17. Clues
I was a little inexplicably shocked by Mr. Zou's words, and I couldn't see what it meant, was it because he was incapable or did the situation in our family have indeed reached a point that people can't imagine?
So at this time, I was a little inexplicably worried, and Mr. Zou asked these craftsmen to seal the coffin and put it back into the pit first, as for the tomb to be rebuilt today, it is impossible to rebuild the grave today, so I can only be sloppy for the time being, and then choose a day to rebuild the grave.
Because this matter is extraordinary, Mr. Zou did not dare to be careless, he loaded some soil from the grave back, as for the peachwood sword of the tomb, not only did he not take it back, but also filled it with some charms to ensure that there were no other accidents on the grave.
After returning home, everyone's expressions were a little solemn. My grandmother and my mother didn't go to the grave together because they were women, and when they came back, they all looked serious, and they didn't understand what was going on, and my dad didn't dare to say it all at once, for fear of scaring them, but dared to say that the problem was indeed on the uncle's grave, as for what the problem was, he only said that it was a little evil, and this was also what Mr. Zou meant, he meant not to talk about the family house at home, in case of trouble.
Mr. Zou did not dare to bring the dirt back to the house, after all, it was something stained on the graveyard, and he put it far away from the door, and just in case, he used talisman paper to calm it.
I didn't worry about my family when I didn't know about it before, but now I know that there is such a thing at home, and I start to worry about the situation at home, especially when I know that there is such a python entrenched in the house, who knows when it will suddenly appear.
After Mr. Zou came back, he secretly looked at the house, but he still couldn't see anything from his expression, he told my dad that he still couldn't see anything, and then he himself began to wonder if he was not skilled, otherwise such a thing could not be seen, I asked him if it would be fine at home, we deduced wrong, but he refused and said absolutely impossible, there is definitely a problem in my family, the reason why I can't see it, is that it is too hidden, or ......
He seemed to remember something suddenly when he said this, and then he looked at me in a daze, he didn't stare at me once or twice, but this time he stared at me very strangely. And I felt like he was calculating something in his eyes, which made me have some bad premonitions, and then I heard him suddenly say, "Maybe it's because of you." ”
I didn't understand what it meant, so I looked at him. My dad couldn't understand it, so he asked Mr. Zou, "What does this have to do with wood?" ”
Mr. Zou didn't seem to have fully figured it out, he just said, "When I think about it, this doesn't seem so unusual." ”
Then he asked my father, "Are there any people in your family who have disappeared for no reason?" ”
My dad pondered for a moment and said, "Don't tell me that there really is." My fourth uncle just slept in the middle of the night and disappeared, and I haven't found it until now, as the saying goes, if you live to see people and die, you have to see corpses, but my fourth uncle seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and he disappeared alive. ”
Mr. Zou's purpose for asking this was already obvious, and I said, "Mr. Zou, do you suspect that my fourth grandfather was eaten by the python at home?" ”
Mr. Zou looked at me and said, "This python has been entrenched in your house, and if you want to eat people, your family will have no living mouth for a long time, the reason why I asked." It is suspected that the person who disappeared from your house must have found the traces of the python and was killed, or was eaten by the python, or was ......"
Mr. Zou didn't say anything about it here, so I asked, "Or what?" ”
Mr. Zou asked: "Have you ever thought about why there are these strange things in your family, including that Yongning was attacked by a python for no reason at that time, which seemed to be an accident, but there are many irrational things, I listened to your description." How did the python look like it had been led there on purpose. ”
Mr. Zou kept staring at my dad when he said this, and I seemed to hear the subtext in his words, he had something to say, but he said it very tactfully. I almost asked my dad directly, but my dad didn't seem to understand, so I opened my mouth and instructed my dad and said, "Mr. Zou is saying that maybe my uncle provoked someone to cause such a murder?" ”
Mr. Zou nodded and said to my dad, "What the wood said is what I want to say." ”
My dad said: "It seems unlikely that you will provoke any enemy, and the enemy you said will always be like this, I have never heard Yongning talk about this, but he was out for a few years a year before his accident, could it be that he provoked something during that time?" ”
Mr. Zou asked, "Where did he go?" ”
My dad said: "At that time, he was bored at home, so he went out to beg for a living, at that time he insisted on going, and the place where he went was not far away, so we didn't stop him, he went for about four or five years, there was news, but people never came back, and they didn't tell us what to do, just said that they did some odd jobs to barely fill their stomachs, and they couldn't save any money, we persuaded him several times and said that he would come back if he couldn't earn money, but he didn't listen, and then once my mother asked tightly, and he came back." ”
Mr. Zou also heard something unusual, and he asked, "Have you never gone to him?" ”
My dad said, "We wanted to go to him, but he wouldn't let us go or give him his exact address, and then it was gone." ”
Mr. Zou said: "There is a lot of problem here, and the interest is what he did at this time to provoke something. ”
Then Mr. Zou asked my father, "I also asked your mother a question, and I also want to ask you, why did your brother not get married until he was in his thirties, and why?" ”
My dad said, "Didn't my mother mention it to you, he was married once when he was 20 years old, but after a year of marriage, his daughter-in-law disappeared when she went to the field, as if she didn't want to continue, and she was afraid that my family would not let go, so she went to the field to cut the grass and ran away, and then we went to her mother's house to ask, but her mother's family said that she never came back." ”
Mr. Zou listened and said, "Just now I asked you if there was anyone in your family who disappeared, why didn't you mention her?" ”
My dad said: "She didn't disappear, and later contacted Yongning once, saying that she had gone to another place, and contacting Yongning was to let him know that she was gone, so I didn't treat her as a disappeared person." ”
Mr. Zou asked, "Do you know why she left?" ”
My dad said, "Who knows, Yongning never mentions it, I figured out that it should be a quarrel between the two of them, so I couldn't get angry and left." ”
Mr. Zou didn't say anything else, but I obviously didn't look at him like my dad did. He then walked around my yard again, as if pondering a problem, and I kept watching him and followed him in the yard. When he noticed that I was following him, he asked me how to learn how to walk with him.
I can't say why, but I always feel a little weird after listening to what my dad said, as if the truth of the matter is not as simple as my dad said.
Mr. Zou said that if things were so simple, so many things would not have happened, and after saying that, he looked at the courtyard of my house, and then looked at me again and said, "Tomorrow you and I will go to the grave of the gentleman who helped you to see feng shui earlier, do you want to go?" ”
I didn't care what he was calling me to go with me, so I agreed, "Go." ”
Mr. Zou said yes when he saw me. So he asked me, "Why don't you ask me why I called you to go with me?" ”
I replied, "You must have discovered something, maybe Mr. Bai's death has something to do with me, and I have known that these things have always been related to me since I came to my senses." I guess it's impossible to escape. ”
When Mr. Zou heard me say this, he asked me, "How much do you remember about your uncle?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't remember anything, I was very young when he died, and I don't remember what my dad said." ”
Then Mr. Zou said: "You should have been four years old when your uncle was away, I remember that Huaxiu came to your house when you were two years old, and she was five years older than you, right?" ”
When I heard Mr. Zou suddenly mention Huaxiu, I looked at him suspiciously and said, "Yes." ”
