Shen Mo leaned into my arms with a smile and said softly:

"You're so nice! I really want to help her! To be honest, she is more important to me than even my mother! ”

Shen Mo's evaluation made me feel a little surprised, I never thought that this person was so important to her, but he didn't show it for such a long time, which made me feel very surprised.

The next morning, we went to the mountain not far away, there were no tall trees on the mountain, most of them were some bushes, which was indeed more suitable for mushroom growth.

Standing on the mountain and looking down, you can directly see the small building of Shen Mo's cousin's house, but after searching the entire mountain, I still can't find anything that might cause my cousin's state.

I have some suspicions that this state of hers doesn't seem to have happened since she got here.

On the way down the mountain, I asked Shen Mo:

"When did your cousin become reluctant to let you see her?"

Shen Mo thought for a while and said:

"Probably since I was in school, once I went back to see her, she didn't seem to be very happy, not in a good state, has always been silent, she was never like that before, I was a little puzzled, because she was very good to me since I was a child, when I was young, every winter and summer vacation had to take me to her house to live for a month, but from that time on, she didn't seem to like letting me go, and said that it would make my mother unhappy.

Because of this incident, I also got angry with my mother, but my mother was stunned, saying that she had never thought about it like this, and she didn't show the slightest such thought, and then I thought about it, every winter and summer vacation, my mother took the initiative to send me over, and she always told me to go to see my cousin often.

But I really couldn't figure out what was going on with her. Later, when I graduated and worked, I had less and less time, and then she moved here, and the first time I came, it was fine, at least let me in, but the second time I came, she didn't let me see her at all. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Mo suddenly remembered something, stared at me and said:

"I remember, the first time I saw those boxes was when I was in college, and I wondered why she had to make such a dirty box and put it in her house, and it was so tightly wrapped."

After listening to her words, I carefully recalled the boxes I saw at her cousin's house last night, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal, but they were very messy.

Shen Mo didn't seem to realize that I was thinking, and said to himself:

"You said that you can put it at home, but then when I gradually hid, I began to put it everywhere, no matter what I said, she refused to listen, once I wanted to help her clean up, she was still anxious with me!"

Placed!

Right! Herein lies the problem!

I immediately understood that it was a problem of placement!

The placement of those boxes seems to be chaotic, but in fact, they are completely arranged in a pattern similar to a formation!

Although I don't know much about this, I can still see a little bit after knowing Lao Zhou for so long.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a formation of praying for blessings and asking for life, and the easiest way to explain it is to imitate Zhuge Liang's way of borrowing his life from the sky.

It's just that the difference in efficacy is the difference between heaven and earth, and the kind that Aunt Shen Mo used should have been specially taught to her, and the effect is not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the seven-star lamp. Moreover, this kind of thing seems to need a living sacrifice to maintain its operation, and it needs to be continuously increased to barely maintain it.

If that's the case, her disappeared chickens and ducks are easy to explain, but those chickens and ducks are not lost, but killed by herself!

But how would she say that Shen Mo's mother was lost? Shouldn't you have mentioned this at all?

With doubts, Shen Mo and I came to the small building again, and after turning around downstairs, we found that in the corner of the corner of the building, there were indeed some chickens and ducks, which did not look big, and they had just faded their feathers.

It seems that she needs more and more of these things, and those chickens and ducks are obviously male and can't lay eggs, so what are these things for?

turned around and pulled Shen Mo upstairs and knocked on the door again.

After Aunt Shen Mo opened the door, she was a little surprised to see us, I saw a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't plan to let us in.

Shen Mo wanted to speak, but was stopped by me.

I stared into Aunt Shen Mo's eyes and said:

"Auntie, I think you may have been deceived, you can't actually do anything by doing this, in fact, you can only continue to lose your longevity."

The expression on Shen Mo's cousin's face froze suddenly, and I took the opportunity to squeeze in with Shen Mo and find a place to sit down.

Shen Mo's cousin walked to the chair and sat down with difficulty, and said weakly:

"You guys go quickly, I've already said it, you don't need to come to see me, I'm living well alone."

I smiled at her, didn't speak, and lit a cigarette with my head down.

I gently put my hand in my pocket and took out the pendant that Lao Zhou gave me.

At the moment when the atmosphere gradually solidified, I suddenly raised my head and shouted angrily:

"Brute! Not out yet?! ”

Shen Mo's cousin's body shook violently, and a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes.

"You don't cry when you don't see the coffin, do you? Good! I'll open your eyes! ”

In fact, from the moment Shen Mo's cousin opened the door, I smelled a smell of wine in the room, which obviously did not emanate from Shen Mo's cousin.

Following the smell, I walked to the corner of the back room and kicked hard at an apparently patched spot.

"Smack!"

There was a crisp cracking sound, and a hole had been cut in the wall and sealed with a wooden plank, and there was a hole the thickness of an arm where it connected to the ground.

I reached out and took the plank, and there was a weasel more than a foot long, covered in alcohol, sleeping, and snoring slightly.

Shen Mo's cousin hurriedly stood up and said in a loud voice:

"Don't be alarmed! Don't be alarmed! ”

I leaned over and grabbed the weasel, grabbed its neck and held it up in front of Aunt Shen Mo, and said lightly:

"Auntie, you have been fooled, this thing does have some Taoism, but if you want to continue your life against the sky, it is simply nonsense, it doesn't have that ability at all! It's been deceiving you for so many years! ”

Shen Mo's cousin stood there, looked at me in a daze, and asked:

"Don't talk nonsense! This is impossible, if it weren't for this, if it weren't for the Great Immortal, I would have died a long time ago! ”

I laughed, reached for the sewing kit on the table, took out a needle, and pierced the weasel in the nose like a cow.
