Chapter 19 Revisiting the Kiln Factory

The black shadows looked like people one by one, squatting side by side, looming, under the mound, next to the mound, in a long line...

My head was big all of a sudden... What is this place? The execution ground, the place where the prisoners were shot in the past, what can these black shadows that suddenly appeared? Could it be the dead ghosts who were shot in the past? … It seems that yes, but how did 'they' come out? Could it be that the moment I cast the spell just now, the evil aura of this execution ground condensed, and these dead ghosts were not restrained, so they emerged from the ground? …

I think it should be... These dead ghosts have been unable to reincarnate for many years, and their grievances are very heavy, and they can vaguely see 'them' with the naked eye, but they can't feel it from the senses, which means that they are just like what we encountered in Jinshan Primary School, that Wang Accountant, has a strong energy...

In the face of so many dead ghosts, my heart was hairy, and I didn't know what to do for a while, and my head was empty. Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, I thought of Morning Star, and I looked up at the top of the mound, where Morning Star was squatting, and I didn't see anyone at all... Where is Morningstar? My heart was cold, and at this time, those dead ghosts who were originally squatting under the mound stood up one by one... Not good! As soon as this thought fell on my mind, the dead ghosts floated towards me, and I quickly stepped back, casually touched my pocket, and found a piece of rune paper, whether it was useful or not, when I was about to throw it at the dead ghosts... That's when the unexpected happened...

The dead ghosts shook as if they had been electrocuted by the group, and then, as if they had seen something extremely terrible, they exploded in an instant, and they swayed rapidly, squeezing each other together, and then, one by one, they burrowed into the mound, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone...

I stood stunned, feeling like I couldn't figure out what was going on. Look at the rune paper in his hand, it is just an ordinary Liuding Liujia rune, the lonely void rune, the ice rune, and other powerful magic weapons, all in the bag. Just when I was puzzled, I felt someone push me lightly from behind, a violent jump of conditioned reflex, and a turn after landing, and when I was about to kick over, I saw clearly that the person who pushed me was the morning star...

"Ah Leng, what's wrong with you?"

Morningstar looked frightened by my overreaction.

"Oops," I stroked my chest and asked with concern, "Are you alright?" Where did you just go? ”

"Me?" Morning Star was stunned, "When I saw you standing up, I felt that you should have finished casting the spell, so I came down from the back of the mound." After I came down, I remembered what you told me, and I was afraid that you would be angry, and I was afraid that there would be some potential danger, so I went around from afar..."Morning Star paused and asked in a low voice, "Ah Leng, do you blame me for not listening to you and coming down privately, so you are angry with me?" ”

"Huh? How so? Have you... See those ghosts? ”

"Ghosts?" Morningstar nodded, "When you cast the spell, I saw something like a face appear in this wasteland, it was too dark to see clearly..."

"No," I interrupted, gesturing to the mound, "I'm talking about the dead ghosts who were shot..."

Morningstar looked along my finger, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

I still feel a little furious when I think of the dead ghosts from before, no matter what happened just now, now that they have gone back to the underground, and the Morning Star is safe and sound, it will be fine.

"Ah Leng, I'm a little cold..."

Morningstar clasped his hands to his chest and whispered. My heart ached, and I reached out and pulled my coat over Morningstar's shoulders, and looked around, "Let's go back, let's go..."

Back at the restaurant, it was already late at night. After singing a big drama for a day, the empty space in front of the building was messy, there was a lot of garbage, and it had not been cleaned yet. According to what I said, the restaurant has not closed, and the neighbors of Xiaoqing's family, as well as her mother-in-law's family, have already left. Master, they're all here. Old Man Yang was locked in a small box on the first floor of the restaurant, and several people were guarding the door. Xiaoqing sat on the ground leaning against the door, dozing off with her head tilted.

"How is Master?"

Master calculated a game with his heart, and when he opened his eyes, I asked with some trepidation.

"It's okay," Master smiled slightly.

I let out a sigh of relief, and I felt like I was losing my strength, and if it hadn't been for the Morning Star holding me up, I might have fallen to the ground.

Big stone, Yang Deqiang's two bastards, they didn't admit that they were instructed by others to bring the urn and those things. According to what Ah Feng and I wanted, we beat them up and put some 'torture' on them, so that they didn't have to say anything, but the master didn't agree. Old man Yang has a good heart, although he was victimized by them, he didn't blame them much, saying that after all, he was a member of the Yang family, and there had always been grievances and misunderstandings... In this way, Xiang Feng and I had to give up. Several people analyzed it together, and they all believed that it was instigated by Wan Jinshan. Before Mr. Yang had a stroke, he would go to the temple every year on his birthday to offer incense, and Wan Jinshan knew. It seems that Wanjin Mountain went to Taihang Mountain. Listening to Da Shi's previous statement that the hunchbacked old man 'Fifth Grandfather' in the nameless mountain village in Taihang Mountain died, Old Man Yang was very worried in his heart, worried that some kind of change might have happened in that village, and wanted to go there to see.

The master decided to go out in person and accompany him to track down Wanjin Mountain, lest he continue to harm people, while Uncle Yang accompanied the master to 'escort' Da Shi and Yang Deqiang, and Xiao Qing's younger brother drove, and several people set off early the next morning.

In the past few days, we have all lived in Xiaoqing's house, I don't know if it is a cold, Chenxing has a fever as soon as he returns to Xiaoqing's house, and it took three days of hanging needles to barely subside the fever, and the whole person looks very weak and distressing. I bought all kinds of ingredients every day and made soup for Morning Star, and by the fifth day, Morning Star's face finally had some blood. After Morningstar was well, I decided to go to the brick kiln factory again. Tracking down the matter of Wanjin Mountain, with the master out of the horse, we don't have to worry about it for the time being. In the past few days, Ah Feng has gone to the park in this county town every day to practice, and he often does not see anyone.

"Let Yuxin go with you," Morningstar said.

"Huh?"

"Yuxin has a lot of connections with the brick kiln factory, and she is quite familiar with the boss inside."

"I'll go by myself, Yuxin will take care of you."

"It's not a serious illness, and I'm much better, I don't need to take care of it, look at your seriousness." Morning Star smiled, "Besides, there is Sister Qing..."

"Heh... She takes care of..."

"What's wrong? So what about looking down on Sister Qing? ”

I smiled and gently stroked Morningstar's bangs, "Okay, whatever you want to eat, let her cook it for you, do you hear?" Also, you're in good health, don't go out and run around, cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep..."

"It's not a child," Morningstar snorted, "Got it, Master Rory." ”

"Hey, how did you learn that?"

"What, Yuxin can call, can't I call?" Morningstar pouted at me.

"Hehe, okay... Yuxin! ”

"Huh?"

"Let's go, come with me..."

Yuxin carried me out of the county town and headed for the brick kiln factory.

"I suddenly had a feeling..."

"What's the matter, Master Leng is making a lot of poetry again?" Yu Xin stared at the road ahead and asked with a smile.

"Of course not, I think... Boss Wang's death may not have been caused by the original house in the abandoned mansion..."

Yuxin frowned and looked at me, "Why?" Brother Wang, Brother Wang's son, and Brother Wang's mother, weren't they all killed by that house? At that time, if you hadn't saved me by getting rid of that house with Master, I would have died..."

"I didn't know, just now, I suddenly had such a feeling in my heart..."

Yuxin bit her lip and drove quietly in the car, and after a long time, she said, "If it's not the house?" What's wrong with that? ”

I shook my head.

In terms of distance, it is almost the intersection to the abandoned house.

"Yuxin."

"Huh?"

"Would you like to stop by the ruined mansion?"

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, "You can go as long as you say..."

The abandoned house was as desolate as ever, and the leaves swayed in the cool breeze. It's unimaginable that just such a place is the source of contradictions among the Yang family... At the beginning, during the Cultural Revolution, Xiaoqing's grandfather was the wooden gossip found here, which led to a series of accidents later...

And since that night last winter, when Master and I cast a spell here to get rid of an evil spirit, I have known Yuxin, and I have been involved in the rights and wrongs, grievances and grievances of the Xiaoqing family...

Yu Xin stared straight at the place in the courtyard where she had cast a spell to save her, not knowing what she was thinking. I sighed lowly, looked at the room where there was a lot of wood, and thought of the wooden board I found in that room when I came with Morningstar a few years ago, and I had an indescribable feeling in my heart...

After a while in the ruined house, we went to the brick kiln factory. What I didn't expect was that the barren meadow in the southwest corner of the brick factory, which I saw on the chimney at the beginning, has now been bulldozed and a toilet has been built.

Originally, after the old janitor of the brick factory resigned, he was replaced by an old janitor. Boss Wu of the brick factory was sitting in the guard's room, drinking tea and chatting with the old man. Seeing us coming, Boss Wu was very affectionate, pouring water and handing cigarettes.

"No need..."I smiled and waved my hand, "Boss Wu has been doing well lately?" ”

"Hey, since Master Xiao Leng gave me the removal of ghosts in this factory, the business has been quite good."

"That's good," I smiled, "Yuxin will sit here for a while, and I'll walk around." ”

"Okay."

"Shall I accompany you?" Boss Wu asked.

"No, it's not a visit, I'm just strolling around..."

Coming out of the guard's room, I looked up at the towering chimney and walked in the direction of the brick-burning kiln.

The machines roared, and the bricks spit out of the machines one by one, flowing down the conveyor belt. A group of workers are toiling and busy.

"My day is your ancestor, you don't understand what Lao Tzu said? I told you to bring that thing to Lao Tzu, you poke and poke..."

I was walking, and suddenly such a sentence got into my ears, I was stunned and stopped, there are still Sichuan people working in this brick kiln factory? …

When I looked over, I saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged thin man, wearing a hat like a construction worker on his head, and a lot of dry mud on his body...

"Big brother..."

The man was startled and looked me up and down, "What's the matter with the boss?" ”

"Oh, it's okay," I smiled, pulling out a cigarette and handing it to him, "borrow a step to speak." ”

The man took it with both hands and said with a smile, "Such a good cigarette, thank you..."

When I came to a quiet place, I asked, "Big brother, Sichuan?" ”

"It's dripping..."

"New here?"

"I've been here for a while, my brother used to work here."

"Your brother?"

"Well, alas... Last year, a kiln collapsed in this brick factory and crushed five workers, including my brother..."
