Chapter 16: Where the Body Is

For the next two days, I lay in bed with a headache all the time, and finally I just went with the flow and slept with the quilt over my face.

I slept in the hospital for two days in a row, and on the third day, Aunt Ma woke me up and asked me what I wanted to eat.

I slapped my thigh and said, "Don't eat anything, hurry back to Wodu River!" ”

The time to leave the hospital was half past seven in the morning, the bright morning sun swayed in the sky, Ma Da Niang took the tribute to the fox fairy that day bought here that day, took a taxi and went straight to the jungle at the entrance of the village north of the Wodu River.

After getting off the bus, the taxi driver left, and Ma Damiang opened the plastic bag and took out the yellow paper, glutinous rice, pig's trotters, white candles and other objects in turn and placed them neatly.

took out a lighter, lit a white candle, knelt on the ground and said with trepidation: "The fox fairy is above, the junior is below, there are resentful ghosts in the yang, I want the life of my old sister's grandson, please appear quickly." ”

After speaking, she took out a piece of talisman paper from her bosom, lit it with a lighter and threw it into the small bowl containing glutinous rice in front of her, and folded a pair of chopsticks and inserted them into the pig's trotters.

Seeing Aunt Ma like this, I knelt on the ground in front of the tribute with a "poof", and said loudly: "The fox fairy is above, the junior is polite!" ”

After finishing speaking, there were a few knocks on the head and a bang.

Aunt Ma knows my character better, and she really has no scheming, and it doesn't matter if she really needs to bang her head or not, she just knocks it with her heart.

After kowtowing, I turned my head and asked Aunt Ma, "Aunt Ma, how is it?" ”

Aunt Ma nodded, and the two of us stood up and were just about to leave the tribute, when we didn't have time to pat the dust on our bodies, when we suddenly saw the chopsticks on the pig's trotters fall and fall to the ground.

I looked confused, what's going on? How can chopsticks fall out?

I saw Aunt Ma fixed her eyes, and then squatted down and reinserted the chopsticks on the pig's trotters, and said, "Fox fairy, please use it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chopsticks that had been deeply inserted into the pig's trotters fell to the ground again!

My legs went limp, and my heart sank for a moment.

It is said that the chopsticks are very tight when inserted into the meat, and this insertion is inserted twice in a row, how can the chopsticks fall out and fall to the ground?

Aunt Ma frowned, and stubbornly inserted the chopsticks again, this time it can be seen that she used a lot of strength.

She patted me on the shoulder and said, "Jiezi, let's go forward!" ”

Just turned his head to leave, only to hear a muffled "pop", and the chopsticks fell to the ground again!

"Aunt Ma, what's going on?" After inserting chopsticks several times and dropping chopsticks, my heart was already panicking.

Aunt Ma was unhappy or angry on her face, and said to me: "It's bad now, I didn't invite the fox fairy." ”

"I think it should be that the resentment here is too deep, and the fox fairy is unwilling to come forward to help, so this is why it is like this." Things have developed so far that it seems to have tied a dead knot.

When I was in my hometown a few days ago, the fox fairy had already pointed out to Aunt Ma that Cai Weiwei's body should be buried here.

However, now that strange appearances are frequent, Aunt Ma thinks that she must invite the fox fairy once, so that the two of us can safely dig out Cai Weiwei's body.

However, she tried to invite the fox fairy, but she couldn't move it anyway!

In fact, I also thought about it, even if we didn't invite the fox fairy, it was not impossible for the two of us to start digging the jungle to find Cai Weiwei, but the key is, what about after digging?

Countless ghosts and ghosts hovern here, am I dead or alive?

Aunt Ma knelt down in front of the tribute again, and kept chanting the mantra, and when I was at a loss, she quickly turned around and said, "Jiezi, let's go back to Old Lady Feng's house!" ”

Stuffed all the tributes back into the plastic bag in turn, walked all the way to the village, and when she walked to the door of Old Lady Feng's house, Aunt Ma stopped.

She asked me to take out the tribute and put it in front of her house, and I was confused, thinking to myself, didn't Cai Weiwei's body be in the jungle at the entrance of the village in the north?

How did you go to Old Lady Feng's house to do it?

I followed Aunt Ma's instructions, all the tributes were placed, Aunt Ma snatched the chopsticks from my hand, knelt in front of the tribute, and said in her mouth: "The fox fairy is above, help!" ”

She held two chopsticks in her hand, shook them twice over the pig's trotters, and slammed them in.

This time, the chopsticks never fell out again, and they were firmly inserted into the pig's trotters.

I quietly glanced at Aunt Ma, who stood up, pointed to the tightly closed door of Old Lady Feng's house, and said softly: "It turns out that the two of us have approached Cai Weiwei's body countless times before, and Cai Weiwei's body is not somewhere else, it is in Old Lady Feng's house." ”

I was surprised and delighted, I really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and I had to work hard, it turned out that Cai Weiwei's body was hidden in Mrs. Feng's house!

Aunt Ma drove forward and gently pushed open the door of Old Lady Feng's house, and I followed her and walked in.

This time was different from the last big wedding, this time the courtyard was very quiet, there were no other people, only Old Lady Feng sat at the small wooden table in the corner and ate alone.

I said, "Without further ado, I'll go in and ask this old lady Feng about Cai Weiwei!" ”

I was about to rush in and ask her straight to the point, but Aunt Ma grabbed my arm, hurriedly stopped me and said, "Don't go in now, Old Lady Feng is not the last time we saw her, she is very wrong now." ”

I looked at the old lady Feng in front of the small wooden table, and saw that she was dressed as a simple Han peasant woman, and her white hair was neatly combed, which was not significantly different from the last time.

Aunt Ma snorted coldly, glanced at me, and said to me: "You told me that you saw your grandmother in the jungle that night, dressed in black plain clothes and riding a bicycle, in fact, it was not your grandma, it must be her!" ”

I rubbed my eyes carefully, and looked at it, yes, yes, the clothes on Mrs. Feng's body were the same black plain clothes, but there was a dark blue scarf on the outside of the clothes.

Turning his head to look at the gate, there was a dilapidated bicycle parked there, which was the same dilapidated bicycle that "Grandma" rode that night.

Looking at Mrs. Feng's hand again, it was no different from the hand of "Grandma" I saw that night, the skin was covered with bones, like two dead tree roots.

I was startled, looked back at Aunt Ma, and stammered, "Is this...... This...... This ......"

Aunt Ma said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, when you were far away from you, it was she who you saw, but it was not her who tore and fought with you, and wanted to put you to death. ”

There was a loud buzz in my head, yes, yes, at first I could only see the general outline of her body when she was far away from me, but when she got closer to me, she became my dead grandmother.

Is she a human or a ghost?

In this antique deep mansion compound, Cai Weiwei's body is hidden here!

When I came to Mrs. Feng's face, I was shocked, looking at her face full of ravines and full of vicissitudes, it was indeed the old woman I saw riding a dilapidated bicycle that night.

Old Lady Feng ate the last bite of food in the bowl, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and turned around and walked towards the kitchen behind her. I had the courage to follow her inside.

I quickly took out a photo of Cai Weiwei from my arms, handed it to her, and said, "The girl on this photo is exactly the same as the paper figure you married, she is your daughter Cai Weiwei." ”

"I'm blind and can't see anything." Hearing Mrs. Feng say this, I was suddenly shocked, looking at Mrs. Feng in front of me, she didn't raise her head to look at me from beginning to end, her eyes were always open.

It turned out that she was blind!

I said softly: "Aunt Feng, I am Cai Weiwei's friend, although my feelings are very deep, but I am not a boyfriend. ”

Old Lady Feng smiled and said, "If she lives to be in her thirties today, how can she talk about boyfriend and girlfriend with a child like you?" I advise you, young man, to hurry up. ”

After saying that, she hesitated slightly, and then asked, "Do you really want to see her?" ”

I nodded quickly.

I saw her touch the wall, walked all the way to the door of a dark room, pushed open the door and said to me, "You come in with me." ”
