Chapter Twenty-Three: The Big-Headed Doll
Listening to Xue Liangui's words, my heart felt like I had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and I didn't know how to answer.
Xue Liangui said: "If you believe in Zhang Laoer, let's help him leave those coffins in the ancestral hall, if you don't believe Zhang Laoer, let's bury the body back in the cemetery!" ”
I kept my head down and didn't speak.
Xue Liangui sneered and said, "You can think about it, Zhang Laoer, I can't see through it now......"
"I believe in Second Uncle Zhang!" I said it categorically. I don't know why, but I feel that this sentence came out of my mouth naturally.
Xue Liangui glanced at me meaningfully, and then smiled pursedly.
I'm not sure what his smile contains, but I think his smile at this time is much warmer than the tone that rejected people thousands of miles away before.
Xue Liangui took me and the old ninth master and went to the ancestral hall in a mighty way.
The outside of the ancestral hall was full of people, all with indignant expressions on their faces, pointing to the coffins in the ancestral hall and cursing loudly.
Some of them quietly raised their heads and glanced in my direction, and there was some resentment in their eyes. In their hearts, they must have thought that I had done it, that my father had come back from the river and wanted to take revenge on the big guy.
Xue Liangui's face sank, pushed away the people around him, and stood on the edge of the big pit in the ancestral hall. His gloomy eyes swept around, and the people around him suddenly fell silent.
This is not only the momentum, but also because the means that Xue Liangui has shown these days have indeed convinced the people in the village.
"What are you yelling about?" Xue Liangui had a calm face and glared at the people around him.
At this time, the big guys were muttering in their hearts and didn't know how to answer.
Xue Liangui snorted coldly, pointed to the inside of the big pit, and said, "Do you know what's inside this big pit?" That's your ancestors, your ancestors! Why are they reluctant to be buried in the cemetery? Have you thought about it? ”
The big guys are stunned, and there are still ancestors who are unwilling to be buried in the cemetery?
Xue Liangui sneered and said, "I admit that it was a wrong choice for me to let you carry the coffins back and bury them back to the cemetery. But last night, the ancestors of your Sanwangzhai gave me a dream, saying that they did not want to be buried in the cemetery, and they chose to stay in the ancestral hall because they wanted to protect your Sanwangzhai! ”
"Really?" Someone asked in a whisper.
Xue Liangui sneered: "Dao Master, what I said, is there a fake?" Can you ordinary people understand the painstaking efforts of your ancestors? ”
The crowd muttered loudly, looked at each other one by one, and suppressed all the doubts in their hearts.
"The coffin here, you don't have to carry it back, find someone to spread wood on the ancestral hall, cover it first, then build a wooden building, place the ancestral tablet, and the rest of the things, I will be the master of the Tao!" With a wave of his hand, Xue Liangui settled this matter.
Not to mention, Xue Liangui's words are more effective than the old ninth master, now that so many strange things have happened in Sanwangzhai, the nerves of the big guys have collapsed into a line, and whatever Xue Liangui says now, they will all obey numbly.
The old ninth master stood in the crowd, sighed and waved his hands, and asked someone to find wood, first lay the wood on the edge of this big pit, and cover up the things in the ancestral hall, otherwise it would be scary enough to expose so many coffins, plus the female corpse covered with white cloth inside.
The crowd dispersed, and Xue Liangui walked up to me, sighed and said, "Master Dao, there is only so much I can do, if your Second Uncle Zhang doesn't have the means, then I'm afraid he won't be able to scare this group of people." ”
I'm a little panicked, the female corpse hasn't been solved yet, and Xue Liangui has no choice?
"Let's go, I'll go talk to your Second Uncle Zhang, there are some things that must be made clear, otherwise it won't be good for anyone." Xue Liangui said a word, turned around and walked towards Second Uncle Zhang's house.
I glanced at the old ninth master and saw that he had no problem for the time being, so I turned around and followed Xue Liangui's footsteps. Who knew that when I arrived at Second Uncle Zhang's house, Xue Liangui didn't let me in, and I was alone in the house with Second Uncle Zhang, and I didn't know what I talked about.
Towards the end of the evening, Xue Liangui came back with a strange expression on his face, and brought me back two news, one good news and one bad news.
The good news is that Zhang Mo has already woken up, and in a day or two, he will be safe and sound. The bad news is that Xue Liangui is leaving tomorrow, and the time of his return cannot be determined.
As soon as I heard that he was leaving, I was really panicked, "Mr. Xue, how should I solve that female corpse?" Can't you always put it in the ancestral hall? ”
Xue Liangui sank his face and said, "The reason why I left was for the female corpse and the river!" To put it bluntly, that female corpse is a time bomb, if it is not well placed, let alone your village, there are ten miles and eight towns around here, I'm afraid there will be nothing left! ”
"What about you...... Got a solution? I asked, palpitating.
Xue Liangui sighed, glanced out the window, and said, "I didn't expect it, but your Second Uncle Zhang thought of it!" Your second uncle Zhang is really a great talent, I am in front of him, I really can't see enough! Since the woman's body could not be sent back to the river, it could only be buried nearby. When she was buried, she needed a Netherworld Prison coffin, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bury her at all. This Netherworld Prison Coffin is not easy to find, I went out to try my luck, maybe I found it? Please remember my phone number, if there is anything, you can contact me at any time......"
I don't know what the hell prison coffin is, but looking at Xue Liangui's determined appearance, it shouldn't be the same, so I hurriedly found paper and a pen and memorized Xue Liangui's mobile phone number.
Xue Liangui continued: "You remember, there is not much time left, we only have a total of seven seven and forty-nine days, and now there are only more than forty days left, in these more than forty days, even if I can't find the Hell Coffin in Netherworld Town, I will come back early, and I will help you think of a way when the time comes......"
I was moved to tears, and I couldn't express the excitement in my heart.
Xue Liangui waved his hand and said, "But during this period, you must remember that the purple gold compass in the ancestral hall must not be moved, as long as it moves, it will be a catastrophe......
I hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Xue Liangui continued: "Also, I have talked so much with your Second Uncle Zhang, but I haven't come up with anything useful, but one thing I can be sure of is that the female corpse was made by someone, and the purpose is likely to be your father." Now the female corpse is stable for the time being, but the other party will definitely not give up, and there must be a follow-up move. You kid usually pay attention, don't follow other people's ways. I guess that the mastermind behind the scenes is probably in your Sanwangzhai, maybe it is the people of your Sanwangzhai, if you can find out who the other party is, if you can't find out, then keep yourself......"
I panicked and nodded again. But there is no score in my heart, the first object of suspicion is naturally Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang has been missing for so long, and there is nowhere to find it.
"Okay, I'll say so much about Daoye, the rest depends on your kid's life!" Xue Liangui waved at me.
I hesitated, hurriedly went back to the house and took out more than 2,000 yuan, and stuffed it into Xue Liangui's hand, "Mr. Xue, I don't have much money at home......
Xue Liangui was stunned for a moment, then sneered and stuffed the front back, "Just your little money, it's not enough for Dao Ye and me to eat a Four Spirit Banquet, let's put it away, Dao Ye and I don't miss this money......
I looked at the guy's look of disdain, knew that what he said was true, and was a little embarrassed, and took the money back.
The next day, Xue Liangui really left.
The people in the village didn't notice it, and under the supervision of the old ninth master, the big guy built a temporary ancestral hall, which was much simpler than the original, and it was also a bamboo building. In this simple ancestral hall, there are also only some tablets, and nothing else.
After the ancestral hall was built, the old ninth master fell ill, and the big guy sent him to the hospital in the town, and several people took turns to take care of him.
I was the first to want to go to take care of it, but I was driven back by the old ninth master and said that I would help take care of the house.
I know what Lao Jiu Ye means, and I can only nod and agree, this so-called taking care of the family does not mean taking care of Lao Jiu Ye's house, or taking care of the village, but taking care of Lao Jiu Ye's only family.
The old ninth master lost his wife in middle age and had a son under his knees, but this son had just gotten married and had an accident on the mountain. At that time, the old ninth master's house could be said to have collapsed in half. There was only the old ninth master and his daughter-in-law left in the family, this daughter-in-law was pregnant at the time, because her husband died, she was depressed all day long, and after giving birth to a daughter, she died, and it can be regarded as leaving a descendant for the old ninth master's family.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, this girl has been sick since she was born, and after she grew to the age of three, her body has barely developed.
If it's just that the body is not developed, maybe in the past, this is dwarfism or something, but this girl is no different from a normal person from the neck onwards, only the body is the same as a three-year-old child. I'm twenty years old this year, and I'm still a three-year-old child, but my head is the size of a normal person, and he's very smart.
The head of an ordinary person and the body of a three-year-old child are very weird, and people feel a little scared after seeing them. So in private, many people say that this is a ghost fetus and a demon, and they call this girl a big-headed doll.
Because of this, this girl usually does not go out of the house, only moves in her room, and rarely goes to see outsiders. But this girl's face is extremely beautiful, which makes me feel very cute, so after going to school, I don't believe much in the saying of demons and ghosts, and usually give her a book or two, but she can be self-taught, not only literate and reasonable, but also able to analyze the good and good of some articles.
After a long time, I became friends with this freak named Cui Yingying, and I was her only friend.
The meaning of the old ninth master is obvious, Cui Yingying is at home alone, and it is not possible at all, let me take care of his granddaughter.
I couldn't refuse the old ninth master's meaning, so I could only go to the old ninth master's house in a huff, but when I pushed open the courtyard door, I was suddenly startled.
