Chapter 30: Extinguishing the Mouth
Hearing Morning Star say this, the old man's eyes immediately widened.
"Sun... Sun Kui's father? ”
"That's right." Morningstar said.
"I... I did drink with him, but did I tell him about that night? ”
"It should have been said..."
Morning Star told the old man Sun Xue'an about the mute old man we found in the snow in Fengyang Town and sent him home.
"You mean, he's mute?" The old man asked in surprise.
"yes, don't you know?"
The old man shook his head stunned.
Not only did he become dumb, but he was also not very sane. However, when we sent him back, he knew his home and got out of the car by himself. So I think it's not accidental that he fainted in Fengyang Town and was seen by us. When you first drank with him, you must have told him about the exorcism of the brick kiln factory..."
The old man thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up, "Ah, yes, yes, I remember this..."
The old man told us that it was the day after he had returned home from his resignation from the brick kiln. Sun Kui's father somehow heard about it and brought some things to see him. Both old men liked to drink a little wine, and as they drank, their tongues grew bigger. Sun Kui's father asked him the reason for his resignation, and the old man said that the factory was haunted, and an accountant was scared to death by a ghost, and it was said that the owner of the brick factory invited a mage from Fengyang Town to drive the ghost away, and then talked about something later, the old man didn't remember...
Chenxing and I looked at each other, and said in my heart, looking at this, the reason why the mute old man ran to Fengyang Town may indeed be to find us...
"Boy, give me another cigarette."
I took out a cigarette and gave it to him, and the old man shivered and lit it, and took a hard puff.
"Uncle."
"Huh?"
I thought for a moment and asked, "How did you and Sun Kui's father meet?" ”
"Well, I met when I was in the city."
"When you're in the city?"
"Well, I was in the city to show the gate of someone else's factory, and his family lived nearby, and after getting acquainted, we often drank some wine together. Later, when his family moved to the countryside, I went to the brick factory, and he came to meet with me from time to time. ”
"His son, what does Sun Kui do? Is filial piety in ordinary times? I asked again.
"Not very filial, the old man complains to me every time he drinks, and I don't know exactly what his son does..."
I thought in my heart that the person who gave money to this old man Sun Xue'an must have been appointed by the person who harmed the king's accountant. Regarding the birth that night, this old man Sun Xue'an confided in Sun Kui's father after drinking... Could it be that Sun Kui's father, or Sun Kui, knows the person who harmed the king's accountant? …
"Morning Star, let's go, let's go to Sun Quina Village."
"Wait." Morningstar reached out and grabbed me.
"What's wrong?"
Morning Star said to the old man, "Uncle, why didn't you go home last night?" ”
I patted myself lightly on the forehead, and said to myself, I forgot that there was another one like last night.
"Huh?" The old man was stunned, "Because I dreamed of Accountant Wang the night before." ”
"Dreaming of Accountant Wang?" I frowned.
"Well, didn't it snow heavily the night before, I had been asleep for a long time, and I was sleeping in a daze, and I saw Accountant Wang walk in from outside. It scared the hell out of me, I thought he was looking for me. He stood in the house for a while and then left, and the more I woke up in the morning, the more restless I became. I think it may be provoked by these money, I received black money, and the ghost entered the door in the middle of the night. Thinking of this, I got out of bed and went out to the prefecture, intending to save the money. But I don't know how to save, for fear that people will ask me where I got this money. It was dark all the time, and I didn't dare to go in when the bank was off work. It was a cold day, and it was difficult to walk at night, so I found a cheap hostel to sleep in..."
"Accountant Wang didn't come to you to ask for your life, but to save you." I said.
"Help me?"
"Well, you can't live here anymore, you hurry up and get out of here and take refuge in a place where no one knows you for a while."
"Why?"
"Because, something came to hurt you last night, and I beat you away, maybe it will come later."
The old man's face turned white, "Really, really or fake?" ”
I snorted and smiled coldly, "Believe it or not, Morningstar, let's go..."
Out of the courtyard of Sun Xue'an's old man's house, we came to the village road, thinking back to what happened last night, I still have palpitations at the moment. As I walked, I felt that Morningstar hadn't followed, and when I looked back, I saw her squatting on the ground and tying her shoes. I smiled and walked over to her, and as I got closer, I saw a scratch on Morningstar's ankle.
"How did you get this?"
Morningstar hurriedly pulled down his trousers and smiled at me, "I kicked the glass last night, it doesn't matter." ”
"I'll see."
"No, it's fine..."
"Let's go, I'll carry you."
"No... Hey, you guy..."
I picked up the morning star and left, and when I met the villagers, I didn't care if I knew them or not, and smiled at each other, "Morning! ”… Engage others to stare at each other. Morning Star was lying on my back, his chin resting on my shoulder, slightly shy, blushing.
"Ah Leng."
"Huh?"
"You say, the evil spirit last night, the reason why he came over to harm this Uncle Sun, was he assigned?"
"You mean, the one who killed the king's accountant?"
Morningstar let out a faint 'um'.
"It's hard to say, that ghost thing last night doesn't look like it was artificially raised. Besides, if that man wanted to kill the old man, he would have done it a long time ago, and he would not have returned the money to him, otherwise wouldn't it be a superfluous move? But then again, if it wasn't assigned by someone, why was the target of that thing the place where this old man Sun lived, and not where the rest of the people in the village lived..."
Although Morning Star is smart, he can't analyze such natural things.
"Okay, don't waste your brainpower, right and wrong, ask that Sun Kui then, if he dares not to tell the truth, see how I beat him."
"You're going to beat you up... By the way, I still don't understand what evil is. ”
"You should know about the evil qi in Feng Shui, right?"
"Hmm."
"If evil energy is compared to a rope, then evil is like a giant rope that twists thousands of strands of rope together..."
"Oh, I see..."
"Alright, don't be evil." I laughed, "You are lying on my shoulder like this and blowing it tickles my neck." If this continues, I'm going to become evil, and then the evil spirit will come to my brain, ahhh
"You guy..."
Out of the village, to the car, I put the morning star down.
"I'm sorry to smash the glass of your car like this, let's change it when the time comes..."
"Oh, it's not this female paper, how did you smash it like this?" I laughed, "It's okay, it's okay, someone else drives a convertible, we're more advanced, we're calling it an open-glass car." ”
Morningstar snorted at me.
"If you drive on the road like this, the attention rate must be high." I smiled and looked around and waved my hand, "Let's go, get in the car, let's get out..."
All the way to the south, it did attract the attention of many pedestrians, with different expressions, and I was very happy to see. However, after turning west, I couldn't be happy anymore. The northwest wind poured into the car, and my teeth rattled from the cold.
"Morning... Morningstar, how did you turn green... The blue-faced leprechaun, I... I took off my clothes and gave ... Dress you in..."
"Don't... Don't be, you look in the rearview mirror... You're not like Yang yet... Yang Zhi is the same..."
"Yang... Yang Zhi? You mean I'm like a green... Blue-faced beasts? ”
"You... What do you think..."
Back in the village of Sun Quina, it was already noon. Parking the car in front of the small restaurant, I rushed in, half-hugging and half-hugging the Morning Star. The boss was sitting by the stove and napping, so frightened that he almost jumped up.
"Where have you two been?"
My face was numb from the cold, and I couldn't speak. He gestured to the boss like a dumb word, and soon, he came out with a small hot pot.
Halfway through eating and drinking, I finally relieved myself.
"We came yesterday, remember you have a guy here, didn't you come today?" I asked the boss.
"Young man?" The boss was stunned, "He's going to help." ”
"Where to help?"
"It's the one you asked yesterday, Sun Kui's family."
"Sun Kui's family?" My heart sank, "Why did you go to his house to help?" ”
"Sun Kui is dead."
There was a 'boom' in my head, "What did you say?" ”
"Sun Kui is dead." The boss spread his hands, "Early this morning, Sun Kui and his daughter-in-law drove to return the coffin. When I left the village, the rural car skidped, broke the railing of the bridge, and overturned into the river, and both of them died..."
Morning Star and I looked at each other.
"Where's Sun Kui's father?"
"The old man stayed at home, didn't follow, and escaped..."
Coming out of the small restaurant, I let out a long breath into the gloomy sky.
"Evil, evil..."
"Are you saying that the reason why Sun Kui and his wife died was because of evil spirits?" Morningstar asked.
"It must be."
"Could it be that after the evil ran away last night, he went to Sun Kui's house?" Morningstar asked.
"Not necessarily, it could be something else."
"Ah Leng."
"Huh?"
"Judging from this point of view, the evil is indeed sent by someone, and the other party's purpose is to destroy the mouth."
"Extinguish the mouth," I said with a wry smile, "It is indeed a good way to kill people invisibly." But why didn't the man perish earlier? actually gave money to the old man Sun Xue'an. ”
"Do you remember," Morningstar mused, "do you remember the urn in the brick kiln?" ”
"Columbarium?"
"Well, weren't you very puzzled at the beginning, why didn't the person who instructed Accountant Wang bury the ashes altar to harm him take the ashes altar away afterwards."
Hearing Morning Star say this, my eyes suddenly lit up.
Morningstar continued, "You thought that the man must have encountered some obstacle to digging the urn. If this is the case, I think that the person who sent someone to give Uncle Sun was not the one who used evil magic to borrow the king's account for Yangshou, but the person who spent money to buy Yangshou, and his purpose was to temporarily stabilize Uncle Sun. When the sorcerer is able to 'get free,' then he will be killed without knowing it..."
I thought about it, and took Morning Star's hand, "Let's go, go to Sun Kui's house and have a look." ”
When I came to Sun Kui's house, I saw two vermilion doors open. There were many cars parked on both sides of the door, in addition to agricultural vehicles, and there were other vehicles, and the sound of 'crackling' firewood came from the courtyard.
I made up my mind, and walked into the gate with Morning Star, and went around the wall to the courtyard. The mourning shed had not yet been erected, and when I looked into the house, I could vaguely see two coffins.
The people in the yard were busy boiling water and chopping wood, and no one noticed us. As Morningstar and I were walking into the house, we heard a stammering voice coming from inside the house.
"Take, take this, take it outside."
