My first reaction when I saw Ah Fei was: Why did this kid enter the door without saying hello?

It was Xiaozhou, who jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail: "You...... Are you alright? ”

Ah Fei's attitude was a little cold: "Yes, thank you very much." Good buddy, if you hadn't returned the snuffbox, I would still be grinding there. ”

Xiao Zhou was so sarcastic by Ah Fei that he couldn't help but blush, shrunk his neck and retreated to the back, no longer speaking.

I waved my hand and asked Ah Fei to sit down. said: "Why did you come here?" ”

Ah Fei said, "I'm here to thank you." I was able to come back because of your help. ”

I scratched my head: "I don't dare to take credit for this." Where did your mom go? ”

Ah Fei sighed and said, "I haven't seen her since I woke up." I could feel her nearby, though. ”

The three of us sat down slowly. This room is eerie even in broad daylight. After Ah Fei said this, we even felt that Chen Xiaomei's ghost was everywhere.

I coughed and said to Ah Fei, "What have you been through all these years?" Remember? ”

Ah Fei nodded slowly: "I've had a messy life over the years. As I think you know, the people in the village thought I had become a fool. Actually, I'm really stupid. It wasn't until last night that I woke up, and looking back on all these years, it was a long dream. ”

He paused, and then said: "Over the years, I sometimes feel like I'm doing hard labor, and sometimes I feel like I'm messing around in the world, and I'm confused, not knowing which is true and which is dreaming. Hehe, it turns out it's all true. ”

I asked curiously, "When you sued me, you could see your mother's soul, ...... about this?"

Ah Fei nodded: "Lord Ghost has detained half of my soul. So all these years, only half of my soul was in my body. I live a half-yin and half-yang life, so I can see ghosts. ”

I nodded: "You really have yin and yang eyes." Now it seems that your soul has returned, and you can't see ghosts anymore, right? ”

Ah Fei nodded: "That's right, I can't see the ghost." ”

After a while, Ah Fei said to me mysteriously, "I'm going to keep my mother's wake tonight." Tomorrow's funeral. ”

I didn't understand why he said this to me, so I resignedly said, "It's good to go out of the funeral early, after all, it's good to be buried in peace." ”

Ah Fei looked at me deeply, and then said, "I hope you will come too." ”

Xue Qian couldn't help but say beside me: "We? What's wrong with us? ”

Ah Fei didn't answer his words, he pointed to the three of us: "You all come." Then he strode out.

Ah Fei is not stupid, but he has become more mysterious, and his whole body is undoubtedly domineering. I'm kind of nostalgic for that silly boy who talks about it.

Xiaozhou said with a sad face: "It's over, Ah Fei is afraid that he will hate me to death." ”

Xue Qian was three points sympathetic and seven points gloating: "If I were killed and pushed a stone mill in the cemetery for more than ten years, I would have to hate the root of my teeth." ”

I patted Xiaozhou on the shoulder: "There is no unsolvable grievance in the world, it mainly depends on whether you are sincere or not." Besides, you do have amnesia. ”

Xiaozhou nodded dejectedly.

I asked Xue Qian, "How is it?" Are you going tonight? ”

Xue Qian glared: "Go, of course you have to go." Don't you see? Ah Fei, a big man of 1.9 meters, has not done any work all these years, and he has only raised his fat body. If I don't go, he'll tear me apart. ”

I was amused by his words: "Lao Xue, you are not only afraid of ghosts, but even people are terribly afraid." ”

Xiao Zhou muttered across from me, "Is he afraid of ghosts?" How do I think he's not really afraid? A place like a mass grave, he said he would go, and no one begged him. ”

Xue Qian kicked on Xiaozhou: "Boy, are you talking about conscience?" Aren't we two brothers all for you? ”

After a conversation, we put the sword in the house and went out for dinner. Afterwards, we parted ways at the restaurant.

Xiaozhou went back to his house, Xue Qian went to clean up his new shop, and I went back to the empty house to sleep. We made an appointment to meet at Chen Xiaomei's house in the evening.

I lay in bed, and although I didn't sleep all night, I couldn't sleep, as if the excitement of the night had not faded.

I've been circling around with the words of the oni-sama: We'll meet again in the future, and I hope you, the owner of the empty house, can live up to your name.

I lay down for a long time, but I still fell asleep. I'm in this room, and I'm sleeping more and more.

By the time I woke up, it wasn't completely dark on the street, but the street lights were on.

I got up from the bed, ate something hastily, and rushed to Chen Xiaomei's house. It stands to reason that I am going to mourn tonight, and Ah Fei should take care of our food. But when I think about the weeds and the smell of rice in their house. I don't have the heart to rub his food anymore.

After walking for a while, it was getting dark. The good thing is that there are street lights everywhere. The lights were bright, and I arrived at Chen Xiaomei's house very smoothly on the way.

When I got to the door, I couldn't help but be stunned. The spirit flags at the door of Chen Xiaomei's house are gone, and the couplets on both sides of the gate are gone.

I was a little confused: "No, it hasn't been funeral yet, how can I tear these things?" ”

I was wondering when someone behind me called me, "Master Zhao, is that you?" Why are you here again? ”

I turned my head and saw the bald man standing behind me. I grabbed him and asked, "What's going on?" What about the spirit flags? What about the couplet? Why is it gone? ”

Bald said, "Of course it's gone." Chen Xiaomei is buried, why do you keep these things? ”

I was stunned: "Buried?" Isn't it tomorrow for the funeral? ”

Bald sighed: "Master Zhao, you still don't know? The fool was all right all of a sudden. People are not stupid, but they are not very good-tempered. drove all the villagers out and buried her mother herself. He also ripped off the spirit flags and the elegiac couplets. ”

I was a little dazed and said, "Ah Fei, what do you mean by this?" Trick me? ”

Bald asked me next to him: "Master Zhao, did you cure the fool's disease?" From now on, Chen Xiaomei won't be haunted anymore, right? ”

I said vaguely, "There won't be any more trouble, don't worry." ”

Bald got my assurance, as if very happy, smiled and left.

I stood at the door of Chen Xiaomei's house, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I knocked on the door. A few seconds later, the door opened. Ah Fei came out to look at me, and then pulled me in.

Ah Fei is very tall and has a lot of strength. I don't know if it's my own delusion, but I always feel that anyone who has been crazy is much more powerful than normal.

I was now not so much invited in by Ah Fei as I was coerced in. When he waited for me to enter the courtyard, he slammed the gate shut.

I looked at his yard with some trepidation. The shed has been demolished, and the weeds in the yard are gone. It's not as clean as it gets, but it's much better than before.

Ah Fei didn't speak, pointed to his hut, and then walked in by himself.

I didn't know what he was up to, so I cautiously followed him. As soon as I entered the door, I heard someone in the room smile bitterly: "Come on, Zhao Mang is also here." ”

I listened to this voice, like Xue Qian. But there was no electric light in the house, so I couldn't see clearly.

Ah Fei fumbled around the table for a while. A candle was then lit.

I waited with my eyes slightly closed for a while before I gradually adjusted to the light. Then I took a look around the room. This look almost scared my soul away.

There were six chairs in the room, forming a circle. On the chairs sat Xue Qian, Xiaozhou, and Ah Fei, and the remaining three, one of which was empty, must have been left for me. In the last two, there is Chen Xiaomei, who has died, and a paper figure.

I looked at Chen Xiaomei's corpse and couldn't help but take a step back.

Ah Fei grabbed me. Forcibly pushed me into a chair.

I struggled and shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xue Qian and Xiaozhou persuaded me: "Lao Zhao, don't talk nonsense with him, it's useless." When the two of us came in, he pressed him into his chair, and the kid didn't say a word. ”

I looked at him strangely, "Why don't you run?" ”

Xue Qian smiled bitterly: "What do you say?" ”

Then I saw that his hands and feet were tied to the chair.
