Let me see which unlucky person is here to tell fortunes today

Chai Fei slept until the evening.

Before he could recover from the shock, he received a message from Jin Xiaoyan on his phone, asking him to come over for dinner.

In just a few hours, the mourning hall was set up.

There were busy villagers everywhere, most of them looked extremely tired, with several white hats stuffed in their pockets. It was obvious that they had just attended another funeral and were dragged here.

Although they are distant relatives, as a grandson, Chai Fei naturally has to kowtow to Grandpa Ma San.

But just as he put on the white hat and knelt down, the portrait placed on the altar suddenly fell upside down, causing everyone present to exclaim in surprise.

It was a very unlucky thing for the portrait to fall down when bowing. In order to save face for her son, Jin Xiaoyan immediately shouted, "Dongzi, you were too hasty to put the photo frame for the old man just now. It was not installed properly. Please put it back!"

Dongzi is the son of Grandpa Ma San. Upon seeing this, he immediately stepped forward and rearranged the portrait. Chai Fei also took the opportunity to pay a simple respect and then slipped away to eat.

Chen Jun, as a grandson, was also there. Seeing him sitting alone in the corner, Chai Fei immediately sat next to him and asked, "Brother Jun, Grandpa Ma San is the number of elderly people who have passed away recently in the village?"

Chen Jun counted on his fingers: "The death of the elderly began with Grandma Gu at the east end of the village two months ago, followed by Grandma Liu from the grocery store, Grandpa Huang Wu by the West Pond... Including Grandma Jiang, who was buried today, Grandpa Zhou, and Grandpa Ma San, 14 people have passed away."

Chai Fei couldn't believe it: "14 elderly people died within two months. This is not normal at all!"

Chen Jun sighed: "But the forensic doctor came to identify them and found that they died of natural causes. Besides, they were all quite old. To say that it's abnormal is actually quite normal..."

Chai Fei asked back: "Are you sure?"

Chen Jun looked embarrassed, and then said dejectedly: "I'm not sure, but what can I do?"

"Has there been no other strange incidents in the village?"

Chen Jun glanced at the portrait of Grandpa Ma San in the mourning hall and shrank his neck again: "There are indeed strange things, but I tell you, you can't tell anyone else!"

Chai Fei patted his chest and said, "We are brothers. Don't you know how tight my mouth is?"

Chen Jun hesitated for a while, and finally leaned close to Chai Fei's ear and said, "Do you remember the bridge where I took you into the village on my motorcycle today?"

"Remember!"

“Actually, that bridge is quite mysterious.”

"How mysterious is that?"

Chen Jun licked his lips, his face solemn: "The first old man in the village died at 9:13 pm on September 2 this year! Do you know when the bridge was built?"

Chai Fei shook his head.

"The bridge was completed on September 9, two years ago, and the blasting took place at 13:2 p.m."

Chai Fei widened his eyes in surprise: "What a coincidence?"

"Yeah, the point is, there's more to that bridge than meets the eye!"

Chai Fei: "Anything else?"

Chen Jun nodded: "You still remember what you told me on the bridge today, what you saw, right? Actually, I knew you saw something, but I didn't dare to say it directly at the time."

"Many people in the village have seen the same thing as you. They have seen a ghost hand lying on the outside of the bridge pier, as if it was about to climb up."

"Do you know Niu Si from the west end of the village? One time when it was raining, he was walking on the river and saw the ghost crawling up and standing in front of him. When Niu Si was found, he was lying on his back in the water. My uncle said that if he was face down at the time, he would be dead.

"It's a pity that after Niu Si was rescued, he became crazy and said he saw ghosts all day long. Look, that person at the door is him!"

As Chen Jun spoke, he pointed towards the gate. Chai Fei followed his gaze and saw a drooling, idiotic man squatting in the corner, holding a broken bowl and gnawing on a beef bone given by the Ma family. He looked like a village guard.

But in Chai Fei's memory, Niu Si was obviously a brave and shrewd man. It was obvious that he must have seen something horrible in the rainstorm at that time, otherwise such a good man would not have been scared crazy.

"In addition to Niu Si, there was also Aunt Ding who had been married to our village for 30 years. She was sleeping soundly at night, but she sleepwalked to the bridge and jumped off. Fortunately, she was caught by her husband and son."

Chai Fei's hair stood on end when he heard Chen Jun's words. He asked, "This bridge is so mysterious. When it was first built, did it destroy the Feng Shui somewhere?"

Chen Jun was delighted: "The only college student in our village still believes in this?"

Chai Fei was embarrassed to say that his opinion on ghosts and gods had completely changed after watching Ji Chu's live broadcast, so he nudged Chen Jun with his arm, urging him to speak quickly.

Chen Jun gave him a thumbs up and said, "Your guess is correct. When the bridge was first built, some bizarre things really happened."

"You know, although the road built by the government is close to the village, the terrain nearby is really bad. That area was a mass grave a few years ago, and no one in our village dared to go there."

"But you can't ask the government to rebuild the road for your village alone. The village chief had no choice but to lead his men to repair it. As a result, they dug up something!"

Chai Fei: “What?”

Chen Jun pretended to be mysterious and asked, "When you entered the village, didn't you see a land temple built in the center of the village?"

Chai Fei thought about it and it seemed that there was such a place.

Chen Jun continued, "What the village chief led his men to dig out were two small stone statues."

"Because of these two little stone statues, the foundation of the bridge could not be laid. The machines would stall as soon as they reached the bridge, and the villagers' tools would break as soon as they reached the bridge!"

"Later, the village chief had no choice but to ask a master. The master said that the two small stone statues were the God of Land and Goddess of Land. Our road construction disturbed them. If we built a temple for them, they would not blame us and the bridge could be built."

"Seeing that the progress of the bridge construction was stagnant, the village chief listened to the master and built a temple in the center of the village. The result was just as the master said. After the small temple was built and incense was offered, the place immediately became peaceful."

Upon hearing this, Chai Fei said doubtfully: "The bridge has been repaired, but strange things are still happening. So many old people have died in the village all of a sudden. Is that land temple really effective..."

Chen Jun covered Chai Fei's mouth with his hand: "You can eat whatever you want, but don't say anything."

Chai Fei, whose mouth was pinched, motioned him to take his hand away, and then turned his gaze to Jin Xiaoyan and Chai Gengsheng who were busy in the distance, his eyes full of worry.

"Brother Jun, tell me, if all the elderly people in the village are gone, will more people die next?"

Chen Jun was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I know what you are afraid of. This is also what I have been afraid of for some time."

"If you have the ability, you can get into college, get a job and bring your parents to the city. I don't have a diploma, and I don't have any skills. I don't know what to do in the future!"

Chai Fei took out his mobile phone and opened the live broadcast room at the beginning of the season again.

"It's already this late, and you're still watching the live broadcast?" Chen Jun said with disdain.

Chai Fei shook his head: "Brother Jun, we grew up together. I'm not lying to you. This anchor knows everything in the world. If we can grab her judge's pen, she will definitely be able to help us get rid of the village's predicament!"
