The old man came to a thatched hut, turned his head and said, "We have arrived." ”

Then he shouted to the house: "Yun'er, there is a guest at home." ”

There was a sound from inside, "Daddy, did you bring that one back?" ”

Before the words fell, a man came out of it, and Qingde and I took a look, isn't this the middle-aged couple we met? Such a coincidence?

"Daddy is back, let's get ready for dinner!"

A woman inside said, and walked out after the man.

When they saw me and Qingde, they were just as surprised as we were.

It was the woman who reacted first, and preemptively said, "Why did you two come to my house?" Didn't I tell you to get out of here quickly! ”

The woman seemed to be afraid of the old man, but the old man coughed lightly, and the woman bowed her head and said no more.

The old man's son whispered to the old man, "Daddy, didn't I tell you?" Our village can't let outsiders in, why don't you listen to it! ”

The old man glared at his son and asked, "Which one said we don't allow outsiders here?" ”

"High Priest."

When the woman finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head, and the old man was about to get angry, but when he saw that we were present, he suppressed his anger and said, "High priest, high priest, you are high priests all day long, look what your high priest has made our stockade look like!" ”

Seeing that the old man was really angry, his son and daughter-in-law didn't dare to say more.

The old man turned his head and smiled at us and said, "It's okay, let's go, let's eat first." ”

As soon as he heard "eat", Qingde immediately came to his senses, and he didn't worry about whether the old man would harm people, so he came to the table, and began to gobble up as soon as he sat down.

I had nothing to do, and I wanted to tease him, so I whispered to him, "Didn't you just beat people up!" Why is it that the food is more delicious than anyone else! ”

Qing Desai's mouth was full of rice, and he even squirted and said: "Eat first and eat enough before you have strength." ”

For Qingde's behavior, I can only shake my head helplessly.

"Is Genber at home?"

While they were eating, someone shouted outside.

At this time, we learned that the old man's name was Genber, and he was the oldest and oldest in the whole village.

Genber beckoned us to continue eating, and he came outside.

"Yo, Noriko! Something? ”

The one named Kokiko looked inside, and when Genber saw this, he explained, "It's my friend inside, you can just say anything." ”

Only then did Xiao Kiko say: "The high priest asked me to come to you and say that I want to discuss with you about tomorrow's sacrifice." ”

Genber let out an "oh" first. Then he said, "Didn't I tell him a long time ago?" He can decide what he does, and he doesn't have to ask me. ”

Xiao Kiko said embarrassedly: "But the high priest said that this year is different from previous years, and he wants to ask you to go over and discuss, after all, you must know more about it in the past few years." ”

Genbo excused himself again and again, but Xiao Kiko just stayed at the door of the house and didn't leave, Genbo finally had no choice but to follow Xiao Kiko.

Before leaving, he said goodbye to us and told his son and daughter-in-law.

"They are my honored guests, you can't neglect them, or you will look good when I come back."

Seeing Genbo's serious face, Yunzi and his daughter-in-law did not dare to slack off, so they could only be obedient.

After Genber left, Qingde and I chatted with Yun'er and his daughter-in-law.

"Brother Yun, what did Genber do before? I find him to be well respected by you. ”

Hearing the praise of her father, Yun'er looked proud and said: "My father has traveled from south to north and south, and he is well-informed, so he is naturally respected by us. ”

Qingde said with a snort: "Then why is his right hand missing two fingers?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Yun'er was like a frosted eggplant, and sighed: "Alas! Not to mention, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and if you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts. ”

Yun'er and his daughter-in-law interjected: "Where is the ghost encountered, your father is the corpse chaser." ”

"Huh?"

Qingde and I opened our mouths and looked at Yun'er in horror.

Yun'er's eyes glared at his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law got up and left.

After his daughter-in-law left, Yun'er said: "That's right, my father was a corpse chaser in his early years, he wandered outside all the year round, in order to help the souls of the dead who died in a foreign land return to his hometown, he chose this line." ”

"What does that have to do with him missing two fingers?" I asked, puzzled.

Yun'er sighed: "Alas! Not to mention, that night, in accordance with the will of the deceased, he brought eight deceased people from Hebei back to Yunnan, and the pouring rain continued that night.

He and the corpses could only rest in a ruined temple, and that night a Taoist priest also came in to take shelter from the rain, two big living people and eight dead people, so the atmosphere of the scene did not need to be explained too much.

My father is a talker, he took the initiative to talk to the Taoist priest, and learned from the Taoist priest that the Taoist priest also went to Yunnan.

So my dad summed it up, how to go, not go! So he discussed with the Taoist priest to hurry together, and the Taoist priest did not refuse, and readily agreed.

Who knew that in the second half of the night, a gust of wind struck, and eight dead corpses were brushing around my father, and then looking at the Taoist priest, he was standing on the side, and he kept chanting incantations in his mouth.

After all, my father is an old Jianghu, and at a glance, he can see that the Taoist priest is using the Maoshan evil art - the corpse exorcism spell.

This corpse exorcism spell can manipulate corpses, allowing them to do whatever they want.

No matter how powerful my father is, he can't stand the beating of those dead corpses who don't know the pain. In the end, my father thought of pretending to be dead, and he began to lie motionless on the ground, and the Taoist priest did not give up, so he personally stepped forward to check.

Punching and kicking was not enough, he took out a dagger and cut off two of my father's fingers.

In order to survive, my father has been enduring it, and he didn't make a sound at all, which made the Taoist priest think that my father was dead.

It turned out that the Taoist priest was selling opium, and he was worried about being discovered, so he came up with a way to smuggle it with dead corpses.

In fact, he didn't meet my father by chance that day, but he had already stepped on it, but my father was simpler-hearted.

Since then, my father has returned to our village and never went out again. ”

"Daoist?" I am now very sensitive to the word "Taoist", and as long as I hear someone say it, I can't help but ask a few more questions.

"Do you know what he looks like?"

Yun'er shook her head and said, "My father said that it was too dark that night, and he didn't look carefully, but he only remembered that the Taoist priest had a black mole on his face, and he had six fingers. ”

"Six fingers?" My eyes lit up and I thought: it should be him.

"You know it's one side?"

Yun'er shook her head like a rattle. "I don't know, I forgot, when my dad comes back, you can ask him! Hopefully he'll know. ”
