Chapter 14 Re-entry into the Grove

Hearing what the old man said, Village Chief Song also took a big sip of his wine glass, and then muttered, "Dry... Mausoleum"

Grandpa's face instantly became gloomy when he heard these two words, and with a "snap", the wine glass held by his grandfather was pinched and shattered, Xiaoxue had never seen this expression of grandpa, since Xiaoxue remembered, the old man was kind, except for occasionally scolding his father, but it was not as terrifying as today.

Xiaoxue wanted to ask what Qianling was, but she didn't dare to open her mouth when she saw her grandfather's terrifying expression, she just secretly remembered it in her heart, wanting to figure out what this Qianling was when she grew up, so that her grandfather could check his words.

It didn't take long for the old man's expression to return to normal, and he shook off the hand that had been punctured by the glass slag, and bright red blood flowed out.

Xiao Xue asked politely: "Grandpa, your hand is bleeding." ”

The old man shook his head and then said, "Xiaoxue, I have something to discuss with the village chief, you can go play first!" ”

Although Xiaoxue felt that her grandfather was very strange today, she didn't think much about it, went back to the store and took a few cents, and called Tang Yun'er to be chic at the village entrance supply and marketing cooperative. On the way, Tang Yun'er asked about Song Xuanyi: "I heard my mother say that Song Xuanyi is evil, is it really fake?" ”

"There's no such thing, it's just that I caught a cold and had a fever in the water that day," Xiaoxue said and took a bite of "cream ice cream"

When she went home in the evening, Xiaoxue just entered the house and saw her father and grandfather sitting in the yard as if they were discussing something, and found that Xiaoxue was back, and the two hurriedly changed the topic.

waited until the end of the meal, grandpa said that he was going out to visit the door, Xiaoxue also wanted to go, but he didn't expect his father to be unhappy, saying that grandpa was going out to do errands, so that Xiaoxue would be obedient and tutor at home.

For things involving grandpa's business, parents and grandpa never let Xiaoxue know, sometimes Jianguo said that he missed his mouth, and grandpa would scold Jianguo fiercely, but he didn't expect grandpa to speak at this time, looking a little helpless: "Let Xiaoxue follow me, some things have to be let her know sooner or later"

Xiaoxue didn't expect her grandfather to take her with her, it seemed that she was one step closer to understanding her physique, and shouted at the moment: "Grandpa wait for me, I'll go get a flashlight!" ”

The old man spent a long time in the hall and finally came out with a gray cloth bag, which was not very large, but was stuffed and bulging. The old man went out with Xiaoxue and walked to the woods of haunted water.

"Grandpa, are we going to find out who raised the water ghost?" Xiaoxue asked as she walked.

"Think about it, the river is so shallow, it's hard to kill yourself even if you want to!"

The two were walking, and the old man seemed to be bored, so he explained.

Xiao Xue thought about it for a while, felt that it was also such a reason, and nodded slowly. Ordinary people are uncomfortable when they choke on a few sips of water, let alone commit suicide in such a shallow river. Survival is a human instinct.

The old man said again: "Since it is not a suicide, it is that he killed, and no one is missing in our vicinity, it seems that it was obtained from somewhere else, although the water ghost is resentful, but after all, it can't get out of the water, and the thing of that day is hidden in the soil cave, obviously with a certain sanity, the naturally formed ghosts are not sanity, only artificially raised things can produce intelligence, just like dogs, after following people for a long time, they can naturally understand people's words, and even distinguish people's eyes." ”

"Sanity? I've only heard of IQ, and it's the first time I've heard the word "Xiaoxue doesn't seem to understand."

The old man glanced at the moon and patiently explained,

"To put it simply, if a baby lives with a fool since he was a child, then he will become a fool when he grows up, and if he lives with a normal person, he will be the same as a normal person, including the way of thinking, if a person lives with a rich businessman, then that person will do business even if he doesn't learn and don't know how to do it."

"Oh... Is that dad too, if you don't learn any skills, you will also order Taoist techniques" Xiaoxue's eyes rolled and smiled slyly.

"You're a girl, you're a big ghost!" The old man grinned and touched Xiaoxue's head.

After a short time, the two of them walked to the riverbank grove, and as soon as the old man entered the woods, he took out a handful of iron sand from the cloth bag and sprinkled it at the root of the tree. "Whew... "A puff of white smoke rose from the roots of the tree.

"Old Song's guess is really right, these trees are watered with human blood, who is the one who has laid down such a big game, this tree has been at least twenty years," the old man took a cool breath, and a flash of anger flashed on his face.
