Tang Yuan's words startled me.

But I soon came back to my senses and asked if she was teasing me.

Tang Yuan looked at me with clear eyes, and even said a little angrily: "Seventh Grandpa is a respected elder in the village, how dare I make a joke about him, besides, when Seventh Grandpa died, I also attended his funeral, and then went to the company to apply for a job." ”

Tang Yuan's appearance is not like a joke.

So I realized that something was wrong.

I told Tang Yuan about the dress of the watchman last night.

Tang Yuan said in surprise; "Do you know Grandpa Seven? How is this possible, Grandpa Seven has never been out of the ancient city of Nanxiang in his life. ”

My body trembled slightly and said, "I saw it last night..."

After saying this, I somehow fainted as soon as it was dark in front of my eyes.

When I woke up again, I saw the sun outside, and it was already noon.

Tang Yuan was crying in the house.

Her parents were also a little anxious.

I opened my mouth to speak, but I felt like my mouth was full of stuff.

After getting up, I opened my mouth and spit out, and found that there were a lot of branches and weeds in my mouth ...

"Manager, are you awake? This is the herb that Lang Zhong has prepared for you, you can hold it for a while. ”

Herbs?

I frowned slightly, and spat out the grass and branches in my mouth.

"Am I sick? Why don't you take me to the hospital, what disease can this branch cure..."

Tang Yuan was a little frustrated when he heard this: "Manager, since I was a child, I have eaten herbs in the mountains to cure diseases... And... Now the mountains are covered with heavy snow outside, and I can't get out for ten days and half a month. ”

I'm a little skeptical.

After trying to see if I was okay, I got out of bed and went out to see.

Before I could get outside, I saw through the fence gate that the snow outside was almost more than a meter deep.

Don't talk about going out, you can't even open the fence gate.

It's the first time I've seen such a big snowfall.

"Although it is snowing, you don't have to worry, manager, my family has a good harvest this year, and the surplus grain is enough to survive this winter."

Spend a winter in this ravine?

That doesn't suffocate me...

No, no matter what happens, I'm going to get out of here.

But before I could speak, my stomach rolled up and down, and with a whoa, I spit out a mouthful of blood, and my eyes flickered, my body weakened for a while, and I lay down again.

This time I opened my eyes very quickly.

Lang Zhong, who prescribed medicine to me, was also invited.

They were muttering something around the charcoal fire.

"Old Tang, I just took the pulse, this baby's kidney yang is overdrawn, her body is weak, and she is stained with dirty things, so she will live well in a few days."

As soon as I heard this, I was anxious.

Lao Tzu's golden gun doesn't defeat the little overlord, why is it empty? Isn't that a slap in the face?

"You bad old man, who do you say..."Before I could scold the next scolding, I vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Doll, you have a few days to live, but you are so energetic, I guess you won't be able to survive today." In the countryside, blowing nonsense.

"You hillbilly knows a fart, I don't believe in your medical skills, I want to go back to the city." After saying this, I almost felt that I had used all my strength, and I couldn't move on the bed, so I could only look at him with my eyes.

"Xiao Wu, don't be angry, Tang Yuan went down the mountain in the snow to ask for help, and when he finds the forklift and digs the mountain road, he will send you to the big hospital, what do you think?"

Tang Yuan's father said this like a personal word.

"Brother, I'm just such a son-in-law, and I'm still from the city, you have to think about what you say, show us." As he spoke, Tang Yuan's father spread out a piece of coarse cloth and revealed a handful of banknotes from it, the money was crumpled and crowded, and it seemed that he had saved up for a long time and was reluctant to spend it.

Na Langzhong pushed it away and held his head high: "Tang Yuan's father, if you don't give money, I will cure this disease if it can be cured, and then you think about it, the ancient emperor, who is addicted to the harem all day long, who is not followed by a large group of imperial doctors?" Aren't they all all dying young? ”

After saying this, Tang Yuan's father was completely dumbfounded.

I was also stunned by what this bad old man said.

Could it be that Lao Tzu really planted it this time? And the reason is that you were overindulged before?

It can't be, I'm going to be hollowed out two or three times a day at most?

"You just said I was evil... That's why you're sick, isn't it? I asked cheekily, and at the same time, I remembered the older man I had seen last night.

"This is true, I see that your face is dark, your pulse is weak and thin like a gossamer, and nine times out of ten it is because of internal diseases caused by evil spirits."

"Okay, you don't need to treat internal diseases, there are many men's hospitals outside, as long as I go out, Lao Tzu will soon be a good man, and you can get the evil thing done."

I don't think there's anything wrong with my body, and the reason why I get this strange disease is because of the evil spirit, that is, the bad old man who played last night.

"You let me cure a headache and foot pain, that's okay, the evil thing, you have to find the seventh uncle, but you are not coincidentally sick, the seventh uncle has returned to the west a few days ago." Lang Zhong said with some regret.

"The seventh uncle you are talking about, is it the last watchman in the ancient city?" I asked.

Tang Yuan's father and Lang Zhong both nodded noncommittally.

"Don't mention him, I went out for a walk last night, and it was the old man who made me like this." I was a little angry, and after saying this, I vomited another mouthful of blood.

They were both taken aback by what I said.

Lang Zhong stood up directly, and said with a panicked expression: "Could it be that ... When the seventh uncle left, what he said was true..."

What Lang Zhong said was inexplicable, and Tang Yuan's father and I were a little puzzled.

Tang Yuan's father asked, "Brother, what do you mean, what did Uncle Qi say when he left?" ”

Lang Zhong settled down and talked about the events of that day.

Uncle Qi is a bachelor.

According to rumors, eight brothers from the seven uncles, the six elder brothers in the front, five died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and one died in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Because of his young age, the seventh uncle did not join the army, and followed his father to fight.

When Qibo was a teenager, his mother gave birth to a younger brother for him.

However, when the younger brother was less than three years old, he was abducted by traffickers.

Uncle Qi's mother didn't come up in one breath, and she was angry.

His father went down the mountain to find his brother, and after that, he never returned.

Uncle Qi's good family became ruined.

In this way, seven dozen uncles have fought all their lives, and they have never married a daughter-in-law and a cub.

Over time, everyone even has to forget the past of Qibo.

Until the day of the death of the seventh uncle.

He probably knew that his life was short, so he called Lang Zhong to his side, saying that he still had a younger brother, and he would go home after the New Year, and when the time came, let his younger brother or heir inherit the identity of the Wu family.

After saying that, he died with a whimper.

Lang Zhong who heard this.

I just think that Qi Bo is back to the light and said foolish things, and he didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until today, when I heard me talk about the seventh uncle, that he remembered this stubble.

Tang Yuan's father has no culture, and he believes in this kind of evil thing.

I thought it was quite inhibitive at first, but I quickly scoffed.

"You can pull it down, Lao Tzu is the rich second generation, and my father is the president of the group, how can he be right."

I will not believe such baseless nonsense.

But this Lang Zhong is like being beaten with chicken blood.

He continued: "Baby, in this ancient city of Nanxiang, thousands of people come every day, why can't others meet the soul of the seventh uncle, but you can meet it?" ”

I hesitated: "You are stupid, no one else stayed here, so I stayed by myself." ”

Seeing that my attitude was very tough, Lang Zhong shook his head, didn't raise the bar with me, got up and left.

Tang Yuan's father was busy sending him off.

Until dark.

I didn't hear anything about the forklift going up the mountain, during which I vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, ate and vomited, and became even weaker.

At night, I was tortured and passed out in a coma.

I don't know what time it is.

I was dazed, and I heard the sound of dang-dang-dang again.

And the sound is getting closer.

A familiar figure appeared in front of me.

This is the one I met yesterday!

"Do you still dare to come out? You're dead, why do you want to hurt me. ”

The watchman is still the same as last night, with a blank face.

"Baby, you are the son of my eighth brother Wu You, that is, my nephew, so the identity of our Wu family can only be inherited by you. Here's to you..."

As he spoke, the old man shoved the gong and lantern into my hand.

"You can pull it down, it's enough for you to be my grandfather at this age, how can I have an uncle as big as you, I don't belong to your family at all, you recognize the wrong person."

I said I wouldn't take anything from him.

The old man was not annoyed.

When—when—the weather is dry, fire and theft...

He turned and walked away.

I wish he would disappear from my eyes as soon as possible.

But I was wicked because of him, and I wanted him to cure me.

"Old man..."

I'm not done.

He quickly turned his head, squinted his eyes and said, "Baby... You have too many good fortunes for your pastime, too many girls you have played, and too many causes and effects involved, I am afraid that you will die and cut off the blood of the Wu family, so I refuse to leave... Now you've killed Tang Yuan again... My nephew, do you really want to die? ”

For some reason, when he spoke, his voice whimpered and was extremely scary, which gave me goosebumps all over my body.

I grabbed the pillow and threw it at the old man.

"Get out of here! Get out! I couldn't stand his voice and yelled.

But as soon as he scolded, he fainted again.

In the dark, I felt a strong pull on me, pulling me down.

I struggled desperately, yelling and screaming.

Until I was woken up by a cry of screaming.

The crying came from outside the house.

The people who cried were Tang Yuan's parents.

As I forced myself out of bed, I saw a snowman outside on the door frame.

A frozen woman, to be exact.

This woman is none other than Tang Yuan...

It's just that the soup edge at this time is frozen firmly, like an ice sculpture...

Tang Yuan died, could it be true that what the watchman said was true, Tang Yuan died because of my cause and effect?

Moreover, the watchman said that his eighth brother was called Wu You, and my father was also called Wu You.
