guarantor for the ghost

Chapter 28 Farm in the North 2

They followed Uncle Zheng to Dawu Village, which is very remote. After getting off the car, they walked for nearly 2 hours on the mountain road to reach the village.

I thought that when we arrived at the village, we would soon arrive at the grandfather’s friend’s house, but Grandpa Zheng said that the friend’s house was a bit out of the way, and he had to walk for half an hour on the mountain road. Zhangqiu almost fainted after hearing this. For the long distance, I can't keep up with my physical strength, but Ding Yao, who usually looks very weak, is not as tired as he is walking.

Finally arrived at his grandfather's friend's house. Grandpa Zheng knocked on the door of the adobe house. An old man with half gray hair came to open the door. The old man seemed to be in good spirits, but it made people feel that he was not easy to get along with. "Lao He, I heard that Lao Zhang is here, so I'll come and have a look."

"Not here, let's go." After speaking, he gestured to close the door.

Grandpa Zheng hurriedly blocked and closed the door, "What are you doing? Old Zhang must be with you. He said he would come, but if he didn't come to mine, he must have come to you."

"I don't know, you hurry up and go."

"Hey, old man He, what do you mean? It's good to be a friend. I haven't seen you for so long. You don't invite me in for a cup of tea. You're driving me away as soon as we meet. There's something wrong with you. Hurry up and be honest. The one behind me is Lao Zhang's grandson. If something happens, you can't hide it."

Only then did the old man see Zhang Qiu and the others behind him, and said with a sullen face, "Whether it's old man Zhang's grandson or not, your grandpa is not here, go back."

This old man He had a very firm sense of driving people away. After he finished speaking, he closed the door and ignored everyone. Everyone went inside if they didn't understand, and they all looked at Grandpa Zheng.Grandpa Zheng also frowned, feeling very strange, "It shouldn't be, if your grandpa came, he would definitely come to settle down with our old friends, and the old man He's attitude is also very strange, no matter how out of gregarious You will drive people away like this.”

Until it was getting dark, the old man He didn't open the door and ignored Zhang Qiu and the others. Grandpa Zheng took everyone to the village first.

When I was looking for someone to borrow in the village, Grandpa Zheng's family called and said that someone from the second wife's family had come to make trouble, and asked Grandpa Zheng to go back to preside over the overall situation. Grandpa Zheng was so angry that he almost smashed his phone. Grandpa Zheng could only apologize to Zhang Qiu and the others and said that he would go home tomorrow.

Early in the morning, Zhangqiu and the others got up just in time to meet the owner's family for breakfast. The family was also very enthusiastic. They not only invited them to have breakfast, but also said that they would take Grandpa Zheng to the station with an electric tricycle.

During the meal, the host’s grandma was a very enthusiastic and talkative old man. Most of these young people in the countryside went out to work, and there were old, weak, sick and disabled at home. It was rare to see young people like Zhang Qiu and the others liked it very much. "Xiao Zhang, eat a steamed bun. This steamed bun is better than the ones you bought. You can try it when you make it at home."

Zhangqiu took a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of vegetables, and he was very satisfied. Although the steamed buns were not as good as the steamed buns he bought, the pure grain flavor was much more delicious than the milk-scented steamed buns.He smiled and said, "Grandma Liu, it's so delicious, I'll buy some from you before I leave."

"Whatever you buy, they are all worthless things." Grandma Liu looked at Zhangqiu and the others lovingly. Seeing Ding Yao's thin appearance, she continued to serve Ding Yao with vegetables and steamed buns, and advised the young man to eat more, saying that he Thinner than a girl.

After a meal, the relationship between everyone was shortened. After Grandma Liu's son drove Grandpa Zheng away, everyone did not go up the mountain to find grandpa's friends. Instead, they chatted around Grandma Liu and followed Grandma Liu. Move the stools and chairs to the grain drying field, where the sun is good, the old people like to bask in the sun, and there are many people there.

It was strange that a few big and small guys suddenly came to the grain drying field, but the strangeness also passed, and it didn't take long for everyone to start chatting about their parents, and by the way, chatting was long in the east and short in the west.A chubby aunt suddenly said: "The mountain seems to be not peaceful recently. The men of Xiuzi's family haven't come back for three days. Today I went to the village chief and said that I want to find someone."

"It's not like life is hard to go on, what are you going to do in the mountains?" a woman said.

"It seems that Xiuzi's father-in-law has cancer, and he has no money to force him."

"It turned out to be cancer. It's going to ruin the family and kill people." Another woman sighed.

It is true that getting cancer requires a lot of money, but what puzzled Zhang Qiu was whether it is possible to get enough money by going to the mountains?And what danger is there in the mountains?Talking about going to the mountains makes people feel that they are risking their lives.Zhang Qiu joined in the fun and asked, "Grandma Liu, is it dangerous in the mountains?"

"Of course, there are even tigers in our deep mountains and old forests. Some people once wanted to go poaching, but when they came back, they lost their arms. They were so scared that they never dared to come again."

"Is that Xiuzi's husband also going to poach?"

"That's impossible, how can you do something illegal. He just goes to the mountains to try his luck. If he is lucky, he can come across some antiques and sell them at a good price, and he will have money for medical treatment."

"Grandma Liu, if you just pick up the antiques on the mountain, then everyone can pick up the treasures without having to work."

"Haha, silly boy, everyone says it's luck, but most people don't dare to pick it up. Those ancient relics are very evil. If you touch them, you will die or get sick. Most people will not touch them. Their family is probably forced to There is no other way."

"Either death or illness, how can this thing be sold?"

"There are some people in this world who are not afraid of death and are bold." Grandma Liu sighed, and then kindly reminded: "Xiao Zhang, I don't think you are short of money, so don't get involved in such things."

"Don't worry, we are here to find someone."

"Who are you looking for? Grandma Liu will help you find out."

"Actually, I'm looking for my grandpa. I heard that my grandpa came here to find an old friend. Grandpa He who lives on the mountain over there."

"Looking for old man He, that stubborn old man still has friends?"

"Grandma Liu, do you know that someone has been looking for Grandpa He recently?"

"If you say that, someone looked for Old Man He, maybe half a month ago." Grandma Liu replied after thinking about it.

Grandma Liu's answer made Zhang Qiu sure that Grandpa had really been here, but Zhang Qiu couldn't be sure where Grandpa was. He felt that Old Man He must know something. With his concealing attitude, things must be not good.He and Zhong Shaoyuan looked at each other, and said hello to Grandma Liu, saying that they were going to ask old man He about grandpa.

Old man He's house was locked, Zhang Qiu knocked on the door, but still no one opened the door for a long time, Zhang Qiu and the others had no choice but to sit on the wooden stake in the yard, the four of them looked at each other, and I looked at you. There is no other way, they can’t break open other people’s doors, and they won’t open the door if they say anything outside, Zhang Qiu said to Zhong Shaoyuan a little annoyed: “Zhong Shaoyuan, aren’t you a ghost? Go in and see what’s going on inside, you’re not a human anymore anyway , you don’t have to abide by human laws.”

Now that Zhang Qiu said so, Zhong Shaoyuan naturally obeyed the arrangement, and entered the room with a phantom figure.The light in the house is very dark, the windows of this kind of adobe house are high and small, the light is naturally very poor, Zhong Shaoyuan found the old man He immediately according to the breath of the living, the old man He actually has a cellar, and the old man He at this time is also Busy in the cellar.Under the dim light, old man He is polishing and carving a white bone, and there are not many bones around old man He. Zhong Shaoyuan accidentally caught a few ribs among them from the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help suspecting that old man He used human bones , As a ghost, I even feel a little chilly.

Zhong Shaoyuan didn't know what old man He was doing, but he could tell that old man He should be carving something like runes on the bone.Seeing that the old man He had been doing this, Zhong Shaoyuan looked around. There was no trace of other living people here, and he went back to the house. The things in the house were old and simple, and there was nothing wrong with it. Such a house It is impossible to conjecture that this is an old man who can carve bones.

Coming out of the house, Zhong Shaoyuan relayed everything he saw to other people. Zhang Qiu couldn't help but suspect that old man He was a changed old man, and that his grandfather had been given to that by this old man. He couldn't help feeling more anxious and couldn't listen at all. Until Zhong Shaoyuan said that he didn't feel the breath of Grandpa Youzhang on the bones.

Zhang Qiu kept knocking on the door so loudly that Zhong Shaoyuan felt that if old man He didn't come to open the door again, the door of his house would be scrapped.Obviously, Zhang Qiu's behavior has greatly affected Old Man He's work. Old Man He's face was full of displeasure, and his tone was very rude, "Your grandfather is not with me, get out of here."

"Grandpa He, I have inquired about it. Someone in the village saw my grandfather coming to you. If you hide it so much and refuse to admit it, did you do something?" Zhang Qiu decided to blow old man He up.

Old man He didn't expect that someone in the village had seen Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Qiu being so recalcitrant, so he said with a cold face, "If you want to live, leave quickly."

As soon as the words came out, everyone understood that something happened to Grandpa Zhang, "Grandpa He, has something happened to my grandfather, please tell me quickly, as a grandson, I have the right to know that I have inherited the blood of the family, If there's anything I can help with."

Seeing Zhang Qiu's swearing-in attitude, old man He finally told the truth, "There is an ancient tomb in our mountain, and I am the keeper of the tomb. The filth in the house was drawn out, and many people died. I asked your grandfather to seal the robbery cave together. There were tomb robbers a few months ago. There seemed to be someone who knew a little bit of metaphysics among the tomb robbers, but they broke Feng Shui , making the ancient tomb even more dangerous. I asked your grandfather to help me. Your grandfather and I were about to seal it successfully. A fool in the village went to the mountain to find the treasure, so he couldn’t die. He turned red at the seal. Your grandpa's hard work fell short, and this tomb has become uncontrollable. Your grandpa is temporarily stable now. I am rushing to make a seal at home. If there is no time to seal it, everyone in this area will be affected, whether you are here now or not. There is no way to escape this, and whoever makes everyone here are descendants of the tomb keeper is a curse we will bear."

The old man He sighed, and then said: "You will be affected if you stay here, and you will be fine if you leave here."
