The whole village is silent, there is basically no nightlife in the countryside, and it is estimated that everyone has already eaten dinner and watched TV in the house.

The crow's cry was loud and piercing, piercing the silence of the night. Not to mention the two of them, even I, the host who was used to hearing the crows chirping, was more or less uncomfortable.

If I'm not mistaken, for as long as I can remember, there has been a nest of crows living on this willow tree. I can't tell how many crows have changed over the years, but every time I pass by, I can hear the crows.

I couldn't help but frown and take a deep breath. It's not uncommon to hear crows, but crows are so frequent that I feel a little irritable.

Xiaobai has been messing with me for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to my character, and seeing that I don't say anything, Xiaobai is also calm, and he doesn't take the crow's cry seriously at all.

Zhang Yang couldn't help it, and asked nervously: "There is a saying among the people, the crow crows, and disaster comes." Hearing the crow's call, why am I so panicked? ”

I smiled wryly: "In some folklore, the crow is often a symbol of bad luck, and hearing a magpie represents auspiciousness. In fact, they are just ordinary birds, and there is nothing special about them. ”

Not to mention the magpie, it is the same as other mascots, it is because of its pleasing appearance and beautiful voice, it will be loved by so many people, and then gradually become a symbol of auspiciousness.

The reputation of the crow is terrible on the one hand, because it is unpleasant and its call is unpleasant. On the other hand, it is because crows are also scavengers and are sensitive to the smell of dead bodies.

In many places, the traditional funeral process is the same as in our hometown, where the mortuary will be buried after three days. In the past, people did not understand the habits of crows, and when someone saw a crow when they died, they would subconsciously think that it was a crow that brought bad luck.

This is a bit of a reversal, and in fact it is not because of the arrival of the crow that brought disaster and caused people to die. It's because someone dies that the crow is attracted.

Except for those who died, most of the elderly and sick people were on the verge of death, and their bodies already emitted a faint smell of corpse decay, and the crows could smell this smell and smell it.

After I finished explaining, Zhang Yang apologized to me awkwardly. There are some things that need not be said thoroughly, Zhang Yang is a smart person and can understand what I mean.

Grandpa's body was still in the car, and the crow should have smelled the smell of corpse decay, which is why he was so restless. In addition to the ugly noise, we really don't need to make our own people panic.

"Where do you turn ahead?" Approaching the entrance of the village, Zhang Yang asked.

There are three ways to enter from the entrance of the village. Our house should turn left, I settled down and pointed out the way to Zhang Yang.

After the car turned a corner, the crow's cry gradually stopped. I felt a sense of relief, and after the car had gone forward for a while, I suddenly froze.

Not far away, the courtyard of our house was lit up, and the gate was draped in red and green, and there were two red lanterns hanging on the door, which looked very festive.

I blinked, making sure I wasn't dazzled. Although I haven't been back for a few years, I still know exactly where our home is and what it looks like.

Looking at the brightly lit old mansion, I wondered, what is going on, why is our house lit up, as if there is some happy event?

Looking back at my grandfather who was lying quietly in the crystal coffin, I couldn't help frowning. Grandpa has been away from the house for a while, and grandpa probably doesn't know the situation at home.

"What's going on? Your expression isn't quite right. Zhang Yang was observant and asked with some concern.

I took a deep breath: "I haven't been back for so long that I've almost forgotten what it's like at home." It's okay, let's go back and have a look. ”

To be honest, I had a fire in my heart. Whether it's a coincidence or not, when I brought back my grandfather's body, the house was decorated with lights, as if I was going to get married, which was a bit of nonsense.

But until I find out what is really going on, I don't want to jump to conclusions. In case there is some unnecessary misunderstanding, it will be troublesome to affect the funeral of the grandfather.

I remember reading a joke on the Internet about a college student who came home from winter vacation and suddenly found that his family was a stranger.

Later, I found out that the parents of the college student felt that the house at home was too wasteful after their children went to school, so they simply rented it out, and the old couple rented a small apartment at a low price, and forgot to tell him the news.

Speaking of which, I really didn't ask my grandfather about the situation at home, and it was not impossible for my grandfather to rent out our house. There is a huge courtyard, only the grandfather and his old man live alone, it is indeed quite empty and looks a little desolate.

Thinking of this, I felt a little panicked in my heart, and secretly blamed myself. All along, I was too headstrong and rarely considered my grandfather's feelings.

Now I really want to do something for my grandfather and make up for my previous mistakes, but it's too late. Now I understand what it means to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but the parent is not there.

When I arrived more than ten meters away from our house, I put away the complicated thoughts in my heart, first asked Zhang Yang to stop, and got out of the car alone to inquire.

If we really have other tenants in our house, this situation is clearly a happy event. Going back directly with grandpa's corpse will collide with other people's happy events, and secondly, it will not be a good thing for grandpa.

Before he reached the door, Xiaobai also followed with some anxiety: "What's the matter?" Is this a happy event for someone? ”

I shook my head with a calm face: "I don't know what the situation is, but I hope someone didn't deliberately block me." ”

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly changed: "What, that's your house?" Damn, what's going on! ”

He knew me better, and from my reaction, he had already guessed the truth of the matter.

As soon as the words fell, Xiaobai had already rushed towards our house with a fierce momentum. I hurriedly grabbed Xiaobai, the reason why I didn't want to tell the truth just now was because I was worried that Xiaobai was too impulsive.

After all, I have lived in this village for more than ten years, and I have feelings for the villagers in the village. If there is some misunderstanding, there is some indelible face.

Xiaobai will not have this kind of concern, in a fit of rage, it is possible for him to directly demolish our house. I know Xiaobai's temper, he really did this kind of thing.

Xiaobai is this kind of person, many times he can be wronged, but he can't watch me being bullied. And his personality is too impulsive, and he is unwilling to think deeply about things when he encounters them, and he often needs me to wipe his ass when he gets into trouble.

"Okay, I've got a sense of proportion. Don't talk nonsense later, I'll solve it. I said in a deep voice.

Xiaobai looked angry, hesitated for a moment, and nodded unwillingly. When I got to the door, I stared at the door, which had been some years old, and was stunned for a long time.

On this wooden door, too many childhood memories are inscribed. On the door frame, there are still more than a dozen scratches densely packed, which I carved when I was a child.

"Hey, you're just prone to overthinking, and it's useless to look ahead. Stop the ink, I'll knock on your door. Xiaobai couldn't help it a little and slammed his fist on the door a few times.

"Is there anybody? Open the door! Xiaobai yelled.

After shouting a few times, the courtyard was silent, and there was no response at all. Xiaobai also tried to push the door open, but the wooden bolt behind the door should have been plugged in, and it couldn't be pushed at all.

"Hey, don't play dead, come over and open the door, I've seen you!" Xiao Bai leaned on the crack of the door and looked at it, and snorted coldly.

My heart moved, who was inside, and why didn't I open the door when I heard Xiaobai's shout?

"Who's in the house? I'm Chen Fan, open the door quickly! "I roared too.

There was still no response from inside, and I became more and more curious, and wanted to pull Xiaobai open and see who was inside through the crack in the door.

But at this moment, Xiaobai suddenly screamed: "Ah! Hell! ”

In a panic, Xiaobai sat on the ground. His eyes were bigger than eggs, his eyes were terrified, and his expression was a little frozen.

I quickly helped Xiaobai up: "What's the matter?" What do you see? ”

Xiaobai's expression was a little dull, obviously not recovering from the fright. I was in a hurry, so I leaned on the crack of the door and looked at it, but I didn't see anything.

The courtyard was brightly lit, the ground was empty, and the doors of the hall were only closed. Isn't it the way I thought, our house is haunted?

If this is the case, the culprit is most likely to be the black cat or even the force behind the black cat. But what's the point of doing this, just to block me?

"Fanzi, I'm ......" Xiaobai finally came back to his senses, looking like he wanted to say something.

"What the hell is going on? What the hell? I asked in a deep voice.

Xiaobai nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head again and again as if he remembered something. After a few seconds of silence, he said slowly, "I don't know what I'm seeing, but that thing looks really scary." ”

Xiaobai is not a person who has never seen the big world, the "ghost" is the ghost, and he is really not uncommon with me. He definitely won't be pretty, he must be scared a lot, so he will feel terrifying.

"Just now I saw people dressed in colorful clothes, walking around the yard at a very fast pace. When I looked closer, I suddenly saw an eyeball through the crack in the door! No, that eye was on a miserable white face. Xiaobai was already a little incoherent when he spoke.

According to him, there were people in the yard, and there was more than one. Later, someone looked at him through the crack in the door, but the other person's eyes and face were too intimidating.

It should be said that Xiaobai didn't know if what he saw was a person or not. That kind of eyes, and a miserable white face, are more like ghosts.

I gritted my teeth and kicked hard against the door. No matter what exactly is inside, since the other party doesn't open the door, then I can only use violence.

After a little hesitation, Xiaobai also kicked the door with me. Sensing the movement here, Zhang Yang leaned out half of his body from the car: "Why did you start kicking the door?" What happened? ”

Glancing back at him, I was nervous. I saw a child in a red and green dress and a black melon skin hat, sitting in the passenger seat and smiling at me.
