Chapter 10 The temple hangs the corpse
I was stunned for a few seconds, until now my grandfather's affairs have not taken a big turn, I am also very anxious, after coming back to my senses, I said to the second grandfather: "Yes, I believe in him." ”
The second grandfather hummed, said that he hoped so, and then said to me, it's not too early, you go back to sleep.
I said yes and left the River Temple. The statue of the river temple was smashed, and I couldn't help if I stayed here, so I rushed home. When I got home, I smelled the fragrant smell, like the smell of food.
After entering the house, I saw Xiao Wanwan busy before and after, and after seeing me, he said, "You're back, wash your hands and get ready for dinner." ”
Although I was a little surprised, I still did it, Xiao Wanwan said: "It's not delicious, you will order it." ”
After a busy day, I was also hungry, so I was not polite, I felt that it tasted good when I ate it, and I couldn't help but praise Xiao Wanwan a few words, Xiao Wanwan was a little embarrassed to be praised by me. After eating a few bites, I realized that Yuan Zhen didn't seem to be there, and I asked Xiao Wanwan where Yuan Zhen went?
Xiao Wanwan pulled the hair on his forehead to the back of his ear and said, "He said that there is something to do, so he will leave first and let you wait for him." He also told you not to act rashly. ”
Yuan Zhen is also chattering.
After I finished eating, I rushed to wash the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the bed and let Xiao go to bed late, I made a bed with a stool in the hall and slept simply. At dawn the next day, I saw people running towards the River Temple.
I asked, is something wrong?
The man said, "The temple of the river is dead." ”
Suddenly, I was blindfolded, the statue of the river god was smashed, and someone died in the village, is it so evil?
After the man finished speaking, he ran towards the river temple, and I quickly followed, and when I arrived at the river temple, I found that there were many people standing in front of the temple, but there were scattered and scattered, and no one dared to approach the river temple, I looked up at the river temple, and I saw a person hanging on the beam of the river temple, and this person was none other than the second stunned person who smiled at me last night.
I stared at it, and suddenly I felt a little creepy.
It was as if his smile on me last night had turned into a sneer.
No one dared to step forward to get the body of the stunned man down, only that it was the river god who began to punish the villagers. It's a bit wicked.
It didn't take long for the second grandfather to rush over, took a few looks, frowned and didn't know how deep, usually the big and small things in the village are usually dealt with by the second grandfather, and he is still very majestic as the village chief, and soon someone asked the second grandfather how to do it?
When the second grandfather saw that I was also there, he asked me, "Where is your master?"
I said I didn't know where I went. I won't be able to find it for a while.
When this kind of thing happens in the countryside, it is generally necessary to find Duan Gong to come and take a look, and this matter is not trivial. The second grandfather quickly instructed the people in the village to invite Li Duangong first, and then instructed the other people to find a carpenter to prepare to re-sculpt the statue of the river god.
It was about the morning, and Li Duangong was invited over.
After Li Duangong saw the corpse, his face was solemn, and he didn't dare to take it down rashly, so he said that for such a big thing as the statue of the river temple being smashed, he must first ask for the forgiveness of the river god.
So he asked the villagers to go to the river to worship the river god, ask the river god for mercy, and not blame the villagers.
The sacrificial event was held for more than an hour, and a large amount of dead money was burned, and the second grandfather told Li Duangong about the reshaping of the river god statue, and Li Duangong also agreed.
It's just that the body hasn't been taken down yet.
Li Duangong stood in front of the corpse of the stunned man, pinched his fingers and calculated, his face changed, and then he looked at me and said, "Zhang boy, how about you take down the corpse?" ”
When the second grandfather heard this, he pulled me behind him and said, "Li Duangong, this matter is no joke, if something happens, I can't explain it to his grandfather, otherwise I'll come." ”
Li Duangong said: "He has to do this thing, he is Yangming, and he is born with strong yang energy, so let him get the body down, so that he will not suffer any damage." ”
What else did the second grandfather want to say, I said to the second grandfather, I'll come, I'll come.
I usually follow my grandfather to salvage the body by the Yellow River, so I don't have too much fear of the corpse, I climbed up with the help of a ladder, and took down the body of the two stunned people, and then the village people discussed, Li Duangong did a ritual to overtake the two stunned people, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the two stunned people were buried in Turtle Ridge, but there was no coffin, and they were buried directly with soil.
On the way home, Li Duangong also asked me, what is my master busy with?
I said simply, Li Duangong smiled, so I don't have to worry too much, with him, it shouldn't take long for my grandfather to wake up.
I hummed.
In order to thank Li Duangong, the second grandfather called Li Duangong to go home and drink some wine.
I myself went home, Xiao Wanwan sat in the hall, I said hello to Xiao Wanwan, Xiao Wanwan said: "Today, your master came back and said that you should not go out at night, no matter who calls you, don't go out." ”
I was stunned for a few seconds and said, "Did he say anything?" ”
Xiao Wanwan shook her head and didn't say anything more. I took the yuzu water myself and took a hot bath.
It was fast into the night, Xiao Wanwan made me another meal, and after eating, I asked Xiao Wanwan and said, "Does my master still come over at night?" ”
"He didn't say anything, just said the one that told you not to go out at night."
I sighed, didn't say anything, and stayed in the house with Xiao Wanwan, and it was really a little embarrassing for a while.
About seven o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden thunder outside, and it didn't take long for it to rain, the momentum of the rain was quite strong, the wind blew in from outside, and it was cold, I thought to myself that Yuan Zhen would probably not come tonight. I closed the door.
In the past two days, I have also sorted out what Yuan Zhen said that day, since Xiao Wanwan said that it was my grandfather who fished her body and soul, so there is a loophole, I still plan to ask, I asked Xiao Wanwan and said: "Wanwan, do you remember, who asked you to ask me to get the black bracelet?" ”
Xiao Wanwan raised her eyes to look at me, her black eyes looked unusually bright, but after a few seconds, they dimmed.
She shook her head at me and said, "I don't remember." Her voice was soft, gentle.
I didn't continue to ask, I couldn't sleep at this time, so I went to my grandfather's bedside and said a few words to my grandfather, wanting to ask my grandfather who killed him. Although I knew that my grandfather couldn't hear it, I still felt more comfortable when I said a few words to my grandfather.
It was at this time that I suddenly saw my grandfather's eyelids blink a few times, and just as I was about to take a closer look, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Bang bang bang" sounded.
I rubbed my eyes and saw that my grandfather had not moved.
The knocking on the door continued. When I came to the hall, Xiao Wanwan was still sitting, but her eyes were focused on the door, and she seemed a little scared when she looked at her posture. The body seemed to shrink into a ball. I looked at the door, but I didn't feel anything unusual.
Who did I ask? Can't you tap when you knock on the door?
Then I walked towards the door, but after just a few steps, Xiao Wanwan suddenly pulled me and said, "Don't go." ”
Xiao Wanwan's voice seemed to be scared inside.
I asked Xiao Wanwan, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Wanwan said: "Didn't your master say it? Tell you not to go out at night. ”
Xiao Wanwan's words gave me a wake-up call, and I didn't move. I asked again, who is the person outside?
The people outside said, "I am a carpenter found by the people of your village, and I have just arrived in the village when I have arrived here, and it has rained heavily, and I see the lights on in your house, and I want to take shelter from you here." ”
After these words fell, the vigilance in my heart weakened a little, and it turned out to be the carpenter found by the second grandfather.
I stepped forward to open the door, but Xiao Wanwan still stopped me, I asked Xiao Wanwan if there was something wrong? Xiao Wanwan shook her head and said, I don't know why, I was suddenly a little scared.
I said to Xiao Wanwan: "Don't be afraid, this is the carpenter found by the second grandfather, a good person who carves the statue of the river god." Moreover, didn't the master say it? He didn't let me out, but he didn't let people in, and it wasn't easy for others to travel overnight. ”
I persuaded Xiao Wanwan, but Xiao Wanwan relented and said, "Then you be careful." ”
I answered, walked to the door, and opened the door directly, but as soon as the door opened, something unexpected happened.
