"Yo, what does that mean? Could it be that there is something ugly about that old beard? ”

The more we don't let people inquire about things, the more energetic we are. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMaybe the owner of the store himself is a person who can't hide his words, and the business in the store is not busy now, so he just sat on the chair next to him and chatted with us.

"The old beard is also a poor man, he lost his wife in middle age, and there are no descendants under his knees, so he only lives by performing shadow puppetry. At first, his shadow puppet performance was not very good, but the old bearded man was very kind, and when he saw the children playing in the street, he bought them some candy from time to time, and we all liked him, so we naturally took care of his business. ”

"It wasn't until two years ago that a strangely dressed Mr. Yin and Yang came to the village, saying that Lao Hutou's bad life had led to his family's situation, and he left after two days of contact with Lao Hutou. Hey, don't you say that since the fight, Lao Hu Tou has more energy, and he doesn't lose to you young men at all when he walks, and more importantly, his shadow puppet performances are getting better and better, we all say that Lao Hu Tou met a nobleman and changed his fate. ”

"However, at the same time, the old beard has gradually become eccentric, he began to not like to talk to people much, he stays at home all day, rarely comes out, even the shadow puppet show is only performed in the morning, in the past, as long as someone watched him will act, but seeing his rapid progress in the craft, we think he is studying hard at home, so it is understandable, and once this person is old, it is normal to have a strange temper. Hey. ”

"That's it? I thought he was embarrassed to say something. ”

"Alas, although Lao Hutou's skills have improved, we still hope that he can be as cheerful as before, so the people in the village also feel a little sorry for this matter and don't want to mention it more. Alright, I'm going to entertain the other guests. ”

"Wait a minute!"

I thought of a key thing and quickly stopped the shopkeeper.

"What's wrong, is there anything else?"

"That...... Hu Shouyi...... Do you know each other? ”

"Hu Shouyi? Oh~ It's the old beard, we are used to calling him the old beard, and we almost forgot his real name, how do you know? ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, we're blind too, you go and get busy with yours first, thank you. ”

"Hey, okay."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went downstairs, and the sea almost screamed on the side, and whispered to me, "Hu...... Hu Shouyi is an old beard? He...... How did he burn paper for himself! ”

I was also scared down my spine by the shopkeeper's answer, but the shopkeeper didn't seem to be lying to us, the old beard only became weird two years ago, and it must have something to do with that Mr. Yin and Yang! Without further ado, I quickly took out my mobile phone to call Li Bufan, but before I could dial the number, my mobile phone began to "buzz".

"Hey...... Let's go, can you hear me! Something happened! The old beard died in the ancestral hall! ”

Because Li Bufan's voice was relatively loud, the sea also heard it.

"Who's dead?"

"Okay, you wait there first, I'll call the villagers over!"

……

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't care about eating, so I went downstairs and called the shopkeeper.

"Oh no, my friend found that the old beard died in the back mountain!"

When I shouted, the whole shop fell silent and looked at me with strange eyes, and the shopkeeper was a little unconvinced, because just now we were still asking him about Lao Hutou, and I didn't have time to explain slowly, so I rushed directly to the direction of the back mountain. They saw that I was not joking with the sea, so they put down their dishes and chopsticks one after another, and followed us towards the back mountain. As we walked, we called the people on the side of the road, and everyone saw our mighty group of people hurrying to the back mountain, and those who knew that they didn't know the reason also joined the ranks of the team.

After a while, he came to the ancestral hall, Li Bufan saw that our big guy had already arrived, so he pointed to the ancestral hall, only to see an old man in a coat hanging himself in the ancestral hall!

"This little brother, if you find out, don't hurry up and get him down."

Seeing this scene, a big man scolded Li Bufan for being ignorant, so he went to help get the old beard down.

"I found out that the descendants were all dead, and I didn't move him, I just wanted to keep the scene of the crime."

What Li Bufan said made sense, but no matter what, this old beard still has some feelings for the people in the village, how can the villagers let him hang like this when they see such a scene.

The villagers dialed 110 while taking care of the corpse of Lao Hutou, seeing that Lao Hutou should have hanged himself, everyone was very curious, yesterday was fine, how could Lao Hutou not think about it.

I suddenly thought of the spirit card, and hurriedly looked around but couldn't see it, Li Bufan also shook his head, indicating that he had already checked it, and the spirit card was gone. Why did the old beard die here? Where did his spirit card go? What does the paper figure I saw last night have to do with this? So many weird things have happened in just two days.

It didn't take long for the police in the city to rush over, and asked Li Bufan, the first person who found that Lao Hutou had died, and checked the body to determine that Lao Hutou committed suicide, so they blocked the scene, and it was inconvenient for everyone to continue to stay here. We're all dead, and the three of us can't ask any more questions even if we have any doubts, so we can't tell the police that the paper people can move, and they can't arrest us yet.

"It's okay now, there is no proof of death, and we can't check it?"

"Forget it, the police will naturally take care of this matter, let's go catch our train early tomorrow morning."

Li Bufan was also in a low mood after speaking, and everyone went back to the hotel together.

Although the police said that Lao Hu Tou hanged himself, only the three of us felt that things were not so simple at all, and I told Hu Shouyi on the spirit card that Hu Shouyi was Lao Hu Tou's name, Li Bufan was not too surprised, as if he had been mentally prepared in this regard in advance.

"He seemed to know that he was going to die, so he made a spirit card for himself, and before he died, he kept burning paper figures for himself."

"Don't worry about it for now, when the old beard dies, all the things in his house should be cleared, let's take advantage of this time in the afternoon to help the villagers take care of it, maybe there will be something else to find in his house."

They agreed with my idea, and we walked towards Lao Hutou's house, at this moment his house has been surrounded by many people, some help to move things from the inside out, and some are busy hanging white cloth, hey, this person is dead, even if you have a lot of money, you can't take a penny, and Lao Hutou's favorite shadow puppet paper figure will also wait for the fate of being dealt with, one is that it is useless for others to ask for it, and the other is that it is unlucky to keep the relics of the dead. I had already prepared a brazier and started burning the paper figurines that were usually used for performances.

I seemed to see something at once, and hurriedly walked over and picked up a more familiar one from a pile of paper figures, and Dahai and Li Bufan also came over and were not only surprised, isn't this the paper figure walking back and forth under the moonlight last night! (To be continued.) )
