The cow can be cloudy, even if there is a strange thing in this village, I don't dare to get close to the cowpen, this night a few people will be around the cowpen for a night, the next day I heard the sound of chickens in the village, a few of us opened our eyes, the sky has been bright.

Although I slept comfortably this night, but the humidity outside at night was heavy, and when I got up in the morning, my clothes were wet, and my throat was so sore that I couldn't do it, I thought it was a cold, Yuan Shouyi was used to this kind of life, looked at me and smiled and said, "This is the life of people like us, although they are happy, but they also have no fixed place, and now fortunately, there are people living everywhere, put it a few decades ago, sometimes it was deserted for two or three days, and it could only live in the mountains and wilderness, and when I slept at night, I might be dragged away by the mandrill monsters." ”

I let out a few sharp breaths, my nose was stuffed uncomfortably, and I was cold and hungry, which was very uncomfortable.

Yuan Shouyi said again, "Go find something to eat." ”

As soon as I heard that there was food, I immediately came to the spirit, followed him to the village and wandered around, saying that he was looking for food, but in fact he was going to eat, all in this era, there may be begging people in the city, but there are almost no begging people in the countryside, rural people are more industrious, as long as they work a little, they can't starve themselves.

Yuan Shouyi took us around the village, and these villagers were not afraid during the day, but they were surprised why the four of us begged for food, and they didn't want to ask too much, and besides, they didn't know us well, so they asked six families one after another, and all of them rejected us because they didn't cook well.

After walking six houses to no avail, Yuan Shouyi said again, "Taoism has a saying of 'seven true fate', one meal can only be transformed into seven, if these seven families refuse, it means that God will not let you eat this meal, you have to wait for the next meal." ”

Huang Yunqiu also nodded, obviously she also knew this rule.

I listened to the voice, "There is only one left, and if we can't melt, will we have to go hungry?" ”

Yuan Shou smiled and nodded his head, but at this time, he heard the sound of firecrackers from the other side of the village, as well as the sound of gongs and drums. Then he led us to the place where the firecrackers sounded.

I also understood what he wanted to do, rural weddings and funerals will have a large feast, generally people who participate in this kind of banquet have to pay money, but if we go, no one knows whether we pay the money or not, eat on the table, although it is indecent, but the most important thing is to fill the stomach.

Huang Yunqiu and Chen Yingying are not suitable for such occasions, most of the funerals are presided over by duangong or shenhan, in case you meet someone with a little real ability, you must see through them, and it will cause unnecessary trouble.

The two of them left the village very consciously, saying that they were waiting for us outside the village, and Yuan Shou and I went to the door of the funeral house, thinking that the guests would come, but when they got there, they only saw a few gongs and drums and a few children wearing linen and filial piety, as well as a few old people sitting next to the coffin and crying, and there was no banquet at all.

I was stunned and said, "How can no one come to the funeral when someone dies?" Could it be that the family is afraid that the gift money will not be returned, so they will not arrange a funeral? ”

Yuan Shouyi looked inside and shook his head and said, "If the funeral is not arranged, the mourning hall will not be set up, and the gong and drum team will not be invited, it may be that the funeral is arranged, but no one dares to participate, remember last night, I heard the dog outside barking that everyone had turned off the lights, it seems that this village is indeed abnormal, go over and take a look, no matter what, this meal has to be eaten." ”

Yuan Shouyi said and took me to the door of the mourning hall, a few old people crying next to the coffin saw outsiders, raised their heads and looked at them, their faces were suspicious, they didn't know us, and the old man who was about seventy a year stood up and walked up to us and asked us, "Who are you?" ”

Yuan Shouyi glanced at the photo in front of the coffin, and saw that there were only a few children with Dai Xiao, these old people did not wear filial piety, and immediately learned the identity of the deceased, who should be the son of the old man and the father of those children.

Yuan Shouyi, "We are here to incense the dead." ”

Generally speaking, incense to the deceased will definitely not be refused, after all, it can add popularity to the deceased, and the popularity is high, and it will not be bullied by others when it comes down, but the old man shook his head and said sadly, "Forget it, no one dares to come to the incense, thank you for your kindness, the incense will be exempted, so as not to make you also get into trouble." ”

Sure enough, something was strange, Yuan Shouyi asked carefully, "What happened?" Why can't it be incensed? ”

Only then did the old man tell the story.

The deceased is his son, originally worked in an engineering team in the field, a few days ago the engineering team opened the gate and released the water of a weir pond, and after the water in the weir pond was gone, the people of the engineering team found a grave in the weir pond, the age of the grave looks very old, and the tomb is still well preserved after soaking in the water, indicating that the owner of the tomb must have been a rich and noble person during his lifetime, otherwise it would be impossible to build such a good tomb.

The people in the production team wanted to make a fortune from the dead, so they dug up the grave, there was a tomb under the tomb, and the door of the tomb was written with the words 'there is no return', and only three people had the courage to go down to the tomb, including the deceased in the mourning hall, they entered the tomb not long ago, but they came from nowhere to send a big water, and they drowned in the tomb, and they were sent back yesterday.

When they were sent back, they found a bronze mirror on the body of the deceased, and there were many people who came to the funeral at that time, and they picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it, but suddenly a person appeared in the bronze mirror, not the face of the bronze mirror, but the face of another stranger, and the face of the person in the bronze mirror opened his mouth and said, "Who dares to dig my grave?" ”

Because of this sentence, the people attending the funeral were scared away, and the old man invited a gong and drum corps to send off the deceased, preparing to wait until the auspicious day to bury him.

After listening to this, I remembered what Li Jue said before, his grave is in a place called 'Qinglongyan' in Hubei, and the deceased happened to dig the grave in a weir pond before the accident, my heart said that it would not be such a coincidence, we just came to Hubei and met.

I asked next to me, "Are they digging a place called 'Qinglong Weir'?" ”

The old man was stunned and nodded in surprise, "Yes, yes, how do you know?" ”

Knowing that it was Qinglongyan, Yuan Shou hurriedly said, "Can you let us take a look at the bronze mirror?" ”

The old man said with a sad face, "Unfortunately, yesterday Duangong said that there was an evil spirit living in the bronze mirror, so we threw it into the pit and couldn't find it." ”

If the copper mirror is thrown into the pit, it is indeed difficult to pick it up, but Yuan Shouyi insisted on finding the bronze mirror, and said, "You must find the copper mirror, where is your thatched toilet?" I'll go find it. ”

The old man hesitated and pointed to the side, Yuan Shouyi immediately turned around and went to the latrine, and the old man of the mourning hall also went with him, Yuan Shouyi arrived next to the latrine, and scooped it in it with the dung scoop next to him for a long time, before finally scooping up the bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror was wrapped in rags, and it smelled when it was fished up, and we all pinched our noses, but Yuan Shouyi directly reached out to lift the rags, took out the copper mirror inside, and took the copper mirror to look at it. ”

The old man saw Yuan Shou scoop up the bronze mirror, and when he saw a human face talking in the bronze mirror, he was shocked, "Hurry up and throw it back, there is evil in this mirror, don't let him out." ”

Yuan Shouyi looked back at the old man, smiled and said, "This is not an evil spirit, this is a Taoist spell, called the 'Yuanguang Technique', which can be used to calculate and find objects, and can also be used to scare thieves." ”

The old man looked at us again and said, "Who are you?" Didn't you come to settle accounts with me? My son is dead, and the disaster will not affect my family, so I must hold up my noble hand. ”

Yuan Shouyi, "We are not here to settle accounts, to be honest with you, the grave dug by your son is actually the grave of my ancestor, but my ancestor only saves people and does not kill people, even if your son digs that grave, he will not be drowned in the tomb, I think the grave is weird, I have some questions I want to ask your son." ”

The old man still had an apology on his face when he heard the previous words, but when he heard Yuan Shouyi say that he wanted to ask his son some questions, he became angry, "My son is dead, do you still want to toss him?" ”
