Li Daoxuan's mind suddenly appeared the words that Wu Fa said yesterday afternoon.

He still suspected that Zhou Yaya was a ghost.

At first, it was Zhou Yaya's father who died, then her mother, and now her second uncle, and these ...... She was there.

Li Daoxuan only felt a chill behind him, he wouldn't really be like Wu Fa said, Zhou Yaya was actually the ...... Ghost.

"Bang-"

The wooden door was slammed open by a strong man, and as soon as he entered, he said with great excitement: "Apprentice, what did I say! I'll just say! I'll just say she's the ghost!! ”

Wu Fa was very excited.

Mother Li, who was originally in the house, quietly withdrew.

Li Daoxuan got up from the bed and got dressed, "What do the people in the village say?" ”

"Uh...... I don't know this yet, but as soon as I heard about it, I came to you. ”

Do you remember me...... Li Daoxuan jumped a few times before shaking his collar, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

After solving his personal problems, Li Daoxuan took a steamed bun at random and ate it while walking.

"I already thought something was wrong with that girl, but you just didn't believe me, alas." Wu Fa shook his head.

"Did you bring a knife, Master?"

Li Daoxuan answered the question.

"Bring it, it's up to you to say."

Wu Fa pursed his lips, indicating that Li Daoxuan was completely nonsense.

"I mean, did you bring it to me?"

"This ...... Forgot. ”

Li Daoxuan ate a big steamed bun in a few bites, and choked a little, so he stopped, but this is the ...... He found that the people around him were actually looking at him.

No...... To be precise, he was looking at Wu Fa.

And there was a hint of disbelief and ...... in their eyes Fear.

What's going on?

Li Daoxuan looked around, only to find that there were four or five people behind him, and when he looked back, they were so frightened that they scattered around.

Is there something wrong with me?

Li Daoxuan also looked up and down at himself, but he didn't find any problems, he looked at Wu Fa again, and he was all right......

"Uncle Zhuzi, what's wrong? Why are you all looking at us like that? ”

Li Daoxuan stepped forward and asked out loud.

"Huh!"

The man who was called Uncle Zhu by Li Daoxuan was taken aback, took a few steps back, and when he saw that the person in front of him was not Wu Fa, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then lowered his voice and said, "Daoxuan, why are you still following your master!" ”

"Huh? What happened to me following him? Any questions. ”

Li Daoxuan's face was puzzled and puzzled.

Uncle Zhu looked a little startled, and continued: "Don't you know, he's a ghost! ”

"What? He's the ghost! ”

The transformation came too quickly, and Li Daoxuan was startled and let out a voice in surprise.

Wu Fa, who was originally walking in front, also realized that Li Daoxuan hadn't followed, and turned around and scolded: "What are you still doing there, don't go faster." ”

Li Daoxuan hesitated a little, and Uncle Zhu pulled his sleeve again.

"I ...... I still have some business, Master, you can go over first. ”

"You coward!"

"If I knew that I wouldn't have called you, there would have been a lot of trouble." Wu Fa waved his hand impatiently, didn't wait any longer, and left in great strides.

It wasn't until he didn't see his back anymore that Li Daoxuan looked back at Uncle Zhuzi.

"Uncle, tell me about it."

Uncle Zhu nodded, "I also heard it, I heard that last night, Wu Fana suddenly broke into Zhou Cripple's house, like crazy, and still held an iron chain in his hand, yes, you are afraid that it is the iron chain used to tie pigs, so you put it on Zhou Cripple's neck." ”

"Talking about something while playing back, saying that I want to kill your pig, your pig should have died a long time ago."

"At that time, it frightened Zhou's lame family, Wu Fa, you know, the strength is not good, few men can't hold it down, that is Zhou's lame mother-in-law They can control it, the result is ...... The results are also clear to you. ”

The more Li Daoxuan listened, the more it was not like that.

Why did you make a fuss around, but the ghost came to your own master instead?

And although he and Wu Fa don't see each other every day, they also meet twice in three days, and they don't find anything wrong with him.

"Uncle Zhuzi, are you true or false? Impossible. ”

"How could it be impossible, when he killed someone last night, they all saw Xiao Liuzi, if it wasn't for the fact that he was too crazy, they would have pressed him down at that time."

Uncle Zhuzi's voice fluctuated high and low, obviously mastering the essence of gossip.

Li Daoxuan, who listened, was also stunned.

"Then the posture is ...... now"

"Don't follow, the Zhou family has pulled more than a dozen men over there, and no matter what you say, you have to restrain Wu Fa's murderer."

As if in response to what Uncle Zhu said, a loud roar from Wu Fa immediately came from the front.

Li Daoxuan subconsciously wanted to go, but after raising his leg, he stopped again, he didn't know what he was doing in the past.

If you save people, more than a dozen men are here, and you will definitely not be able to save them.

And in case...... What if Wu Fa is really a ghost?

But if he was indifferent in the past, how would he face Wu Fa.

It's hard to think about it, this feeling makes Li Daoxuan very irritable, and he really wants to stab him.

As for who to stab, he couldn't figure it out.

It's better to go to Zhou's house first to see what is going on.

Just do it, say goodbye to Uncle Zhuzi, walk through the streets and alleys, and before I get closer, I saw the Zhou family hanging white flags from a distance, as if it was a white thing.

People are really dead, and they can still do white things, which means that Zhou Yaya and the others should be fine.

But I still had to go over and take a look, and when Li Daoxuan got closer, the person who was hanging the white lantern at the door was instantly frightened and jumped down.

"You...... You are not Wu Fa's apprentice, you dare to come over! ”

A half-old hairy child, Li Daoxuan looked inside again, the men should have gone to arrest Wu Fa, and the rest of the room were some old and weak women and children.

Zhou Yaya was also there, and she also saw him.

Li Daoxuan instantly retracted his head, but Zhou Yaya had already seen him and ran over.

"Brother Li, I'...... I ......"

Her eyes were red, and she was obviously crying miserably.

In fact, it is true, at first there was no father, and in her opinion, it was her father or her mother who killed her.

Her mother died afterwards.

finally met a second uncle who was willing to take her in, but now, the second uncle is also dead...... The premise is that she is not a ghost and everything she says is true.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Zhou Yaya's head.

But after raising his hand, he was a little scared, so he took his hand back.

Li ...... Brother Li, do you also think I'm a mourning star? Zhou Yaya looked up, and at some point, she was already in tears.

"They all say that I am a mourning star, and I will die wherever I go......"

"No, it's not." Li Daoxuanqiang smiled: "Yaya, can you take me to see your second uncle's corpse, I have something I want to confirm." ”

At this point, there are different opinions on the word ghost, and Li Daoxuan also found that he has been led away by other people's statements, one will say that this is a ghost, and the other will say that it is a ghost.

But these are all said by others.

He felt that he should have his own judgment...... He didn't know why he suddenly felt this way.

He just felt as if this was his nature.

"Okay."

Zhou Yaya wiped the tears on her face, and then turned her head and entered the house.

Li Daoxuan followed closely, and the half-grown boy who hung the lantern at the door wanted to say something.

Li Daoxuan waved his fist at him, and the guy shut up.

When I entered the house, there were cries everywhere.

The room was not big, and the mourning hall was also pressed into the hall, and Zhou Yaya explained in a low voice: "I haven't found a suitable coffin yet, second uncle...... He was still in the room. ”

Li Daoxuan followed in, and a woman was still burning paper money at the bedside, sobbing again and again.

Hearing the footsteps coming in, she subconsciously turned around, and when she saw that it was Li Daoxuan, she just wanted to scold, but when she thought of something, her face turned pale.

"You...... You won't be ......."

Li Daoxuan ignored it, but suppressed his heart palpitations, and stepped forward to lift the quilt to take a look.

Zhou Cripple was lying on the bed with a pale face, with a dead face, but Li Daoxuan focused on his neck......

But when he saw it clearly, his face changed greatly, and he even took a few steps back in a panic.

Because there is a clear strangulation mark on Zhou's cripple neck, it is not a rope, but a ...... Chains.

In this small Huangliang village, there are few households that can have iron chains at home, because they are too expensive to buy, and because they are too little to use.

Wu Fa had to do this because of the pig killer.

Reminiscent of what Uncle Zhu just said...... Li Daoxuan looked at the woman who was still afraid in front of him and asked, "It's really me who killed someone...... My Master? ”

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?!"

"So many people are watching, what else do you want to quibble."

The woman was still screaming, but Li Daoxuan had already run out.

Zhou Yaya also hurriedly followed, and it wasn't until she went out of the door and came to the open space that she said fearfully: "Brother Li, is that ghost possessed Wu ...... Wu, on him? ”

"I don't know, it's possible."

Li Daoxuan lowered his head, making it impossible to see his face.

He kept thinking about it in his mind, wanting to see if there had been any changes in Wu Fa during this period of time.

"You go back first, I'll go for a walk alone."

Regardless of whether Zhou Yaya heard it or not, Li Daoxuan walked away alone.

Walking aimlessly, reminiscing while walking, in a trance, Li Daoxuan stopped.

I don't know if I don't think about it, but when I think about it, I really think about something wrong with him.

I remember that when I first went, I once heard Aunt Wu complain, saying that the master always couldn't remember things.

For example, once I made an appointment to kill a pig, but I forgot it in a blink of an eye.

For this reason, Aunt Wu quarreled with him a lot, but surprisingly, he took the initiative to remember it again after a few days.

Although he was forgetful, he never delayed because of this, and Aunt Wu didn't care about it.

When he said this, even if he had a bottom on Li Daoxuan in advance, so that he could have a score in his heart.

Later, Li Daoxuan did find out that Wu Fa sometimes couldn't remember things...... But often after a few days, I suddenly remember it again.

It's just that with Aunt Wu's reminder to him in advance, he really hasn't taken this matter to heart.

But now that I think about it...... Wu Fa killed Zhou's cripple, it is really possible.

He killed.

He couldn't remember......

Unconsciously, Li Daoxuan actually came to this mountain temple again.

It was here that he said goodbye to Liang Mi, and it was here that he met Zhou Yaya, and learned from her that there were ghosts in the village.

After a little hesitation, Li Daoxuan still walked in.

Walked into this long-lost mountain temple.

The clay statue is dilapidated, and you can vaguely see the straw stuffed inside the statue, and the shrine has long since disappeared, leaving only the mud of the mountain god, who kicked it under the table.

The pile of straw in the corner had long since rotted, and the ground was overgrown with weeds.

Only then did Li Daoxuan remember that he seemed to have never seen what this mountain god looked like.

He was about to bend down to pick it up and take a look, but suddenly found that it was dark in the mountain temple, and he was startled and hurriedly looked back.

It was a woman with hay in her arms.

"Mother, why are you here?" Li Daoxuan was surprised.

Mother Li replied, "Now that Wu Fa has been tied under the old locust tree at the head of the village with that iron chain, it is time for you to know some things." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Daoxuan felt that today's old lady seemed to be a little strange.

"Do you know how Cripple Zhou died?"

"Division...... Wu Fa's hand was moved, he killed, he strangled with chains. ”

Although he still has some doubts, all the evidence in front of him says so, and Li Daoxuan can only believe it.

"That's how your father died."

Mother Li said calmly.

"What?!"

Li Daoxuan's eyes glared at the boss, and he was even about to bulge out, "Mother, do you mean to say that my father was also strangled by Wu Fa with an iron chain?" Can...... Then why did you let me learn how to kill pigs from him?! ”

"Isn't this a confession of a thief as a father?!"

Mother Li continued: "The reason why he killed your father was because he wanted you to learn to kill pigs with him...... And he killed our whole family. ”

"......"

Li Daoxuan was very anxious, and felt that there was a problem everywhere, but he just couldn't find it.

"The hay in my hand is just to burn him, and it's time for him to die after killing so many people."

Mother Li said, shaking the hay under her armpits.

Suddenly, Li Daoxuan looked in the direction of the entrance of the village and muttered, "Maybe not." ”

"Look!"

Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the entrance of the village, where billowing black smoke was rising.

Mother Li threw away the hay in her hand and immediately ran towards the village, Li Daoxuan glanced back and hurriedly followed.

And just after he was gone.

The mountain god, who was lying under the table, suddenly turned his head and looked at the door with stunned eyes, and then a mouse ran out from behind it, and "chirp" and burrowed into the hole in the corner.

The mountain god grinned and smiled.

If Li Daoxuan is here, he will definitely find out what this mountain god looks like...... It turned out to be familiar.

When Li Daoxuan helped his wife to the entrance of the village, the fire was raging and had become an inextinguishable trend.

Wu Fa, who is obese, has a lot of fat in his body, which can withstand the burning very much, and the raging fire even ignites the old locust tree.

The smell of meat overflowed, attracting the dogs of the village.

Desire to go up and stop.

Li Daoxuan also saw that Aunt Wu was kneeling at the intersection with her daughter, crying inhumanly.

Mother Li stood aside and muttered, "Good death, good death." ”

When Li Daoxuan looked at it, he found that his wife had burst into tears.

Wu Fa died, and did not avenge him.

Zhou Cripple also died, and after the Zhou family handled the funeral for him, Zhou Yaya still lived with her aunt.

And the errand of the butcher in Huangliang Village naturally fell on Li Daoxuan, and even the pig-killing knife he used was still Wu Fa's.

After Wu Fa died, the village seemed to have calmed down again.

But Li Daoxuan always felt that something was missing......

……

Two months later.

It's night.

Li Daoxuan, who killed a pig for the Gu family, lay on the bed early.

There is no way, it used to be two people who killed pigs together, so they had a helper, but now they have to go into battle by themselves, and they are tired.

But Li Daoxuan, who had just been lying down for a long time, heard a knock on the door.

"Boom-"

"Knock-"

Before he could sleep, he immediately sat up, and he couldn't help but think of what Wu Fa told him, and what happened to Wu Fa.

He touched the side, and the pig-killing knife was still there, and he suddenly strengthened his courage.

"Who?"

He shouted.

There was a response from outside the door, "Brother Daoxuan, it's my ......"

"Who?"

Li Daoxuan got up in a bone, and it was hard to hide the shock in his eyes, because this voice was ...... Liang Mi!

"It's me, Liang Mi, Brother Daoxuan, don't you remember me?"

A voice came from outside the door.

Li Daoxuan just wanted to go out, but after a little hesitation, he still hid the pig-killing knife behind his waist, and when he came to the hall, he first lit the oil lamp, and the dim light filled the room, giving him a little sense of security.

When he took the bolted door stick away, there was no moonlight, and it was pitch black outside, except for a young man in a green shirt and carrying a bookcase standing outside.

He was about as tall as Li Daoxuan's chest, with a hint of childishness on his face.

Stand straight.

Li Daoxuan immediately opened the door, "Are you ...... Liang Mi? ”

Liang Mi smiled, "Why, Brother Dao Xuan can't even recognize me?" ”

"I don't recognize it."

Li Daoxuan told the truth, and looked up and down in the dim light, "Your change is also great." ”

Two years ago, he was a little hairy boy who followed his ass and had a runny nose all day long, but now he is carrying a bookcase and has become a white little scholar.

This change...... It's kind of scary.

It's like a different person.

Liang Mi tightened the rope of the bookcase, "I met a kind gentleman outside, and when he saw that I was pitiful, he took me in, and I went to school with him for the past two years." ”

"That's pretty good."

Li Daoxuan welcomed Liang Mi in, "You just came back?" ”

"Yes, I just went to my house, and I found that I really can't live there, and I really have nowhere to go, so I can only come to Brother Xuan."

Looking at the young man who was quite cramped in front of him and had a hint of agility in his eyes, Li Daoxuan finally confirmed that he was still the slug Liang Mi he used to be.

"Sit, sit down and say, have you eaten, haven't you eaten, I'll give you something to eat."

After a long absence, Li Daoxuan is still very happy.

Xu heard the movement, and the voice of Li's mother also came from the other room.

"Son, who are you talking to?"

"Liang Mi." Li Daoxuan replied with a smile: "Liang Mi, that little slug is back." ”

There was no echo from inside the house, just the sound of "squirping".

Li Daoxuan was a little puzzled, so he didn't rush to the kitchen, but waited for a while.

Mother Li opened the door, but not much.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Liang Mi."

Li Daoxuan looked at the young man sitting in front of him with some doubts.

"You mean, the baby who has a family?"

Li Daoxuan thought about it, and Liang Mi's father seemed to be called Liang Dayou, so he nodded.

A hint of panic flashed in Mother Li's eyes.

"He's a family of three...... Didn't they all die in the fire that year? ”

Li Daoxuan looked at Liang Mi abruptly.

The latter was still carrying a bookcase with a smile on his face.

"Brother Daoxuan, do you think I look like a human?"
