My third uncle may have been afraid of my young age, so he didn't dare to pull me in, but stood at the door, watched the monk walk around the house a few times, and soon walked out again.

"How?" My third uncle asked immediately.

"The yin qi is very heavy, but in broad daylight, I don't dare to show any ghosts and the like, wait for me to stay for another night in the evening!"

I looked at my third uncle with a biased face, feeling as if he had something to say, but in the end he nodded: "Okay, I'll come with you at night!" ”

The two adults decided to do so, and I, a child, naturally had no room for interjection.

So what happened that night, I don't know.

- Later, I asked my third uncle, but my third uncle said that nothing happened that night, and the two of them did not hear any strange noises all night. Therefore, his senior brother had no choice but to use Buddha incense to dye and drive away evil spirits all over the courtyard early the next morning, hoping that no strange things would happen in the future.

The next day, my third uncle sent the monk away, and he didn't pay attention to the matter.

And I'm a child, and it's impossible for me to take such a thing to heart.

Unexpectedly, after only two days of silence, my third uncle suddenly began to have nightmares.

And this nightmare seems to be contagious, the first two nights were just my third uncle was awakened by nightmares several times in a row, and on the third night, Yang Hu, who slept in the same bed with me, also screamed in the middle of the night.

I was awakened by his screams, and the sight of his dark figure sitting on the bed scared me too.

Eventually, my dad interrogated Yang Hu and my third uncle, and then I learned that both of them had been to my aunt's old house, and even I had followed Yang Hu.

My dad didn't dare to slack off at this time, and immediately went to discuss it with my uncle.

Early the next morning, my uncle went to Osan Town and invited a Taoist priest to come over that afternoon.

But I was still young at that time, and it was impossible for the adults to let me go to the old house to see how the Taoist priests exorcised evil spirits.

It was only later that I was asked about my third uncle, and my third uncle told me that the Taoist priest first walked around the house, and then went around the outside of the courtyard wall, and then said that the problem was not in the house, but in the old elm tree.

Because my uncle was also there at the time, it was inevitable that the Taoist priest was asked if it was because Ma Decheng buried the baby's body under the old elm tree in the past.

The Taoist priest was mysterious and refused to say much, only saying that he could not solve this evil spirit, and if he wanted to have no more problems in the future, he would never go to this old house again.

Later, the Taoist priest also came to my house, at least in my eyes, he was dressed like a costume knight in movies and television.

I remember that the Taoist priest once said that my Yintang shines, not only when I am young, there is no disease and no disaster, but I can do great things when I become an adult.

Obviously, the Taoist priest was flattering my parents, but he still made my parents so happy that they went to the big hotel to invite the Taoist priest to have a good banquet, and also bought a lot of offerings to invite the Taoist priest to take back to the Taoist temple.

However, the Taoist priest does seem to have some skills, because since the Taoist priest left, my third uncle and Yang Hu have not had nightmares again.

After that, as bold as my third uncle, he never dared to walk past that old house.

Later, Laopo Village was finally developed, and the small hill behind Laopo Village became the main part of the largest amusement park in Linnan City.

My aunt's old house is gone, but the old elm tree has been preserved and has become a feature of the park.

According to experts, this old elm tree is more than 300 years old, which can be said to be very rare among the angiosperm species that do not live long.

And the strange things I experienced about the old house when I was a child gradually became a vague memory. Whether there are really ghosts and gods among them, even a few adults who have experienced it themselves are secretive and uncertain.

It wasn't until many years later, when I became a full member of the "Paranormal Case Investigation Alliance", that I experienced a strange thing that I was able to rediscover the past from my childhood.

That strange thing happened in a remote mountain village in a western province.

The village was called Gaopo Village, so named because the whole village was built on a steep hillside.

In the early years, the villagers of Gaopo Village basically relied on crops in the mountains around the village to survive.

In addition, young and middle-aged men will go to the surrounding mountains to hunt wild animals and collect mountain treasures to supplement their families.

Like the elderly, weak women and children, they often stay in the village for years, or even more than ten years, and are not allowed to go out.

It was not until the whole country launched a poverty alleviation campaign and all the villagers of Gaopo Village were relocated to the bottom of the mountain, that the villagers of Gaopo Village gradually lived a prosperous life.

Unexpectedly, six years after the villagers of Gaopo Village moved to the bottom of the mountain, that is, a month before I learned about this strange incident, only half a month, people in the village ran away from home and disappeared.

There is also an elderly man with limited mobility who committed suicide in his own home.

The old man committed suicide in a very peculiar way, because he was too weak to go up to a high place, so he tied a rope to a hook that he could reach, and then put his neck into the rope, and then overturned the seat with his hands.

The rope was so thin that it almost broke the old man's neck.

Many people say that the old man must have committed suicide because his son and daughter-in-law ran away from home at the same time and couldn't bear such a blow.

But the police don't think it's that simple.

So the police still conducted a detailed investigation of the scene and came to the conclusion that the old man did hang himself on the hook.

The old man also had a great-granddaughter who had just entered elementary school, and he didn't know what he saw on the day of the incident, and he was completely stupid with fright, and he didn't say anything when he asked her, but he just opened his mouth and trembled.

The old man's grandchildren, who were all working in other places, rushed back when they heard the news and unanimously asked the police to find their lost parents as soon as possible.

In fact, those who ran away from home were not rebellious young people, but all of them had children and daughters. The oldest couple, in their fifties, is the son and daughter-in-law of the old man who committed suicide.

However, after careful investigation, the police could not find any trace of the escapee.

Soon the news reached my ears, and I immediately realized that this was probably another case of supernatural nature, so I immediately rushed to the village of Kopo to investigate.

I didn't go directly to the police to find out the situation, after all, the "Paranormal Case Investigation Alliance" is not an official organization, and it is better not to alarm the police unless it is necessary.

I first approached the head of Gaopo Village and asked him to take me to the home of the elderly man who committed suicide.

The old man was nearly eighty years old, and he was one of the more prestigious old men in the village. He had been the head of the village of Gaopo, and his son had succeeded him.

However, after Gaopo Village was relocated to the outside of the mountain, after the selection of the villagers, the position of village chief of the old man's son has been replaced by a younger and educated man.

This man, surnamed Zhang, also showed great enthusiasm for me after seeing that my document had several languages on it.

He even grabbed my hand and said, "Comrade, you have to hurry!" It's been nearly a month since the first two villagers went missing, and if it drags on, I'm afraid it's hard to know if they live or die! ”

I believe that the continuous loss of those adults is a very strange thing in itself. However, I still wanted to go to the suicide old man's house first, and the village chief did not object, so he personally led me to the suicide old man's house.

On the way, the village chief helped me introduce the situation in the village.

It turned out that there were only about 100 households in this village, with more than 400 people.

There are basically only three surnames in the village, which are Niu, Zhang, and Nie according to the population.

In addition, there are more than a dozen other surnames, all of which moved in with relatives from the village.

The old man who committed suicide was the elder surnamed Niu, because he had been the village chief for decades, so until now the villagers still respect him as the old village chief.

The old village chief has a son and two daughters, and the two daughters have married outside the mountain in the early years, because it is not easy to go into the mountain, and they are not diligent in moving around each other, so they are not very close to each other now.

The only son married a girl from the village, and the couple had a son and a daughter. His son gave birth to another daughter, who is now seven years old.

At that time, when the old village chief committed suicide, his son and daughter-in-law had been lost, and his grandchildren had not yet returned from working outside, so there was only a seven-year-old great-granddaughter at home.

It was the screams of this great-granddaughter that alarmed the neighbors left and right, and only then did they find out that the old village chief had committed suicide.

When I followed Village Chief Zhang to the old village chief's house, the old village chief's grandchildren were not at home.

According to village chief Zhang, the family members of the lost population are running around every day to find their relatives, and eighty percent of the grandchildren of the old village chief have gone out to look for their parents.

The granddaughter-in-law of the old village chief received us, she is a girl surnamed Nie in the village, with a single name and a color character.

Accompanied by Village Chief Zhang and Nie Cai, I first took a look at the scene of the old village chief's suicide.

Because the entire Gaopo village has moved out of the mountain and has been housed in government-funded resettlement houses, every household does not have a separate yard, but is neatly arranged in two rows along a wide cement passageway.

Basically, every house has two large bedrooms and a large living room.

If you have a large population, you can change two large bedrooms into several smaller bedrooms on your own.

The old village chief's family had a large population, so the two large bedrooms were separated from them and changed to four small bedrooms.

Among them, the old village chief lived alone in a small bedroom.

However, the place where the old village chief committed suicide was not in his bedroom, but in the guest hall.

There was an iron hook installed in the living room, and I pulled it with my hand, and found that the hook was very strong and could fully bear the weight of an old man.

"At that time, this iron hook was originally installed to facilitate hanging things, who would have thought...... This happened! Nie Cai said.

I think the old village chief is almost eighty years old, and his actions are not very convenient, Nie Cai, as his granddaughter-in-law, is afraid that he may not have much affection for this old man, and maybe he wishes that the old man died early.

It's just that in front of outsiders, Nie Cai still pretended to wipe a wipe of his eyes that were not rosy.
