Chapter 9: Entering the Village Again
Speaking of which, I could only go into the village with him again, but I proposed that I wanted to go to see my uncle, and Du Gang happily agreed.
After entering the village, I found that there were many fewer people in the village than yesterday, and when I looked closely, most of them were hiding at home, just quietly watching us through the window, and occasionally met one or two people who looked at me strangely, and some even left in a hurry.
"What about them?" I asked curiously.
"The whole village knows about robbing people with ghosts, and now you are much more famous than before."
I vaguely felt that such a name was not a good thing, because I felt that the people in the village were more alienated from me.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at my uncle's house, and my grandmother's body was still in its place, so I first put incense on my grandmother and kowtowed, and then went to find my uncle.
I saw that my uncle was asleep, his cheeks were collapsed, his lips were white, his eyebrows and hair were gone, and he suddenly seemed to be dozens of years old. Du Gang said that although his uncle's life was saved, after all, he lost his three spirits and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he didn't know how long he would sleep this night, and when he woke up, he didn't know what the situation would be.
Not long after, the village chief heard that I had entered the village with Du Gang, and came to invite him again, and Du Gang told the village chief that he had to bury his grandmother at three o'clock, but eight young people who belonged to chickens were needed to come out and carry the coffin and let the village chief help.
"It's not difficult, it's just that the old lady Ren..."
"Village chief, don't worry, you won't delay things."
The village chief agreed, sent someone to find the young man who belonged to the chicken, and Du Gang took me to Ren's house, before I reached Ren's house, I was almost fainted by the overwhelming smell of blood, and I saw a large pool of blood at the door from a distance, which had congealed and blackened.
I looked around Ren's house and saw that there were paddy fields all around, and the nearest neighbor was also several hundred meters away from his house, in another paddy field.
When the village chief saw me looking at the family, he said, "That family went to join their relatives this morning, and they were terrified last night." ”
Du Gang nodded, undeniable.
The Ren family's house had been fenced off, and there were two descendants from the village guarding it, and when they saw us coming, they removed the chairs that stood in the way to make way for us.
Du Gang took out two folded triangular talismans and gave them them, and the two of them immediately grabbed them in their hands, and Du Gang asked them to go home and take a good bath with mulberry leaves, and then let them leave.
The village chief hurriedly asked the two to call someone to take over, but Du Gang said no, he said that the resentment here is too heavy, and it is not good for the health of the living people to be here for too long, and the way it is now, no one dares to approach, and after speaking, let the village chief also leave, saying that I will follow him here.
After the village chief left, Du Gang took me into Ren's house.
As soon as I entered, I was speechless by the thirteen black coffins, only to see that each coffin was wrapped several times with vermilion thread, arranged in a circle, the one in the center of the circle looked the largest, the thread wound on it was also the densest, and there was even a copper coin sword hanging above, I recognized this copper coin sword as Du Gang's.
"What's wrong with this coffin?" I asked, pointing to the middle one.
"That's Ren Damin's coffin."
I wanted to ask again, but he had already gone away, and I saw him bring two buckets from the corner, and from the barrels came a fishy stench, worse than the smell of human blood.
"What is this?" I asked as I took two steps back, covering my nose.
"Black dog blood." Du Gang handed me a brush, but I was unconscious in my two hands, so I could only hold it between my arms.
"How I draw, how you draw, don't look bad."
I have a bitter face, I can't hold it steadily, even if I don't look bad, I can't draw the same as him.
