Chapter 226: By the Cypress Tree

"We have cypress trees behind this mountain, and I'll take you up after dawn, right?"

I shook my head, the yin aura here is so heavy, and it is estimated that the mountain will not be particularly safe.

Uncle Dongfang is old, and it won't be too convenient to go up the mountain, but don't encounter anything at that time, we will be distracted to take care of him.

"Let's go back and have something to eat, and then visit the old village chief. When the time comes, after knowing some things in the house, we will not be too late to go up the mountain. ”

It's a bit awkward at this point in time, and when I look up, it's already dark.

When we had finished breakfast, Uncle Dongfang took us to his house.

The old man was sitting in the big courtyard basking in the sun at this time, and when he saw someone coming, he grinned.

When I saw his situation, I guess I might not be able to remember the past too clearly.

Now I can only give it a go, and when I can see if I can communicate with him again, I can know a little bit of news about the house.

I sat with the old man for a while and smoked a cigarette.

I gradually got acquainted with him, and then I mentioned the past to him.

His eyes suddenly became clear, not as cloudy as they had been when we first entered the door.

Seeing his expression, I probably had the bottom in my heart.

"You said that house is the one from Lao Fang's family, right?" The old man asked.

I looked back at Uncle Dongfang, I didn't know who this old Fang family was, and when I saw Uncle Dongfang nodding, I continued to chat with the old man again.

"The children of the old Fang family are really evil, and their family had a little money to marry him a daughter-in-law in the county. But that girl, since she is a person in the county, of course looks down on us in the village. As time went by, the distance between them and the child of the old Fang family became farther and farther away, and the two of them respected each other like guests, but they never had a child. ”

Rural people marry daughters-in-law and children generally for the sake of inheritance, although the society is different now, but both men and women should give birth to one or two.

Without children, the old Fang's family is also anxious.

They had seen a lot of home remedies, but in the end the problem fell on the girl.

"Before the girl got married, I heard that she had miscarried a child, and her body was not processed at that time, so she never conceived. Of course, the people of the old Fang family were not happy, so they thought about whether they could reconcile with the child, but few people wanted the children who had been married to be put back in the county. So the girl was reluctant all the time, and over time she fell into a heart disease, and it didn't take long for the person to be gone. ”

The old man talked about the past, and it can be regarded as the head of the way.

We listen, and it feels like that.

"And then?" I asked.

I had to ask more while the old man was sober, and even a small detail would be especially useful to us.

Later, the old Fang family didn't know what to do, and it didn't take long for his hard-working little son to be gone, and the ashes were still in their house. Now that it's been a long time, the people of the old Fang family have moved out of the county to live, and no one cares about the little uncle's ashes anymore. ”

That's how it was.

I glanced at Dong Jing, and the matter was cleared up for us.

But there's one thing I still don't understand.

The urn was nothing to keep at home, but what did it have to do with the crying woman.

"When I was still the village chief, I asked a Taoist chief to help with it. In the past, their old house was always noisy, but after the Taoist chief did it, it seemed that there were not so many things. ”

According to the old man, before he invited the Taoist priest to come over to practice, it was true that the cry of a woman was often heard in that house, but after inviting the Taoist priest to come over to practice, the time slowly faded after a long time, and everyone didn't remember it.

If Uncle Dongfang hadn't entered the house this time, there would have been no such thing as the current one.

The old man could probably say everything he said, at this time he was basking in the sun in the big yard, drowsy, I looked up and saw that it was already noon, just enough to go up the mountain.

"Then let's leave, don't disturb the old man's rest." I stood up and patted the dust off my body.

In order to save time when I went out, I already carried a treasure bag on my back, and the treasure bag was full of things.

Everyone looks like they can leave at any time.

Uncle Dongfang led us out of his house and showed us the way by the way: "After going up this mountain, we crossed the forest, and there was a large area of cypress trees on the back hill. ”

"If you have a fast walk, you should be able to come back before dark, this mountain is not big, you should be careful."

After thanking Uncle Dongfang, we went up the mountain.

This mountain always gives me a very strange feeling.

There was no wind blowing nearby, but I always felt that something was wrong.

"The filth here is very heavy, everyone should be careful."

Huineng suddenly said this, and I knew that it was probably because he had been cultivating in the mountains for a long time, and he would have a little sense.

So I didn't dare to take it lightly.

Especially this kind of old mountain, not only is it filthy, but many pieces like to practice in these mountains.

If we run into another mountain spirit monster here, we will be busy by then.

After passing through the grove, you will see a cypress tree.

But I don't know why, all of a sudden, there was a cheerful sound of music on the mountain.

It sounds like someone in a family has a big birthday, and there are a lot of bustling voices.

A few of us looked at each other, which shouldn't be.

On weekdays, there are fewer people who go up the mountain to chop firewood, let alone someone who will hold a birthday banquet here.

This is a bit of a scratch for us.

Before we could react, a couple of men walked in our direction with wine glasses in their hands.

"Have a drink, buddy? Today we have grandma's birthday banquet. ”

The faces of those men didn't look very normal, although their eyes were clear, a little more normal than the filthy aura that surrounded the house yesterday.

But I still felt that something was wrong with these people.

Hearing what we were talking about, there was originally a stage singing in the middle of the birthday banquet, but it stopped at this time.

I set my eyes on the birthday party, and an old lady turned to look at me.

The old lady's face was disgusting, and half of her face was rotten.

She probably knew she was scary, so she tried to squeeze out a smile.

The mouth grinned, directly behind the ear.

I swallowed, and the sweat ran down my forehead.

"Ouch, there's a young man coming. Come over for a drink and congratulate my wife on her birthday. ”

The old woman walked in our direction, and a strong stench immediately hit our noses.
