Chapter 9: Miao Chun's Master
After leaving the village, I kept running, and I didn't dare to stop.
I felt cold all over, shivering, and my mind was full of hands sticking out from under the bed.
I don't think about anything else now, I just want to run to the county seat as soon as possible to find Miao Chun's master, I don't know if even if I find him, the master won't have time to save my parents and them, but I have no choice.
It's not too far from our village to the county seat, and if I run at my current speed, I can almost get there in more than half an hour.
This more than half an hour is probably the most difficult period of time since I was a child, even if I am tired, even if both legs are like lead, I still run all the way and dare not stop to rest.
Although it was late at night, after arriving in the county seat, I could still see a lot of traffic and some pedestrians, and the colorful neon lights on the tall buildings on the side of the road made me feel a little less nervous and afraid.
After all, the county seat is not like our village, and it is more lively even late at night.
Although the tension and fear in my heart eased a little, I still didn't dare to slow down and hurried to Xiangyang Street.
Our village is not far from the county seat, and we have been to the county seat many times, so we are not very unfamiliar with Xiangyang Street.
Xiangyang Street is in the eastern district of the county, it is a relatively remote street, although there are occasionally a few cars passing here in the middle of the night, but it still seems to be much more deserted than the main road of the county.
Most of the shops on this street have house numbers in front of them, and I found the house with the house number eighteen written on it, and I anxiously banged on the door, shouting loudly as I patted it.
After a while, I heard someone in the room respond, and then the door opened, and a little thin old man who was not very tall appeared in front of me, looking at me sleepily, looking at me angrily, and said in a very impatient tone: "Boy, the soul in the middle of the night!" Don't you see that it's all closed? If you want to buy a shroud wreath or something, come back tomorrow! ”
That's when I noticed that it was actually a shroud wreath shop, and the room was full of paper people and wreaths and other funeral goods, and even two black coffins.
After the old man said this, he wanted to close the door, but I hurriedly stepped in to stop him from closing the door, and said anxiously to the old man: "It was Miao Chun who called me, our village is haunted!" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at me carefully, and muttered with a slight frown: "There is really yin qi on the body, and there is even resentment, that kid learned a little bit of three-legged cat things and ran around, this time it is estimated that he will be a big heel...... Tell me, what's going on? ”
I hurriedly explained the matter, and the old man's brow furrowed more and more.
"Wait a minute!" After listening, the old man simply left a sentence, and then hurried to the backyard.
After waiting anxiously, after a few minutes the old man pushed a bicycle out with a small backpack on his body, and after locking the door of the shop, the old man rode my bicycle and took me in the direction of our village.
Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, I told the old man the ins and outs of the whole thing in detail, including the strangeness of my uncle's burial and the resentment of the woman's grave.
After listening to what I said, the old man suddenly asked, "Do you know who chose the cemetery for your uncle?" ”
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, I didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, shook my head and said: "These things are handled by my aunt, I heard that I found a cemetery to see by a feng shui master from another village, and I don't know the specific situation......
"The cemetery where the woman was buried should have been chosen by the so-called feng shui gentleman, right?" The old man's voice was a little cold.
I sensed something he was saying, but I didn't know what it meant.
The old man pedaled his bicycle, as if talking to himself and me, and said in a low voice: "The curse of the paper man and the stealing of corpse oil are not things that ordinary people can know!" That bastard boy, who has been with me for so many years, can't even see this, he deserves to be planted this time! ”
As soon as he said this, I panicked again, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, my parents will be fine!" ”
Although I heard the screams of my second uncle when I left my uncle's house, I already had some answers in my heart, but I still had a trace of anticipation, hoping that a miracle would happen.
The old man snorted and said vaguely, "It's up to luck!" ”
Then the old man ignored me, sped up his ride, and soon came to the entrance of our village.
The village was dead and gloomy, and a chill emanated from the village.
I guided the old man to the door of my uncle's house, I held my breath, I was very nervous, if the old man couldn't solve the problem here, then I really didn't know what to do.
The door of my uncle's house was open, and as I had when I left, the door of the hall was closed, and the old man strode into the courtyard, and I trembled and followed closely behind him. Originally, I didn't dare to enter this courtyard again, but I was even more scared to be left alone at this time.
After entering the courtyard, the old man kept frowning, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly kicked open the closed door of the hall.
My heart hung high, and I looked at the hall for fear of ghosts or something coming out of it, and even more afraid of seeing corpses all over the place, if that was the case, I guess I would go crazy.
There was no one in the hall, my parents and my relatives didn't know where they had gone, only the bed at the front entrance of the hall was empty, and my aunt's body was gone.
What about people? Where did it all go? Mom and Dad, are they okay?
When I was confused and worried, the old man took out his flashlight and seemed to be looking for something in the hall.
There were some glass shards on the ground, which were left after the light bulb burst, and in addition, there was a broken peachwood short sword, which was the short sword that Miao Chun had held in his hand before.
After seeing the broken short sword, the old man's brows furrowed even tighter, and he used the flashlight light to look closely, and there was a scorched black spot where the peach wood short sword was broken, much like a person's palm.
Then the old man came to the bed that was placed at the door of the hall with a flashlight, and half-crouched down and took the flashlight to shine under the bed, and I didn't know what he was doing, and I also bent down to look at the bottom of the bed.
Under the bed, there is a palm-sized blood-red pattern, as if it was painted with blood, which looks quite terrible.
"And so it was!" The old man muttered with a calm face.
I was anxious and asked again: "Uncle, my parents ...... them"
"Take me to your uncle's grave!" The old man interrupted me directly, and his tone was unmistakable.
There's nothing to say, no matter how anxious I am, it's useless, I have to listen to him at this time.
Riding a bicycle to the foot of the mountain, he took him to his uncle's grave, and after looking at it for a while, the old man said in a deep voice, "Where is the woman's grave?" ”
I pointed to the south, but when we got there, I froze at what I saw.
What a grave there is! There was only an empty clearing.
"This ...... How is this possible? My eyes widened, and I exclaimed: "When Brother Miao and I came, there was obviously a grave here, and the woman was buried here, and Brother Miao also sealed the resentment here with red thread and black dog blood or something......
The old man ignored my exclamations, went to the place where the woman's grave had been, shone his flashlight around, and in a few moments picked up something from the ground, some peach wood nails wrapped in red thread, some dried dog blood, and a crumpled yellow paper talisman.
"How so?" I stood dumbfounded, unable to believe my eyes.
I could have sworn this was definitely the place where the woman's grave was, but why did she disappear into thin air?
"Damn, dare to touch my apprentice, look for death!" The old man suddenly burst into a foul mouth, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly to me: "The feng shui gentleman who chose the cemetery for your uncle should be from the same village as this woman's in-laws, do you know where their village is?" ”
At this time, my head was confused, and I instinctively said: "It's our neighboring village, Lijia Village, not far from here!" ”
"Let's go, let's go now!" The old man's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold tone: "I want to see which bastard did such a thing that hurts the heavens and causes the conscience!" ”
