Chapter 038: I saw the place where Xiao Yu died
I stood there and didn't dare to move, "Xiao Yu? ”
After waiting for a long time and no one answered, I tentatively took a step forward, and as soon as my feet hit the ground, I was stunned, as if I was standing in the water.
I bent down and touched it, and the ground was really full of water, but it was not deep, and it had not yet reached the upper of the shoe.
"I'm here." He said softly, and as the words fell, there was a sudden bright light in front of me on my right, which was a kerosene lamp.
I saw Xiao Yu walking in front of the oil lamp, as if he was going in circles, and when he walked around, seven or eight lamps were lit around me.
The surrounding scenery gradually became clear, it seemed to be a room, but there were no windows, and the walls on all sides were very strange, only a piece of white ash was painted, and there were paintings on it, there were trees and mountains, and there were flute men and dancing women.
The people in the painting are all dressed in ancient costumes, and their expressions are particularly vivid and lifelike.
Then the blue bricks are stacked together, and then an arc-shaped top.
I walked forward and took a closer look, and found that the green bricks here were larger than those used in the village.
I think this house should have been built for some years, after all, in the past two years, no one in the village has used green bricks, and they are all red bricks fired by the kiln, which is stronger.
Xiao Yu stopped in front of me and took my hand, "Do you like it?" ”
I nodded, "This painting is beautiful, but it has no windows." ”
He shook his head and smiled, pulled me two steps forward, pointed to the stone in the corner, and said, "That's where I died." ”
"Huh?" At first glance, I couldn't react to that.
I don't know if he did it on purpose, but he repeated it again: "I died on that stone in the first place." ”
I looked at the swarthy stone, and my heart was cold, but after a few seconds, I saw that the Tao was coming, and I felt the Tongyin stone on my neck.
"The Yin Stone that my dad gave me was cut from here?" I asked Xiao Yu nervously.
He chuckled, "He doesn't have the skills to get in here." ”
I glared at him, thinking that my dad was also very capable, and I didn't quite believe him, it was exactly the same stone, and the ground was full of water.
When Lao Yutou brought the stone back, his pants and shoes were wet, which can really be explained.
"If you don't fool me, you must have taken it out from here." I say.
He didn't fight with me about this anymore, turned around and sat down on the stone, and said, "In the future, you will believe my words, and this Yin Stone is my dowry gift to you, otherwise he will not get this Yin Stone if he dies of exhaustion." ”
When I heard the word dowry, I was shocked, and I hurriedly took a few steps back, and said with a dry smile: "What...... Xiao Yu, I have to go back, otherwise my dad will be worried. ”
He stood up slowly, walked slowly to me, lowered his voice, and whispered in my ear, "I'll wait for you to grow up." ”
My heart trembled, and I looked up at him, not knowing what to say.
He shook his head and smiled, and suddenly reached out and flicked it on my head.
A gust of wind blew on me, and I shivered with cold, and my eyes suddenly brightened.
I looked at the trees around me, and I was still a little confused, I was still in the dark room just now, why did I return to the woods in a blink of an eye?
I rubbed my arms together and went down the hill full of doubts.
As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he ran into Zhao Yi, who was sweating profusely, "Tuzi, why did you come here?" ”
"I ...... Come to Grandma Chang Wu. I felt weak in my heart, and quickly added: "On the day Du Gang died, I seemed to see the shadow of a snake, and I thought it might be Chang Wu's grandmother, so I came to take a look." ”
"Really? Have you found Chang Xian? He asked.
I shook my head.
He sighed and said, "Eighty percent didn't survive it, but it's a pity that Chang Xian has cultivated for so many years." ”
As he spoke, he led me to the village, "Tuzi, you can't go up the mountain alone in the future, it's not safe, if you have something urgent to go up the mountain, just tell me and your father, and we will follow you." ”
I hurriedly answered, looked up and asked him, "Uncle, why do you suddenly care so much about me?" ”
He smiled awkwardly, "I've always cared about you." ”
"Not really." I retorted that since the last time he talked to Lao Yutou about his life ideals, he suddenly treated me well.
"Uncle, what kind of ideals have you talked to my dad about?" I asked, puzzled.
He said twice, "It's nothing, go home quickly, your dad and your grandma are waiting." ”
After I got home, I was directly dragged into the house by my grandmother and scolded, I coaxed for a long time, promising that I would never run away again, so my grandmother would not be angry with me.
Listening to Lao Yutou, Du Gang's funeral went very smoothly, and there was no way not to go wrong, his soul was gone, and there was nothing to make trouble.
However, I found that after the funeral, Lao Yutou and Zhao Yi had something on their minds, especially Zhao Yi, who often sat on the side and stared at me in a daze.
I could see that goosebumps were going to rise on my body.
Three days passed like this, and at nine o'clock in the morning of the fourth day, Zhou Ji's car appeared at my door on time, and when he saw me following behind Lao Yutou, the smile on his face became even bigger.
Today's car drove extremely fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at the door of Zhou Ji's house.
After getting out of the car, he welcomed us into the courtyard and said with a smile: "Master Yu, Mr. Zhao, my friend is in the living room, you can see it when you enter the door, I am playing with the children in the yard." ”
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the living room window, and I looked down and saw only a corner of his clothes.
Zhao Yi pulled me aside, "Tuzi, you are standing in the middle of the courtyard, don't worry about anyone, you know?" ”
I hurriedly responded, patting my chest and assuring, "I will never care." ”
The key is that I don't dare to talk to it, as soon as I see Zhou Ji's pale face, I can't say anything.
Hearing my words, Zhao Yi and Lao Yutou entered the living room.
Zhou Ji squatted next to me and said with a smile: "Your big name is Yu Yang?" It's a pretty simple name. ”
I rolled my eyes secretly, thinking that if I didn't think it sounded, I would just say it, and I would have to go around several times to say something.
He continued: "To tell you the truth, I know everything in the village, especially on the buns. ”
I looked at him in amazement.
He raised an eyebrow, "You don't believe me?" Your dad can't find my parents' souls at all, and he still has a female ghost, am I right? ”
"You ......" I just wanted to ask him how he knew, but when I thought that Zhao Yi told me that I couldn't ignore him, I quickly covered my mouth and turned my back to him.
"How do I know, you ask?" He laughed: "We know everything, and I also know that the things on the dwarf buns should see the light, and they can't lay eggs if they stick to it, right?" ”
I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard the last sentence.
He laughed twice, sat down on a stool in the corner, and didn't come back to him.
I glanced at him secretly, and cautiously turned to look at the living room, where Lao Yutou and Zhao Yi were at the square table, and there was a man in gray standing by the window, his face was just blocked by the wall, and he could only see the back of his head.
It was too far away for me to hear what they were saying.
After more than half an hour, Lao Yutou and Zhao Yi came out of the house, and their faces were not very good.
The two of them looked at Zhou Ji, but they didn't mention the man in the room.
I hurried over and craned my neck to look into the house, and saw the man who was talking to the old man walking through the back door.
Old Yu took me into his arms hard, "Tuzi......" he sighed helplessly, and I could see despair on his face.
I chuckled in my heart, and just wanted to ask him what was wrong, when I heard Zhou Ji say, "Master Yu, Mr. Zhao, people are here." ”
When he turned around, Zhou Ji was standing at the door of the right wing.
I was stunned, who is it?
Old Yutou and Zhao Yi glanced at each other, and walked into the wing room with calm faces.
Zhou Ji stood beside the bed and said, "This is the person my boss said, a man who used to be tall and strong, suddenly stopped eating, and starved himself to this virtue." ”
I covered my nose in disgust, the room smelled rancid, the floor and table were dusty, and on the bed lay a skinny skinny man, with pale skin, lying on the bed with drooping eyelids, and it felt like it was hard to breathe.
Zhou Ji smiled bitterly: "Actually, I was going to ask you to show him, but it just so happened that my boss was here and wanted to see you." ”
I understood, it turned out that the person in the house was Zhou Ji's boss,
Zhao Yi sneered and said, "You pull down, he's not here now, you don't need to pretend." ”
When the two of them were fighting, Lao Yutou had already walked to the side of the bed and stared at the man.
The man, who was originally listless, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw me, "This doll is good." ”
He spoke like a bellows, and it was very ugly.
When the words fell, he didn't know where the strength came from, so he pounced on me, and Lao Yu dragged me behind him, but he himself was grabbed by the man.
Lao Yutou put the wooden imprint on the man's head with his backhand, and the man only paused, then roared hoarsely, opened his mouth wide and bit Lao Yutou's arm.
Lao Yutou snorted, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, I was so anxious that I almost instinctively pressed the Yin Stone on my neck, wanting to rush up.
But in the middle, Zhao Yi grabbed me by the collar, he slipped me aside, took out the jujube sword, and shouted in a low voice: "The patriarch's decree, help me get rid of ghosts!" ”
When the words fell, he directly slapped the jujube wood sword on the man's heavenly spirit cover.
With two clicks, the skinny man fell straight to the ground, blood flowing to the ground.
I was so frightened that I took a few steps back and accidentally bumped into Zhou Ji.
He immediately pushed me aside and shook the leg that touched my body several times.
I didn't bother to look at him at all, my eyes kept staring at the man on the ground, so much blood, should I die?
Zhao Yi tore off his sleeve and wiped it for the man, moved him back to the bed, and checked the wound on his head.
He had lost so much blood, but he couldn't find a wound on his head.
He stepped on the table and jumped on the beam, grabbed a handful of soil from the beam, pressed it directly on the man's head, and touched the major artery in his neck, "There is still a breath, send it to the hospital." ”
Zhou Ji limped over and carried the man away.
Lao Yu leaned against the wall, covering his arms, looking very painful.
I hurriedly went over to help him, and looked at the old man's arm, and the teeth marks that the man had bitten out were all black.
"Bear with me." Zhao Yi said, squeezing out of the old man's arm, and all that flowed out was black blood.
I was afraid that Lao Yutou would bite his teeth, so I was busy stuffing my sleeve into his mouth.
When the blood squeezed out turned red, Zhao Yi pulled a strip of cloth from his clothes and tied it to Lao Yutou, "I still have to go to the hospital to see, don't get inflamed." ”
Old Yu nodded, spit out my sleeve, exhaled, and asked Zhao Yi, "What are you doing with that person just now?" ”
"It's not like you're haunted by a ghost." He said.
Lao Yutou's eyes flashed: "I feel the same way." ”
"How did he become like that?" I asked, staring at them.
Zhao Yi rubbed my head, grabbed my clothes and walked out, "What is the child asking nonsense, go, hurry to the hospital." ”
When I came out of the room, I felt that someone was staring at me, and when I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I couldn't help but turn around, and the windows of the living room were curtained, and I couldn't see anything.
I scratched my head, could I have seen it wrong?
"Dad, I feel like someone is watching me." I whispered.
Old Yu pulled me in front of him, stiffened his face and said, "No one is looking at you." ”
When he said this, I felt his body tense, and I didn't relax until I came out of Zhou Ji's house.
Zhao Yi first took Lao Yutou to the hospital to bandage his arm, and rushed back to the village on the last shuttle.
Although they didn't show it on their faces, I could feel that they were nervous, especially Zhao Yi, who glanced at the wing room from time to time.
After eating, Lao Yutou and Zhao Yi both said that they were tired and went back to the house early, I originally wanted to grind them to ask about the day, but I didn't have a chance to speak before going to bed.
Today, after a day of tossing, I was too tired to do it, and I fell asleep after lying in bed for a while.
At night, I vaguely heard the whirring wind in the courtyard, and the suppressed pain of people, the whispering screams of women, mixed with the thud of things falling to the ground.
I rolled over and was about to take a look, but before I could open my eyes, someone patted me on the back and lulled me to sleep.
The breath of Xiao Yu's body lingered in his nose.
I fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, I was woken up by Zhao Yi's shouting.
"Yu Weiguo, do you have a word of truth in your mouth? It is the ancestor of your Yu family who keeps worshipping it, and it turns out to be an evil one. ”
Why did they quarrel?
I was busy putting on my shoes and going to the ground, and as soon as I got out of the house, I saw Zhao Yi standing in the yard with a blue nose and swollen face, grinning and pointing at Lao Yu's head and scolding.
The courtyard was a mess, the door of the wing room was wide open, and the red paper on the wall was removed.
The old man stood under the eaves with his head bowed and did not return his mouth.
Seeing me come out, Zhao Yi's voice was raised, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll ......"
Old Yu raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and he said miserably: "I will speak to you, who will explain to me?" ”
After saying that, he went out the door with his back bent.
"Uncle......" I called Zhao Yi dryly, I couldn't figure out what was going on.
Zhao Yi squatted next to me and said angrily: "Tuzi, your father is too scheming. ”
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked him, listening to what he meant before, this matter was related to the ancestors of the Yu family who were enshrined in the wing.
He pointed to the wing room and said, "Your father is not the ancestor of your Yu family at all in the wing room, it is an evil cult for an unknown number of years. ”
I was so scared that I almost sat on the ground, "How do you know? ”
He said indignantly: "The time your fourth grandmother bit your ear, as soon as we entered the yard, I felt that something was wrong, the evil spirit on her body was too heavy, I grew so big, I haven't seen such a powerful one, I wanted to test it at that time, who wanted her to find a chance to bite you." ”
I touched the wound on my ear, and I wanted to punch someone!
"But with her Taoism, one finger can crush you to death, she just didn't do it, she just pestered you so many times in the back, it was all thunder and rain, and I didn't make a ruthless move, I'm very strange." He continued.
I frowned secretly, wasn't that female ghost trying to force Xiao Yu out with me?
"Until yesterday, I saw that skinny man......" Zhao Yi patted his thigh and said with a cold face: "I just figured it out, the Yu family is raising her." ”
"That's right, isn't she the fourth grandmother supporting?" I say.
He said: "I'm not talking about raising ghosts and immortals, that woman is taking souls by relying on the things on the low bun!" ”
I was stunned by him, "Uncle, what is the soul snatcher?" How do you know this? ”
He said: "The man we saw yesterday was still alive and was taken away from his soul to become like that, at that time I immediately thought of Zhou Ji's parents, as long as their souls were sealed on the short bun, it was absolutely impossible to find it, I came back at night and specially set up a formation in the house to look for it again, I couldn't find a trace of it, it was obviously taken away from the soul." “
I patted him on the side, "But are you so sure you're looking for the right result?" ”
"I use the treasure handed down by my grandfather, so I can know if this person's soul exists after death." He took a breath and continued, "But there is no trace of the souls of Zhou's parents, they can only be taken alive." ”
"Was it taken away by the female ghost in the wing?" I was amazed.
He nodded, "Originally, I was just suspicious, but then I forced the woman out to fight, and as soon as I saw her tricks, I understood." ”
I was even more surprised, "You can tell from the tricks?" ”
Suddenly felt that Zhao Yi was like a martial arts master.
He raised his chin and said: "Now I say that our line of work is all South Mao and North Horse, but not only the Maoshan faction, Zhengyi and Quanzhen are also big factions with fate, in addition to several small sects, not to mention the southwest witchcraft, there are all kinds of things, and I can't finish talking about the last three days and three nights." ”
Speaking of this, he said: "This soul-snatching technique is one of the witchcraft, if I remember correctly, it belongs to the vein of black witchcraft, when I fought in your house before, the woman was afraid that I would see through it, and she didn't dare to take it seriously, and she was provoked by me last night, and she immediately showed it." ”
It took me a long time to understand what he meant, "What about the female ghost?" ”
He gritted his teeth and said, "Your father let him go." ”
I sat on the steps, remembered the appearance of the old man who had just left, and said in a muffled voice: "Maybe my dad doesn't know, he looked more uncomfortable than you just now." ”
Zhao Yi paused slightly, sat next to me, and didn't speak.
A question suddenly occurred to me, "Did Zhou Ji deliberately let you see that man?" ”
Otherwise, it would have been too coincidental for him, and he told me that day that he knew everything.
The more I thought about it, the more likely it became, "Uncle, Zhou Ji told me yesterday that he knew that his parents' souls were gone, and he also knew that I relied on the Soul Formation to live in the Soul Formation, so thinking about it, he probably also knew that female ghosts would take souls, and he did it on purpose." ”
Zhao Yi was shocked, "Did he really say that?" ”
I nodded, "Really." ”
"You're right, it's too coincidental, no, you have to call your dad back to discuss." As he spoke, he ran out, and I hurried to follow.
We hadn't walked a few steps before we saw the old man talking in front of the mill at the entrance of the village.
"Dad...... Hmm...... "As soon as I shouted, Zhao Yi covered my mouth.
He whispered, "Don't shout, let's sneak over." ”
He dragged me through the cornfield.
"Brother, the things on the short bun really can't be kept? What can you do with the soil? Yu Jianguo said worriedly.
Lao Yutou said: "I have a way to protect the soil, that is, the formation on the dwarf bun has to be dealt with thoughtfully, and I can't let the people in the village know." ”
Yu Jianguo was silent for a long time, and hesitated: "Did he find it?" If he can really help, Tuzi won't let us worry about it. ”
"Don't need him, the daughter of our Yu family, I can protect it myself." Old Yu Tou sounded a little angry.
Yu Jianguo has always listened to old Yutou, "Okay, then you will tell me when you think about it." ”
I pulled away the corn stalk in front of me, and looked at the place where I spoke, Yu Jianguo had already left, and the old man was squatting on the ground and smoking.
Zhao Yi pointed behind him, I will understand, and slowly retreated.
"Tuzi, Zhao Yi, come out." Old Yu said suddenly.
I glanced at Zhao Yi and walked out resignedly.
Lao Yutou spit out a puff of smoke rings and looked at Zhao Yi: "Come to me and continue to argue?" ”
Zhao Yi snorted, "I'm too lazy to quarrel with you, I'm here to tell you that we have all fallen for Zhou Ji's trick." ”
"I know." Old Yutou sighed and said, "I figured it out last night, he was testing me when he first asked me to find his parents' corpses, and afterwards I estimated that he had been letting Du Gang stare at me, so when we went to the dwarf bun to find his parents, Du Gang found out." ”
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhao Yi's arrogance suddenly disappeared.
Old Yu glanced at him, "Have you given me a chance to explain?" It's been yelling. ”
He touched his nose, laughed awkwardly twice, and began to change the subject: "Then what will you do in the future?" Still offering that female ghost? It's not that I said you, why do you want to raise an evil and be a ghost? ”
Old Yu Tou directly ignored his words and replied, "Dispose of the soul formation on the short bun, and then leave here with Tuzi." ”
This time it was Zhao Yi's turn to be stunned, "You really decided?" ”
"Hmm." He wrinkled his eyebrows.
Zhao Yi looked at Lao Yu in astonishment for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng, when will you deal with it?" I'll help you. ”
"The fifteenth of next month." Old Yu Tou spat out a puff of smoke rings, and his face loomed behind the smoke, "The night of the full moon." ”
Listening to his words, I panicked for no reason, "The fifteenth day of next month is the day of Dahu's mother's wedding." ”
"Well, I know that day." The old man said, pulled me to me, and asked me, "Tuzi, get out of here, okay?" ”
I thought about it, "Grandma is going with you too?" ”
"Of course, let's go together." Lao Yutou replied.
I put my arms around his neck, "Okay." ”
As long as my grandmother and Lao Yutou are by my side, I can go anywhere.
At that time, I was still young, and I didn't react at all, and I didn't say that he would follow me from beginning to end.
"Old Yu ......" Zhao Yi frowned, "Will he agree to let Tuzi go?" ”
I listened with my ears pricked up and innocently asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”
Old Man Yu glared at Zhao Yi and smiled at me, "No one." ”
On the way back, Zhao Yi muttered, "Just let go of that female ghost and don't care anymore?" ”
"She's not going to leave the bun." Old Yu said affirmatively, "Her purpose has not been achieved yet." ”
Zhao Yi looked at Lao Yu, "Lao Yu, what are you Yu family ancestors doing?" ”
Old Yu smiled helplessly: "My ancestors have been here for generations, what can I do?" ”
"Come on." Zhao Yi pouted and said: "If you can recruit people who practice black witchcraft as ghosts and immortals, how can you be a farmer who has been nesting in this ravine, and although you are not as good as a serious learner, you can also look like a magic circle, and you obviously have some background." ”
Old Yu smiled, "You'll know later." ”
After returning to the village, Lao Yutou told his grandmother that he was going to move.
Grandma was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground, "Why do you suddenly want to move?" ”
"Tuzi is going to junior high school, I thought that the junior high school in our township is not as good as the county, so I thought that Tuzi would go to the county to study in junior high school." Old Yu said with a smile.
Grandma was unwilling, and when she heard this reason, she couldn't say anything against it, "Okay, just move, I'll pack up my things in the next few days." ”
The old man was busy saying: "Don't worry, let's wait for the big tiger mother to get married and then pack up and move, now don't talk about it." ”
Grandma agreed.
Listening to Lao Yutou and his grandmother discuss what to bring to the county seat, I felt very uncomfortable, on the one hand, I grew up in the village, and I was really reluctant to leave suddenly, and on the other hand, I felt sorry for my grandma and Lao Yutou.
I knew they were moving out for my sake.
That night, my grandmother began to pack winter clothes, saying that she wanted to prepare early.
I counted the days and counted how many days I would have to wait in the village.
I haven't felt anything yet, it's September 13, and when Big Tiger Mom gets married on 15, we're leaving.
I was thinking about going out to play with my friends in the village for a while, when I saw my grandmother leading a woman in her forties into the hospital.
"Tuzi, where's your dad?" Grandma asked anxiously.
"In the house, Dad, my grandma is here." I shouted into the house.
Old Yutou hurriedly came out of the house, "Her grandmother, what's wrong?" ”
Grandma pulled the woman behind her to her and said, "This is my niece, Huang Qing." After speaking, she said to Huang Qing: "What's the matter, you hurry up." ”
Because my mother was expelled from being pregnant out of wedlock, my grandmother's family disliked her bad reputation, so I didn't associate with her anymore, I grew up so big, this is the first time I saw my grandmother's family.
Huang Qing wiped his eyes, "My youngest son is not very good, he has not slept well since half a month ago, and he is always confused, I think he is tired, so I let him sleep at home, and I didn't let him work, who knows that the more he sleeps, the more wilted he becomes, he can't get up from the kang these days, and he always talks nonsense." ”
Old Yu frowned and said, "Have you checked it?" ”
"I checked it, I went to the hospital several times, and I said that I was fine." Huang Qingdao.
"Okay, I'll go with you and have a look." Lao Yutou said, went back to the house to get something, and asked me to follow Huang Qing to her village.
Grandma was afraid that I would be bullied, so she followed along.
Huang Qing rode a bicycle with his grandmother, and he took me with him, and it took me two hours to arrive.
After getting out of the car, Lao Yutou gave me his bag on his shoulder, "Tuzi ......"
Called me, and there was no more.
I grabbed the strap of my satchel and said, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
He pinched my face, smiled and said, "It's okay, go in." "I don't know if it's my delusion, but there seems to be water in his eyes.
Huang Qing led us to her son's house, and as soon as I entered the door, I didn't see anything clearly, so Lao Yutou carried us to the chair and took out a rope from my pocket to tie me up.
"Dad, why are you tying me up?" I'm in a hurry, didn't I say that I came to see Huang Qing's youngest son, why did you tie me up? ... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
