Hot tears fell down my cheeks like money, and my heart was more like being dug out and cooked on an oil-free iron pan.

I didn't stop frying until the fried paste turned black, and I could even smell the burnt smell.

In a trance, I vaguely saw my father shaking a pampa fan to fan me under the tree outside the courtyard, and I was sitting on a pony in front of him, holding my cheeks and listening quietly to his strange rumors.

The smell of food came from the kitchen, and it was my mom who was busy in the kitchen.

She took off her waist apron and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and shouted to the door, and the two of us put away the bench and walked towards the courtyard.

Suddenly, it was dark in front of me, and when I saw it again, there were only old trees left outside the courtyard, but I didn't see the people who told and listened to the stories back then, and I was stunned when I looked at the scene in the courtyard, and it took me a while to come back to my senses, but when I woke up from my fantasy, my clothes were already wet with tears.

My parents have raised me for more than 20 years, and I didn't let them enjoy the happiness but let them suffer so much when they died.

It took dozens of slaps before I stopped, and by this time blood was oozing from the corners of my mouth, but this kind of physical pain was far less than one percent of the pain in my heart.

I raised my hand to wipe the blood from the corner of my mouth, gritted my teeth and said: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, no matter who the murderer is, I will avenge you, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, I will catch him and bring him to justice, I will not let you die in vain, I will not let your blood flow in vain!" ”

Ning Nanxi and Li Hai went back to the room and slept for about an hour, and during this time, I was in the room reminiscing about the past and using hot water to help my parents wipe off the blood stained on their bodies.

I remember that my parents were clean people, and I didn't want them to be covered in blood when they left, and maybe they would blame me if I entered the underworld one day.

When Ning Nanxi and the two woke up, it was already about two o'clock in the afternoon, and we went to Chen Papi's house first, at this time, he had already placed the two coffins on the board car, waiting for us to go and pick them up.

"Uncle Chen, how much are these two coffins?" I looked at Chen Xuanji, who was smoking a dry cigarette, and asked.

"Don't have a child, you can take these two coffins away, a few years ago I thought that with money I could have everything in the world, but now it seems that money is far from having such a big effect, people live a lifetime is nothing more than birth, old age, sickness and death, the starting point is the same and the end is the same, as the old saying goes, you can't take it away, only karma with you, I have done too many wrong things in my life, and now I should do something good, but now I want to understand whether it is a little late?" Chen Xuanji asked in a deep voice.

"It's not too late, knowing your mistakes can improve the great way, isn't the Buddhists also talking about putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha, as long as you are willing to change it, it will not be too late, what you are afraid of is not to change, but didn't you want to wait for that heavy treasure to appear in the world, you have been waiting for thirty years, are you ready to give up?" Ning Nanxi looked at Chen Xuanji and asked.

Chen Xuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, waved the dry tobacco pot in his hand and said: "Don't wait, how many thirty years do people live in one life, I have been waiting for nearly half a lifetime, since I haven't waited, it means that this thing has nothing to do with me, why bother to ask for something without a fate, but it took me thirty years to understand this truth, the price is too great, and I want to spend the rest of my life in the next time, and I don't want to have anything to do with the affairs of the rivers and lakes." ”

Hearing that Chen Xuanji was about to retire from the rivers and lakes, I hurriedly asked him where he was going.

Chen Xuanji smiled bitterly, saying that the world is full of accommodation, where he goes, maybe he will live in seclusion when he encounters a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Then he asked us where we were going, and I didn't hide it, telling Chen Xuanji that we were going to the city to find friends.

"Chen Mo, if you are the chosen one, then I am afraid that your next road will not be easy, as an elder, I still have something to advise you, no matter what you do, don't forget to follow your heart, don't be tempted by the world to distract your original intention, only in this way can you become an upright and good person."

After speaking, Chen Xuanji glanced up at the sun, and then said: "It's not early, you hurry up and pull these two coffins to bury your parents, I should also go, the mountain is high and the road is far away, if there is a fate, we will definitely meet again." ”

After Chen Xuanji finished speaking, he picked up a blue cloth package from the side and carried it on his back, and then limped towards the courtyard gate.

Seeing Chen Xuanji leaving, the three of us immediately followed, walked to the door and stopped, Chen Xuanji's thin figure was getting farther and farther away from us.

Looking at his back, I felt sour, Tanhualang, who dominated the rivers and lakes thirty years ago, didn't expect to fall into today's field, if it weren't for the treasure, he wouldn't have come to this point.

It was really a wrong step, but his ending was still good, at least now he has realized that he has finally reined in the precipice.

After a while, Chen Xuanji's figure disappeared completely, and when he left, the three of us also returned to the courtyard to pull the cart and walked towards home with two coffins.

Because Ning Nanxi and the others had leg injuries, they could only push in the back, and I dragged them in front with my shoulders.

It took a lot of effort to pull the cart back to the door, and then I put my parents' bodies on the cart smoothly in turn.

It's been a day or two since my parents died, but they haven't changed in any way, and they just seem to be asleep.

Looking at their corpses, I still have the illusion that they will wake up as soon as I call them, but I know in my heart that it is just my imagination.

"Let's go Chen Mo, it's not too early now, after burying our uncle and aunt, we have to go to the city, don't delay too long." Ning Nanxi looked at me and said softly.

I knew she wasn't afraid that it would be too late, but that I would be more sad if I looked at it more.

I took a deep breath, turned my head to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, nodded in agreement, and pulled the cart towards the wasteland.

Ning Nanxi was born in Xuanqingmen, although he is not very proficient in the art of feng shui, but he can also use what he has learned to find a good acupuncture point in feng shui.

"Didn't you say that the Coffin Mountain Broken Sun Bureau would appear in the place of great murder, but now that Chen Mo's parents are buried here, can they not be disturbed by this great murderous place, right?" Halfway through the digging, Li Hai asked.

"Now that the villagers of Chenjia Village have died, this means that the Coffin Mountain Broken Yang Bureau has been broken, and since the feng shui pattern has changed, the place of great murder no longer exists, so the feng shui here will not affect the people who are buried." Ning Nanxi looked at Li Hai and explained.

Hearing this, Li Hai and I were relieved, and soon dug a huge soil pit, and then worked together to push the two coffins into it, and it was already about three o'clock in the afternoon when the sealed soil was filled.

When I came, I took a lot of incense and candle ingots from Chen Xuanji's house, and after burying my parents, I knelt in front of their graves and burned paper and sprinkled money for them.

"Mom and Dad, you have worked hard for me for most of your life, and now you can finally rest well, don't worry, I will keep the hatred of Chenjia Village in my heart, and I must avenge you!"

After speaking, I threw the paper money in my hand into the air, and the paper money fell all over the sky, and my tears came out of my eyes.

After burying the bodies of my parents together, the three of us went home to pack our luggage, seeing that it was getting late, I had planned to stay for another day, and go to the city early tomorrow morning, but Ning Nanxi was worried that it would change later, so we had no choice but to leave the village in the evening and walk in the direction of the county seat.

Due to the leg injuries of Ning Nanxi and Li Hai, we stopped and stopped along the way, and it was only half of the way until it was dark.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark, I was afraid that it would be dangerous if I continued to hurry, so I proposed to find a place to rest first, and wait until tomorrow morning before we left, otherwise Ning Nanxi and the others would not be able to stand it.

Although Ning Nanxi didn't want to stop, when she saw that the gauze tied to her legs was already red with blood, she had to agree, and then the three of us found a sheltered place to rest.

It is said that it is a sheltered from the wind, but it is actually a broken grass shed, and the countryside lives on the land, and the growth of crops is more important than anything else.

Every year, when the crops are about to be harvested, wild animals from the mountains come to the fields to wreak havoc on the crops, so the villagers will try to find ways to drive away the wild beasts and save the crops.

There are several ways to do this, one is to use firecrackers to drive away, first use the lit incense to put on the fuse of the firecracker, and when the incense burns to a certain extent, the fuse will be ignited, so that the firecracker will explode.

Wild animals that steal crops will scatter and flee when they hear the sound of firecrackers, but this method is relatively expensive, and the villagers do not make much money all year round, and although it is very effective, it is rarely used.

The second method is to tie the straw to the wood, and then put a plastic bag or balloon around the head, so that it looks like someone is standing in the field.

Generally speaking, wild beasts do not dare to enter the field and harm the crops when they see it, but this method is only suitable for the more stupid animals, such as foxes or yellow-skinned animals, which are hardly affected by scarecrows.

The last option, which is the dumbest but also the most effective, is to build a hut or hut in the middle of the crops.

The villagers live here for days when the crops are about to be harvested, and at night they are basically vigils, so that if any wild beast burrows into the crops, they can be spotted and scared away with shouts.

The place where we rested was a melon field, and since it was already late autumn and it was already past the time to pick, there was only one melon seedling left in the melon field, and the grass hut was empty, except for a temporary bed made of wood.

After walking for several hours, the three of us were already exhausted, so we ate some dry food brought from home and lay down to rest.

Ning Nanxi slept on a bed made of wood, Li Hai and I slept on hay, the night breeze was cool, and the sound of birds and insects kept coming from our ears, and soon the three of us fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but in a daze, I suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the grass hut.

At first, I thought it was Li Hai or Ning Nanxi who got up to go to the toilet at night, but when I opened my eyes, I found that the two of them were still sleeping next to me.

Seeing that it was not Ning Nanxi and the two of them outside the grass shed, I woke up instantly, thinking that it was estimated that a wild beast had broken into the ground, but now that the melon field was empty, how could this beast still come to the field to eat.

Originally, I wanted to wake up Ning Nanxi and Li Hai to go out to have a look, but I didn't bother when I saw that they were sleeping deeply, and then I carefully got up and walked towards the outside of the grass hut.
