After we helped the ice coffin into the house, Ergou was in a hurry to go back, I glanced at Ergou, I don't know if it was an illusion or what the reason was, I always felt that there was something wrong with Ergou, plus what happened to Ergou on the road, I always felt that things were not so simple tonight.

After the ice coffin was put away, I had to call Lin Lao to help carry Granny Wang into the ice coffin, fortunately, Granny Wang was not too heavy, everything was going well, not that I had to ask Lin Lao to help, I was just afraid that the people in the village would find out Granny Wang's abnormality, and after I was busy, I kept wondering who was going to take Ergou's car? I don't believe that any girl dares to take a hearse, besides, why do you want to get off at the entrance of the village?

At this time, how much I hope that Ma Laodao is here, if he is here, I think all the problems will be solved, shook my head, I myself know that there are some problems even if I want to break my head will not be figured out, it is simply better to come to the soldiers to block the water to cover the earth, take one step at a time.

After everything was ready, I asked Li Changgui to arrange some people to play cards at Granny Wang's house and keep vigil by the way, and I also told Li Changgui privately that Granny Wang could no longer be placed at home, and she had to be buried as soon as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Lin Lao wanted to take his students back, and I always felt that tonight would not be so peaceful, so I tactfully retained Lin Lao, Lin Lao was not ambiguous, and agreed to my request after a little consideration, and didn't ask anything, but Xiao Ding was a little unhappy, and kept muttering in his mouth, but I didn't pay attention to him, when I turned to look at Xiaoxue, I always felt that something had been forgotten, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't figure out where I had forgotten.

Xiao Xue saw that I looked at her a little dullly, and immediately lowered her head shyly, Xiao Ding would yell at me with some jealousy: "What are you looking at? Do you deserve it too? ”

Lin Lao also saw my abnormality, squirmed his mouth and didn't say anything, just glared at Xiao Ding, I was yelled at by Xiao Ding, and immediately came back to my senses, this will I look at Xiao Ding again and find that his forehead is a little gray, I didn't say anything when I saw this, I knew that what I said would only get Xiao Ding's cynicism, so it was better to do something practical.

I found the cinnabar and yellow paper that had been prepared, and drew a talisman to ward off evil spirits according to the talisman in the note, and after I finished drawing, I came to Lin Lao and whispered to Lin Lao: "Lin Lao, you give this to Xiao Ding, I think there is something wrong with him, I am afraid that he will be tricked tonight." ”

Lin Lao took my talisman and looked at it for a while, then asked me in a low voice: "Guoqiang, I think your talisman is very good, but I always feel as if something is missing, is it because of my layman?" ”

After hearing Lin Lao's words, I sincerely felt admiration from the bottom of my heart, and I didn't hide from Lin Lao and said to him: "Lin Lao is really well-informed, I do have something missing in this talisman, but my master did not pass it on to me, it is missing a Taoist treasure seal, so it is very physically exhausting when the edict is made, and he really can't exert his power without a certain Taoism." ”

After Lin Lao heard my words, he stroked his gray beard and asked a little nervously, "Then can you keep Xiao Ding without the treasure seal?" ”

I looked at Xiao Ding sideways, to be honest, I don't know if this charm works or not, although I hate Xiao Ding very much now, but I don't want to see death without help, I don't want to perfunctory him when I look at Lin Lao's expectant eyes, after all, Lin Lao is still very good to me, after a little consideration, I still said to Lin Lao truthfully: "The general trivial matter is not a big problem, but if it is too tricky, I can only find another way." ”

Lin Lao weighed it for a while and continued to ask for my opinion, "What do you think, if we send Xiao Ding away?" ”

I shook my head and said to Lin Lao: "It's not that I haven't thought of this way, but I'm afraid that it will be more dangerous after he leaves, so it's better to stay here and maybe I can still take care of it." ”

Lin Lao didn't speak after listening to my words, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he walked to Xiao Ding and muttered in front of him, and after a while, Lin Lao stuffed my talisman to Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding was very resistant and threw the talisman out and said loudly to Lin Lao: "Teacher, why do you believe in this hillbilly so much?" ”

Lin Lao's face was flushed with anger by Xiao Ding's sudden move, and he didn't speak for a long time, and finally had to pick up the talisman on the ground angrily and throw himself out of the door.

Looking at the back of Lin Lao's departure, I was also very sad in my heart, I knew that this could not be blamed on Lin Lao, after all, as a leader in the archaeological field, it was really difficult for him to believe in superstition in front of his students. Xiao Ding saw that Lin Lao came to me and said to me provocatively: "Hillbilly, don't tell me like you, I'm Ding Chao here today, I want to see what kind of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods can do to me." ”

Seeing Xiao Ding's posture, I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, I just rolled my eyes and ignored him, Li Changgui heard the movement in the house, and he hurriedly walked in and asked me in a low voice: "What's the matter, Guoqiang?" ”

I waved my hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, everything is as usual, just find someone to take care of the oil lamp in front of Granny Wang's head later, don't let him go out." ”

When Li Changgui heard this, he nodded and went out to greet those who played cards and kept vigil, Granny Wang has no children and no daughters, Li Changgui, as the village head, must arrange everything, but when I think of Li Yan and Li Yang, my head is going to be big, and it is really a wave of unevenness.

It was about nine o'clock in the evening, and an anxious voice suddenly shouted outside: "Changgui, are you there?" ”

I didn't know why I went to take a look, and found that it was Wang Dafu, who was standing in front of Li Changgui and whispering something, Wang Dafu saw me, and hurriedly shouted to me anxiously: "Big nephew, I've been looking for you for a long time, this time you really have to save my Yan'er." ”

After hearing Wang Dafu's words, I was stunned for a moment, and after a few minutes, I remembered the prophecy of Ma Laodao eight years ago, but Ma Laodao said at the time that it would be five years at the earliest and ten years at the latest. How can everything happen at the same time all at once? Why is this old horse not there?

Wang Dafu saw that I didn't say anything for a long time, and I was so anxious that I almost cried, Li Changgui took a cigarette to Wang Dafu and said to him: "Dafu, you say slowly, if there is anything you can help, we will definitely help." ”

After Wang Dafu took Li Changgui's cigarette, he struck a match tremblingly, took two puffs of cigarette and eased his mood, and then said: "I don't know how to talk about this matter, now Yan'er is full of nonsense, the high fever does not go away, she does not eat, and the hospital can't find out what happened to Yan'er, but it is recommended that we transfer to the hospital. ”

Li Changgui saw that I still didn't say anything, and then asked, "What the hell is going on, you can make it clear." ”

Wang Dafu took two more puffs of cigarettes, snuffed out the cigarette butt and said to me: "Yesterday Yan'er was fine, but this morning when we called him to get up, how to call her just not wake up, my wife Chunhua touched Yan'er's forehead and found that she had a high fever, we didn't think about it, and immediately sent Yan'er to the hospital, but the doctor in the town looked at Yan'er for a long time and still didn't wake up, he couldn't say why, so he had to suggest that we transfer to the hospital, no way, we hurriedly transferred Yan'er to the county, and there was no result, this is not, Now if we are to move to the provincial capital, I am afraid that the same result will be the same. ”

"Is it just unconscious?" I interjected.

Wang Dafu saw me open his mouth and thought for a while, then said: "No, Yan'er woke up when she arrived in the county, but she was full of nonsense, and kept crying and telling us that her sister had come to pick her up, and he was leaving, so let us take care of ourselves." Are you saying this is something that an eight-year-old can say? ”

"Where's your dog?" I thought for a while and asked, I remember that Ma Laodao said that the flower dog was willing to help her stop the disaster.

"Not to mention that the dog I am not angry, the dog has not bitten anyone in the past few years, and now it is old, I wanted to raise it until it died, who knew that the dog was crazy this morning, in the morning when we sent Yan'er to the hospital, the dog kept barking, I held Yan'er just about to go out, the dog rushed over and bit me the leg, I was anxious, touched the hoe next to it and gave it a look, the dog was relieved of the pain, you see my leg just bandaged." After speaking, Wang Dafu lifted his trousers and pointed to the wound to show me.

Dogs don't bite people for no reason, let alone their own owners, besides, this dog has been raised for eight years, how to say that it has a little spirituality, looking at the injury on Wang Dafu's leg, I asked a little anxiously: "The dog was killed by you?" ”

Wang Dafu thought about it and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know, I was anxious at the time, it was quite heavy, but I just beat it with a wooden rake with a hoe, the dog fell to the ground and convulsed a few times after I knocked it, and I was not in the mood to care about its life or death, so I went to the hospital with Yan'er, but when I came back, there was only a pool of blood on the ground, and I didn't find where the dog was." ”

"Have you forgotten what my master said to you back then?"

"Oh, I just listened to Ma Daochang's words to raise the dog until now, otherwise it would have been sold a long time ago, the dog was very good when he was a child, but in the past few years, I don't know why the dog will go out every night, and it won't come back until noon the next day, didn't I hit it in a hurry?"

After Wang Dafu finished speaking, he then said to me: "Eldest nephew, can you still contact your master?" Or is there anything you can do to save Yan'er? ”

"I don't know where my master is, and I don't know what's going on at the moment, I have to see what is going on with your Wang Yan before I can decide, but I think it's better to find the dog first." I thought about it for a moment and said to Wang Dafu.

Just when we were talking, I found that Xiaoxue would come over with a blank look, if you want to say that there is something wrong with this Xiaoxue, I really can't say it for a while, I looked around, and suddenly found that I hadn't seen Xiaoding for a long time, I secretly muttered in my heart, it won't be so evil, right?
