"Which hook did you tick?" The villagers asked Meng Changqing.

Meng Changqing shook his head and said that he didn't know, he then changed the topic and said: "The infant spirit was turned into the child of Zhang Shike and Hu Haiyan, and the first thing he did after he was born must be to find Zhang Shike for revenge, in my opinion, Zhang Shike's death is inseparable from the infant spirit." ”

"Which one of the people who lack virtue is raising that baby spirit? Let me know that I will kill him with a stick. When the villagers heard this, they scolded angrily.

"I want to ask, who takes care of that big scalper on weekdays?"

After Meng Changqing asked, the villagers said that it was my grandfather who took care of him, Meng Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately pushed aside the crowd and almost shouted to me: "Go back." ”

After he finished speaking, he ran up to the top of the village first, it was related to my grandfather, and my feet also sped up, and when I was about to arrive, I shouted to Meng Changqing.

Meng Changqing stopped and looked back at me, I took out the eight-character note with Li Dahai's birthday written on my body and said, "Master, look at what this is?" ”

Meng Changqing took it and took a look, and hurriedly asked me where I came from, I thought about it and said: "The night you went to look for Li Dahai, I saw my grandfather chanting a mantra in the cemetery and shaking the three clear bells, and this note was thrown into the coffin by my grandfather. ”

After I finished speaking, Meng Changqing crumpled the note and said, "Soul Harvesting Technique, this is Soul Harvesting Technique." Li Dahai's soul was collected by your grandfather, fortunately he didn't burn this note, otherwise Li Dahai would not have survived at all. ”

"Why did Grandpa do this?" I don't know what I'm thinking anymore, I don't know how to think about it, I can only take it one step at a time.

Meng Changqing shook his head and said: "It took me two hours to call Li Dahai's soul back, and he told me that leopard bone powder can treat rheumatism This home remedy was passed on from your grandfather, your grandfather passed it on to Li Dahai, Li Dahai passed it on to Zhang Shike, Zhang Shike gave your grandmother a real leopard bone powder, but it turned into ashes when it came here, can you think of who transferred it?" ”

"Grandpa?"

Meng Changqing didn't say anything, but walked into the house quickly. I followed up later, Meng Changqing had already gone to the bed and hugged Xiaoxiao out, and he was relieved to see that Xiaoxiao was fine.

After that, we searched in the room, but there was no trace of grandpa.

Because of the movement, Xiaoxiao was awakened, and when she woke up, she saw that Meng Changqing was holding her, she was stunned for a while, and then said with a crying voice: "Uncle, my head hurts so much." ”

Meng Changqing put her down, pressed her head a few times, and Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and fell asleep.

After that, Meng Changqing and I sat in the hall with Xiaoxiao and waited for my grandfather, and I also sat next to him in a daze.

He glanced at me and asked, "If all the qiē was made by your grandfather, how would you deal with yourself?" ”

I couldn't answer this question, so I asked, "Why did he do this?" ”

Meng Changqing saw that I refused to answer this question, so he didn't ask, but just said that I should be pure and righteous at that time, and meditate and stop thinking.

After I hummed, Meng Changqing said again: "From tomorrow, I will teach you Taoism, and Mu Xiaoxiao will also learn it together." Otherwise, you two won't be able to survive at all. ”

In the past, if I heard him say that, I would be so happy that my asshole would burst into laughter, but after what happened to my grandfather, I couldn't be happy at all, so I just casually oh.

We waited until it was almost dawn and didn't see grandpa come back, and Meng Changqing didn't plan to wait any longer, so he got up and said to go to him, and after this matter was resolved, he should also leave.

After going to the village everywhere, there was still no trace of grandpa, we went to the next village to find someone to ask, and some villagers in the next village said that two people passed by last night, first a person wearing a coat and a hat, and did not see his face clearly. A little after the man had gone, he saw my grandfather passing by their village. It looks like he's chasing the man in the cloak in front of him.

I naturally knew that the person in the cloak was Uncle Zhang, but what I didn't know was what my grandfather was chasing after him?

We inquired all the way through the village, and we saw both of them along the way, but there was no sign of them, and they seemed to be going down the road to the end.

After inquiring for a while, we returned to the village, and there was still a baby spirit wandering in the village, with Meng Changqing's personality, he would naturally not sit idly by.

Besides, it is difficult to find a place to live outside the village, and the mud house in Snakehead Village is now the only place where you can live.

Meng Changqing can do everything, except for laundry and cooking, but I can't, Xiaoxiao naturally needless to say, she is not as high as the stove.

When she got home, she stared at her for a while, and Xiaoxiao finally couldn't hold it anymore, so she secretly ran to me and whispered in my ear that she was hungry, for fear that Meng Changqing would make fun of her again when she heard it.

Although I was in a bad mood, I naturally wouldn't sit idly by when she was hungry, and when I was about to get up to cook, the old man from the same village came up and called us down to eat.

When we went to the village in the morning to look for Grandpa's whereabouts, the people in the village already knew about Grandpa's departure, but they didn't know why Grandpa had left.

What Meng Changqing and I think is that he feels that he is about to be debunked before leaving. After all, in the face of so much evidence, it is difficult for him to explain it himself.

The villagers invited us to dinner, and we naturally did not refuse, and all we discussed was the strange things that had happened in the village in the past few days and the fact that my grandfather had left the village.

During the discussion, Uncle Zhang's body was also placed in a shed made of oilcloth by the villagers, and they only occasionally went to see it, and no one wanted to be contaminated. Meng Changqing saw that the corpse was unreliable, so he said that he had burned the corpse as soon as possible.

They didn't dare to guess who did it, the village is so small, if they say who did it, it will be easy to offend people if it spreads.

After that, they discussed the matter of grandpa running away, and the villagers had a lot of speculation, and their most convincing guess at the moment was that they were lost by the ghost and lost for a while. From their words, it can be seen that although grandpa is not a good person in their minds, at least he is not a bad person.

After being full of wine and food, Meng Changqing asked the villagers about his grandfather's situation, such as his grandfather's previous family, experience, background, and so on.

To our surprise, they didn't know what Grandpa had experienced before he came to this village, Grandpa moved to this village with Grandpa Ye and them, and after coming to the village, he married his grandmother and gave birth to my father.

After that, I went to Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Ye and my grandfather moved here together, and they are grandpa's cousins, so they naturally know more.

Grandpa Ye told us that they were originally from another township and had moved here during the communization movement.

We asked Grandpa if he had any unusual experiences before, and Grandpa Ye thought for a while before he said slowly: "If you want to say something unusual, when he was studying, he went out and didn't come back for many years." ”

We hurriedly asked Grandpa Ye what was going on.

Grandpa Ye said: "Ye Jiafu was taught by your great-grandfather to read since he was six years old, and when he was ten years old, his mother took him to the county seat to study. For the first two years, he and his mom would come back every six months. When he was twelve, his mother came back alone and said that he had lost himself from the war outside. At that time, the rice jars at home were empty, and they were all looking for food in the mountains and fields, and where they had the leisure to look for him, they just thought that they were taken by wolves to be cubs, so they didn't care about him. In the year of communization, he suddenly came back, and when he came back, he was 22 years old, and at first we didn't believe it, thinking that ten years had passed, and he had already starved to death outside, and the one who came back should have been cheated to eat and drink. But by the way, I didn't know that it was really him. ”

"Then where has Grandpa been all these years?"

"He said that he was studying outside, we don't know the specifics, at that time, the big steelmaking was busy, everyone had to earn work to support the family, and when he came back, he had an extra labor, who cared what he was doing outside. After two months of training, the brigade assigned us here, and then we settled here, and then everyone in the village knew about it. ”

We were puzzled after listening to it, he hadn't learned Taoism since he came here, no one taught him when he was a child, and the problem must have been the ten years since he disappeared.

After thinking of this, Meng Changqing asked, "Did he bring some roulette wheels and yellow flags when he came back?" ”

Grandpa Ye shook his head and said: "He came back with a breeze on his sleeves, where is there a roulette wheel......" After remembering something, he immediately said: "Speaking of things, he seems to have brought back a black leather box, and he brought this box with him when he moved, and it is estimated that it is still in his house, you can find it if you look for it." ”

Meng Changqing looked up at the sky after listening, now that half of the sun is left outside, the baby guard is not in a hurry at this time, taking advantage of this time, Meng Changqing asked me to return to the house with him, leaving Xiaoxiao at the bottom of the village, and by the way, he also put the bracelet on Xiaoxiao's hand, in case something happens, he can also protect her.

After arriving at the house, Meng Changqing asked me if I had seen such a box before, but I didn't have an impression, so I said if it would be placed in some big box.

Meng Changqing also felt that it was possible, so next, we rummaged through the large and small boxes and cabinets in the house, and even looked in the cellar, but we never saw the shadow of the box.

"Could it be thrown away?" I say.

Meng Changqing felt that no, grandpa had to carry that box when he moved across the township, and there must be something very important in it, and he wouldn't throw it away lightly.

I think so, and then I swept the house again, but there was still no trace, and when I was about to give up, Meng Changqing set his eyes on the coffin that his grandfather had prepared for him in advance.

After seeing it, I took the lid of the coffin open, and when I opened it, I saw a black suitcase inside.
