The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Edamame and said: "I don't understand what you said, anyway, after those Taoist priests died, several people died in our village one after another, all of them were fine on the first day, and they were in bed after sleeping at night, and they all said that they had a heart attack."

At that time, there were many people who died, and the public security bureau also filed a case, and sent a special case team to come down and toss for several days, but in the end it was not able to give an explanation, many people in the village who had a way to move away, and the young people basically went to the city, and the whole village was finally left with more than a dozen families......"

Dongdong stared at him and asked puzzledly, "So many people have died, why don't you move away with you?" ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Those of us who left behind are all those who stepped into the coffin with one foot, and we will die one day, and we are so old that we have no culture, and we can't even find a place to eat when we leave the land here." ”

"What about your son? Why did he stay here? ”

The old man turned his head to look at the hut next to him and said, "My son was sick when he was a child, and his brain is not good, so he has always lived with me. ”

"But fortunately, after a period of commotion that year, although a few people have died in the village in the past ten years, they are all old people, and some of them seem to have died normally, and we have resigned ourselves to our fate, and we have not invited anyone from outside to see them." The old man glanced back at the three of them, hesitated for a moment and said, "I am reluctant to tell you this at first, firstly, this matter is disgraceful, and secondly, I am afraid that I will anger that ...... again That woman has brought trouble to the village again. ”

After listening to the old man's story, Edamame first sorted it out in his head: first fifty years ago, a foreign woman came to Shiqiaopu Village, and then the village began to be haunted, and then the magic stick pretending to be a Taoist priest entered the village to catch demons, and the villagers listened to the words of the Taoist priest and thought that the foreign woman was a monster, so they buried her alive on the back mountain, and then the village was peaceful for two or three years, and then it began to have accidents again......

Edamame frowned and thought about it for a long time, always feeling that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't think of it, so he had to pat his head and turn his head to look at Dongdong and Jiang Xiaoyan.

"It seems that to find out whether the evil spirit has anything to do with that foreign woman, we can only go to the small temple in the back mountain."

The old man was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly wanted to stop Edamame, but as soon as his hand was halfway out, he remembered the scene when Edamame had just treated his son, and hesitated for a moment and took it back.

"That...... Master, I know that you have real skills, but the back mountain is really evil, and after the accident, for so many years, the people in our village have never dared to go in, and they have walked around it for cutting wood and hunting. ”

Before Edamame could speak, Dongdong stood up, waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of!" All demons and monsters are paper tigers in front of us! ”

Edamame pursed his lips and said, "Okay, if you really encounter something in a while, then it's up to you to play, and we'll cheer you on later." ”

Dongdong softened when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then what is it, where are you still taking my turn to do it, isn't that stealing your limelight?" ”

Edamame snorted, not bothering to pay attention to him.

The old man looked at the indifferent appearance of the two, sighed, and turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoyan sitting behind them, wanting the girl to persuade them again, but found that the young girl was squinting at him at this time, and the eyes were so straight that he felt a little hairy in his heart.

"What's wrong? Girl, what do you see? ”

Edamame and Dongdong heard the old man's words, and also turned to look at Jiang Xiaoyan behind him, Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes blinked, retracted his gaze staring at the old man, and turned to look around and said: "It's nothing, but it's not too early now, if it's dark in the mountains, it's very troublesome, or let's rest for the night first, and then go tomorrow morning." ”

Edamame looked up at the sky, Shiqiaopu Village was in the mountain col, and he couldn't see the sun, he could only see that the sky was a little dark, so he pulled Dongdong's left hand again, rolled up his sleeve and looked at his watch, only to find that it was almost 7 o'clock.

This morning, I accidentally fell into the river, and went back to the town to change clothes, so I delayed for half a day, and in the afternoon I treated the old man's son, and then I heard him say that the old things in the village used to be, and before I knew it, the day had passed.

However, it will take a lot of time to walk back to the bluestone bridge from here, and then drive to the town, and it will be a little troublesome to come back early tomorrow morning, so he turned his head to look at the old man and asked: "Uncle, the three of us will stay in your house for one night today, do you think it is inconvenient?" ”

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not inconvenient, it's just that I only have two beds at home, and my one can be used by you, but my son ......"

Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Edamame said: "Just have a bed, let Xiaoyan go to sleep, you give us some cotton wool quilts, and I'll just make a bunk with this fat man." ”

"That's okay, then you wait, I'll find you a quilt......" The old man nodded, and was about to turn around and go back to the house, but was stopped by Dongdong again.

"I said, uncle, today we have cured your son's illness, see if we will give us a few dishes tonight, we are full, and tomorrow we can go into the mountains to catch ghosts in your village."

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, although my family is poor and I can't afford big fish and meat, it is not a problem to be full." ”

The old man went into the house to get the futon, and asked Edamame and the others to sit in the middle hall for a while, and the three of them came to the hall and sat down around a large round table in the center of the room.

Maodou turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoyan and asked, "Xiaoyan, I see that you are not in a good mood when you enter this village today, and you haven't said a few words in the afternoon, what is on your mind?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyan glanced up at Edamame, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's okay, I just thought of Tingting and a few of them, we were playing here together not long ago, but now I'm the only one left, maybe I will accompany them in a short time......"

Dongdong lifted his buttocks, moved to Jiang Xiaoyan's side, and said, "Xiaoyan, don't worry, with the beans here, he will definitely be able to catch that evil spirit, and you will be fine at that time." ”

"Hmm......" Jiang Xiaoyan nodded lightly, her expression still a little lonely.

Edamame squinted at Dongdong's salty pig hand slowly moving behind Jiang Xiaoyan's back, and seeing that it was about to hit Jiang Xiaoyan's shoulder, he couldn't help coughing, Dongdong was startled, and quickly took his hand back, sat opposite and stared at Edamame.

Edamame ignored him, but asked Jiang Xiaoyan again: "Xiaoyan, when the four of you came to play last time, did you go to the back mountain?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyan thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, the four of us just walked to the entrance of the village, and saw that this was a mountain pass, and there was nothing fun to do, so we turned around and went back." ”

"Oh......" Edamame looked at her and asked, "But, last time you said you played here for a long time......"

"We are playing while walking, and the time is basically spent on the road......" Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the edamame, her brows furrowed slightly, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"It's nothing, just ask......" Edamame spread his hands and said no more.

Dinner was really just full, a big bowl of noodles for one person, although Dongdong was a little disappointed, but he still buried his head with the two edamame, holding the bowl and eating sighing.

Jiang Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks after only a few bites, saying that she was a little tired and wanted to go back to her room to sleep first.

Before leaving, Edamame suddenly stopped her, fumbled in her pocket for a while, took out a bead the size of a fingernail, and reached out and handed it to Jiang Xiaoyan.
