After saying goodbye to Xiaowei, he ran back to the village breathlessly, and was really stunned by the scene in front of him, the water of the Qing River spread up the embankment again, and had already flooded the nearest few families on the bank of the river.

The third grandmother was leading a few strong men in the village to carry dirt, sand and gravel to try to stop the menacing flood, and another group of people was organizing the evacuation of the villagers whose homes had been flooded to higher places.

I suddenly remembered that when I found Qian Laoqi's body in the river that day, the river was also flooded, and when I was holding the blood jade, the water receded, so I might as well try it and see if it works today!

I tried to comprehend the blood jade in my chest, recited a few silently, and then looked up at the bottom of the mountain, and found that it didn't work at all, and the water was still fierce.

I didn't think too much, I hurriedly joined the team to save the water, and the third grandmother saw that I had returned to the village, and she didn't care about greetings, so she said simply, "Are you back?" It's good to be back! ”

The villagers closest to the river moved to the mountain, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the river had no intention of receding at all, this kind of scene seemed familiar to me, I was really afraid that as I saw in my dream, all my relatives became corpses floating on the surface of the river.

The third grandmother led the villagers back to the ancestral hall, saying that they were going to have a meeting, and the people she called were all the elders in the village who had passed through the world, and we children were not qualified to go with them.

But I was not idle, I was thinking about a question repeatedly, this is the second attack of the river, will this attack be related to the woman in red in the coffin of Nanmu, if it is related, I will intercede, will the woman let us go!

Looking at the speed of the river, flooding the entire village, that is, a matter of three or two days, if you don't think about it, it is estimated that the whole village will become an ocean.

No, I have to go to the third grandmother quickly!

The elders of the village have gathered in the ancestral hall of the village, and everyone is discussing the strategy of water control, but whenever there is an important matter to discuss in the "half-life village", they will choose this ancestral hall.

It's just that the ancestral hall of the "half-life village" is different from other places, and the ancestral hall in other places may only be the place where a certain patriarch exercises family power.

In order to protect the only monument in the village, the third grandmother led the villagers to paste mud on the plaque hanging in the middle of the ancestral hall, and placed a wooden table and bench in the middle of the house, and the ancestral hall became the meeting room of the village department.

Everyone was talking about it, and the ancestral hall was crowded with men in the village, and the Qian family alone was standing on the right side of the third grandmother.

When I entered the ancestral hall, all eyes were on me.

The third grandmother stood up from the stool, and the other elders also stood up from their positions.

When my father saw me enter the ancestral hall, he hurriedly came over and yelled at me, "What are you doing here, children?" Get me out! ”

I know that my father yelled at me not because I was young, but because I thought I was afraid that I would expose him to my face that he did not obey the "door of life"!

It was the third grandmother who directly gave me the junior step, "A man, what is the matter with you?" Come in and talk! ”

When my father saw that the third grandmother opened her mouth, it was not good to bombard me, so I strengthened my courage and said loudly to the third grandmother, "I want to give it a try when it comes to water control!" ”

"Hehe," the elders around laughed, some with disdainful looks.

A lot of people there scoffed, "Tell me, what can you do?" ”

"I can only say this to the third grandmother alone!" I made up my mind, and although the elders made me feel oppressed, I couldn't easily say what I thought.

"I don't think you have any way, just shout here in vain!" There were sarcastic voices in the crowd.

"Then tell me, what can you do?" The third grandmother yelled at the man who spoke.

The man was silent all of a sudden, and of course he couldn't do anything about it.

"Let a man go!" Another voice appeared, but it was a woman.

The aunt of the Qian family entered the ancestral hall, and I saw that it was Qian Laoqi's daughter-in-law.

"Women's families, come here to say something!"

The third grandmother glared at the person who spoke, "Shut up!" You asked her to say, the Qian family has the most say in this matter, is there anyone more unlucky than the Qian family? ”

Everyone is silent, everyone has a mirror in their hearts, from beginning to end, only the Qian family is dead, how can there be any reason not to let his family speak!

Qian Laoqi's daughter-in-law saw that there was a third grandmother to support her, so she dared to say, "Since Qian Laoqi went crazy, there are women's cries in my house every night, only the night before yesterday, a man stayed in my house for one night, to help me strengthen my courage, I didn't hear anything this night, if you are not convinced, go to me for one night today, if anyone can also suppress this female ghost, I will naturally not say anything?" If you don't have the courage, then stand aside obediently and give a man a chance! ”

Although Qian Lao's seventh daughter-in-law didn't speak loudly, she was on the point, looking at the elders in the village, some nodded, and some shook their heads, obviously weighing this matter.

I understand their worries, after all, this is a major matter related to the life and death of the village, so it was handed over to a hairy boy, and it is normal to be uneasy.

I obediently withdrew from the ancestral hall, after all, I had to give the elders room to discuss, if I was just a result.

After a while, the elders left the ancestral hall one after another, and a few minutes later, I was called into the house again by the third grandmother.

There were only two people left in the house, the third grandmother and the father.

My dad smoked his cigarette pouch and sighed one after another, he knew that this was a big deal, and looking at his expression, I felt that he really regretted it!

Actually, I don't blame him, I left the village for one night, I thought a lot, no one is willing to put this matter on anyone, let people not marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of their lives, who can be happy!

"A man, how sure are you about this?" It was the third grandmother who asked me.

"No, not a single point!"

"If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work! Have you forgotten all the instructions your father gave you before? Dad yelled at me again.

"Dad, I know, I haven't forgotten it, it's just that this matter has something to do with our Liu family after all, and I can't ignore it!"

"Then you say, what are you doing?"

"I want to beg the woman in Nanmu's coffin, after all, after all, she gave me a dream!"

"Really? She has dreamed for you, what is it that she dreamed of? "The third grandmother asked me.

What to say! In fact, I only had two dreams after I went home, the first time I was at my uncle's house, I did something like that with the woman in red, and the second time was at Qian Laoqi's house, I saw the corpse floating in the river, although the second time I didn't see the woman in red, but I always felt that it had something to do with the woman in red.

I can't give the fragrant spring dreams of that night one by one, the corpses floating on the river on the second night still make me frightened, I quickly repeated it to the third grandmother!

"'The Liu family is not trustworthy, harming the Suoyin family, where are all the staff going, the flowers on the other side of the village!' The third grandmother read the Tibetan poem I dreamed of, and analyzed it seriously, "So you think that the hair water has something to do with the Liu family!" ”

"Yes!" I nodded, "The so-called bell unlocking still needs to tie the bell, so I want to try!" ”

"Then you decide that this water has something to do with that woman!"

"This, I'm not sure, because it was Qian Laoqi who flooded last time, and when the water dragged Qian Laoqi into the river, I held the blood jade, and the water receded, but this time it was not good!"

"What you mean is that the first time the water is related to Qian Laoqi, the woman made it clear that she wants to seek revenge with Qian Laoqi, and the second time she sent water, what is going on, you are not sure, because when you held the blood jade, the water did not return like the first time!" The third grandmother said to me.

"Well, yes, but I still want to give it a try, in case this time it really has something to do with that woman, I'll go and plead, maybe it will work!" I still persisted.

"Actually, a man, Qinghe is not the Qinghe of the past for a long time!" The third grandmother said to me with a solemn face, and I could see the sadness in her eyes.
