Chapter 12: A Trick Knocks on the Door
"This is haunted, hurry up and find Mr. Yin and Yang, otherwise there will be death!"
I don't know who in the crowd howled, his voice changed tone because of fear, and the other villagers were reminded by him, and one by one they rushed to Mr. Yin and Yang's residence like people in the water grabbing the only straw that saved their lives.
Mr. Yin Yang hadn't slept at this time, and when he heard someone say that the mourning hall was haunted, he hurriedly rushed to the mourning hall with his apprentices.
The green ghost fire danced on its own, as if mocking everyone.
When Zhang Yu and I arrived, we saw Mr. Yin Yang take the bag from the backpack apprentice and touch it inside.
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
Mr. Yin Yang said coldly, and then grabbed a handful of Five Emperor Coins and threw them into the mud basin burning with ghost fire.
Zhang Yu and I were so bold that we could see it clearly, and the ghost fire that was raging just now dissipated not long after Mr. Yin Yang threw it into the Five Emperors' coins.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and they praised Mr. Yin and Yang for their profundity.
I also frowned, originally I suspected that Mr. Yin Yang was a deceitful Xibei goods, but now looking at his methods, it seems that there is something.
Mr. Yin Yang was not very interested in the flattery of the villagers, he snorted coldly and said: "It's just a coincidence, the five emperors have more than 10 million people and have the heaviest yang energy, so this can extinguish the ghost fire." ”
After a moment of silence, Mr. Yin Yang said in a deep voice as if he had made a decision: "Tomorrow the dead must be buried." ”
The son of the old village chief was embarrassed and said, "Our rule here is that the mortuary can be buried for three days......
Mr. Yin Yang rudely interrupted him and said, "You also saw it just now, if I hadn't come in time, maybe there would have been some chaos, and if I don't bury him tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be dead people in the village!" ”
As soon as Mr. Yin Yang's voice fell, the faces of the people in the village immediately became ugly, and they looked at the old village chief's son one by one.
At this time, the old village chief's son didn't have much to say, so he could only nod his head and agree, otherwise they would be angry, and they wouldn't want to stay in the village.
Mr. Yin Yang saw the old village chief's son nodding, so his face softened a little and said, "Don't keep vigil tonight, hurry up and go back to rest, and go to the funeral early tomorrow morning." ”
After saying that, Mr. Yin Yang turned to leave, but at the moment when Mr. Yin Yang turned around, I saw him glance at me and Zhang Yu, his eyes were no longer righteous and awe-inspiring, but a little more ruthless and vicious.
Because Mr. Yin Yang put down his words, the family of the old village chief and the people in the village who were originally keeping vigil slowly dispersed, and Zhang Yu and I didn't have a chance to talk to the old village chief's family, so we had to go back to Lao Yangtou's house first.
At this time, Tang Ruyi had not rested, Lao Yang Tou was an honest old man, and because his son's family was away all the year round, so at this time, the fierce family was lively, and his face looked smiling.
At this time, when Zhang Yu and I came back so late, and heard us talk about the haunting of the mourning hall, he couldn't help but sigh, while comforting us, he was busy taking out eggs from the chicken coop at home and ordering us a pot of delicious egg noodles for supper.
The taste of Lao Yangtou is very unique, perhaps this is the unique taste in Dabie Mountain, and the egg noodles with aged vinegar and small sesame oil are particularly fragrant.
Tang Ruyi chatted while eating noodles: "Our uncle doesn't know what's going on, why did he fall to his death on the mountain?" ”
Because Lao Yang was smoking his own dry tobacco on the side, we had to continue to play the role of a relative of the village chief Yang.
Zhang Yu took a bite of noodles and praised: "Uncle Yang's skills are really good, and he eats hard, but I see that there must be something strange in our uncle's death, and I still don't believe that an old hunter can fall to his death on the mountain." ”
Just as we were chatting, Lao Yang Tou suddenly interjected:
"Sons, you guessed right, Village Chief Yang should have been killed."
Old Yang Tou is over seventy years old, and his face is full of mottled age spots, all of which are traces left by the ruthless years in the mountains, and only his eyes carved by the years are full of the wisdom of the old man.
I saw Lao Yang Tou say this, knowing that he knew more or less about some unknown secrets, I hurriedly put down my job and asked, "Old Uncle Yang, what do you mean by this?" Our village chief Yang was really killed? ”
Tang Ruyi and Zhang Yu also stopped their chopsticks and looked at Lao Yangtou, who spit out a puff of smoke and shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I found something very strange." ”
Old Yang closed his eyes and recalled, his eyes were a little cold, and he said: "You should know that the group of people who found the body of Village Chief Yang and sent it back to our mining village are all fresh faces, not nearby mountain people, and Village Chief Yang fell to death in the back mountain, you must know that if you want to enter the mountain, you must pass through our mining village, but a few of our old guys bask in the sun at the entrance of the village all day long, and we have never seen the group of people who sent Village Chief Yang back into the mountain." ”
Zhang Yu thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Maybe people are entering the mountain from the back mountain?" ”
Lao Yang Tou rolled up a dry cigarette in his mouth again, and then shook his head and said: "You don't know, you don't know, the heavy rain for several days last month caused flash floods, and the only bridge deck into the back mountain was smashed, and it is impossible for anyone to enter the mountain from the back mountain, understand?" ”
The three of us listened with a chill down our spines, if the group of people who sent Village Chief Yang back did not come in the right way, it was also Village Chief Yang who they killed, and then Village Chief Yang was angry because of the unknown death, and it was clear that he made so many evil things in the village.
We chatted with Lao Yang Tou for a few more words, and then Zhang Yu and I washed the pots and bowls before going to bed.
I didn't sleep very well that night, because the hexagram before setting off revealed a great omen, and the only village chief we were looking for who knew the location of Banjie Mountain fell to his death inexplicably, is all this just a coincidence? I vaguely felt that there was a large, invisible net coming towards me.
I always thought that something would happen in the village, and sure enough, the next day it proved my suspicion.
Early in the morning, the village was chattering with the sound of women's gossip, and the voice of a widow with a loud voice was very penetrating.
"Have you heard? Mrs. Ma's house was haunted last night, and now she is clamoring to move! ”
Then another woman, whose voice was no weaker than that of a widow, answered: "Who says it isn't? I heard that I moved to my niece early in the morning. ”
The widow spat on the ground and mocked: "I see, this old lady Ma deserves it, yesterday Mr. Yin Yang asked her to move, she didn't move, maybe,"
The widow paused when she said this, and said with a wicked smile: "Haha, maybe she is waiting for our village chief Yang to meet the old lover privately, but I didn't expect that I was too scared to open the door, you said yes?" ”
They all say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and I see that the widow herself has many broken mouths.
Fortunately, the widow's mouth was broken enough, and I finally knew what was going on from her words.
It turned out that in addition to the mourning hall last night, Mrs. Ma's family also had an accident.
She met a ghost knocking on the door!
