The years of reselling the haunted house

Not long after falling on the bed, I fell into a deep sleep.

I slept until the next morning, when someone came and asked us to go to dinner again, the same person was at Xu Changhe’s house, and the same people were present.

Only this time, I have more or less dealt with these people here.

But on their faces, they all looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing us coming, Xu Changhe smiled: "Did you sleep well last night?"

I nodded: "Grandpa Xu, very good, just as comfortable as my own home."

Chapter 318 Xu Family Ancestral Hall

Although this village doesn't look rich, the meals that entertained me were extremely rich.

But just like last time, Pang Dahai and I didn't eat much, but these people took this opportunity to feast on it, and the food was full and mouthful.A large table full of dishes was eaten up by these few people.Looking at the messy cups and plates on the table, it makes me very puzzled.The gang's attitude toward these goodies seems to be beyond our comprehension.

In the end, it was me and Pang Dahai watching them eat again.Fortunately, they didn't bring out that kind of blood spring eggs for us to eat again this time, which also saved a lot of trouble.

Seeing that the meal was almost finished, I got up and said goodbye.Those five people glanced at each other, Xu Changhe nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to call you after dinner."

The two of us walked out of Xu Changhe's house, and we both let out a sigh of relief.Coming out of here always feels like a narrow escape.Pang Dahai said: "Boss, it's really awkward to eat with them, all of them are reincarnated like starving ghosts. How about we cook and eat by ourselves?"

I shook my head: "Haven't you seen it? They took the opportunity to find us for dinner to monitor us in a disguised form. Let's come out now, and try to find someone to ask where Wang Po lives before dinner."

The two of us left Xu Changhe's house and started wandering around the village.

The villagers of Shoushantun once again returned to their original appearance during the day.Everyone was listless, walking as if they were about to fall asleep.

We found a few old men who were alone. They were either standing under the tree in a daze, or sitting on the rocks looking at the sky, and they were just eating and waiting to die.

And when we went up to talk to them, their responses were also half a beat behind.The language ability seems to have been lost. Our side is in a hurry, but they are indifferent, as if they can't understand the words.

There are many old trees in the village, almost every few steps, there is a towering old tree.The huge tree shade almost covers the entire Shoushantun, so even in the daytime, walking here feels chilly.

I wandered around with Pang Dahai for a long time, but found nothing about Wang Po.

Pang Dahai muttered: "Boss, except for those five, are all these people idiots? Why can't they even understand a complete sentence?"

"Crazy is not crazy, stupid is not stupid, ride a white horse all the way west, dust to dust, dust to dust, facing the west to worship the Queen Mother..."

Suddenly someone was chanting this set of words, and the sound came to me and Pang Dahai's ears.

These two words, although the voice is not loud, sounds very weak, but I think it is much more fluent than others.So to hear someone say the full story is already exciting for us.

Pang Dahai and I looked around and found a white-haired old woman with a cane coming out from behind an old locust tree.

She should be quite old now, with a badly bent back, leaning on a cane in one hand and a basket in the other, as she staggered towards another direction.

And those two sentences, after they were read once, they were never read again.

Both Pang Dahai and I hesitated, not sure whether those two sentences were read by the old lady.And what these two words mean, I don't quite understand.

We were about to catch up and ask the old lady, when we saw Xu Changhe and other five people walking slowly from a distance.

Xu Meilu smiled all over her face and asked, "Good grandson, come with us somewhere?"

I was taken aback: "Where are you going?"

Xu Meilu said: "You'll know if you come with us, it's good for you, grandma won't lie to you, good boy..."

Xu Meilu spoke to me in a tone as if she was treating a child, which made me feel uncomfortable and got goosebumps all over my body.

Old Dog Xu snorted again: "Put away your tricks? Is it almost useful?"

Xu Meilu glared at Old Dog Xu with a very unsightly expression, and seemed about to quarrel again.

Xu Changhe coughed and gestured please to me.Although I don't know where they want to take me, I can't refuse, so I can only follow them to the southwest of the village.

Pang Dahai also wanted to follow, but Xu Ershu stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'm sorry, you can't go to this place, you are not qualified to go."

Pang Dahai stared: "Where can I not go? If this is the case, my boss will not go either, we must be together."

Xu Changhe said in a deep voice: "Shou Shan Tun has its own rules, these rules are set by Shou Shan Lord. You are an outsider, since you came with Young Master Yang, it is already an exception to let you enter the village. If you don't follow the rules, then please leave."

When Xu Changhe said these words, his tone was very calm, but I could clearly see a hint of malice in his eyes.To be honest, that look was a little frightening, and even I shivered involuntarily.These people are indeed not ordinary people, their appearance conceals too much.

"You..." Fatty still wanted to say a few words, so I quickly waved at Fatty: "Fatty, go back to your residence and wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go."

"Okay, boss, be careful."

Xu Ershu snorted coldly: "Joke, in our Shoushantun, why should we be careful? Can we still harm the grandson of Shoushan Lord?"

Xu Changhe waved his hand: "Ershu, stop talking. Let's go."

I turned my head and waved to Pang Dahai, and followed the five of them, continuing to walk southwest.

We walked a few hundred meters, bypassing an old willow tree, and there was an antique courtyard in front of us, with gray walls, gray tiles and gray gatehouse.

There is a plaque hanging on the gate tower: Xu Family Ancestral Hall.

I suddenly realized that this is the ancestral hall of the old Xu family.In other words, this is the place where Xu family ancestors are enshrined and sacrificed in peacetime.What did they bring me here for?Although I have some connections with Shoushantun, my surname is not Xu.

At this time, the five of them spread out, surrounded me in the middle, surrounded me and walked through the gate of the ancestral hall.This posture seems to be afraid that I will run away.

I suddenly had an ominous feeling.

They wanted me to eat that blood spring egg before, but I saw through this strategy and failed.Didn't they come up with another idea to deal with me?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking Xu Changhe in front of me: "Grandpa Xu, I'm not from your Xu family, why did you bring me to the ancestral hall?"

Uncharacteristically, Xu Changhe didn't answer my words, but had a serious expression on his face, as did the others.

Seeing their appearance, I was full of words, and I swallowed them before I could say them.

A group of them were familiar with the road, and led me through the nave to a hall behind.

At a glance, I saw dozens of memorial tablets placed on the altar in the hall.Behind the tablet is a statue of a god.

The statue is not very tall, it should be made of clay, with colorful paintings on the body, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

I naturally looked at the face of the god, but I was taken aback when I saw it.

Chapter 319 The Bound Statue

Because I saw the face of the idol, which looked like a person.

And this person, I am too familiar, because that person is clearly me.It's just that the face of the clay sculpture is very red, with a strong blood color.

It was not only this that surprised me, but also the posture of the statue, which made me horrified.

The statues of gods that are normally enshrined are all dignified, sitting or standing on the altar, not to mention majestic, but also majestic and solemn.But the statue I saw was kneeling on the altar.

And with his hands behind his back, a rope was added to his body.

In other words, the statue is kneeling on the altar with its arms tied behind its back.This doesn't look like being enshrined by others, but rather like atonement for the people under our altar.

I was stunned when I looked at the idol, and my body trembled involuntarily when I saw that familiar face.

Xu Changhe saw that I was a little uneasy, and explained from the side: "Don't be afraid, the one above is not you."

I was taken aback: "No...not me? Who is that?"

Xu Changhe sighed: "It's your grandfather, Li Shoushan."

"It's my grandfather?" I was even more surprised when I heard that.He hurriedly looked at the statue again, and carefully identified it.

After all, that face is not a photo, but a clay sculpture.So at first glance, it does look somewhat similar to me.But after Xu Changhe's reminder, I realized that it should be what my grandfather looked like when he was young.

Reminiscent of when people here met my grandfather, it was 50 years ago.Then the god statue above should be shaped according to the appearance of my grandfather 50 years ago.

Although the one on it was just a statue, seeing my grandfather kneeling on it with his hands cut behind his back, I couldn't help but felt a bit of sadness, more of an anger.

As far as I know, this kind of treatment may only be enjoyed by Qin Hui, Wang and others who framed Zhongliang Yuefei back then, right?They were carved into stone statues and knelt in front of the Yuewang Temple. They were reviled and left a bad reputation for thousands of years.

But what kind of mistake did my grandpa make? He will also be made into a god and kneel on it. Does this mean that he will never stand up again.

At this time, I was a little angry, even though I came here, always be careful, and always act according to the faces of Xu Changhe and others, lest if I am a little careless, I will do something wrong and put myself in danger.But at this time, when I saw the statue of my grandfather, my mind was filled with anger, and I no longer considered the consequences.

With a sullen face, I turned around abruptly, stared at Xu Changhe and the other five people, and my eyes wandered over their faces.

Presumably my eyes were very fierce, and it actually made the expressions of these old fellows turn cold.

"Grandpa Xu, why did you tie up my grandpa and kneel on it, you have to give me an explanation." In my opinion, grandpa has left me. At this time, the statue above is not just a clay statue, but Grandpa's incarnation.Even if my ability is limited, I will do my best to seek justice for grandpa.

While questioning Xu Changhe, I also clenched my fist and moved a step in front of him.

Xu Changhe was also forced to take a small step back by my momentum, but he immediately calmed down.

"Li Yang, calm down, we brought you here to solve this matter. We didn't set up this statue..."

I was taken aback: "Didn't you set it up? Who set it up? Is there anyone else in this village?"

Xu Changhe smiled wryly and said: "If it was erected by us, why would we bring you here for you to see? Isn't this just asking for trouble? Believe it or not, I will tell you that this statue was erected by your grandfather himself back then of."

"What are you kidding?" After hearing Xu Changhe's explanation, I thought it was a fantasy. Grandpa's brain is broken?Do you want to stand here like that?

"It's a long story. If you want to hear it, we can tell you about it..."

I nodded, seeing that Xu Changhe might want to talk about his grandfather's past.And I don't know anything about my grandfather's time in Shoushantun, which is very attractive to me.

Xu Changhe hesitated to speak, and turned his head to look at those people: "I'm going to talk to the grandson of Lord Shoushan about the past, do you want to go outside and watch?"

The few people looked at each other without moving.

Xu Changhe sighed: "There is no need for everyone to stay here, if you are worried, how about letting Dongyang stay?"

Only then did those few people hesitantly walk out of the ancestral hall.Only me, Xu Changhe, and Xu Dongyang were left in the room.

I couldn't help but glanced at the statue again. Surprisingly, the eyes on the statue were staring at me closely.That kind of look is totally not what should be on a clay sculpture.The eyes of the clay sculpture should have a shape, big and lifeless.But the eyes I saw should only be found in living people.

How can this be?

Fearing that I might make a mistake, I quickly rubbed my eyes. When I looked over again, I found that the eyes had turned into clay sculptures again.

Xu Changhe noticed something strange and asked me, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head and continued rubbing my eyes: "It's okay, something flew into my eyes."

Xu Changhe thought that I was still sad about Grandpa's clay sculpture, and hurriedly explained: "Don't be sad, trust us, your grandpa really set it up by himself."

I nodded: "Master Xu, please tell me what happened back then."

Xu Changhe said: "Actually, it's not complicated. Your grandfather saved our entire village back then, so we all respectfully called him Lord Shoushan and renamed the village Shoushantun..."

What Xu Changhe said, I have already considered it myself. It is because my grandfather saved the village that I am called Young Master Yang when I am here.What I want to know is how my grandfather saved the village, why he left the village, and why he left me a map for future generations to find.

But Xu Changhe didn't go into details about these things. He changed the subject and continued: "After your grandfather saved our village, the people in the village were very grateful to him, and almost regarded Shoushan Lord as a god. But at that time, due to some The reason, your grandfather told us that if you want to survive, you must not leave this village for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you will repeat the same mistakes and the whole village will be destroyed. This is a curse, a curse that has lasted for hundreds of years. No one can escape this curse."

"Is there such a thing? Is this what my grandfather said?" I asked in surprise. Compared with the theory of ghosts and gods, this kind of curse is even more unbelievable.As long as I can remember, I have never heard my grandfather say that he still understands these things.

Xu Changhe nodded: "It's absolutely true. The villagers here didn't believe it at the time. They said that Grandpa was alarmist and that he had ulterior motives in preventing the villagers from leaving the village."

I snorted coldly: "Grandpa just saved your village, and you just said that about him. The heart of this villager is really unpredictable..."

My sarcasm made Xu Changhe's old face blush, and he said with a sneer: "Actually, the villagers have their own ideas, and if no one is allowed to leave the small Shoushantun for the rest of their lives, I think everyone will have an idea. At that time, everyone was too anxious to say that.”

Chapter 320 Old Village Taboo

"So... is there such a thing as a curse?" I asked.

Xu Changhe and Xu Dongyang glanced at each other, and Xu Changhe nodded at me: "What your grandfather said is true, our village has indeed fallen into a curse. For so many years, we have never dared to leave Shoushantun for half a step. See Are there those two ancient trees at the entrance of our village? That is the boundary between our village and the outside world, even though the gate is open all year round, no one dares to take half a step out."

I know that gate, I really noticed it when I came in, and I was very impressed with that gatehouse.The two big trees are intertwined with each other to form a gatehouse.It turns out that it's not just a gatehouse, it also acts as a boundary.

"Master Xu, in all these years, no one has left your village?" I still don't quite believe Xu Changhe's words. Just using a curse can bind the legs of everyone in a village. It's a bit unbelievable to say it. up.

Xu Changhe smiled wryly: "That's a good question. Back then, we were all young people with full vigor. How could it be possible that we didn't dare to leave the village because of your grandfather's words? After your grandfather told us about the taboos in our village, There were two young men who didn't believe in evil, like a demonstration, walked out from under the gate..."

"what's the result?"

Xu Changhe paused for a moment, a trace of fear appeared on his face.It seems that after decades, he still doesn't want to think about the scene at that time.If I hadn't asked here, he would rather keep the past in his heart forever.

Xu Changhe took a deep breath and said, "Those two juniors walked out of the gatehouse from the village. They walked five or six meters, and nothing happened. They turned around and yelled at the crowd, saying that your grandpa It was all nonsense, saying that your grandpa is a liar. As a result... before they finished speaking, their whole bodies suddenly convulsed. Their bodies trembled like sifting chaff, and terrible screams came out of their mouths. The screams were extremely miserable , Listening to it makes the scalp numb."

Speaking of this, Xu Changhe's body also trembled twice in a row, and his voice trembled involuntarily: "They... After they shouted a few times at the top of their lungs, their bodies fell to the ground like a puddle of mud. Their hands and feet We used it together and began to crawl desperately into the village... But we stood at the entrance of the village and watched their bodies crumble bit by bit. On their crawling route, there were all pieces of meat that fell from their bodies. Later...they, they turned into a skeleton...but that skeleton was still desperately crawling towards the entrance of the village..."

Xu Changhe spoke slowly, but what he said was enough to make me feel horrified.His own complexion was also very ugly, because the person who turned into a skeleton must also be a member of the Xu family.They watched the well-behaved clansmen turn into withered bones, and their psychology must have been devastated.So much so that he was still moved when he said it after 50 years.

"Are they... are they cursed?" I asked.

Xu Changhe nodded: "When they were about to crawl into the entrance of the village, your grandfather shouted loudly, don't let them enter the village, or the whole village will die. Only this time, the people in the village believed your grandfather, and each carried a wooden Sticks and farming tools. When the two people were about to climb into the village entrance, a stick smashed their skeletons. In the end, your grandfather left the village and helped dispose of the two skeletons. This is the first attempt, the second The second time was a month later. At that time, we were trapped in the village for more than a month, and another person couldn't hold back, and ventured out of the village in the dark. As a result, everyone in our village heard that person outside the village that night. Howling, his fate is the same. Now the villagers finally believe in this curse, and no one dares to take half a step out of the village entrance."
