Along the way, no one spoke, each pondering things. As soon as he returned to Zhang Qishan's home, a strong wind was blowing outside, and it was getting darker and darker. The clouds are getting lower and lower, and the rain is about to fall.

At this moment, a figure flashed in from outside, and it was a lewd-looking man who entered. The clothes worn by the man were very dirty, and the color of the original clothes could not be seen. The face is dark, it should have been a long time since he washed it, and this person looks like a lazy man in the village.

"Uncle, I said that you came back, but they still don't believe it." A smile spread across the man's face.

When Zhang Qishan saw him, he couldn't help frowning, and he said in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "Ercai, what are you doing here?" ”

"Uncle, look at what you said, we are from the same village, you go back to the village, shouldn't I come over to take a look?" Ercai said with a smiling face.

"Okay, I've seen it, let's go." Zhang Qishan began to pick people out.

"Uncle, you see why you want to leave me when I just came, I have something to tell you." Ercai said with a hippie smile.

"In addition to borrowing money, what else can you do, Ercai, you are not young anymore, it's not that my uncle said you, you can't be so lazy anymore." Zhang Qishan sighed and persuaded.

"Uncle, you're right, I want to too, but I don't know if there's a chance." Ercai sighed, "There are five dead people in the village, and I don't know when it will be my turn." ”

Zhang Qishan took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Ercai, "You can take this money as a travel fee, leave the village and go outside to find a job." ”

Ercai took the money, but he didn't leave, but tapped the money with his hand, "Uncle, isn't it a little little." ”

I can also see that this Ercai is not only a lazy lazy man, but also a scoundrel with no skin and no face.

"Ercai, don't go too far, hurry up, we still have things to do." Zhang Qishan said in a very ugly tone.

Ercai looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and said directly, "Uncle, I know what you want to do, aren't you here for Laoqiao." ”

"Do you know how the old bridge collapsed?" Ercai said suddenly.

Hearing this, the eyes of the three people present all looked at him.

"Didn't it collapse on its own?" Zhang Qishan asked with squinted eyes.

"If someone hadn't vandalized it, the old bridge wouldn't have collapsed." The second said and walked out.

Second, there is something in the words, is there another hidden reason for the collapse of the old bridge. When Zhang Qishan said it at that time, I didn't pay too much attention to it, but now that I think about it, the old bridge can't collapse inexplicably after the new bridge is repaired.

I immediately thought of a possibility, Feng Shui. Could it be that the feng shui where the new bridge is located can just clash with the feng shui of the old bridge? When we went to the river just now, I was so focused on the resentment in the water that I forgot to look at the feng shui over there.

Zhang Qishan immediately heard Ercai's words, and directly reached out and grabbed him, "Ercai, you make it clear." ”

"Uncle, let's not talk about it, I'll go to the village shop to buy some wine to drink, I haven't drunk alcohol for a week." Ercai has no intention of stopping.

I knew he was trying to extort money.

"Ercai, let's say, how much money do you want, let me tell you, you don't want the lion to open your mouth, how the old bridge collapsed, you should be the only one who knows." Zhang Qishan warned Ercaidao.

"You're right, I'm the only one who knows." Ercai smiled.

"Ercai, you have to know the severity, this is related to the lives of our entire village, and it also has something to do with you." Zhang Qishan added.

"My life doesn't matter, if I die, I die. As for the lives of the whole village, what does their life have to do with me, who cares about my life when I am poor. I only recognize money, and if you give me money, I'll tell you about it. If you don't want to pay, then I'll go. Ercai had an indifferent expression.

"Okay, I'll give you the money." Zhang Qishan said and took out another thousand from his pocket and handed it to Ercai, "These are enough." ”

"Uncle, you are asking for food, you said that you are also a person who has seen the world, and you can actually take this money." Ercai just glanced at it and was very dissatisfied.

"Boy, don't go too far, you are from this village, you should contribute to the village, and now you are still using this matter to open your mouth. Today I will teach you a lesson for your parents. Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't control his temper anymore, and he raised his hand to fight.

"Lao Cheng, don't do it yet." Zhang Qishan stopped Cheng Yuanzhi, he glanced at Ercai, and took out another thousand, "I only brought so much when I came back this time." ”

Ercai looked at the money and nodded, "Uncle, don't blame me, I'm also poor and have no choice." ”

"Alright, you hurry up." Zhang Qishan said impatiently.

"When the new bridge was not yet repaired, one night I was returning home from drinking in a neighboring village, and I saw a man sneaking around on the old bridge, and I didn't know what he was doing."

"Out of curiosity, I secretly hid from a distance and watched, and he buried something on the bridge, lit it with a match, and then there was a loud bang, and I knew he was blowing up the bridge."

None of the three of them spoke, and they all listened intently to Ercai's narration.

"But the old bridge is very strong, he blew it up twice in a row, and the old bridge was not damaged in the slightest. Then the man left. ”

"Later, the new bridge was repaired, and the old bridge collapsed, so I thought it had nothing to do with that person."

Ercai's analysis is quite right, the person who wants to blow up the bridge, I'm afraid it has something to do with the collapse of the old bridge, he wanted to blow up the bridge at the beginning, because the old bridge was built on the Yin Bridge, and it was protected by the Yin Bridge, so it was not blown up. After the new bridge was built, probably for some reason, the feng shui of the old bridge was destroyed. can be easily blown up.

Then the question is, why did that person blow up the old bridge, what was his purpose, was it to release the nine unjust souls and destroy the entire village.

"Can you see what the man looks like?" Zhang Qishan asked impatiently.

"I only saw a back, he was quite tall, he was a little sick, he had a hat on his head, it was quite dark at the time, and the rest was gone." Ercai tried hard to remember.

"Alright, you can go back." Zhang Qishan waved his hand and asked Ercai to go back first.

After the two left, Zhang Qishan looked at me and Cheng Yuanzhi, "What do you two think?" ”

I didn't speak, Cheng Yuanzhi said, "Why did that person release all the unjust souls under the bridge, does he have a grudge against your village?" ”

"Moreover, he should also be a person in the circle, and the construction of the new bridge may also have something to do with him."

Cheng Yuanzhi's analysis is not wrong, the construction of the new bridge should have something to do with that person, he failed to blow up the old bridge for the first time, so he thought of this way. As for whether he was seeking revenge or had some other purpose, it's hard to say.

"I'll go to the village chief's house now and ask Zhang Dafu's phone number, and I'll ask him who asked him to build the bridge." Zhang Qishan walked out after speaking.

Cheng Yuanzhi and I waited in the house until it was raining outside, and Zhang Qishan came in from outside, and he was drenched in by the rain.

I brought him a towel and asked him how he was.

Zhang Qishan's face was very ugly, he wiped his hair, and then said, "Zhang Dafu is dead, just dead." ”

Zhang Dafu is the local tyrant who paid for the village to build a new bridge.

This is too much of a coincidence, I asked Zhang Qishan to explain what was going on.

Zhang Qishan went to the village chief's house and first learned about the situation with the village chief. Ercai was right, the village chief had heard the sound before, but it was night, and it only rang twice, so he didn't pay much attention to it. I just thought someone was secretly blowing fish at night.

Later, he heard it again, but that time there was only one sound and no movement, and the next day the old bridge collapsed.

From this point, it can be seen that the collapse of the old bridge is inseparable from that person.

The village chief gave Zhang Dafu's contact information to Zhang Qishan, and at the beginning, no one at Zhang Dafu's house picked it up, but after they fought for half an hour, someone finally picked it up. Zhang Qishan said that he was looking for Zhang Dafu, saying that he was a fellow countryman.

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and told Zhang Qishan that Zhang Dafu had just died. Zhang Qishan was shocked at that time, he just had a clue here, and Zhang Dafu died. How do you look at this, it looks like someone deliberately killed Zhang Dafu.

Zhang Qishan hurriedly asked the other party how Zhang Dafu died, and the man told him that the doctor determined that Zhang Dafu died of a heart attack.

He also said that Zhang Dafu has always been in good health, and there is no heart disease at all. I don't know how I died suddenly.

Later, Zhang Qishan asked him about Zhang Dafu's bridge repair, and the other party said that he didn't know, and he would wait for Zhang Dafu's daughter-in-law to come back.

The whole thing seems to be a conspiracy, and as soon as we found the clue of Zhang Dafu, he died suddenly, which is a bit too coincidental.

"It's okay to say that the dead are doing the trick, but with the living people, things will be in trouble." Cheng Yuanzhi said faintly.

Cheng Yuanzhi's words are very reasonable, if it is a dead person, it is enough to use the means of exorcism. If there are living people involved, then it will be troublesome. There is no evil spirit in the evil spirits, nor is there evil in the hearts of some people.

"Taiping, I don't think we can control this matter, let's go back. Lao Zhang, you also go back and take your grandson away to fly away, with your ability, you shouldn't be found by the unjust soul. Cheng Yuanzhi directly began to pack his things.

"If you are afraid, go first, I cannot go. This matter was all provoked by our Zhang family, and I can't just leave. Zhang Qishan said very resolutely.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at me, "Taiping, what do you say?" ”

I thought about it for a while, since I had already promised Zhang Qishan about this matter, I couldn't leave like this. And I can't just sit idly by while a village of people dies. This is not my Chen Taiping's style of doing things.

"Uncle Cheng, I'm not leaving." I said it directly and simply.

"Why are you so tough, this kid, from the fact that that person killed Zhang Dafu, it can be seen that his methods are ruthless and vicious. Stay here, I don't know if I'll survive. Cheng Yuanzhi persuaded again.

"Uncle Cheng, if you are afraid, please leave first, and when the matter here is done, if I am still alive, I will definitely go to repair the Yin Mansion for you." Everyone has their own choice, and Cheng Yuanzhi's choice is not wrong. I can't persuade him to stay, because it's dangerous.

"Forget it, neither of you are leaving, and neither will I." Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand and said.
