When I returned to the house, He Daochang asked about the situation over there, and I briefly explained the matter. Then, I asked in a low voice if my father had gone out?

He said no, my dad was busy preparing things for the New Year all day, and he had been chopping firewood after lunch.

Actually, I was a little skeptical when I saw that look, but I soon felt impossible. Because he is no one else, he is my father, according to Shen Yue, that person is targeting me, nine times out of ten he wants to harm me, how can my father harm me?

It's absolutely impossible, he's my dad and I shouldn't have doubted him anyway.

After nightfall, crackling firecrackers rang out in the village, and the family sat together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Unlike in previous years, grandpa's place was vacant, but my grandma still set dishes and chopsticks for my grandpa, and served a bowl of hot dumplings, grandma is a strong woman, she will not cry in front of people, but at this time, she looked at the hot dumplings without moving, but her eyes were moist.

And I was wondering if Grandpa would come back at some point, as my dad said, Grandpa's departure was just a place, and one day he would come back.

That night, my grandmother put the bowl of dumplings outside the gate, and I asked my grandmother what it meant, and my grandmother told me that it was a dumpling made for my grandfather, and that my grandfather would not be able to eat dumplings.

However, our family is better, and Zhu Danian's family must not be able to pass this year, thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad.

Lying in bed at night, I kept thinking about the daytime.

But after thinking about it, I don't know who it is, I lived in a room with Shen Yue, and the two chatted for a while at night. Shen Yue probably also saw my suspicion of my father, and he said to me: "Xiaofan, your father does hide something from us, but I don't think he should be that person!" ”

I know what Shen Yue means by this, he is trying to make me relax, in fact, I can also understand, Dad is a kind person, if it weren't for so many things happening in Yangjiazhuang, he would definitely be just an ordinary farmer now, or a very honest one.

After that, I fell asleep, and I don't know how long I slept this night.

When I opened my eyes in a daze, I felt very sleepy, and Shen Yue next to me was nowhere to be seen. I thought he was already out of bed, but it was only then that I noticed that it wasn't yet dawn outside.

It's not dawn yet, what is Shen Yue doing here?

I wrapped myself in the quilt and went to the window to look out, but it was still snowing, and I didn't see any footprints in the snow in the courtyard. This is strange, Shen Yue was still next to him before going to bed, where did he go now?

I put my clothes on, opened the door and looked outside, and there were no footprints. Could it be that before I fell asleep, Shen Yue had already gone out, and the footprints were gone by this time?

I glanced towards the gate, and saw that it was hidden and unbolted. My heart moved, Shen Yue shouldn't go out alone, right?

There was no movement in the rest of the room.

I took two steps towards the door, and the snow creaked under my feet, but before I reached the gate, I seemed to hear something else in the middle of the footsteps.

Could it be that Shen Yue is outside?

I quietly opened the door and looked outside, but found nothing. However, I also noticed that the bowl of dumplings that my grandmother had placed at the door was gone.

Seeing this, I looked around the gate again, and the marks left by the bowl of dumplings on the snow were still there, but there were no footprints around.

Could it be that grandpa's soul came back and took away the dumplings?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a shadow in the snow in front of me. The shadow was not small, it swayed towards this side, I held my breath when I saw this, and I didn't realize until the thing was a little closer, it was a cow, the old cow.

I've seen the old scalper of Cheng Laowu's family, isn't this the old scalper of his family who has committed suicide?

They have already committed suicide, why are they still here?

At this moment, the old ox let out a cow cry, and the voice sounded very resentful, not at all like the sound of a living creature. I thought almost instantly, the old scalper of Cheng Laowu's family is indeed dead, so what I see now is definitely not a living old scalper, it must be a cow ghost.

The old ox kept walking in this direction, and every few steps he would raise his head and make a few cow calls.

At night, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back when I heard this cow barking.

After the old scalper walked this way for a while, he lay down directly. It lay down, or barked at me, did the old scalper want me to pass?

Without any hesitation, I walked to the side, and said in my heart, what the hell is this old scalper going to do? When I got closer, I realized that the old scalper didn't seem to have any ill intentions, at least the eyes looked clear. At the same time, I don't know if it's an illusion or not, I even saw the old scalper staring at it with a hint of fear in his eyes.

However, even so, the old ox was still lying there, he did not move, and after a while, it even pointed very anthropomorphically at the back of the cow behind it with its head, which meant that I should go up?

When I saw the old scalper, I would think of Zhu Danian's matter, so I didn't hesitate and jumped directly onto the old scalper's back.

Sure enough, after going up, the old scalper stood up, and the old scalper really wanted to carry me somewhere?

I sat firmly on the back of the ox and followed the old ox on its own. The old ox stepped on the snow, and its feet would even slip, and the old ox kept walking towards the west of the village.

After arriving at the west end of the village, the old ox began to walk towards the back mountain, and the place he went to was still the abandoned peach orchard in the back mountain. The only thing I can think of in this place is the cemetery before the old scalper, the cemetery has been moved, what is the old scalper taking me there to do?

The old scalper couldn't speak, but he carried me all the way, and the direction he went to was indeed that place.

I could see a few large poplar trees in the distance, and I noticed that there seemed to be light over there. It's a little far away, but when I get closer, I realize that it's not an illusion when I saw the light just now, there is indeed light over there.

The light is the light of a flashlight, and I was a little surprised that there were still people in the middle of the night. In the next second, I thought of a person, it was Shen Yue.

The matter of the old scalper in our village is even catching up with the shadow caused by the old locust tree to everyone, and the villagers don't dare to approach this place in the middle of the night, even if it is most of the day. In this way, it is not the villagers of Yangjiazhuang who came here at all, Shen Yue came out, who else could he be?

However, the old scalper was not afraid to alarm the man, and walked straight to that side.

When I got closer, I noticed that a large hole had been dug in the ground over there. A flashlight was placed on the edge of the grave, and the pit below had been dug up.

The old scalper came closer, and he stopped, and I looked over there, and I saw a man. I could see that the man was digging a pit, but now at night, although there was a reflection of the snow, it was still not enough to see the face of the person, and I could only see a vague figure, and I couldn't tell who the person was.

I kept turning the dirt outside, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but I felt that the soil was blood-red.

I wanted to get down from the cow's back and go closer to see if the man was Shen Yue, and if so, ask him what he was doing and why he came to dig a grave in the middle of the night. However, when he was about to jump, the old scalper screamed, and the bull ran away, which was different from the slow and leisurely state just now, this time the old scalper ran very fast.

I ran until I stopped at the gate of my house, and the old scalper lay down again, and I saw a man standing at the gate of my house, and he was standing with his back to me, which was a familiar back, the back of my father. However, now it should be Shen Yue's back, if this is him, who is on the other side of the cemetery?

Also, why is he standing with his back to me?
