According to him, going back now is the best option.

But I don't know where my home is.

Meng Changqing didn't care whether I knew it or not, he went directly to the vicinity of the station to hail a black car to come over, and after I got on the train, he took out a half-burned white paper and handed it to the driver, and asked the driver to drive to the place on the paper.

This paper was picked up by him in front of Xiaoxiao's grave, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but I didn't expect that my home address was written on it.

The long-distance driver was naturally willing, and started the vehicle without saying a word.

We spent the next two days in the car, only getting off when we had dinner and went to the bathroom.

Two days later the car entered a muddy mountain road, which I had only become familiar with, and I had walked on it just over a month ago.

After walking on this mountain road for more than an hour, the driver finally stopped at the entrance of Shetou Village.

It was just noon when the car was parked, and after the driver honked the horn a few times at the entrance of the village, many villagers in the village heard the car horn and came out.

Meng Changqing got out of the car first, and when they saw Meng Changqing, they didn't know who it was, they just smiled, thinking that it was someone who came here to do business.

After I got out of the car, they recognized me, and they all surrounded me and said in surprise: "Ye Jiahai is back, where is your second grandmother?" ”

They spoke our hometown dialect here, Meng Changqing couldn't understand and was stunned directly, and I greeted them one by one.

In the countryside, people in the same village are generally related to each other, even if they have different surnames, they have to call seven aunts and eight aunts or something. Anyway, grandparents have taught since childhood, and they have to call when they see people, which is the most basic politeness in the countryside.

After I finished greeting them, they began to turn their attention to Meng Changqing.

They couldn't speak Mandarin, so they directly communicated with Meng Changqing in their hometown, Meng Changqing was stunned when he heard it, and finally had no choice but to ask me for help.

When I saw that he had trouble communicating with the villagers, I said, "This is my master, a Taoist priest, and he is not from us and cannot understand us." ”

The people of Snakehead Village are very superstitious and believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, as evidenced by the reason that my mother was persuaded to come back by the stars when she was about to beat me down.

Since they believe in ghosts and gods, they must also believe in these gods and goddesses, Taoist priests and the like, they have great respect for the priests and priests of gods and goddesses, and think that if they can climb up to such a relative, it is more useful than climbing to become an official.

Taoist priests are more formal than the goddess and Duangong, the goddess and Duangong are passed down from generation to generation in the township, and some of them are broken halfway, and now, there is only a second grandmother left in our township, and there is a Duangong named Li Dahai. As for the Taoist priests, we are in the poor countryside here, and there are no Taoist temples at all, so it is basically impossible to have a Taoist priest.

Although there are no Taoist priests, the people in the village used to talk about ghosts and ghosts when they got together, and when they talked, they would talk about where there was a very powerful Taoist priest, and then they did something, and the Taoist priest was passed on to the world. In their eyes, the Taoist priest is much more powerful than the goddess Duangong.

After the villagers heard that Meng Changqing was a Taoist priest, they didn't dislike me for being easy to attract ghosts in the past, and invited us to their house to sit down.

Although Meng Changqing couldn't understand what they were saying, he could see that they were very enthusiastic and smiled at them.

I was now thinking about my grandparents and wanted to go back soon, so I rejected their kindness and rushed to the top of the village with Meng Changqing.

When I arrived at my grandparents' house, the door was locked. I know the habit of my grandparents, they usually don't bring their keys when they work in the fields, and they are afraid that they will lose the keys when they bend down to hoe the ground, so they usually lock the door and stuff the key into a pair of broken shoes next to it.

Sure enough, I took out the key and opened the door and invited Meng Changqing in.

This place is not many times more remote than the Taoist temple, the Taoist temple is all wooden buildings, here is indeed a mud house, he went in and looked at the potholes on the ground of the hall, and then said with a smile: "Your house is quite distinctive." ”

I smiled and brought him a cup of hot tea, and after he took it, he said, "Let's take a break and take a look around the village, if someone raises the altar and does the Fa, it should leave some traces, and we will find out that person before your second grandmother comes back." ”

As he finished speaking, there was the sound of a hoe and the sound of grandparents talking.

I heard the sound and ran out to greet me, my grandparents were taken aback when they saw me, and then smiled and squinted their eyes and said: "I heard the sound of a car in the field just now, I thought it was the city that harvested the buds, it turned out that you came back, what about your second grandmother and Xiaoxiao, why didn't you ask them to come up and eat together?" ”

"They won't be back until a few days."

"You came back alone?" Grandpa said with a squirming mouth, and stood the hoe by the wall, then took off the straw hat to shade the sun and pinched it in his hand to fan the wind.

Before I could answer, Meng Changqing walked behind me and saw my grandparents smile and say hello.

My grandparents only listened to our local dialect, not even Mandarin, and when they saw Meng Changqing saying hello to them, they were stunned for a while and asked me who this was.

I said, "This is the master who healed me, a Taoist priest, and he sent me back." ”

After identifying themselves, my grandparents immediately went in and grabbed Meng Changqing, and the kindness was almost ten times that of seeing me.

After grabbing Meng Changqing, I began to shush and ask for warmth, and asked several questions in a row, but Meng Changqing didn't understand any of them, so I had no choice but to be a translator.

My grandparents first thanked him for taking care of me, then began to ask all kinds of questions, and finally talked about his status as a Taoist priest.

Meng Changqing didn't feel bored either, I translated one, and he answered one, what name, age, marriage, and where are you from, and he answered them all.

Grandma saw that grandpa had too many problems, so she looked at grandpa with a dissatisfied face and said, "You let people rest for a while, if there is any problem, let's talk about it after eating, I cook, you come to help me light the fire, they are all hungry." ”

Grandpa felt that he had too many problems, and smiled embarrassedly, but he was still reluctant to get up and go into the house to burn the fire, but he was more afraid of grandma, so he could only smile and ask Meng Changqing: "His master is not in a hurry to leave here, right?" ”

I answered this question for Meng Changqing, and I said that he would not leave for a while.

Grandpa then said, "It's good if you don't go, it's good if you don't go." ”

Before my grandfather entered the house, I asked me to take Meng Changqing to the bed to rest for a while, and he went to cook on the fire, and called us after cooking.

Grandpa just entered the house, I looked at Meng Changqing and laughed, the expression he had when he talked to my grandfather just now was too aggrieved, it had been nearly a month, and it was the first time I had seen him with this expression. Although I tried very hard to listen, I couldn't understand it at all, and if I didn't understand it, I was afraid of being rude, so I had to try to listen hard. So when Grandpa spoke, he kept staring at Grandpa's lips, trying to get a message from the squirming of Grandpa's lips.

When he saw me looking at him and smirked, he reprimanded me, and then asked me to take him around the neighborhood, saying that my second grandmother might be coming back, and we had to find the person who wanted to harm us as soon as possible.

I think about it, this is not the time to rest, maybe they will come back in the afternoon, if something happens to Xiaoxiao because of this, I will feel guilty to death.

At that time, I felt guilty for a while because I was fighting with someone, and I felt guilty for a while that I had killed her because I had dug up her grave for her, and I would never have wanted to sleep well for the rest of my life.

Starting from the chestnut tree with Meng Changqing, we circled the village.

There was nothing strange about other things along the way, but when I arrived at the second grandmother's cowpen, I stopped, squatted at the door of the cowpen and looked at the big scalper inside.

When the second grandmother left, she entrusted the big yellow cow to the villagers, so even though we had been gone for a month, it was still chubby, and its belly was bigger than when we left.

The big scalper was sleeping, I don't know if it felt like I was outside, but suddenly stood up, stopped firmly on the fence at the door of the cattle pen and stared at me, after looking at it for a while, his eyes closed, and two lines of huge tears flowed out, as if he had been greatly wronged and complained to me.

"Master, the cow is crying again."

Meng Changqing ignored the cow, but looked at a small hole in the wall on the left side of the cowpen door, in which a land bodhisattva was enshrined, and in front of the bodhisattva was a few incense sticks that had been burned.

Land temples in rural areas are like this, digging a small square hole, and putting a Bodhisattva in it becomes a simple land temple.

"Who made this temple? It's just nonsense, who said that the land temple could be built on the wall of the bullpen? ”

I hadn't really noticed if there was such a temple before, but I didn't think it was strange that such temples could be seen everywhere in the countryside.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Meng Changqing looked at it for a while, then went down and took out the statue of the land bodhisattva in the land temple and stood aside, and said at the same time: "It is said that the cow ghost snake god cow ghost snake god, the last thing that the temple can see is the cow, and the cow can't even pass by, let alone build it on the cowpen." ”

I listened to a few words, but I didn't pay attention to it, most of my attention was on the big scalper.

Most of these big cattle used to be taken out by me to graze, and every time I saw them, I knew that there was something to eat, and I would happily go around the circle a few times. There were two times when I didn't turn, the first time because I was ghosted, and the second time because the second grandmother's son died.

Now that the cow saw that I didn't spin, I guess it was probably because he had been away for a long time and was alienated from me, and as for crying, it probably cried after recognizing me.

Meng Changqing also glanced at Niu a few times, and then asked me to take him to continue to turn.

I hummed and turned to leave, and as I left, the big scalper snorted wildly behind me, and when I turned my head, it saw even more tears in its eyes.

I didn't know what it meant, I just whistled at it and left.

After that, he took Meng Changqing around the village and went home when it was time to eat.

When we got home, my grandparents had already prepared the food and were sitting and waiting for us.

When eating, Meng Changqing was very unaccustomed to the taste of the countryside, and his grandparents saw that Meng Changqing was a distinguished guest, so they specially made a lot of meat, but Meng Changqing was a monk and did not eat meat.

He was also extremely aggrieved at this meal, frowning whenever he saw the meat on the table. But unfortunately, rural people like to pick up vegetables for people, grandparents saw that Meng Changqing only ate vegetarian dishes on the table, so you and I gave Meng Changqing a chopstick to eat meat.

Meng Changqing shirked again and again, but what he said, his grandparents couldn't understand at all. Meng Changqing had no choice but to clip these things to me.

During the meal, my grandparents asked me about my situation these days, and when he asked if the ghost on my body had been taken out, I thought about it and said that it was taken out, just so as not to worry them.

They also asked about the situation between the second grandmother and Xiaoxiao, and I said that the second grandmother took Xiaoxiao to see Xiaoxiao's mother, and she would not come back in a few days.

The grandparents are simple-minded, and they didn't doubt what I said, but they just said that they would accompany the second grandmother when they came back.
