Merchant of the Underworld

When I told Yin Xinyue exactly what happened, Yin Xinyue was also scared and quickly asked me what would be the consequences if I didn't handle it. If it's just the fourth uncle who keeps knocking the wooden fish, then don't solve it. Maybe it's just the big python using this method to make the fourth uncle atone for his sins? After the atonement is completed, Muyu will no longer pester his fourth uncle.

I sighed and said it wasn't clear yet, but it shouldn't be that simple.

Yin Xinyue smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhang, it's useless even if I tell Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle is famously stubborn in the village. Except for a few mountain gods of the Dai people, he doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods. Otherwise, today At night when Fourth Uncle was knocking on wooden fish, we woke him up. He would definitely believe it when he saw this weird scene!"

I shook my head and said that this was not a good idea. If I suddenly woke up my fourth uncle who was in a sleepwalking state, I was afraid the end would be tragic.

After much deliberation, in the end there was really no other way, so Yin Xinyue suggested that we use our mobile phones to record the process of Fourth Uncle knocking the wooden fish tonight.

I agreed immediately.

After discussing it for a while, I went to bed to rest. However, he couldn't rest well at all, because someone in the village happened to be marrying off his daughter, and according to custom, the whole village had to celebrate for a whole day.

The villagers brought gifts prepared by themselves and went to the host's house to congratulate them. In return, the host's family would stay for them to eat and hold a chicken killing feast.

So the village was bustling all day long, and even I, a Dai warrior, was forcibly dragged to host the chicken killing feast.

After finally returning from dinner, I slept until dark. When I opened my eyes and stretched, I heard my fourth uncle chatting with others at the door.

After seeing me, he immediately called me over and started chatting about everything.

The person chatting with the fourth uncle was the old father who married his daughter. He was waiting here for the groom to come and pick her up. My fourth uncle asked me to call him Lambert. Lambert was highly respected in the village and his status was second only to my fourth uncle.

Lambert looked a little anxious, walking back and forth, saying that at this point, the person to pick up the bride should be here. Could there be some trouble?

Fourth uncle comforted Lambert and said, "Don't think blindly. Today is a happy event. How could there be trouble? I saw the groom and he is a sensible man."

I said, "If it doesn't work out, why don't I go out of the stronghold and take a look? I'll help them."

The fourth uncle quickly refused, saying that I was a distinguished guest, how could I be allowed to go? After saying that, he casually called a child from nearby and asked the child to wait for someone outside the village.

The child ran away. Not long after, I heard a burst of crying coming from outside the village. It was the child's cry.

The child was covered in dirt and injured. He stumbled into the village and cried loudly.

My heart skipped a beat, and I knew something must have happened. I quickly ran up to the child and asked him what happened.

The child was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face: "It's not good... it's not good. They are all... all dead. Fourth uncle, please go and take a look."

"What?" The fourth uncle jumped three feet high: "Don't talk nonsense, today is a happy day."

I quickly answered: "Fourth uncle, you will know if you go and take a look. This child is very well-behaved. He should not be joking."

The fourth uncle was also anxious, summoned a group of Dai youths, and rushed out of the village.

When we came to the dirt road at the entrance of the village, we were immediately dumbfounded.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and the scene was in a mess.

A tricycle with a big red word "hi" on it flipped over into the ditch on the side of the road. The people on the car were all crushed under the tricycle and were covered in blood. The small river ditch had long been stained red with blood, and I even saw a few broken arms on the road.

This bloody scene was so exciting that many young people turned around and vomited. I was also extremely uncomfortable, but I still held on.

Seeing this scene, the fourth uncle couldn't help but howl like an angry beast: "Blocker, I will never let you go!"

Lambert fainted a long time ago. The Dai people are very superstitious. If such a thing happens on a happy day, it means that the bride will be a disaster star and no one will marry her again in the future.

This also meant that his daughter's life was ruined.

Seeing everyone standing there stupidly, I immediately shouted: "Quick! Everyone, hurry up and save people, see if anyone is alive."

When I shouted like this, everyone woke up and hurriedly started to pull out the people who were trapped under the tricycle.

However, most of the people had been crushed, and even if there were a few who were still alive, their chances of survival were slim.

Only the driver was not suppressed because he was sitting at the front of the car, and his vital signs were relatively stable.

I immediately called my fourth uncle and asked him to do his best to rescue the driver.

After several hours of emergency rescue, only two people from the entire wedding team survived, including the driver.

As soon as the driver woke up, he asked feebly: "Everyone... is everyone... okay?"

Fourth uncle patted him on the shoulder: "You rest first, you don't need to worry about other things."

The driver fainted again.

My fourth uncle immediately called me over. It was obvious that he was very angry.

"Tomorrow during the day, come with us and eradicate the monsters that block our way." Fourth Uncle said, "No one is bullying our village?"

I asked: "Uncle Fourth, don't you think it's strange?"

Fourth uncle looked at me: "Why is it strange?"

"You told me before that no one has ever died on that road. Why did people start to die after we got rid of the big python? And so many people died all at once."

The fourth uncle said: "Does this need to be said? Of course it was because we got rid of the big python that was colluding with the ghost who blocked the road, and angered the ghost, so we killed the villagers to vent our hatred!"

I couldn't help but laugh. Fourth uncle's imagination was really wide open.

"Fourth Uncle, have you ever thought that the ghost blocking the road might actually be good?"

"What do you mean?" Fourth uncle looked at me in surprise: "Is the roadblock a good thing? You are not afraid, are you? If you are afraid, we will not force you."

I quickly explained: "Fourth Uncle, you misunderstood, please listen to me carefully first. In fact, the ghosts that blocked the roads were just protecting pedestrians before. Now that the ghosts have been hurt by us, they will no longer protect pedestrians, so that's why Such a tragic car accident occurred.”

The fourth uncle looked at me dumbly: "Warrior, how can you think so? According to you, if it weren't for the ghost blocking the road, all the villagers who passed there before might have died?"

I nodded: "Yes, Fourth Uncle, let me tell you the truth. When we first entered the village, we were too tired, so we couldn't help but doze off while driving."

"It is very dangerous to fall asleep while driving. If you turn the steering wheel slightly wrongly, it will kill everyone in the car."

"But since roadblocks appear from time to time and scare us, our consciousness has indeed become much clearer, so we can avoid possible car accidents..."

"I think other drivers passing by here should have encountered the same situation. Everyone's survival is due to the roadblock." I tried to persuade him calmly.

But the fourth uncle looked at me like a monster: "Are you okay? You actually think that blockers are good? That's ridiculous. Forget it, don't get involved in this matter, you are still our honored guest."

Speaking of which, the fourth uncle ignored me and went straight to find other people to discuss how to get rid of the ghosts in the way.

I shook my head helplessly and had no choice but to find Yin Xinyue and tell Yin Xinyue the matter in detail.

After hearing this, Yin Xinyue also had a headache. She said that I shouldn't be so reckless and expose the matter. With my fourth uncle's temper, it would be a good thing if he didn't drive me away.

I said that I was just telling the truth, and there were various signs that the roadblocker was indeed good. The roadblocking ghost is probably living in the wooden fish. Now that the wooden fish is brought back, the roadblocking ghost can no longer protect pedestrians.

Yin Xinyue said that there was really no other way, so just act according to the original plan! I will take a video of Uncle Fourth’s anomaly tonight. When he watches the video, he will naturally believe it.

Now it seems that this is all that can be done.

The fourth uncle quickly found someone to discuss the result. Everyone agreed that the roadblocker must be out for revenge, so he caused this tragic car accident. Tomorrow, no matter what, the roadblocker must be eliminated.

As for how they were eliminated, I don't know.

At this moment, I really feel sorry for that wooden fish. It was obviously helping the villagers, but it was mistaken by the villagers as a murderer...

These ignorant villagers! We only look at the surface of the problem.

And because of what I said during the day, I am naturally a little unpopular, and no one pays attention to me at all. Since you ignore me, I will prove my innocence myself.

It got dark quickly, and after we had a simple dinner, we waited patiently.

In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of knocking on wooden fish. I knew that my fourth uncle must have started sleepwalking again, so I immediately woke up Li Mazi and Yin Xinyue and told them to act immediately!
