Chapter 27: The Ancestral Village

Leaving the man's house, the three of them walked towards the hospital again, Chen Hui's burden was still in the hospital, and he had to go back to get the baggage. According to Chen Hui's meaning, he wanted to send the two of us home first, and then he would come back to find the little man slowly, in his own words, the little man made it like this, more or less related to him.

In fact, what we do is like an external intervener, forcibly intervening in the cause and effect of others. But all this kind of thing has a cause and effect, just like there is a saying in contemporary times, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, cause and effect are the same as this principle. But what is cause and effect, and what is cause and effect? To put it in the vernacular, it is the car and the rut, the car is the cause, the rut is the effect, the car walks over on the road and leaves the rut, this is the cause and effect, if there is no car, there is no rut, that is, if you don't do those things, there will be no retribution.

Some people may see this and ask, I have never done any bad things since I was a child, and I have often done good deeds, why do I still find these things? Why, because there are many kinds of "causes", you haven't done anything bad in your life, so do you dare to guarantee that you were a good person in your last life? People are born to repay debts and atone for their sins, and we can't do anything about the things of the previous life, it depends on what you do in this life.

At present, there is also a cause and effect between this man and the little man, if it continues to develop normally from beginning to end, that is, the little man first uses evil magic to solicit business, which is a cause, and then incurs the jealousy of the woman, and indirectly kills the little man's wife, which is the result of the little man.

Then, the woman kills the little man's wife, and the woman sows the cause, and the little man uses evil magic to harm their whole family, and the woman is haunted by female ghosts, which is the result of the woman's harm, and then the development goes down, and the man's whole family will be killed by the little man with evil magic, and the cause and effect of the man's family ends here.

The little man killed the man's whole family, and the little man planted the cause, and he had to get a greater result in the end. This is the causal cycle.

However, halfway through this cycle of cause and effect, Chen Hui appeared, and Chen Hui belonged to an external intervener, intervening in the cause and effect between them, and then involved me and Qiang Shun. We all intervened in their cause and effect, and this cause and effect also changed the final outcome because of our intervention.

The man's family is fine, and the little man is stupid.

Chen Hui said that the little man is like this, which has more or less something to do with him, in fact, this is how he came. However, if we hadn't intervened and allowed things to develop, it would have been much more serious than the current outcome. The man's whole family will definitely not be able to be saved, and the little man will also suffer evil retribution in the future, and the retribution in the future will definitely be much more serious than the stupidity now, and if it is not done well, it will affect his parents or the next generation. I can't imagine what it will be like at that time.

Straight to the point. Chen Hui summed it up, the little man should not be able to run far if he is crazy and stupid, if he can find him, send him to the hospital and treat him, it is best to be cured, if he can't be cured, he will inquire and send the little man back to his hometown. At that time, I didn't feel that Chen Hui was stupid like this, if he really sent a fool back to someone's family, would the family be able to spare him? If this is still the time of famine in the 60s, it is estimated that Chen Hui will be like his ancestor Qingshi Daoren, in order to save others, he is willing to commit suicide and let others eat him.

We soon came to the hospital, went to the ward to pack our luggage, and before we could get out of the room, we were blocked by the head nurse of their hospital, who asked us with an unkind face where the patient had gone, and we didn't see him during the ward rounds in the morning.

We had nothing to hide, so we told the head nurse truthfully, saying that the little man had run away in the middle of the night, and we had been looking for it since midnight and we hadn't found it yet. As soon as the head nurse heard that he didn't say anything, he asked us to bring in the patient's family, and Chen Hui said that the patient's family would come to the hospital in the afternoon to go through the formalities.

The head nurse said that it would be better to find the patient and let the patient stay in the hospital for a while longer, and then she took an object out of her pocket and asked if it was ours.

When we saw it, it was actually the bronze medal on the little man's body, and Chen Hui hurriedly asked, where did you find the bronze medal?

The head nurse said that a small nurse picked it up at the door of the ward when they were doing their rounds in the morning.

Chen Hui also said, this is the patient's belongings, let me keep them first. As he spoke, Chen Hui took the bronze medal from the head nurse and stuffed it into his baggage.

However, we thought it was strange, when we left the ward in the middle of the night to look for the little man, there was nothing at the door of the ward, and if there were, the three of us would have found out, when did this bronze medal appear at the door of the ward? Could it be that the little man came back after we left? So where is he going now? Why can't you find him anywhere?

With a lot of questions, we left the hospital.

At this time, the injury on my leg is almost healed, after all, I am young, and I recover quickly, although it still hurts a little when I walk, but it doesn't affect anything.

When I left the town, Chen Hui had a lot of worries, I was like Qiang Shun and I was fine, as soon as I said that I went home, I felt that my legs didn't hurt so much, and I was very excited.

All the way to the north, in the direction of home, Chen Hui in order to take care of my legs, not very fast, only five or six hours a day, unlike when I came, from dawn in the morning, until the sky was dark.

After walking for about ten days, we came to the Yellow River in the evening. When he came before, he was in a hurry, and Chen Hui didn't let us stop to take a look, but this time, he was not in a hurry, and led us to look at the bank of the Yellow River.

At that time, it was actually just in time for the rainy season, the water in the Yellow River was very large, the water flow was turbulent, and its first impression was that it was a wide river, perhaps because it was dark, and I felt that the river was wide and I couldn't see the head at a glance, and the river in the south of our village was not even a small ditch compared to this.

After staying by the Yellow River for a while, Chen Hui led us to a village on the bank of the river, where we found a small restaurant and asked for two dishes and a bottle of liquor. Since leaving the hospital, we have lived a hard life of pickles and steamed buns, seeing that Chen Hui wants vegetables and wine, Qiang Shun and I both wonder if this old Taoist priest has just picked up money by the river, otherwise why would he be willing to pay his blood today.

After the wine and food came up, Chen Hui actually asked me and Qiang Shun with a smile, "Do you two know where this is?" ”

Qiang Shun and I shook at the same time, walking blindly all day long, who knows where it is, and I don't know what Chen Hui meant by asking the two of us at this time.

Chen Hui still smiled and said unhurriedly: "This is the village where your ancestors lived. ”

The two of us were stunned for a moment, the village where our ancestors lived? Could it be that this is the "Three Kings Village"? If it weren't for the fact that the village was gone, our ancestors would not have moved from the Yellow River to the current poor mountain village, saying that this village is the village where our ancestors lived, neither of us believed it.

Chen Hui saw that we didn't believe us, so he called the owner of the hotel and asked us to ask the boss what the name of the village was, and the boss told us that their village was called "Beiwangzhuang".

Beiwangzhuang? When Qiang Shun and I heard it, our hearts jumped, and there was a word difference from "Sanwangzhuang".

Could it be that this is really the village where our ancestors used to live? The two of us hurriedly asked the boss again, "Was this village called Sanwangzhuang in the past?" ”

The boss shook his head, "I don't know about this." ”

I asked again, "Then has your village been flooded in the past, during the War of Resistance Against Japan?" ”

The boss said, "Then who knows, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was many years ago, but I heard some old people say that it was drowned in the past." The boss then added, "Frequent flooding." ”

Qiang Shun and I immediately glanced at each other, and felt that this was a bit unreliable, there are many villages on the edge of the Yellow River, and the name of the village alone does not mean anything.

Then I thought about it, my ancestor is actually not a person from Sanwangzhuang, Qiang Shun's ancestor is from Sanwangzhuang, my ancestor is from Liuzhuang on the other side of the river, and my ancestor settled in Sanwangzhuang because he followed his ancestor Wang Shoudao to learn art.

So, I asked the boss again, "Do you have a Liu Zhuang on the other side of the river?" ”

The boss immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, we crossed the river from here, not far away, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Liu." ”

As soon as I heard it, my heart suddenly had mixed feelings, this should be the Sanwangzhuang in the past, otherwise, how could there be a Liu Zhuang across the river? However, my grandmother told me that Sanwangzhuang was washed away by the flood, and then they went back to look for it, and it became a wild land.

I was not reconciled, and asked the boss again, how old is your village? The boss said that the whole family had moved from somewhere else, and it had only been one or two decades since they came to this village, and they were not very clear about the past of the village.

At this time, there were guests again, the boss left, Chen Hui said to the two of us, he passed by here a few years ago, and specifically inquired in this area, this village should be the past Sanwangzhuang.

I laughed and took a sip from my glass.

According to what Chen Hui said, the section of the river we just saw, my ancestor held up the boat on it a hundred and ten years ago, and it was still that section of the river, my grandfather killed the dragon lord in it, the river is still this river, the only thing is different, it is no longer them who stand by the river, but their unfilial descendants a hundred and ten years later, the most tragic, the most declining, and the most incompetent generation in the ghost hunting family.

When I left the hotel, it was already late at night, I was very drunk with Qiang Shun, maybe I was happy, I really didn't expect that I could come to the village where my ancestors lived to see, although it was unrecognizable, but it felt very good, I still wanted to go to Liu Zhuang on the other side of the river to see.

Chen Hui led the two of us to the Yellow River, which was only about ten meters away from the river, and it was quiet at night, and the sound of flowing water could be heard clearly.

After finding a flat and spacious place, Chen Hui spread the broken list on the ground, and this is where we slept.

I said to Chen Hui while I was drunk: "Dao Chief, we will be home when we cross the river, why don't we find a place to stay in the village for the night, if you don't have any money, Qiang Shun and I have it." ”

Chen Hui said, "The sky is the quilt, the earth is the bed, so that we can collect the aura between heaven and earth. ”

I don't know if I can collect the aura, but I will definitely be able to collect the moisture when I sleep here, because it is close to the river, the ground is sandy, the surface is dry and the bottom is wet, if the body is not good, I will not be able to get up the next day after lying down all night. But Chen Hui didn't care, after finishing the class, he lay down and went to sleep.

This night, I don't know what's going on, I just can't sleep, I always feel panicked, as if something is going to happen.

I don't know what time it will be tossed over and over again, Qiang Shun, who was sleeping next to me, gently pushed me, and it turned out that he hadn't slept yet.

I turned my back to him at this time, ignored him, and heard him call me in a very hurried whisper: "Huang He, Huang He, wake up, look what kind of ...... is in the river?"
