Chapter 57: The Truth of the Matter

The old man seemed to have been immersed in his own memories, and he didn't pay any attention to the changes in Zhou Hexuan's face.

Zhou Hexuan listened to the old man's story, his face changed and changed, what the old man said was the opposite of the mother-in-law's, in the mouth of the mother-in-law, her old man died in the hands of those people and was eaten, but in the old man's statement, it was the mother-in-law who was killed and cooked......

Zhou Hexuan had countless thoughts in his heart for a while, and the two old men seemed to be reminiscing when they told him, and their faces couldn't tell that they were lying, but Zhou Hexuan knew that one of these two people must have lied to himself......

For a while, Zhou Hexuan didn't know who to believe, his eyes looked at the big iron pot in the corner, the iron pot was only one step away from him, but this time he instinctively resisted the iron pot.

The old man did not speak again, and the cellar fell silent again.......

"Boy, can you do me a favor....."

Just when Zhou Hexuan was struggling in his heart, the voice of the old man suddenly came to his ears.

Zhou Hexuan didn't react for a while.

"Young man, I know she asked you to come, and she told you to take her bones from here, right? She still can't let go, it's been two years, she still can't let go, that incident is not anyone's fault, it's God's fault, God has sent this disaster, it's a natural disaster, why can't she let it go......"

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and the voice seemed to ring in Zhou Hexuan's ears.

"You...... What do you want me to help you? ”

Zhou Hexuan was afraid that this old man would give him another blow, so he hurriedly pulled the topic back.

When the old man heard Zhou Hexuan mention business, his emotions slowly calmed down.

"Young man, I know that you are still suspicious in the face of my words in your heart, but I can only tell you, I didn't lie to you, my last wish is very simple, I want to see her again, I died here, it was suicide, so there is no way to leave from this courtyard, I originally thought that she could put down the resentment in her heart and come back to me, but I was wrong, she still can't forget everything at the beginning, those people are dead, why can't she let go, young man, if you can bring her over, I will give you the ring knife, If I can really see her, it will be my wish, and it doesn't matter if I keep the knife or not......."

The old man's words were very sincere, but Zhou Hexuan was still because he didn't know that the old woman had a problem before, but now he knew that the old woman was likely to be the real resentful spirit, Zhou Hexuan said that he was not afraid that it would be a lie.

"Young man, you don't have to be so afraid, she won't hurt you......"

"Why?"

Zhou Hexuan instinctively asked back when he heard the old man's words.

"Huh..... You're special....."

"Special?"

The old man's words made Zhou Hexuan stunned at first, and then surprised, yes, he is indeed special, because he should not have appeared here, this should have been a non-existent world for him, Zhou Hexuan didn't know how the story would have gone if he didn't exist, or that there was originally one person in it, but the protagonist was replaced by his own appearance, everything is unknown.

But Zhou Hexuan knew that if he made a slight mistake, it would be a catastrophe.

However, Zhou Hexuan is still very surprised that the old man can see his difference, although the old man is a ghost, he should only be a character in the story, how can he see his difference, or this is one of the links in the story? Everything is just his own guess?

Zhou Hexuan's face changed a few times, but he didn't ask more.

The old man didn't say anything more, but asked, "You can tell her everything I have to say, and if she is willing to come back, she will naturally come back, and if she is not willing, she will come back, and if she is not willing, she will ........"

When the old man's words came to this, Zhou Hexuan's heart suddenly rose.

The old man hesitated.

"If she doesn't want to, you let her come and take her head herself......."

Zhou Hexuan's heart sank instantly, does this old man think he is stupid? If the old woman was really a resentful spirit, he dared to say that, and people would definitely dare to dig a pit and bury herself......

What's more, now he doesn't know who the two are lying, if this old man is lying to himself, what will be the result?

However, Zhou Hexuan thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed, his willingness is very simple, if this old man is the real resentful ghost, then he can take this opportunity to leave, if not, then the last wish that the ghost card task needs to be completed by himself is not the request of the mother-in-law that he thought at the beginning, and he still has to go back to the cemetery to find the old woman.

Zhou Hexuan took one last look at the ordinary iron pot, if his guess was wrong, maybe his current decision would let him slip through the closest chance of success......

Zhou Hexuan climbed out of the cellar and left the yard alone, the old man did not stop him, and soon, Zhou Hexuan left the village.

It's still the same path, but Zhou Hexuan feels like he will never come to an end.

But all this was just his illusion, and soon the graveyard appeared in front of his eyes, and there were lonely graves standing there, but there was only one with a tombstone, and that was the grave of the mother-in-law.

Zhou Hexuan bypassed all the graves, and soon came to the place where he appeared every time, but this time there was no figure of the old woman, Zhou Hexuan stood there, but his heart was in his throat.

Just when Zhou Hexuan was thinking about what to say, a flower suddenly appeared in front of him, and the figure of the old woman appeared in front of him.

"Didn't you find his bones?"

The old woman's gaze swept over Zhou Hexuan's hand, but she didn't see anything.

Zhou Hexuan didn't know if it was an illusion, but felt that the old woman seemed to be suppressing something when she said this, and her tone was a little different from every time she woke herself up before.

Zhou Hexuan gritted his teeth.

"Mother-in-law, I went back to look for it, the whole village searched, but I still couldn't find his bones, I only saw a skull in an iron pot, but I don't know if it's your wife's, but the other bones haven't been found......."

Zhou Hexuan lied a little, and just when he mentioned the skull and the iron pot, Zhou Hexuan obviously felt a slight change in the old man's eyes, and Zhou Hexuan's heart stopped beating in an instant.

"That's... Then you didn't take his skull... Bring it back? ”

There was nothing strange about the old woman looking calm when she said this, but Zhou Hexuan could feel the depression in her words.

Zhou Hexuan now has some guesses in his heart, but he is not stupid enough to listen to the old man's words and tell the mother-in-law straight to the point, maybe as soon as his words come out, the old woman will directly turn into a demon and tear him apart.......

"Mother-in-law, I thought that even if it was really your wife's skull, I still needed to find other skeletons, so I didn't bring them back, not to mention that if it wasn't for empty joy, mother-in-law, or I'll go back and look for it now, maybe I can find other skeletons somewhere, and I'll bring you back and bury you together......."

Zhou Hexuan obviously felt that the old woman's face had changed a little when he said the first half of the sentence, but after listening to his later words, he slowly recovered as before.

Zhou Hexuan tried his best to make himself appear calmer.

His words fell, and the old man didn't say anything, and only after half a sound did he speak: "Young man, this time I am bothering you, but if you really can't find other bones, then you can bring back that skull first, perhaps, the other bones have been lost in the confusion at the beginning........"

The old woman's words showed a hint of sadness, but Zhou Hexuan knew that the old man was just pretending to deceive himself......

"That'..... Mother-in-law, I'm going to ...... By the way, mother-in-law, I met an old man in the village......"

Zhou Hexuan was just about to leave, but this time he turned around as if he remembered something, and turned his head to the old woman and said.

"Old... Old man? Is it male or female? ”

The old woman raised her head violently when she heard Zhou Hexuan's words, and there was a fierce light in her eyes that was incompatible with her previous kindness.

Zhou Hexuan swallowed his saliva secretly, and said directly: "It's an old grandfather, and he asked me to stay overnight, but I was in a hurry to find your wife's bones, so I didn't stay anywhere......"

When the old woman heard Zhou Hexuan say that he was an old man, her eyes obviously fluctuated.

"That'..... Did he tell you anything.......

"What did you talk about?"

Zhou Hexuan pretended to be contemplative and reminiscing, and it didn't take long for him to suddenly realize.

"By the way, my mother-in-law really mentioned something to me, he said that he has been waiting for people somewhere, but he has been waiting for two years and still hasn't been able to wait...... Didn't you say that there are no living people in this village, old woman? This old man has lived there for two years, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I would have seen it......."

This time the old woman did not reply, she stood there stunned, as if she was remembering something.

Zhou Hexuan looked at the old woman like this, and couldn't help but get up and down again in his heart, the reason why he mentioned this matter so strangely was not to let the old woman go back voluntarily, of course, it was also for the sake of her own life, not to blame the outsider, the old woman didn't bury him by chopping and chopping......

The old woman had been thinking about it for a long time, and just when Zhou Hexuan thought that the old man would go back, the old man seemed to remember something, but the warmth in his eyes instantly became cold.

"Young man, I don't know what that old guy said to you, but don't listen to him, he's not a human being, he's just a lonely ghost, you go back and help me get my wife's corpse first, no, you bring back my old man's skull first, and the rest will trouble you to go back......"

The old woman really seems to be unable to wait, or rather...... She didn't want to keep pretending.......

As soon as Zhou Hexuan saw this, his expression instantly closed, and he didn't dare to continue talking nonsense here, if he was seen that everything was pretending, it would end ......
