The years of reselling the haunted house

The old Guantou guessed that he had kept this past in his heart for a long time, so he didn't hide anything at this time, and continued: "I put away the three bowls of noodles, and I hid again, it was after seven o'clock in the evening. I have been hiding behind the tree to observe, and there has been no movement there. There is no one in the cemetery, not even a ghost. The scent I made is so fragrant that I did not attract other wild cats and dogs. Later I was tired from watching, so I leaned against the tree and slowly drifted away. I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly heard a little movement. I hurriedly opened my eyes and looked, and I found that it was on the grave of Xingwang and Jinhua. A shadow appeared. I didn't think too much about it at the time, and I didn't feel any fear. I rubbed my eyes and watched carefully. As a result, I found that the shadow was not prosperous, nor golden flowers. Pour a bowl of noodles into a pocket. I was anxious at the time, thinking that it was the noodles I gave to Brother Xingwang and his sister-in-law and nephew. How could I let you, a thief who stole noodles, take it away? catch……"

Hearing this, I interjected: "It wasn't the time when you went, if there really are ghosts in that place, it's probably time for ghosts to haunt that place, Mr. Guan, you still said that you are not very courageous, now I see how courageous you are." Usually big."

The old Guantou waved his hand: "At that time, I was only under 40 years old. I didn't have a wife or children to worry about at home. I was not afraid of anything. The main reason was that I was angry when I saw someone stealing my face. If you want to say If you eat my noodles, you can come to me directly. You came here to steal the noodles of a dead person, and what you did was a bit dishonest. At that time, I didn't consider that the other party might be a ghost, because the figure looked very real, not at all like a ghost. Don't touch it."

I understand what the old Guantou means. In folk people's image of ghosts, maybe a thousand people will describe a thousand ghosts with different images.It is estimated that most of them are the kind with green faces and long fangs, the fierce and fierce ones.Thinking about it, how many people in the world can see real ghosts?

I signaled the old manager to continue, he nodded and said: "Later, I suppressed my urge, thinking that it must be the same person who stole face every time, I made the face for my brother's family, just let him It was stolen, and I couldn't get angry, so I followed him, wanting to see where he took my noodles. After he poured the three bowls of noodles into his pocket, he walked around the grave with his pocket and walked back, so I I followed him silently. At this time, I found that his walking posture was very light and effortless. I followed him and turned left and right, and soon came to a village..."

"Is it Yuantou Village?" I blurted in.

"That's right, it's that ghost village. I'm very surprised. I've lived here for so many years, but I didn't know there was a village in the back mountain. I was just wondering when I saw the man put the bag of noodles on the ground. Immediately, many people rushed out to snatch those noodles."

I laughed and said, "This shows that your old noodle is popular, not only people like it, but even ghosts like it. If you don't work in this mine, go out and continue selling noodles, you may earn more than being a miner."

The old Guantou shook his head: "Don't look at me as an ancestral cook of stewed noodles, but I don't like to do this in my heart. I was also young, that is, four or five years old, and my father forced me to learn it. Making noodles. When I was about ten years old, I was able to complete Sanyang stewed noodles independently. As a result, both my parents passed away, and I became an orphan, so I wandered around and stopped making noodles. I have made a living. Now I make noodles, it all depends on my mood, and I use it to make money. I never thought about it. Even if life is tight, I don’t want to use it to support my family. I am such a weird person. I have no relatives in my life. , I don’t have many friends, but I met Xingwang’s family, and they are all dead.”

I know that there are as many personalities as there are people, and there will be no identical personalities in the world.A weird person like Old Guan Tou may think differently from others.

I nodded and asked, "What happened then? Did you rush out?"

The old Guantou said: "Of course. I didn't think that what I saw was a ghost village. I thought I caught the thief stealing noodles, so I rushed out. You know, I was angry not because I threw away these bowls of noodles, but because I was angry. It was me who gave Xingwang their face, but someone stole it."

Of course I understand what old Guantou means, no matter how delicious the noodles are, no one will turn their faces for a few bowls of noodles.The old Guantou said that he had only one friend, and although the friend was dead, he wanted to seek justice for the deceased while he was still alive.

"I rushed out and yelled. As a result, those people looked back at me together and didn't feel too surprised. Instead, I felt dizzy and fell to the ground. At the moment when I was about to faint, I Seeing those people gathered around and smiling at me, it was very strange. Later, the faces of those people became more and more blurred, and I fainted. Then I had a dream, in the dream Someone told me that every three days before and after the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, I have to make some noodles and sell them here. Otherwise, I will not be able to live. I woke up soon, woke up At that time, I found myself lying in the wilderness, that is, the place where you saw a wooden shelf. Later, I inquired, and the wooden shelf was really a stage for the mining festival in Yuantou Village. But that Yuantou Village has been gone for many years. Only then did I realize that I had encountered a ghost."

Chapter 1246

After listening to the old Guantou's narration, I finally knew why there are those wooden shelves in the back mountain.

I thought that the wooden frame was originally a stage built by the villagers. One can imagine how grand and lively the mining festival would be that year.Now this Yuantou village has turned into a ghost village, and it has become an entrance and exit to the ghost market.

"It was easy after that. After I woke up, the dream was still very clear, and I remembered it very clearly. I knew that I had encountered a ghost, and I was afraid that they would really harm me, so I had to go to the 15th day of the first day. I started making noodles in the first three days, and every night I picked up that noodle stall and went to that ghost market. And every time I carry a load of noodles, I can always enter the ghost market, and I don’t need a pass, and those noodles are also very popular. The welcome of ghosts is sold out every time. It’s just that what I get is always ghost money. And I get these ghost money, and I will burn them again. It’s like this again and again, do you think it’s ridiculous?”

I shook my head, there's nothing funny about it.The theory of ghosts and gods does not have so many reasons to explain, and there are no rules to follow. Whatever happens should be expected.I thought that when the third uncle was searching in the old Guantou's room, he indeed found a box of Mingqian.This is in line with what the old Guantou said, the money was sold by him, and then he got it back from the ghost.

The old Guantou said again: "And after I entered the ghost fair, I found that after I sold out the noodles, I could go to a ghost show. I told you that I have loved listening to opera since I was a child. If I can be in a ghost fair Hearing the opera, I was really satisfied. More importantly, I found that the opera singer had a familiar figure every time. After identification, I found that she was Chen Jinhua. So I couldn't control it, and every time I appeared Even after the Ghost Fair, I am looking forward to the next Ghost Fair. Because I can see Jin Hua. Although she has already dressed up as a character in the play, she doesn’t know my existence, but I can watch it from the audience. She was very satisfied. But listening to a ghost show is different from being outside. No matter how good the singing is, you can't applaud it. Last time you made a taboo, thanks to Jinhua's quick wit, I put clothes on you again I just got away with it. I think you must want to know these things. Today I will tell you about it when I was in the ghost fair. After the ghost fair, don’t ask me again, and I won’t tell you. you anything."

I nodded: "Then why did you tell me this?"

The old Guantou said: "The time when I had an accident with Xingwang, I have always been worried about it. Xingwang also said that Ma Xianfeng is not a good person, and I have been investigating. Now that Ma Xianfeng is not here, the investigation is even more difficult. .You are now investigating the curse incident, I think if you can, help me figure this out and bring about justice."

The old manager didn't say much about his investigation of Ma Xianfeng.But I can see it, and I can guess it, he must have been running a lot.But his ability is limited, and there is almost no progress.The mine has changed owners over the years, and he has no place to investigate, so he entrusted this matter to us.

I questioned: "Uncle Guan, our investigation of the curse and the matter of Ma Xianfeng are two different things. If you can't investigate, we probably have nothing to do."

The old Guantou waved his hand: "No. These two things are related. Think about it. If Xingwang doesn't die, Chen Chen won't die either. If Chen Chen doesn't die, Chen Jinhua won't die either. If Chen Jinhua doesn't die, then the other four families won't die. Males don’t need to die either. Therefore, Xingwang’s death is the initial trigger. Once you understand this matter, Jinhua’s heart knot must be opened, because the real culprit will also appear. She If you don't blame the other four families, the curse will naturally be broken."

I understood what the old Guantou said, and followed his meaning and said, "That is to say, you suspect that someone deliberately harmed Sun Xingwang back then. The accident between you two was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster?"

The old manager nodded: "That's right, that's why I was skeptical, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence. It just happened that the two of us went down the well that day and something happened, and it happened to be just the two of us and no one else. I guess it was for the sake of prosperity." Yes, it’s just that I can’t go down the well alone, so I’m being implicated by Xingwang. Otherwise, Xingwang wouldn’t tell me that Ma Xianfeng is not a good person. Before he went down the well, he must have encountered something..."

After listening to the old manager, I said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Guan, it's really not whether I want to take care of this matter. If your matter is really a man-made disaster, it has to be classified as a criminal case. We are just Cultivators, who care about this matter, why didn't you call the police?"

The old manager shook his head: "For the time being, I can't call the police, because I have been working in the mine all these years, just to find some evidence. Without evidence, even if I call the police, it is useless. So I thought, can you come to the police?" Help me with this matter in other ways."

I understand what the old Guantou means. He wants us to find a way in metaphysics to investigate this matter clearly.

I said again: "But that Ma Xianfeng is no longer in the mine, where do you want me to investigate?"

The old manager waved his hand and said, "I don't think there's something normal. You can start investigating from this matter. It's this newcomer Niubiancao. I suspect that he must have a close relationship with Ma Xianfeng. The two of them grew up together. Very similar, judging by age, Niubiancao might be the son or nephew of Ma Xianfeng. It is said that Niubiancao contracted the mine at a very low price, and it was made by Ma Xianfeng. .Although he alone cannot decide this major event, but with him operating in the middle, I think there must be tricks in it.”

I was taken aback when I heard this: "You mean Niubiancao is the son of Ma Xianfeng?"

The old manager hurriedly said, "I'm just skeptical, just skeptical..."

"That's not right, they have a surname of Niu and a surname of Ma, isn't it completely irrelevant?"

The old Guantou sneered: "You young man, why don't you have a clear head. He said that the surname is Niu, so the surname is Niu. From my point of view, their cattle and horses are very likely to be a family."

I was very moved after hearing what the old Guantou said. This is indeed a bit of a confession. The name of this bull grass was chosen after hearing it. It's just that we always thought that he would not change his surname, but just changed his name.But why do we think he won't change his surname?

So what the old Guantou said is really possible.Anyway, let me get this out of the way first, maybe the curse and haunting really need to find another way to get it done.

Chapter 1247 Escape from Ghost Collection

I nodded: "Okay, Mr. Guan, I promise to try to find out about this matter. But I have one thing to scratch my head now. My third uncle is gone, and I came to Ghost Fair mainly to find him. If something happens to him I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."

The old manager smiled: "Don't worry, nothing happened to you, your third uncle can. He is smarter than you. I guess he has already figured out the situation in this ghost collection. Go back and see, maybe he Already home."

"Really? He..."

I was about to ask the old Guantou about the details of the situation, when suddenly I heard a loud sound of broken gongs.

The sound came suddenly, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and the vibration was very loud.

The old manager's expression changed: "What's that sound, did they find us?"

When we looked around, we saw a faint band of light appeared along this ancient Mengyang road.The band of light stretched forward like water ripples.

I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Guan, this should be the soul gong I arranged in advance. It is here to pick me up. I should be able to walk out of the ghost market by following this light belt. If you want Don't come with me?"

The old Guantou shook his head: "Don't worry. I often go in and out of here, I just need to wait until the time is up, I can go out. Since it is arranged by you, you can go first. I will explain to you, don't forget .Today is the fifteenth day, and there are three more days left in this ghost market. If you have something urgent, you can come to me in the ghost market. It’s still the same sentence outside, I can’t say anything.”

I nodded: "I made a note, then I'll go first."

I can't guarantee that the soul gong will disturb the ghosts in the ghost fair, and I dare not stay here any longer. After bidding farewell to the old Guantou, I ran away along the faintly visible band of light.

I guessed that the sound of the breaking gong must have come from Pang Haihai.I told him to knock on the washbasin before dawn, just because I was afraid that I would also be trapped in the ghost fair and couldn't get out.

I ran along that light belt all the way, I don't know how far I ran out, and suddenly I heard Pang Haihai's shout: "Boss, boss, don't run away, come back quickly..."

I was shocked, and turned around suddenly, and found that Pang Dahai was holding the washbasin and was waving at me not far away.

I looked around, and the environment had obviously changed.

"Don't look, boss, you are out, are you okay?"

Pang Dahai ran over with a washbasin in hand, I shook my head: "It's okay, what time is it?"

Pang Dahai said: "It's almost three o'clock in the morning. I'm sorry, boss, I didn't wait until dawn. I saw that you had been walking for so long and there was no movement at all, so I knocked on this washbasin in advance. Didn't delay your business?"

I calculated the time, and after three o'clock, it was Yin time, and this ghost fair opened every minute of Zi time and closed every moment of Yin time.If I don't come out by a quarter past three, I'll be stuck in a ghost collection.

The fat man knocked the gong this time, and it couldn't have been more timely.

I stared at Pang Dahai and said, "You fat man, you finally did something right. If you knock a little later, I won't be able to get out."

Pang Dahai smiled: "Of course, people will always improve. By the way, didn't the boss see the uncle in there?"

I shook my head: "No. The third uncle must have entered a ghost fair, but I didn't see him..."

I was talking to Pang Dahai when I noticed that his eyes were staring directly behind me, looking over me.

I was surprised: "What are you looking at?"

"Boss, look, is there someone there?"

Pang Dahai hastily turned my body in the other direction, making me look not far behind.

I rubbed my eyes, looked in that direction, and found a shadow flickering among the dense tree shadows.

"Boss, it can't be some beast, right? Do you want to run?"

Pang Dahai asked.

I nodded: "I heard that there are occasionally wild dogs here, which can hurt people, run... run..."

The two of us were about to run away, when we heard a voice from over there: "Two heartless..."

Pang Dahai was stunned: "Damn, this wild dog can still talk?"

The voice that spoke just now was very low and weak, but I could hear it.

I slapped Pang Haihai with a slap: "What kind of ears do you have? I heard the voice of Third Uncle. Go over and have a look."

Pang Haihai and I reacted immediately, and quickly ran towards the bush.

When we ran to the place, we really found Uncle San holding a tree and staring at us with two white eyes.

Before we could speak, Third Uncle said angrily, "You two little bastards, say... Who are the wild dogs..."

"Third Uncle, what kind of hide-and-seek are you playing with us in the middle of the night? Why are you here?" He appeared here alive, and the stone in my heart was finally lifted away, and I felt a sense of relief.

"I..." The third uncle still supported the tree, just said a word, rolled his eyes, and fell limply along the tree.

"Uncle Three."

"Uncle, what's the matter with you?"

The fat man and I hurriedly called the third uncle, and at the same time hurried forward to support him. I reached out and touched the third uncle's body, which was cold and hard, and the sweat on my forehead burst out all of a sudden, something seemed wrong.

"Fatty, quickly, get third uncle back."

I hurriedly lifted the third uncle onto Fatty's body, urged Fatty Dahai to let him carry it on his back, and we started to walk back.I found the motorcycle we were driving, and it was still Fatty driving, and I sat in the back, sandwiching Uncle San in the middle.Although it was a bit cramped sitting, the most urgent thing was the situation of the third uncle. As long as he could get back as soon as possible, nothing was important.

Because the third uncle has fallen into a coma at this time, and his body is also frighteningly cold.The fat man and I were sandwiching him for a while, and my front was also made cold by the third uncle's back.

Pang Haihai was driving a motorcycle, and we rushed back to our residence with our third uncle at the fastest speed.

When the fat man arrived at the door with his third uncle on his back, the door opened.Inside, Xu Ruoxi looked at us anxiously.

Apparently, Xu Ruoxi didn't sleep all night and stayed here all the time.

Xu Ruoxi saw the third uncle on Pang Haihai's back at a glance, and asked in surprise: "I found your third uncle back, he... what happened to him?"

I waved my hand: "Don't ask sister Xu, hurry up and make some five-grain soup for third uncle."

Xu Ruoxi hurriedly said: "I'm just afraid that something will happen to you. Seeing that you often drink this kind of food for Xu Zhe, I will cook it in advance. I will serve it in the kitchen."

I nodded, I didn't expect Xu Ruoxi to be so careful, so that he could treat third uncle as soon as possible.His situation does not look very optimistic, and it is good to fight for even 1 minute.

Chapter 1248 Rescue Third Uncle

The fat man and I put third uncle on the bed in the house and let him lie down.

I opened the third uncle's eyelids and took a look, and gave him a simple pulse. I can already feel the simple pulse. Judging from our experience, the third uncle's condition is not complicated, but he was rushed by Yin Qi.

The yang qi in his body has been impacted by the yin qi, so his body temperature has dropped to a very low level.

In this way, the Wugu soup can be regarded as the right medicine.In addition, I closed the curtains in the room, lit a red candle in the four corners of the room, and burned a few requiem talismans in each.

I know very well that as long as the third uncle's soul is stabilized, other symptoms will be easy to deal with.

Xu Ruoxi has been cooking five-grain soup on the stove before we came back. In fact, it is best to cook this kind of five-grain soup on the stove in the farmhouse, but now I can’t think about it so much. I put Xu Ruoxi The five-grain soup from the west end, opened the third uncle's mouth, and poured it down for him.

As the hot soup entered his stomach, he soon heard third uncle's stomach growling.

I rubbed my hands to warm them up, took off Third Uncle's clothes, and rubbed his belly a few times.His belly was hard, and there seemed to be an ice lump hidden in it.

However, as the five-grain soup was poured in, and I rubbed him a few times with my hands, the ice lump also quickly melted away.

"Huh...huh..."

The third uncle was lying down, sat up suddenly, and exhaled two breaths of white air from his mouth.

After exhaling white air, Third Uncle lay back from his sitting position and groaned a few times.

I know that my third uncle, who was on the verge of life and death, was finally rescued by me.

I hurriedly asked: "Third Uncle, you finally woke up, how do you feel?"

The third uncle didn't open his eyes, just raised his forearm and waved it twice, and said weakly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll sleep for a while, you close the door and hang the swords of the two of you on the On the door, don’t worry about other things, I will wake up after dawn.”

After the third uncle said these words, before we could reply, his head sank and he fell into a deep sleep.

The fat man and I didn't dare to be negligent, so we closed the door and hung our Dragon Subduing Wooden Sword on the door according to the third uncle's instructions.I understand that these two swords are equivalent to the role of door gods, which can ensure that nearby evil spirits do not dare to approach.

Even so, even though Fatty and I struggled all night, neither of us dared to go to sleep, so we guarded the door.

Xu Ruoxi also brought us two bowls of five-grain soup. After we drank it, we felt warm and comfortable.

When I was in Guiji, I once took a mouthful of Lao Guantou’s Sanyang Braised Noodles. At that time, I felt like swallowing a mouthful of ice lumps, but the symptoms were relieved quickly, and now I feel everything is normal.

Xu Ruoxi asked with concern: "Li Yang, your third uncle...is he all right?"

I waved my hand: "Don't worry, sister Xu, the third uncle has great fortune and destiny, and what he wants to do is what he thinks he is sure of. Don't look at him carelessly, he is shrewd. It depends on the situation. It's all right. Wait until dawn You should be able to wake up later."

Xu Ruoxi nodded, even though she heard what I said, she was still a little worried.It seems that she is really concerned about the safety of the third uncle, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed up all night waiting for us.

Although I told Uncle Xu Ruoxi that he was fine, I was also in a state of turmoil.Because I don't know what the third uncle went through.
