"Laughing, what is this for?"
Seeing the lame old man in front of him and the old woman in new clothes, but with a haggard face, walked over, and the group hurriedly pulled aside to give way, but it seemed that it was difficult to hide the curiosity in their hearts, Gillian asked in a low voice.
"This should be shouting the ghost road, and also shouting the way back."
glanced at Gillian and explained to her in a whisper, and the other trialists heard it, but they also pricked up their ears and listened to the story of the conversation and laughter with curiosity, and even the old woman Chu seemed to listen to her ears with some thoughts.
"In some places, there is a saying that on the seventh day of death, the ghost will come back from the underworld once to see if the future affairs of his relatives are not good or not, but in some places, the ghost will come back on the seventh and seventy-ninth days, which is also called Guiqi."
"But if the dead person died tragically outside, and when he died, he had no relatives or friends around him, and the corpse could not be found or the corpse was incomplete, at this time, there is a saying that this ghost will not find a way back."
"Because of the fear of this, the relatives of the deceased will guide him at home on the day before the 7749th day of his death, and pave the road for him in advance by throwing paper money, and when the time comes, he can return to his home as long as he follows the road that his relatives have walked before, which is called shouting the way back, or shouting the ghost road."
"It should be like this, Mr. Chu, what do you say?"
After talking to everyone, the conversation and laughter suddenly asked the old lady Chu inexplicably.
"Huh? Uh-huh. ”
was suddenly mentioned by Tan Xiao, and the old lady Chu didn't react for a while, but then she nodded, indicating that Tan Xiao was right.
Immediately after a pause, the old lady Chu immediately spoke,
"That's the sister-in-law of the Chen family, she is a good person, but it's a pity that her man has not accumulated yin virtue, he is a famous stinky mouth Chen in the village, the last time the zombies attacked the village, her man was the first to be killed, and he didn't even eat the corpse!"
As she spoke, Old Lady Chu seemed to have some indescribable emotion.
"This is the old cripple who leads the way, he is the caretaker of Yizhuang in this Gaojia Village, and he will also have a little trick, and I am almost the same, I live by doing some white things for the people in the village on weekdays, and the general rules here are to find him for nothing, and find me for some other things."
"Oh oh oh, so this old man is also a master of Taoism?" Subconsciously, he seemed to be more interested in this, and Ping'an, who hadn't spoken much along the way, suddenly asked rhetorically.
"No, the old woman can't talk nonsense about some things, but the old lame man only understands some rough things, and there are not many real tricks, that is, to help everyone and get something to eat."
Hearing Ping'an's question, Old Lady Chu was stunned for a moment, but then shook her head.
Talking and laughing at the kung fu of a few people, the lame old man and the old man who was called the sister-in-law of the Chen family by the old lady Chu had already walked over.
When he walked past everyone, he seemed to see everyone with Old Lady Chu, and the lame old man looked a little surprised, but he nodded at her and said hello, Old Lady Chu also nodded and gestured to the other party.
As for the sister-in-law of the Chen family who followed the lame old man, she was like a marionette, stumbling with a sad expression, following the lame old man, seemingly completely immersed in her own world, not caring about the things around her.
Seeing the appearance of the Chen family's sister-in-law, the old lady Chu sighed again.
"Let's keep walking, I'll stay in front, but I don't have a lot of space there, and when you get to me, you can only leave him, and you can go and spend the night in a house where no one is home."
"Many people are gone, and there are only these empty houses left, hey!"
After the lame old man and the sister-in-law of the Chen family who shouted the ghost road walked over, the old lady Chu immediately stretched out her hand and pointed ahead, and then said a word to everyone.
"It's okay, when the time comes, Chen Yong will trouble your old man."
Hearing Old Lady Chu's words, a trace of imperceptible light flashed in her eyes, and then she paused, but nodded in agreement.
As the old lady Chu said, after walking forward for a while, when she arrived at the place where she lived, two adobe houses that looked relatively less dilapidated were still a little dilapidated, but at least they had a little more human habitation.
The door of the main hall is unlocked, it is open, and you can see from the outside of the door, the main hall is enshrined with several tablets, incense and candles, and tributes, and under the tablets is a table covered with old cloth, on which are two bowls, and then a futon is placed on the ground.
For the rest, there were some people eating in the house, which looked a little strange, and the rest was only a straw on the floor against the wall, which seemed to be a floor bunk.
The side room next to it had no door, and a rag curtain hung on it, which was kind of a shield.
Entering the house alone, the old woman Chu motioned for the gun to carry Chen Yong in, and then asked him to put Chen Yong on the straw on the ground.
At this point, inexplicably, there was a hint of surprise in Tan Xiao's eyes, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
"Eh, smile, what are you laughing at?"
As if noticing the smile under the conversation, Gillian looked over with a smile and slightly heroic eyes.
"Hehe, look at this straw mat, the one where Chen Yong is lying, if I guess correctly, it is the mat where the dead are placed, it seems that Mr. Chu really has no place here."
smiled slightly, and explained to Gillian in a whisper with a curvature on the corner of his mouth, and after explaining, he couldn't help it, and Gillian also snickered.
After settling Chen Yong, Mrs. Chu was worried that a few people would find a place to live by themselves and run into the taboo of the villagers, although some houses were empty, but the relatives of the owner of the house were still there, so they rashly stayed overnight, for fear of making people unhappy.
In addition, the sky had completely darkened, so Mrs. Chu personally led everyone to find those places where no one had anyone to stay.
As the old lady Chu said, this village originally had nearly 100 households, but now it is ten rooms and nine empty, and there are decaying dilapidated and empty houses everywhere.
Although it was already dark, it was easy for the old lady Chu to find a place for the trialists to stay.
An abandoned Sanhe house, although it is a little dilapidated, full of dust and cobwebs, and all kinds of tattered tables and chairs, but unexpectedly, it is much better than where Mrs. Chu lives, at least this Sanhe house is a brick house.
