When the child walked out of the door, Sister-in-law Zhang spoke: "Uncle Pole, Aunt Orchid, you also know that Chunhua's in-laws were gone some time ago, and her in-laws' relatives over there didn't help them, but they also joined forces to calculate Chunhua's yard together."

Don't you know, that clan uncle lied that Chunhua's in-laws borrowed five taels of silver from them when they built a house, and there were clan elders there to help, and the village chief of Yuliang Village was even more clearly helping his father-in-law, didn't Chunhua and her orphans and widows have no way to live......

If it weren't for the Yang family's sister passing by, reaching out to help, and asking the yard to be bought and given to the silver at the price, we don't know what would happen to the mother and son.

Since we are back, we will definitely not go back there, so we think that we will simply go back to the village and buy a yard, and then we will come back and settle down. ”

As soon as Zhang Zhuzi and his family heard this, they knew what it meant, this was to buy their yard.

Before they came over, they put down the words that the yard over there was to be sold, and it was dragged to the two of them at that time, and they wanted to buy it for Chunhua's mother and son.

After all, it is the place where they have lived for most of their lives, and they still have feelings, and if they sell it to a stranger who has a bad relationship, or they don't know each other, they will feel a little uncomfortable, which is better for children who have seen them grow up since childhood.

Zhang Gongzi said directly: "It's better for Chunhua to go and live in my yard, that's where we have lived for half our lives, and we usually live in love, if this is sold to someone I don't know, I still feel a little uncomfortable."

Well, now the spring flowers are the ones we have seen since childhood, capable and clean, and we will be happy with the house for you......"

After that, I said that the price was known before, it was not expensive, and there was no need to bargain or anything, just set a date to go to the town to re-open a real estate deed.

After that, Qian Yan inquired about the dead children.

Zhang Chunhua's aunt and sister-in-law were also curious, and they also wanted to know what happened next, after all, there was no entertainment, and everyone liked to gossip about what happened in the surrounding villages.

When the old couple saw that they wanted to hear it, they whispered to them.

The reason why it was whispered was because a child was killed in the family next door, and I was afraid that people would hear them say that they felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Gongzi said: "You also know why we moved here, we came with Liugen's coffin, and after coming, the senior monk of Lingguang Temple also gave Liugen a night of ritual excess, which was buried at the entrance of the back mountain."

Just to the left of the entrance, a tombstone was erected.

To be honest, we have no adults to leave our roots, and we can only bury them in the ground at will, and we can't even enter the ancestral grave.

Now although it is said that it is to suppress the ghosts, at least the tomb has been made in a dignified manner, and a monument has been erected, and in the future, the people of Shanggang Village will go there to worship in the season, and we will be relieved when we die.

Hey, that's a big deal, you want to hear about the past, I really know that.

After the children were buried, Xiaocui told us about those children.

The children had gone out to play in the daytime, and never returned, and when the family went back in the evening, they found only a heartless corpse in the woods.

Not only did the children die in the same way, but the place where the bodies were found was the same, under a hundred-year-old elm tree in the back mountain.

It was discovered after the death of three children, and the strangeness was discovered when the third was found there.

If two of them die in the same place and die in the same way, it may be a coincidence, and all three are the same, then it must be intentional.

The child must have been caught and deliberately killed there, and then the village had some young men form a patrol to go there and watch it day and night, to see what kind of beast it was, or if it was a bad man.

It was day and night, and they surrounded it, staring at it, but the fourth and fifth children died there in the same way.

When the villagers asked the patrollers, they all said that they had not slept or left the country, but that they had been in a trance for a while when it was just dark, and that when they came back to their senses and lit the torches, the child's body was already there.

At first, everyone speculated whether they were drugged, otherwise they would not have heard the fourth child when he died.

The second time more men were deployed, one group continued to surround the area, and the other group patrolled the neighborhood, walking back and forth to see if there were any suspicious people moving in the mountains.

Even then, it was still not found, and as soon as the moon rose, there was an additional corpse there.

Only then did everyone think that it might be a ghost, so they went to Pingyuan County to find a monk to come and have a look.

As a result, as soon as the monk came, he said that there were indeed ghosts and monsters, but his Taoism was still shallow, and there was no way to solve the ghosts, so he could only find a way to suppress them, and then there was a matter of us leaving roots to move the tomb over......"

Qian Yan waited for Zhang Pole to finish before asking, "Were the five children killed next to each other?" One death a day? ”

If the interval is too long, those people can't stay there every day.

As for the sudden trance, it must have been done by the abbot, even if it is a half-demon, there must be some demon law, and it should be very easy to confuse a few people.

Zhang Zhuzi shook his head, "I don't know about this, but I know that the time of death is not far away, and it is all in those days." ”

"I know that."

The sudden female voice startled everyone, after all, she was secretly talking about it, and suddenly heard other voices, and thought the one next door heard it.

When they followed the prestige, they saw a young woman standing at the door with her grandson with a pole.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Chunhua stood up and walked over.

"Xiao Cui!"

"Sister Xiaocui!"

"Sister-in-law, Chunhua, you're here, it's really been a long time."

It turned out that Zhang Xiaocui came back, she was a few months older than Chunhua, so Zhang Chunhua kept calling her sister.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then introduced Qian Yan to her, and everyone returned to the previous topic.

"The five children did not die in the same month, but on the fifteenth day of each month, one in a month, and each of the five children died on the night of the fifth full moon......"

Qian Yan and Ugly said: "It is worthy of being a wolf demon, this is the same clan as the werewolf, and they all came out to commit murder on the night of the full moon." ”

Ugly: "You forgot what I told you?" The abbot's demon bloodline is the moonlit night wolf, and he originally liked to haunt when there was a moon at night. ”

Qian Yan: "So, the relocation of the root is a cover, and it doesn't have any special significance?" ”

Ugly: "I can also say no, I just took a look, there is no body in the tomb of the root, and the body doesn't know when it was taken away." ”

Tilt Yan: "No corpses? It can't be that half-demon who got rid of it, right? How hungry is it? I don't even let go of the corpses that have been dead for months! ”

Ugly secretly rolled his eyes, "What do you think?" It didn't necessarily take away the corpse just to eat, even if it was cold and the corpse was already rotting, what the other party should want was Zhang Liugen's soul.

Some souls can't be too far away from their own corpses, so the other party will take the corpses away together. ”

Qian Yan is now full of question marks, "What does the other party want Zhang Liugen's soul to do?" ”

If she wants a body, she may guess that the other party wants to give up, what is the use of this soul?

Ugly: "The soul of a special personality also has its particularity, like a person born in the lunar year, the moon and the cloud, the easiest to become a ghost cultivator, and it is also the object that ghost cultivators like to devour the most, which can be said to be a great supplement."

It should be the same when the sun is in the yang year, the moon and the sun, it is estimated that it is useful for demon cultivation, and this time can be used to interrogate the half-demon. ”

Tilting Yan suddenly, in this way, in addition to the fact that the half-demon really likes to eat people, it is very likely that it is also the introduction to move Zhang Liugen's grave over.

It is estimated that if you want to get the soul back, you must agree to Zhang Liugen himself or allow his close relatives, otherwise the other party will not go to such great lengths.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right and the best explanation.

At noon, they had lunch directly at Zhang Xiaocui's house, fortunately, they didn't come empty-handed when they came, after all, Zhang Gongzi was also their elder, so they bought some snacks in the town and brought them over.

It's just that the dim sum here is much rougher than that in the prefecture and county, that is, some mung bean cakes and the like, which look dry, but because there is oil and sugar in it, it is also rare for ordinary people.

I had already given it to the old couple when I got off the bus, so I wouldn't be too embarrassed to have lunch here.

Lin Dashan also came back at noon, he was a swarthy man in his twenties, and it was said that he was a good hunter, and he was relatively wealthy in Shanggang Village.

At noon, he ate the hare he had just brought back, and fried cabbage, and the staple food was mixed bread.

This can't be helped, white noodles are still relatively expensive here, and everyone will eat some during the New Year's holidays, and that is also a relatively wealthy family.

In contrast, Zhang Mancang's family conditions are still relatively good, after all, he is a craftsman in the town, and he is trained by Zhang Li as an heir, and his monthly salary is higher than that of ordinary men, and those who are masters will often make up for it.

And he can also take on some private work in the village by himself, that is, to help the village repair furniture and farm tools, even if it is from the same village, he will not let him do it in vain, and he will give some things.

After lunch, they didn't stay long, and left after finalizing the time to go to the town to apply for the deed, anyway, the old couple over there moved over, and there was no need to go back to the village.

During this period, Qian Yan covered the back mountain with her divine sense and looked at it, the village was halfway up the mountain, and the back mountain was the road to the top of the mountain.

Tilt Yan put the scope of divine sense exploration to the maximum, and did not read the whole mountain, this mountain does not look high, the area is still quite large, and the far north belongs to the range of Yungang Mountain, which is the largest mountain in the vicinity.

When they returned to the town, they went directly to the carpenter's shop, and then they saw that the shed on the carriage had been unloaded and placed on the ground beside it.

It is tied with hemp rope, so it is actually very easy to disassemble when unloading, but because it was made of sheepskin and straw curtains and oilcloth layer by layer, after unloading, a large pile was piled up there, and it looked quite messy.

Now the master and apprentice are repairing the transverse shaft and wheel spokes there, and the car has been turned over, and the ground is facing up.

They also replaced some cracked wood on the car that looked like it was going to rot, no way, this carriage was collected in the border barracks before Ugly Ugly, and it was still quite strong, but there were enough years.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Zhang Chunhua saw the mess on the ground, so they started to clean it up, whether it is a sheepskin or an oilcloth, these things can still be used, so it is not okay to throw them on the ground.

Fortunately, Zhang Mancang put all these on the straw mat, and the straw mat was underneath, and the sheepskin and oilcloth were not stained with dust.

And the leather mattresses on the top of the car were also put together, and they were folded and put aside, so that they could be brought back when they got home, and the car was repaired and then put on them.

As for the straw mat, Qian Yan decided not to do it, since she was going to make a new carriage, there was a high probability that the straw mat would not be needed.

The main thing is that those straw mats were covered on top before, and during this time, they were exposed to the wind and snow, and they were already a little rotten and deformed, so don't do it, anyway, they were all hand-woven before, she and Ugly will be, if you want to use it again in the future, just get some hay and weave it again.

Those wooden strips can also be used before, Zhang Mancang said that those woods are good, they are good wood, and they can also be used when making carriages later.

Zhang Li saw that they had nothing to do, so he stood there stupidly, so that they didn't have to spend it with them here, they could drive the donkey cart home first, after all, the four children were still a little cold in this shop, so it was better to be comfortable at home.

Although the house where he lived was just behind, it was only a hut, and the other rooms were full of timber and furniture for others, and they couldn't make a fire, and they had no place to stay.

He lived in an old bachelor's hut, and it was a mess, and he was embarrassed to let a few women in to rest.

As soon as the three of them were combined, it was indeed the same, so it was better to just go back, put those oilcloths and sheepskins on the car, plus the leather mattresses and sheepskin quilts, these things would also take up space here, so it was better to put them at home.

They did not drive the donkey cart back directly, but unloaded the donkey and replaced the big bear, or drove the wagon back.

It's not that I'm afraid of losing anything, but I'm very squeamish, and I won't listen to others, for fear that it won't be tossed around under my nose.

And this guy is also very picky about eating, he has to eat grass every day, and he has to drink warm water, so don't make trouble for others.

Got the four children together, took the money out of a half-finished box that was hiding from the children, and drove away together.
