"Grandpa, are you looking for something? Why is it that every time I see you, you are looking for something? ”

As soon as Longyang is free, he likes to go to the ancestral house of the old patriarch, and after the old patriarch dies, it will be clean.

This is a courtyard built in the flattest place in the mountain, and every major festival or festival, all the people in the village come here to discuss the important affairs of the clan. On weekdays, there are also a few old people chatting here, and of course, the young people in the village come to say hello.

But now, everyone only comes here when there is an intra-clan meeting, and there are not many people coming and going on weekdays.

Long Yang often comes, because he can see grandpa here, he said that he can see his father again, he wants to ask when he can?

Every time he asked, the old patriarch ignored him, couldn't the old patriarch hear what he said, or did the old patriarch not care about his own problems? Long Yang wanted to change the topic and ask, so there was the above question.

"Can you really see me?" The old patriarch turned around abruptly and asked Long Yang.

Long Yang was shocked by the sudden questioning, oh my God! This is not an illusion, this is true, Long Yang didn't know how to answer for a while, just looked at the old patriarch in a daze.

"Boy, don't you talk to me a lot? Why don't you say it now. The old patriarch asked with a pretended seriousness.

"I, I, grandpa, is this true?"

"Can you see that I'm real?"

"Yes, yes" Long Yang eagerly explained, this was a good opportunity to inquire about his father Long Shaoyun, and he was unwilling to let it go, although he was a little scared.

"So what he said is true, you are really different." The old patriarch muttered to himself.

"Who is he? What is true? ”

"We'll talk about that later." The old patriarch said lightly.

"Grandpa, what are you looking for? Why is it that every time I see you, you are looking for something everywhere, inside and outside the house. You tell me, I'll help you find it, okay? Seeing that the old patriarch was willing to talk to him, Long Yang knew that this was a good start.

"You're too young to find it."

"I'm small and weak, but I can do my best to help you, you trust me." Long Yang said solemnly, and clenched his little fists to show his resoluteness.

"I'm looking for my body, can you help me?" The old patriarch said to Long Yang with a smile, although the smile he said was cute, it made people sound creepy.

"This, this" Long Yang couldn't answer the old patriarch's question, and he didn't think that the old patriarch was looking for his own body, which made him incomprehensible.

"Well, you can't help me!"

"Grandpa, how do you say you asked me to help you? I can do it! The old patriarch's question aroused Long Yang's stubborn temper, and it was also the courage not to admit defeat.

"Since you said yes, then don't regret it, you can only know about this matter alone, and you are not allowed to tell anyone else. And you have to do this alone, can you do it? ”

"I did it, but I had one condition."

"Little guy, if you don't study well, you want to talk to me about the conditions, I know your conditions, I don't agree to your conditions! Forget it, I don't want you to do my business! The old patriarch became angry, and his illusory figure trembled slightly.

"Grandpa, don't be angry, I don't talk about conditions." It seems that if you want to ask about your father, you can only let it go, and the old patriarch will not agree to him at the moment.

"Okay, do you know where I'm buried?"

"Yes, I heard from the people in the village that it was in a cave behind the top of the mountain."

"Yes, three days later, on the night of the fifteenth full moon, I told you to be there at eight o'clock in the evening, to see what was going on, and then come back and tell me that you don't have to do anything else, you know? Just take a look and watch your safety. After the old patriarch said this, he slowly walked into the ancestral house, and when he arrived at the door, the figure had disappeared.

Three days later, on the night of the fifteenth full moon, he arrived at eight o'clock, when it was already dark, and the night in the mountains came early.

Long Yang counted the time every day, and he had to prepare an excuse for his mother to agree to go out.

Fifteen, at half past six o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.

"Mom, I'm going to the dog's house at the bottom of the mountain to do my homework, there are a lot of homework today, and it may be late." Long Yang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up, and said to his mother.

"Oh, it's okay for two people to do their homework together, you can learn from each other, but it's not too late." Longyang's mother also has to do handicrafts at night, and ask people who go out of the mountain to help take them to the mountains and sell them out, so that they can also supplement the family, and they can do it late at night every day.

The dog baby's house and Jin Qin's house are close doors, so Jin Qin is also relieved that Longyang will come to his house.

"Then I'm leaving." Long Yang put on the military package on his back and went out casually. This military bag is Long Shaoyun's work bag, and it is also the only supplies he brought back from the army. Since Longyang went to school, this bag has become Longyang's schoolbag, and his mother also embroidered the four words of study on the schoolbag. At the same time, there is also Long Yang's name in the schoolbag, which is a mark made by his mother for him, although this bag is the only one in the class and is different.

Long Yang detoured from the way down the mountain to the way up the mountain, and ran straight to the top of the mountain. Since I agreed with the old patriarch at eight o'clock, it can't be late, and besides, the mountain road is not easy to walk, so I still walk at night.

"Quack!"

The wild birds in the mountains and forests chirp from time to time, the children in the mountains are used to hearing the chirping of mountain birds, and Longyang sometimes naughtily catches mountain birds, and the call at night is different.

"Call again, be careful that I catch you to improve your food!"

Long Yang's mouth is so ruthless, in fact, he is emboldened for himself. Why is the birdsong at night so empty, and the sound has become much more miserable.

"Whew!"

I don't know if it was the howling of the mountain wind or the low roar of the beast, Long Yang had a layer of goosebumps on his body, and his hairs stood on end.

It seems that when I get home from school, it is also dark, how can I not be so terrifying. By the way, at that time, there was a dog baby with him as a companion, and the two of them ran crazy and arrived home. Besides, the dog baby has a flashlight, and with the light, he loses his fear. Why didn't I think of going to the dog's house to borrow a flashlight just now, hey, forget it.

Long Yang stubbornly walked to the top of the mountain, thinking that his father would protect him, and his heart was much more relaxed.

The further you go to the top of the mountain, the stronger the mountain wind gets.

The cave behind the summit is where the remains of the previous patriarchs of the mountain village are kept. The mountain village has always preserved the customs and did not respond to the call of the state to cremate the corpses. The patriarchs of the village are the people with the highest rank and prestige in the village, and after their death, the whole village mourns and worships, and then the young adults in the village carry them to the top of the mountain and place them in the cave behind the mountain.

It is said that it is the best place for feng shui in the vicinity, which can keep the people of the village safe, the wind and rain are smooth, the grain is abundant, and the six animals are prosperous.

When Long Yang came to the back of the mountain, a five-meter-sized hole was like a giant mouth devoured by a monster under the reflection of the moonlight, which made people look sideways.

It should be almost time, Long Yang hid behind the rocks outside the cave, and the moonlight was no longer enough to shine on the deeper parts of the cave, but Long Yang could vaguely see a new coffin placed on the outermost. Because the inside is full of the remains of the previous old patriarchs, this outermost coffin should be the old patriarch.

"Plop!"

A sound broke the silence of the night on the top of the mountain, attracting Long Yang's attention.
