Chapter 16: Who's Hurting

My grandfather?

Zhou Daochang's words made me immediately retort: "Impossible, didn't you just say that it was the evil ghost who harmed people, how could grandpa do this, besides, grandpa had already jumped into the river and committed suicide." ”

Zhou Daochang smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't say that it was your grandfather's own hand, I told you at the beginning that your grandfather is also a person in our Daomen, a person in the Daomen, not only can catch ghosts and catch demons, but also control ghosts." ”

I said that's impossible, the first person to die in the village was Wang Yong's father, if grandpa had been alive, he could suspect grandpa, but after grandpa died, there were a series of dead people in the village, and these had nothing to do with grandpa.

Zhou Daochang said meaningfully: "Do you think your grandfather is really dead?" ”

I was stunned, what do you mean?

Zhou Daochang made an analogy and said: "Even if an ordinary police officer handles a case, before the body is found, they can only determine that the person is missing, and they will not say that they are dead." ”

I understand what Zhou Daochang means, but since that small river is a yin spring, how can a living person survive if he jumps down, and grandpa is not a fish.

However, Zhou Daochang's next sentence made me speechless: "Don't forget, even if your grandfather dies, he can still harm people, have you forgotten what happened last night?" ”

Yes, even if a person dies, he can become a zombie and harm people.

Zhou Daochang continued: "And the people in the Daomen, once they die, whether they become ghosts or zombies, they are more powerful than normal ghosts and zombies. ”

I asked if people become ghosts or zombies when they die.

Daochang Zhou shook his head: "That's not it, ghosts and zombies are not so easy to change, but the people in the Dao Sect, as long as they want, can become one of them after death." ”

I was silent, so grandpa really had this suspicion, but grandpa had no reason to harm the people in the village.

Zhou Daochang said that grandpa must have his own reasons, and asked me to think carefully about whether grandpa had done something strange before.

It's true, when Grandpa was there, what he said and did was contradictory.

First asked me not to associate with Xiaowei, saying that Xiaowei had become a zombie, and then asked me to go to the church with Ji Meimei, these things are ridiculous, but on the night of the worship, grandpa actually asked Xiaowei to come to me to marry the cave room.

To this day, I still can't figure out what my grandfather's intentions are.

However, Zhou Daochang said that grandpa's intentions were also very simple and obvious.

I was puzzled and asked, what could grandpa have in mind.

Zhou Daochang squinted and smiled: "Your grandfather obviously let you marry two women at the same time, you married Xiaowei, and when you marry Xiaowei, when you become a grandfather, you naturally want to avenge your granddaughter-in-law." ”

I was stunned, and it seemed that this was the most reasonable explanation.

However, I still don't understand, grandpa and Xiaowei's grandmother are very incompatible, and they also scold other people's grandmothers for not being a good person, how could grandpa think of letting me marry Xiaowei.

Zhou Daochang clasped his hands in front of his chest, sneered at me, and said: "Your kid's EQ is really low, I can't figure it out, the grievances of the older generation, the best way to take revenge is to let the male juniors on his side marry the female juniors of the other party." ”

Yes?

This may sound awkward, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

Zhou Daochang continued: "Don't forget, your grandfather is a member of the Daomen, and he also knows the Ninth Princess, if Lao Tzu has a son, he will also find a way to let him marry the Ninth Princess." ”

I smiled dryly and asked him, since I know that Xiaowei is the ninth princess, do you know who Ji Meimei is?

Zhou Daochang's face changed, and he said in a little panic: "I don't know, I've never heard of Ji Meimei, but I advise you, since there is a ninth princess, don't pay attention to that Ji Meimei." ”

I'll just ask, I only have Xiaowei in my heart, so I won't provoke that Ji Meimei, besides, Ji Meimei is an unfamiliar name to me.

"Okay, you now know that your grandfather is a suspect, and besides your grandfather, there is another person who is also very suspicious."

Zhou Daochang didn't say anything about his grandfather, his expression became serious, and he interrupted me.

I was puzzled and asked who else was.

Zhou Daochang looked at me deeply and said, "What do you think?" ”

I was stunned, the first person who came to mind was Xiaowei's grandmother, after all, her performance before and after was quite weird.

I told my guess, and Zhou Daochang said, "You guessed right, it's Xiaowei's grandmother." ”

I hurriedly said that Xiaowei's grandmother had died a long time ago, and the body was in the red coffin, how did she harm people?

In fact, Xiaowei's grandmother is the most suspicious person, and she also has a reason to harm people.

In any case, Xiaowei was wronged, and as a grandmother, she was angry for avenging her granddaughter and killing Wang Yong and the people in the village, which is a very reasonable explanation.

However, Xiaowei told me in person yesterday that the guy who killed Wang Yong and the people in the village was not to avenge her, so how to explain it.

Zhou Daochang paused for a few seconds and said, "Can you be sure that the person in the coffin is Xiaowei's grandmother?" ”

I was stunned on the spot by saying this, I hadn't seen the body in the coffin with my own eyes, so I couldn't be sure.

Zhou Daochang continued: "I might as well tell you one more thing, the ninth princess, it is impossible to have a grandmother, that is to say, Xiaowei's grandmother is not her grandmother at all. ”

I was a little confused, but this made me think of a scene I saw a few days ago, Xiaowei's grandmother, kneeling in front of Xiaowei's photo, at that time I was still wondering, how could the elders kneel and worship their juniors.

I asked Zhou Daochang, it's not Xiaowei's grandmother, so who is she?

Zhou Dao said: "Of course it's the slave of the Ninth Princess." ”

Servant?

Zhou Daochang smiled and said, "Why, as a princess, is it strange to have a slave?" ”

I shook my head, not surprisingly, if Xiaowei's grandmother was actually her slave, then everything would make sense.

Looking at it this way, it seems certain that Xiaowei's grandmother is the one who killed the entire village.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not quite right, Xiaowei's grandmother has died a long time ago, and the old lady I saw at the beginning should have been pretended to be someone else.

At this time, Zhou Daochang said, "Don't doubt it anymore, as long as you open the coffin and take a look, everything will be revealed." ”

I was startled by this, and finally I was talking about opening the coffin.

I remember that the guy who pretended to be Xiaowei's grandmother told me that if you want to know everything, you should open the red coffin and take a look, and Zhou Daochang is now also intentionally or unintentionally saying that I should open the coffin.

However, both Grandpa and Xiaowei told me not to open the coffin.

In all fairness, I naturally chose to believe Grandpa and Xiaowei's words, but I was also curious about what was in the coffin.

I struggled with my mind for a while, I felt that I couldn't take any chances, that reason prevailed over curiosity, and that I couldn't open the coffin by saying anything.

And thinking about it now, Zhou Daochang has analyzed so much, is it possible that it is just to let me open the coffin at the end?

I still said the same sentence to Zhou Daochang: "The coffin can't be opened." ”

Daoist Zhou didn't force me, but spread his hands and said, "Okay, since you don't want to open it, then let's go find the murderer who really killed your village." ”

I asked where to look? Who to look for.

Zhou Daochang pointed in the direction of the back of the village: "Find the other two male zombies first, and then go to find your grandfather!" ”

Two other male zombies? Can you still find grandpa?

Zhou Daochang nodded, "Well, while they have just turned into zombies, we can still deal with it, if it is a long time in the world, zombies will change, as for your grandfather, he should still be under the Yin Spring, while it is still early in the world, we have to act quickly." ”

I nervously asked, "Is Grandpa still alive?" ”

Zhou Daochang groaned and said, "I also hope that he is alive, okay, just look for it later." ”

After that, Zhou Daochang signaled me not to ask more, and hurried to the back of the village.

However, before going, Zhou Daochang first walked around our village and found a local dog to lead.

I asked him what he was doing with a dog, and Zhou Daochang asked me: "Don't you think it's strange, there was such a big incident last night, and we didn't even hear the dog bark." ”

It was only when I heard him say this that I realized, yes, there are a lot of dogs in our village, but these days, all the dogs are like dumb, and there is not a single bark.

Zhou Daochang explained that he was not afraid of ghosts, but he was afraid of zombies, so he took the dog and waited to see that the dog was even more afraid there, and he knew that the zombies were hiding there.

As we spoke, we came to the grove behind the village, and when we reached the bottom of a large willow tree, the earth dog suddenly reacted.
