Li Xiaocheng said that when he saw his grandfather coming up the mountain, he saw hope. He noticed that his father's body was emitting a faint light, like countless fireflies under his clothes. He hadn't possessed a scarecrow before, and he had never seen anyone who could emit a glimmer of light.

He saw his grandfather glancing at him.

This glance made his heart flutter. Because he saw hope in his father's eyes. He knew from his father's eyes that his father had noticed that this scarecrow was unusual.

He saw his father drive away the wild cat with a stone, then walked up to him and carried him back to the house.

When he returned home, he saw his body beside his bed. He saw that he was like a dead corpse with his eyes closed, and his heart was not in a hurry, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one struggle to rush towards him. He threw himself out like he was from the edge of a cliff to the abyss. It was pitch black in front of me, and there was only an endless sense of falling.

He was terrified, thinking that he would keep falling like this.

I don't know how long it took, but he felt like he had bottomed out. He slowly opened his eyes, and saw his mother and grandfather waiting in front of the bed.

The woman asked Grandpa, "We must have offended that wild cat." I'm afraid it will steal from my kitchen, and I'll see it hit it again and again. Maybe it's holding a grudge. But why did it deceive my son's soul into the mountains? If it does not deceive my son's soul to the mountains, but to a farther or more difficult place to find, then my son will die because of his soul, isn't that more relieving? ”

Grandpa thought for a moment and replied, "It's not just for the sake of hatred, it's also for its own considerations." It secretly worships the moon and absorbs the essence of moonlight, but it is afraid that people will find out, so it makes a scarecrow, and tricks the human soul into the scarecrow, borrowing the human soul to cover up the breath it exudes. In this way, it will be difficult for some monster hunters to spot it. ”

Li Mason's woman said: "I see! ”

After his father rescued Li Xiaocheng's soul, he did not stay in Lijiaao for long. He hurried back to Thrush Village, and then went to find Situzi.

As soon as he saw Situzi, his father asked, "Did you see the scarecrow on the way back?" ”

Situ Zi shook his head and said, "No." Why did you suddenly pay attention to the scarecrow? ”

Grandpa told Situ Zi about the matter of Li Mason's family.

Situ Zi listened to it and asked with a smile, "Do you think there is a scarecrow with a soul here?" ”

Daddy nodded.

Situ Zi said: "What does that matter to you?" ”

Grandpa said: "If there is a possibility of endangering the people here, I will prevent it." ”

Situ Zi said: "Do you think that if you are good to others, others will be good to you?" Will it remember you, okay? You have been nice to someone 10,000 times, but once someone thinks you are not nice to him, he will forget the previous 10,000 times because of this time. I advise you to take care of yourself. ”

After Granny Wu's funeral was completed, Situ Zi did not leave here. He stayed at Granny Wu's house. Because Granny Wu had no relatives and no reason, the house was empty and empty, so no one came to drive Situ Zi. What's more, Situ Zi still has some small money, and he often spends generously, which is deeply loved by the locals.

One day, Situ Zi came to Thrush Village to talk to his father about astronomy and geography. It just so happened that Xie Xiaomi was also there.

Chatting and chatting, Situ Zi suddenly said to his grandfather: "I have calculated it, you have to be careful of disasters recently, and go out less at night, otherwise you may encounter unwarranted disasters." ”

Xie Xiaoxiao sneered: "Aren't you a yellow dog and a black dog that day?" Why do you dare to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong? ”

Grandpa said for Situ Zi: "Xiaomi, you can't say that." Although his calculation is not as good as mine, he sees me more accurately than I see myself, and he calculates me more effectively than I calculate myself. It's the same as when you look in the mirror and apply yellow, it's hardest for you to see yourself, and the mirror and others know you better than you. Then, Grandpa thanked Situ Zi for the reminder.

That night, my father saw a horrific scene at the door.

There were countless stiff corpses jumping around outside the threshold!

In an instant, Daddy thought that the weak man king had chased a group of weak men to Thrush Village!

At that time, my grandfather was the only one in the hall, and the others had already gone back to the house to rest. He didn't dare to shout for help, for fear of frightening his father, who was already sick in bed.

Fortunately, the first thing my grandfather did when he came back from out of town was to raise the threshold of the family, so he didn't panic when he saw this scene.

Daddy thought those zombies would jump from far to near and jump to the door. But the zombies didn't seem to have any intention of jumping into the house. They just jumped up and down on the floor in front of them, up and down, like a locust plague more than a decade later.

My grandfather once said that when he was young, my grandfather experienced the worst locust plague in Chinese history. A swarm of locusts jumps in front of you, and all the grass and trees on the ground will be eaten.

Those zombies also have such momentum.

Grandpa looked at it for a while, and boldly asked outside, "Friend, since you're here, come in and sit down!" It's good to have a chat and a cup of tea. ”

Grandpa said this so as not to worry his father. It doesn't matter if the father hears this. This sentence can make the father think that some of his father's friends are coming. For my father, this sentence is not only to ask the comer, but also to embolden himself.

If the other party answers, Daddy will be able to know the details of the other party. If the other party also agrees to come in, it means that the other party is not afraid of a high threshold, so that the weak king can be excluded. If the other party does not come in, it means that the other party is afraid of the high threshold, and it is very likely that it is the weak king, and it is not excluded that other ghosts who are afraid of the high threshold.

After listening to Daddy's words, the jumping zombies stopped jumping and stood quietly on the floor in front of the door.

Grandpa thought to himself, Situ Zi was really accurate.

At this moment, a black cat slowly walked out from under the zombies.

Grandpa was immediately relieved. Grandpa smiled: "It turned out to be you!" I haven't pursued Li Xiaocheng's matter last time, but you took the initiative to come to the door! Grandpa realized that it was not zombies jumping on the floor, but scarecrows!

Each of these scarecrows has a human soul attached to it.

"Meow......" the wildcat chirped.

Daddy laughed: "This friend! You haven't learned to speak yet, have you? You can't even talk to people, and you're embarrassed to come to me and shout? ”

The wild cat laughed when he saw that his father was not shocked, and laughed at him for not being able to speak, and his cultivation was not deep, and his arrogance was suppressed immediately.

"Meow......" it cried out indignantly, turning away.

The scarecrows all followed and bounced away.

Then the father of the house said with difficulty, "My son, what are you doing with a cat!" ”

Daddy was shocked. It turned out that my father knew everything.

Grandpa hurried to his father's room.

Daddy's father said: "It's still a cat that can't speak, it's so powerful, if it comes to you when it can speak human words, come back to you, see how you deal with it!" ”

Grandpa was silent.

Daddy's father sighed, "It's not your fault. If you want to blame it, I didn't let you read the sages because of your brother's affairs, and I didn't consider your feelings. You have to spend all your time on things like Zhou Yi, Mei Blossom, Yi Shu, Mai, and God Looks. The ghost is like that sometimes, you don't bother with it, it doesn't bother with you. You have the heart to understand it, and it will in turn approach you. I'm the one who led you astray. ”

Grandpa hurriedly persuaded: "No, no." Now that there is no imperial examination, I studied hard at the beginning, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, wasting a lot of time. ”

"With your ability, you will be able to name the gold list before the imperial examination is canceled, and I know this. Don't use these lies to make me feel comfortable. Daddy's father coughed twice, "But you don't have to be afraid of the cat, it will come to you in the future, you just have to listen to Daddy's word - use orange peel against it, and it will not be able to come near you." ”

Daddy's father died a few days later.

He didn't get to see his grandfather get married, but he often saw Xie Xiaomi coming to Thrush Village, and he always thought that Xie Xiaomi would become his daughter-in-law in the future, so he didn't have too many regrets before leaving.

About half a month after my father's funeral, a woman came to Thrush Village on a sunny day with a red paper umbrella, asked where my father's home was, and then found my father and asked him to take her to his father's grave to pay respects. When her father took her to the ancestral tomb mountain to worship, he told her not to open the paper umbrella, for fear that the branches or thorny vines on the mountain would scratch her paper umbrella. But she didn't listen, so she had to fight.

At that time, there was no such thing as a sun umbrella, and both men and women, as long as they went out with an umbrella in the weather when it was not raining, they would definitely be laughed at.

If a child goes out with an umbrella when it is not raining, the adults in the family will lie and scare that they will get leprosy on their heads when they wear an umbrella on a sunny day.

It took a lot of courage for that woman to walk the streets with a red paper umbrella in that environment.

But she not only has the courage to play an umbrella, but also the skill of playing an umbrella. She followed her grandfather up the mountain with an umbrella, and the umbrella walked easily among the tangled branches and vine thorns, like a lively little fish moving freely in the cracks of the stones.

When he arrived at the ancestral cemetery, his father, who was so familiar with the situation on the mountain, would inevitably be pierced by two or three thorns hidden in the green leaves, and the woman's paper umbrella did not even have a small opening.

The woman stood in front of her father's grave for a long time, without saying a word, without shedding a single tear, but just stood silently.

After standing for about two pillars of incense, she asked her grandfather to lead her down the mountain.

Grandpa opened the way for her in front. Although her umbrella was not damaged when she went up the mountain, her grandfather was still worried that her umbrella would be hung by cat bone spurs when he came down the mountain.

When he was about to go down the mountain, Grandpa suddenly felt that there was no sound of walking behind him.

He looked back and the woman was gone.

Grandpa hurriedly returned to the mountain to look for it, but after searching the whole mountain, he couldn't find the woman with the umbrella.
