"It's nothing, it's just curiosity, Uncle Zhao doesn't have to think about it!" Dad also replied like this, and the conversation between Dad and Zhao Laogua seemed to have something in his words.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and at this time, my father said, "Uncle Zhao, can you take us to the place where you picked up your daughter in the morning?" ”

Zhao Laogua was stunned for a moment, a little strange flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Okay, it's just that the place is a bit far away, and the road is not easy to walk." ”

After eating, it's time to go.

Before going out, Zhao Laogua locked all the doors, especially the door of his daughter's house, and he also deliberately added another lock.

Find Lao Gua's house close to the entrance of the village, and walk towards the deep ditch to really enter Da Lishu Village.

There are many households in the ditch, and there are relatively few mud-walled and tiled houses, most of which are grass houses. There are quite a lot of houses, but there are not many villagers on the road. Moreover, the villagers I saw, they all stared at me and my father, not to mention how strange their eyes were.

As he walked, Zhao Laogua greeted the villagers and introduced them to him, saying that my father and I were the gentlemen he invited to see his daughter.

It seems that the villagers of Da Lishu Village who I heard before are very xenophobic, which is not false at all, and the villagers look at me and my father very repulsively.

Walking towards the mountain, there is also a large bamboo forest in front of it, there is a family next to the bamboo forest, Zhao Laogua whispered: "That is the home of the blind king of the fortune teller, don't go to his house when you are fine, you have also seen the blind man, that person has a very strange temper." ”

My father and I both nodded, and followed Zhao Laogua all the way, passing through the bamboo forest, and the other side of the bamboo forest was full of woods. Like our village, there are many dogwood forests here.

Zhao Laogua said that the place where he picked up the child was very far away, it was indeed true, and he didn't know the time, about more than two hours in the mountain, Zhao Laogua looked around, stopped, and said that it was almost there.

This place has reached the deep ditch of Da Lishu Village, although there is the sun, but I always feel that the surrounding fog is rising, and the wild grass next to it is as high as a person.

Zhao Laogua wandered around that place for a while, and finally said: "I remember that there is a green stone near here, I came here a few days ago, why is it gone now?" ”

My father and I searched for a while, and then I saw that there seemed to be something in the grass over there.

"Isn't that the one?" I asked.

Zhao Laogua was looking for it on the other side, and when he heard me say this, my father and he both ran over, Zhao Laogua went over, picked up the barren grass and said: "This is this place, when I saw my Yan'er, she was placed on the edge of this stone." ”

I took a closer look, and I felt that this place seemed to be a very large dirt bag, half of the bluestone was buried in the soil, and there were two other bluestones scattered next to this bluestone.

"Is this someone's graveyard nearby?" My dad squatted down, looked at the bluestones and said.

"Cemetery, I've never heard of this being a cemetery, and our village cemetery won't be buried so far." Zhao Laogua scratched the back of his head and said.

Daddy took a stick from the side, and he dug near the bluestone, and the surface was a layer of normal-colored soil, and the inside was black, and there was rotten paper in the middle of the soil.

Daddy smiled and glanced at the old melon.

Zhao Laogua was stunned by my father.

"I burned it, come and burn a few pieces of paper during Qingming, after all, my Yan'er still picked it up from here." Dad didn't ask, but Zhao Laogua himself explained.

"Alright, let's go back!" Daddy nodded and said.

What do you mean, has Daddy already discovered something, why did he suddenly go back?

"That's it?" That Zhao Laogua seemed to be a little surprised.

"That's right, that's it, I already know what your daughter's problem is, let's go, let's talk as we go, and what I'm going to say is not appropriate in this place." Daddy was very mysterious, he glanced at the grave-like dirt bag and deliberately lowered his voice.

Following my father, I walked in the direction of the village for a long time, and my father spoke, and my father asked: "Uncle Zhao, I don't know if you can still remember the events of more than 20 years ago?" ”

Zhao Laogua looked puzzled, and he said: "If the events of more than 20 years ago are very impressive, then they must be remembered clearly." Mr. Yang, I don't know what you're talking about? ”

"More than twenty years ago, a year before you picked up your daughter, you must have been to that place, am I right?" Daddy looked at Zhao Laogua and asked.

Zhao Laogua touched the back of his head, and said with a distressed look: "That place, I will go up the mountain to collect medicine or something, and I should have been to that place more than 20 years ago!" ”

Zhao Laogua didn't look so sure.

"Then let me ask you again, did you sleep on that bluestone with your head on the headrest and have a dream twenty years ago because you were tired, am I right?" Daddy continued to ask.

This sentence made Zhao Laogua's face change suddenly, he looked at my father, and asked in disbelief: "Ouch, you are really a living immortal, even you know this?" ”

Daddy didn't explain to him, but continued: "Not only do I know this, I also know that you went to a place in your dream and met a woman. ”

"Yes...... Yes, there is such a dream, to be honest, it has been more than 20 years, and I still remember that dream clearly. When Zhao Laogua said this, his mouth trembled a little, and his old face was blushing for a while, you can imagine what happened in the dream.

"It shouldn't be an accident that you picked up that girl, there must be someone who has a dream with you, and it is that woman who has a dream with you, right?" Daddy said.

Zhao Laogua nodded, he sighed and said, "That's right, Mr. Yang, what you said is not wrong at all. ”

"So, you also know that Zhao Yan'er is your own biological daughter, and every year during the Qingming Festival, you will come over to burn paper money for the child's mother."

Zhao Laogua nodded when he heard this, and after a while, he replied: "Mr. Yang, since you have already guessed, there is no need for my Laogua to hide it." Twenty years ago, after having my Yan'er, although I said that the child was picked up by me from the mountain, but my daughter-in-law just didn't believe it, saying that the child looked like me, and said that it must be a bastard born of me and the head of the village slut. ”

"Originally, I thought about it and passed slowly, but who knows, one night I had a quarrel with my daughter-in-law, and the next morning, she hanged herself, and when I got up in the morning, she hung on the beam of my house. After my daughter-in-law died, I heard someone crying in the house every night, and I always saw my daughter-in-law sticking out her tongue and rolling her eyes, and her face was covered with blood, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to sleep at that time. ”

"At that time, I happened to hear from my neighbor that there was a capable person from Yangjiazhuang, so I went over and invited him home, that is, Mr. Yang Changsheng. The old gentleman said that it was not a big deal, so he made a talisman and pasted it in my house, and then asked me to paint the door with a layer of red paint, and add a package of things he gave to the red paint, and the red powder should be cinnabar. I did so, and I've been fine ever since, no, almost twenty years have passed peacefully, and the night before yesterday, something happened. ”

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I went out in the middle of the night to go to the thatched house, and saw a person in the courtyard, and when I looked closely, I was still wearing a shroud, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to pee, and I went back covered with a quilt. Guess what, when I woke up in the morning, I felt something next to me, and I saw my wife lying next to me, still wearing the shroud she had lost at that time. "Zhao Laogua's face changed color when he said this, I'm afraid this is the reason why he ran out of Dalishu Village in the middle of the night and went to Yangjiazhuang to find my grandfather.

"And where is your wife now?" Daddy then asked.

"That's it...... It's in the back room of my house...... Alas...... Actually, I wanted to tell you last night, but I don't know what to say about it, and I'm not worried that you won't be able to sleep well last night! Mr. Yang, you said, is my wife really alive? Zhao Laogua asked with an ugly face.

"It's hard to say this now, let's go, let's go back and see!" Dad gave me a look, and then followed Zhao Laogua in the direction of the village.

However, when I arrived near Zhao Laogua's house, I found that there were some people gathered at the door of Zhao Laogua's house, and even some villagers went over to join in the fun, so I took a look at it and immediately ran away in a hurry.
