When the sky finally dawned, a large jewel-like blue light appeared in the originally dark sky, and the moon turned from orange to white, and had faded its brilliance, like a long-washed garment. The village resounded with the cries of chickens one after another. The faint morning light shone in through the window, and the room was dyed with a faint golden mist.

Once again, I woke up from my sleep. The weather was really nice, the sun was shining, and the fresh air was filled with the coolness of mint, which was refreshing.

I got up and went to the mourning hall, but I didn't see anything unusual, and my uncle was still kneeling in front of the mourning hall to keep a watch. I looked at my uncle, looked at the statue in front of the mourning hall, and thought that the coffin lying on the mourning hall was empty, and I was immediately sad. Uncle, what are they hiding from me? Could it be that my grandmother's death is really related to the enemy of the Ma family?

My uncle and grandparents didn't want me to go back to Xiwang Village, maybe they wanted to make the enemies of the Ma family think that the Ma family was dead. They may really be hiding it from me because of this. It's not so much a concealment as a protection. But I don't need them to protect me, and getting the truth is what I want most.

One day my grandmother was about to go out of the funeral, and the Taoist priest who had invited the family to do the Dharma was also here. His name is Chen Sandao, and he is a famous Taoist priest who lives in the easternmost part of Dongwang Village. If someone dies in Dongwang Village and Xiwang Village, they will all look for him to spend their time.

As my grandmother's eldest grandson, I cooperated with Chen Sandao to do some things that the younger generation should do, and I didn't leave home until everything was done and rushed to Chen Mo's house.

During this period, I met a lot of neighbors, relatives and friends, and I greeted them politely, but what I got was broken words behind their backs. They must be scolding me for being unfilial, my grandmother is going to be buried in the mountain tomorrow, and I am going out to play at this time.

Actually, I know all of this, but when I know better, I have to go to Chen Mo and them now. I'm going to tell them everything I saw last night. As the saying goes, three stinkers are worth one Zhuge Liang. Perhaps, by consulting with them, we can get a better way?

The only thing that is certain now is that my grandmother's death is indeed very strange, and there are many secrets hidden in my grandmother's body. I've read my grandmother's notes, and I know who she is, and all I'm thinking about now is how to figure out the contents of the three pages that my grandmother tore off, and how to make my grandmother's death unjust.

"Hey, Chen Mo, are you up?" I dialed Chen Mo's phone.

Chen Mo was stumbling on the other end of the phone, unable to speak.

I was dissatisfied with Chen Mo's performance, and said, "Chen Mo, listen to Lao Tzu, your father and mother are not at home, right?" If you are at home, hurry up and give Lao Tzu out. If you're not at home, I'll go to your house right now. ”

Chen Mo spit out a word for a long time and said, "Xiaoyuan, don't come over." I don't know anything, I don't know anything. ”

After only one night, Chen Mo's attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

I sneered and said, "Chen Mo, you started the matter, but now you have retreated, are you a buddy?" Isn't it a man? ”

Chen Mo didn't answer my words, but hung up the phone. I tried to call Lin Hai's phone, but the line kept busy.

"What the hell happened to these two boys?" I stopped and cursed.

"You don't want to go to Chen Mo's house anymore," Chen Zhen's voice suddenly came from behind, "He won't mess with you anymore." ”

I turned around and found that Chen Zhen was slowly walking towards me, and she was dressed in a beautiful way. I feel a little unhappy in my heart, after all, my grandmother passed away, and the whole village was sad, and they were all dressed in plain clothes, but Chen Zhen is now wearing such a gorgeous and charming outfit, it is clear that she does not take my grandmother in her eyes.

After Chen Zhen approached, he said: "Brother Yuan, you listen to my advice, don't check it any further, you will leave after tomorrow, and leave here forever." ”

I couldn't speak, I felt that the sudden change in Chen Mo's attitude and Lin Hai's phone line could not be connected had a lot to do with Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen suddenly said to me in a warning tone: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" Not only me, but the villagers of Dongwang Village and Xiwang Village will see you as an enemy! ”

"Hmph, didn't they treat me as an enemy since I was a child?" I asked her, "When I was a child, they saw me as if they were a scourge, and now that I'm older, it's not surprising that they still see me as a scourge and an enemy." ”

Chen Zhen reprimanded: "Don't quibble anymore, Brother Yuan. Her tone suddenly became very resentful, "I beg you, will you leave after tomorrow, don't stay here anymore!" ”

Looking at Chen Zhen's resentful eyes and her numbing words, I nodded unconsciously, and said unconsciously in my mouth: "Okay, I promise you." "Since you don't want me to look into it, I won't do it.

Chen Zhen was very happy when she heard this, gave me a hug, and then walked around me to the outside of the village. Looking at Chen Zhen's back, I couldn't figure it out. She is dressed so charmingly and showy, who is she going to see or pick up outside the village? Could it be her boyfriend? Or is it her husband? can only be explained in this way, when do women have to dress themselves up beautifully? Of course, it's time to meet your lover.

I didn't go to Chen Mo's house, and I don't want to go back now. I came to the door of Chen Tianding's house, looking at the barren scene in Chen Tianding's house through the iron gate, thinking of the old ghost I had seen here yesterday, and then thinking about the empty coffin I saw last night, I was instantly upset, and I couldn't calm down.

I really want to get the old ghost out and talk to me right now. But I just want to ask a ghost to come out in broad daylight, it's a fool's dream!

Alas, in this remote and ancient Xiwang Village, is there really not even a person to talk to me?

I looked up at the sun, at the blue sky, and let out a long sigh. Perhaps, as the people here say, I really shouldn't come back, I should get out of here as soon as possible. Chen Weiguo's warning, his uncle's persuasion, his grandfather's harsh admonition and Chen Zhen's repeated persuasion.

I'm afraid, if I continue to investigate, as they said, not only will I be harmed, but the entire Dongwang Village and Xiwang Village may also suffer, right?

I decided, I won't look any further. Grandma, she's dead, so let her die a cleaner death. I remembered my uncle's words last night, "Mother, my son is not filial, and it will not be clean for you to leave." Son, I'm sorry for you." Maybe my uncle found me last night, and he was trying to persuade and scold me.

I keep talking about my respect and filial piety for my grandmother, but why should I be obsessed and stubborn to investigate? My grandmother also advised me to leave as soon as possible in my dream, and everyone advised me to leave as soon as possible, so why don't I smooth their hearts and leave Xiwang Village? I can't let my grandmother go unsafely, I can't let my grandmother go unclean.

After I figured it out, my people were a lot more relaxed. I smiled and left Chen Tianding's house, only to walk a few steps and look back. I promised the old ghost that he would find out his true identity, if I just left, would I break my promise to the old ghost? Well, the old ghost's affairs and my grandmother's affairs are two things that don't go together, I'll go to the old Chentou's house in the west of the village to check now to see if the old ghost is the old Chentou.

I looked at the inner courtyard of Chen Tianding's house, and said in a serious manner: "Old ghost, just wait, I will definitely find out your true identity." "Grandma's notebook records her excessive lonely ghosts, since I have taken over the mantle of the exorcist dragon clan Ma family, I should be like my grandmother and mother, to help the lonely ghosts wandering in the world to be reincarnated.

Xiwang Village is built around the Shuilong Canal, but when the Shuilong Canal is in the mountains, it is handed over to the Shuilong Canal, and when it arrives in Xiwang Village, it is handed over to the Longgou River. Xiwang Village was built on the west side of the Longgou River, and Dongwang Village was built on the east side of the Longgou River. I heard the old people in the village say that the Longgou River (that is, the Shuilong Canal) is the dragon vein of Xiwang Village and Dongwang Village, so the people of the two villages were buried in the Shuilong Canal after they died, the purpose was to go to the Shuilong Canal to guard the dragon vein and protect the safety of Xiwang Village and Dongwang Village.

Lao Chentou's house at the west entrance of Xiwangcun Village is not far from Chen Tianding's house, and I walked for about 20 minutes to come to Lao Chentou's house. Lao Chentou's house is obviously still inhabited, the cleaning is very clean, and you can smell the strong aroma of wine from a distance. It is worthy of being the head of the village!

When I came to the door of Lao Chentou's house, his son Xiao Chentou was burning a fire by the stove. Xiao Chen Tou is 15 years old this year, he doesn't know me, but he knows that I am from the Feng family in the village. He invited me to sit at home, and I asked Xiao Chentou where his father had gone, and Xiao Chentou said that his father had sent wine to my family and had not yet returned.

When I heard Xiao Chentou's words, I also concluded that there was no need to wait for Lao Chentou any longer, because Lao Chentou was still alive, which proved that the old ghost trapped in Chen Tianding's house was not Lao Chentou. I said goodbye to Xiao Chen Tou and rushed home.

On the way home, I met Lao Chen. Old Chen Tou still likes to joke as much as before. He was very enthusiastic when he saw me, unlike other people who were cold, as if he had seen an enemy. Lao Chen's greetings to me made me very moved. I also talked a long time with Lao Chen. After all, our relationship has always been very good, and this time it can be said that we are old friends, how can we not talk for a long time?

I chatted with Lao Chen for about an hour when I heard my uncle's voice calling me not far away, and I said goodbye to Lao Chen. Before leaving, Lao Chen instructed me: "Yuan Yazi, after your grandmother's funeral, you should leave quickly, and don't come back in the future." ”

"Why?" Since I had a very good relationship with Lao Chen, I asked him why.

Old Chen smiled and said, "No, I'm for your good." It's quirky here and it's best for you to leave. ”

"Well, I see." I was disappointed that Old Chen still didn't tell me why. However, this didn't have much impact on me, and I have decided not to look into it, and Lao Chen Tou said why it really didn't work for me at all. It's just that the old ghost trapped in Chen Tianding's house, I'm afraid I can't help him. Because, after tomorrow, I will be leaving
