Chapter Seventy-Six: The Su Family
After a short walk along the mountain road, you will see a large village nestled in the valley with many houses. I originally thought that such a lofty mountain would be a small village at best, but I didn't expect so many people to live there.
At this time, I saw that the old Uncle Liu was a few steps behind, and came over to me and Qingzi and said, "The two of you will rest in our village." Speaking of this, he smiled heartily and said, "The people in the village don't have much knowledge, so don't tell what happened before." ”
Naturally, I understood this and immediately nodded in response.
Following a few people into the village, it was already close to evening, the sky was a little gloomy, and every house was already full of smoke. There were no people on the road, and after walking for a while, I came to a house with black tiles and blue bricks. I saw the three of them carrying the corpse inside, and after a while, I saw Uncle Liu coming out with his glasses and saying to me and Qingzi: "Old Zhou still has something to deal with, let's go over first." ”
At this time, I learned that the third uncle of the glasses was surnamed Zhou, and this was probably his residence.
The glasses put down the corpse, and his face finally improved, but he kept scratching behind him, and beckoned: "Brother Benefactor, and this ...... Well, let's go to my house first. ”
As he spoke, his face turned red again, and he led the way in a panic. Old Uncle Liu laughed and said, "This kid is still so frizzy." ”
I smiled and walked with Uncle Liu with Qingzi. When he walked for a short time, he bumped into two villagers who were in a hurry, and when he saw the glasses, he called Uncle Chen and Uncle Li. The two were stunned for a moment, and then one of them shouted, "It's Su Qin who is back!" Later, when they saw Uncle Liu, the two immediately rushed up and shouted, "Lao Liu, you're back!" What about Zhou Lao? ”
Uncle Liu said: "Old Zhou just arrived home, what happened?" ”
The two hurriedly said: "Oh, you go to Sanqiao's house to have a look, let's go to Zhou Lao first!" As he spoke, he rushed over.
Uncle Liu immediately said: "Su Qin, you take your friend home first, and I'll take a look." ”
The glasses said in surprise: "What's wrong with Brother San Qiao?" ”
I saw it in my eyes, so I said it would be better to go and see it together. Old Uncle Liu was in a hurry, so he didn't say anything, and immediately rushed towards the three Qiao's house, and a few of us followed.
Halfway through, I bumped into another person, and when I saw Uncle Liu, I hurriedly shouted: "Old Liu, where are you going?" ”
Uncle Liu said that he would go to Sanqiao's house. The man grabbed him and shouted, "Hurry up and follow me to the ancestral hall first!" I couldn't help but say, pull him and leave.
I looked at it a little strangely behind me, and a few people followed all the way to the southeast, and soon arrived at the ancestral hall in the village. The glasses followed Uncle Liu, and they had already entered.
I took a look and saw that it was full of people, and knew that Aoko didn't like to squeeze into this place, so I said, "You can rest for a while." ”
Aoko said "yes" and sat down at a stone table next to her.
I followed into the ancestral hall, as soon as I entered the door, I heard a rather familiar voice coming: "This is the water thunder tun hexagram, the hexagram name is 'chaotic silk without head', as the so-called wind blows chaotic silk without a head, upside down and sorrowful." Bad! Big murderer! ”
When I squeezed into the crowd, I saw several benches on the ground, planks erected, and four corpses lying on them, covered with shrouds. One of them stood beside him, with his back to this side, his fingers pinching, and he was the one who had just spoken.
It's this guy who pretends to be a ghost again.
I didn't say anything, just hid in the crowd and watched coldly. I saw that the fortune teller shook his head and said: "This hexagram is headless, which shows that this matter is very complicated, inextricably linked, and must not be rushed." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone say, "Master Zhu, what can you see?" ”
I took a look, and saw that the man who spoke was a young man in his early twenties, not very tall, with a shrewd look in his eyes, and dressed very differently from the mountain people here.
The fortune teller pinched his fingers, pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, it must not be rushed, and it must not be rushed." ”
At this time, I saw the glasses squeezed out of the crowd, walked forward, said hello to the two old people, and called "grandpa" and "second grandpa".
When I turned my eyes, I saw that the two old men were dressed in navy blue robes, and although their hair was gray, their faces were ruddy, and their bearings were very different from those of others. I couldn't help but take a few more looks, and I could see that these two old men were not ordinary people, and they had the aura of cultivators.
One of them, a tall old man, the "grandfather" in the mouth of the glasses, stood there with his hands behind his back, without even looking at him. It was the second grandfather who nodded with a smile and said, "You're back." ”
I heard the grandfather say coldly: "What are you doing here!" Don't see anyone busy? ”
The glasses shuddered and retreated. At this time, Uncle Liu also came up to greet the two of them, and called "big old lady" and "second old lady", with a respectful expression, it seems that these two old men have a lot of prestige in the village.
Seeing that it was Uncle Liu, the old lady changed his previous cold face, said a few words to Uncle Liu with a pleasant face, and asked if Old Zhou had come back.
Uncle Liu answered them one by one, and asked what happened.
The second old lady sighed and said, "Come and see." ”
Old Uncle Liu nodded, stepped forward, nodded to the fortune teller, and went to lift the shroud of one of the corpses. When this was opened, a burst of screams and exclamations immediately sounded in the crowd, and some of the less daring ones had already fled with their faces covered.
The corpse lying on the board, at first glance, resembles a strange spider, which is described as terrifying. If you look closely, you can see that the person's head, hands and feet are turned over, with his back behind him, and his body arched, which is especially strange and gloomy.
Even people like Uncle Liu, who often helped the third uncle drive away the corpse, turned pale. He went to lift the other two shrouds, two of whom were dead in the same manner as the one before.
I stared at the three corpses, and was pondering in my heart, when I saw Uncle Liu lift the fourth shroud. This one opened, and the crowd exclaimed again. This corpse was completely different from the previous three, all blackened and shrunk into a ball.
Old Uncle Liu looked carefully for a while, frowned, and said, "He was burned to death by fire." ”
The second old lady said, "Can you see anything?" ”
Old Uncle Liu shook his head: "It's too burning, it's hard to identify, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for Zhou Lao to come." ”
The second old lady nodded and said, "It can only be like this." ”
Old Uncle Liu frowned and said suspiciously, "Who are these people?" He pointed to the three corpses that looked like "big spiders".
When I heard that, I realized that these three people were not locals. I heard the second old lady say: "I don't know." When Zhou Lao comes, let's talk about it again. ”
Old Uncle Liu nodded and went to check on the corpses again. The fortune teller also gathered aside, pointing at the corpse, but it was all nonsense.
I saw the strange deaths of these people, and I felt quite strange in my heart, and I was pondering, when I heard one of them say, "Cousin, why did you come back alone?" ”
It was the shrewd young man who spoke, smiling and hugging beside his glasses. I heard the glasses call at him, "Cousin"
"I ...... I'm ...... this" muttered a few words, but didn't say anything.
The cousin smiled and said, "What's the matter, cousin, you are talking." ”
The glasses were stunned for a long time before they forced a laugh and said, "You...... You know, I ...... I don't know anyone......"
The cousin said, "That's not right." The two grandfathers summoned us back this time, and clearly said that our Su family was in big trouble, and asked all the children and grandchildren of our Su family to find their own ways to invite capable masters to help. You see, this Master Zhu is what I have worked so hard to invite back. Cousin, who did you invite back? ”
The glasses were speechless.
The cousin sneered, "You don't look like this, do you?" ”
This man was a little younger than his glasses, but he spoke unscrupulously, and obviously did not take his cousin seriously at all.
"This ...... This ......," the glasses snorted a few times, and said, "I...... I really can't help it......" the voice became more and more thin.
The cousin laughed, shook his head, and sighed, "Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you." Anyway, our Su family doesn't count on you. ”
I saw that the spirit of the two old men was obviously not an ordinary old man, and I heard him say that "the Su family is in big trouble", and I thought that this matter is a bit of a coincidence, could it be that the old witch came here and had something to do with the Su family?
