I felt a big web weaving over me, but no matter what the people behind me were trying to do, I had to find out the truth.

I have been with the old lady since I was a child, I understand his personality and style of life, the old lady is not a person who is afraid of death, nor is he a person who is afraid of things, I remember when he told me about the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, he said that the only perfect person in the story of the Three Kingdoms is Zhao Zilong, who has courage and responsibility. Men should be like him.

The hardships of life did not knock him down, he proved himself with the years, a person who is not afraid of death, a person who has the courage to admit his mistakes back then, will never choose to commit suicide for the so-called guilt.

And the reason why he explained to me last night must have been because he had a premonition.

I knocked on the door of Guo's blind man's house loudly, and it was no one else who opened the door, it was Guo Huaiyi.

Guo Huaiyi's face showed a slight smile and asked, "Brother Yang Hao almost demolished the gate of Mr. Guo's house, is there something urgent?" ”

I grabbed Guo Huaiyi's collar and said, "The old lady is dead, what did you tell him and what did you do?" ”

Guo Huaiyi's face also showed a slight difference when he heard the news of the old lady's death, he patted my hand and said: "I am deeply sorry for hearing the news of the old lady's death, but I just arrived in your village yesterday, and it happens that an old man in the village has passed away, so you rashly come to me to settle accounts, is it a little inappropriate?" ”

I loosened Guo Huaiyi's collar and said, "It's you who is inappropriate, you came to the village as an outsider and asked some questions that shouldn't be asked, what are your intentions?" ”

"What can I do, I just think what happened in the mountains back then was incredible, I heard Mr. Guo talk about it, and asked a few questions quickly, Brother Yang was also present at the time, do you think those few words can make an old man who has lived more than 100 years old say that it is gone?" Guo Huaiyi asked.

I said: "There are some histories that you should know without asking about the insight of your leader Guo, there is no need to uncover the scars of a victim to satisfy your own curiosity, you are too concerned about things that you shouldn't care about." ”

Guo Huaiyi said: "If this caused the death of the old lady, I feel deeply guilty, but I don't know what Brother Yang wants to do with me, call the police, or tie me, a foreigner, to the wind stake and burn it?" ”

"You'd better have nothing to do with the old lady's death, or I won't let you go." I pointed to Guo Huaiyi's nose and said.

Huzi pulled me towards the head of the village, and he said, "Even if we have a bad relationship with Guo Huaiyi like this, I am afraid it will be more difficult to investigate the cause of the old lady's death in the future." ”

"I have a way, I'll act tonight, as long as I get the little Zhou Tian compass from Blind Guo, I will definitely be able to find out the truth about the old lady's death."

"What to do?" Huzi asked.

I said: "The old lady is buried with a happy funeral, when the whole village of all ages and young will follow the coffin to the ancestral grave three miles east of the village, Guo Blind as the village's feng shui Mr. will inevitably be invited to find the burial site, when the time comes, we will follow the funeral procession to the past, Guo Blind never wears the yellow robe of Mr. Feng Shui's practice, and he can see it at a glance with or without a small Zhou Tian compass, but in my opinion, Guo Blind will not bring the compass on his body, because your grandfather is not an ordinary person, and the little Zhou Tian compass is a Taoist holy relic, Guo Blind must have to consider that Xiao Zhoutian's compass will be recognized by him. ”

"And what's next?" Huzi asked.

I said: "It's up to you next, the whole village has gone out to send the old lady, there is only one Guo Huaiyi left in the village, you have to take him to the ancestral grave, I will take the opportunity to go to Guo Blind's house to find the little Zhou Tian compass, this time I won't return it after I get it." ”

Huzi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then you must be careful, after what happened last time, Guo Blind must have taken certain precautions." ”

It was soon dark, the moon was bright, and I was wearing a white cloth filial piety hat sewn by the village aunts, and as the funeral procession walked behind, Huzi and I walked side by side. The mother walked in the middle of the funeral procession with a group of aunts, wearing white silk on her shoulders.

The old lady's funeral can be said to be the most grand one in the history of Mingyue Village, the whole village funeral, since the night began to walk around the village, the old lady's coffin was carried by eight big men with a red cloth strip of joy, the coffin put a black and white photo of him before his death.

At this time, if someone passes by and sees this scene, they must be frightened out of their hearts without being frightened crazy.

The person who was crying with the brazier was a professional mourner in the town's troupe, and the funeral procession was noisy, and sometimes there were children's cries, and I couldn't understand what he was shouting all the time, but he cried so loudly that it sounded like he was singing.

Although I hate this kind of funeral very much, and even think that it is disrespectful to the dead old man, but the old customs of human society that have lasted for thousands of years are not something that I can change if I want to.

Behind the mourners were followed by several old people in the village, who were also the descendants of the old lady, crying and crying all the way with a mourning stick in their hands. The mourning stick is made of willow branches, the two sides are neatly sharpened, and there is a circle of cut white paper around the stick, which has no specific effect, and the old custom that has been handed down since ancient times means that the filial son is crying and mourning, and he can't walk in grief, and he must hold a stick to continue walking.

When the coffin is buried, everyone's mourning stick must be thrown into the coffin pit, the willow tree has a strong growth ability, and the willow tree that has not rotted will take root and sprout out of the grave soil, which is why one or several willow trees can often be seen growing on the ancestral graves in the countryside.

After arriving at the ancestral tomb, Li Fugui and Captain Liu were already waiting outside the ancestral tomb with a group of villagers, both holding shovels for digging the soil.

Not far away, Guo Blind held a compass and was measuring the feng shui acupuncture points of the burial coffin, and after a while, Guo Blind set the excavation point with a willow stake, he walked to the villagers who were sending off the funeral, pointed to a few big men carrying the coffin and said: "The coffin can't fall to the ground, if you are tired, you can change people, and you can rest when they dig the grave and put the coffin inside, otherwise it will be unlucky." ”

"Guo Shenxian, what kind of feng shui treasure land are you looking for for the old lady?" A village woman asked.

Guo Blind said: "Baoquanyan, if the old lady has children and grandchildren, the family will show off talents." ”

"Yo, isn't that the same effect as the green smoke from our ancestral grave before?" The village woman said.

A group of people laughed, and another village woman said, "The smoke from your ancestral grave is not good, otherwise your son would not have come down to work before he entered high school." ”

"Your kids don't work outside! It's so annoying to talk. ”

Huzi and I stood at the back of the crowd and looked carefully at the compass in Guo Blind's hand, which was not a small Zhoutian compass wrapped in copper and jade, but just an ordinary feng shui measuring instrument.

"I'm going to pick up Guo Huaiyi now?" Huzi whispered in my ear.

I said, "It's still early, I guess we'll be busy until the second half of the night tonight, we'll move after a while, and everyone will be tired and won't notice us leaving." ”

The villagers sat on the grass and waited, and some of the children began to nap in the arms of their parents, and after a long time, a sudden shout came from the ancestral grave: "I really dug up the spring, this, what is this!" ”

When the villagers heard that something terrible had been dug up, they ran over to see what was going on, and Guo Blind motioned for the eight big men who carried the coffin to follow, and Huzi and I were also a little curious to run over to see what kind of magic method the so-called Baoquanyan was and what could be dug up.

I saw that under the boxy coffin pit, there was really bubbling out of the water, and in the water, there were two golden carp swimming back and forth.

The villagers all exclaimed, because of ancient rumors, there are often some strange phenomena in the feng shui burial ground, such as blood in the ground, digging out the Tai Sui, digging out the weasel grave, which is a bad sign, only digging out the carp is a symbol of good luck, and the two carp in the puddle are still golden, not to mention how rare this feng shui treasure cave is!

"I didn't expect that there are two golden dragons hidden under the eyes of Baoquan, if you bury your ancestor in it, your descendants will either be the emperor or the prime minister!" Someone said.

When everyone heard this, there was no one who didn't have red eyes, but the old lady had no queen, was it too wasteful to be buried in such a treasure cave?

Wang Laohan said: "I know that the old blind man is not a person who holds grudges, and he actually found such a feng shui treasure for the old lady!" ”

Everyone praised Guo Blind, when Guo Blind went to ask the old lady for help to intercede, several people of the older generation knew, so many years Guo Blind saw the old lady turn around and leave, never giving face. Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, the old lady would find such a feng shui treasure to give him a good night's sleep, regardless of his previous suspicions.

"It would be nice if Leader Guo could watch this magical scene here, and then he would have a better impression of our village." Huzi said suddenly.

"By the way, Leader Guo didn't come to our village to inspect the customs and customs." Wang Laohan said.

"Then I'll go back and call Leader Guo over to have a look." Guo Blind said.

"I'll take him, my house is the closest, and there is a motorcycle at home, I'll bring him to make it convenient, the people in the city are squeamish, so as not to get tired of the leader." Huzi volunteered.

After Huzi finished speaking, he walked to Mingyue Village, and Guo Blind stopped talking and stopped, and it was difficult to say anything.

Half an hour later, Guo Huaiyi was taken to the ancestral tomb by Huzi, Guo Huaiyi got out of the car, greeted everyone, and then looked at the two golden carp swimming around in the newly dug puddle, his face was very surprised, and he praised the outstanding people of Futuling.

Seeing that Guo Huaiyi was so happy, Guo Blind also showed a smile on his face.

The tiger in the crowd looked at me and blinked, Guo Blind didn't bring Xiao Zhoutian's compass, and Guo Huaiyi didn't bring it.

I quietly walked away from the crowd and faded into the darkness.
