I looked at him in a daze, "Uncle, what are you beating me for?" ”

Zhao Yi laughed embarrassedly twice, "I'm not afraid that there will be dirt on you, it's okay now, you go to sleep." ”

"Oh......" I looked at him a few times, then turned and went inside.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong with Zhao Yi using rune paper to test me, but I couldn't think of what he was going to do.

Lao Yutou came back in the middle of the night and came to my house to wake me up.

"Dad, where have you been?" I rubbed my eyes and sat up, turned on the light and saw that the old man was wet and his feet were covered with mud.

At first sight, my hairs stood on end, and I thought that something had happened to him like Lamei, so I was busy grabbing his hand, and I felt that his hand was hot, and I was relieved.

Old Yu hung a stone that was still dripping water around my neck, "Wear it well, don't take it off, don't give it to anyone, you know?" ”

"Hmm." Seeing that his expression was very solemn, I nodded busily.

Old Yu wiped his face tiredly, "You go back to sleep, I'll go wash." With that, he closed the door and left.

I touched the stone around my neck, although it was dark and not slippery, but it was very round to the touch, as if it had been specially polished, like a pebble.

It took a long time before I remembered that I didn't ask him what it was, and I was busy jumping off the ground to chase him.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Yi squatting beside Lao Yutou and talking to him.

"I said Lao Yu, you just tell me the truth, how did the soil come from?" Zhao Yi said meaninglessly.

Old Yu glanced at him and said lightly: "How can it come about, it was born." ”

Zhao Yi snorted and said: "You don't fool me, I thought that Tuzi had a heavy yin qi, and there was a problem with her life, but I calculated it a few days ago, and I couldn't calculate her life at all, and I specially tried it with the ghost suppression talisman tonight, and the rune paper did not react, indicating that there was no other soul on her, if she hadn't used the means, she shouldn't have been born at all!" ”

For a moment, I was cold and stood behind the door.

Old Yu slowly poured the water on his hand into the yard, dried his hands, and looked at Zhao Yi with a solemn expression: "Tomorrow, bury Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law, and put on a short bun at night, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you leave now, it's too late, after tonight, no matter what purpose you get involved, you won't be able to leave until the matter is over." ”

"What are you going to do, can you do it without my help?" Zhao Yi glared angrily, "I want to go and chase me all day long, I won't tell you, I'll go to sleep." ”

After saying that, he fled back to the house.

Old Yu stood in the courtyard with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking......

I didn't have the heart to ask about the stone anymore, so I lay back on the bed like a wandering spirit, tossing and turning and falling asleep, and only squinted when it was almost dawn.

After getting up, I ate something casually, and followed Lao Yutou to Lian Sheng's house.

Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law's coffin was just in the middle of the courtyard, covered with a white cloth.

Old Yu specially wore a decent Taoist robe today, holding a peachwood sword in his hand, but because he was thin and thin, he looked more like a swaggering half-hung Taoist priest.

Lao Yutou first tied a red thread to the little finger of Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law's right hand, wrapped the other end around his own wrist, and then used chicken blood mixed with cinnabar to draw a Taoist talisman on the white cloth on the coffin.

After painting, the coffin was whipped nine times with the freshly folded wicker, and a yin and yang gossip diagram was drawn around the coffin, and then the wicker was placed on a white cloth, and an unlit red candle was placed on the coffin lid.

Get these ready, it's almost twelve o'clock.

Old Yu looked at his watch, and at exactly twelve o'clock, he held a peachwood sword, and chanted while circling the coffin: "The soul willow spirit, the nine orifices are clear, the outside has four images, and the inside is full of five elements......"

It was obviously under the sun, but I felt that the courtyard was extremely cold, and the coffin seemed to be emitting black gas, and white cloth was fluttering.

In the end, the old man yelled quickly, and I only heard four words clearly: Om soul comes.

With a bang, he directly slapped the peachwood sword on the coffin, and the red line was pulled tightly, and the old man was almost knocked into the coffin.

He tugged the red thread, his wrists were purple, and his forehead was bruised, as if he was tug-of-war with someone.

"Oh no, he can't hold it anymore." Zhao Yi said in a deep voice, turned around and dragged me forward, took out a knife from his pocket and made a cut in my hand, and pressed my hand on the peach wood sword used by Lao Yutou.

As soon as I touched the white cloth, it was as if I had fallen into the fire in an instant, and my whole body was burning with pain.

Tears came down my face, and I wanted to take my hand back, but I didn't have the strength to do it.

"Don't be afraid...... The stone on his neck suddenly became cold, the sound of his yellow paper face rang in his ears, and a slightly cool palm was covered on his wrist, and the burning sensation gradually weakened.

I sniffed, inexplicably at ease.

The gate was blown open with a clang, and a gust of wind blew into the courtyard.

Suddenly, there was a woman's scream, and a bloody handprint appeared on the white cloth out of thin air, and at the same time, the candle placed on the coffin lid suddenly lit.

I was shocked, the cry just now was obviously not from Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law, but I was inexplicably familiar with it, but I couldn't remember who it was!

The red line broke suddenly, and the old man snorted and sat directly on the ground.

Zhao Yi pulled me aside and tied the coffin with the white cloth on the red thread on Lao Yutou's hand.

The old man relieved for a while, carefully moved the red candle into the house, and burned a lot of paper money and ingots in the brazier, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?" He looked at the wound on my hand and glared at Zhao Yi, "Thanks to Tuzi, it's okay, if she is injured, I will fight with you." ”

"How can you be so good at relying on this person, if I hadn't dragged Tuzi over in a hurry just now, and used the yin qi on her body to deal with that person, would you be able to snatch back the soul of Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law so smoothly?" Zhao Yi retorted: "You have time to threaten me, why don't you find out who snatched the soul of Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law?" ”

I suddenly became enlightened, no wonder the daughter-in-law of Lian Sheng hanged but couldn't find the soul, it turned out that the soul was snatched away.

Could it be that the person who snatched the soul was the woman who screamed just now?

But why did she snatch the soul of her winning daughter-in-law?

As soon as I figured it out, I was dizzy again.

Lao Yutou didn't fight with him anymore, and said: "Who is it, you will know if you break the top four games at night." Then he went to find someone to carry the coffin and set off.

Zhao Yi walked slowly with me at the end of the line, and he said with a smile: "Your father has a good heart, and he has made great efforts to snatch back the soul of his winning daughter-in-law, so as not to make her an ownerless and lonely soul." ”

I listened with my chest straight, and of course my dad had a good heart.

When I walked to the graveyard of Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law, I was taken aback that the old man wanted to bury her in the old deserted grave by the river!

Zhao Yi was also very surprised, and looked at Lao Yutou with a deep face.

I stood on the edge of the old deserted grave and didn't go in, watching the old man bury the coffin, and I always felt that there was something in the woods staring at us in the old deserted grave.

I was hesitating to tell Lao Yutou when I suddenly heard Lamei's voice, "Don't come at night, don't put on short buns." ”

How did she know we were going to dwarf buns in the evening?

"Lamei?" I tried to scream, but there was no response, and the feeling of being stared at was gone.

After burying Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law, Lao Yutou hurriedly took people away.

After returning home for lunch, Lao Yutou took out a set of red clothes for me to wear.

I shook my head, frowned, and said, "I don't wear it." ”

The clothes were made of yarn, like the shroud worn by the old man in the village.

Grandma didn't let her, she wanted to snatch the clothes away, but the old man was rarely strong, "Her grandma, you have to listen to me about this, otherwise Tuzi won't live long." ”

In the end, grandma couldn't resist the old man, and sat on the side to wipe her tears and sulk.

The old man said to my grandmother while dressing me: "Her grandmother, everyone has their own life, this is the life of Tuzi." ”

"I don't care what my life is, if something happens to Tuzi tonight, I will try my best to let you pay for your life." Grandma cried.

Zhao Yi patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, you won't let Tuzi have an accident." ”

I pouted, he used me three times and twice, and I could count on him to protect me.

After getting dressed, Lao Yutou saw that it was still early, so he asked me to go back to the house to sleep, and he and Zhao Yi were going to go up the mountain.

I didn't dare to make trouble for Lao Yutou, so I obediently went back to the house.

I was really sleepy, and I fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.

But when I fell asleep, something was wrong, a chill began to spread from my chest, and there was a cool air blowing on me.

Instinctively, I touched the side, trying to find the quilt cover, but I touched the cold corner of my clothes.

I snapped my eyes open and met the yellow paper face directly.

"Hmm......" Before he could react, he was covered by someone.

The face leaned forward again, and he said, "It's me, Xiao Yu." ”

I blinked my eyes to show I knew.

He let go of my mouth, his hand gradually slid down, and put it on my neck, and his voice was uncertain: "You want to go up the mountain tonight?" ”

"Hmm." I answered, looking nervously at me, always feeling that something was wrong with him tonight.

"Do you know whose stone it belongs to?" He rubbed the stone that the old man had given me.

"I don't know." I shook my head and said, "Do you know whose it is?" ”

He chuckled and said, "Mine, a dowry for you!" ”

What's that?

"I don't want it!" I immediately refused, I knew what the dowry was for, of course I couldn't ask for it.

He leaned close to me, his face on the yellow paper rubbing against my neck, "Why?" ”

It seemed to be colder, and I craned my neck and whispered, "I'm not your daughter-in-law." ”

There was a slight coolness on his lips, and a soft thing was pasted through the paper.

My eyes widened, was he kissing me?

"Now it is." He smiled faintly, his hands tightening around my waist......
