Stepping onto the trail, I hummed a little song easily. It's easy to say, but it's just to give yourself a guts, after all, last night's experience was too scary, and to return to this road again, if I say I'm not afraid, it's completely self-defeating.

Fortunately, Zhao Li said that on Chinese New Year's Eve, because there are customs of ancestor worship in many places, there are many ghosts wandering in the world. From Chinese New Year's Eve until the first half of the first month, ghosts will not appear in this world, after all, the noisy firecrackers everywhere are the most powerful tools to drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts.

Although there is no sunshine, the sound of firecrackers around makes the sky no longer feel gloomy, and there is a lot more peaceful. I was soon in the place where I had the ghost show last night, and it didn't take me most of the night like last night.

When I came to the big bluestone, I looked around and didn't find anything unusual. From memory, I found the location of the stage. To my surprise, it wasn't an open field, but just a small mountain nest.

There was an incense burner in the pit, and a candle was placed next to it. Aren't there usually two candles on the side of the incense burner? I snapped it up, and it dawned on me, and another candle let me take a bite and take it home.

The candle that was left behind had already burned out more than half of it, and it seemed that it was extinguished by yesterday's snowstorm. In front of the incense burner, there was a pile of ashes and a few fine burnt bamboos, and there were many colorful papers left in the mud.

I stepped forward for a moment and immediately understood. This unburned thing is the stage used for the dead, and the unburned flower covenant on the ground floor can be vaguely recognizable. It was a paper man, I counted, no more, no less, exactly five.

Zhao Li appeared last night, why didn't these five paper people leave? I was stunned for a long time before I found a plausible explanation for myself. This is a paper man, it is burned for the enjoyment of the dead, and it has a certain amount of yin power, but they are not ghosts, so they neither let Zhao Li drive them away, nor do they mean to harm me.

I was just about to leave when a voice behind me shouted, "Boy, what are you doing here?" ”

I was so scared that I almost collapsed on the ground all at once, can I really live in broad daylight? I dared to look back and saw a thin-faced old man standing not far behind me. Although the old man was thin, he did not look like a common country man, he was well-dressed, and he exuded a compelling momentum.

I saw that it was an old man, and I thought to myself that he couldn't be a ghost in the daytime, so I calmed down. I asked, "I'm here, and who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

The old man's eyes burst out with an angry gaze, and he said word by word: "Boy, you won't be from this Mo family village, right?" ”

I nodded, and the old man said angrily: "Get out, I don't want to see the people in the Mo family's village." Get out of here, and don't touch anything that is in honor of my daughter." ”

I muttered, "Something wrong with me?" Who's going to touch those bad things? As soon as I finished speaking, my heart suddenly flashed, and I blurted out: "Uncle, are you surnamed Wang?" Did you burn these things to your daughter Wang Xiaoshan? ”

The old man's eyes widened all at once, and he opened his mouth wide for a long time before asking, "Who are you?" How will you know me? How do you know that I burned it to my daughter? ”

The conjecture in my heart was confirmed, and I immediately had a bottom in my heart. I said slowly: "Uncle, I know that your daughter let the fake medicine made and sold in Mojia Village kill you, so you hate everyone in Mojia Village. However, I don't think there's one person you don't hate, and that person is me! ”

The old man looked at me in disbelief, and said for a long time: "I know who you are, that's right, there is a person in Mojia Village that I really don't hate, and I still regard him as a benefactor." Young man, you are the Mo Xun who reported the fake drug case, right? ”

I nodded, and the old man stepped forward with a smile, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Mo Xun, it's good!" It's just that I'm wondering, why are you squatting here to watch the sacrifice I burned for my deceased daughter? ”

I said slyly, "Uncle, I still want to ask you, why did you leave without waiting for these sacrifices to burn out?" But I've heard that if mortals don't burn the things that they burn to the underworld, their relatives in the underworld won't be able to receive them, at least not all of them. ”

The old man sighed and said, "I also know this!" My daughter gave me a dream and asked me to find a place on this hillside to cook a theater for her. She was different from other girls when she was a child, she liked to watch dramas, and then she died, and when she learned that the cause of her death was revealed, she was happy, so she gave me a dream. I came here yesterday to see that the weather was not good, so I looked for this nest because it was sheltered from the wind. ”

"When I lit these things, suddenly there was a phone call for me. You also know that it is difficult to run a business now, right? At the end of the year, settlement, debt collection, and debt collection are almost 24 hours a day! I set up a small factory, and more than 10 workers waited for the settlement of wages to go home for the Chinese New Year. I saw that the things were already lit, and I thought it was nothing serious, so I hurried home, after all, the workers were anxiously waiting for me. ”

I said thoughtfully: "Uncle, it must be that after you returned home and finished your work, you remembered that it snowed lightly yesterday, and you couldn't rest assured that you came to see it today, right?" ”

The old man snorted and asked me, "Mo Xun, I answered everything you asked me, and you haven't told me yet, why are you squatting here to watch the sacrifice I burned for my daughter!" ”

I stood up and said apologetically, "Uncle, time is not enough, I will tell you when I have a chance." I have offended almost everyone in the village by what I have reported, I sneaked home last night, stayed at home for the night, and I have to get out of here quickly, if the people in the village find out, it will be a big trouble. ”

The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked stubbornly: "I understand this, you can not say it for the time being, but you have to tell me, how do you know me?" I don't remember you at all! ”

Yes, this is the businessman, I replied helplessly: "Uncle, I don't know you, really, I can swear to God!" ”

The old man said in surprise: "So, you passed by here last night, right?" I understand, how do you know that my surname is Wang, my daughter's name is Wang Xiaoshan, you must be a person who can pass through yin and yin, it was my daughter who met you last night and told you. ”

I was anxious in my heart, eager to get rid of his entanglement, and casually responded: "Uncle, how can I know what Yin Yang Taoism!" It's just that I met a ghost last night, and I really saw your daughter, who told me that her name is Wang Xiaoshan, and her father invited him to sing here. ”

The old man was almost stupid when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "There are really ghosts in this world, my poor daughter, it seems that the dream entrusted to me is true, and it is not the reason why I miss it too much." ”

He suddenly stopped me who was about to leave and said, "Mo Xun, what else did my daughter say to you?" Is she doing well in the underworld? Tell me quickly. ”

I replied impatiently, "I really don't know what to say, she just told me that it was the ghost who said that she would fulfill one of her wishes and let her take revenge, and nothing else." By the way, she said something inexplicable to me before leaving, she said that she needed my help and would come to me at the right time. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Old Man Wang grabbed my hand. Although he was thin, perhaps referring to his dead daughter, he was too concerned, and the strength of his hand pulled me faintly painful.

I said angrily, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? You hurt my hand, do you know the way? ”

The old man blushed, let go of my hand, and said embarrassedly: "Mo Xun, don't get me wrong. I want to know where you plan to avoid the limelight during the Chinese New Year? If you don't have a suitable place, why don't you come and stay at my house for a while? ”

I just didn't have a direction, I didn't have time to think about this, I just thought about leaving Mojia Village quickly. Hearing Old Man Wang say this, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice. I hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, to be honest, I don't know where I should go." I wanted to stay away from here, but I still have a lot of things to do, so I can't get too far away. Uncle, where do you live? If it's really suitable, I'll be cheeky and bother for a few days. But don't worry, I'll pay for your accommodation and meals. ”

The old man said unhappily: "Mo Xun, I don't like to hear what you say. Can I take in a random stranger? You are the benefactor of my family, without your report, the death of my little daughter is still a case of injustice! What's more, you met the little girl last night, and the little girl still has a wish for the future, and will come to you for help, so I want to invite you to live in my house temporarily. ”

I blushed and whispered sorry. The old man pointed to the side of the hill with his hand and said, "Actually, my house is near here, and it is only fifty or sixty kilometers away from you!" Moxun, how's it going? If you see fit, come with me now. By the way, my wife has passed away a long time ago, my only daughter is gone, and I live at home alone, so you won't feel anything inconvenient. ”

I was overjoyed in my heart, and said to Old Man Wang: "Uncle, that's great, I'll go to your house for a while." Fortunately, your place is not far from here, and it is still very convenient for me to come back secretly to do some errands. By the way, although we are not far away, we are already interprovincial, right? ”

The old man smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, we are from two provinces, and these hills are the provincial borders." Mo Xun, let's go, today on Chinese New Year's Eve, come to my house, and our grandfather will drink a few cups happily. ”

After spending the Lantern Festival in Lao Wang's house, I couldn't sit still anymore, I wanted to know what the female ghost Wang Xiaoshan had to entrust me with, and I also wanted to keep my promise and find someone to do a good job for Zhao Li's family and surpass their family. Of course, what happened to Suser who had a false romance with me, and what happened to the child in her womb, that's what I wanted to know.
