5. Visit the Long family
The idea that the soul is missing sounds a little strange to me.
"Have you already done a transcendent ritual?" I hurriedly asked.
"Nope! The soul will not be sent until the day of burial, and the soul being sent away and disappearing are completely two feelings! It felt like ...... It's like ......," Ye Hong muttered with a frown.
"Like what?" I urged.
"It's like his soul has been taken away by an external force!" Ye Hong seemed to have finally made up her mind to say what she wanted to say.
"Detained? It doesn't make sense! If a living person is detained, the physical body will not die, and this is certainly not the real cause of your father's death. Could it be that the guests who came to mourn took their souls away? Qiao Wei guessed.
Ye Hong thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think there should be such a possibility!" Although there are many and miscellaneous people who come to the house, it is not so easy to play this method in our Ye family, and there is no time! I only stayed in the mourning hall for less than two minutes just now, which is not enough time to restrain my soul. ”
"So...... Will you be ghostly? I asked.
"Of course! The so-called chasing the corpse is actually to confine the geist in the corpse, and then use this method to make the corpse move on its own. This process is simple to say, but it is much more troublesome to actually operate, and it is much more troublesome than reviving souls, even the most skilled corpse chasers have to take five minutes to operate. ”
"Could it be that a master deliberately came to smash the field? I think you'd better talk to your dad. I suggested.
Ye Hong stood in place and pondered for a while, then looked at Qiao Wei to ask for his opinion.
Qiao Wei's opinion is the same as mine, and he also thinks that it is better to tell the rest of the family about this kind of thing, because maybe the family will not know that this situation has happened.
In the end, Ye Hong listened to Qiao Wei's advice and turned around and went out to find her father.
Less than ten minutes later, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Ye Hong's whole person was almost blown up.
"I knew I shouldn't be looking for him! My dad said they sent my grandfather's soul to a place where his old man wanted to go the most, and told me to leave it alone, which doesn't make sense! I asked him if there was any magic or curse on the dagger, and he actually said that my child didn't understand anything, so I told me to shut up and go back to school as soon as possible! I'm really angry, my grandfather is dead, I want to find out the cause of death, this has become a nosy! Now you're going to drive me away! Is...... I'm speechless! ”
Maybe I grew up in the corpse gang since I was a child, and the people and things I came into contact with were quite special, which also made Ye Hong always give me a feeling of being very mature and sophisticated in speaking and doing things. But now that I see her crazy appearance, I am sure that the maturity and sophistication is just an illusion, and she is still a little girl born in the 90s.
"Otherwise, I think so, you just listen to your father at home, be a good girl, and as for the cause of your grandfather's death, let me and Qiao Wei investigate. I'm not a member of the Ye family, Qiao Wei and you are not married yet, strictly speaking, he has nothing to do with your family, if we go to investigate, your father and your uncles should have no right to interfere. ”
The expression on Ye Hong's face suddenly softened a lot after hearing this, but she still frowned and said, "Then where are you going to start to check?" My dad wouldn't give out the slightest clue. ”
"Your mother has already given two clues, one is the third child, and the other is Uncle Ou who robbed the tomb, I think you should be able to find out a rough idea from these two points, and then look for it down the vine." I said.
"I heard my mom tell me about this. My two uncles live in Momba Village, which is quite far away from here in the mountains, but it is still easy to find. It's the 'third' ......"
"If you are the third child, you can ask the members of the corpse gang who are of the same generation as your grandfather, who are the older generation of people in the corpse gang who are still alive now? Find someone you know. I said.
"Well...... Ye Hong suddenly became embarrassed, and looked at Qiao Wei with strange eyes.
I could guess the reason as soon as I looked at the expression.
"Could it be Long Zhiqiang's grandfather?"
Ye Hong nodded helplessly.
"In that case, Qiao Wei don't go, you take me to meet Long Zhiqiang's grandfather, so it should be okay, right?"
"Weishenme won't let me go? I'm afraid I won't be able to beat Long Zhiqiang?! Qiao Wei suddenly got up again, stood up and asked in a loud voice.
I hurriedly explained: "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't be able to beat Long Zhiqiang, it's that I'm afraid that you won't tell us even if you go to the Long family, even if you know some things, after all, you have offended their family." ”
"You're not right! I haven't offended the Long family, especially the old man of the Long family, it was his grandfather who agreed to me to fight a duel with Long Zhiqiang back then, I think the old man is very fair, and he will definitely not deliberately make things difficult for me because of the past! Qiao Wei retorted.
"It's just your opinion, I don't think it's a wise choice for you to come along! Besides, even if the old man of the Long family doesn't treat you well, do you think Long Zhiqiang will do anything with you when he sees you? Can you fight him like this now? ”
"Don't worry! I have a score! Ye Hong, tomorrow you will take me and Lei Sheng to the Long family, this matter is settled! Qiao Wei didn't give me a chance to raise objections at all, and just made a decision.
Ye Hong didn't mean to ask for my opinion at all, nodded at Qiao Wei and said, "Then we will leave tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, and I will eat breakfast outside, and I will come to you on time." With that, the girl turned around and went out the door.
The two of them sang and harmonized at all, and I simply didn't raise any opinions, just wait until I arrived at the Long family tomorrow and take a step at a time.
I got up at six o'clock the next morning to tidy up the housekeeping, and at seven o'clock Ye Hong also appeared on time, and the three of us left the Ye family's mansion together to rush to the detailed ancestral home of the Long family.
After half an hour's drive on the winding road, we arrived at a small town located in the basin, and the Long family's mansion was on the hillside of the town. The mansion was surrounded by a three-meter-high courtyard wall, and the two mahogany gates were tightly closed, as if the Long family was not as hospitable as the Ye family.
The three of us got out of the car, and Ye Hong stepped forward to slap the door knocker.
Not long after, the left half of the door opened, and a young man in his early twenties came out of it, feeling as if he was not as old as Ye Hong.
The guy looked the three of us up and down for a moment before he asked in non-standard Mandarin, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"My name is Ye Hong, and I bothered to tell the head of the Long family, so I said that the people from the Ye family who drove the corpse came to visit."
"Oh, wait a minute." The hairy guy answered and closed the door. After about five minutes, the door opened again, this time the two doors were all open, and there were quite a few people who came out to greet them, led by Zhang Fei's bearded Long Zhiqiang, who had just done it with Qiao Wei yesterday.
"Isn't this the eldest lady of the Ye family, a rare guest, please come inside."
Long Zhiqiang greeted Ye Hong diligently, and at the same time made a gesture of please to let Ye Hong into the house.
Ye Hong nodded symbolically at Long Zhiqiang, and then stepped into the door. But when Qiao Wei and I were about to go inside, Long Zhiqiang suddenly raised his face, stepped at the door and glared at Qiao Wei: "I said welcome Miss Ye, but I didn't say welcome to you!" ”
I knew that Qiao Wei would definitely go wrong when he came over, but I didn't expect the fork to come out so quickly, and we were going to be stopped back before we even entered the door.
I originally wanted Qiao Wei to wait outside, but it should still be okay for me to go in with Ye Hong. But before I could speak, Qiao Wei had already walked into the courtyard with his head down! I wanted to reach out to stop him, but this kid's return suddenly accelerated to me, and an arrow rushed in front of Long Zhiqiang.
The two men were like boxers about to face each other, glaring at each other with fierce eyes at very close distances, obviously neither of them would give in, but neither of them would strike first.
At this time, Ye Hong turned around and said politely to Long Zhiqiang: "For the sake of the relationship between Ye Long's two families, I call you Brother Qiang, we came here this time to ask Master Long to ask some things about my grandfather, and please don't get in the way." Now that Brother Qiang, you are also married, I heard that your sons are already seven years old, let my sister-in-law know that you are still embarrassing my boyfriend because of what happened nine years ago, I'm afraid it's not good, right? ”
Long Zhiqiang snorted, glanced at Qiao Wei with disdain, and then dodged out of the way, and nodded at Ye Hong and said with a smile: "Miss Ye is a guest, and your friends are naturally also guests, if you make a move on the guest, it will ruin the reputation of the Long family, let's go inside." ”
After speaking, Long Zhiqiang walked to the front with great strides and led the three of us into the main hall of the lobby.
