29: Restlessness

As long as something happens to anyone's family, the people in the village will watch.

For a moment, my heart panicked as if it was about to explode, and I rushed to the crowd and squeezed inside.

When I went in, my scalp was numb, my back was cold, and my palms were sweaty.

The ground at the entrance of the old house was full of dead chickens, big red-crowned roosters.

When I looked up and saw my mother standing in the doorway with a panicked face, I relaxed and focused my attention on the dead on the ground. From the body of the dead roosters that are still paralyzed, it can be seen that these roosters have not died for long, and there is no blood on the ground, indicating that there are no wounds on the body.

There were no wounds on the body, the chickens died, and there were so many deaths at once, I subconsciously thought of the scene when my grandmother's coffin fell to the ground before, and when the chickens in the coffin crowed, all the roosters in the whole village crowed.

Although I was panicked at the time, I still remembered that after the death of the chicken sitting in the coffin, the rooster crow in the village seemed to disappear in an instant.

Invisibly, the sitting coffin chicken on the grandmother's coffin seems to have a connection with the rooster in the village.

The rooster in the coffin died after crowing, and the rooster in the village seemed to die after crowing. The conversation between the elders next to me just confirmed my suspicion, saying that I didn't know what was going on, and the rooster in the village crowed almost at the same time, and after a long cry, there was no movement.

If it's just one or two roosters crowing, the people in the village won't care. The roosters of the whole village crowed at the same time, and at the same time there was no sound, which was so strange that everyone in the village got up to check.

I saw the rooster in the house lying on his stomach on the ground and dying. Then, they all went out with dead roosters to see what was going on.

They gathered here at my old house because they knew that my grandmother would be buried at twelve o'clock tonight. The rooster crowed in unison, just at the time of grandma's burial, guessing that this strange thing was probably related to grandma's burial.

Throwing all the roosters at the door, not because I wanted my family to lose money, but because I wanted to know why the roosters in the whole village were dying in an instant, and asked Mr. Xu for a reassuring reply.

I used to think that something was wrong tonight, but now that so many cocks have died at once, I feel even more wrong.

"I'll leave it to you."

After throwing this sentence to Xu Buhuo, who came up, I went to my mother's side, she was frightened, her face was pale, I comforted me and said that it was just a few dead roosters, nothing happened, but my mother muttered in a low voice: "I'm not afraid that these roosters will die, but the words that your father left before he died, and now it seems to be beginning to come true." ”

The words that my father left before he died have now been fulfilled? What does it have to do with these dead roosters?

I looked at the rooster on the ground and wondered what my father had left behind before he died. Judging from the way my mother was scared, I think my father's words must have had some terrible consequences.

There were so many people that I couldn't resist my curiosity and sent my mother back to the hall and went out to help clean up the violent on the ground.

Because all the roosters died violently at the same time, and the people in the village did not dare to take them back to slaughter, I troubled the uncle who helped to bury them, and pulled the dead roosters to the back of the village with a cart to find a place to bury them, during which I counted exactly ninety-nine.

Back in the house, I couldn't help but ask Xu Buhuo if I knew why my grandmother's coffin chicken died, and the rooster in the village also died, Xu Buhuo shook his head.

Cooked a supper for the six uncles who helped carry the coffin, each wrapped a red envelope, and before leaving, Xu Buhuo took the initiative to take out a few yellow talismans for them and asked them to take them back and put them at the head of the bed.

During the whole process, my mother was in a very bad state, and she couldn't keep her soul, and if I hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have been able to eat supper. Seeing that, I hurriedly asked her to sit and rest.

After sending my grandmother away, the hall suddenly became a little deserted, I silently packed up the things in the mourning hall, and Xu Buhu also stood up to help me clean up.

Facing him, I couldn't describe the complexity in my heart for a while.

He knew I knew he was a fake, but what he said on the hill didn't sound like a lie.

According to Uncle Qin's guess, he tried his best to help out in order to plot something from his grandmother, but I didn't find out what he took from the old mansion, or he had taken it but I didn't know, or I didn't find what he wanted.

I know that everything has to have a result.

I thought that burying my grandmother would indicate that something could end. But what happened to me gave me a very clear feeling that the real trouble seemed to have just begun.

There are only three souls left of the three souls and seven spirits, and I don't know where the seven spirits went. I don't know how to get rid of the birthmark left by Jiang Yan on his face, as well as the rooster that died inexplicably, and what his father said before he died, which made his mother spontaneously frightened.

Especially when I thought of sending my grandmother to the mountain to be buried so quietly, I couldn't help but panic, and I felt that something big was going to happen.

And Xu Buhuo and Uncle Qin, I know that one of the two must be lying, the two are like enemies, invisibly slandering each other, so that I can't be sure who is true and who is fake.

After the basic miscellaneous items in the mourning hall were cleaned up, I also had a clear decision in my heart about Xu Buhuo, if he wanted to stay and continue to deal with the unfinished business, then let him be. If he wants to leave, I won't stop him.

I think it is necessary to verify whether Mr. Xu in Xishan Village really died, and although I don't know the true origin of Xu Buhuo, it doesn't mean that it can't be checked. Before, the policeman Cao Guangshan left a phone number, so that he could ask him for help if necessary, and I think he could ask him to check Xu Buhuo's true identity.

It is not easy to judge whether a person is good or bad without thorough evidence.

Thinking back carefully to the previous communication with Uncle Qin, I found that something was wrong, the so-called third person didn't seem to be Xu Buhuo.

If Xu Buhuo is the one who seduces my seven spirits, why do you still try to recruit me?

And who is the person who made Liu Lezi turn into human skin?

Judging from Xu Buhuo's reaction at the time, he really didn't know the specific purpose.

The corpse that appeared at Uncle Qin's house to block me, and the ghost who blocked me from coming back on the road, I thought again, could it be that there was really a third person hidden in the village? He had been hiding in the shadows, watching us, and then something came out to play us around.

"Is the oil of the Soul Suppressor burned out?"

Xu Buhuo suddenly came to me, I said that there was still some left, and he asked me to bring it, ready to try the secret method, to see if I could get back the spirit that I didn't know where to go.

After reading the books, I knew that a soul that had been out of the body for too long would cause inexplicable damage to the body. I still rely on the secret method to support my spirit, and the return of the seven spirits is indeed the most important thing at the moment.

When I entered the place where the oil bottle was placed, I reached for it only to find that the oil bottle was missing. Thinking that maybe it had been taken by my mother, I went to her and asked.

After asking three times in a row, my mother came back to her senses and said, "I didn't take it, I didn't touch that thing, haven't you always managed it?" ”

Looking at my mother's soulless and stunned state, I suddenly felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Back in the hall, I asked Xu Buhuo: "The oil bottle is in the hall, haven't you taken it?" ”

"What did I do with it, it's useless to me, I just remembered that maybe I can find your soul in a way." Xu Buhuo shook me with an unhappy face.

I was wondering if I would take it somewhere else, but I remembered that before Xu Buhuo went to Uncle Qin's house, I also saw that the oil bottle had been in that position, because I was worried that I would accidentally overturn it, so I specially made a small place to put it.

The three of us have never touched the oil bottle, I asked my mother's uncle who helped if he had entered the Niantang, Xu Buhuo interjected and said no, he has been guarding the mourning hall since I went to Uncle Qin's house, but I was afraid that no one would have entered the Niantang if there was a problem with the few people.

The letter was lost inexplicably, and I figured it out, there wasn't much oil left in the oil bottle, and I couldn't figure out what someone was going to do with the oil bottle.

"Could it be him?"

I looked upstairs and thought of the little ghost, who had silently taken away the letter I had hidden, and perhaps the oil bottle.

Xu Buhuo frowned slightly, took out a yellow talisman and went upstairs, and I hurriedly followed.

Walking to the corner, I saw Xu Buhuo stunned in place, I leaned in to take a look, and my heart couldn't help but tighten.

The cabinet was empty, and a series of things such as the previous urn were all gone. From the ash marks on the cabinets, I was sure those things were still there.

"Did the imp move away?"

The disappearance of two things in quick succession made my heart feel more uneasy, and I felt more and more that something big was going to happen.

"Impossible, the yin ghost can move things, but it can never move the items where it is hiding, look at the furnishings, the little ghost is indeed raised by your grandmother, and the time of raising it is not short, it should have been stolen by someone."

Downstairs there is someone to take care of at any time of the day and night, and it is impossible for the person who took the urn to come up from downstairs, so I opened the wooden window not far away

I didn't see any traces, I was about to close the wooden window, Xu Buhuo suddenly reached out to stop the wooden window, and wiped his fingers on the edge of the wooden window, there was some fine yellow powder.

He put the yellow powder in front of his nose and sniffed it, saying, "It was transferred by secret means." ”

On the way back, I still wanted to find the little ghost and asked my grandmother if she had left anything to explain, but I didn't think that the other party seemed to know what I was thinking about and took a step ahead of time to get the little ghost away.

It is not surprising that the urn where the imp is hiding can be taken away silently, and I can't figure out what the other party's purpose is.

Could it be that he knew that Xu Buhuo could use the lamp oil to get my spirit back, and in order to stop it, he took the lamp oil away one step ahead?

"The lamp oil is gone, what are you going to do?"

I looked at Xu Buhuo, and knew that to recruit back the Seven Spirits, I still had to rely on him.

"I'll go to town tomorrow, and I'll find a friend to borrow something, and that thing should find yours."

Xishan Village is just below the town, not too far away, I thought that I could go to Xishan Village to inquire about the specific situation of Mr. Xu, a feng shui master, and said that I also have something to go with, Xu Buhuo nodded and didn't say anything.

My grandmother had been buried, and there was nothing wrong with the old house, so my mother asked me to pack up and take what I wanted to the new house, which was ready to be locked up.

The only thing that interested me in the hall was the collection of books left by my grandmother. In addition, there is a wooden box next to the book, which is locked and locked, so I also took the wooden box with me when I packed up the book.

When I returned to the new house and slept soundly, the door of my courtyard was suddenly slammed, as if something had happened, and my mother and Xu Buhuo walked out of the room almost at the same time.

"Ziwu, your old house is on fire." Brother Li shouted

Walking into the courtyard, I looked up at the direction of the old house, and saw the firelight illuminating half of the sky.
