30: Know life and death in advance

The whole village went out, and after half an hour the fire was extinguished, and the sky was completely brightened by this time.

Even though the action was fast, the old house still burned down to the frame, and the things used by the grandmother during her lifetime were almost burned down.

Looking at the old mansion that had changed a lot in a blink of an eye, I was glad that I had taken away the books and other valuables left by my grandmother when I left in the middle of the night, otherwise they would have been destroyed by this fire.

Afterwards, the villagers who came to help muttered that something was not quite right in the fire of the old house, and it was too much of a coincidence. A decades-old mansion that has never caught fire. I just sent my grandmother out for burial in the first half of the night, and the old house caught fire in the second half of the night, and it was difficult to guess whether there was anything abnormal in it.

Someone in the family died, and the things used before the deceased were basically taken to the grave and burned, and some people said that this was the grandmother who wanted to take away the old house where she lived before her death. Grandma likes the old house, so she made a fire and burned the old house.

Naturally, I was too lazy to deal with this kind of nonsense, and went into the old house to rummage through the things that were still available.

I was busy until ten o'clock, and I had to give up after I didn't find anything usable.

After eating, Xu Buhuo took the cloth bag, I knew that he was going to the town, so I hurriedly changed my clothes and went with him.

On the way, I said that I heard from the people in the village that the old house was caused by the aging of the circuit, and Xu Buhuo laughed and said, "Do you think so?" ”

I didn't know how to answer, he said, "You have also read a lot of the books left by your grandmother, I think you should have seen the saying about Feng Shui array, some things, which seem to be natural, but in fact there are things that you don't know." ”

Feng Shui array can make people go lucky silently, and it can also make people die silently, so that a moving house can be set on fire, even if it is me, a halfway monk, can also be arranged.

Who is going to burn down the old house?

My eyes glanced at Xu Buhuo from time to time, and then I wondered if it was him who arranged the feng shui array in the old mansion, and wanted it to be him, for what purpose? For grandma's stuff?

A fire will burn everything, unlikely.

Who else will it be? A third person?

On the road behind, Xu Buhuo basically didn't speak, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something, so I couldn't help but ask him what he was thinking.

"I think about your grandmother's burial last night, I wasn't so uneasy when something happened, and I felt abnormal because nothing happened, and I always felt that something more difficult was going to happen, and there were so many roosters dead, and I saw it for the first time."

I don't feel nervous when I don't mention it, but when I mention it, I instantly feel like my heart is suspended in the air, and I can't tell the panic. Especially when so many roosters died violently at the same time, I remembered that I forgot to ask my mother what my father had left before he died, and now it has come true.

When I arrived in the town, I just said that I was going to do something, and Xu Buhuo said: "If you go to Xishan Village, you can take the road on the left, and go straight all the way into the village, and the red-headed house at the end of the village is Mr. Xu's house." ”

I was stunned, Xu Buhuo continued: "You can ask Mr. Xu about the situation when he died, if his family doesn't say it, you can say that you are Xu Dangdang's friend, and they will tell you." ”

Looking at the back of Xu Buhuo leaving, it took me a while to come back to my senses, but I didn't expect these words to come out of Xu Buhuo's mouth.

Xu Dangdang, it seems to be his name, and it sounds a little awkward to pronounce, but I still like to call him Xu Buhuo.

I didn't rush to Xishan Village to ask the truth, but walked to the police station, planning to find Cao Guangshan to check Xu Buhuo's information. I was embarrassed that I didn't know Xu Buhuo's name before, but I didn't expect him to tell me just right.

Cao Guangshan happened to be on duty, and when he saw me, he asked if anything strange had happened in the village. From the look in his eyes, I sensed that he was very interested in the strange things that were happening in the village, so I asked him what he wanted to know.

After hearing the reason, I was helpless. Cao Guangshan also has another ambition, that is, to use science to explain clearly folk things such as vertical kitchen knives, rolling eggs, and summoning spirits.

I'm here to ask for help, and if I don't say some revelations, I'll turn Liu Lezi into human skin, as well as corpses, ghosts hitting the wall, and roosters dying violently.

"Chen Ziwu, are you sure what you said is true?" Cao Guangshan looked incredulous.

"It's really true that you will know when you go to the village that Liu Lezi's skin is still in the coffin at the moment, and as for the dead rooster, I can take you to dig it."

I didn't explain a lot, because I know that a person who believes in science can be a little hard to accept when he knows these facts, but the truth is, science can't explain all the strange things.

After chatting a few more words, I took the opportunity to mention that I wanted to check Xu Buhuo's identity, Cao Guangshan immediately took me to the computer, typed in Xu Dangdang's name, and soon a photo popped up.

The person in the photo is very young, but I can still see Xu Buhuo's appearance, I am sure that it is him, so I went to see his address, this look, I couldn't help but be a little confused.

Xu Buhuo's home is also in Xishan Village, which makes me subconsciously think that he can't really be the feng shui master Mr. Xu that my grandmother wants to invite.

After noting down the exact address, I couldn't wait to rush to Mr. Xu's house in Xishan Village to confirm.

Cao Guangshan was very interested in the affairs of our village, and said that he had time to go to me to witness it with his own eyes, and he must explain it with scientific knowledge, and I said yes, so I left the police station and found a three-wheeled motorcycle and went straight to Xishan Village.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I asked someone from Xishan Village for the address I got from the police station, and they said, "This is Mr. Xu's house, he just passed away a week ago." ”

Is Xu Buhuo really a feng shui master Mr. Xu?

With questions, I trotted all the way to the end of the village and found the house of the red-headed house, with a mourning couplet posted at the door, and pine hair on the ground, which was indeed the costume of someone who had just died.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

I was about to enter the door when a voice came from behind, and when I turned my head, it was a girl who looked about the same age as me, and said to look for Mr. Xu.

The girl looked me up and down and said, "My grandfather died a week ago, do you have anything to do with him?" ”

It turned out to be Mr. Xu's granddaughter, and I said that I knew he had passed away, and I had something to ask.

The girl shouted me into the house, there was a couple in the house, it was the girl's parents, just said my name, the girl's father Xu Lei said the name of the grandmother, after learning that I was her grandson, he was a lot more polite, saying that he had met his grandmother with Mr. Xu in the early years.

It's good to be an acquaintance, thinking of what Xu Buhuo said, I asked Mr. Xu why he died, Xu Lei said very calmly: "People are old, sick, and have a sudden acute heart attack." ”

Thinking of Xu Buhuo's somewhat strange reminder, I knew that this was used to prevaricate outsiders, so I said, "Brother Xu, is this really the case?" ”

asked, so that Xu Lei looked at me with a little vigilance, and asked rhetorically: "What do you want to say?" ”

At this point, I knew that it would be impossible not to move Xu Buhuo out, so I said, "I am Xu Dang's friend." ”

Hearing Xu Dangdang, Xu Lei's face changed significantly, and he was chatting with the girl and her mother next to him, and she also subconsciously turned her head to look at me.

From this, I am sure that they know Xu Buhuo, but what is the relationship between them is not clear for the time being.

Xu Lei was silent for a moment and said, "My father did not die of a heart attack, he was killed by someone. ”

Killed by someone, but said it was a heart attack? I looked at Xu Lei in confusion, knowing that he must have a hard time doing this, so I waited quietly for the following.

That day, Mr. Xu was still normal in the morning, and after lunch, he was enjoying the cool in the courtyard, and his whole body suddenly trembled, and then he hurriedly entered the room.

When he came out again, Mr. Xu had already changed into a shroud, and Xu Lei immediately felt bad when he saw this scene, and was about to ask, but Mr. Xu asked him not to ask anything, his time was up.

Mr. Xu, like his grandmother, seems to have a premonition of his death in advance, and explained to Xu Lei that this pass was predestined a long time ago, and he offended some people in the early years, and now the other party has come to the door, in order to avoid the family being affected, only when he dies can he fully understand this matter.

It seems that knowing Xu Lei's character, Mr. Xu forced him to swear that he could not continue to pursue his death. Xu Lei swore that he would no longer pursue Mr. Xu, so he smiled and explained the aftermath.

Knowing that his father was going to die, Xu Lei stayed by the side, and when he said that it was more than three o'clock, a paper figure cut into a human shape suddenly floated in outside the door. After the paper figure landed, he stood straight on the ground and stared at Mr. Xu, he just glanced at the paper figure, and he felt as if his whole body was frozen, very cold, and then he didn't know anything when it was dark in front of him.

Half an hour after waking up, Mr. Xu had already lost his breath and the paper figure had disappeared.

As Mr. Xu's son, he naturally knows that some inexplicable means can harm people and be invisible, even if he wants to avenge his father, but there is no way, because Mr. Xu has already confessed.

A paper man can easily kill his experienced father, and he knows that if he continues to investigate, his wife and daughter may have a silent accident, so he can only endure this matter.

After saying this, Xu Lei's eyes were red and he cried silently.

Seeing my father being killed and nothing could be done, I could feel how helpless it was.

What happened to Mr. Xu made me wonder if my grandmother was like this? Otherwise, how could she have left a letter in advance to inform me what to do?

I thought that if I were really like Mr. Xu, my grandmother would also wear a shroud, or explain the aftermath to me and my mother. The fact is that except for the letter, my grandmother did not show that she was going to die, after all, before that, she also said that she would solve the problem of losing my soul and having a birthmark on my face.

According to the time, Mr. Xu died during the day, and his grandmother died that night.

Mr. Xu took the first step, and I thought it was impossible for my grandmother to be unable to count this situation, but she still wrote in the letter that she would come to Xishan Village to find Mr. Xu to help deal with the aftermath, indicating that she did not know that Mr. Xu had actually passed away a few hours before her.

Thinking of this, my scalp went numb, and I suddenly understood what the letter was all about.
