turned his head and went into the house and poured out a few glasses of water, I took one of them, and tasted it lightly, there was a kind of earthy fragrance mixed with the aroma of runic water, quite delicious.

I was drinking vigorously when Lingzheng suddenly put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed it gently.

I suddenly realized that I didn't dare to drink this tea again.

At this time, Shen Yan also leaned into my ear and whispered: Stupid girl, be careful, this village is unusual, be careful that this tea is poisonous. - I shook the hand holding the cup, maybe it was a psychological effect, as soon as I heard Shen Yan say this, I felt that the laughter of Yang Po and the cat baby in front of me had become very ghostly.

I deliberately reached out and made contact with Yang Po's body for a while, and found that she was not a dead person, nor was she a ghost.

Yang Po stared at Ling Zheng for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It turned out to be the god of heaven and earth, you are so noble, why do you still want to stay in the world and suffer from reincarnation?" Why do you want to come to our Whitewater Village? "I don't understand, it's Jin Xi who translated it to me.

Lingzheng did not reply.

Yang Po turned her head to look at me again and said, "Little girl, what a seedling." ”

Although we can't find out the depth of their abilities, our intuition tells us that Yang Po and Mao Baby are not ordinary people.

Shen Yan was playful, took the initiative to walk up to Yang Po, and asked, "Then show me, what am I?" Yang Po snorted and said, "You don't have to look at it at all, my wife can smell the fragrance of you from a long distance...... No, and the young man standing next to you, too, incense. ”

The dialogue with Yang Po was almost always completed by Jin Xidang's translation.

Jin Shiyi pulled Shen Yan behind him to protect her, and said to Yang Po: "Since you can smell the smell of us, you must be a fellow believer, right?" Then let's open the skylight and say bright words, this trip, we are here to find Yue Dong (Yue Ming's father), and please ......" Before Jin Shiyi finished asking, Yang Po suddenly rolled her eyes a few times and fell to the ground on her back, convulsions constantly, spitting white foam, the skin on her face was originally like dry bark, but now it is more like rotten bark, rubbing against the foot of the table or on the ground, it grinds off a large piece of skin and flesh.

The skin and flesh are gone, and the blood inside does not flow out, but slowly dips, forming drops of blood, which hang with the flesh and skin.

Jin Shi pulled Shen Yan back a few steps, King Ling's tomb wrapped his big hand and protected Yan Xiangci, Ling Zhengze took half a step forward, blocking in front of me, leaving only Jin Xi alone, standing stunned, the first time he saw this kind of scene, he seemed to be scared stupid, and he didn't know how to dodge, so he just stood upright and watched.

The cat called her mother-in-law twice, and then unhurriedly went to the bedroom to get a lot of strips of cloth and tied Yang Po's wrists and ankles until they were the thickness of a finger. Then he took a thicker towel, wrapped it around Yang Po's neck, tied a dead knot, and tightened it hard.

Yang Po's face took on a dead man's purple-blue color, and her tongue was squeezed out.

"You're going to kill someone, kid?" Yan Xiangci was anxious to go up and let go of the towel around Yang Po's neck, but King Ling pulled him and said coldly: "Don't interfere." ”

Yan Xiangci looked back at King Ling's tomb in confusion, King Ling's tomb was so upset that he didn't bother to explain.

I asked Lingzhengdao, "Don't you save yourself when you die?" ”

"Don't be impulsive, wait a minute." Lingzheng poured all the water from the cup in his hand to the ground, and as soon as the water touched the ground, it burrowed into it like a snake.

My mouth opened wide for a moment.

What kind of water is this? I just took a few big sips.

Oh, my God!

I grabbed my throat and retched to the side.

The cat baby was still strangling Yang Po's neck, until Yang Po was completely unresponsive, and then she untied the strips of cloth on her hands and feet, and finally on her neck. But as soon as the towel was removed, I immediately saw that there was a ring of fractures on Yang Po's neck, and there were many small scars next to the fractures. It's like a rag doll that has had its neck cut off and then sewn it up with a needle after a needle.

After doing this, the cat baby went into the house again and came out with a large piece of pork.

The pork was so fresh, about two catties, and the smell of blood was so bad that I almost vomited out my stomach acid.

That Yang Po was like dead just now, and when she saw the pork, she immediately jumped up, tore and ate it. When eating, the eyes were still closed, and after eating, I opened my eyes and asked the cat baby to ask for it. After eating four or five pieces in a row, she returned to the original appearance of the lame old woman.

If it weren't for the Spirit holding me up from behind, I would have fainted.

I really can't imagine that a living person can do crazy things more terrifying than evil spirits.

The cat baby and Yang Po stood side by side, as if nothing had happened just now, quietly looking at us. Yang Po stepped forward and said: "I see that your hearts are also quite kind, don't go to the descendants of the Yue family, follow me to cultivate, we have the champion grass, after practice, the spiritual power is stronger than the gods, not only the yin and yang worlds are ours, even the gods and spirits are not our opponents." ”

My heart is still cultivating with you to become a higher existence than the gods, and I am not afraid of being laughed at and lose my big teeth.

The existence of the gods, that is to teach the world goodness, you still eat raw pork, so frightening, defeated the gods, unified the three realms, what do you want to teach sentient beings?

Although I was dissatisfied, I smiled on my face: "Yang Po, we are very willing to cultivate with you, and you also said that our talent is very high, but now we are looking for a person, his name is Yue Dong, that is, the descendant of the Yue family you said, his son died, and we are helping his wife find him." ”

The cat baby preemptively said: "There are quite a lot of divine sticks, and they all go to Houhe, but who is the descendant of the Yue family and who comes to worship the ancestors, we really don't know." Don't pretend, in fact, you are here for the champion grass, I can see that the champion grass is only useful if it is in the hands of my mother-in-law, and it is useless for you to get it. ”

He mentioned Zhuangyuan grass several times, but I couldn't ask about it.

So I asked, "Is that champion grass really so powerful?" Can you show us and open our eyes? ”

"I can't see it, my mother-in-law has buried the champion grass in the mass grave in Houhe, you will definitely not find it." Maowa said, "If the surnamed Yue really comes, I'm afraid he also came to the champion grass, don't think we don't know, and use the excuse that it is to worship the ancestors, his ancestral tomb is in the back river, and the mother-in-law deliberately buried the champion grass in the back river, and those magic sticks hollowed out the ancestral tomb of the Yue family." ”

As she spoke, Yang Po became ill again, and fell to the ground with convulsions all over her body.

The cat baby did the same and repeated the previous steps, and Yang Po's belly became bulging due to eating raw pork, as if she was six or seven months pregnant.

She was sick very often, about once every ten minutes, and it looked too fatal.

Maowa said that Yang Po used to get sick once every few months, and last year she had a seizure once a week, but recently it has become more and more frequent. Until we appeared, Yang Po had already been sick a few times.

I think Yang Po's disease is a bit like a combination of sow madness and sheep epilepsy, but as soon as the two diseases attacked, I didn't hear that eating pork can be cured. It's still eaten raw, it's disgusting.

Coming out of Yang Po, I asked Lingzheng what the hell was going on?

Ling Zheng frowned, and only after a long time did he say, "Do you know that the black cat smells dead and becomes a spirit?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and replied, "You mean, that cat baby is a black cat Chengling?" But no, Yang Po is not a dead person. Lingzheng said lightly: "She is not a dead person, but she can raise a dead person, don't forget, there are many dead people on the other side of the back river." With that, Lingzheng began to assign tasks to everyone. Divided into three groups, one group was taken by Yan Xiangci with Jin Xi and King Ling's tomb, went back to Jinshi Town, and bought some special things back; The second group of Shen Yan and Jin Shilu stayed here, secretly monitoring Yang Po and the cat baby; The three groups of Lingzheng and I will go to the embankment to have a look, check the terrain, and go to Houhe tomorrow.

Yan Xiangci took King Ling's tomb and Jin Xi away, I looked at their backs, and I could still hear the scolding of King Ling's tomb from a distance, he was dissatisfied with Jin Xi. Jin Xi relied on the strict mercy to protect each other, and worked against the tomb of King Ling, so unhappy.

Shen Yan has been pregnant for more than seven months now, and she can't have too much strenuous exercise, so Jin Shiyi grabbed her waist and walked in the patio.

Lingzheng and I went to the embankment.

The grass is ankle-length, the night breeze brings the fragrance of flowers, and the moonlight is hazy, with a sad and beautiful feeling.

"Lingzheng, can you see who Yang Po is?"

"I don't know."

"Hey...... Even you don't know. ”

Ling Zheng smiled: "On the first day of the new year, although I am a city god, I don't know everything, time has not stopped, fate has not stopped, everything is not within a fixed number." - As ...... I don't know what you're thinking at the moment, what do you want to do the next moment? It's the same thing. ”

"You don't know what I'm thinking?" I grinned and jumped up to Lingzheng and met his eyes, "If you think about it again, I really can't guess what I want to do?" ”

"......" Ling Zhengjun blushed, and reluctantly called my name: "First ......"

"Shh I put my index finger on Lingzheng's lips, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, when the husband and wife are in the same room, why don't we have a field battle on this romantic embankment, do you say okay?" ”

Lingzheng's face turned even redder, and the first quarter moon in the sky bent into a beautiful arc.

"Lingzheng, come on......"

I hooked Lingzheng's neck and slowly lifted my lips......
