"Grandma, we are really lost, otherwise we wouldn't have bothered your second elder and Brother Da Niu, tonight, I and the Lord ...... Brother Fan is afraid that he is going to disturb your family. ”

"Hey, how can it, you can come to our house, that's the blessing of our family, Grandpa had asthma a few years ago, took the medicine you prescribed, and never coughed again, and we haven't repaid you yet." The old woman's face was enthusiastic, and after looking at Chen Fan, she suddenly became embarrassed, "...... That one...... The big cow is not angry, and in the past few years, he has patronized and messed around, and half of the house has collapsed, and there is only a firewood house...... You can still live in people, you just got married not long ago, right...... I'm so embarrassed. ”

Peach Blossom's cheeks were crimson, but Chen Fan said indifferently: "Grandma, it doesn't matter, I'm also from the countryside, when I was a child, I often slept in the temple." ”

"You kid...... Good...... Alas, I'm going to pick it up for you. ”

The old woman looked at Chen Fan's eyes more and more kindly, the lord was not hospitable, and the family was too old and poor.

Old man Liu smoked a stewed cigarette, obviously this kind of shabby hospitality made him a little embarrassed.

"Alas...... My cowardly baby, three cents will also be sent to another family. Old man Liu sighed with emotion, remembering Chen Fan's words just now, "Young man, you really came from the back mountain?"

"Yes. After Chen Fan answered, he saw that Old Man Liu's expression was a little surprised, "Uncle...... Is there anything strange in this mountain?"

"It's weird!!It's a forbidden area!" Old man Liu patted the stool, looking a little excited, "You are really fateful, the mountain behind is a place of ghosts, birds can't fly, people can't enter, before, every year there were people in the village who didn't believe it, wanted to go in and break in, never came out." ”

"Then we're lucky. ”

Peach Blossom glanced at Chen Fan sweetly, this journey is indeed very dangerous, if there is no Chen Fan, she is not sure that she will be able to get out.

"Girl, guy, don't go into the mountain in the future," Old Man Liu took another puff of cigarette, and then showed a mysterious look, "According to my grandfather, this mountain was not like this before, and later it was said that there was an Orion who entered the mountain and killed the pet crow raised by the witch god, and the witch god was angry and sent the witch out of the mountain to harm the world, and now it is a fog all year round, and many people in our village have moved out." ”

"It's scary. ”

Chen Fan echoed, but he didn't think so, the gods and ghosts said, but because most people didn't understand the essence, although along the way, he noticed that the forest still revealed strangeness, and even traces of formations, but that kind of sulfur miasma, accidentally intruded, immortal is strange.

"Therefore, every year the village has to invite ghost hunters to search for it. ”

When Old Man Liu said this, his face was bitter, obviously there was something unspeakable, and he took a few puffs of cigarettes.

The room fell silent for a short time, except for the faint sound of charcoal in the brazier!

A gong sounded from far and near, and the cigarette butt in Old Man Liu's hand fell into the charcoal brazier.

"I can't live this day. ”

When Chen Fan was weird, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and Liu Daniu ran into the house with a bundle of dry firewood, and spat out, "Daddy, here, here, here again, what can I do, my money is kept for Xiaocui to buy medicine." ”

"What should I do? cold salad, carry me out to beg for rain, your grandma's dowry has been sold, these bamboo strips have not been exchanged for money, it is really a sin, reincarnation owes Meng Po money, how did you become a person, and you simply don't let people live." ”

Liu Da Niu's mother held a quilt in her hand, and hurriedly walked in, her face was anxious, and the wrinkles on her forehead were very deep, "His father, Da Niu, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and prepare for money." ”

"Money, money, money, where does the money come from, search three times a month, I think they are the biggest nuo (nuo, meaning ghost)!" Old man Liu stomped his feet angrily.

Grandma patted the old man on the shoulder.

"There are guests here, what are you kicking around, Ah Niu, didn't you just sell some dry medicine a few days ago, take out the money and pack it, and send away those plague gods, Grandma owes you. ”

The eldest lady Weng pinched Liu Da Niu's shoulder with her hand, and looked at Chen Fan and Taohua, the meaning was obvious, there were guests, this kind of shy thing in the bag was a kind of family ugliness.

"Grandma...... The money is for Xiao Cui. Seeing the second old man looking at him with blank eyes, Liu Da Niu turned around and went into the house, picked up a few holes in the wall, and when he came out, he had a few more crumpled coins in his hand.

Outside, the gongs grew louder and louder, and the drums shook the dogs.

"Why is there only that?" Old man Liu's face turned pale, "Did you steal food for Xiaocui again?"

"Abba, that's it. ”

Liu Daniu's burly and sturdy body seemed to be a lot shorter at this time, and he sat on a small stool, inexplicably sad.

"Grandma, I have money here. ”

Peach Blossom took out a wad of money at this time and handed it to the aunt's rough hand.

"Girl, what's going on? we can't ask for this money!" Weng Shi hurriedly pushed with his hand.

Old man Liu turned over the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the charcoal brazier with a shy, and his face fell into the ashes on the ground.

Seeing that his mother and Peach Blossom were pushing and shoving repeatedly, Liu Da Niu grabbed the money, "Peach Blossom Girl, this money, I borrowed it from Liu Da Niu, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will pay you back, Peach Blossom Girl, Brother Chen, you should hide quickly, the search will come soon, in case of any trouble." ”

"That's it, big cow, take them to the back mountain to hide. Old man Liu looked out the window, thought about it, and picked up some sweet potatoes and potatoes that were almost ripe, and put them in the bamboo basket next to him.

It looks like a bandit is coming.

Chen Fan saw what happened just now, and there was some speculation in his heart, but he was not very sure, but seeing that the family of three was so anxious that he couldn't do it, he followed Liu Da Niu out of the door and walked to the back of the thatched house, a big stone behind the thatched house, which was a good place to hide.

However, this kind of thing that did nothing wrong made Chen Fan speechless for a while, "Peach Blossom, what's going on?"

"Sou, don't you know?"

Liu Da Niu's eyes widened with copper bells, and the earth dog he raised followed him with his tail wagging.

"I know, it's just a ghost hunt, as for stealing chickens and dogs like this? Also, what are you going to do with so much money?" Chen Fan was talking, the sound of gongs and drums had already entered the village, and the local dogs in the village barked more and more wildly.

"Alas. Liu Da Niu smashed his fist on the cold stone, looking angry, "Don't you know, these people who search for people, which is to catch ghosts, but to change their ways to make money, they are just bandits with masks, enter a door, you need a red envelope of 12, out of a door, you also need a red envelope of 12, now, the whole house of the stockade, is about to become a greenhouse, dare not have a door." ”

"Does no one care?" Chen Fan was speechless for a while.

The peach blossom next to him answered: "Master, the whole deep mountain, sparsely populated, some people, have never been out of the mountain in their lives, who cares? And the custom of searching for the Buddha has been passed down for thousands of years, I don't know why, the nature has changed in recent years, making the people living in the deep mountains miserable." ”

"Hey, those people who search for the house, are all dogs raised by Grandma Wushan, who doesn't pay the money, who will be unlucky, the last month, the little six in the village did not pay the money, the next day, the house is full of poisonous centipedes, was stung to death at the door, too miserable. ”
