Chapter 9: Get out of the village!
This man, I remember, was the same one who had spoken to Shizhu on the barren mountain last night.
After all, I was still young, and I hadn't fully learned to hide my emotions, and I had a chill in my eyes.
Looking at him, I didn't speak, and Shi Dan was also a little nervous, and said, "Uncle, you go up the mountain!" ”
"Don't run up the hill if it's okay, be careful of snakes!" The man kept staring at me, and I clenched my fists, but I was pulled down by the stone egg.
"Got it, we're leaving!" Shi Dantou shouted without looking back, and then whispered to me: "Brother, let's go quickly, otherwise we will be discovered!" ”
When we arrived at the door of Shidan's house, we stopped, looked back at the path where no one was around, and gasped.
"Brother, he won't find out where we went to see where they buried something, right?"
I said, "You go home first and don't come out, I'll go back and tell my master, my master will definitely know what to do!" ”
"Okay, then you should be careful!" Stone Egg told me in turn.
After parting, I trotted all the way back to the village chief's house.
The village chief and my master were not there, and the village chief's wife was busy working in the vegetable field.
I walked over and said, "Auntie, where are my master and the village chief?" ”
The village chief's wife didn't answer me, picked the vegetables and put them in the basket, came out of the vegetable garden, and walked to the front of the house to put them down.
I saw that she was only concerned about picking vegetables and ignoring me, so she was a little anxious, and ran over again, "Auntie, I have something urgent, can you tell me where my master went?" ”
The village chief's wife still ignored me, and took the vegetables to the water pipe to wash.
I was so anxious that I wanted to get angry, but when I thought that this was in someone's house, it was not appropriate.
I looked back and forth, and the village was now as quiet as it had been when we first arrived yesterday.
I suddenly remembered that last night, I saw the village chief's wife go to the mountains to burn paper, and I immediately had an idea.
I turned around and walked back to her and watched her wash the vegetables.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the village chief's wife seemed a little uncomfortable, and after a pause, she continued to change the water and wash the vegetables.
"I see you!" I said, "I saw that they buried the woman alive that night, and you went to burn paper money for her!" ”
The village chief's wife trembled, stopped moving, and looked up at me, surprised, shocked, flustered, uneasy, all kinds of emotions appeared in her eyes.
"Auntie, you know what we're here for, so you can tell me if you know anything!" I continued to guide her.
The village chief's wife's eyes were a little red, and she quickly lowered her head, washed the vegetables quickly, and then put them in the basket and walked quickly into the kitchen.
I was a little disappointed, but at the same time there was a glimmer of hope after seeing her reaction.
I knew she must know something, but she just didn't want to say it, or ...... Don't dare to say!
"Auntie, you're busy, I'll go find my master!" I waited for a while, and when I saw that she lowered her head and ignored me, she simply turned around and left.
"Get out of the village!"
Suddenly, the village chief's wife whispered a word, I stopped abruptly, and when I looked back, she lowered her head and cut vegetables, as if what she had just said was my hallucination.
But I heard it, and she was the one who spoke, and she told me to get out of the village!
I felt a deep uneasiness in my heart, and I ran out quickly, and Shi Dan actually kept an eye on the outside in his yard, and when he saw me running over, he opened the door.
"Brother, why are you going?"
"I'll go find my master!"
"I'll go with you!"
"You ......"
"Meridian! In a panic, there are no rules! Master's voice came from behind me, making me shudder.
I hurriedly turned around and saw the village chief smiling beside Master, "I'll accompany your Master around the village." ”
"Oh!" I quickly stood up and peeked at my master, who was also looking at me, his brows furrowed, and there seemed to be some anger in his eyes.
I instantly felt empty, "Master, I didn't see you when I came back, so I ......"
"That's it! Let's go back! Master interrupted me and walked past me.
The village chief followed, smiled at me, and made a few actions that he cared about and was fine.
Shi Dan and I looked at each other, and Shi Dan said, "Brother, do you see where they came from?" ”
"I don't have eyes in the back of my head!" I said angrily.
Shi Dan said in a humble voice: "I see them coming down from the mountain!" ”
It's on the mountain again, and others don't care, but my master, I'm sure I'll find out something.
"Don't talk about it, I'll go back first, don't run around!" I confessed and trotted out.
Back at the village chief's house, the village chief sat at the table with the master and drank tea and talked about the affairs of the village.
I listened with my ears, put away the clothes to dry, and slowly went back to the room, folded them, put them away, and stood in the door for a while before going out.
"Come and sit!" The village chief beckoned to me.
I looked at my master, and he nodded, and I walked over and sat down.
"Master, your apprentice has taught well!" The village chief complimented me, brought me a teacup, and wanted to pour me tea.
I quickly picked it up, "I'll come, I'll come!" ”
I took the teapot and refilled the tea for my master and the village chief before pouring myself a cup and drinking it in one gulp, only to find that my throat was dry and uncomfortable.
"Tell me, in my broken village, there are fewer and fewer people in so many households, and those who have the ability to go out and not come back, maybe it will be empty one day!" The village chief continued to sigh.
My master nodded, and instead of answering the question, he asked something else, "Aren't the people in your village buried on the mountain after they pass away and not cremated?" ”
"Our place is too remote, and there have been people in the county who have come to promote cremation, but the old people pay attention to the safety of the earth, and no one wants to! Besides, even if someone dies and is buried, no one really cares! ”
Isn't this the mountain high emperor far away, and none of you can care what we do?
I was a little disdainful and wanted to pout, but after glancing at Master, I held back.
I have something on my mind, and I always want to find a chance to talk to my master, but the village chief has always been with me, so I have never had a chance.
Perhaps my master saw that I was a little restless, and frowned, "There is no sitting statue, what does it look like?" ”
I quickly sat up straight.
The village chief laughed, "Don't be so strict when you come out, it's normal for young people to not be able to sit still!" ”
I didn't dare answer, biting my lip and staring at the teacup.
The master said, "After lunch, please ask the village chief to inform the village and tell everyone in the village not to go out at night, I want to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the village chief was immediately happy, and immediately said: "Okay, I'll inform you about this, and in the afternoon, the master will have a good rest at home!" ”
When lunch was ready, the village chief's wife brought a plate of dishes, and she looked up at me, wanting to stop talking.
"Uh-huh!" The village chief cleared her throat, and she quickly lowered her head and walked away quickly.
I looked at the village chief, who smiled and said to me, "Come, eat, eat!" ”
After eating, the village chief went out to inform him.
I entered the room with Master and immediately grabbed him, "Master, let me tell you......"
I told Master everything I saw when I left my soul.
In the end, he also took the stone egg to the buried clothes that I saw in the bamboo forest, and also said.
"Master, those clothes don't burn, something big will happen sooner or later!"
"Out of the way! You'll need it later! Master said.
I still looked at him with a blank eye, wondering why Master could be so calm after knowing this.
"Master, they are all murderers!" I was anxious, "They also abduct and sell women!" ...... also "I was a little embarrassed to say anything about the compulsion," and the village chief's wife actually burned paper for that woman behind her back, she must know something......"
