If it weren't for the fact that the motorcycle ran out of gas on the way, then Ma Jialiang and I would have died.

Ma Jialiang was also frightened when he heard this, his face turned faintly pale, and he said to me: "Brother Chun, fortunately I got up late today, your car is out of gas, otherwise we will all have to finish playing." ”

The middle-aged pilgrim saw our frightened look and asked, "Do you know that young man?" ”

I didn't speak, I instinctively wanted to deny it, but Ma Jia's mouth was quick and said, "We made an appointment with him to meet here, and I was late for something." ”

When the middle-aged pilgrim heard this, he was surprised and said, "Then you should really go to the temple to burn pillar incense and thank the mountain god for his blessing." ”

I wondered if it was an accident or something else mixed in.

First Wang Qiang died, he had a relationship with the Hong family, and now Gao Xiaolong is also dead, and he also has a relationship with the Hong family, he is the only son of the culprit Gao Mingchang.

I instinctively recalled what Hong Qingsheng's wife Hai Meirong said before committing suicide: The Hong family is the last resort!

An irrepressible terrifying thought rose in my heart, after Gao Mingchang let the Hong family die, could it be that Hai Meirong became a ghost and let Gao Mingchang also die?

One report and one report?

After her death, she became a ghost, and now she has her revenge?

If so, then the bloody face I saw in the ancient well of the Hong family on the night of Hai Meirong's suicide was Hai Meirong?

I was thinking in a panic when Ma Jialiang suddenly pointed to the people who were busy at the scene and said to me: "Brother Chun, look, Director Yang and they are also there." ”

I looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, Yang Jianguo was also here, it should be the team he led, and when we looked at him, he also happened to find me and walked over.

"Uncle Yang." My face froze, but I tried to smile and say hello and spread a cigarette to him.

"Koharu, why are you two here?" Yang Jianguo was very surprised, and seemed to see that we were not lightly frightened, so he asked again: "Why is your face so bad?" ”

I didn't answer, but asked directly: "It's Gao Xiaolong who died?" ”

Yang Jianguo was slightly stunned, glanced at me and Ma Jialiang suspiciously, and nodded: "Yes, it's Gao Xiaolong." ”

Ma Jialiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Director Yang, we and Gao Xiaolong have an appointment to meet here, we are late for something, I didn't expect to ...... just here" He couldn't go on as he spoke.

Yang Jianguo understood what Ma Jialiang meant, his face couldn't help but change, and he muttered for a while before saying, "This accident is very weird. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the location of the restaurant and explained: "The location of the restaurant is not on the side of the road, but on a slope on the side of the road, and the truck that caused the accident is still following a bend on the road, if the speed is too slow, the car full of wood will not be able to rush to that slope at all, if the speed is too fast, then when the turn is too high, it will be thrown out because the center of gravity is too high." ”

I took a cursory look and found that as he said, the restaurant was on the side of the road, but it was not flat, but on a high slope, and under the high slope was a concrete road.

The truck that caused the accident was full of wood, heavy weight, high center of gravity, and it couldn't turn the previous turn when it was fast, and it couldn't reach the slope when it was slow.

Unless, it was the truck driver who stepped on the gas pedal after crossing the bay and deliberately caused the accident.

"Is it murder?" I couldn't help but think in my heart, so I tentatively asked Yang Jianguo: "Could it be, isn't it an accident?" ”

"If it's intentional homicide, the motive is insufficient." Yang Jianguo frowned and shook his head, explaining: "The truck driver who caused the accident is a foreigner, and he came to our town to pull wood for the first time, and he didn't know the deceased Gao Xiaolong at all. ”

After listening to this, I was even more suspenseful, it was an accident that shouldn't have happened but it happened, is it really revenge?

But if that's the case, why is it today, shouldn't it be the day of Hai Meirong's first seven soul nights?

Perhaps, the target of that murderer is not only Gao Xiaolong, but also me?

I shuddered, and the more I thought about it, the more likely it became.

Because only today can I be with Gao Xiaolong, if its target value is Gao Xiaolong, then it can be done on the night of the first seven soul nights, why wait until today? Hatred is like a hundred claws scratching the heart, but you can't wait for a moment, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, it's because of insufficient strength.

Why did it kill me, where did I provoke the Hong family? Isn't it Hai Meirong's unjust soul, there is something else?

Questions popped up in my mind, and then intertwined into a mess.

At this time, Ma Jialiang asked Yang Jianguo tremblingly: "Gao Xiaolong, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Jianguo took a puff of cigarette, shook his head and said, "It's completely gone, the truck blew up the gas cylinder and caught fire." ”

Ma Jialiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and didn't dare to ask any further.

Yang Jianguo went to get busy after smoking, Wang Qiang just died yesterday, and now Gao Xiaolong is also dead, the Quartet is restless, and he is under a lot of pressure.

"Brother Chun, let's go to incense, maybe there is really a mountain god bless us." Ma Jialiang told me that he was really frightened, and few people can understand the fear of death after this kind of brushing shoulders with death.

I nodded, although I haven't seen what a ghost looks like so far, but as the saying goes, it's better to believe in the things of gods and ghosts than to believe in them.

Ma Jialiang took the lead, and we followed another trail up Lao Mountain and climbed for half an hour to reach the Mountain Temple.

We didn't bring incense, so we spent money to buy some incense paper and oil candles from the old temple of the temple.

Ma Jialiang bowed first, burned incense and lit wax to pray for the blessing of the mountain god, and went out to burn paper when he was finished. I did the same, I put the incense into the incense altar after worshipping, but then there was an accident, and the three incense sticks in my hand suddenly disappeared, as if someone had poured water.

I wondered if the incense was damp, so I went to light the incense again, and then inserted it after lighting it, but the incense went out again.

I chuckled in my heart, and if I didn't give up, I simply took out three new sticks of incense and lit them again, but the result was still the same, as long as the incense was inserted into the incense altar, it would definitely be extinguished.

No matter how dull I was, I knew that something was wrong, and my heart was half cold, so I hurriedly knelt down and prayed for the blessing of the mountain god, and said a lot of good things.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind me: "It's not more than three, you go, don't disturb the mountain god." ”

I was startled, and when I turned around, I found that it was the old temple in the temple who didn't know when he came behind me, staring at me with shining eyes.

I don't know why that gaze made me feel weak, as if I had done something wrong.

"Uncle, why is the incense I burned extinguished?" I asked boldly.

The old temple said: "The gods extinguish the incense, the ghosts blow out the lamps, they are all bad signs, you go, the mountain gods don't like you." With that, he walked straight away, ignoring me.

I'm confused, the mountain god doesn't like me?

At this time, Ma Jialiang folded back the straw paper after burning it, and said, "Brother Chun is done, come out to burn the paper after worship." ”

I shook my head restlessly and said, "Forget it, you can help me burn it." ”

The mountain god doesn't even want my incense, so where can he ask for those paper money?

Ma Jialiang seemed to see my strangeness, so he asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." I shook my head with a smile and said, "Burn it, we'll go back when it's done." ”

Ma Jialiang was inexplicable, thinking that I was still frightened by Gao Xiaolong's incident, and comforted me a few words before running to burn the remaining straw paper.

When I went back, it was Ma Jialiang's car, and my mind was blank, sitting in the back of the tricycle, in a trance.

I understand that no matter how good a person is, there will always be people who don't like him. But God is different, doesn't God accept the incense of ten thousand homes?

Why don't you like me? What's wrong with me?

I thought about it for days after that.

Then he ran to ask the old man in the village, and asked what kind of person would not like to burn incense. But the old people can't say why, so they say that it's definitely not a good thing.

Perhaps, they have lived most of their lives and have never seen people whom God does not like.

A few days later, Ma Yong called me and said that Gao Xiaolong's death had been closed at the town police station, and that it would be treated as a traffic accident, and Gao Xiaolong's mother, Chai Jinhua, cried several times and fainted at the funeral scene.

Gao Xiaolong's death still caused some shock in the village, and many people in Hong Village said that it was retribution. After Gao Mingchang let the Hong family die, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and he himself was also dead.

I sighed, I knew that this was the case, why bother in the first place, Hong Qingsheng's family was ruined, and the Gao family didn't get anything good, so they ended up with a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

……

Half a month after Gao Xialong's death, the days have been peaceful, and the calf is really as the leather coat said, it seems to have healed, and it has not entered the village again, and the patrol in the village is slowly decreasing, and it stopped in the end.

On this day, I was assembling a computer in the store, and suddenly a police car whizzed past the door of the store, I was startled and hurried out, but I saw Yang Jianguo with four or five public security officers getting out of the car and running to the north of the village.

"Something happened again?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I hurried out.

After chasing for a while, I saw a lot of people gathered at an intersection in the north of the village, talking anxiously, and when they saw Yang Jianguo, they surrounded them, and after a while, a group of people took Yang Jianguo and they continued to walk north.

Ma Yong fell at the back, I hurriedly called him, Ma Yong stopped when he saw that it was me, and I hurriedly asked him what was going on.

Ma Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Uncle Jiu's dog brought back a human head from outside. ”

"Head?"

My scalp was numb, and it took me half a month to settle down, but something finally happened.

"yes, my face is rotten, and I don't know who it is." Ma Yong's face was not good-looking, and he said: "But it seems that it shouldn't be too long to be dead." ”

"Check it out."

Ma Yong and I hurriedly followed the team, turned a few corners and came to Uncle Jiu's house, and when we arrived, we found that Ma Jialiang was also there.

I squeezed into the crowd and found Uncle Nine sitting slumped in front of the house, clutching a bloody hoe in his hand, trembling all over, and scolding some dead beast or something.

Not far away, a white dog lay in a pool of blood, and next to it was a round thing, covered by a snakeskin bag, faintly emitting a foul smell.

Ma Jialiang also squeezed over and whispered to me: "Uncle Jiu found that the dog came back with a dead person's head, and without saying a word, he beat the dead beast to death with a hoe. ”

I nodded to show my understanding, the people in the village raise dogs to take care of the home, not pets, and it is common sense to dare to bring some hoodoo things home, and it is common sense to be killed.

At this time, Yang Jianguo spoke, walked up to Uncle Nine and said, "Old Uncle Jiu, can you get up and speak?" ”

"Oh, I'm old, I'm old, what kind of sin have I made." Uncle Nine cried with a sad face and scolded: "This mourning beast actually dares to take a dead man's head home, I have never encountered such an unfortunate thing in my life." ”

"Old Ninth Uncle, get up and speak." Yang Jianguo said, waved his hand to the public security under his command, and set up the ninth uncle together, and the others brought a rattan chair for him to sit on.

After that, Yang Jianguo walked to the dead dog, opened the corner of the snakeskin bag and checked it, his face suddenly became solemn, and then he asked Uncle Nine about the ins and outs.

Uncle Nine was a sensible person when he was fair, and he didn't scold anymore, so he said: "I was working in the field, and I saw this mourning beast holding something from a distance, and I ran over to see that it was a dead man's head, and I almost didn't die of anger, so I chased it, but I didn't expect this beast not only to stop, but also dared to run home, I was so angry that I killed it with a hoe." ”

Yang Jianguo nodded, and asked again: "Then where did this thing come from?" ”

Uncle Nine thought for a while and said, "I don't know where, looking at the direction that the beast is coming from, it should be the back mountain." ”

"Back Mountain." Yang Jianguo's brows furrowed slightly.

Hearing this, my heart jumped.

Hong Qingsheng's wife Hai Meirong's well-dressed mound is in the back mountain, this dead man's head should have anything to do with the Hong family, right?
