After thinking about it, I went to the vegetable market to buy a fish and a few catties of pork, and rode to my aunt's house.

When my aunt and third uncle saw me, they welcomed me in with a smile, and my aunt was still wearing a thick cotton jacket in the summer.

The thought of a half-alive, half-evil ghost lying on my aunt's back at this moment made me feel furious, and I wanted to knock it down now, but when I looked at her back, I couldn't see anything.

"You kid, why are you buying things again?" After entering the house, my aunt saw clearly what I was mentioning, and reproached slightly; When she got sick, her eyes were not good.

I scratched my head and made up a lie: "I want to eat the braised pork made by my aunt." ”

In fact, it's not a lie, grandpa was very good in other aspects when he was alive, but the food he cooked was not delicious, and when I was a child, I often went to my aunt's house to rub the rice, and my aunt's craftsmanship was a delicacy in the depths of my memory.

Auntie's face suddenly bloomed with joy, "Hungry, okay, Auntie will go get it for you, and have a good meal tonight." ”

"Okay." I smiled and handed her the fish and pork.

The third uncle was very happy to see me, pulled me to sit down, and said: "You came just right, I went to the Xu family in the afternoon, the Xu family has relented, and promised to reduce the additional dowry to 30,000, what do you think, if the money is tight, I will talk about it, it should be able to reduce it a little." ”

Although I was irritable when I heard the Xu family, it can be seen that the third uncle is so attentive, and he can't harden his heart, so he nodded, "Okay, 30,000 is 30,000, let the third uncle bother." ”

In fact, Xu Jiaojiao wanted to add an extra 50,000 yuan as a dowry, but I either couldn't take it out, or she was angry with her and treated me as a fool. Now I don't want the third uncle to go to Xu's house to see other people's faces, and I am panicking.

"Then I'll reply to the Xu family and say that you agreed, but don't be in a hurry to give the money first, lest they have to make other demands." The third uncle said.

I nodded, but the third uncle was thoughtful, and then he chatted with me a few more words and went to the kitchen to help my aunt cook.

I turned around and went out to Grandpa's grave to break peach branches.

When I arrived at the Peach Blossom Forest, looking at the messy and empty graves, I gritted my teeth with hatred for Feng Qiang, there were many footprints on the ground, and there were more than six people.

The tomb robber didn't lie, it was dug by the Feng family, and their actions detonated the dark battle for Grandpa's coffin, otherwise things wouldn't have developed like this all at once.

At this time, it was completely dark, and I didn't dare to stay longer, so I chose a peach branch that was straight to the sky and walked back quickly, and placed it next to the stone pier at the door.

There was still more than an hour to go, I had nothing to do, and I was a little nervous, so I went to see Meng Shuisheng, who was watching cartoons in his room with relish.

"Brother Leizi." Meng Shuisheng saw me and shouted.

I walked over and touched his head, "Is your summer homework done?" ”

"I've written it a long time ago, it's too simple, it's not interesting at all." Meng Shuisheng shook his head and said.

I smiled, this kid is a school bully, I usually don't see how hard he studies, and a group of naughty boys in the village fish and catch shrimp, should play a lot, but the academic performance has long occupied the first place in the school, and the walls of the house are covered with the awards he won.

When my grandfather was alive, he said that this kid inherited the bones of the Meng family and could become a big official in the future, which is much higher than mine.

"It's too easy, okay, go to my place tomorrow, I still have my high school textbooks." I smiled and said, this kid will be in the third year of junior high school in the second half of the year, and he will take the high school entrance examination next year, if there is no accident, the top class of the county key high school will not be able to run away.

"Wow." Meng Shuisheng suddenly became interested.

I suddenly envied this kid, people really can't compare, talent is brought out of the mother's womb, there is it, there is none, there is no place to reason.

If my grades were so good, I wouldn't have dropped out of school and gone home, because the key high schools in the county are tuition-free and subsidized for top students.

If so, would you be able to avoid all this mess?

……

I chatted with Meng Shuisheng with or without a ride, paying close attention to the time, wading past eight o'clock little by little, approaching nine o'clock, and it was time.

At 8:55, I went into the kitchen to find my aunt and said that I wanted to talk to her, but my aunt didn't think much about it, so she came to the door with me.

I took out a peach pit and asked her to help me see it, my aunt had not been good in her eyes and ears since she was sick, so she took it and looked at it according to the light, and instinctively bent down.

At this moment, she saw the light shining on her shadow and projecting it on the ground, and there was a black thing that appeared.

Now is the time!

I picked up the peach branch like lightning and swept it against my aunt's back.

"Smack!"

"Squeak!!"

The peach branch seemed to be a kitten, and the black shadow was directly knocked away, letting out a scream similar to that of a mouse being injured.

It's done!

I immediately stood behind my aunt, holding on to the peach branch and the peach pit on guard, for fear that the thing would come back. I vaguely seemed to hear it, but it was so weak that I could barely hear it.

After that, I hurriedly let my aunt in, closed the door, and put two peach pits behind the door just in case.

My aunt was puzzled by me and said, "Isn't this a peach pit?" "She didn't know anything about what I was doing.

"Ah...... This one. I didn't think of a good reason for being in a hurry just now, so I hurriedly became wise and said, "This is the medicine that my friend in the business field asked for far away, it looks like a peach pit, but it is not, it will help your illness." ”

"Oh." My aunt nodded, and then asked me how to use it, and I said that I would just smash it open and take out the medicinal kernels in it and boil it in plain water. Anyway, peach kernels are a traditional Chinese medicine, and you will be fine if you eat them.

My aunt didn't doubt it, asked me to thank the friend, and went back to the kitchen.

I was alone behind the door and watched for a while, but I didn't notice anything unusual, and then I gradually relaxed.

The effect of the mandrill was immediate, and when I was eating, I found that my aunt had taken off the thick cotton jacket and her appetite was a little better than usual.

After eating, I slept at my third uncle's house, because I was worried that the mandrill would come back.

But I hardly slept that night, and I could always hear the faint cry of the mandrill, and when I listened closely, it was gone, and I almost thought I was hallucinating.

I got up and opened the door to look for it, and then I heard another sound, and I couldn't help but be surprised as I walked over the sound.

The mandrill really didn't leave, it was curled up in a chicken coop, with six hands and legs, and its head looked like the skull of a dead monkey, dry and thin, and it was almost the same as the one that Chen Laogen knocked off my back last time.

"Damn!" I hurried back to the door, grabbed the peach branch in my hand, and then carefully poked the chicken cage.

The mandrill slowly opened its eyes, and its eyes were different from the last one, they were silver, with vertical pupils, and they looked very terrifying.

As soon as it saw me, it immediately struggled in fear and wanted to escape, but the strange thing was that the hole in the chicken coop was obviously bigger than its body, but it couldn't get out.

And this kind of bullet method also hurt it, it screamed in pain, and the black smoke on its body was "sizzling", and after a while, it lay down again, and collapsed in it weakly.

I kind of get it, this chicken coop is trapping it!

Chicken cages and kennels are all things with a lot of yang, especially the big roosters and black dogs.

It was restrained by yang energy and couldn't run out!

I was a little speechless for a while, what luck did I have, I actually swept it into the chicken coop.

But at the same time, it also produces a difficult result, how to deal with it?

After thinking about it carefully, I thought it would be better to ask Huang Mao for advice, so I picked up the chicken coop with a peach wood branch and hung it in front of the motorcycle, drove to the broken brick kiln where the corpses were burned twice before, stored the chicken coop in it, and called Huang Mao.

As a result, Huang Mao's phone was simply disconnected.

I was in a hurry but there was no way to do it, and it wasn't like that to wait, so I went back to the store first.

For the rest of the day, I couldn't get in touch with him.

With nothing to do during the day, I simply made up for sleep and slept until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Meng Shuisheng came to me to get my high school textbook, saying that my aunt had a very good effect after taking my "medicine", her illness was much better, she didn't feel cold, and she was much more energetic; My aunt said thank you, and thank you to the friend who gave me the medicine.

I was naturally overjoyed that the "root cause" that had tormented my aunt for several years had finally been removed.

After this incident, my good impression of Chen Laogen has increased greatly.

……

At about eleven o'clock the next night, Chen Laogen came as promised, and the black umbrella was finally collected, hung on his shoulder, and said nothing, letting me go with him.

I hurriedly followed him and thanked him, saying that my aunt's illness was much better.

He said that it was not easy to find, but once it was found, it was easy to deal with, and as for the mandrill, let it go first, leave it alone.

I said yes, and then I found that he was going in the direction of his old house, and he hurried.

Not long after, he really took me to the gate of the old mansion, and through the gate of the old mansion, I found that there was a fire inside.

I was taken aback, the old house is where I and my grandfather lived since childhood, since my grandfather died, I saw things and thought about people, and it was inconvenient to do business back and forth, so I lived in the store and rarely went back here.

The key to the door is only for me and the third uncle, and the door lock is obviously hung on the door, how can there be light inside?

"Open the door." Chen Laogen said to me.

I said okay, took out the key to unlock the door, and Chen Laogen pushed the door.

"Squeak...... Nga ......" The door slowly opened with a tooth-aching grinding sound.

I saw a dim oil lamp lit on the table in the hall inside, the light was weak and yellow, but it was not it that attracted my attention, but something square in the middle of the hall.

Coffin!

If I look closely, I am even more shocked to grow my mouth, grandpa's coffin!

I was stunned, my grandfather's coffin was not swept away by the skinner, how could it be in my old mansion?

And it's only less than a hundred meters away from grandpa's peach blossom cemetery!

What's the situation?!

The coffin obviously went to the ranger's hut in the forest farm, why did it turn around and almost return to the original point?

I instinctively looked at Chen Laogen, but he didn't explain, but said, "Open the coffin." ”

"Open the coffin?" I was stunned and immediately shook my head.

But before I could say the words of refusal, Chen Laogen said: "Your grandfather left you something in the coffin, and it is also the ultimate goal of those who snatch the coffin and the feminine thing, if you don't open it, you and your grandfather will never be at peace, this is also his dying will." ”

"Will?" I was stunned, grandpa actually left something for me in the coffin?

Why? Why should I put something in a coffin? Since ancient times, opening a coffin has been regarded as unfilial piety, and it is a very taboo thing.

"The reason why your grandfather didn't tell you his true identity was because he wanted you to stay away from the Dharma practice and become an ordinary person, so he would bring things into the coffin, but now, you are getting farther and farther away from ordinary people's lives, and the things inside will help you." Chen Laogen was stunned when he saw me and explained.

I hesitated, on the one hand, I didn't want to disturb my grandfather, he was already at peace, and now he had to open the coffin...... But Chen Laogen's words can't help but listen, grandpa's funeral is the law he did.

"Let's go, it's too late to miss the hour, don't let down your grandfather's hard work." Chen Laogen's speed of speech suddenly increased a little, and he sounded a little anxious.

After saying that, he picked up a crowbar that had been prepared a long time ago next to it and gave it to me, which was covered with fine lines, and at first glance it looked like something that had been blessed by the Dharma practice.

I nodded, took the crowbar and walked to the coffin, knelt down and kowtowed to my grandfather nine times, then wedged the crowbar under the coffin lid and pressed it down hard.

The coffin nails suddenly made a chirping sound, and they rose up little by little.

At this moment, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly vibrate, and I hurriedly stopped and took it out to take a look, and the words "Chen Laogen" were prominent on it.

Chen Laogen called!

In an instant, I felt a chill rush from the soles of my feet to my head.

The call was from Chen Laogen, so who is this Chen Laogen in front of him?!

I twisted my neck stiffly, just in time to see "Chen Laogen" slowly closing the door with his hands behind his back, he stared at me, and the corners of his mouth raised a trace of an extremely evil smile.

I suddenly fell into an ice cave, something bad is wrong!
