Chapter 20: Humans and Ghosts Are Inseparable

Unwillingly, I tried hard again, but I still got nothing.

I had no choice but to give up.

This frightening half an hour made my heart palpitate, and I couldn't relax at all. I spent the rest of the night in a state of panic, and it wasn't until a rooster crowed in the early hours of the morning that I completely collapsed under the wall and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was awakened by a knock on the door, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.

"Boss Meng, open the door." Some familiar voices came from outside the window.

When I looked at it, I instinctively shuddered, it was He Laoqi's son! That thing last night was the one who tricked me into opening the door in his appearance, and it has a psychological shadow.

I looked at my phone and found that it was already seven o'clock, so I relaxed, got up and took off the peach pits on the doors and windows and held them in the palm of my hand, opened the door, and if there was anything abnormal in Mr. He's son, he would smash the four peach pits together.

I'm so scared!

Seeing that I was on guard, Mr. He's son seemed to have tasted something, and his face became ugly, but he quickly disguised it, and hurriedly ran to Mr. He, picked him up and put him flat on the hospital bed.

"Why didn't you come back last night?" I asked, he must know something, I can't figure out what He Laoqi said to him.

"Oh...... I...... I suddenly remembered that there was something going on at home, so I went home first, but I didn't expect to be delayed, and I didn't get out all night. He Laoqi's son said very unnaturally.

I wanted to scold my mother in my heart, but he obviously ran away and defended himself.

After thinking about it, I didn't bother to beat around the bush, and asked directly: "How much do you know?" ”

As I spoke, I kicked the half of my finger at the door and said, "Look at this thing, I don't know if I will come back tonight." ”

When He Laoqi's son saw it, his face turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his mouth trembled, but he didn't say a word.

I was suddenly a little angry, I almost took my life in order to save He Laoyu, he turned out to be this attitude. I gritted my teeth and didn't bother to care, I love to talk about it or not, anyway, I won't come again tonight, Chen Laogen wants to protect Lao He and come by himself, Lao Tzu won't play.

I turned around and left, went back to the store to wash up, and was sweating all night last night, and then sent a text message to Huang Mao and Chen Laogen, explaining the matter briefly.

I made up for a nap in the morning, and in the afternoon I did a few orders of business and drove to my grandfather's graveyard, one to investigate the situation, I was afraid that the Feng family would dig again, and the other was to pick up some more peach pits, this thing is so useful, in case something happens, it can come in handy.

When I took back the four white smoke peach pits last night, I found that the "Fire Entangled Dragon" pattern on them had disappeared, and it must have worked, otherwise the thing would not just drag me outside, but rushed directly into the ward.

I carefully rummaged under each peach tree, trying not to miss any corner. I searched about half of the place, picked up five or six, and then the sun was gradually setting in the west, so I rode back, intending to come back tomorrow.

On the way back, I met the third uncle, he carried a newly bought steamed wine, saw me and said, "Xiao Lei, no one went to your store just now, did you go to the old uncle?" ”

I nodded yes, I don't have to worry about going to see it.

The third uncle nodded, "Don't worry too much about that, Shui Sheng is idle at home during the summer vacation, I will ask him to help you keep an eye on it, and notify you immediately if there is a situation, you still have peace of mind to do your business, these days I heard others say that you always close the store, did you encounter something else?" ”

I hesitated and shook my head, but I still didn't tell him about those tricks, so as not to worry about him.

But there is one thing that can be confirmed from the side, and that is whether my grandfather knows how to do it.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Third uncle, do you know where my grandfather has gone in the twenty years since he left the village?" ”

The third uncle shook his head and said, "Uncle has never talked about it, that year was very chaotic, he fled alone, and his life must not be good, probably I don't want to talk about it." ”

I frowned slightly, if my grandfather really knew how to do it, then his life trajectory must have changed in the past 20 years, and my parents, no one in the township has ever seen them, and I was picked up by my grandfather directly from outside.

If it is inferred in this way, the grandfather has become a family outside; I had my grandmother and my parents, but I don't know what happened, my grandfather took me back to the village and kept his mouth shut about it.

After a few more conversations, still nothing.

"Uncle's affairs are all old, don't think about it, it's still your marriage matter now, yesterday I went to Xu's house to explore the style, I'm afraid the dowry will have to be added, it's a matter of how much, I'll discuss it in two days, let them try to point as little as possible, it's not easy for you to run the store alone." The third uncle said.

I can't help but be irritable, Xu Jiaojiao's family is too tasteless, the marriage that has been set has been added halfway, if you really feel that you marry your daughter and lose money, you can discuss it with me, and give a little more in other names, but the last time Xu Jiaojiao asked for money, it was very angry when I thought about it.

But in front of the third uncle, it was not good to cool the third uncle's heart, so he had to nod and say yes.

"During this time, you do business well and make more money, this year is different, there are fewer female babies and more male babies, and it is normal for women to have a little temperament, and you can also call to greet and greet in a few days, men, it is good to be able to bend and stretch." The third uncle saw that my face was not good, and persuaded again.

Despite my reluctance, I agreed, and he was doing it for my good.

Later, I asked my aunt about her condition, and her illness had not improved for several years, and even had a tendency to get worse and worse, so I was very worried.

The third uncle sighed and smiled, "It's still the same, no, I'm going to make some wine to make peach blossoms in the coming year, your aunt has no other hobbies, she loves to drink some peach blossom wine, and the old Chinese medicine doctor in the county said that drinking more wine to invigorate the blood is good for the disease." ”

"Peach blossom wine?" I was slightly stunned and said, "Is it the peach blossoms from those peach blossom trees on Grandpa's grave?" ”

The third uncle said yes, my head flashed, those peach trees are not ordinary peach trees, but fire peach wood, Huang Mao said that the fire peach wood is fierce, and it is difficult for ordinary people to bear it.

I ate peaches when I was a child and had a perennial nosebleed, so my aunt's illness shouldn't have anything to do with peach blossoms, right?

When the third uncle saw that my face was different, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I shook my head and said that it was nothing, it was just my own speculation, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense now, but just in case, I still asked my aunt not to drink peach blossom wine for the time being.

The third uncle asked the reason, and I said that I couldn't tell it for a while, and I would wait for someone to ask, and the third uncle agreed despite being skeptical.

After that, we said a few more words and parted.

Back at the store, the sky has gradually darkened, I think of He Laoqi, that thing moved last night, I don't know what the situation is tonight.

Mr. He's son didn't come to me again, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

At this moment, the phone suddenly remembered, I picked it up and looked at it, I was overjoyed, it was Huang Mao!

After the phone was connected, Huang Mao asked me what happened last night, I said it 1510, and by the way, I also said that He Laoqi said that the ghost came back, Huang Mao exclaimed: "You dare to open the door when the ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night, you really don't know whether to live or die!" ”

"Haven't I been deceived?"

I also had palpitations, how did I know that that thing was so cunning, I almost got hit, I thought about it and asked, "That...... Are ghosts powerful? ”

"It depends on the situation, but it's true that it's hard to entangle." Huang Mao Road.

"How?" I asked.

"We say that a person is smart and will use the word ghost, which means that a ghost is often a very cunning existence, and if you are not careful, you will catch its way, and if it is attached to a person, you can't tell whether it is a human or a ghost at all." Huang Mao explained.

I heard it numb, no wonder Huang Mao was very jealous when he mentioned ghosts, think about it, there is no distinction between people and ghosts, maybe there is a ghost lurking around him, but he still treats it as a human.

"So how do you tell the difference? With dog blood, or child urine? "I asked, these are the ways that folklore can restrain ghosts.

"Those things are useless against possessed ghosts." Huang Mao said: "The most direct way is to stab it, the one who bleeds is a person, and the one who has no blood is a ghost!" ”

I was speechless and said, "What kind of method is this, what if I stab the wrong one, I won't be a murderer?" ”

"So you know how tough that thing is, right? So there are some things you can listen to, and take care of yourself first. Huang Mao meant something.

Naturally, I understood what he meant, he was suggesting that I should not take Chen Laogen's words too seriously; Thinking about it, I almost killed myself three times when I heard Chen Laogen three times.

And every time he didn't explain it afterwards, he transferred the regiment under my command.

"I'll talk about other things when I get back, be careful." After that, Huang Mao gave another word of advice and hung up the phone.

I was going to ask about Peach Blossom Wine, but I didn't interject. Seeing that it was getting dark, I closed the doors and windows and prepared to spend the night.

I thought that Mr. He's son would come to me, or Mr. Chen would make a phone call to ask me what happened last night.

As a result, the wind was calm, he seemed to have been forgotten, even the doll in red did not appear, quietly, nothing happened.

The next day, I couldn't help but go to the health center, but I was told by the nurse on duty that Mr. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and I don't know where I went.

I immediately went to the broken earth kiln where He Laoqi usually lived, but I didn't see anyone, so I called Cao Nan again and wanted to ask He Laoqi if he had gone home. It just so happened that He Laoqi's son lived next to Cao Nan's wood processing factory, and if He Laoqi went home, he would definitely know.

Cao Nan listened and said: "He didn't go home, but went to the Little Red Mansion, and the widow sent someone to pick him up, I really saw it." ”

"Little Red Mansion?!" I was speechless for a moment.

That building is too eye-catching in Jinpen Township, it is completely another rich world, and it can't match the villagers facing the loess with their backs to the sky.

Although the widow is a "goblin" that many men think about for a long time, she is high, that is, she just thinks about it. Not to mention ordinary people, even the people in the police station and the township government respect the widow for three points, and the three major state-run forest farms are said to have business dealings with her, and her hands and eyes are open to the sky.

The current situation is that the widow of the rich side actually took away the poor begging He Laoyu, which is too paradoxical.

When I mentioned the Little Red Mansion, I thought of Huang Mao again, that guy walked around the Little Red Mansion last time, but after he came out, he didn't say a word, but said a bunch of inexplicable things to me.
