Chapter 9: Blight

I looked at my phone at three o'clock in the morning, time was running out, I nodded busily, wrapped the brass box and the small compass in the silk of the bone sword, and put them outside. And An Laodao climbed out and poured the soil in the field into the soil hole with a leather shovel, and I pushed the soil to the innermost part and compacted it to fill the soil hole.

We were busy until more than five o'clock in the morning, before filling in the soil hole, and cleaned up some traces, fortunately, the owner of this dry field seems to have dug the field yesterday, although there is a lot of fresh soil on it, but after all, it has just been dug up, so if you don't look carefully, you won't see anything unusual?

We held shovels with a sore back, and hurried back to the old house with An Laodao, seeing that the sky was already dark, but we were all relieved that we were not found.

I was hungry, and there were a lot of cold dishes in the refrigerator. An Lao Dao was so tired that he went directly to the bed in the back room to lie on his stomach, so I had to stay up and fight with my eyelids, steam the food, and pull up An Lao Dao, who was already sleeping soundly, wash up a little, eat, and then lie on the bed, sleep with my head covered, and don't think about anything.

When I woke up, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, sitting on the bed, I felt a little sore all over, but I couldn't help but take the brass box and small compass at the head of the bed and look at it, but unfortunately, I really couldn't understand these, just press them under the pillow, and when I got outside the house, I saw that An Laodao had woken up, in the courtyard, leisurely playing Tai Chi.

I had the heart to squeeze him and said, "It's been afternoon, you actually have the heart to box, are you really crazy?" ”

An Laodao ignored me and continued to play Tai Chi.

I went to cook again, but I was really unenergetic after a busy night last night, and I heated up the leftovers in the refrigerator again, and when I was eating, I made An Laodao complain.

I can't help but want to scold him, some of them still hate this and that? What an old immortal! However, I am actually very grateful to him in my heart, if it wasn't for his help last night, I would have been tricked, and I must have been half-dead by that yin qi, and I was a little scared when I thought about it, so I said: "Let's put some stomach first, wait a while, I'll go to the village commissary, buy some good things, and in the evening, let's have two drinks!" ”

An Laodao said: "I've been disturbed here for two days, and it's not good to stay, right?" ”

I snorted, squirted out the leftovers in my mouth, and laughed: "An Lao Dao, An Lao Dao, why didn't I find out that you have become a girl?" What is your relationship with my grandfather? Even if I provide for you, wouldn't it be too much? If you come with me like this, are you going to dissociate yourself from me when my grandfather is gone? ”

An Laodao was so angry that I blew his beard and glared, and knocked on my head with chopsticks: "It's not big, it's not small!" Don't you know that I am a miserable life in the game world? Stay here, eat and sleep every day, and spoil the old way, what should I do? Are you responsible? ”

I smiled and nodded: "I'm responsible!" ”

Actually, the reason why I kept An Lao Dao was for another reason, when my grandfather was dying, he told me that he wanted me to stay for seven days, that is, after seven days, my grandfather was afraid that he would return to his soul, that is, to return to the soul night. And the seven days are the first seven days after death, and if you count the time, today is the fifth day, that is, the night after tomorrow. Grandpa wants to see me. That's a ghost, although I'm seeing a ghost now, but I really don't have a lot of courage, so I have more courage to pull someone to accompany me in this old mansion.

After the meal, An Laodao was reluctant to go out, saying that he was tired, so he drank tea and rested in the yard.

When I went out, I walked towards the commissary at the entrance of the village, but within a few minutes of walking to the village road, I saw the place where the feng shui tree at the entrance of the village was surrounded by many villagers, who seemed to be arguing about something. I muttered in my heart, but I still stubbornly walked up.

When I was more than ten meters away, I saw the feng shui tree and was taken aback.

This feng shui tree, also known as the dragon's blood tree, when I looked at it yesterday, had clusters of turquoise flat needles on a dozen of its arm-thick branches, but now the needles on the outer part of those flat needles are half yellow, and some of the needles have fallen from the tree.

I walked more than ten meters next to the feng shui tree, and I saw several yellow leaves falling, and muttered in my heart, could it be that the feng shui tree began to decay caused by last night's incident?

The villagers surrounded the feng shui tree, but they were all a little taboo, the circle was a little big, they were talking about this feng shui tree, their faces were very ugly, I don't know what happened to the feng shui tree? It's starting to turn yellow? Not much, should it be in accelerated aging?

As I walked over, I heard the villagers saying in horror that the feng shui tree was bleeding, and when I leaned over to look, I saw that some of the bark of the feng shui tree was flowing scarlet slurry, which seemed to be due to the bursting between the bark.

However, the villagers regarded this feng shui tree as the spiritual pillar of the whole village, and saw that it had withered inexplicably, and now there was blood in many places. At this time, some villagers shouted angrily at Village Chief Li: "Village Chief, how can the Feng Shui Tree bleed and wither? Did you let the Ning family master bury him early, which angered the feng shui tree? ”

The villagers went crazy when they heard this, and they all surrounded Village Chief Li, almost roaring and asking questions, which startled Village Chief Li.

Village Chief Li knew that the villagers were very taboo about the profession of the Ning family, and even if he died, the villagers would deal with it carefully. However, Ning Tianze was supposed to be buried on the seventh day, but because his daughter was going to get married, he secretly stuffed some money to the chief of the money and asked him to convince my father. I didn't expect that when I was buried, there were ghosts, and now even the feng shui tree is weird, even if it withers, it even bleeds, I have long muttered in my heart, and I was coaxed by the villagers, my face turned white all of a sudden, and I almost sat on the ground.

He actually doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but this feng shui tree has been in the village for decades, and it has been blessed with peace and security, and there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters. He couldn't argue with a hundred mouths, but he still raised some of the village chief's majesty on weekdays, and when he was provoked by these villagers, he roared angrily: "What are you all doing here?" "The villagers were scared to speak.

When Village Chief Li saw it, he suddenly became energetic: "The burial of the old man of the Ning family, Daoist Qian has already calculated, and it is not a broken day." As for the funeral process, something unusual happened. I heard Daoist Qian say, it's not a ghost, it's just the wind, and don't forget what the master of the Ning family used to do? Doesn't the village chief feel strange that there are any visions in him? ”
