Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Greenhead

Qin Zitao took his compass and put it in his pocket. He stood bored and lazy on the top of the hill and saw the morning mist dripping on the leaves. Qin Zitao asked Jian Du boredly: "What do you see?" Don't be crazy. ”

"I see." Jian Jue replied to him expressionlessly, Jian Jue, who didn't sleep well last night, was a little tired. His eyes couldn't be fully opened, and the whole person was a little dazed now. "Let's go, look at the other tombstones."

"Jane, he's really crazy." Qin Zitao looked at Jian Jie's shaky steps and said.

"Is he alright? Is it too stressful? Li Zhonglou asked.

Qin Zitao suddenly turned his head and asked Li Zhonglou, "Brother Li, you are also a person who has worked with Jian Du once, have you discovered Jian Du's personality traits?" ”

"He... Very serious, and active in investigating things. It's just that the last time it was inexplicable, because I was just trying to cope... The eldest lady of the family. Jian Jue himself felt that the matter was not over, but he didn't care about it that time. Li Zhonglou replied truthfully.

Qin Zitao laughed twice, but remembered something, his face changed suddenly, and it was rare for him to appear deep that did not match his age, "He... There is no clear investigation of the matter, and there is a psychological shadow. ”

Li Zhonglou asked softly: "Jian decided that he had taken orders before, did he fail?" ”

"He went ahead to a vicious residential building and miscalculated the investigation. There were several families in one building, but he overlooked one detail. The residents didn't know each other, so they couldn't count the number of people. is already a ghost who can only go out at night, and Jian Du is also regarded as a ghost. Obviously, it is the Rakshasa Array of the Earth Altar, and it is necessary to sacrifice seven people who are extremely yin, and they will be placed for forty-nine days to generate resentment. If you decide to go through the household registration book of the household, you will know. Qin Zitao paced and followed Jian Jie, keeping a certain distance, "He thought that he had finished binding the spirit of the earth and could go." By the time he reacted, the only living family in the building had died. I and the rest of the site rushed to deal with it and dug up seven old coffins in the ground of that building....... ”

Li Zhonglou nodded after listening, "Jian Jue is so young, he has no reason to expect anything." ”

"In fact, the next thing is beyond the scope of his acceptance, he was just hired by a nearby Tianya to do a live broadcast, and went to the murder house to check the dangerous situation." Although Qin Zitao said this, he shrugged helplessly, "But a dead person is still a child, and Jian Du has left a psychological shadow since then." He just wants to save people. After Qin Zitao finished the last sentence, he chased after him. Simply decided! Don't be crazy! Don't lie in front of someone's grave, you're smelling something like a dog! ”

Jian decided to get up and clamored to go to the neighboring village.

Qin Zitao couldn't and said to Li Zhonglou apologetically: "Brother Li, go back first, he's crazy." I accompanied him to the neighboring village,"

Jian Jue also said: "Forget it, I'll go and see for myself, it won't be delayed for too long." He put Li Zhonglou's shoulders on both sides and said, "Brother Li, you believe me, I have a leader!" I'll go check it out and get back soon. With that, he ran on his own, toward the village in the neighboring mountains.

Qin Zitao and Li Zhonglou would not let him act alone, so they followed.

When I arrived at the neighboring village, I asked the ghost bride's fiancΓ©, Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu has been in a bad mood these days, but seeing that Jian Jue is not repulsive, please come in and sit down. He shouted Li Yan to his sister, saying that his sister's life has been bad since she was a child, and she has many diseases, and he doesn't care. Jian Jue asked: "Is Li Yan's lunar birthday in early July?" ”

β€œ... Yes, Master Jane, you know that too? Xiao Liu didn't express surprise, he thought it was told by Li Yan's parents.

But Jian didn't plan to ask Li Yan's parents, he crossed his hands on the table, and suddenly stared at the empty place in the room. "I see."

Jian Jue walked out of the room, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and changed the oxygen to his brain.

"Although I can't find out the origin of the mountain god... But I took another employment order," Jian Jue's eyes became clear, "It is also a folk worship of a certain god, and I can't find it when I go to check the origin." Later, I learned that it was not a god at all, it was a water ghost, and some people misreported it, and the way of worship was also the way to suppress the water ghost every year. ”

Qin Zitao thought the idea was bold, "You mean, the mountain god is not a mountain god, but a mountain ghost?" ”

"But..., mountain ghosts are also gods." Li Zhonglou is talking about the Book of Songs.

"No, no, no, in other words," Qin Zitao stroked his chin and thought about it, "What if it's a green-headed ghost that is more than a hundred years old?" I have been to various places over the years, and there is a saying in the mountains that in the past, men who had a fortune had to take the mountain road to get married, and there were bandits who specially hijacked such people. Ordinary people will also give jewelry in order to break the fortune and eliminate disasters. But the bandit will not kill the groom, so he will become a greenhead. ”

Jian Jue grabbed Qin Zitao's collar and asked him closely: "What other details, you hurry up!" ”

"Stay away from me! You know that the term "green hat" is not green in the current sense, but that during the Ming Dynasty, there was a man who relied on his wife to sell himself to support himself, and when the emperor heard it, he was furious and gave him a green hat. Men with this sign are supported by their wives. The southern region will look down on the men who are in the ordinary people's wealth, and will think that the kind of men are green-headed. If you die before the newlywed, you are a greenhead. After Qin Zitao finished saying this, he thought that Jian Jue would praise him, and he was still complacent about his knowledge.

Unexpectedly, Jian Jue glared at Qin Zitao, grabbed Qin Zitao's collar and shook him vigorously, "Xiao Tao!" This clue! Why didn't you tell me sooner! You! Brain! What are you thinking! ”

Qin Zitao was angry and pushed Jian Du away, "You are inexplicable!" Do you believe that Lao Tzu beat you twice? ”

"Hurry up and find Xiao Yan's grave!" Jian Jue ran back to Xiao Liu's house to ask for the location of the grave, and Xiao Liu said that it was carried by a worker, and it was supposed to be buried in Xiao Liu's ancestral grave, but his parents were resolutely opposed. So it's still buried in the Li family. Because the village used to be very closed, half of the people in a village may be relatives.

Jian Jue returned with Qin Zitao and Li Zhonglou, this time Li Zhonglou couldn't help it, but seeing Jian Jue's anxious appearance, he still chose to believe Jian Jue.

Unexpectedly, Jian Jue borrowed a few big shovels from the farmers and asked Li Zhonglou to take Qin Zitao to dig up the grave.

"You're begging like crazy!" Qin Zitao held the shovel with both hands and was about to smash it on Jian Duan's head.

Jian Jue made a calm gesture to them, "Seriously, there must be no corpses down here!" ”

"What!" Even Li Zhonglou, who had been silent, shouted, he frowned, and asked Jian Jue seriously: "Are you true?" Jane, don't be kidding. ”

"I'm not kidding." Jian Du started to do it.

"That's... It doesn't have to be in broad daylight, Jane Decision, there are villagers nearby. Li Zhonglou was still stopping Jian Jue.

Towards noon, the people of the village have to move around for lunch, and there are motorcycles on the highway to take people to the town to buy groceries. Qin Zitao stood on the mountain and just saw it, "Don't you ask what they want Xiao Yan's body for?" Jian Jue, you really can't understand this person, you have been tossing for so long, do you want to go to dinner? ”

When Jian Jue heard this, he also felt hungry.

Li Zhonglou smiled and patted the shoulders of the two, "Let's go to town." ”

"It's good to eat in the town, or it's okay, I'm in for a treat, and I'll decide you to put down the shovel quickly! Stop thinking about digging other people's graves! Qin Zitao followed Li Zhonglou's words and instructed Jian to take action, "Oh, let's go eat steamed pork, you order!" Find a Sichuan restaurant, or you eat Yunnan food? ”

Jian Jue squinted at Qin Zitao and put the shovel away with a smile.

They don't want to trouble Zhang Junjie's family anymore, and they still have to go to the town for lunch. And today is also the day to leave, but Gu Jian decided to stay for an extra morning.

They walked outside the village, where their car was still parked in the clearing.

They didn't delay and drove up the highway. Li Zhonglou specially turned on the stereo. Jian Jue listened to pure music, and his mood gradually relaxed. After he calmed down in his heart, Jian decided to think of what he had done, he was really embarrassed, he reflected on himself, "Actually, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

Qin Zitao leaned against the window of the car on the side, and his head shook slightly with the operation of the car. He glanced at Jian Jue, "Do you still know reason?" ”

"No, no," Li Zhonglou drove in front of him, looking at the two of them through the rearview mirror, "I don't think Jian Jue will think nonsense, it's just that unlike the last time he went out, Jian Jue didn't have much information, and he couldn't sort out the clues himself." ”

"Huh?" Qin Zitao approached Jian Du, "Then now tell me what clues you have?" ”

Jian Jue had no choice but to recount them one by one, "I... I suspect ..., in many places the local gods are passed down by word of mouth, including god-worshipping customs. As long as you investigate, you will find that many of the gods they worship are misinformation. But many people are unsophisticated. You know that the folk saying about the green-headed ghost is that in order to appease the green-headed ghost, he had to find a straw man bride for him and pretend to marry him. If they don't, the greenhead will look for a substitute for the dead on every happy day. Don't you think that the customs of the local mountain gods are very similar to the customs of the green-headed ghosts? ”

"Also, there is a funeral shop in the village itself, and the owner of the shop has his own men. And when it comes to the funeral ghost bride, the boss is looking for a temporary helper in the town... So it causes errors. But by coincidence, someone happened to be looking for a ghost bride to do evil. You know the birthday of the ghost bride on the fourth day of the seventh month, Xiao Liu said that Li Yan's life was not good, and she collided with her family in her life. However, you know that the woman who had to move the grave before Master Fang was born the same as Xiaoyan. I don't know exactly the time, but I went to check on the woman's other relatives... found out that her father's death date was relatively early, and she was also in a bad life. The so-called removal of the feng shui outlet, I think it is simply the excuse of the Fang Master's gang. ”

Qin Zitao nodded, "I also found out what you said at the end, that tomb is no longer on the feng shui mouth at all, and the Fang Shi and the gang still want to move." ”

"Does that make sense?" The corners of Jian Jie's mouth finally hooked up a smile
