Seeing such a big contrast, Lin Yi suddenly had doubts about his view of the world, vigilantly blocked Liu Ying behind him, and carefully observed the grandmother in front of him with the eye of heaven, but no matter how he looked at it, the grandmother in front of him was just a normal ordinary person!

Liu Ying was obviously frightened, hiding behind Lin Yi like an injured bird, trembling, not daring to look up at the old woman.

The old grandmother noticed the change in the two, followed their gaze, and immediately smiled: "Young man, little girl, don't be afraid, although my old woman is already half of her body into the coffin, she is still a living person, no, you can touch it." ”

Lin Yi still didn't let down his vigilance and asked, "Why is there a portrait of you on that table?" ”

The old grandmother looked back at the two portraits on the table, smiled softly, and said, "This is the portrait of my wife, and the one next to it was prepared for myself." I'm already so old, maybe I'll die suddenly one day, and if I don't even have someone to prepare a posthumous portrait, then how wronged I should be to die. ”

Seeing the grandmother's true feelings, Lin Yi suddenly felt pity in his heart and said, "Then grandma, don't you have any children?" ”

Hearing Lin Yi's inquiry, the old grandmother's expression suddenly changed, and it was a look of disappointment or even despair. I wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back again, sighed softly and said, "You're hungry, I'll go get you something to eat." With that, the old woman turned and walked towards the kitchen in the house.

"Grandma, I'll help you!" Liu Ying hurriedly followed, and Lin Yi was the only one left in the room.

Lin Yi was good at observing words and feelings, just a look from the old grandmother, he understood that there must be something else hidden in this matter, and walked to the middle of the house in a few steps, carefully observing this dilapidated house.

There was no electrical appliance in the room, and the entire room was powered by an old oil lamp. By the dim light of the fire, it was barely possible to see the furnishings of the house, except for a somewhat blackened table, an offering table for the statue, three or two small benches that had been re-nailed, and a large kang. The window facing the kang is sealed with yellowed white paper, and some small holes have appeared in the white paper, and the cold wind can blow directly into the house to the people sleeping on the kang.

Looking at the situation in the whole room, Lin Yi suddenly felt sour in his heart, sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the room, removed the gauze wrapped around his hand, and carefully helped the old grandmother block the small hole in the window.

Just as Lin Yi was blocking the hole, he inadvertently tripped over a piece of wood under his feet. Lin Yi didn't care, and kicked the piece of wood aside, but when Lin Yi went to look at the piece of wood again, he found that it was a small wooden horse that had not been used for many years.

Lin Yi immediately put down the work in his hand, stepped forward to take a closer look at the Trojan horse, and found that it was artificially spliced, and the two black eyes on the Trojan horse could be faintly seen painted by the maker with charcoal.

Lin Yi stared at this little wooden horse carefully for a long time, and felt more and more strange: This is obviously something that children play with, so this grandmother will have at least one child, but what didn't she say just now?

Just when Lin Yi was wondering, Liu Ying's voice came from inside the house: "Lin Yi, what are you doing outside?" Hurry in and eat. ”

Lin Yi gently put the little wooden horse in the position just now, and then turned around and entered the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Yi was attracted by the aroma coming from the house, and the food was already set on the table, although there was only a plate of fried vegetables and two sweet potatoes, Lin Yi was already very hungry, and he sat down and ate it unceremoniously.

Lin Yi ate for a long time, and suddenly found that Liu Ying was sitting opposite him and didn't eat, so he asked, "Why don't you eat?" Isn't it enough? ”

Liu Ying shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry, can you eat it yourself?" ”

"Not hungry? Are you kidding? We came together, I'm half hungry, how can you not be hungry? Hurry up and eat, I can't eat so much. ”

"If you're not hungry, you're not hungry, where do you get so many opinions? Hurry up and eat yours! By the way, you just went out and used a bandage to help the old lady plug the hole in the window, right? I can't see that you're quite detailed! Take your hands and I'll give you the bag again. Saying that, Liu Ying ignored Lin Yi's objection, took his hand in front of him and began to bandage it.

At this moment, the old grandmother in the kitchen walked out tremblingly, saw the scene in front of her and smiled: "You little couple are really affectionate, do you want me to avoid it?" ”

Liu Ying was about to explain, but Lin Yi grabbed Liu Ying's hand and motioned her not to speak. Feeling Liu Ying's unusually cold hand, Lin Yi couldn't help but grasp it a little harder.

"Yes, since it's a couple, you must be in love. By the way, grandma, I just saw a small child playing with a wooden horse outside the door, is it your child's previous toy? ”

Lin Yi asked tentatively, and the old grandmother suddenly fell silent, and after a long time, she said, "Yes, that's a toy made by my wife for my grandson." ”

"And where is your grandson now? Why didn't he take care of you? ”

As soon as Lin Yi said this, the old grandmother's tears finally flowed out and said, "It's not his fault, he was also confused by demons." My wife and I originally had a son, but my son and daughter-in-law died more than 20 years ago, leaving behind a one-year-old grandson. My wife and I raised our grandson and wanted to send him to school and work outside the home, not to stay in this poor country for the rest of his life. But who knows, at this time, an evil god appeared in our small village! ”

Hearing the word evil god, Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What kind of evil god is it?" ”

The old woman wiped her tears, thought about it carefully, and said: "No one has ever seen the specific appearance, but I know that a voice suddenly appeared in the valley that day, and the owner of the voice claimed to be an evil god, as long as everyone believed in him, he could meet any request." My grandson didn't believe it, so he said he wanted a good dinner, and the voice disappeared. In the evening, there was a sumptuous dinner on our dinner table! All kinds of meat are available,"

"My wife and I didn't dare to eat it, but my grandson was bold enough to eat it and nothing happened. But the next day, my grandson got up early and went out, and when I asked him what he was going to do, he said that he was going to make a wish to the evil god and that he would be back in a moment. Since then, my grandson has been able to fulfill his wish every time, and he has firmly believed in the so-called evil god, and has also encouraged other residents to believe in the evil god together. In this way, although this small village is only one or two hundred meters away, my grandson has less and less time to come to see us, and he even does not come again at all, and my wife did not come on the day of his death. Once I really couldn't help but want to see him, but he drove him out, how could my grandson be such a kind child, how could he become like this, woo woo" The old grandmother said, and couldn't help the old tears again, Liu Ying hurriedly stepped forward to comfort.

'Smack! Lin Yi slapped it on the table and said angrily: "Can there still be such a wolf-hearted thing in this society now? I'll go settle accounts with him! ”

Liu Ying hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, didn't you hear the old lady just now say that there is an evil god over there, aren't you afraid of accidents alone?" Let's wait until we get back and call the police to deal with it. ”

Lin Yi smiled lightly, walked straight to the door, and then turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman, and a ghost exorcist policeman!" I'm in charge of this today! Liu Ying, you stay and take good care of your grandmother, I'll go and see what kind of bullshit evil god is sacred! ”
