36: Life Quest
The more things happen, the more chaotic they become.
I don't want to mess with the premonition in my heart, because I know that as long as the uncle who carried my grandmother's coffin dies again, then my father's prophecy before death will be completely unquestioned.
It was easy for the villagers to know that the death of their grandmother had brought an incomprehensible fear.
At that time, my mother and I will be the ones to be conquered.
I can't imagine what the people of the village will do when the time comes.
Although I don't know who of the five people will commit the next suicide, I think of the obvious sign of a big change in the temperament of Brother Li before the accident, and I feel that the temperament of the remaining five people must change when it is their turn.
You can use this sign to determine who it is, and then stop it before the person kills himself.
I also thought that although my father's prophecy was in the foreground, there were uncertainties before everything happened.
Thinking of this, I have a glimmer of hope in my heart, and I feel that this method will break my father's death prophecy.
Preventing the next person from committing suicide might change something and put an end to this death prophecy.
Finally there was a feasible solution and a small hope, I took a deep breath and said, "Old man, let's do it, just use the secret method you said, and I will be the corpse seeker." ”
"Are you sure, that's a year to live." Xu Buhuo looked at me with a complicated face.
I smiled helplessly and said, "Who knows how long I can live, and you don't know my current situation, so I can't say that I earned it?" ”
The original intention was to mock himself to ease the tension at the scene, but after he finished speaking, the scene became colder, and everyone stopped talking, not knowing what to say.
Looking at the fat man and the stone, thinking that they are not deeply involved now, I don't want them to have an accident later, so I stubbornly said with a bad attitude: "There is nothing to do with the two of you here, go back first, I won't leave you to eat." ”
When we were in school, the three of us had the best relationship, and it's hard to say that now, but I know I have to. My instincts made it clear to me that if they continued to follow up, something was going to happen.
From the death of Mrs. Wang, the violent death of Liu Lezi, and the murder of Uncle Qin, it can be seen that the third person hiding in the secret is ruthless, and killing people is as simple as mowing grass for him.
If the two of them followed me, something would happen, and I didn't want to open the door and see one of them kneeling on the ground motionless.
"Ziwu, do you cross the river and tear down the bridge? You called us to help, and now you're going to drive us away? The stone stared at me in disbelief, his eyes reddening.
The fat man was also a little unhappy and said: "That is, when you are a brother, we only come to help, you do this, treat us as dogs, you want to shout, if you don't want to kick away." ”
The road has come to this point, I know the character of the two, if I know the reason, I will not leave, my face turned over, and I shouted: "Labor and management are to cross the river and tear down the bridge, that is, to use you as dogs, it's not happy, you have the ability to beat me." ”
The two of them clenched their fists and looked at me through gritted teeth, and I turned and went straight into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, tears flowed out, I clenched my fists tightly, and said to the two of them in my heart: Good brother, I'm sorry.
"Grass, Chen Ziwu, I don't have a brother like you."
"From now on, don't let me meet you."
The fat man and the stone vented their frustration and left, and I slid on the ground, crying like a child, even though I was eighteen years old.
Crying can indeed relieve the unhappiness in my heart, and my mother came to me and told me to cry well, and it would be good to cry.
When I came to my senses, Xu Buhuo had already arranged Brother Liu's birthday and drew eight yellow talismans with different spells.
As soon as he walked up to him, he said, "You kid, even if I didn't misunderstand you, let them stay here is really hurting them, but the way is a little too much." ”
"No way, time is urgent, if I explain it clearly, they won't leave."
Xu Buhuo didn't dwell on this matter, and continued to draw a relatively large magic circle on the ground, letting me sit in the middle of the magic circle, and then he arranged the eight yellow talismans in the eight directions.
The yellow talisman with Brother Liu's birthday written on it was held in my mouth, and then, Xu Bu lived in the center of my eyebrows, and drew a spell in the palm of my hand.
After these were done, Xu Buhuo took out a dead man's incense from the cloth bag and lit it, and let me carry it with my hands together.
The secret method needs to be practiced, Xu Buhuo lit three yellow incense sticks, walked around me, and his fingers kept changing as he walked, and the finger points were on the top of my head, on my back, and so on.
Walking down in three circles, the incense of the dead that I held in my hand, the burning smoke doubled, and fell down on the eight yellow talismans.
"Up."
Xu Buhuo let out a low snort, and saw the eight yellow talismans around him swoop and stand up stunned, as if supported by the smoke of the burning incense of the dead, and I saw that my whole body was tense.
Xu Buhuo continued to step on his feet, the dead man's incense that could be burned overnight before, this time it burned very quickly, and the thick smoke was wrapped around the eight yellow talismans, so that the yellow talismans would not fall.
The whole process lasted about ten minutes, and as soon as the dead man's incense was burned, eight yellow talismans that had no support but were perpendicular to the ground burst into flames with a single exhale.
At this time, I clearly felt that the yellow charm I was holding in my mouth became hot, and then it became very bitter, so bitter that my eyes bloomed, and I lost consciousness as soon as it was dark.
In a dazed and stiff state, I dreamed of the picture of Brother Liu suddenly getting up last night, and then my eyes followed him, followed him to the outside of the courtyard, and ran towards the cemetery in the back mountain.
Although it was dark, Brother Liu rushed all the way to his grandmother's grave and stood like a stake. When it was almost dawn, he moved again, rushed down the hill, climbed over the wall of the old house, and jumped into the well in the courtyard of the old house.
The picture is gone, I opened my eyes with a shake, Xu Buhuo was standing in front of me, the smoke in the room had not yet dissipated, it seemed that not long had passed.
"See?"
I nodded, and Xu Buhuo stepped forward and pressed a finger on my eyebrows, signaling that I could move.
As soon as I was about to move, there was a sharp pain all over my body, and then it was like a needle in my head, and I couldn't help but hum out in pain, and my whole body was so painful that I collapsed directly to the ground.
This is the end of the search for the body, and if I think about it again, the process is not very complicated, just like that, is it gone in one year?
Xu Buhuo went back to the new house and brought eight corpse nails, and asked me where Brother Li disappeared last, I looked at the burned old mansion and said, "Next door, in the well." ”
replied, making Xu Buhuo stunned.
We searched for Brother Li all over the mountains, who would have thought that he was hiding in the well next door.
Hiding in the well, he needed to go down the well, and Xu Buhuo found a rope again.
What was the old mansion burned into before, and what is it still like now, Xu Buhuo fixed the rope and was about to tie it to himself, so I snatched the rope over.
"I'll go."
I didn't say much, I tied the rope around my waist, then climbed to the mouth of the well, and went down slowly.
The well of the old house was dug by grandpa and grandma when they first moved to the village, and it was shaped like an inverted funnel, and the wellhead was not large, and the more it was facing down, the more space there was.
Memory, although this well is here, I have never seen my grandmother use the water in it, and besides, she has not allowed us to use the water in it, and the people in the village came to fetch water, and they were all blown away.
I remember one year of drought, the waterholes in the village were eaten dry, and the drinking water was tight, I didn't want to go to the village to carry water, so I came to the old house to fetch water, and the water was just about to drink when my grandmother bumped into it.
My mother once said that the water in the old house and the ancient well was very sweet, but since I was born, for some reason, my grandmother has not allowed the water in it. I was scolded by my grandmother, I retorted that I could drink it before, why not now, my grandmother slapped me twice, and said angrily that it used to be before, and now even if I die of thirst, I can't drink the water in the well.
The reason why I remember this incident deeply is because my grandmother has doted on me since I was a child, and this is the most fierce she has ever been to me.
It's hot outside, but it's cold in the well, and before I touch the well water, I'm so cold that my teeth tremble, and when my body is submerged in the water, I'm so cold that I can't help but hum.
"What's wrong?" Xu Buhuo asked at the wellhead.
"It's too cold, it's bone-chilling." I shivered uncontrollably, and after only a minute of water, my hands and feet felt stiff.
"Isn't the well water all lukewarm?"
Listening to Xu Buhuo's muttering, it suddenly occurred to me that this well seemed to be abnormal.
In the general well, the well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, plus it is summer now, this well should not be so cold, inside and outside the well, it feels completely two worlds.
It's not normal, it reminds me of the way she murdered me when I was a child, and I felt more and more uneasy. Just as he was about to ask Xu Buhuo if there was something wrong with the well, Xu Buhuo's head stuck into the well.
"Quick, hurry up with his body, this well is in danger."
Xu Buhuo panicked.
This is the first time I've seen him so panicked since I met him.
