Chapter 417: That's the piece
I can say that I am full of self-confidence, and I have known for a long time that the Captain of the Adverse Wind wants me to die, but he wants me to die at his hands, not for me to die accidentally.
That's why I've always been so confident that I'll be able to reach the rock on the edge of the cliff safely.
As I expected, even the new thick hemp rope began to break halfway through my descent into the rocks, but I finally reached the rocks safely.
In order to avoid the small wooden sign placed on the rock, it will fall deeper into the cliff in the process of transporting the body.
When I got to the rocks, I stood firm and immediately put the little wooden sign in my arms.
I also knew very well in my heart that what the little wooden sign needed was nothing more than a yin qi or a yin grudge qi, so there would be no danger in the process of transporting the corpse.
"Old village chief, you throw the rope down for me." Once I had my footing, I shouted loudly to the edge of the cliff below.
When the villagers heard my call, they hurriedly threw down the thick hemp rope that had been tied to the trunk of the tree.
I wrapped the thick hemp rope around the corpse and asked them to transport it up first, which wasted half a day.
When I returned to the ground safely, everyone was relieved that this matter was settled, but there were still even bigger conspiracies to face, and I had to solve them one by one.
After learning that someone had fallen off the cliff, more and more villagers watched from the edge of the cliff.
In order to avoid another murder, the old village chief was also on the side, shouting to them not to approach.
When I was on my feet, in the crowd, I found the woman who had been holding the child before.
If I'm not mistaken, the woman once said that they had a small wooden sign in their house that had been taken by the head of the upwind road.
So the little wooden sign in my hand now should be the one in their house.
I walked up to the woman with a wooden sign, and next to her stood her man.
"I remember you said before that your family's wooden sign was taken by the headwind, is this one?"
I think this answer is important to me, because if this wooden sign is theirs, then I can know more about this wooden sign from her mouth.
Naturally, I knew why the headwind leader needed to get this wooden sign, and I also knew what the use of this wooden sign was.
"This is our family, where did you get it?"
Before the woman could answer my words, the man became agitated when he saw the wooden sign in my hand.
As he spoke, the man tried to reach out and snatch the small wooden plaque from my hand, but I twisted my hand and put it in my pocket.
I actually got this thing, whether it is their family or not, I will not return it to them easily.
It's not that I want to get this wooden card, but I think this small wooden card is too negative for ordinary people, and it is not a good way to deal with it at home.
Plus, they must know some of the effects of this wooden card, so I have to ask first, and as for whether this wooden card will be returned to them, it will depend on what I will do with it later.
Now that there is a certain amount of filth stored in the wooden card, if you really have to stay at home, then you have to have me or Huineng do it yourself.
"Come with me."
When the man saw that I refused to give him back the small wooden card in my hand, his face was a little unhappy.
But because the thing was in my hand, he didn't dare to attack me, even if he had already looked at me a little unpleasantly, but now he still spoke softly, and invited me to follow him.
I knew that he wouldn't dare do anything to me in full view, so I followed him all the way to his house.
As soon as we entered the house, he didn't ask us to sit down, and he had already talked to me about the conditions.
"This small wooden card is our family's family heirloom, before because of the request for our daughter's life, so this wooden card was given to the head of the headwind, since now the wooden card has returned, I also hope that you can return our family treasure to us."
I'd heard about it before, and I wanted to ask something more, but I also felt that it had been so long that they probably didn't know where the sign came from.
But it seemed like I was overthinking, because after seeing that I didn't speak, the man started to scare me.
"Since you are in this business, then you should also know that the yin qi of this wooden sign is very heavy.
This tombstone was taken out of the tomb by my ancestor when he robbed the tomb before, because there was a life and death contract with it, so this wooden tablet has been left in our house to be offered.
Now that there are no people to worship, there are frequent accidents in the village, and a few lives have been lost today, and you just stay here with your fate.
So I advise you to return the things to us, otherwise there will be no more deaths in the village, I dare not guarantee. “
Grave?
In other words, this wooden plaque in my hand came out of an old tomb?
What about the contract of life and death?
I hadn't asked yet, but the man seemed to know what I was trying to ask.
His face suddenly became no longer angry, but looked at me seriously, with sincerity in his eyes.
"The so-called contract of life and death, that is, my ancestor was in the tomb at that time, and his life was threatened, and it was this little wooden card that saved his life, and since then my old ancestor has sworn in his heart, and dripped his own blood on the small wooden card.
Since then, we have been worshipping this little wooden plaque for generations.
It's just that because something happened to my family, I also explained the situation to the head of the headwind, and he said that he would help us with the next offerings, so I decided to hand over the small wooden plaque to him.
But now he hasn't fulfilled his promise, and I have to take the little wooden plaque back to our house for the rest of the offerings. “
The more I listened, the more I felt that what this man said was a bit wicked.
Originally, it was already a ridiculous thing to use one's own blood to offer this wooden tablet, just like a family used their own blood to worship an old pine tree.
But now I know that this little wooden sign was in the tomb until it was discovered by this man's ancestor.
That means that the small wooden sign itself is already a filthy thing, and it must not be placed in their home like this.
"Either you can give it back to me first, right?" Men don't want to hear anything more from me at all.
