We quietly listened to Lao Yangtou's words, and we all fell into deep thought. It stands to reason that a person who is dead is dead and should no longer be seen. But Lao Yang Tou was convinced that what people saw was Hu Xiuying, and he had also seen it with his own eyes, and Hu Xiuying's death method also made it easy for people to believe that she would turn into a ghost and come back, after all, since ancient times, people have said that the locust tree is an extremely yin thing, and it is normal to summon spirits. But we still didn't want to believe it, Zhang Shi immediately slapped the table: "Let's see what this haunting is going on today!"

I nodded, "It happens to be night, if it's really as the uncle said, then Hu Xiuying should be coming out soon." ”

Hua Man was a little timid, he craned his neck and whispered, "Will we be disrespectful to the dead like this?" I think we should leave this matter alone, stay here for the night, and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Zhang Shi smiled, "It's rare that there is something we want to do with you but don't want to meddle with it, this matter, we have to take care of it today! Otherwise, we will suffocate all the way!"

I replied: "Yes, we must be involved in this matter today, uncle, today, we will not borrow this night, you will close the door later, and leave the rest of the matter alone." ”

Old Yang opened his mouth, wanted to say something, and shook his head again, "Let it be, my old man can't control you, but you must be careful, it's not good to die outside." ”

We thanked the old man for his kindness, asked him for some food, and went out to wait under the locust tree.

But we waited for a long time, and we didn't see the so-called ghost appear. My head drooped for a while, Zhang Shi and Hua Man were also in a similar state, seeing that it was about to be the third watch, I refreshed myself and called the two of them, "Forget it, I think we can't wait for that ghost today, let's find a place to sleep." ”

Zhang Shi and Hua Man both nodded, we simply cleaned up and found a shelter to sleep in.

When I woke up, the sun was already very high, and I woke up the two of them and walked to Lao Yangtou's house.

When we arrived at the door of Lao Yangtou's house, we knocked on the door, and the door was pushed open, and Lao Yangtou saw us, showed a surprised expression, and said to us, "You are not dead?"

I laughed, "Of course we three big living people are not dead!"

"And who died last night?"

We were shocked, "What? Someone died last night?"

"Yes, I heard early in the morning that three people died under the locust tree, and I thought it was you, and I was about to go over and have a look. ”

I pondered for a while, and then said to the old Yang Tou, "Let's go to the locust tree now." ”

When we got to the old locust tree, we saw a bunch of people arguing and shouting, we walked up and saw three people lying on the ground, all dead, but only one person had wounds, and all three of them had a frightened expression, as if they were scared to death by something.

I was looking at the three people in a daze, Hua Man suddenly rushed to the corpse, pointed to the injured person, and said, "This is our family's Ding Dafu!"

I looked over and saw that person I had indeed seen at Hua's house, but the other two didn't know each other, so I asked Huaman again, "What about the other two?"

Hua Man shook his head, "I don't know the other two either." ”

I asked Lao Yang again: "Do you know those two?"

Lao Yang waved his hand: "I don't know either, they are not from our village." ”

There was a fog over the matter, these three men apparently died shortly after we left, but they weren't from the village, and one of them was a member of the Hua Man's family, what was he here for? What about the other two? How did they die?

Because the body was unclaimed, the villagers had to report to the official, and the government did not do anything, they only thought that these three people were killed by ghosts, and buried the people in a hurry, and Huaman left the body of Dafu, and the three of us buried him.

We asked people who had seen Hu Xiuying everywhere, and this time there was Lao Yangtou, and although the villagers were still not happy, they still told us about the situation.

They are all sure that it was Hu Xiuying who came out to make trouble at night, and they all saw it really well.

At this time, Zhang Shi suddenly put forward an idea: Could Hu Xiuying not die at all? But this idea was quickly overturned, Hu Xiuying was indeed hanged, and the presumptuous work was also checked at that time, and the villagers had already buried her.

But I don't know why, after Zhang Shi said this, the thought that Hu Xiuying didn't die has always been in my mind, lingering.

So I beckoned Zhang Shi and Hua Man, found the head of the village, and told him my idea: dig up Hu Xiuying's grave and see if the body is still there.

The village chief scolded us at that time: "You three are really brutes! That Hu Xiuying is dead, I saw it with my own eyes, and I personally presided over her burial, can there be a fake? In my opinion, this matter is that Hu Xiuying's ghost is still ghostly, and she has come back to take revenge, and you are going to dig her grave again, isn't this deliberately provoking her anger? I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, and if you have nothing to do, hurry away!"

We rubbed our noses in ashes, but we were unwilling to let this matter go, but Lao Yang was unwilling to tell us where Hu Xiuying's grave was, and others were even more unwilling. When he was at a loss, Hua Man suddenly remembered a person.

When he left, he gave us a wooden whistle, saying that as soon as he blew this, he would come, and we didn't know if this wooden whistle really worked, but with the heart of trying it out, I took out the wooden whistle and blew it.

The wooden whistle made a high-pitched sound, and we knew that even if this thing worked, Kong Mo would not be able to reach it for a while, and just as we were about to do something else, suddenly the same sound came from a distance, and then there was no movement. It seems that Kong Mo has received our news, and the whistle is his response, and it will not be long before Kong Mo arrives.

We weren't in a hurry, and before the matter was figured out, we didn't have the idea of going out at night to find out for the time being, so we stayed at Lao Yangtou's house.

Three days later, we heard another whistle, this time very close, as if it was blowing close to our ears, and when we reached the entrance of the village, we saw Kong Mo.

We told Kong Mo the general situation of the matter, and Kong Mo asked us to lead him to Hu Xiuying's house and the location of the big locust tree, and then he took us to find a hillside, he looked down from there, and put on a high-ranking posture, after a while, the corner of his mouth hooked, and he arched his hand to us: "Benefactor, where is Hu Xiuying's grave, I already know." ”
