Chapter 253: The Four Great Gates (39)

Wait, no!

With the old village chief's mentality at that time, his old man should not have recorded it that day, after all, when that kind of major event happened in the beef brisket village, the old village chief could not still be in the mood to write a diary.

In other words, it is likely that the diary was written after the fact.

So here's the problem.

Since it was written after the fact, his old man should have recorded the events of that year in full time.

To use a simple analogy, in his old man's diary, when he writes about a trivial family matter, his old man will record it 1510, and there is never a sign of using a few words to describe a certain event.

As soon as I thought of this, a thought immediately crossed my mind: the diary had been torn up.

At that moment, I picked up the notebook and looked at it carefully for a while, but to my disappointment, there were no traces of tears on it.

However, there is one thing that makes me wonder, that is, there are two very light black marks in the middle of the page where Peng Yumen is written and the page where the tragic one is written.

I raised my hand and wiped it slightly, there were burn marks.

Could it be that some paper has been burned?

The thought flashed through me, and I became more and more sure that someone must have burned me.

I think this is because usually tearing up a diary will leave traces, but if you use something to clamp the paper on both sides and burn the middle paper with a special method, there will be very few traces left, in other words, the paper in the middle is likely to be burned.

And what was burned is likely to be a record of what happened 20 years ago.

Who burned it?

My first thought was Guo Zhen, after all, he had the best chance of getting in touch with this little book.

I took a deep breath, swallowed the doubts in my heart, and roughly flipped through the little notebook, which was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and I slowly got up, and I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, as if I had entered some labyrinth.

When Captain Peng left, he beckoned me to solve this matter, but now, I have no clue, and I don't even know the source of the whole thing.

However, now the whole thing actually involves the four gates, and so far, I only know about the fox.

Besides, I don't know what the sense of direction of the whole thing is, is it for him to find out the murderer who killed his father back then? Or find out some kind of animal in the four gates? Or is it a fundamental solution to this supernatural event?

These doubts hung over my head like a dark cloud, lingering.

"Whew!" I took a deep breath, put the little notebook away, got up slowly, looked up at the sky outside, and prepared to walk outside.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Knock knock, knock knock!"

"Who!" I frowned and subconsciously shouted.

"Little brother, it's me!" There was a rush outside the door.

When I heard it, it was the voice of the whole village head, and I thought to myself, what happened again?

Frankly speaking, since I entered the brisket village, I was afraid of hearing this kind of sound, mainly because every time I heard something impatient, it meant that something was happening.

At that moment, I frowned, slowly opened the door, and found that the whole village chief was standing at the door, and Su Xiaoman was standing next to him.

As soon as she saw me, Su Xiaoman was the first to speak, she looked at me timidly and shouted in a low voice, "Senior brother!" ”

I nodded slightly, and said hello to her, and looked at the village chief.

The whole village chief grabbed my arm and said, "Little brother..., our old village chief's son called you over and said yes..." ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, he ran towards the old village chief's house, and Su Xiaoman followed behind me, and the whole village chief didn't know what was going on, so he didn't follow.

Soon, I came to the old village chief's house.

Before I reached the door, I found that the old village chief's door had begun to hang white, and a big word was hung directly above the door, and a simple mourning hall was tied with cypress branches on both sides.

As soon as I saw this mourning hall, I subconsciously looked at Su Xiaoman on the side, and wondered: "You guys are all doing the funerals in your own home?" ”

I asked this because when we are usually dead, we will move the body to the hall and then build a mourning hall in the hall, and after the old village chief died, he actually started to build a mourning hall in his own house.

Su Xiaoman glanced at me and explained in a low voice, "No... No, I heard that the old village chief once greeted the descendants, saying that after he died, he would build a mourning hall in his own home, and said... The halls in our village are not clean. ”

Well?

The hall is not clean?

Not really!

Traditionally, the cleanest place in a village is the hall, after all, the hall is dedicated to their respective ancestors, and it is also full of aura, and generally dirty things can't get in.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Su Xiaoman guessed something, and hurriedly explained: "Senior brother, the hall in our village is the same as the hall on your side, and our side is a spirit card dedicated to the four gates. ”

Hearing this, I immediately understood, it seems that the old village chief is not very interested in the four gates, and it can even be said that his old man has abandoned the four gates a little in his heart, otherwise, he would never have left such a last word before his death.

This made me breathe a sigh of relief, and without thinking much about it, I walked towards the room.

As soon as I entered the door, a big black coffin was placed in the middle of the house, in front of the coffin was a table of eight immortals, on the table of eight immortals was a black and white photo of the old village chief before his death, and on the side was an incense burner, which was lit with three pillars of incense, and under the table of eight immortals was an iron basin, which had some yellow paper ash.

I glanced at it roughly, and was about to withdraw my gaze.

Suddenly, my eyes stayed on the black and white photo of the old village chief, and I don't know why, I always felt that the old village chief's photo was smiling at me.

However, if you look closely, the photo of his old man is not smiling.

What's going on?

I wiped my eyes vigorously, and looked again, and the old village chief was staring straight ahead with a kind face, just like before.

At this moment, Su Xiaoman pulled me and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

I stopped, said nothing, and prepared to go inside.

However, at this moment, the previous feeling came back to me, and I always felt that the old village chief was smiling at me.

Hell yes, am I dazzled, or what's going on?

I muttered, didn't think much about it, hurriedly fished out some yellow paper, burned it in the iron basin, and muttered a few good words, which roughly meant that the old village chief would not be surprised, I just came to take a look, and there would definitely be no more trouble.

After burning the yellow paper, I walked inside again.

Evilly, I had only walked less than three steps, and subconsciously looked at the old village chief's black and white care, and found that the old village chief was the same as before, smiling at me, and the smile was particularly weird.

Made, what does that mean?

Are I not allowed to go in?

At that moment, I hurriedly looked at Su Xiaoman and asked her if she saw the old village chief laughing, but Su Xiaoman reacted slowly, and it wasn't until I explained a few words that she understood, and quickly shook her head and said, "No, the photo of the old village chief has not been moved!" ”

Her words really made it worse, so that I was stunned in place, and I didn't dare to take a step forward, but at this moment, Guo Zhen came over, grabbed my arm, and pulled me forward.

After just one step, my head slammed as if something had knocked me, and then I slammed my whole body to the ground.
