I also specially instructed Fang Kedong to stay in the soul storage bag in the future, and not to talk casually, so as not to be discovered and scare others.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I saw Zhang Ke's parents waiting anxiously there.

As soon as Zhang Ke's mother saw me, she hurriedly greeted me, and said in a loud voice: "Bodhisattva bless, I finally came back safely." ”

Zhang Ke's father also greeted me, his eyes quickly patrolled over me, and when he saw that there was no urn on me, his nervous expression suddenly relaxed, but he still asked: "Lin Han, how did you leave the urn in the mass grave?"

I didn't answer him directly, but said vaguely: "Don't worry, uncle, I have already disposed of the urn, and I promise that there will be no problems." ”

"That's good, that's good. Zhang Ke's father said repeatedly, and his expression was completely relaxed.

Zhang Ke's mother was still careful, and when she saw that I was very embarrassed, there was still mud on my body, and the flashlight was gone, she asked with concern: "Lin Han, did you fall?"

I pretended to be relaxed and smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, the mountain road is a little slippery, and I fell, but it's okay, I didn't get hurt." It's just that the flashlight has rolled down the mountain, and Grandma Zhang's big red rooster has also run away, so I can't pay you back. ”

At this, I was ashamed.

When Zhang Ke's mother listened to me, she looked me up and down carefully, and saw that I was indeed not injured, so she was relieved, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Look at you child, isn't it just a flashlight and a chicken and it's not worth a few dollars, if you lose it, you will lose it, fortunately you are fine, this is more important than anything else." ”

I followed Zhang Ke's parents back to their house, and by this time, the rooster had already crowed for the third time, and the sky was much brighter. However, it is now a slack and the farmer has no work, so he wakes up late and the village is still quiet.

When we came to the hall, Zhang Ke's spiritual seat was still there, and Zhang Ke in the portrait still had that slightly restrained expression, looking at me with a slight squint, as if he had something to say to me.

I knew that this was just my mental effect, but I still felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I secretly said in my heart: "Zhang Ke, don't worry, I will definitely find your body." ”

Zhang Ke's mother walked to Zhang Ke's spiritual seat, trembling hands and stroking Zhang Ke's remains, this poor woman could no longer shed tears, she choked up and said: "Son, where are you now, my mother is really worried about you, why don't you come back to see your mother?"

Zhang Ke's father also stood aside and was silently sad.

I couldn't bear it, so I said to them: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry too much, I think Zhang Ke should be fine, it's just because his body is not here, so his ghost hasn't come back to visit you." Just because you don't see his ghost doesn't mean there's something wrong with your ghost. Didn't Grandma Zhang say that after death, the ghost will eventually be separated from the body, so even if his body is stolen by a ghost, it does not mean that Zhang Ke's ghost has also been stolen by that ghost. ”

I know that I don't even believe in these words, but at this time, I really don't know what else to say to comfort Zhang Ke's parents.

However, Zhang Ke's parents seemed to believe my words, because Grandma Zhang did say such a thing, and the ghost and the body would be separated. Although I now know that Grandma Zhang is just a half-goddess, but after years of accumulation of prestige, she still has an unusual sacred status in the minds of Zhang Ke's parents, and they don't really believe in Grandma Zhang's "self-humility" words. They always believed that Grandma Zhang was a god, and what she said must be true.

Zhang Ke's mother said: "We also know that what Grandma Zhang said is true, but we have never received accurate news from Ke'er, and we are still unsure. We still want to find the Yin Man to go to the underworld to check and see if our Ke'er is okay there. ”

Zhang Ke's father said in embarrassment: "But, where do we go to find the Yin Walker, even Grandma Zhang doesn't know, how can we find the Yin Walker?"

Zhang Ke's mother was also in trouble, and said sadly: "Yes, what should we do?"

I had to comfort them and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I'll help you inquire after I go back, there are many people in the city, and the amount of information is relatively large, maybe I can find out where there are yin walkers." ”

When Zhang Ke's parents heard me say this, they immediately became happy, looked at me gratefully, and said together, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

I didn't want everyone to be immersed in the atmosphere of worry about Zhang Ke all the time, anyway, it was going to be dawn, and it was impossible to sleep, so in order to change the topic, I asked them: "Uncle and aunt, do you know what is going on with that mass grave, and how do you know where there is a mass grave and what its origin is?"

Because I agreed to Liu Xiaoqian's request, although I don't know how to help her, but understanding the mass grave is a must. Moreover, after all, Zhang Ke's parents have lived here for many years, and Zhang Ke's father told me the road there, so I think they must know something about mass graves, so they asked.

Zhang Ke's father was silent for a while, in a trance sorting out his distant memories, and I didn't disturb him, but waited patiently, waiting for him to give me some clues.

After a long while, Zhang Ke's father said slowly: "Everyone in our village knows about that mass grave, but they don't know how it came from, I only remember that when I was very young, I heard a Taoist priest say that it used to be a killing field, and the bandits on the mountain kidnapped people from large families and asked their families to ransom people with a large amount of ransom. Because the bandits' asking price is too high, some people can't afford it. There are also those who give up ransom because the person kidnapped by the bandits is not the most important person in his family, and those evil bandits kill the hostages there.

"In addition, it is said that before the liberation, we passed through several warlords here, and at that time, many warlords were no different from bandits, burning, killing, looting, and raping people's wives and daughters along the way. They also killed innocent villagers there. Over time, it became two frightening mass graves, also called mass graves. ”

Zhang Ke's father won't say it here, I know that his knowledge is limited, because he said it at the beginning, he heard others say it when he was a child.

I have also heard a lot about such places and such things, even in the urban area of Chongqing, and the Hongyan Village of the Dregs Cave is a very famous killing ground, where the Kuomintang reactionaries used to kill many people. It has now become a red attraction for people to remember the martyrs.

But I still didn't give up, and asked again: "Uncle, have you heard of strange things happening in that mass grave over the years?"
