After appeasing Zhang Liuye, she looked up at us and said, "Are you from the district to visit?" I said that Zhang Liuye is like this, if there are conditions, it is best to be arranged to enter a nursing home, so that our neighbors can occasionally help, and it is impossible to watch people all the time. He is insane, and he may be lost alone one day, and he will not be able to find it. ”

"Insane?" I exclaimed, "You said that Zhang Liuye has a bad brain?" He had been talking to me for a while, and he didn't show any signs of abnormality at all. ”

The woman sighed and shook her head, "Ask him where his son and daughter have gone?" ”

I hesitated to get a pen to write a question, the woman said no, leaned into Zhang Liuye's ear and opened her voice and yelled, which shook my eardrums and hurt, but Zhang Liuye blinked and said with a relieved face: "They have set up a factory, they are busy, and they called back yesterday to say that they want to take me to the city." ”

The woman seemed to be unable to bear to turn her head, and her expression showed pity, "In this room, there is not even a TV except for the electricity and lights, and there is also a telephone." Five years ago, his son and daughter collided with a muck truck on their way back from driving, and they ...... Since then, the sixth master has been crazy, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, always looking forward to his son and daughter coming back to pick him up and live a good life. ”

After hearing this, I didn't know how to react except shocked, and Sheng Shiyao also confirmed that there was indeed no telephone in this house, and it was barren and not like a place for people to live. In the end, I learned from the woman's account that she was taken care of by the team leader and asked her to take care of Zhang Liuye, a lonely old man, so she would come to see her every day. From her accent, she didn't look like a local, and when she asked, she was surprised to find that most of the residents in the village who had no self were foreign tenants.

After retreating to my old house, I asked Sheng Shiyao, "What do you think?" ”

The woman also said that Zhang Liuye was crazy, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, so what he said before was not necessarily gibberish. It's just that the whole village residents have become outsiders, even if it is closed and backward, it is impossible for there to be no local residents left, and there must have been something special in the village. ”

"Something special? What do you mean......"

"On the bright side, there is a high possibility of demolition and resettlement; On the worse side, the dead are even haunted, and the chickens and dogs are restless, causing entire villages to move. ”

Demolition and resettlement? The house is still there, and there is no word on it, and according to the woman, she has lived in the village for more than ten years, how can there be a demolition and demolition of the house for ten years without touching a single bit?

Sheng Shiyao hooked the corners of his mouth lightly, and said in a shallow voice: "This statement is only a nominal general term, the excuse can be to rectify and build an industrial park, or it can be to retain the style of old houses as a scenic spot, etc., as long as a certain leader promises how many houses to give to each family after demolition, and how much supply money can be taken every year during the period when the house is not taken, basically there is no one for the residents not to leave." ”

I was shocked, was he talking about the demolition process? But looking at his shallow sneer, he understood what he meant, and he wanted to say that someone pretended to be a "leader" to lure the villagers into leaving the village. However, I always feel that this possibility is not high, because not only the project is huge, but also the procedures are also very troublesome, and the cost of the later stage will be very considerable.

"Tiny, you've got the key." Sheng Shiyao praised his face, "This kind of demolition and resettlement has a big drawback - trouble, the procedures here are cumbersome, and I dare not guarantee that everyone in this village understands, but there are always one or two young people who know things and will come out to raise the bar theory." And you have to pay a lot in terms of financial resources, and you have to lie again, so it is not advisable. On the contrary, the latter method is the most once and for all, after the dead are haunted, the village is unpeaceful, no one dares to live in it, they move out one after another, and they feel sorry for the empty old house, so they rent it to outsiders. Of course, the same caliber will not say to the outside world that this village has been haunted by dead people. ”

Well, he went around in a big circle, in fact, affirming the latter case. I pointed to the next room, "What did the sixth master say?" Isn't he still here? ”

"That's why his son and daughter died."

My heart was shocked, and my eyes widened in disbelief and I asked, "Are you saying that the death of his children has something to do with this?" ”

Sheng Shiyao sneered and said: "All the villagers left obediently, but this old man Zhang refused to leave, and he was still the neighbor next door to the family, so he could only be ruthless, and in the end, the old man Zhang went crazy and no longer became an obstacle, but he still didn't feel at ease, and he explained to the woman that he had to come over once a day." ”

Hearing this, my face changed, "You mean this conspiracy has something to do with our family?" Be...... Aunt May did it? ”

"It's not necessarily her, she doesn't have the means to make the whole village scared and leave, and she is a familiar face in the village, so it's inconvenient to do things. Don't forget, she still has 'above'. ”

Even if it's not Aunt Mei, this thing is too shocking, even terrifying, not to mention the haunting of the dead, Zhang Liuye's three children are three lives, and they are actually so careless in order to seek the purpose.

Wait, that woman came to take care of her in name, but in fact she came to spy on Zhang Liuye, so ...... Hasn't this already been reported to us? I raised my eyes in horror, and saw the same message in Sheng Shiyao's eyes, and at this moment I suddenly heard a sound from the back of the house, which came from the backyard, we opened the back door and walked out, and the sound was gone, but then I saw a paper ball flying from next door, and I stepped forward suspiciously, spread out the paper ball, and saw a big "go" word written on it.

At this time, a woman's voice came from next door: "Oh, Sixth Master, why did you run to the backyard to lie down alone?" It's not a bed, it's on the ground. Really, who is crazy if such an old man is not crazy? The muttering gradually faded, and it should have helped someone into the house.

I pinched the paper ball, turned around and ran back to the back room, put on my backpack and said to Sheng Shiyao, "Quick, let's go quickly." But he raised his eyebrows unhurriedly and asked, "Where are you going?" I replied, of course, "Naturally, I should leave the village immediately." ”

Sheng Shiyao grabbed my hand, went to the backyard wall, held my waist and sent me to the wall, and then he climbed up. The courtyard wall is neither high nor low, more than two meters, but for him, it is very easy. Soon the two of them turned over to the courtyard wall, but did not flee in a panic, but went back to the side of the front door, and found a twin towers that car was parked at the door of my old house, and two strange middle-aged people came down, and the woman who was standing at the door of Zhang Liuye's house greeted her, talking enthusiastically about something, and pointing to my old house from time to time.

The lock on the door had been picked open the night before, so they pushed it open and walked in without much effort. Sheng Shiyao pulled me, walked briskly to the ridge of the field, walked for a while, looked back at the old house was already far away, and the field was planted with vegetables like cucumbers, all supported by bamboo poles, so our figure was blocked.

Then I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why do you want to go to the fields instead of running out of the village?" And it's just two people who came, and we're two of us, so it should be easy to deal with. ”

But Sheng Shiyao, who was walking in front of him, snorted softly: "Are you sure that there are only two of them?" If they came so quickly, there must have been someone left behind in the town, so when they entered the village, they must have set up a defense at the entrance of the village. Don't underestimate those two people, they have a very strong evil aura on them, and they are all from the Xuanmen. Don't talk about you, I'm not sure, and it's hard to get out of the village and come back. ”

"Huh? Why do we want to come back? I asked curiously.

He paused and turned to look at me, "Aren't you curious about Sixth Master Zhang?" ”

Uh, I didn't think much about it when time was pressed just now, the paper ball in my hand was still in my hand, I spread it out again, although the writing was sloppy but the handwriting was powerful, I could roughly guess that Zhang Liuye was not crazy, he was probably pretending to be crazy and stupid. Maybe his ears weren't actually deaf, but he deliberately pretended to be deaf when he saw two of us strangers. Later, I learned from the words I wrote that I was the little girl who got married next door, and he didn't believe it at first, and deliberately pointed out that Aunt Mei was my grandmother's daughter.

Later, when I saw that my expression was sincere, sometimes I forgot to write and blurted out to ask, only to believe that I was A Xiao who had a family. In this way, the incident about my grandmother is true. He might have wanted to speed us up for something, but the woman walked in and interrupted him, so he had to pretend to be delirious again. After such an analysis, it is really as Sheng Shiyao said, we still have to go to Zhang Liuye, he must know many things and did not have time to say it.

When Sheng Shiyao led me to my destination, I was surprised and asked, "Why did you come back here?" ”

He glanced back at me, "What?" Are you afraid? I looked around, the shadows of the trees, the grass growing to the knees, and the stone tablets scattered horizontally, and asked hesitantly, "You don't want us to stay here tonight, do you?" Seeing that he really nodded, black lines couldn't help but appear on his forehead, this is a cemetery, and it will inevitably make people feel cold at night.

That's right, we are back to that cemetery mound.

Sheng Shiyao said that this place is secluded and safe, and no one would have thought that we would not run out of the village, but run to this cemetery. In addition, since the mystery of grandma is difficult to solve for the time being, you might as well put it aside and check it from another direction, such as ...... Those three tombstones. As Zhang Liuye said, my grandmother was not inherited from this village for several generations, and the graves of the ancestors of the family were moved, and Zhang Liuye did not make it clear whether my grandmother came to the village alone or with her parents at that time.

Imagine that more than 70 years ago, it was unlikely that a single girl would come to the village to build a house, and the villagers would be excluded. But in the end, I really have to go back and ask Zhang Liuye. In addition, Zhang Liuye said that there was no one named He Yunlai in the whole village, but his grandmother built a monument for this person in the cemetery, and wondered, who could he be?

When Sheng Shiyao said his claim, I was stunned, stuttered and asked, "Dig ...... Grave digging? This...... All right? ”

"Why not? Don't all other families have to dig graves when they move their graves? ”

I swallowed my saliva and looked at the place where the tombstone was sent, and I couldn't help but winkle. It's scary enough to stay in the cemetery, and I have to dig up the earth and dig the grave, forgive me for not being so bold, just thinking about it makes my hairs stand on end. was about to persuade, but saw that Sheng Shiyao had already broken a thick branch and walked there, and hurriedly followed.

He ignored me, used a twig as a shovel, and began to dig up the earth, first digging the grave that He Yun. Because of its proximity to a large river, the soil is damp and can be easily excavated. But strangely, Sheng Shiyao dug down several feet, but did not find any coffin.
