It was still my Senior Brother Feng who said beside me: "That's the case, I encountered a case last night, and I need to have the two of them cooperate with me to investigate." It's also my fault, it was too late to see the sky, so I didn't want to wake you up. ”

My mother looked at Senior Brother Feng with some surprise: "Senior brother, did you come to the house at night (last night)?" Why don't you say a word? ”

Senior Brother Feng smiled, not saying yes, not saying no.

In fact, in retrospect, even what Senior Brother Feng said just now was a half-truth.

In our Soul Village, lying is taboo, although there are not many regulations involving "oral karma" in the door rules, but no matter which disciple of the Soul Village, unless absolutely necessary, they usually rarely lie.

At this time, my father also came over, handed me a cigarette to my Senior Brother Feng, and said, "I'm causing you trouble again." ”

Senior Brother Feng hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not troublesome, if it weren't for the way, this case really couldn't be solved." Well, I still have a little bit of a thing, go first. ”

After saying that, Senior Brother Feng drove me and Liang Houzai out of the car and left without stopping.

It wasn't until Senior Brother Feng's car left the gate of the family home that my mother turned her head to look at my dad, then at the cigarette in my dad's hand, and sighed helplessly.

My dad and my mom have lived together for so many years, and of course I understand why my mom sighs.

It's just that he didn't have the eyesight to give away the cigarettes.

But my dad really doesn't give gifts, and he doesn't say too many kind words, he's such a person.

After a while, my dad was a little embarrassed and said to my mom, "Why don't I send him to the bureau?" ”

My mom gave my dad a blank look and said, "Forget it." "I walked into the alley.

After the beginning of autumn, there was a hint of coolness in the early morning air, and my father took off his thin coat and draped it over my mother.

Ever since the turmoil passed, I feel like my dad has become more and more protective of my mom.

Later, I also talked to my dad about the turmoil that broke the fortune that year, and when I talked about the events at that time, my dad was always very emotional, saying that my mother had never mentioned the things at that time over the years, and even when he did those things, my mother never thought about divorce, and sold the dowry, so she wanted to make up for the debts owed to him. If it were a different person, I might have left him a long time ago.

My dad said, "Two people together is a lifelong thing, I'm not good to your mother, who else do you want to be good to?" ”

Sometimes I think about it, although my father has cut off a financial route because of Luo Youfang, but he also feels more and more sorry for my mother because of that incident. Actually, I think this is also very good, not to seek wealth and wealth, but to seek family harmony, what can be more important than the feelings of a family?

In the days that followed, Liang Houzai and I attended classes for nearly a week, but I was always worried about the ghost market, and I couldn't listen to what the teacher said.

Liang Houzai was not much better, and once when he was in physics class, he was punished for standing for most of the class. The reason is that when our physics teacher walked to Liang Houzai's desk, he found that Liang Houzai's eyes were dull, and the textbook on his desk was still a mathematics textbook.

At that time, my teacher said something to Liang Houzai, which almost made me laugh: "Liang Houzai, have you been in a daze from math class to now?" ”

The first class that morning was math and physics was the last.

It wasn't until Halloween was two days away that Senior Brother Feng came to our school, first helped us ask for leave, and then asked our homeroom teacher for a teaching schedule.

Liang Houzai and I went home and briefly packed up our salutes, and then Senior Brother Feng took us to the provincial capital to catch the last flight to Sichuan that night.

It was the first time I had taken a plane in my life, and I was so excited that Liang Houzai was just as excited as me at first, but when the plane took off, his face was not quite right.

I asked him if he was not feeling well, but Liang Houzai looked out the window in fear and asked me, "You say, will the plane fall?" ”

Hearing him say this made me a little nervous, but it didn't take long for me to be fine, but Liang Houzai kept worrying.

Senior Brother Feng let him sleep, saying that he might be there when he woke up.

But not long after Liang Houzai fell asleep, he suddenly screamed "whoa-" made everyone around look at us.

Liang Houzai said that he dreamed that the plane had crashed. When he spoke, Xian'er was so happy that she couldn't even straighten her waist.

I know that the dream that Liang Houzai had must be a ghost made by Xian'er.

Until he got off the plane, Liang Houzai's face was still pale and he had to be supported by me when he walked.

That experience of taking a plane left a big shadow in Liang Houzai's heart, so that to this day, he almost never takes a plane, fortunately there has been a bullet train since 06, otherwise, I really don't want to go out with him.

It is indeed an unbelievable thing that a person who is not even afraid of evil corpses is afraid of taking a plane.

After getting off the plane, it was still Senior Brother Zhuang who came to pick us up, Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Zhuang took turns driving, and they arrived at the town outside the Soul Village that afternoon.

The inn opened by Jisoul Zhuang was fully booked a month ago, and Senior Brother Zhuang took us to find a small hotel nearby and settled down temporarily.

When I went out this time, my mother specially gave me a little money, and I still had the game hall in my heart, and I ate something hastily at night, so I pulled Liang Houzai and ran to the intersection to see.

As a result, the arcade is gone, and the store that used to be the store has become a small store for tobacco groceries. It made my heart empty.

On July 15th, the day of the Midyear Festival, Liang Houzai and I were woken up by Senior Brother Zhuang before dawn, and after a brief wash, Senior Brother Zhuang drove away from the town.

Originally, I thought that the ghost market was very close to the soul village, or that the ghost market was held in the soul village.

But Senior Brother Zhuang walked down this way, but he walked in the opposite direction of the Soul Village, from early morning to noon, Senior Brother Zhuang's car has been walking on the winding mountain road.

The last time I entered such a deep mountain, it was winter, everything withered, and those huge mountains gave me the feeling that it was a very powerful vicissitudes, but now the mountains and forests are full of life, as if even these mountains have become soft, but when such softness hides large mountains in them, it is another kind of mystery that makes people palpitate.

Brother Zhuang finally parked the car in front of a small manor house located deep in the mountains and forests, and when I got out of the car, I saw a small signboard hanging on the door beam outside the village, which read: Emerald Villa.

The signboard was really small, a wooden board the size of two palms, but the words written on it looked extremely powerful, and every stroke was like a knife and an axe.

Senior Brother Feng walked up to me, pointed to the sign and said to me, "This restaurant is also the property of our Soul Village, but there are usually no customers, and only at this time of year does the guests keep coming. ”

Senior Brother Zhuang looked into the garden for a while, and then turned around and said to us: "There are already a lot of people here, let's stop eating here, let's go directly to the ghost market." ”

After that, Senior Brother Zhuang and Senior Brother Feng took me and Liang Houzai to bypass the main entrance of the restaurant and embark on a very hidden path.

It wasn't until the restaurant gradually disappeared at the end of the forest that Senior Brother Zhuang said to me: "This year's big market is extraordinary, there are three religions and nine streams, there are all kinds of people, you and Houzai should be careful when walking around in the ghost market." ”

I nodded to Senior Brother Zhuang, but I was still wondering what he meant by extraordinary, this was my first time in the ghost market, I don't know what the ghost market is usually like, and what kind of extraordinary it is this year, I can't figure it out.

At the end of the path, there is a large green bamboo forest, which is the same as the one outside the Soul Village, and has also been specially arranged inside.

I pulled Liang Houzai tightly, afraid that he would get lost. In the bamboo forest of Jisoulzhuang, as long as you walk the right way, you can see a knife-edged mountain, but in this place, the road sign behind me has been replaced by the tallest ancient pine in the restaurant.

The distance between us and the restaurant was already very far, and every time we looked back, we could only see a vague shadow of a tree.

It was also Senior Brother Zhuang who told me that the ancient pine tree was the mountain god of this mountain and the gatekeeper of the Emerald Mountain Villa.

I asked Senior Brother Zhuang, "Is that tree really a fairy?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang shook his head: "It is said that it is a mountain god, just because it has spirituality, in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the people of Zhuangmen believed that spirituality is a kind of divinity between heaven and earth, and this tree is the saying of the mountain god, that is, it has been handed down from that time." ”

Out of the bamboo forest, not far away is a dry river, which is very wide and deep, and when it dries up, it becomes a huge ravine, which lies between the two mountains.

Above the river is a long and narrow suspension bridge, and a simple shed is supported at the head of the bridge, under which my master sits, enjoying the scenery of the mountains and drinking tea comfortably.

When we came to the bridge, Master didn't look back at us, but just shouted, "Who is coming?" ”

When my master said these four words, he deliberately dragged out his voice very long.

Senior Brother Zhuang walked over, hugged his fists at my master, and said very respectfully, "Uncle Chai, it's me." ”

Only then did my master turn his head to look at us, and when he saw me, my master smiled.

My master is like that, every time he is separated from me for a few days, he will miss me, and when he sees me again, he will have a smile on his face, but this smile will definitely not last for a minute.

This time it was the same, Master smiled at me for a while, and immediately changed his face and asked me, "Did you bring your homework?" ”

I quickly nodded, revealing the schoolbag on my back to show Master.
