What caught my eye was a bronze mask, this bronze mask was very weird, with wide lips, revealing two miserable white teeth, and horizontal eyebrows, like a demon crawling out of hell.

I was startled by this mask, and I heard a small sound like a silver bell, and Cui Yingying took off the mask and winked at me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and gave her a burst of chestnut, which provoked Cui Yingying's oops.

"Brother Yang Sheng, you are so bad!" Cui Yingying pouted, turned around and ran towards the house.

Because the head is relatively large, the thin body is a little unable to support it, so it sways from side to side when it runs, and it looks a little kawaii.

I followed the room, looking at the mask in her hand, her eyes motionless.

Cui Yingying snorted lightly, turned her head, and hugged her two little hands in front of her chest, looking like she didn't intend to forgive me.

"Where did this mask come from?" I asked suspiciously.

"I made it myself, where else can I get it?" Cui Yingying pouted.

I snatched the mask from her hand and looked it up and down, and it was really just made. It's not a bronze mask, it's actually a thin wooden plank on which the prototype of the mask is carved and dyed with various dyes.

The dyes were commonplace, so they looked a little rough and not as delicate as they were seen on the river god's face that day.

"Brother Yang Sheng, how is it? What do I look like? I heard my grandfather say that when I sacrificed to the river god that day, the river god appeared, and he wore such a mask! Cui Yingying said playfully.

I pursed my lips and smiled, "Like, it's like!" ”

Cui Yingying's face was overjoyed, and she became a little more cute, then put the mask on her face and said, "Bold Yang Sheng, when you see the river god, don't you kneel?" ”

I couldn't help but want to give her a shiver, but she shook her head and avoided it.

"Brother Yang Sheng, I've heard about it these days, you have encountered something strange! Originally, the people in the village said that I was a freak, but now that the real freak has appeared, why don't the people in the village have the courage to say it? Cui Yingying said to me angrily.

I glanced at her and said, "You don't have to think about these things, I'm here to pick you up today, I'm not worried about you being home alone, so let's go to my house for a few days!" ”

"I'm not going, Widow Chen is at your house, what am I going to do?" Cui Yingying took off her mask and said crisply.

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect this little girl to have this kind of thought, and said with a smile: "Let's go, there will be a big bad wolf at night!" ”

Cui Yingying glanced at me with disdain, "Although I look small, like a three-year-old child, my brain is not small!" ”

I was speechless for a while, ready to forcibly take this little girl away, who knew that she was beating and making trouble, and she was reluctant to go out of the yard.

"If you don't want to go out, then I'll bring you food every day?" I asked tentatively.

Cui Yingying waved her small hand, "It's best to send a few books, more supernatural and ghostly, if there are Taoist books, it's even better!" ”

I looked at her in amazement, but she turned her head away, fiddling with the mask in her hand, and made me sigh for no reason.

In the end, the little girl still couldn't leave with me, but stood alone behind the crack in the door, waved to me timidly, and then slammed the courtyard door shut.

I had no choice but to go home alone, and when I passed by Second Uncle Zhang's house, I also went to visit Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo recovered well, at least he had regained his senses, and when he saw me enter the courtyard, he looked at me with a shy.

"Widow Chen is at your house?" Zhang Mo squeezed his eyebrows and smiled at me.

I was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly covered it up and said, "Isn't this to prevent two leprosies?" You think I want to? ”

"Phew...... Lao Tzu has seen such a brazen person, but I have never seen you so brazen! Zhang Mo pouted and muttered, then his expression became lonely, and said: "Yang Sheng, I was glared at by the female corpse that night, and I had a long dream, and I forgot everything in the dream, and I couldn't remember it at all. My dad said that I knocked over seven ever-bright lamps and let the female corpse run wild, you kid won't blame me, right? ”

"It's all brothers, what are you talking about?" I muttered, then looked at him and asked, "You don't have any after-effects, do you?" ”

Zhang Mo's face suddenly became strange, as if there was something unspeakable.

I was stunned for a moment, "Is there really a sequelae?" ”

"I don't know if it's the sequelae, but I can always feel that there seems to be something in front of my eyes these days, shaking constantly!" Zhang Mo sighed.

I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and hurriedly said, "You didn't ask Second Uncle Zhang?" ”

"My dad said he didn't know!" Zhang Mo said distressedly.

My heart sank to the bottom, what if something happened?

"Don't worry, Lao Tzu will not die this time, there will be blessings in the future, don't take it to heart you kid!" Zhang Mo pushed me.

I nodded, thinking that if I had time, I would call Xue Liangui and ask Zhang Mo about the situation, if there were really sequelae, then solve it as soon as possible, so as not to cause any major incidents.

When I got home, I found that my mother and Shen Mozhi had gone to the field, so I simply borrowed a bicycle and rode to the town.

First of all, I visited Lao Jiu Ye in the hospital, and found that his complexion was much better, and the whole person was also a little more energetic, and he had strength when he spoke, and even when he looked at me, he showed a smile.

I comforted him a few words and told him that everything was normal in the village, Zhang Mo also woke up, nothing serious, and the female corpse did not move.

After hearing this, the old ninth master was also very comforted, and said with a sigh: "In my life, I am a husband, I lost my wife in middle age, and I lost my son in my old age, what happened in this village must have something to do with me......"

I hurriedly comforted him and said: "Ninth Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, I don't know what is going on with this matter, Mr. Xue said that someone is doing ghosts behind his back, and I have always suspected that it is Mrs. Zhang......"

Grandpa Jiu's face immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "This mother-in-law was a prodigal thief back then, so she should have been immersed in a pig cage at that time." ”

I stared at the old ninth master in a daze, it was the first time I heard such a rumor.

Old Jiu Ye sighed and said, "This mother-in-law was originally a native of our village, but when she reached the age when she should get married, she was not able to marry, but instead brought back a man, who was ten years older than her. That's not all, this man is still a married man, which makes the people in the village very annoyed......"

"What about the man?" I asked.

"Dead!" Old Ninth Master snorted coldly.

I feel a little uneasy in my heart, after Mrs. Zhang disappeared, there has been no news until now, and no one knows where she went. originally thought that he would be able to hear some traces of Mrs. Zhang's son from the old ninth master, but he didn't expect to hear such a rumor.

The old ninth master sighed and said: "Back then, I was also soft-hearted, plus this mother-in-law, I don't know where I learned the ghosts and gods, and the people in the village pleaded for mercy, so I spared her life." If I find out, she really did this, and sooner or later I'm going to pick her skin......"

"Ninth Grandpa, how much else do you know about Mrs. Zhang?" I asked unwillingly.

The old ninth master thought for a while and said: "I don't know much, at that time, Mrs. Zhang was quite beautiful, and there were a few young men in the village who pursued her, but this mother-in-law was more ambitious, and she didn't have a good face for the people in the village, and then she found a man outside the village, and then conceived a sin for this man, which is said to be a boy." After the child was born, he was taken away by the wild man, and there has been no news for so many years. At that time, a criticism meeting was held in the village, and they wanted to immerse Mrs. Zhang in the pig cage and force the man to show up, but the man never showed up, and no one even saw the child again......"

I was a little shocked, I didn't expect that there was such a past in the village.

"Later, I heard that the man died in the Wang Chuan River......" said the old ninth master with a sigh.

My heart jumped, "Why is it Wang Chuanhe again?" ”

The old ninth master said sadly: "You don't know, how fierce Wang Chuanhe was back then, and the people who died in the river are simply countless!" ”

I was speechless, after all, I had never experienced that time.

The old ninth master said: "Since the man died, Mrs. Zhang has never seen her look for the child, so she has lived in the village, pretending to be a ghost, and she has lived for so many years." ”

I asked, "Do you know who that man is?" ”

"I don't know, but I've heard that it's the people around the village, who they are, I don't know!" The old ninth master said with a sigh.

I nodded, and didn't ask any more, so many years have passed, and the old ninth master doesn't remember much, so let him rest at this time, after all, his body is important.

After saying goodbye to the old ninth master, I went to find a phone booth outside the village, called Nuan Nuan, and asked her to help me find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang.

Warm agreed very happily, and asked me to pay attention to safety, and contact again if there is something.

I hung up the phone and went to the only bookstore in town, where I found a few books on ghosts and ghosts, as well as a few books on Taoism that were in name only.

The owner of the bookstore also told me that these books were all handed down from the Heavenly Master's Mansion and were all genuine.

I just smiled, rode my bicycle home, and by the way, stuffed these books to Cui Yingying.

When I went home, I passed by the ancestral hall and saw that the area around the ancestral hall was empty, which looked a little gloomy. On weekdays, everyone occasionally gathers here, but no one expected that this ancestral hall would become like this.

I sighed and turned to go home, thinking that this matter had settled down, but I didn't expect that what should have come would still come.

Three days later, in the early morning, my mother made breakfast, but saw that Shen Moying's room was still closed.

I'm a little curious, it stands to reason that it's this time, Shen Mozhi should have gotten up early, what's wrong today?

My mom gestured to me, I stood up, went to the door of the room, and called, "Sister-in-law? ”

There was no movement in the room, the deathly silence, I felt a little bad, and suddenly slammed open the door, and saw Shen Moying with his back to me, his shoulders shaking, obviously crying.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" I asked, surprised.

Shen Mo's eyes were red, he turned his head, cried out in a voice, and said, "Yang Sheng, he ...... Came back......"
