"No, you don't."

Xu Feng listened to the words of the Hu family brother and shook his head again.

The Hu brothers were still a little frightened, and sat here near Xu Feng and Ah Meng worriedly, looking back at their father's body in the hall from time to time, and the darkness outside the surrounding courtyard.

"What's the ...... of this fog? Such a strong ......."

The boss of the Hu family looked at the thick fog wrapped in the night outside the courtyard, and spoke, but he didn't finish his words, and gradually stopped his voice.

The Hu brothers leaned close to each other, looking back and forth.

And at this very moment,

"Squeak......

Behind the eaves, in the open door of the hall, there was a sound of the door being opened.

"Who!"

The Hu brothers, who were already nervous, were startled, and when they could rub it, they jumped up from the ground and looked back.

“…… It's me, what's wrong. ”

"The third child, you scared someone to death, and suddenly opened the door and came out, isn't it not the second half of the night, it's not your turn to keep vigil, you don't sleep well, what are you doing when you get up."

In the hall, next to the bedroom door, the third child of the Hu family who just came out of the bedroom was the third child of the Hu family.

The third child of the Hu family was also frightened by the shout of the boss of the Hu family, and paused on the spot.

The eldest and second eldest of the Hu family, seeing that it was the third child, were shocked to ease their emotions, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but complain.

"I'm ...... I just had a dream about my dad. Dad is calling me...... Let me pass...... Say he's hungry. ”

The third child of the Hu family listened to the words of the eldest and the second, and was still a little puzzled.

explained again, but the more he spoke, the more confused his eyes became.

And at this time,

"Squeak......

Doors to several other bedrooms were also opened.

The eldest daughter of the Hu family also walked out,

"I seem to be listening to the third child say what dreams he says...... Hell, I think I heard it too. ”

“…… Phew, what kind of place is this, what are you mentioning? ”

The boss of the Hu family was still a little nervous at this time, and when he heard the eldest daughter of the Hu family mention ghosts, he immediately said.

Just as he was talking, the eldest of the Hu family glanced at the second child again, looking at each other, with some horror in his eyes.

The eldest daughter of the Hu family and the third child of the Hu family looked at the second eldest and second child's somewhat abnormal reaction, and seemed to gradually understand something.

His face was a little pale, a little worried and nervous.

“…… Governor. ”

In the end, the four brothers and sisters of the Hu family all set their sights on the Taoist chief.

"If you can't rest assured, burn some paper money for your old father at this time."

Xu Feng first looked at Ah Meng, and heard the boss of the Hu family shouting at him,

Only then did he turn his head again and answer.

"Good, good ......"

Listening to Xu Feng's words, there are four brothers and sisters who have no six gods and no masters,

It's like grabbing a life-saving straw, and I'm in a hurry to move.

The four brothers and sisters of the Hu family, right next to the door of the hall, ignited a handful of freshly torn paper money and burned a pile of paper money.

“…… Dad, you bless us ......"

It seems that this burning paper money has made the four of them feel a lot more at ease,

Squatting right next to the burning fire of this paper money can also dispel some of the chill.

The brothers and sisters threw some paper money into it from time to time, and burned the paper money until the early hours of the morning.

……

“…… Spirit. Funeral! ”

There were a few people in the village who were blowing and beating.

There are four brothers and sisters in the Hu family, some of them are holding photos of the spiritual position, and some are carrying the spiritual flag at the front of the funeral procession. Others followed, carrying the coffin that their father had left behind for himself.

In the afternoon of the next day, the funeral procession came out of the courtyard of the Hu family's boss, headed to the foot of the mountain, and found a few people to dig out the grave in the morning.

This is last night, when the Hu family brothers found Xu Feng and took the initiative to mention it.

It was probably the strange incident last night that made the Hu family brothers and sisters, these children of the deceased old man want their father to be buried as soon as possible, afraid that something will happen again.

The funeral procession crossed the bridge in the water, and firecrackers were set off from time to time when they turned.

Blowing and blowing all the way.

First passing by the village road in the village,

On both sides of the village road, almost all of the houses in the village, which were already small, came, in the funeral procession,

Those who didn't come also closed their doors and stayed in the house at this time.

Except for the sound of the funeral procession, there was no other movement in the whole village.

Occasionally, when the sound of firecrackers stopped, the village could be heard as if it were dead silent.

“…… Lift the coffin! ”

The coffin containing the remains was temporarily rested for a while by the excavated grave.

Xu Feng followed the funeral ritual process, completed the ceremony, and recited the scriptures of the overburial.

The ceremony continued.

With a greeting, the coffin bearers carried the coffin into the grave in unison.

Probably because the grave pit was dug big, and the digging was a little hurried, and the mud piled up on the side of the grave pit was not well handled.

When the coffin was placed, there was almost an accident, and a person carrying the coffin slipped and fell into the grave again.

Fortunately, the other three people reacted in time, so they narrowly missed the coffin and pressed it against the man's feet.

There was no danger, waiting for the man to crawl out of the grave, and then untie the ropes on the coffin, and the funeral continued.

It's just that there was an accident when I was buried, and it always feels unlucky.

The man who fell down had a dark face and kept standing next to him without speaking.

It was also Xu Feng who was relieved as a Taoist priest now.

There are also elderly people next to him who said that the coffin is raised. It's a good thing that the 'material' is at your feet.

The man's face softened a little, and he burned paper money for a while next to him, and bowed with incense wax before he passed.

The coffin was laid down and the earth was buried.

and piled up grave bags.

The burial was over, the atmosphere eased a little, and a group of people followed the custom and rushed back.

It's like someone is chasing after you.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng walked at the end, looking at the individuals who were running fast in front of them, and said simply,

"Ameng, where did you say the tiger is now?"

Appearing here from the underworld to the world, this village must have a lot to do with the tiger.

So what is the obsession of the big-headed beast and the tiger that has become a fine tiger? What is the relationship between obsession and this village?

Ah Meng listened to Xu Feng's words, raised his head to look at Xu Feng, and just shook his head quietly.

Glancing at Ah Meng, Xu Feng turned his head again and looked behind him.

Behind him, the grave where the deceased old man was buried was at the foot of the hill at the edge of the village.

At this time, it was already the afternoon when the sun was setting in the west, and the dense fog that had not dispersed on the mountain seemed to be permeating the slope of the mountain towards the foot of the mountain.

The newly raised graves not far away were once again a little invisible.

……

"Quack...... Ga ......"

"The boss of the Hu family...... These ducks were all killed and stewed? ”

Then return to the courtyard of the Hu family.

The people of the village who participated in the burial ceremony and came back,

Or they went back to their homes first, or they gathered together at the edge of the yard and gossiped.

In the courtyard, there is already a dining table.

In the courtyard next door, the gas stove was already burning.

The chef is already making some preparations.

The funeral is basically over, but the boss of the Hu family still has to greet the guests who come and have another white feast.

Some neighbors and relatives in the village are also helping, either helping to set the table or helping to wash the vegetables.

"These are all raised by the old man himself in the past, and now ...... Kill them all, stew. ”

The boss of the Hu family took out ducks tied to their feet from the duck pen in the backyard.

Said to the cook.

"That's fine."

The man who helped the cook had a duck in his hand, and when he heard this, he held a sharpened knife.

On the edge of the farther side, the duck was bled and plucked, disemboweled, and chopped into pieces.

When Xu Feng and Ah Meng returned to the courtyard,

On the dining table, several cold dishes have been placed,

Looking towards the side of the courtyard, the cook who was still busy helping to cook, Xu Feng turned his gaze again.

"The Taoist chief drinks tea...... Dao Chief, dinner is already being prepared here, you see if you have anything to pay attention to, you tell me, and I will talk to the cook. ”

"It's okay, just eat some."

Xu Feng replied, took the tea, and looked at the courtyard again.

"Then you sit down for a while, and you see if there is anything ......?"

The boss of the Hu family said a few more words, and then turned his head and went to get busy.

“…… Daughter-in-law, you help the lights in the yard turn on, turn them on...... It's going to be dark again. ”

The boss of the Hu family went to get busy.

The second and third brothers and sisters of the Hu family sat down again.

Xu Feng glanced not far away, and gradually as the sun set in the west, the mist that filled the air,

He turned his head back and looked at the Hu family brothers who were sitting down next to him, a little hesitant, and hesitated.

"What's the matter?"

"Daoist, my father has been buried. Look at the first seven and the last seven here, what is the saying for these things? ”

After a pause, the second elder of the Hu family asked out loud.

"I'll write you an essay in a while, and I'll write it to you tonight until the first seven and then the last seven."

Xu Feng responded, still looking at the Hu family brothers and sisters.

“…… Governor. You said...... My father is already in the ground, so there should be nothing he can't let go, right? ”

After hesitating for a while, the second child of the Hu family asked.

It was probably the eldest and second eldest of the Hu family, who also told the other brothers and sisters about last night's events carefully, and the rest of the third and eldest daughters also looked at Xu Feng a little nervously.

“…… All right. ”

This is just a reflection of history, Xu Feng just said it is terrifying,

It doesn't change what has happened in reality.

After a pause, Xu Feng still replied like this.

“…… That's good, that's good. ”

Listening to Xu Feng's comfort, the Hu family brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

“…… Old Qian, why did you come here alone, your son? ”

"What's the matter, there are still guests in the house who need to be taken care of? Remember you didn't come here before. ”

"There are no guests. There was a person, and in the morning the person drove away...... I don't know where he went! ”

At this time.

Along the road in the village, a middle-aged man in his fifties took an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

Somewhat restlessly, he walked to the edge of the yard.

Immediately after that, the courtyard became a little noisy.

Xu Feng turned his head to look over, and the Hu family brothers also stood up.

"Huh? I don't know what it means to run away, but people in their twenties can still lose it? ”

Listening to Lao Qian's words, the person who had spoken to him before asked rhetorically.

The people next to him also turned their attention,

“…… I told him not to go up the mountain, not to go up the mountain! So he said that in the field at the foot of the mountain, go and pull up the weeds, turn the ground, and plant something. ”

"I didn't come back at noon, and I didn't come back in the evening...... I don't know where I ran, I don't know if I ran to the mountains, and I got lost! ”

Old Qian took off the cigarette butt in his mouth with some anxiety.

"Ran to the mountains too? Why did you run to the mountains...... Is the phone working? ”

"I don't know, so I just said that I just went to the field at the foot of the mountain, and I couldn't go up the mountain. Can't get through, it's been unreachable since noon......"

"Can the big guy help...... Help us go up the hill to find ...... Please, everyone, help ......"

Old Qian said anxiously, his eyes were already red, and he kept shaking for everyone.

"Eh, old money, don't do that...... Did you really run to the mountains? Didn't you go somewhere else? ”

Someone stretched out his hand and grabbed the old money, and the people around him gathered over, and they were also a little anxious, but they were a little hesitant and frowned.

"How could he go anywhere else, but he went to the fields at the foot of the mountain...... How can you run anywhere else......"

"Maybe it's really up the mountain......

Someone spoke up again, but it grew quieter.

The people in the village looked at each other, and someone raised his head and looked at the mountains outside the village.

At this time, the thick fog is about to fill, and the fields at the foot of the mountain have long been covered by the thick fog, and it is impossible to see clearly.

And the sun in the sky was about to set into the valley in the distance at this time, and it was almost dark.

A group of people hesitated to look at the anxious old money, but no one spoke again, and no one moved for the time being.

If they had heard that someone had been lost, the villagers would have hurried up the mountain with flashlights and things.

But the old man of the Hu family died on the mountain before, and he didn't know what danger was on the mountain now, and it was going to be night again, and the people in the village really didn't dare to go up.

And this side,

There are several brothers and sisters in the Hu family, and their faces are even more ugly.

The eldest and second child, who had experienced last night's strange incident, had some horror on their faces.

Looking at the dense fog that gradually spreads in the distance, it feels like an abyss that wants to swallow people, and I don't know what lies behind the thick fog.

The eldest and second were a little tense all over. The other two siblings also spoke up.

But no one in the village was willing to help because of concerns.

Neither can their brothers and sisters, knowing that when their father was lost in the mountains and forests, the old man and his son came to help find him.

Now they can't afford to ignore it.

“…… Please...... Please, big guy, help find my son...... I beg you all ......"

On the side of the quiet courtyard, Lao Qian was anxious to give a group of people, back and forth.

“…… Old money, it's not that we don't want to help...... Look at the fog here, look at the sky here, it's already dark, if your son really goes to the mountains. It's okay if you get lost and just stand still. If you're still moving, you don't know where you're going. I'm afraid that if we don't find your son by then, we will get lost first. ”

As he spoke, the sun had sunk into the hills in the distance.

The afterglow of the west only lasted for a moment, and then it was completely overwhelmed by the night.

The surrounding fog also spread to the front completely, but only a few incandescent lights were still lit in the courtyard to disperse the darkness outside the courtyard.

"Please...... I beg you to ......"

"I will bow to you, I will kowtow to you...... I'm just such a son...... I ......"

As Lao Qian spoke, he was about to kneel down.

"Huh...... Old money, don't you do this...... So let's follow you to your son, and we'll go together as a group, and don't be separated. Call the police again and see if you can help find it. ”

"Thank you...... Thank you ......."

"Alright...... Okay, the big guys will go back and get things first, hoes and sickles, these are still a little bit, if you go deeper and drive down, if you encounter any brutes, you can still pick them up......"

"Good...... Did you call the police? ”

"I called, I couldn't get through, and my phone didn't have a signal...... It may be that the weather is bad, and the signal is weak from noon, and then the fog comes, and there is no signal at all. ”

"Then go to someone, go out of the village, go to the town and call the police."

"I'll drive."

"Okay. That Xiaodong went to call the police, and we went home to get things up the mountain...... Lao Yu, do you have anything in the pot there, you can take away the food, we will take it away. ”

"Yes, I'll get you a bag and put it in ......."

I still can't bear to see Lao Qian begging so helplessly and anxiously, when Lao Qian is about to kneel,

An old man of some age grabbed him, but agreed to go up the mountain to find someone.

The others didn't say anything more, just hurriedly separated and went to prepare their things.

“…… Let's go ...... too."

The expression on his face changed and changed, and after hesitating for a while, the Hu brothers still spoke.

“…… Forget it, your family...... Just let's go......"

"Let's go...... Sister, you just stay at home and greet the guests. Let's follow Uncle Qian to find the next person......"

"Okay...... Be safe. ”

The eldest daughter of the Hu family looked at her brothers with some concern.

"We know ......"

The boss of the Hu family responded, turned his head, and looked at the night and fog outside the courtyard that were becoming more and more invisible.

There was still some fear in his eyes.

“…… Governor. Can you come along with us......"

Probably thinking that last night, this Taoist chief woke them up.

The boss of the Hu family couldn't help but turn his head and said to Xu Feng with some pleading,

Immediately after, the second and third children also turned around and looked at Xu Feng with some hope.

"Huh...... Don't go. The Taoist chief has been tired for a day, how can he go up the mountain to find someone again. ”

The old man said aloud.

"The Taoist ......"

The Hu brothers also looked at Xu Feng.

"It's okay, then I'll help find it."

Xu Feng shook his head and stood up, turned his head, and glanced at the old man who was anxious and kept thanking the helper.

He had already guessed what was going to happen.

But here is just a mapping of history.

Xu Feng still followed the development of this history and went over to take a look.

"Thank you, thank you, Chief...... Thank you, Mr. Dao, ......."

Lao Qian lowered his head, his eyes were red, and then he lowered his head and said to Xu Feng.

“…… Okay, let's get our stuff, let's go......"

"Old Qian, where did your child go to the field at the foot of the mountain before, let's go up the mountain from there and see if we can find someone along the way."

"...... over there"

The person who drove out of the village to call the police had already left.

The car lights disappeared into the fog and night.

The other villagers who brought flashlights and weapons up the mountain also followed the path pointed out by Lao Qian and walked towards the mountain.

This time, Xu Feng and Ah Meng also followed.
