My eyes widened, and I could see through the hazy moonlight that the mask in my father's hand was what my grandfather had taken out of the white coffin that day, and said that it was a treasure left to me by the ancestors.

It's just that this thing wasn't kept by my grandfather all the time, how could it get into my dad's hands?

"What is this?" My mom asked puzzled as she looked at the strange mask in front of her.

My dad shook his head and said, "I don't know, that's why I wanted to find out, I always feel that this thing is very important!" ”

"And where did you get that?" My mom said.

My dad smiled slyly, looked around and whispered, "Stealing from the old man's house." ”

"Okay, while the old man hasn't come back, I'm leaving. In my absence, you have to protect the doll and be careful. My dad told my mom a little bit, picked up a bag next to him and went out of the yard.

He glanced back at me as he left, just in front of me who was looking up and peeping, I hurriedly shrunk my neck and lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep, my dad smiled, didn't speak, and turned away.

I quickly fell asleep again, and when I woke up, it was the next morning.

My mom got me some food, and when I was done with my stomach problems, I saw my grandfather stepping into the yard with a tired face. He is the patriarch of the Chen family, and if there was such a big incident last night, he naturally had to come forward to deal with it, and he would also arrange things like pacifying the clansmen and taking care of the injured.

It's just that when I grew up and recalled this incident, I was very puzzled by what my grandfather did, since he could tell me in advance that the earth dragon would turn over, then he should have known about it a long time ago, but he didn't inform the clan to take precautions, which is very unreasonable for a patriarch.

Unless, grandpa has no calculations?

As soon as Grandpa came back, he entered the house, and soon there was a sound of rummaging through the cabinets in his room, and after a while, he came out with a gloomy face and said to my mother, "Where is Han Tao?" ”

My mother was taken aback and said, "Han Tao said that he went to Chengdu." ”

Grandpa's face instantly became ugly, and he asked sharply, "He took my things away?" ”

My mother lowered her head, a little afraid to look at my grandfather.

"Damn, this white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!" My grandfather turned pale, slammed the door and walked out.

……

Although the earthquake seemed to shake violently, in fact, the magnitude was not high, and the power caused was not great, and the mud houses of several families in the village were destroyed, and more than 10 people were injured, but not a single one died. This earthquake is more of a psychological fear for the people of Tsing Yi Village, who have never experienced such a disaster.

In the days after the earthquake, the county leaders came to our small village to offer condolences and guide the work, accompanied by a few bespectacled earthquake experts, according to them, this earthquake is less than four magnitude, there is no destructive force, only because the epicenter of the earthquake is in the back of our village, so we will feel so violent here.

But the villagers don't take advantage of the experts, they stubbornly believe that this earthquake is the punishment of the snake god for their demolition of the temple, after all, there has been no accident for hundreds of years, and once the temple is demolished, it will be a dead man and an earthquake. The frightened and frightened villagers found my grandfather and said that they would take back the back mountain, drive the tea merchant away, and rebuild the temple for Snake Jun.

In those days, my grandfather's heart was on fire, and he scolded the villagers who came to him to talk to him, and in the end, the matter was over, but there was an undercurrent surging in Tsing Yi Village.

It wasn't until a few days later that an extremely strange thing happened again on the day Zhao Lao Wu married his daughter in the village, and the figure of "their" appeared in front of me for the first time, letting me know how strange the things hidden in this world are.

I remember that day, I got up from bed early and walked to Zhao Laowu's house with Ermao of the neighbor's family.

What we little kids are looking forward to most is to pester the bride and groom who come to pick them up, make trouble for them, and then they will give us candy to eat, you know, in those days, a fruit candy can make us children happy for a long time.

We went early, and we stood at the door of Zhao Laowu's house and waited for the groom to come to pick up the relatives. I don't know how long I waited, but there was finally a roar of cars in the direction of the village.

Soon, a Santana with the word "Xi" and colorful stripes stopped at the door of Zhao Laowu's house. Ermao and I drooled and looked at this little car, our eyes were full of envy, in the nineties of the twentieth century, the last Santana that could be driven was simply a sign of a rich man, but I later learned that this Santana was actually the young man who came with the groom, he was a friend of the groom.

Two young men in suits and leather shoes got out of the car, and a man with glasses with a big red flower on his chest in front of him was probably the groom, and my mother said that the groom was from Chengdu, working in a unit in our county, and his family was quite rich.

Ermao and I hurriedly stepped forward and shouted "congratulations", only to make the groom grin happily, and took out a handful of white rabbit toffee from his suit pocket to us, almost laughing my teeth out.

The relatives of the Zhao family hurriedly welcomed the groom and others in, and left me and Ermao to divide the spoils outside. After a while, we were ready to go in and take our seats, but before we could enter the courtyard gate, we heard a commotion from inside, and the cries of women and the scolding of men shook the trees at the door.

Ermao and I were very curious, and hurriedly slipped in, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhao Lao Wu blushing and scolding at his daughter, that is, the bride Zhao Xiaoyan, the groom stood awkwardly next to him, his face flushed, and there was a circle of relatives of the Zhao family and people in the village who watched the excitement.

There is a lively look!

I put a white rabbit toffee in my mouth, pulled Ermao and squeezed it into the crowd.

"You dog's thing, you have the ability to tell Lao Tzu again!"

As soon as we came over, we heard Zhao Lao Wu roar, almost didn't make me laugh, and there was also laughter around him, Zhao Lao Wu scolded his daughter like this, isn't it equivalent to scolding himself for being a dog, and scolding people doesn't bring this.

"Just say it! I won't marry him like this, I have a man, and the man I want to marry is a fairy! Zhao Xiaoyan scolded her father, squinted at the groom standing next to her, and her eyes were full of disdain.

There was an uproar all of a sudden, this Zhao family's daughter wouldn't be crazy, she actually said such absurd things in broad daylight.

Zhao Lao Wu was so angry that he trembled, but before he could speak, the groom on the side stopped doing it, and he roared angrily: "Zhao Xiaoyan, what are you going to do with a crazy woman?" If it weren't for the matchmaker who kept saying hello, you thought Lao Tzu would look down on you?! I am a cadre in a unit, with an income of eight or nine hundred yuan a month, and I am also a first-class status in the county. ”

"Brother Zong Han, don't be like this." The young man who came with the bridegroom hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Zhao Lao Wu was also dumbfounded, he tried his best to let his daughter climb the high branch of the groom, seeing that the groom was angry, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the son-in-law and son-in-law.

"Hmph, Wang Zonghan, you have in your head, no matter how rich you are, you are just a mortal, an ordinary man!" Zhao Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at the groom, and then said to herself in a manner: "I, Zhao Xiaoyan, want to marry a fairy on the mountain, he is so handsome, and gentle and good to me, he can also turn stones into gold and live forever." We are the matchmaker made by Fairy Hu, and I really love him with him! ”

Zhao Xiaoyan raised her left hand as she spoke, she scooped up the wedding dress, pointed to her wrist and said, "You see, this is the baby that my man gave me, he said that as long as I carry it, I can have a face forever and never get sick." ”

The people around are all stupid, where is the treasure on Zhao Xiaoyan's left wrist, it is obviously a green snake ring, to put it bluntly, it is a ring formed by a small snake biting its tail with its head, and the snake ring on Zhao Xiaoyan's hand is a highly poisonous bamboo leaf green, a pair of emerald green scale armor, a pair of small eyes and looking at everyone coldly, which scared me to shiver.

"My man said he was going to marry me, and he wanted to live forever with me! Giggles! Zhao Xiaoyan let out an oozing laugh, she gently stroked the bamboo leaf green in her hand, with an obsessive look on her face.

Zhao Xiaoyan's mother was so frightened that she cried out immediately, and the people around her also hurriedly retreated, for fear that the bamboo leaf green would come out and bite it.

Zhao Lao Wu's face was pale, and he trembled: "Crazy, this woman is crazy!"

"In my opinion, my sister-in-law is not crazy, she is evil and has been entangled by things!" The young man who had come with the bridegroom stood up and spoke.

"Xu Wenze, you mean that Zhao Xiaoyan was ghosted?" The groom Wang Zonghan also reacted and hurriedly spoke.

The young man Xu Wenze touched his nose and said, "I don't know if I was haunted by ghosts, but there must be a problem, my sister-in-law was not like this before." ”

Zhao Xiaoyan's mother heard Xu Wenze's words on the side, and hurriedly begged: "Then what should I do, young man, please save my daughter!" I'll give you as much money as you want. ”

Xu Wenze saw that everyone was looking at him, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't say that, I think it's better to find a gentleman to have a look, I remember that there is a real Taoist person in the county recently, it is said that he came from Mount Emei, and the Taoism is profound, so it is better to invite him to try, maybe he can cure his sister-in-law." ”

Zhao Lao Wu next to him listened to it for a long time, as if he suddenly understood something, his face changed greatly, and he cried: "I know, it must be the Snake Monarch Temple that was demolished a few days ago!" Li Dao Scar, a bastard of dog days, demolished the temple and made the snake god angry, even if he died, he would drag down my daughter, and he would be the first to do it! There is also Chen Youcai, an old thing who kills a thousand knives, and demolishing the temple is also something he nodded, ahhhh ”

When I heard Zhao Lao Wu scolding my grandfather, I immediately became angry, and I just wanted to stand up and argue a few words, but as soon as I left, someone grabbed my shoulder, and I couldn't move. I turned my head and saw that it was my mother, who shook her head at me.

At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door:

"Zhao Lao Wu, are you scolding me?"
