Since Qin Wenhua has important matters to deal with, it is not good for me to continue to force it, and after saying goodbye to Qin Wenhua, Li Hai and I left Banjian with a feeling of anxiety.

"Chen Mo, what are you going to do next, since the four halls of the Spirit Sect have such skills, maybe their spirit things are hidden around us, isn't it a little dangerous to go back now?"

Li Hai looked at me with a gloomy face after walking out of the alley, and it seemed that he was also a little uneasy in his heart.

"I have to go back if there is danger, now that the old woman has set her sights on my parents, if I don't go back, maybe she will have to do it, and then I won't have time to cry, if you are afraid, stay in the city, I will go back by myself, and I will look for you when I come back." I looked at Li Hai and said.

As a friend, Li Hai has already experienced life and death with me several times, this matter has nothing to do with him, it is rare that he can accompany me to the present, why should I let him be implicated for my own affairs.

"What the are you talking about, you are my brother, now in trouble, brother does not accompany you, who accompanies you, since you have made up your mind to go back, then I will accompany you on a trip, now let's go back and pack our luggage, we should be able to catch the last bus." Li Hai cut the railway.

I saw that Li Hai had made up his mind, so I didn't continue to persuade him, and after returning to Tianyang Community to pack our luggage, we went to the hardware store again and bought two claw hammers and two daggers.

According to Qin Wenhua, now that the people of the Spirit Gate have set their sights on us, the four halls of Spirit Giving things need four things to deal with.

Fire and water are relatively easy to obtain, Li Hai and I both have lighters on our bodies, and we also have water in our backpacks, as for the Carved Stone Hall and the Casting Gold Hall, we must use hammers and short knives to deal with them, and we do this to prevent trouble, after all, it is an eventful time.

When everything was ready, Li Hai and I took the bus to the station, and when we arrived at the station, it was already about 3 p.m., just in time for the last bus.

Although the city where I live belongs to the same city as my hometown, it takes two or three cars to ride, and by the time we arrived at the county seat, it was already about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, when it was getting dark and the vision became a little dim.

According to my dad, he and my mom are now living in the county hospital, and I wanted to call them to ask for the exact location, but before I could take out my phone pocket, there was a crisp ringing sound.

When I heard the voice, I immediately took out my phone and looked down to see an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.

After I connected it, I just fed it, and my father's voice came from the phone: "Son, where are you now, your mother has finished the operation today, the doctor said that your mother will not delay getting out of bed for this operation, I am afraid of spending money to take her back to her hometown, I called you because I am afraid that you will find the wrong place, if you come back to see your mother, go back to your hometown directly, don't go to the county hospital again." ”

I was surprised and delighted to hear this, surprised that my mother had quietly completed the operation, and had returned to her hometown, and the joy was that my mother's operation was very successful from my father's tone, which was really a big event in my heart.

"Dad, your call is really timely rain, I just arrived at the county by bus, and I was about to buy something to see my mother, since you and my mother have gone back, then I will go directly to my hometown, by the way, how is my mother's surgery, was it successful?" I couldn't wait to ask.

"Don't worry, your mother's operation was very successful, the doctor said that it will be able to fully recover in about ten days and half a month, just like normal people, it's not early now, if you're okay, come back quickly, I'll cook a meal with your mother and wait for you."

After hanging up, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and I couldn't suppress the ecstasy in my heart.

This is the best news I've heard in a few days, and as long as my parents are safe, then I don't need to worry about my own affairs.

After putting the phone back in my pocket, I discussed it with Li Hai and went to the county store to buy some fruits and nutritional products.

"Lao Li, you're a little unkind, didn't you say that I would pay, how can you let you spend money when you come to my land?" I said, carrying two large bags of fruit pastries.

"Okay, what's polite to me, if you spend that little money, it's not even enough to go back, and besides, this is the first time I've met my uncle and aunt, so I always have to bring some greeting gifts."

After speaking, Li Hai glanced around and asked, "It's so dark now, I'm afraid the bus to your village is gone, right?" ”

"Bullshit bus, the birds in the remote area of our village don't shit, the car can't drive in, let alone the bus, generally we go to the county seat to take three jumpers, you go forward with me, although it is indeed a little late now, but with a little more money should be able to send us over."

All the way forward, we soon found a three-jumper on the side of the road in the county.

The driver was a woman, and I looked closely and even knew her.

This woman's name is Chen Qiulan, I want to call her aunt according to seniority, she was originally from our village, and later married into the county seat.

I've been playing with her ass since I was a kid, but I didn't expect to see it again after all these years.

"Aunt, why are you riding a triple jumper now, what is my uncle doing now?" After getting in the car, my cat asked in the car.

Chen Qiulan sighed and said that her man's leg was broken by a stone rolling down the mountain when he was working in a quarry the year before.

Because the foreman had been concealing the results, the treatment was delayed, and the leg was finally amputated.

Now her man is at home to take care of the children, and she works in the factory during the day and comes out to ride three jumpers at night.

Although life is relatively hard, the family is here, and it can be regarded as contentment.

After listening to Chen Qiulan, I was embarrassed, on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year, I also saw her go back to her parents' house with her man to pay New Year's greetings, but I didn't expect such a change to happen in just the past half a year, this is really impermanent.

"Haven't you been working in the city, and now why are you coming back?"

Chen Qiulan probably didn't want to mention too much sadness, so she changed the conversation and led the topic to me.

After Chen Qiulan married in the county seat, she rarely went back except for the New Year's holiday, and it was reasonable that she didn't know about my mother's illness.

After all, we are relatives, if she knows about it, she will inevitably break the bank, and now her family is in difficulty, so it is better not to say it.

"Didn't I miss my parents, so I came back to see them." I looked at Chen Qiulan and said.

"You kid is really filial, by the way, I heard that a young man in our village seems to have died when I was in the market today, and I didn't inquire carefully who it was, it seems to be about the same age as you." Chen Qiulan sighed.

Hearing Chen Qiulan's words, I sighed in my heart, I know all the young people in the village who are about the same age as me, and almost all of them have played with me since I was a child, but since Chen Qiulan didn't know who it was, I didn't continue to ask.

Since our village is located halfway up the mountain, even three jumpers can't drive up, so I got off the bus with Li Hai at the foot of the mountain.

When I got out of the car, Chen Qiulan didn't need to pay for the journey, and I had already guessed that she would do this, so when I was in the car, I secretly asked Li Hai for 300 yuan and hid it under the seat.

After looking at Chen Qiulan's three jumpers disappeared from sight, I took Li Hai and turned around and walked towards the mountain.

"Alas, I didn't expect so many things to happen in this village after I didn't come back for more than half a year, by the way, Lao Li, our village is not as good as the county seat, the toilets are in the courtyard, and there is no electric light, so you will live together when the time comes." I looked at Li Hai on the side and said slightly apologetically.

"I'm not a girl, so many things, let's see your parents ask about something by the way and go back, and we won't stay for a few days." Li Hai looked indifferent.

I was relieved to hear this, and then I took out the prepared flashlight from my backpack and continued to walk up the mountain path.

The countryside is not as good as the city, there is almost no nightlife, and it is already around 7 p.m., and the families have already closed their doors to bed, so even if you look up, you can't see the slightest light in the village.

Li Hai has not fully recovered from his previous ankle injury, so he can't stand it after crawling for more than ten minutes.

Seeing this, I found a rock for him to sit down, intending to rest for a while before continuing on my way.

"Chen Mo, your village is really remote enough, there is no shop in front of the village and behind the village, I heard before that the more strange things in this kind of place, there are no strange things in your village, anyway, it is idle now, it is better to say it and listen to it, it is a pleasure." Li Hai said while rubbing his ankles.

Li Hai belongs to the kind of person who forgets the pain after the scar, he was so scared by this dirty thing two days ago that he almost peed his pants, and now he still has to listen to ghost stories in this environment, which is really not a long memory.

But since he wanted to hear it, I didn't refuse, anyway, I grew up in a mountain village, and I haven't heard this kind of ghost story in a hundred or eighty, and it's easy to scare him.

I pondered for a moment and cleared my throat, then deliberately lowered my voice and said, "Lao Li, the mountain under our feet is called Lao Crow Mountain, named because there are many crows, do you know why there are so many crows on this mountain?" ”

"I'm not from here, I don't know where to go!" Li Hai gave me a blank look and said.

"That's because there are a lot of dead people buried on this mountain, and the crows like to eat carrion the most, because there are many graves, so there are many crows, and these crows will dig up and eat the corpses before they turn into white bones, so many nearby villagers will hear the sound of clattering from the graveyard when they are on the road at night, that is, the sound of crows eating carrion."

After finishing speaking, I paused deliberately, then raised my hand and pointed behind Li Hai, and said in a cold voice: "Lao Li, there is a cemetery behind you, listen to whether there is a clicking sound inside." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Hai stood up in fright, and only after he ran to my side did he dare to look behind him.

By the light of the flashlight, Li Hai saw the object in front of him clearly, hammered my chest hard, and said angrily: "You kid has a set of other things that have not learned to be scary, isn't this a forest, where is the cemetery, clean scare me!" ”

Seeing Li Hai's frightened pale face, I couldn't help but smile and said, "If I don't scare you, can your feet heal so fast, since it's okay now, then continue to hurry, my parents are still waiting for us to eat at home." ”

Li Hai nodded when he heard this, then put on his luggage, put on his bag, and continued to walk with me halfway up the mountain.

I had only walked a few steps when I suddenly heard a clicking sound in the grass not far ahead.

At first, I thought I was having auditory hallucinations, but when I turned my head to look at Li Hai, I noticed that he had also stopped, and his gaze was fixed in the direction from which the clicking sound came from.

Could it be that he heard it too!
