The old scalper gave me the wisdom bone is just a small episode in this funeral, and then I can keep a vigil for my grandfather with peace of mind, because I have three more fires, so I can stay in the mourning hall again.

The burial needs to choose an auspicious day, the most feared after the death in the countryside is that the auspicious day cycle is too long, there was an old man in the village who died in the summer, and the auspicious day has to wait until more than ten days later, the rural people pay attention to these, if the old man is buried on a day that is not suitable for burial, it is not good for future generations. So the family was stunned to guard the old man's spirit for more than ten days, but the coffin was not well sealed in the hot weather, and the corpse water flowed down the coffin after a few days, and the whole mourning hall was full of corpse smell, and even the old man's descendants were unwilling to stay in the mourning hall.

Fortunately, the auspicious day of the grandfather's burial is not far away, only three days from the grandfather's death, has been keeping the spirit for three days, the third morning in the village carried the grandfather's coffin and the corpse of the old ox up the mountain, next to dig two pits, one to bury the grandfather, one to bury the old cattle.

Because I was a descendant of my grandfather, and the old scalper was kind to me, I kowtowed in the graveyard all morning, and I didn't return to the house until noon.

It's strange to say, since the death of the grandfather, the village has been quiet, no one comes to my house to make trouble, the land lord does not come to my house anymore, everything seems to have returned to calm, even the grandfather sighed that it has finally stopped.

Because there was nothing to do at home, Liu Cheng went back to the tomb during the day, and only came to my house at night, and he didn't come to find out who was hurting us behind his back, but chatted with his grandfather and talked nonsense, the two of them seemed to have endless words, and a chat was all night, and I also memorized the eight magic spells in those few days, but Liu Cheng gave me a thin book, called "Taishang Induction Chapter", saying that I had to memorize this to learn his skills, so I could only stay up and memorize it.

Until the seventh day after the death of the grandfather, there is a saying in the countryside that the first seven souls return to the soul, the first seven days after the death of the old man, the descendants have to stay at home, the old man will come back to see and leave, if you can't see the descendants, you will never forget, unwilling to go down to report, so as to become a wandering ghost.

There is no one in the grandfather's house, so I can only go to the grandfather's house by my father and mother to stay at the grandfather's house for one night, and I, Liu Cheng, and grandpa stay at home, while my grandfather entered the house, I asked Liu Cheng why he didn't track down who wanted to harm us these days, Liu Cheng only replied, "The time has not come, I have to wait until your grandfather takes the initiative to confess, I can continue to investigate, otherwise it will be in vain." ”

Indeed, grandpa does things very strangely, first of all, it is not normal for him to be able to attract thunder and thunder to bring himself back from below, where is this something that a farmer can do?

In addition, there is the matter of the mountain god seal and the orphan girl and widow, grandpa doesn't tell us anything, if grandpa deliberately conceals it, no matter how smart Liu Cheng is, he can't get to the bottom of it, I probably understand why Liu Cheng has been chatting with grandpa, I guess he just wants to knock on the side and find out something.

I asked again, "When will Grandpa confess?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled deeply, "Soon, now the matter is still under your grandfather's control, so he is unwilling to explain it to us, since he is for that female doll, now even Old Man Li knows that the female doll is very likely to be Chen Yingying, so the person your grandfather guarded against is also very likely to know Chen Yingying." ”

I didn't quite understand and asked, "Why did Old Man Li know, and the man behind the scenes knew?" ”

Liu Cheng was annoyed by my successive questions, glanced at me, rubbed his forehead again, and said, "The old scalper has given you the wisdom bones, why are you still so stupid?" Think about it, if it wasn't for the old man Li who asked for shoes from the female mountain god before, then who was most likely to go to him to ask for shoes? ”

I really thought about it for a while before I reacted, "The guy Grandpa guarded against." ”

Liu Cheng nodded at this time, "That's right, so it's very likely that Old Man Li has told the person who asked him for shoes what he saw at the beginning, since his purpose is the female doll, once he knows that the female doll is Chen Yingying, what do you think he will do?" ”

I shook my head.

Liu Cheng simply knocked me on the head directly, he is not a living person, this knock still made a bang, I covered my head in pain and looked at Liu Cheng with a face full of grievances, Liu Cheng sighed and said, "Then he naturally went to find Chen Yingying, and once Chen Yingying had an accident, things will come to the point that your grandfather can't control, and then your grandfather can only ask me for help, and if you want me to help, you can only tell the matter and the plate." ”

Then I understood, and suddenly I said, "I see." Then he asked, "But Chen Yingying didn't come to us, how do we know when Chen Yingying will have an accident?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled slightly, "Chen Yingying usually lives in the mountain temple, although the mountain temple has been replaced, but it is also the territory below, ordinary people dare not go to the mountain temple to make trouble, so if that person wants to attack Chen Yingying, he can only start with Chen Yingying's corpse first, and if he wants to move Chen Yingying's corpse, he has to attack you first." ”

"Why did you attack me first?" I thought to myself that this matter had nothing to do with me in the first place, so why did you have to do it to me? Isn't Chen Yingying's body hanging on the tree in the grave ground, whoever wants to move it can move it, and it is estimated that it will become rotten meat at this time.

Liu Cheng said, "The lonely yin is not long, the only yang is not born, now you are Chen Yingying's man, you have to wear a pair of pants with Chen Yingying, her corpse also belongs to you, with your protection, those people want to burn Chen Yingying's corpse may be simple, but if you want to do something to Chen Yingying's corpse, you must first dispose of you, that shoe smashing a fire on your head is just the beginning, wait, your grandfather's old scalper has rekindled your fire, he will definitely have new hands and feet, this time I don't care, You're going to have to push your grandfather to the ground. ”

I nodded in relief, but I felt extremely unfair, why? I'm innocent!

Liu Cheng also saw that my face was full of grievances, looked at it and smiled, "How good it is to have a daughter-in-law like Chen Yingying, beautiful as a flower, and gentle as water, others can't ask for it, you should be happy." ”

To tell the truth, Chen Yingying is indeed the best-looking person I have ever seen, and her personality is also the best, rural people are introverted and beautiful, Chen Yingying is already good-looking, coupled with her weak temperament, so many people come to the door to propose marriage to Chen Yingying, and they are not worried that she will be unclear with her grandfather.

But I didn't understand this at the time, Liu Cheng said that I should be happy, then I should be happy, and only nodded and sighed.

Liu Cheng said that he wanted to push his grandfather to a dead end, and he really did what he said, and after his grandfather came out of the side house, Liu Cheng stood up and said to his grandfather, "Old man, I haven't slept once in the past few days, even if it's a ghost, I can't stay up, it's just that your family is fine these days, I'm going to go back and rest for a while, do you think?" ”

Grandpa is not an unreasonable person, Liu Cheng really didn't even sleep a peaceful sleep when he came to my house, and my family didn't give Liu Cheng any benefits, grandpa naturally didn't want to ask for more, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then Master Liu will come in the future?" ”

Yoo Seung said, "If you can't solve it, I'll come." ”

Grandpa laughed and said, "I'm just a farmer, where can I solve anything, I have to rely on Master Liu." If Master Liu is tired, let's go and rest for a while, this time has worked hard for you. ”

The family has been safe and quiet these days, probably because Liu Cheng is here, that person doesn't dare to come blindly, once Liu Cheng is gone, that person will definitely show up and do something.

Liu Cheng then left my house, my grandfather and I went to see Liu Cheng, and when we got to the door, Liu Cheng glanced at me and turned to leave.

After Liu Cheng left, the grandfather sat in the room with a sad face and smoked a stuffy cigarette, sighing and saying, "Master Liu is gone, I'm afraid something big will happen now." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "He's in the graveyard, and he'll be back at any time." ”

Grandpa shook his head, "You are still young, you don't understand, what I'm afraid of is that someone is going to attack you and your father, there is Master Liu, those people want to fix us and we have to see Master Liu's face, now that Master Liu is not here, there is no protection." Grandpa said and remembered his father and mother who went to grandpa's house, as if he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stood up, "You stay at home, I'll call your father and mother back, otherwise I won't worry." ”
