The good and evil of the human heart are born with a thought, and the avenue of heaven and earth is known.

If there is no retribution for good and evil in the end, there will inevitably be hidden selfishness.

In ancient times, life was a hundred years old, and when did Hongchen toil it?

Rich and greedy only do not return, and the agency commission person is old.

Early the next morning, Mo Li got up early and walked in the direction of the tomb of the widow.

When he came to the grave of the widow Wang, Mo Li looked around a small mound and found that there was nothing unusual except for some graveyards. He squatted down again, stretched out the dry loess on the surface of the widow's grave, about two minutes deep, black soil appeared, Mo Li rubbed his fingertips, the touch was a little viscous, the sour smell was pungent and unpleasant.

"It seems that this corpse breeding ground has also been formed in a short period of time. Mo Li stood up, wiped the soil between his fingers, and a candle of sandalwood appeared in his hand. The movements of the hands change, the sandalwood is lit to the ground and faces the sky, and the incense spontaneously combusts without fire. The deceased was the greatest, Mo Li raised the incense and bowed to the tomb of the widow Wang, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb." ”

After speaking, Mo Li put the incense in front of the grave, stretched out his hand and poked out, a strong wind rose, the soil of the widow's tomb was like wind and sand, drifting everywhere with the wind, and gradually revealing a coffin, because the soil was very wet, the coffin had been buried in the ground for a long time, so the wood of the coffin had rotted, and a foul smell came to the face, some snakes, ants, maggots crawled out of the coffin, Mo Li's face showed a different color, and with a wave of his long sleeves, the coffin lid flew out of the pit, and three white bones were exposed in the coffin.

"Judging from the size and shape of the bones, it should be a family of three of the widows. Mo Li covered the coffin again, and after burying the soil, he stood in front of the grave and thought: "Judging from the current degree of decay of the corpse, it is very likely that the soul of the scholar will return to the underworld after taking revenge, and the widow Wang will also die after giving birth. So what happened to this village?"

"Strange, really weird. ”

Mo Li was puzzled, and rose up in the air to carefully look at the terrain of this village, and found that there was nothing special about it, it was surprisingly ordinary. It's really strange that Mo Li had to walk towards the village again, thinking about these things all the way. Walking on the way back to the widow's house, the people in the village were still full of vigilance, and when they saw Mo Li, they avoided it from afar, or hid in the corner and stared at Mo Li's departure.

Passing by a deserted house in this village, the door plaque almost fell, faintly revealing the word "hall", Mo thought that this should be the ancestral hall of this village. He reached out and pushed open the two broken doors.

With a "bang", a door fell to the ground in response, breaking into several pieces and splashing dust all over the ground. After the dust gradually settled, Mo Li stepped into the courtyard, the courtyard of this ancestral hall is not big, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and there is a room in the weeds, which must be the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors in the village. Mo Li picked up the weeds in front of him, walked into the house, and saw several rows of tablets on top of the incense table, covered with cobwebs. Mo Li stretched out his hand and wiped the dust on the incense case, thick and dusty, it was indeed a long time since anyone entered the ancestral hall. Some of the tables displayed in the room have long since lost their paint, and the wooden benches for the game have been bitten off by moths, in short, a dilapidated scene.

After pacing a few steps in the room, Mo Li always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any clues when he looked around, and in desperation, Mo Li shook his head and walked out of the ancestral hall and walked towards Widow Wang's house.

When she came to the widow's house, the old woman immediately greeted her and asked, "Immortal family, I don't know how to go to investigate, can I harvest?"

Mo Li walked to the table with the old woman and sat down, sighed and said, "Alas, there is no gain. ”

The old woman didn't seem surprised to see that Mo Li was helpless, she said: "Even the immortal family is helpless, it seems that our village is really cursed." ”

"Old lady, although I can't find a reason for it for a while, I'm sure it's not a curse. ”

"Immortal family, if it weren't for the curse, why would the men in our entire village die one after another, and not even a single male can be born?"

Just when Mo Li didn't know how to answer, he suddenly thought that the two children Widow Wang, Xibao and Xingxing had not been seen, so he asked: "Old lady, I don't know where the two children of Sister-in-law Wang, Xibao and Xingxing have gone, why haven't you seen them?"

"You say, they, they should go to the fields. Alas, there is not a single man in the family, I am old, my eyes are dizzy, and I can only count on Xiulian, a hard-working child. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Mo Li.

"Oh, Sister-in-law Wang went to the field, how could she bring the two children with her, the weather in the mountains is hot and cold, the children are still young, how can the body stand it? Mo Li noticed the old woman's subtle demeanor and remained silent.

"Who's to say it's not? I'm an old woman who feels sorry for my children, but how can the children be willing to accompany the old woman. No, Xiulian is going to do some farm work in the fields, and the children are clamoring to follow. The old lady paused, then raised her voice and said: "I don't know what Xiulian thinks about this child, the child is going, just let the child go, how will this child get it when he grows up." ”

Mo Li smiled and said, "Old lady, it's all the meat that fell from Xiulian's body, so she is naturally distressed." ”

"That's right. Xianjia, you are hungry, the old woman will go and cook for you. The old lady got up suddenly, and wanted to go out.

Mo Li hurriedly pulled the old lady to sit down, waved the armrest, and a few melons and fruits appeared on the table, Mo Li said: "Old lady, don't be so troublesome, don't you see this is just eating? This is what I brought down the mountain, and I don't know if it meets your taste, you will eat some when you are old." ”

The old lady looked at the fresh melons and fruits on the table and the fragrant hot food, and there was a bright light seriously, and her hand just stretched out and took it back, and saw Mo Li looking at herself with a smile, with an embarrassing smile on her face.

"I didn't expect that immortals could really turn stones into gold, and with a wave of their hands, such a large table could appear to eat. ”

Mo Li smiled and said, "Old lady, why don't you eat it?" "Finished. Mo Li took out a large piece of meat from the plate and handed it to the old lady. The old lady was in trembling hands, and Mo Li handed over the meat, with an excited expression on her face, seeing that Mo Li was still smiling, she no longer had any scruples, and opened her mouth to bite it.

Seeing the old lady biting the meat with a satisfied face and chewing it heavily, Mo Li was taken aback, although these meats are cooked food, at the old lady's age, the teeth should not be so sharp, and even young people can't do it to this extent, after all, these meat foods are still meat with tendons.

Mo Li still had a smile like a spring breeze, picked up an unknown fruit on the table, took a small bite and chewed it, and stared at the old lady's expression on the side. I saw that the old lady was eating meat faster and faster, a little like she was swallowing dates, and some strange sounds were made in her mouth from time to time, ignoring Mo Li's existence at all, and soon the meat in front of her had been almost eaten by her.

Mo Li was very surprised, even an old man, no matter how good her appetite was, she couldn't eat so much meat, especially her expression, which looked like a fierce beast. He remained silent, a drop of blood popped out of his hand and landed on a piece of meat, the old lady didn't seem to notice Mo Li's subtle movements, reached out and grabbed the bloody piece of meat, and sent it to his mouth, the old lady's nose suddenly moved twice, and a strange expression appeared on her face, and then it was fleeting, replaced by an excitement, a desire, a crazy color.

Mo Li carefully observed the old lady's abnormal behavior, at this time, the old lady who was holding the meat actually stuffed the meat into her mouth, the whole mouth was stuffed a few times, the old lady made the kind of anxious strange sound in her throat that wanted to swallow the meat but couldn't swallow it, Mo Li stood up and said, "Oh, old lady, you eat slowly, there is." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to take out the piece of meat from the old lady's mouth. When the old lady saw that Mo Li was about to take the meat from her mouth, her whole face became extremely hideous, her eyes showed a green gaze, and she stared at Mo Li with a fierce face.

Mo Li was not annoyed, after sitting down, while eating melons and fruits, he watched the old lady wipe out the meat on the table one by one. The old lady had a full burp, and her hands like dead bark involuntarily touched her round belly, and then the expression on her face eased, her green gaze disappeared, and she returned to her usual appearance, looked at the table and only had some melons and fruits left, and then looked at Mo Li, and said a little unnaturally: "Hehe, the old woman has seen such delicious meat for the first time, and it is difficult to control herself, which makes the fairy family smile." ”

Mo Li knew that there was something wrong with the old lady in front of him, but he remained silent and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's a blessing to be able to eat." I was also worried that the meat would not be to your old man's taste. Then, he lifted the kettle on the table, poured a bowl of water, handed it to the old lady and said, "Old lady, drink some water and taste lightly, after all, these meats are still salty." ”

At this time, noon had already passed, and the sun was setting towards the west mountain, Mo left his mouth and said: "Old lady, this sister-in-law and the two children have not come back yet, what must have happened." Seeing that the old lady's face showed a hint of discoloration, Mo Li said again: "Otherwise, I'll go out to look for them." ”

"No need, Xiulian often returns late at sunset, what danger can there be. The old lady sat motionless and said with a smile.

"I'm still a little worried, this adult, two children, didn't come back at noon, the rice didn't enter, if it's late today, it stands to reason that I should come back early, I'd better go out to find it." Mo Li said again.

"Xiulian is such a big person, the whole village is familiar with it, nothing will happen, there is no need to look for it. ”

"I'd better go out and look for it. ”

"No, it's getting late, so you can rest in the house. ”

Mo Li saw that the old woman had been dissuaded several times, and she was not worried about her girl and granddaughter at all, knowing that this old lady was not as simple as she seemed. So he got up directly and wanted to walk towards the door.

The old lady grabbed his green shirt, Mo Li turned his head to look at the old lady, there was a little more anger in his eyes, and the old lady let go and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it will trouble the immortal family." ”

Mo Li nodded and walked towards the door, while the old man stood at the door and looked at Mo Li's back, with a smile on his face all the time, but Mo Li didn't see it, and the old man's eyes once again showed green light.
