Chapter 039: Paving the Dark Road
Uncle Niu shook his head, "I don't know either." ”
I sat on the stool and asked in silence for a long time, "Uncle Niu, what else are you lying to me?" ”
He assured: "This is the last thing, and I was afraid that you would not go with me, so I told you so." ”
Since Uncle Niu is not the person who wants to take me to do big things in my father's mouth, then the thing that my father asked me to do is not to go to the Seven Troubles River.
I rubbed my face, and I had two things to do in the future, the first was to find an opportunity to get close to the seventh face, solve my death, and find the cause of my mother's accident; The second is to find the person in my dad's mouth and do the unknown thing that my dad told me.
"Who?" Uncle Niu suddenly jumped up, drew his peachwood sword, and pointed to the compartment and shouted.
I was startled by him, and turned to see Yu Hao leaning against the door of the cubicle, meeting my gaze and smiling faintly.
Uncle Niu dragged me behind him and said coldly, "What are you pestering me for?" ”
Yu Hao's gaze moved away from me, "What are you doing?" ”
"Stubborn." Uncle Niu snorted coldly and took out a Heavenly Thunder Talisman from his pocket.
As soon as I saw that the two of them were about to make a move, I hurriedly blocked in the middle, "If you have something to say, don't do it." ”
I grabbed Uncle Niu's hand and spoke for Yu Hao: "He has been helping me these days. ”
Uncle Niu said earnestly: "Don't be fooled by his appearance, although he looks like you little girls, but he is a ghost in the end." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Hao, "Since the person who killed you is Yu Yang, you should go to him, and now that you are pestering your subordinates, is it possible that your purpose is not to take revenge?" ”
"Of course not." Yu Hao replied very decisively, and said slowly: "I follow the subordinate, naturally not for revenge, but I like her." ”
I was stunned and stared at Yu Hao in surprise.
He hooked his lips and smiled, then said, "I like her, so follow her and protect her." ”
"Nonsense." Uncle Niu darkened his face, "You're dead." ”
Yu Hao's eyes were calm, "I know, I didn't say that she had to accept me." ”
My heart beat faster, my face turned red, and although I knew that he was more of an excuse, I couldn't help but be shy.
It's exciting to think about, and I was actually confessed by a ghost.
Uncle Niu was even more angry, and the green tendons of the hand holding the peachwood sword burst out.
Yu Hao raised two fingers and said, "I swear by my soul that I have no ill will towards Congcong." ”
I ripped Uncle Niu's clothes twice and called him.
Uncle Niu took several deep breaths before calming down his anger and warning Yu Hao: "Although you are not my daughter, you have also grown up under my watch, if you dare to hurt her, you will fight to the death, and I will also scatter your soul." ”
Yu Hao said: "I will never hurt her." ”
Uncle Niu snorted coldly and looked at me, "You also have to have a snack, don't be deceived by his face, you know?" ”
I nodded repeatedly.
"While you have time, you have a good rest first, and when I come back, the sixth master will tell me that we may have a job here." Uncle Niu told me, "When the time is set, I'll come to you." ”
"Okay." I say.
I am very happy in my heart, I can participate in the work given by the sixth master, and I will have the opportunity to get close to those seven faces.
Uncle Niu covered his heart and muttered, "I'm so angry." "Throw your sleeves and leave.
When Uncle Niu walked away, I raised my eyebrows and looked at Yu Hao, "You found such a good excuse." ”
His smile faded, "Maybe it's not an excuse?" ”
"You can pull it down." I pouted and said, "When do I really believe that people are ghosts? ”
I also figured it out, Yu Hao is helping me so much now, he must be able to get what he wants in the process.
In other words, we take what we need.
He sighed helplessly, turned and entered the cubicle.
I filled up the big hole in the ground of the store, and rode an electric car with the jar to the Yuan family's cemetery.
My mother can't tell my second uncle and second aunt about this, so I can only secretly bury my mother in the graveyard first, and then set up a grave for my mother after everything settles.
After burying the jar, I burned a wad of paper money for my mother, and then went to the village, and as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I was stopped by the fourth grandmother next door, and told me that my second uncle was sick and had just been sent to the hospital in the morning.
I chuckled in my heart and was busy calling my second aunt.
The second aunt said: "I was thinking about calling you, we are in the county hospital, come over quickly, your second uncle has been talking about you." ”
I hurried over.
I haven't seen him for half a month, the second uncle has lost weight, his cheeks are sunken, and it is difficult to catch his breath while lying on the hospital bed.
The second aunt wiped her tears and said: "A few days ago, I was busy in the field, and I didn't pay attention to a small cold, who knew that it would be serious like this, but the doctor said that it could be cured, but I had to stay in the hospital for a few days." ”
I walked to the hospital bed and choked up and called out to my second uncle.
He slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: "Cong, I have been dreaming of your milk recently, she said that you are in danger, let you be careful." ”
It's grandma again!
Before, my grandmother said through my second uncle's son Zhiqiang that I was going to have an accident.
"Well, I will." I say.
The second uncle nodded and fell asleep again.
I talked to my second aunt, took out the money left in the card and gave it to my second aunt, and then went back to the store uneasy.
I really couldn't sleep, I told Yu Hao about it, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's because of your death." ”
I took out the small mirror from my bag and looked at it for a long time, but I couldn't see my face at all.
"From the time I learned to read, I couldn't see my own face." I muttered.
Yu Hao said: "Because your life is incomplete. ”
"But why do I see my death in the seventh face?" I couldn't figure this out.
He replied, "That's the weirdness of those faces. ”
I sighed, it seemed that if I wanted to solve the death disaster, I could only rely on that face.
I had something on my mind, I fell asleep in the middle of the night, and before I could sleep for a while, my phone rang.
As soon as I saw that the electric man was Uncle Niu, he said that it was outside the store and asked me to open the door quickly.
I was busy getting up, and when I opened the door, I saw that Du Lei was standing behind him.
Du Lei's face and palms were burned in the Seven Hardships River, but the situation was much better than Jiang Shen's, at least it didn't affect his speech.
"The job given by the sixth master has been determined, and it is the Sun family's compound." Uncle Niu said in a deep voice.
I exclaimed, "The Sun family's compound? ”
No one knows who built the courtyard, because the last person who lived in the courtyard was surnamed Sun, so it was called the Sun family compound.
The Sun family's compound is very evil, there have been three families living before and after, the man of the first family was hit by a car at the door when he went out, and the children of the second family fell into the cellar and starved to death when they were playing in the yard, and it is said that the corpses stinked when they were found.
The last family surnamed Sun, they didn't die when they lived in, but as soon as they moved in, two people began to be unlucky, work and life were not going well, both of them were very healthy, but they couldn't have children.
The couple lived in the yard for five years, sold it at a low price, and heard that within a few months of they moved out, the woman became pregnant.
When I was a child, the old people in the village often scared us by this, and if we were disobedient, they would throw us into the Sun family compound, which caused me to always have an inexplicable fear of the Sun family compound now.
"Yes." Uncle Niu explained: "The sixth master has been bought by that courtyard, let me go over and see what kind of evil method it is." ”
Why did the sixth master buy such an evil yard?
Uncle Niu didn't even bring offerings and incense candles this time, and directly led me and Du Lei to the Sun family's compound.
On the way, Du Lei glanced at me from time to time.
I was a little annoyed by him, "What do you always see me doing?" ”
He said in a weird way: "We took you to the Seven Troubles River and used you to force your father to come out, but he didn't show up from beginning to end, which shows that he doesn't care about you at all." ”
I rolled my eyes and didn't save him face at all: "You were burned by the black powder arranged by my father, and you were resentful, so you came to provoke our relationship?" Shut up, it's useless. ”
I glared at him, hurried to catch up with Uncle Niu, and didn't pay any attention to him.
Uncle Niu turned his head and warned Du Lei with his eyes.
Du Lei stopped,
When we arrived at the Sun family's compound, it was noon, and when we pushed the door in, the yard was full of wild grass and lifeless.
The Sun family's compound is very large, next to the gate are three gatehouses, there are also wing rooms on the left and right, and there is a backyard through the main house.
Uncle Niu walked in the yard with a triple plate, I followed him, and when I passed by the door of the main house, I noticed that the rocking chair at the door of the main house seemed to move.
I pulled Uncle Niu down and whispered, "The rocking chair is moving." ”
Uncle Niu nodded, his expression solemn, "Get out of here first." ”
I craned my neck to look at the triad, and the hands in the gold water were turning in a random manner, and I couldn't see anything wrong with it.
Out of the yard, Uncle Niu said, "This is a ghost nest." ”
My scalp went numb instantly.
"Du Lei, your injury is not healed yet, find a hotel to live in first, I will live here tonight." Uncle Niu said.
I swallowed, "Uncle, why do you want to live here?" ”
He replied, "If you don't live here, how do you know how many ghosts there are?" ”
My legs and stomach were weak, and I thought that the work of the sixth master was really not easy to do.
After Du Lei left, Uncle Niu dragged me to the yard, "You have to get used to these things, I worked with your father back then, and I slept in the coffin in the grave." ”
When I heard this, I wanted to cry.
Uncle Niu said that living here, it was really a simple way to live, he didn't do a dojo, and he didn't paste talisman paper, so he cleaned up a clean place in the living room of the main house, and beckoned him to lie down and sleep.
I lay down nervously and whispered, "Uncle, it's only noon." ”
He hummed and said, "As long as they fall asleep, they dare to come out during the day." ”
After he said this, he began to snore after a while, and I lay down for a while, also holding my bag and falling asleep.
When I was in a daze, I suddenly heard two creaks, and I opened my eyes in a hurry, and saw that the rocking chair placed in the door was shaking slowly.
After a while, the Westinghouse door opened, and a little doll came out rubbing her eyes, calling out to the backyard for Mom, and trotting over.
I looked into the backyard and saw a woman standing at the mouth of the cellar with her head down, her hand open to the child.
The child ran faster and faster, and was about to throw himself into the woman's arms, but the woman suddenly dodged away, and the child fell straight into the cellar.
She jumped into the cellar with the child and never came out.
While I was staring at the cellar entrance, a middle-aged man came out of the Westinghouse with a look on his face, glanced at his wrist, and ran out of the yard.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he happened to drive past a car and crashed directly into his body.
His expression instantly became dull, and he turned around and walked back to the Westinghouse.
I looked at it in a cold sweat on my back.
"That's what happened before they died." Uncle Niu didn't know when he woke up, sat up and said, "Although they are dead, their souls are trapped here and can't leave, so they can only repeat the scene of death over and over again." ”
With that, he stood up and walked over to the rocking chair, "You should go." ”
After the words fell, Uncle Niu took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and slapped it on the rocking chair.
A woman slowly appeared in the rocking chair.
I was shocked, wasn't this the woman standing at the mouth of the cellar just now?
She held the child who jumped into the cellar in her arms, and glared at Uncle Niu with a charming look, "Be quiet, don't wake up my child." ”
I leaned forward, and when I saw the child's face, I gasped.
The child in the woman's arms was bruised, half of her face was bloody, and her legs were drooping back, apparently broken from her knees.
"You ......" Uncle Niu sank his face, and as soon as he said a word, the rocking chair suddenly stopped moving, and the woman disappeared in an instant.
I looked at the front and back yards, but I didn't find the woman, and asked Uncle Niu, "Uncle, what should we do?" ”
Uncle Niu handed me a piece of talisman paper and told me to stand in the sun, and he walked to the door of the West House.
That's when I realized that the Westinghouse door had closed somewhere.
Uncle Niu pushed the door for a long time, but the Westinghouse door just wouldn't open.
He walked out with a calm face and said, "Let's go, go home first." ”
I hurriedly followed, and when I reached the door, I looked back and saw that the woman was standing behind the window of the West Room with the child in her arms, and I finally saw her face clearly.
The corners of her mouth were pulled up by threads, and her nose was left with only two movements, and her eyelids drooped.
"Don't look." Uncle Niu pulled me out of the yard quickly.
He took me to the shop that sold paper coffins in my county, bought two one-person tall paper figures, and brought them back to my shop, took out a cinnabar pen, and wrote my birthday on the backs of the two paper figures.
When he finished writing, he first bit his finger and clicked on the two eyeballs of the paper man.
"You also have two drops of blood." Uncle Niu said.
I was a little drumming in my heart, "Uncle, what are we doing with this?" “
He replied: "Naturally, it is through the yin to rob the soul, that woman can appear in the daytime, which means that she is very resentful, I can't send her away, I can only break her up, but before that, we have to snatch back the two souls she trapped." “
I nodded, "I understand, so why use two paper figures?" ”
"The paper man is originally burned to the yin people, and at night we burn the paper people outside the courtyard, and there is yin energy on the body, and the two unjust souls will think that we are the same kind, and it is easier to go with the two of us." He explained.
It dawned on me that this was the case.
When it got dark, Uncle Niu and I carried two paper figures, loaded with paper money and incense candles, and went to the courtyard of the Sun family again, but this time Uncle Niu did not enter the courtyard, and burned the paper figures directly at the gate of the courtyard, and paved a way from the threshold of the courtyard with ashes.
"Half of the paper money is burned, and half is spread at the gate of the courtyard." He said.
I was busy doing what he said.
After finishing it, he found a willow branch, tied a bell to it, stood at the door, and shouted towards the courtyard: "Du Zixing, Zhao Yong......"
When Uncle Niu shouted their names, the tail was elongated, and he was still a little trembling when he listened.
After shouting seven or eight times, the man and child who had been seen at noon came out of the West House, both of them looking sluggish and walking out with stiff steps.
The child's leg bone was broken, and he rubbed it step by step with his knee.
When she walked to the middle of the courtyard, the rocking chair at the door of the house suddenly shook violently, and the woman sat on it, her expression was grim, but her tone seemed to be coquettish: "Husband, Xiaobao, come home." ”
The man and the child stopped, and the two turned their heads to look at the woman, with a tendency to turn around.
Uncle Niu shook the bell twice, and they trembled and immediately stopped.
"Du Zixing, Zhao Yong......" Uncle Niu began to call again.
The man and the child looked at Uncle Niu again, but they didn't take a step for a long time.
"From Cong, there are red candles in the bag, you light two of them, hold them to their heels, put down the candles and hurry back, don't look back." Uncle Niu said.
If I had put it aside, I wouldn't have dared to do this, but now I thought that I had to let the sixth master see my value, so I gritted my teeth and entered the courtyard with a red candle.
I didn't feel so cold outside in the yard, and the short sleeves I was wearing, as soon as I came in, a cool air hit my body, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps.
The woman looked at me viciously, her hands on the rocking chair, as if she was about to pounce on me in the next moment.
Frightened, I walked over to the man and the child, put the candle at the heels of both of them, turned and walked out.
In the first half of the time, I was still worried about what happened to the woman, but when I saw that I was at the door, I relaxed.
"Alright." I smiled and said to Uncle Niu silently, one leg crossed the threshold.
My dad's voice suddenly came from behind the "Cong ......", and I was really defenseless and turned my head.
There was a click, and the rocking chair shattered into a pile of wood, and a piece of rune paper fell from the rocking chair and turned into ashes in an instant.
It seems that the rocking chair was used to trap the woman.
The woman sitting in the rocking chair came to me in the blink of an eye, and I felt a chill in my heart, and hurriedly stepped back, and the woman grabbed me by the collar and was taken out of the yard by me.
"Yuan Congcong, you are really stupid."
This woman knows my name!
Crossing the threshold, I sat down on the ground, and the woman let go of my collar and ran out on the road that Uncle Niu had paved with ash and paper money.
Uncle Niu threw the willow branch directly to me: "Rattle, then call them." ”
"Oh." I was stunned, and hurriedly got up from the ground, learned Uncle Niu's tone, and called the names of the man and the child.
And Uncle Niu pulled out his peachwood sword and hit the woman, who didn't look at Uncle Niu's house at all, laughed wildly, and said, "I waited for five years, and finally someone let me out." ”
I wanted to help Uncle Niu, but the man and the child walked very slowly, and I couldn't do it.
Uncle Niu was stained with yin energy, and he couldn't use the effect of rune paper, so he fought with her for a while, and he couldn't stand it anymore, the woman made a false move, avoided the peach wood sword in Uncle Niu's hand, rushed towards me, and looked at the child nervously: "Xiaobao, mom is here." ”
She shouted Xiaobao in her mouth, but she came straight to me.
When she was about to catch me, Yu Hao suddenly stood in front of me, kicked the woman in the stomach, and kicked the woman into the yard.
At the same time, the man and the child also rushed out of the courtyard, they walked through the yin road, their originally dull faces returned to normal, bowed to Uncle Niu, and slowly disappeared.
"Xiaobao!" The woman howled and wanted to come out, but no matter how much she tossed, she couldn't get to the door, and finally fell to her knees in despair.
Uncle Niu rushed in and entangled with the woman again, this time with Yu Hao helping by the side, the woman couldn't stand it.
Uncle Niu bit his finger and drew a blood talisman on the peachwood sword, stabbing into the woman's stomach, and the woman let out a roar of biting, which also slapped Uncle Niu's chest.
Yu Hao didn't stop the woman, and Uncle Niu and the woman were both injured and fell to the ground together.
The woman was lying on the ground, her body gradually becoming transparent, and before disappearing, she shouted at me full of resentment: "Yuan Congcong, you will also die." ”
I was shocked that she really knew me.
"Come in." Yu Hao said.
I reacted, hurriedly ran over, and found that Uncle Niu had fainted, and just about to help Uncle Niu up, Yu Hao stopped me and glanced at Uncle Niu, "It's cool in the courtyard, the breeze is gusting, let him rest here, and I'll take you to see the West House." ”
I hesitated, "But, Uncle Niu is still dizzy." ”
He led me to the main house, as if he didn't hear me: "Don't you want to know what's in the Westinghouse?" I don't want to know why that woman knew you? ”
I want to, I want to,
Curiosity overcame my worries about Uncle Niu, and I followed Yu Hao to the door of the West House.
The Westinghouse door, which couldn't be opened during the day, opened when I touched it.
I pulled out my flashlight, shone it in, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! ”
There were seven or eight dummies standing in the room, all with sharp claws and hideous expressions, as if they were about to pounce on them in the next moment.
I turned around to run, but Yu Hao directly took me into his arms and said, "These dummies have no souls, and now they are just a pile of soil." ”
Hearing his words, I calmed down a lot, grabbed his clothes and looked inside, and found that these dummies had been standing like that, not moving.
I breathed a sigh of relief, "Could it be that the woman made these dummies?" ”
Yu Hao thought about it and said, "I don't know, but now that the woman's soul is gone, and she doesn't have a place to ask." ”
With that, he led me into the Westinghouse, and walked around the dummies to the north wall.
The north wall is full of chaotic symbols, which at first glance looks messy, but after looking at it for a long time, I actually feel a little familiar.
After a moment, I exclaimed, "It's all human faces." ”
These symbols make up the overlapping faces of people, and these faces are all angry expressions without exception.
At the bottom of the north wall, there are four small blood-red characters written: Kill Yuan Congcong.
Who's going to kill me?
Yu Hao said: "Erase those four words before Niu Chongtian wakes up." ”
"Why?" I was puzzled.
He replied: "Niu Chongtian is very good to you, but he is loyal to the sixth master, and he will tell the sixth master the truth about the situation here. ”
"Do you mean by hearing this to know who is going to kill me?" I asked, "Is that the man trying to kill me to make so many dummies?" ”
Yu Hao didn't deny it, "When you solve the death disaster, you will naturally know who is going to kill you, and now I tell you, it will only add to your troubles." ”
