Chapter 3 Wang Ba dies in lieu of death
His eyes flickered, he looked at the black water in the basin and said, "I don't know yet." ”
I then asked, "Now that the yin qi has been washed, can my grandfather's soul come back?" ”
He said that the murderer behind the scenes must be found out first, otherwise even if the soul returns, it will be taken away again. Before I could ask how to check, his eyes swept up in my house, because my family was poor, there were three houses in total, one hall house, two side rooms, and the kitchen was outside.
There is also a shrine in the center of the hall dedicated to the god of the river.
The man in black glanced at it a few times, walked straight towards the river god's throne, and stretched out his hand.
I couldn't help but scream. He turned to look at me. We have lived by the river for generations, and we believe in the river god the most, and it is easy not to stretch out our hands to the god of the river god.
It was only a second, his hand continued to reach over, and tore off the red paper with the word river god written on it, and after tearing it off, he grabbed something from it, and I hurriedly got up, only to see that he was holding a black king in his hand.
I wondered in my heart, who put a king behind the back of the river god?
But the black-shirted man asked me not to look at it, saying, it's dead, Wang Ba died in his place, I'm afraid your grandfather's soul was dedicated to the water ghost.
I chuckled, I lived by the river, of course, I had heard of water ghosts, people drowned and became water ghosts, if water ghosts want to be reincarnated, they have to find a substitute for the dead ghosts. If that's the case, then Grandpa's situation is not very dangerous now.
I asked the black-shirted man to save my grandfather quickly, but he said that he was not in a hurry, since someone released Wang Ba in your house, it means that he made a deal with the water ghost, but the dead Wang Ba has not been sent to the water ghost, so the transaction is not completed.
As he spoke, the black-shirted man put the Dead King Eight back behind the river god's throne.
I said to the black-shirted man, if I want to keep an eye on this god now, if someone comes, I will immediately catch him.
The black-shirted man became speechless, but he didn't answer my words, but said: "Zhang Yan, although your grandfather and I are old acquaintances, but I am helping you now, the name is not right, should you give me a name?" ”
I didn't understand it for a moment, so I asked, "What do you mean?" ”
He said, "Then when you figure it out, I'll come back to you." With that, he walked out of the house, and when I shouted, he ignored me. At this time, I realized that I still didn't know what his name was, and when I came back to my senses, I found that he was gone.
Not long after he left, the sky was polished, and the second grandfather walked in from outside, looking a little tired, I asked the second grandfather if it was okay?
The second grandfather waved his hand, said, it's okay, and then asked me how is the grandfather?
I said the same, but when I met a master, my grandfather might have been saved. The second grandfather stared at me suspiciously, and I told Duan Gong about his return and meeting the man in black shirts.
The second grandfather was stunned for a while, and then he spat out and said: "If this is the case, your grandfather will be saved, Xiaoyan, he is so sure, will anyone come back to get this Wang Ba?" ”
I shook my head and said, he didn't say it, but if you want to complete this deal with the water ghosts, you have to take the Dead King.
The second grandfather saw that what I said made sense, so he said that I will stare at it with you to see if it is the one who dares to kill my brother. The second grandfather spoke, his expression was a little terrifying. However, the people who came to get the king's eight did not dare to come during the day, and if they did, they would come at night.
I asked the second grandfather to go back and rest first, after all, it was hard all night.
The second grandfather answered.
At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the sky was completely clear, and I don't know who spread the news of my grandfather's death.
Some people couldn't help but cry on the spot when they saw my grandfather's fate.
As the host, I had to comfort a few words, and one of the women knelt in front of her grandfather and wept loudly, with a handful of snot and tears. The woman's face was also born, and she was about forty-five years old.
I couldn't help but ask why she was crying so sadly.
She glanced at me, her eyes were red and said: "Your grandfather is a good person, my daughter drowned in the river some time ago, and it was your grandfather who personally salvaged the body, so that my daughter fell to the ground, but I didn't expect your grandfather to fall into this fate now." ”
The woman's words made me feel more open-minded, did my grandfather fish for a female corpse by the Yellow River a few days ago? Why didn't I hear him tell me?
I couldn't help but ask her how old was her daughter?
It may be that the woman thinks that we are in the same disease now, so she confided in me a few more words, her daughter just turned 19 years old this year, her name is Xiao Wanwan, she also showed me the photo, I took it and looked at it, only one glance, my eyes can no longer be taken off.
Isn't this the girl who came to me that night and took the black bracelet from my house? Grandpa woke up halfway through and mentioned it once.
I was fascinated, but it never occurred to me that the girl was dead.
The woman sobbed and said, "My daughter is very sensible, and she can marry at this age, but unfortunately her life is short."
I told the woman not to be sad, and then asked, where is her daughter buried? said that one day on behalf of the grandfather to give the girl a pillar of incense. The woman said that I had a heart, and then she told me that I was buried in Turtle Ridge in the North Mountain.
After sending these people away, the second grandfather called me to his house for dinner at noon, and the second grandfather was the village chief and organized a team to collect corpses, so he also made a lot of money. He also once persuaded his grandfather to join, so that life would not be so bitter, but my grandfather had a strong temper, so he said that he didn't join, and often fished out corpses for free, which made the corpse collection team in the village lose a lot.
But who called my grandfather the brother of the second grandfather, he can't do anything about my grandfather. Fortunately, the most important thing in the Yellow River is corpses, so the corpse salvage team does not make a lot of money.
When I went out, I locked the door.
The second grandfather built a two-story house in the village, with foreign tiles on the outside. It looks brand new.
When I arrived at the second grandfather's house, the second grandfather's children were all working in the city, and his grandson was also studying in the city, saying that the education outside was good, so he was the only one in the family.
He cooked food, brought me some wine, and said something about my grandfather, saying that my grandfather was confused, and that he had done a lot of good things in his life, but there was no good reward. Blame God for not having long eyes. The second grandfather told me a lot about my grandfather, and when I talked and talked, I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
Leaving the second grandfather's house, the wine was still a little up.
But when I got to the door, I found the open wooden door, and my wine was gone, and my house was burglarized? I hurried home, my house was poor and white, and there was nothing for the thief to worry about. I subconsciously looked towards the river god's position, only to see that the red paper had been torn apart. Looking closely, the dead king is gone.
My heart sank immediately, and I ran towards my second grandfather's house in three steps and two steps.
When the second grandfather heard this, his face turned pale.
The most feared thing still happened, the second grandfather asked me to ask the man in black shirts, but I didn't know his whereabouts at all. He said he would come to me.
At present, the most knowledgeable person is Li Duangong.
I calmed down a little and asked the second grandfather, "Otherwise, I'd better go to Li Duangong." ”
An hour later, my grandfather and I went to Li Duangong's house, Li Duancheng was eating, and when he saw me coming, he said before I could speak: "I can't help you in this matter, he has already intervened, and I can't handle it." ”
Li Duangong said that he was a man in a black shirt.
The second grandfather looked solemn, but he still told the matter again. The person is not there, and there are still some things that have to be asked to Li Duangong.
Li Duangong didn't answer in a hurry, but asked me, what do the black-shirted people think about this?
I said that the man in the black shirt didn't say it, he just said that he needed a name to help me, what does this mean, please make it clear? I'm like an ant on a hot pan now, trying to grasp this life-saving straw.
Li Duangong's face sank, his eyes were broken, and he looked a little crazy in the middle of the day, and after a while, he suddenly looked surprised, in the name, he muttered, and said in a somewhat surprised tone, Zhang boy, he means to let you worship him as a teacher, so that he can help you in the name of master and apprentice.
As Li Duangong spoke, he began to look at me with one of his unique eyes, and I was a little uncomfortable when I saw it, and I had goosebumps all over my body, and said for a while: "I don't see anything strange about you, why did he take a fancy to you and take you as an apprentice." ”
