Chapter 47 Going to the Market
Zhang Guangrong and Liu Shun also went to the ancestral hall with everyone. Waiting was not an option. They couldn't resist twisting a piece of cloth and hanging it under the door, and then wrapped their necks in it.
Find something to do, and the anxiety in your heart will be weakened.
Chen Yang had been to the ancestral hall in the morning, and he was familiar with the road inside and out. When he came back at night, he would have eight more teammates by his side. It stands to reason that he would be very relaxed.
However, it does not.
The ancestral hall near midnight is eerie.
In addition to being afraid, Chen Yang couldn't figure out one thing. There is no place to hide people in the ancestral hall. Where can Jiang Miao hide?
The more I can't figure it out, the more I feel an indescribable feeling...
Unknowingly reaching the base of the wall, Chen Yang glanced at his teammates: "The door is locked, we have three ways, one, all climb over the wall and enter."
Everyone's eyes focused on the boy on crutches in unison.
A trace of strange emotion welled up in Chen Yang's heart. His name was Huduzi, and it was coming fiercely and uncontrollably. He couldn't help but said, "Can the rest of you turn?"
Everyone was asked, and then went to look at the courtyard wall around the ancestral hall.
so high.
They lean their necks back to inhale. Those who play extreme sports well, or those who have special training can turn over, it will be very difficult for ordinary people.So they fell silent.
"How did you get in before?" Wang Kuanyou asked Chen Yang, was the door unlocked?
Chen Yang said: "Run up, climb up." He pointed to a place, "A place like this can be held by hand, and you can go up in a few strokes."
Everyone: "..."
few times?How many strokes?They couldn't imagine it.
"You often climb rocks with your bare hands." Chen Xi's eyes were starry, and he wanted to pounce on him to ask for a group photo.
"Climbing? Unarmed?" Chen Yang looked inexplicable, "I don't have that extreme spirit, and I'm afraid of falling."
"..."
"Then you usually like to climb over walls." Chen Xishuang insisted.
Chen Yang twitched: "I don't have this habit, the last time I read it was skipping class in high school, it happened many years ago."
The wall fell silent.Everyone tacitly believed that Chen Yang had lied. As for the reason, the other party refused to tell, which meant it was private, and they did not investigate further.
Chen Yang observed the changes in everyone's expressions, and saw their questioning and silence. They thought he was lying.
is it necessary?Just over the wall, what he said is the truth.
Chen Yang couldn't help feeling weird, girls were naturally relatively weak in physical fitness, and middle-aged people's physical values dropped a lot, and they were not easy to climb over the wall.
Like Qian Qin, Wang Kuanyou, and Chen Xishuang, these three young people, Chen Yang thought they were fine.Can't you?
Is it so difficult?Chen Yang looked up at the high wall, his eyes unconsciously showing a bit of trance.
"clatter"
The sound of the cane being knocked on the ground was heard, and Chen Yang's eyes became clear.
"I can't do it." Wang Xiaobei raised her hand on behalf of the team.
Chen Yang nodded to show that he understood, and he said the second option: "Second, stacking arhats."
This option was voted down faster than the previous one.No, it cannot be stacked.
If you change the environment, you can try it. Now everyone is under a lot of psychological pressure, mentally fragile, and physical strength is not fully restored. No one can be the foundation.
"Then there is only a third way, to break the lock."
Chen Yang pointed to the copper products on the door, and pursed his lips: "This lock is like the big copper lock used in the Republic of China period. It is very strong, and it will be exposed if it is forcibly knocked too loudly."
Everyone: "..." That means neither horizontally nor vertically.
"Do we know how to open the lock here?" Chen Xishuang was quick to think, "It's like on TV, use a wire to open it."
Xiao Xiang took out something from the pocket of his denim jacket, and said in a calm tone, "I can provide the wire."
Chen Yang: "..."
"How can there be someone here..."
As Chen Yang was talking, a hand stretched out beside him: "Iron wire."
He extended that slender hand to look at its owner, with surprise in his eyes: "You know how?"
Chao Jian: "Try."
That's right, this person is not just looking for a sense of presence, Chen Yang excitedly took the wire from Xiaoxiang, broke it, and straightened it.
"I want two, poke together."
As soon as the words were finished, Ms. Xiaoxiang showed the wire again in a calm and breezy manner, a large plate.
"..."
Chao Jian lowered the crutch by one section, put her arm on it, fished for the copper lock with one hand, and pinched two iron wires with the thumb and index finger of the other hand.
Chen Yang stood aside and watched, while the others watched from behind.
Wang Kuanyou reminded Chen Yang to turn on the phone, otherwise he would not be able to see clearly when unlocking it.
As soon as Chen Yang put his hand into his jacket pocket, his partner said no, and he whispered, "Then what should I do?"
"Stand." Chao Jian picked up the copper lock, bent down and leaned forward.
Chen Yang waited intently.
The picker is also waiting. Picking a lock with wire is a technical job. When Chen Xishuang was a child, he followed what he learned on TV and broke the locks at home several times. He felt that the chance of success was slim, so he simply prayed.
The remaining few people did not make a sound, so as not to disturb the one who was trying to open the lock.
When the click sounded, no one reacted.
Is it on?That's it?
Chen Yang was also a little confused, but this didn't affect his pride. He took off the lock and seriously informed everyone: "It's open."
The vanity patriarchal mentality that my children are really proud of has reappeared.
The gate of the ancestral hall was very heavy, and when Chen Yang pushed it, a few pieces of the cracked iron sheet fell off. When the wind blew, the smell of rust filled everyone's arms.
Everyone waited and watched at the door for a while, making sure there was no noise inside before going in.
Liu Shun closed the door: "Turn on your cellphones, it's too dark."
After a while, there were eight more beams of light in the courtyard, and the places where they couldn't reach were still pitch black, as if something was hiding there, staring straight at them.
"It's really eerie." Chen Xishuang muttered softly.
"If it's in a ghost movie, now we are the death squad, and we will die every once in a while."
"Okay, stop talking, go in quickly."
Chen Yang has been to the ancestral hall, there are only eight chairs, a big incense burner, a cabinet, and nothing else, so he didn't follow in, but stayed in the courtyard.
The focus of that trip was inside the ancestral hall, and the yard did not pay attention.
Just remember that there are trees and stones.
Chen Yang took the mobile phone to take pictures here and there, then turned on Chao Jian's mobile phone, one in each hand, and the two beams of light illuminated together.
"One, two... four... five..."
five trees.All old trees.
Chen Yang went to count the stones again, big and small, too many to count.
"Will there be a mystery?" Chen Yang said to himself, and knocked his hand on the big rock closest to him, and the crutch hit his forearm.
"Don't touch it." Chao Jian frowned and stopped.
At this moment, Wang Xiaobei's exclamation suddenly came from the ancestral hall. Chen looked up and found 60 cabinets.
Although he revealed it, the impact of seeing it with his own eyes was still great.
Chen Yang remembered the ghost in the ancestral hall, the other party was guiding him to open the cabinet, and then found that the bamboo sticks corresponded to the goods.
Therefore, it is inferred that the matter of worshiping the ancestors.
This is the ancestral hall of the Jiang family, and the ghost also belongs to the Jiang family.
There is only one purpose for doing that, the other party is telling Chen Yang that whether the total amount of goods sold for three days can meet the standard depends on the worship of ancestors.
Find a way to avoid it, and don't sell the goods that have been drawn, so that no one will die.
If there are more people alive, the per capita quota will not increase significantly, and it will be much easier for them to meet the total quota required by the village chief.
Setting up a stall for three days and earning 1500 yuan is Jiang Ren's curse. From another perspective, this is his wish.
After completing that amount, the ginger man will let them go.
Chen Yang still doesn't understand, given Jiang's situation, the Jiang family will not recognize him, and it is estimated that it is impossible to include him in the genealogy. Why is he still obsessed with the reputation of the Jiang family after his death? He must do a good job in business. To make a profit.
Included in the genealogy...
Something flashed through Chen Yang's mind, but he didn't have time to catch it.
That ghost must have been very afraid of Jiang Ren, so he stayed in the ancestral hall and didn't dare to go out, and didn't dare to make other moves, for fear of being noticed by Jiang Ren.
Who is it from the Jiang family?
Chen Yang collected his scattered thoughts and continued to explore those trees and stones.
The distribution is irregular.
Chen Yang rubbed his sore eyes, maybe there was, but he didn't see it, he asked his partner: "Don't you say something?"
Chao Jian doesn't seem to have that plan.
Chen Yang said, "It was you who reminded me that the place of Tibetans is in the ancestral hall."
Glancing at him at Jane: "I just remind you to use your brain more."
Chen Yang: "..."
"Then where do you think Jiang Miao will be in the ancestral hall?"
Chen Yang didn't quarrel with the young man, he was only concerned about the progress of the mission: "The ancestral hall is very big and empty, and there is no way to hide people, unless there is a mechanism, she hides in the dark room."
"If she is hiding in a dark room, then someone will bring her food and drink, and she has to hide it from Jiang Ren. Can this be done? Even the village chief can't do it."
"The village chief didn't even allow us to call us by wrong names. He wasn't pretending to be nervous. He was really afraid of Jiang Ren. He only wanted to fulfill the other party's wish and send him away. It is impossible to do such a thing."
As Chen Yang spoke, he unconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the branches and leaves hanging by his arm, and the crutch came up again.
Stones can't be touched, and neither can trees?
Chen Yang stuffed the two mobile phones into his pockets, pressed his hands on the young man's shoulders, stood on tiptoes, and looked closer at him.
Looking back at Jane, she said, "Go away."
"Let's go later." Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, "Did you see the tricks in this yard?"
Chao Jian tensed his jaw: "I didn't see it."
Chen Yang didn't believe a word: "Then you won't let me touch it?"
"dirty."
Chen Yang was dumbfounded.
"You know what to tell me, so that I can take timely countermeasures." Chen Yang taught patiently and gently, "We are a team, partners, cohabitants, life and death friends, don't you think so?"
Chao Jian's face was dark: "Have you finished speaking, you can take your hands away."
Chen Yang: "..."
It was quiet in the yard, and it was also very quiet in the ancestral hall. Both groups of people were investigating.
Chen Yang still felt that the trees and stones were unusual.
Not long after, Chao Jian looked up at the night sky, and Chen Yang also looked over, and the hazy moon was completely covered by black clouds.
The whole sky is like a black cloth with no stars.
"Call them out." Chao Jian said suddenly.
Chen Yang immediately called for someone.
Zhao Jian twitched his lips and glanced at him, and he was the most obedient only at this time.
As soon as the seven people in the ancestral hall came out, they turned to Jane and said, "Go find a shovel, one for each."
Wang Kuanyou and Chen Yang looked at each other, and left the courtyard without asking any questions.
Qian Qin followed behind Wang Kuanyou.
Then came Xiaoxiang and Liu Shun, they didn't ask the reason either.
Zhang Guangrong was waiting for someone to ask.
Wang Xiaobei was that person, and she asked impatiently, "Is there a corpse in the yard?"
Jiang Sheng buried another one before his death?
"Let's go find the shovel first." Chen Xi said while running outside.
"Where can I look for it? Leave the shovel at home. Will someone leave it at the door? Hey, wait for me—" Wang Xiaobei chased after Chen Xishuang.
Zhang Guangrong was still on the spot, he looked at Chen Yang: "What do you want to dig?"
Chen Yang peeked at his partner, seeing that the other party showed no signs of coming forward, he had no choice but to deal with it himself: "You'll know when you dig it out."
"I can understand that you don't know anything, but you just feel that there may be something in the yard, or you think there should be something, so you let everyone take the risk to find the shovel?"
Zhang Guangrong is straightforward, no matter what he thinks, he will not blindly follow anyone's arrangement.
Chen Yang said calmly: "We infer based on the situation of the ancestral hall. There is no problem inside. There are so many trees and stones in the courtyard outside, which is unreasonable."
"Furthermore, even if you just feel that the yard is wrong, everyone has to dig it out. The clues are not on the surface. If you don't explore, there will be no clues."
"Sometimes a little sense of incongruity can extract important information."
Zhang Guangrong shifted his examining eyes to the boy on crutches, and he turned and left after a few seconds.
Chen Yang lowered his voice: "What's under the ground?"
Leaning on the crutches toward Jane, she slowly peeled the milk and ate it: "You'll only find out after digging, just like you said."
Chen Yang: "..."
“They trust us a lot,” he sighs.
"It's not trusting us, it's wanting to get out alive." Chao Jian bit the milk tablet and snorted lightly, "Everyone stopped where they were, not knowing where to go. At this time, they need someone to point them in a direction to move. There is hope when they move. .”
Chen Yang hadn't heard this long speech for a long time, so he was stunned.
These words are true upon reflection.
Even if nothing is dug out in the end, it can also play a role in eliminating. There is no problem underground, but the ancestral hall is the problem.
It is useful after all.Just moving is better than staying where you are.
Chen Xishuang was the first one to come back. He gave Chen Yang an extra hoe, and said that there was a dog in that house. Fortunately, he was an idiot, so he didn't bark when he saw him.
"I'm the fastest." Chen Xishuang dropped the shovel to the ground and sat on his buttocks. "Everyone is going their own way. I just turn my head while walking. When I walk at night, I always feel that there is someone behind me."
"Then I thought again, I look like him and have the same body, other ghosts will think I'm special to him and won't harm me, if he comes, maybe I can be with him Let’s talk about it, and I feel a little bit empathetic, so I’m not afraid if I think so.”
Chen Yang touched the handle of the hoe and said solemnly, "Be careful tomorrow."
"What's the matter?" Chen Xi stood up with tears in his eyes, "Don't say a word without beginning and end, talk more, brother."
"Tomorrow is the climax and end of the tragedy back then. I've said it before. I'm afraid you will forget it. Let me remind you."
Chen Xishuang swallowed his saliva in a "gulu", really forgot, his goldfish memory!
At that time, Jiang Ren died on the last day of the market. It might not be in the morning, but at noon?Or at night, after the stalls in Laoji Village are closed?
It's almost over, and I have to work hard to sell things tomorrow, and I will die if the per capita quota does not exceed the line.
"Lord..." Chen Xishuang prayed again.
After a while, Wang Kuanyou and others came back one after another. They didn't find a shovel and they didn't have an empty hand. Everyone was holding something that could dig soil.
"Go ahead." Chen Yang said, "Don't touch the trees and rocks."
"Is there any taboo? I have already pulled the branches." Liu Shun said anxiously.
"I..." Wang Xiaobei said in a crying voice, "I kicked a rock just now, and put my leg on it."
Chen Yang looked at the Chao Jian.
"Don't touch it while digging." Chao Jian's words turned without any emotional fluctuations, "It's not dangerous if you touch it."
Except for the cautious Xiaoxiang and Qian Qin, everyone else met, not only Liu Shun and Wang Xiaobei, they just didn't make a fuss, and they were relieved to hear the boy on crutches say that. Who would have thought that the other party said again: " It's just going to be haunted."
"..."
"The person with high yang energy is fine." Wang Kuanyou said.
Chen Xishuang felt that he was bisexual, and his yang energy would not be too strong, so he moved a little towards Qian Qinna carefully.
The other party saw that Yang Qi was very strong.
When Wang Xiaobei saw Chen Xishuang like that, she also leaned over.
Qianqian was caught between two sides at once, and he walked to the side with a shovel on his shoulder to dig soil.The others started digging without talking nonsense.
Chen Yang grabbed the hoe and dug: "You find a place to sit."
"Don't worry about me." Chao Jian began to look at the night again.
"I'm afraid you'll be tired from walking on crutches." Chen Yang quickly dug up the soil, "Should I dig deep, or spread to the side?"
Chao Jian: "Whatever."
Other people around waiting for the answer: "..." Then just do whatever you want, dig whatever you want.
The rustling sound in the yard continued, and no one communicated with each other, just kept digging.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yang stopped digging and straightened up to slow down, not wanting to dig out his pockets and ask Chao Jian what time it was.
Chao Jian reached into his pocket with one hand, took out the phone and pressed it: "Eleven o'clock."
Chen Yang was startled, they had been digging for more than ten minutes, why haven't they...
"Me me! I dug it!"
Wang Xiaobei's voice came diagonally from Chen Yang. She threw away the shovel and squatted down to have a look. She didn't know what she saw, and she fell down on the ground in fright.
"What did you dig up? You said it."
Others gathered towards her one after another, and when they saw what was in the pit, their expressions changed.
It's a memorial tablet!
The tablet was lying sideways in the pit, with Jiang's surname engraved on it.
This is one of the Jiang clan.
"No wonder there is no one in the ancestral hall. It turned out to be buried in the courtyard." Chen Xishuang scratched the bristling hairs on his body, "Normally, the tablets are placed in the ancestral hall for offerings. What is this for?"
"Don't discuss it yet, keep digging." Wang Kuanyou said in a deep voice.
Everyone returns to everyone after hearing the words.
Chen Yang observed his partner's expression, but didn't see any surprise from him: "Do you know it's a tablet?"
Chao Jian: "Guess."
Chen Yang believed in his statement: "I have been digging for so long, why haven't I found anything?"
"Not deep enough."
Chen Yang put the hoe into the pit: "That's enough."
"Not enough." Chao Jian said.
Chen Yang put away such a useless topic, and then bent down to dig a hole.
With crutches on both arms of Chao Jian, she looked at him silently, and after a while, she turned her eyes back to the night sky.
After a while, the rustling in the yard stopped.
Everyone put down the farm tools in their hands, you looked at me, I saw him dripping with sweat, and he was relatively speechless.
They dug up thirteen tablets.
It's all the Jiang family!
"It's gone?" Chen Yang wiped his sweat and said out of breath.
Leaning on the crutches toward Jian to look at the tablets, Chen Yang threw away his hoe and followed him, waiting for him to read them all before asking, "Did you find anything?"
"You haven't?" Chao Jian asked without answering.
Chen Yang felt like a blow to the head, he was stunned and told the truth: "I didn't."
Tired of digging holes, his mind was empty, he just followed the young man every step of the way, watching what the other party was looking at, without distraction, and forgot to think.
Chao Jian's brows furrowed instantly.
A head teacher's coercion directly hit the door, Chen Yang was beaten dizzy, he licked his lips: "I'll check again."
So everyone saw the young people looking at the plaques one by one again, as if they were doing a college entrance examination paper.
They wanted to ask something, but were blocked by the subtle low air pressure.
Chen Yang used his heart this time, and soon discovered the abnormality.
Of the thirteen tablets, eleven are placed horizontally, while the other two are not, they are tilted.
That bevel faces...
Chen Yang tilted his head, his eyes followed the oblique angle...he saw the courtyard gate.
The oblique angle is facing the courtyard gate!
Chen Yang's heart beat violently a few times, and he immediately went to find his partner's position, unknowingly begging for praise.
Chao Jian didn't seem to see his eyes: "Find a branch and connect the corners of the two tablets."
Can we connect together?Chen Yang's breathing became a little messed up in an instant, and just as he was about to find a branch, a slender branch was handed to him.
"Take it, let's see how you connect." Chen Xishuang blinked his fox eyes, eagerly watching and deciphering.
Chen Yang shortened the long branch a bit, held it in his hand, and began to draw lines in the next second.
The others all stood aside, their eyes following the line drawn by Chen Yang, they were eager to see what would happen next.
Chen Yang can't do it after a while.
"Don't just look at it, come and draw another oblique corner of the tablet, it will be faster." Chen Yang panted and called Wang Kuanyou, "Jiang Ren, you go."
Wang Kuanyou responded.
"You're young, your waist isn't very good, it looks slender, but it's generally tough." Liu Shun couldn't help sighing when he saw that Chen Yang was beating his back and his waist.
Chen Yang had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, he cleared his cough, trying to maintain his youthful image: "I dug a hole earlier."
"We've been digging for about a while, and now you let me connect, I won't work as hard as you."
"Yes, I can even connect." Wang Xiaobei said.
Although Xiaoxiang didn't speak, her eyes fell on Chen Yang's waist, as if there were a hundred thousand reasons there.
Chen Xishuang was also watching, with strange eyes, wondering what was stuffed in his head.
Chen Yang: "..."
Okay, I got it, my back is bad.
Not long after, the oblique corners of the two tablets were connected together, and Chen Yang drew a circle on that point.
Wang Kuanyou stepped in with a shovel and dug without any explanation.
Chen Yang threw away the branch in his hand, and stood with Chao Jian covered in sweat, what would he dig out?There were many guesses in his mind, and one of them swelled at an unstoppable speed.
Wang Kuanyou looks gentle, but he can use a shovel. He dug a large piece of soil to the side, and he stopped digging soon after.
There is a talisman in the soil.
To be precise, it is something wrapped in layers of talismans, long in shape.
tablets.
This is the unanimous thought of everyone.
But whose tablet is it?
Chen Yang helped them give the answer that was frantic in his heart: "Jiang Miao's."
"impossible?"
Wang Xiaobei was taken aback after she finished speaking, and then she remembered their original purpose of entering the ancestral hall.
They came to look for Jiang Miao.
could not find it.
The ancestral hall cannot hide people, they have even touched the walls.
So to say...
Wang Xiaobei pulled Xiaoxiang's arm and clenched it tightly: "Isn't Jiang Miao alive?"
"Are we all wrong?"
No one answered her question.
Chen Yang's expression was serious: "Find someone to tear the talisman apart."
Wang Kuanyou also had the same plan. He thought that he had just encountered a ghost hitting the wall not long ago, and paused when he stretched out his hand: "The yang energy is strong."
Qian Qin came up behind.
Qian Qin didn't tear it up randomly, he looked up, down, left, and right, as if there was an invisible pen in his hand calculating the breakthrough point, and only after the calculation did he start to do it.
Those dense talismans were torn off by him in a few strokes.
The tablet inside was exposed.
Ginger's Ginger Miao!
"It's really hers..." Everyone was shocked.
Chen Yang was no longer surprised at this meeting, and even had a feeling that it was expected.
It is somewhat unreasonable to hide a living person under the watchful eyes of a ghost, but it is possible to hide the ghost of a dead person.
Jiang Ren was looking for Jiang Miao's tablet.
"Are ghosts afraid too?" Chen Xishuang murmured in disbelief.
"Of course, ghosts are not omnipotent." Wang Xiaobei stepped back a few steps away from the tablet, "It's said that ghosts have to evolve too."
After the two children finished speaking one sentence at a time, the courtyard was completely silent.
The result of the current investigation is...Jiang Miao is dead.
Jiang Da didn't know where he learned about this sorcery before he was alive. In order to prevent Jiang Miao's ghost from being discovered by the Jiang people, he used the ancestors of the Jiang family to stop the Jiang people.
Jiang Da really dotes on Jiang Miao.
Jiang Ren also really hated Jiang Miao, so hated that even if she died, he would not let her go.
What Jiang Miao has done, how many things he has done, and what kind of standpoint he has, Chen Xishuang, who loves to watch love triangles, can imagine it, and he believes that other people can too.
"Aren't talismans exorcising ghosts?"
"All kinds of talismans are not only for exorcising ghosts. We laymen should not discuss this."
"What should we do now?"
Wang Kuanyou asked Chen Yang that he had regarded him as the backbone of the team.
What Chen Yang wanted was to call Jiang Miao out, let her tell everything about that year, and fill in the part that should be hers.
"Jiang Miao." Chen Yang shouted.
The tablet lying in the broken talisman did not respond at all.
There are thirteen tablet tablets lying in the yard, and nine living people surround No.14. This scene has an indescribable horror.
"The wrong has its head, the debt has its owner, and you have to bear the consequences of your sins." Wang Xiaobei's tone was not very good. She is an only child and doesn't understand the love and hatred between brothers and sisters, but she knows that partial parents will make people feel sad. Children's relationship is distorted.
Even if a bowl of water is uneven, don't just pour it on one side.
"If you don't come out, we will hand you over to Jiang Ren." Chen Xishuang threatened, "He has been looking for you, and he said he wanted to find Jiang Da, and asked Jiang Da where he hid you."
"We count to three!"
Chen Xishuang took a branch and hit it twice beside the tablet: "One, two...two point five, two point six, two point seven..."
"Someone is here." Chao Jian said suddenly.
Before other people could say "No", "Who is there", "No one is coming", "I didn't hear the voice", Chen Yang nervously asked Chao Jian: "How many people?"
Chao Jian said: "One."
Chen Yang's expression made everyone else panic.
Someone really came.
They didn't hear any noise, did they float?
"It's human." Xiaoxiang supported Wang Xiaobei who was about to collapse, "There is no place to hide in the courtyard or the ancestral hall, and we can't get out."
A dead end.
Look towards Jane at the closed courtyard door.
People have already arrived outside the hospital?Everyone held their breath and stiffened.
The sound of footsteps came more than ten seconds later. Everyone looked at the boy on crutches strangely. How did his ears grow?
"Here we come!" Chen Yang shouted in a low voice.
Chao Jian tapped his overly tight leg muscles with a cane to prevent him from convulsing.
The lock on the door was locked in the yard, but the person who came did not stay outside the door, just pushed the door open and walked in.
Accompanied by a rough and dull smoke smell.
It's the village chief!
For a while, the nine people each reacted.
Xiao Xiang supported Wang Xiaobei with one hand, wrapped the wire with the other hand, and looked warily at the old man who came in with a kerosene lamp.
Wang Kuanyou's body stiffened.
Chen Xishuang was between Liu Shun and Zhang Guangrong, and he didn't dare to show his air.
Qian Qin took down the big backpack on his back, and Chen Yang didn't suspect at all that he was going to take out a kitchen knife.
What is the position of the village chief, and where does he stand?Does he know about Jiang Dazang and Jiang Miao?Chen Yang's brain was running fast, but his body language was silent.
Pulling his arm towards Jane.
The village chief seemed to not see the dug-up place in the yard, the tablet lying on it, and the nine people who were facing the enemy, so he walked directly to Jiang Miao's tablet.
"So it's here."
Chen Yang's pupils shrank, but the village chief didn't know.
The village head is also looking for Jiang Miao.
As Chen Yang thought about it, he saw the old man squatting down, took out the cigarette rod pinned to the waist of his trousers, rubbed a handful of shredded tobacco into the pot of the cigarette bag, and lit it with a match.
The shredded tobacco was burning and a wisp of white mist drifted out. The old man took a puff of the cigarette with his shriveled mouth.
The ravines drawn by wrinkles all over his face softened a lot.
"I just said why I haven't been able to find it..." The village chief said to himself, "I really know how to hide."
The next moment the village chief picked up the kerosene lamp, lifted the yellowed lampshade, and loosened his withered hands.
At that moment, the flames engulfed the broken talismans and tablets on the ground.
In Chen Yang's field of vision, the old man looked at the memorial tablet surrounded by flames, and his posture of smoking dry tobacco gradually relaxed, and there was still a trace of satisfaction in his eyes that were jumping with flames.
It seems that the old man is on Jiang Ren's side.
Knowing that Jiang Ren hated Jiang Miao, he wanted to help him find her, so as to suppress the other party's resentment.
To put it bluntly, it is to please.
It's just... Wouldn't it be self-assertive to do so?
Ginger prefers to come by himself, right?
He hated it for so long, and it burned out in a flash. Can he calm down in his heart?
Judging from Jiang Ren's way of dealing with the middle-aged man, the more he hates a person, the more he will make the other person unable to survive or die.
The village chief thought of this belatedly. He changed his previous ease, hurriedly put out the fire, and then went to mess up the positions of other tablets.
Chen Yang hurriedly pulled Chao Jian back to the ancestral hall, and the others followed.
There was a gust of wind in the yard.
The thirteen tablets distributed around began to vibrate, and a shrill cry came from Jiang Miao's tablet.
One after another, full of panic and despair.
I was threatened just now, and there was no sound of being burned.
Now she is so afraid.
"Ginger seedlings... Jiang seedlings... Jiang seedlings..."
Suddenly a faint call sounded outside the courtyard.
A chill wrapped around Chen Yang's ankles, the blood flowing in his body froze for a moment, and he shivered greatly.
The calling sound became clearer, softer and gentler, like a nursery rhyme to lull a baby to sleep, mixed with a pleasant smile, but it sounded creepy.
"Ginger seedlings..."
"Ginger seedlings..."
The burnt black tablet trembled violently, and the shrill voice turned into a begging for mercy: "Stop screaming, stop screaming..."
"Ginger seedlings... Jiang seedlings..."
The call came to the yard.
"Ah! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The calling stopped.
Chen Yang's heartbeat also stopped, and just when his throat was so tight that he couldn't help coughing out, the calling sounded again, softer than before.
At the same time, there was a rancid smell in the yard.
"Ginger seedlings..."
The charred tablet was cracked inch by inch, and strands of crimson blood leaked from the gaps. Jiang Miao seemed to have become a living person, crushed to pieces, screaming again and again.
Jiang Ren's chuckle was mixed with the screams.
"I found you, Jiang Miao."
The powerful ghostly aura disappeared with the shattered tablets, and the other tablets in the yard fell silent, just like Chen Yang, in a trance as if they had narrowly escaped death.
The ginger man's ghost never showed up, which did not affect his terror in the slightest.
The village chief got up from the ground, beat the dust on his pants with the cigarette stick, and scolded Chen Yang and his party as if nothing had happened, urging them to go back.
"Tomorrow morning, it's the last day. Don't forget the profit of 1500!"
Chen Yang and the others walked out of the courtyard, and the voice of the village chief came from behind: "Jiang Da, pay homage to the ancestors at zero o'clock!"
Liu Shun and Zhang Guangrong's complexions turned pale.
As soon as the word "worship ancestors" came out, the gates of hell were opened, and the matter of Jiang Ren's arrest of Jiang Miao was temporarily forgotten by everyone.
Now four of them have died in this group, and the last three have violated Jiangren's taboo.
Only the death of the first one was related to worshiping ancestors.
Died of selling the goods drawn by Jiang Da.
Chen Yang suddenly asked Wang Xiaobei: "What were you talking about when Jiang Miao died?"
"I'm sorry." Wang Xiaobei followed Chen Yang's train of thought, and answered without delay, "I just kept saying it, many times, and I didn't let her say it, but she was still talking, talking and talking."
Chen Yang looked at her straight.
Wang Xiaobei's scalp was numb: "Why, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't say it to you. She sold that thing." Chen Yang looked away, and seriously expressed his conjecture, "Selling it means I'm sorry for the Jiang family, and I don't deserve to be the Jiang family."
"That's why she said sorry."
"What does the one drawn represent..." Chen Yang asked himself.
Chen Xishuang used his imagination: "The heirloom of the Jiang family?"
Wang Kuanyou said: "Property."
"No, not right..." Chen Yang looked back at the ancestral hall, "The ancestral hall, the family..."
His eyes widened suddenly: "It's a family property!"
Every time the ancestors are worshipped, a Jiang Da chooses a piece of goods as the family property, and whoever sells it will be a prodigal.
The chain of clues can be matched in no time.
However, this freshly released information was only displayed for a few seconds before disappearing.
How are they going to hide?
They set up stalls to sell things during the day, and draw bamboo sticks at night. No one knows which ones cannot be sold.
It's all about luck.
Liu Shun and Zhang Guangrong were stared at each other, they still didn't say a word, they only responded to everyone with pale expressions.
Chen Yang gnawed the corner of his mouth irritably, there must be a way to break this situation.
Must have!
What is the way...
Think about it carefully, where is the loophole...
Chen Yang stopped unconsciously, and looked at Chao Jian for a moment, as if he would see the answer if he looked at it for a while.
Chao Jian: "..."
"Okay, don't look at it, no."
Find something to do, and the anxiety in your heart will be weakened.
Chen Yang had been to the ancestral hall in the morning, and he was familiar with the road inside and out. When he came back at night, he would have eight more teammates by his side. It stands to reason that he would be very relaxed.
However, it does not.
The ancestral hall near midnight is eerie.
In addition to being afraid, Chen Yang couldn't figure out one thing. There is no place to hide people in the ancestral hall. Where can Jiang Miao hide?
The more I can't figure it out, the more I feel an indescribable feeling...
Unknowingly reaching the base of the wall, Chen Yang glanced at his teammates: "The door is locked, we have three ways, one, all climb over the wall and enter."
Everyone's eyes focused on the boy on crutches in unison.
A trace of strange emotion welled up in Chen Yang's heart. His name was Huduzi, and it was coming fiercely and uncontrollably. He couldn't help but said, "Can the rest of you turn?"
Everyone was asked, and then went to look at the courtyard wall around the ancestral hall.
so high.
They lean their necks back to inhale. Those who play extreme sports well, or those who have special training can turn over, it will be very difficult for ordinary people.So they fell silent.
"How did you get in before?" Wang Kuanyou asked Chen Yang, was the door unlocked?
Chen Yang said: "Run up, climb up." He pointed to a place, "A place like this can be held by hand, and you can go up in a few strokes."
Everyone: "..."
few times?How many strokes?They couldn't imagine it.
"You often climb rocks with your bare hands." Chen Xi's eyes were starry, and he wanted to pounce on him to ask for a group photo.
"Climbing? Unarmed?" Chen Yang looked inexplicable, "I don't have that extreme spirit, and I'm afraid of falling."
"..."
"Then you usually like to climb over walls." Chen Xishuang insisted.
Chen Yang twitched: "I don't have this habit, the last time I read it was skipping class in high school, it happened many years ago."
The wall fell silent.Everyone tacitly believed that Chen Yang had lied. As for the reason, the other party refused to tell, which meant it was private, and they did not investigate further.
Chen Yang observed the changes in everyone's expressions, and saw their questioning and silence. They thought he was lying.
is it necessary?Just over the wall, what he said is the truth.
Chen Yang couldn't help feeling weird, girls were naturally relatively weak in physical fitness, and middle-aged people's physical values dropped a lot, and they were not easy to climb over the wall.
Like Qian Qin, Wang Kuanyou, and Chen Xishuang, these three young people, Chen Yang thought they were fine.Can't you?
Is it so difficult?Chen Yang looked up at the high wall, his eyes unconsciously showing a bit of trance.
"clatter"
The sound of the cane being knocked on the ground was heard, and Chen Yang's eyes became clear.
"I can't do it." Wang Xiaobei raised her hand on behalf of the team.
Chen Yang nodded to show that he understood, and he said the second option: "Second, stacking arhats."
This option was voted down faster than the previous one.No, it cannot be stacked.
If you change the environment, you can try it. Now everyone is under a lot of psychological pressure, mentally fragile, and physical strength is not fully restored. No one can be the foundation.
"Then there is only a third way, to break the lock."
Chen Yang pointed to the copper products on the door, and pursed his lips: "This lock is like the big copper lock used in the Republic of China period. It is very strong, and it will be exposed if it is forcibly knocked too loudly."
Everyone: "..." That means neither horizontally nor vertically.
"Do we know how to open the lock here?" Chen Xishuang was quick to think, "It's like on TV, use a wire to open it."
Xiao Xiang took out something from the pocket of his denim jacket, and said in a calm tone, "I can provide the wire."
Chen Yang: "..."
"How can there be someone here..."
As Chen Yang was talking, a hand stretched out beside him: "Iron wire."
He extended that slender hand to look at its owner, with surprise in his eyes: "You know how?"
Chao Jian: "Try."
That's right, this person is not just looking for a sense of presence, Chen Yang excitedly took the wire from Xiaoxiang, broke it, and straightened it.
"I want two, poke together."
As soon as the words were finished, Ms. Xiaoxiang showed the wire again in a calm and breezy manner, a large plate.
"..."
Chao Jian lowered the crutch by one section, put her arm on it, fished for the copper lock with one hand, and pinched two iron wires with the thumb and index finger of the other hand.
Chen Yang stood aside and watched, while the others watched from behind.
Wang Kuanyou reminded Chen Yang to turn on the phone, otherwise he would not be able to see clearly when unlocking it.
As soon as Chen Yang put his hand into his jacket pocket, his partner said no, and he whispered, "Then what should I do?"
"Stand." Chao Jian picked up the copper lock, bent down and leaned forward.
Chen Yang waited intently.
The picker is also waiting. Picking a lock with wire is a technical job. When Chen Xishuang was a child, he followed what he learned on TV and broke the locks at home several times. He felt that the chance of success was slim, so he simply prayed.
The remaining few people did not make a sound, so as not to disturb the one who was trying to open the lock.
When the click sounded, no one reacted.
Is it on?That's it?
Chen Yang was also a little confused, but this didn't affect his pride. He took off the lock and seriously informed everyone: "It's open."
The vanity patriarchal mentality that my children are really proud of has reappeared.
The gate of the ancestral hall was very heavy, and when Chen Yang pushed it, a few pieces of the cracked iron sheet fell off. When the wind blew, the smell of rust filled everyone's arms.
Everyone waited and watched at the door for a while, making sure there was no noise inside before going in.
Liu Shun closed the door: "Turn on your cellphones, it's too dark."
After a while, there were eight more beams of light in the courtyard, and the places where they couldn't reach were still pitch black, as if something was hiding there, staring straight at them.
"It's really eerie." Chen Xishuang muttered softly.
"If it's in a ghost movie, now we are the death squad, and we will die every once in a while."
"Okay, stop talking, go in quickly."
Chen Yang has been to the ancestral hall, there are only eight chairs, a big incense burner, a cabinet, and nothing else, so he didn't follow in, but stayed in the courtyard.
The focus of that trip was inside the ancestral hall, and the yard did not pay attention.
Just remember that there are trees and stones.
Chen Yang took the mobile phone to take pictures here and there, then turned on Chao Jian's mobile phone, one in each hand, and the two beams of light illuminated together.
"One, two... four... five..."
five trees.All old trees.
Chen Yang went to count the stones again, big and small, too many to count.
"Will there be a mystery?" Chen Yang said to himself, and knocked his hand on the big rock closest to him, and the crutch hit his forearm.
"Don't touch it." Chao Jian frowned and stopped.
At this moment, Wang Xiaobei's exclamation suddenly came from the ancestral hall. Chen looked up and found 60 cabinets.
Although he revealed it, the impact of seeing it with his own eyes was still great.
Chen Yang remembered the ghost in the ancestral hall, the other party was guiding him to open the cabinet, and then found that the bamboo sticks corresponded to the goods.
Therefore, it is inferred that the matter of worshiping the ancestors.
This is the ancestral hall of the Jiang family, and the ghost also belongs to the Jiang family.
There is only one purpose for doing that, the other party is telling Chen Yang that whether the total amount of goods sold for three days can meet the standard depends on the worship of ancestors.
Find a way to avoid it, and don't sell the goods that have been drawn, so that no one will die.
If there are more people alive, the per capita quota will not increase significantly, and it will be much easier for them to meet the total quota required by the village chief.
Setting up a stall for three days and earning 1500 yuan is Jiang Ren's curse. From another perspective, this is his wish.
After completing that amount, the ginger man will let them go.
Chen Yang still doesn't understand, given Jiang's situation, the Jiang family will not recognize him, and it is estimated that it is impossible to include him in the genealogy. Why is he still obsessed with the reputation of the Jiang family after his death? He must do a good job in business. To make a profit.
Included in the genealogy...
Something flashed through Chen Yang's mind, but he didn't have time to catch it.
That ghost must have been very afraid of Jiang Ren, so he stayed in the ancestral hall and didn't dare to go out, and didn't dare to make other moves, for fear of being noticed by Jiang Ren.
Who is it from the Jiang family?
Chen Yang collected his scattered thoughts and continued to explore those trees and stones.
The distribution is irregular.
Chen Yang rubbed his sore eyes, maybe there was, but he didn't see it, he asked his partner: "Don't you say something?"
Chao Jian doesn't seem to have that plan.
Chen Yang said, "It was you who reminded me that the place of Tibetans is in the ancestral hall."
Glancing at him at Jane: "I just remind you to use your brain more."
Chen Yang: "..."
"Then where do you think Jiang Miao will be in the ancestral hall?"
Chen Yang didn't quarrel with the young man, he was only concerned about the progress of the mission: "The ancestral hall is very big and empty, and there is no way to hide people, unless there is a mechanism, she hides in the dark room."
"If she is hiding in a dark room, then someone will bring her food and drink, and she has to hide it from Jiang Ren. Can this be done? Even the village chief can't do it."
"The village chief didn't even allow us to call us by wrong names. He wasn't pretending to be nervous. He was really afraid of Jiang Ren. He only wanted to fulfill the other party's wish and send him away. It is impossible to do such a thing."
As Chen Yang spoke, he unconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the branches and leaves hanging by his arm, and the crutch came up again.
Stones can't be touched, and neither can trees?
Chen Yang stuffed the two mobile phones into his pockets, pressed his hands on the young man's shoulders, stood on tiptoes, and looked closer at him.
Looking back at Jane, she said, "Go away."
"Let's go later." Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, "Did you see the tricks in this yard?"
Chao Jian tensed his jaw: "I didn't see it."
Chen Yang didn't believe a word: "Then you won't let me touch it?"
"dirty."
Chen Yang was dumbfounded.
"You know what to tell me, so that I can take timely countermeasures." Chen Yang taught patiently and gently, "We are a team, partners, cohabitants, life and death friends, don't you think so?"
Chao Jian's face was dark: "Have you finished speaking, you can take your hands away."
Chen Yang: "..."
It was quiet in the yard, and it was also very quiet in the ancestral hall. Both groups of people were investigating.
Chen Yang still felt that the trees and stones were unusual.
Not long after, Chao Jian looked up at the night sky, and Chen Yang also looked over, and the hazy moon was completely covered by black clouds.
The whole sky is like a black cloth with no stars.
"Call them out." Chao Jian said suddenly.
Chen Yang immediately called for someone.
Zhao Jian twitched his lips and glanced at him, and he was the most obedient only at this time.
As soon as the seven people in the ancestral hall came out, they turned to Jane and said, "Go find a shovel, one for each."
Wang Kuanyou and Chen Yang looked at each other, and left the courtyard without asking any questions.
Qian Qin followed behind Wang Kuanyou.
Then came Xiaoxiang and Liu Shun, they didn't ask the reason either.
Zhang Guangrong was waiting for someone to ask.
Wang Xiaobei was that person, and she asked impatiently, "Is there a corpse in the yard?"
Jiang Sheng buried another one before his death?
"Let's go find the shovel first." Chen Xi said while running outside.
"Where can I look for it? Leave the shovel at home. Will someone leave it at the door? Hey, wait for me—" Wang Xiaobei chased after Chen Xishuang.
Zhang Guangrong was still on the spot, he looked at Chen Yang: "What do you want to dig?"
Chen Yang peeked at his partner, seeing that the other party showed no signs of coming forward, he had no choice but to deal with it himself: "You'll know when you dig it out."
"I can understand that you don't know anything, but you just feel that there may be something in the yard, or you think there should be something, so you let everyone take the risk to find the shovel?"
Zhang Guangrong is straightforward, no matter what he thinks, he will not blindly follow anyone's arrangement.
Chen Yang said calmly: "We infer based on the situation of the ancestral hall. There is no problem inside. There are so many trees and stones in the courtyard outside, which is unreasonable."
"Furthermore, even if you just feel that the yard is wrong, everyone has to dig it out. The clues are not on the surface. If you don't explore, there will be no clues."
"Sometimes a little sense of incongruity can extract important information."
Zhang Guangrong shifted his examining eyes to the boy on crutches, and he turned and left after a few seconds.
Chen Yang lowered his voice: "What's under the ground?"
Leaning on the crutches toward Jane, she slowly peeled the milk and ate it: "You'll only find out after digging, just like you said."
Chen Yang: "..."
“They trust us a lot,” he sighs.
"It's not trusting us, it's wanting to get out alive." Chao Jian bit the milk tablet and snorted lightly, "Everyone stopped where they were, not knowing where to go. At this time, they need someone to point them in a direction to move. There is hope when they move. .”
Chen Yang hadn't heard this long speech for a long time, so he was stunned.
These words are true upon reflection.
Even if nothing is dug out in the end, it can also play a role in eliminating. There is no problem underground, but the ancestral hall is the problem.
It is useful after all.Just moving is better than staying where you are.
Chen Xishuang was the first one to come back. He gave Chen Yang an extra hoe, and said that there was a dog in that house. Fortunately, he was an idiot, so he didn't bark when he saw him.
"I'm the fastest." Chen Xishuang dropped the shovel to the ground and sat on his buttocks. "Everyone is going their own way. I just turn my head while walking. When I walk at night, I always feel that there is someone behind me."
"Then I thought again, I look like him and have the same body, other ghosts will think I'm special to him and won't harm me, if he comes, maybe I can be with him Let’s talk about it, and I feel a little bit empathetic, so I’m not afraid if I think so.”
Chen Yang touched the handle of the hoe and said solemnly, "Be careful tomorrow."
"What's the matter?" Chen Xi stood up with tears in his eyes, "Don't say a word without beginning and end, talk more, brother."
"Tomorrow is the climax and end of the tragedy back then. I've said it before. I'm afraid you will forget it. Let me remind you."
Chen Xishuang swallowed his saliva in a "gulu", really forgot, his goldfish memory!
At that time, Jiang Ren died on the last day of the market. It might not be in the morning, but at noon?Or at night, after the stalls in Laoji Village are closed?
It's almost over, and I have to work hard to sell things tomorrow, and I will die if the per capita quota does not exceed the line.
"Lord..." Chen Xishuang prayed again.
After a while, Wang Kuanyou and others came back one after another. They didn't find a shovel and they didn't have an empty hand. Everyone was holding something that could dig soil.
"Go ahead." Chen Yang said, "Don't touch the trees and rocks."
"Is there any taboo? I have already pulled the branches." Liu Shun said anxiously.
"I..." Wang Xiaobei said in a crying voice, "I kicked a rock just now, and put my leg on it."
Chen Yang looked at the Chao Jian.
"Don't touch it while digging." Chao Jian's words turned without any emotional fluctuations, "It's not dangerous if you touch it."
Except for the cautious Xiaoxiang and Qian Qin, everyone else met, not only Liu Shun and Wang Xiaobei, they just didn't make a fuss, and they were relieved to hear the boy on crutches say that. Who would have thought that the other party said again: " It's just going to be haunted."
"..."
"The person with high yang energy is fine." Wang Kuanyou said.
Chen Xishuang felt that he was bisexual, and his yang energy would not be too strong, so he moved a little towards Qian Qinna carefully.
The other party saw that Yang Qi was very strong.
When Wang Xiaobei saw Chen Xishuang like that, she also leaned over.
Qianqian was caught between two sides at once, and he walked to the side with a shovel on his shoulder to dig soil.The others started digging without talking nonsense.
Chen Yang grabbed the hoe and dug: "You find a place to sit."
"Don't worry about me." Chao Jian began to look at the night again.
"I'm afraid you'll be tired from walking on crutches." Chen Yang quickly dug up the soil, "Should I dig deep, or spread to the side?"
Chao Jian: "Whatever."
Other people around waiting for the answer: "..." Then just do whatever you want, dig whatever you want.
The rustling sound in the yard continued, and no one communicated with each other, just kept digging.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yang stopped digging and straightened up to slow down, not wanting to dig out his pockets and ask Chao Jian what time it was.
Chao Jian reached into his pocket with one hand, took out the phone and pressed it: "Eleven o'clock."
Chen Yang was startled, they had been digging for more than ten minutes, why haven't they...
"Me me! I dug it!"
Wang Xiaobei's voice came diagonally from Chen Yang. She threw away the shovel and squatted down to have a look. She didn't know what she saw, and she fell down on the ground in fright.
"What did you dig up? You said it."
Others gathered towards her one after another, and when they saw what was in the pit, their expressions changed.
It's a memorial tablet!
The tablet was lying sideways in the pit, with Jiang's surname engraved on it.
This is one of the Jiang clan.
"No wonder there is no one in the ancestral hall. It turned out to be buried in the courtyard." Chen Xishuang scratched the bristling hairs on his body, "Normally, the tablets are placed in the ancestral hall for offerings. What is this for?"
"Don't discuss it yet, keep digging." Wang Kuanyou said in a deep voice.
Everyone returns to everyone after hearing the words.
Chen Yang observed his partner's expression, but didn't see any surprise from him: "Do you know it's a tablet?"
Chao Jian: "Guess."
Chen Yang believed in his statement: "I have been digging for so long, why haven't I found anything?"
"Not deep enough."
Chen Yang put the hoe into the pit: "That's enough."
"Not enough." Chao Jian said.
Chen Yang put away such a useless topic, and then bent down to dig a hole.
With crutches on both arms of Chao Jian, she looked at him silently, and after a while, she turned her eyes back to the night sky.
After a while, the rustling in the yard stopped.
Everyone put down the farm tools in their hands, you looked at me, I saw him dripping with sweat, and he was relatively speechless.
They dug up thirteen tablets.
It's all the Jiang family!
"It's gone?" Chen Yang wiped his sweat and said out of breath.
Leaning on the crutches toward Jian to look at the tablets, Chen Yang threw away his hoe and followed him, waiting for him to read them all before asking, "Did you find anything?"
"You haven't?" Chao Jian asked without answering.
Chen Yang felt like a blow to the head, he was stunned and told the truth: "I didn't."
Tired of digging holes, his mind was empty, he just followed the young man every step of the way, watching what the other party was looking at, without distraction, and forgot to think.
Chao Jian's brows furrowed instantly.
A head teacher's coercion directly hit the door, Chen Yang was beaten dizzy, he licked his lips: "I'll check again."
So everyone saw the young people looking at the plaques one by one again, as if they were doing a college entrance examination paper.
They wanted to ask something, but were blocked by the subtle low air pressure.
Chen Yang used his heart this time, and soon discovered the abnormality.
Of the thirteen tablets, eleven are placed horizontally, while the other two are not, they are tilted.
That bevel faces...
Chen Yang tilted his head, his eyes followed the oblique angle...he saw the courtyard gate.
The oblique angle is facing the courtyard gate!
Chen Yang's heart beat violently a few times, and he immediately went to find his partner's position, unknowingly begging for praise.
Chao Jian didn't seem to see his eyes: "Find a branch and connect the corners of the two tablets."
Can we connect together?Chen Yang's breathing became a little messed up in an instant, and just as he was about to find a branch, a slender branch was handed to him.
"Take it, let's see how you connect." Chen Xishuang blinked his fox eyes, eagerly watching and deciphering.
Chen Yang shortened the long branch a bit, held it in his hand, and began to draw lines in the next second.
The others all stood aside, their eyes following the line drawn by Chen Yang, they were eager to see what would happen next.
Chen Yang can't do it after a while.
"Don't just look at it, come and draw another oblique corner of the tablet, it will be faster." Chen Yang panted and called Wang Kuanyou, "Jiang Ren, you go."
Wang Kuanyou responded.
"You're young, your waist isn't very good, it looks slender, but it's generally tough." Liu Shun couldn't help sighing when he saw that Chen Yang was beating his back and his waist.
Chen Yang had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, he cleared his cough, trying to maintain his youthful image: "I dug a hole earlier."
"We've been digging for about a while, and now you let me connect, I won't work as hard as you."
"Yes, I can even connect." Wang Xiaobei said.
Although Xiaoxiang didn't speak, her eyes fell on Chen Yang's waist, as if there were a hundred thousand reasons there.
Chen Xishuang was also watching, with strange eyes, wondering what was stuffed in his head.
Chen Yang: "..."
Okay, I got it, my back is bad.
Not long after, the oblique corners of the two tablets were connected together, and Chen Yang drew a circle on that point.
Wang Kuanyou stepped in with a shovel and dug without any explanation.
Chen Yang threw away the branch in his hand, and stood with Chao Jian covered in sweat, what would he dig out?There were many guesses in his mind, and one of them swelled at an unstoppable speed.
Wang Kuanyou looks gentle, but he can use a shovel. He dug a large piece of soil to the side, and he stopped digging soon after.
There is a talisman in the soil.
To be precise, it is something wrapped in layers of talismans, long in shape.
tablets.
This is the unanimous thought of everyone.
But whose tablet is it?
Chen Yang helped them give the answer that was frantic in his heart: "Jiang Miao's."
"impossible?"
Wang Xiaobei was taken aback after she finished speaking, and then she remembered their original purpose of entering the ancestral hall.
They came to look for Jiang Miao.
could not find it.
The ancestral hall cannot hide people, they have even touched the walls.
So to say...
Wang Xiaobei pulled Xiaoxiang's arm and clenched it tightly: "Isn't Jiang Miao alive?"
"Are we all wrong?"
No one answered her question.
Chen Yang's expression was serious: "Find someone to tear the talisman apart."
Wang Kuanyou also had the same plan. He thought that he had just encountered a ghost hitting the wall not long ago, and paused when he stretched out his hand: "The yang energy is strong."
Qian Qin came up behind.
Qian Qin didn't tear it up randomly, he looked up, down, left, and right, as if there was an invisible pen in his hand calculating the breakthrough point, and only after the calculation did he start to do it.
Those dense talismans were torn off by him in a few strokes.
The tablet inside was exposed.
Ginger's Ginger Miao!
"It's really hers..." Everyone was shocked.
Chen Yang was no longer surprised at this meeting, and even had a feeling that it was expected.
It is somewhat unreasonable to hide a living person under the watchful eyes of a ghost, but it is possible to hide the ghost of a dead person.
Jiang Ren was looking for Jiang Miao's tablet.
"Are ghosts afraid too?" Chen Xishuang murmured in disbelief.
"Of course, ghosts are not omnipotent." Wang Xiaobei stepped back a few steps away from the tablet, "It's said that ghosts have to evolve too."
After the two children finished speaking one sentence at a time, the courtyard was completely silent.
The result of the current investigation is...Jiang Miao is dead.
Jiang Da didn't know where he learned about this sorcery before he was alive. In order to prevent Jiang Miao's ghost from being discovered by the Jiang people, he used the ancestors of the Jiang family to stop the Jiang people.
Jiang Da really dotes on Jiang Miao.
Jiang Ren also really hated Jiang Miao, so hated that even if she died, he would not let her go.
What Jiang Miao has done, how many things he has done, and what kind of standpoint he has, Chen Xishuang, who loves to watch love triangles, can imagine it, and he believes that other people can too.
"Aren't talismans exorcising ghosts?"
"All kinds of talismans are not only for exorcising ghosts. We laymen should not discuss this."
"What should we do now?"
Wang Kuanyou asked Chen Yang that he had regarded him as the backbone of the team.
What Chen Yang wanted was to call Jiang Miao out, let her tell everything about that year, and fill in the part that should be hers.
"Jiang Miao." Chen Yang shouted.
The tablet lying in the broken talisman did not respond at all.
There are thirteen tablet tablets lying in the yard, and nine living people surround No.14. This scene has an indescribable horror.
"The wrong has its head, the debt has its owner, and you have to bear the consequences of your sins." Wang Xiaobei's tone was not very good. She is an only child and doesn't understand the love and hatred between brothers and sisters, but she knows that partial parents will make people feel sad. Children's relationship is distorted.
Even if a bowl of water is uneven, don't just pour it on one side.
"If you don't come out, we will hand you over to Jiang Ren." Chen Xishuang threatened, "He has been looking for you, and he said he wanted to find Jiang Da, and asked Jiang Da where he hid you."
"We count to three!"
Chen Xishuang took a branch and hit it twice beside the tablet: "One, two...two point five, two point six, two point seven..."
"Someone is here." Chao Jian said suddenly.
Before other people could say "No", "Who is there", "No one is coming", "I didn't hear the voice", Chen Yang nervously asked Chao Jian: "How many people?"
Chao Jian said: "One."
Chen Yang's expression made everyone else panic.
Someone really came.
They didn't hear any noise, did they float?
"It's human." Xiaoxiang supported Wang Xiaobei who was about to collapse, "There is no place to hide in the courtyard or the ancestral hall, and we can't get out."
A dead end.
Look towards Jane at the closed courtyard door.
People have already arrived outside the hospital?Everyone held their breath and stiffened.
The sound of footsteps came more than ten seconds later. Everyone looked at the boy on crutches strangely. How did his ears grow?
"Here we come!" Chen Yang shouted in a low voice.
Chao Jian tapped his overly tight leg muscles with a cane to prevent him from convulsing.
The lock on the door was locked in the yard, but the person who came did not stay outside the door, just pushed the door open and walked in.
Accompanied by a rough and dull smoke smell.
It's the village chief!
For a while, the nine people each reacted.
Xiao Xiang supported Wang Xiaobei with one hand, wrapped the wire with the other hand, and looked warily at the old man who came in with a kerosene lamp.
Wang Kuanyou's body stiffened.
Chen Xishuang was between Liu Shun and Zhang Guangrong, and he didn't dare to show his air.
Qian Qin took down the big backpack on his back, and Chen Yang didn't suspect at all that he was going to take out a kitchen knife.
What is the position of the village chief, and where does he stand?Does he know about Jiang Dazang and Jiang Miao?Chen Yang's brain was running fast, but his body language was silent.
Pulling his arm towards Jane.
The village chief seemed to not see the dug-up place in the yard, the tablet lying on it, and the nine people who were facing the enemy, so he walked directly to Jiang Miao's tablet.
"So it's here."
Chen Yang's pupils shrank, but the village chief didn't know.
The village head is also looking for Jiang Miao.
As Chen Yang thought about it, he saw the old man squatting down, took out the cigarette rod pinned to the waist of his trousers, rubbed a handful of shredded tobacco into the pot of the cigarette bag, and lit it with a match.
The shredded tobacco was burning and a wisp of white mist drifted out. The old man took a puff of the cigarette with his shriveled mouth.
The ravines drawn by wrinkles all over his face softened a lot.
"I just said why I haven't been able to find it..." The village chief said to himself, "I really know how to hide."
The next moment the village chief picked up the kerosene lamp, lifted the yellowed lampshade, and loosened his withered hands.
At that moment, the flames engulfed the broken talismans and tablets on the ground.
In Chen Yang's field of vision, the old man looked at the memorial tablet surrounded by flames, and his posture of smoking dry tobacco gradually relaxed, and there was still a trace of satisfaction in his eyes that were jumping with flames.
It seems that the old man is on Jiang Ren's side.
Knowing that Jiang Ren hated Jiang Miao, he wanted to help him find her, so as to suppress the other party's resentment.
To put it bluntly, it is to please.
It's just... Wouldn't it be self-assertive to do so?
Ginger prefers to come by himself, right?
He hated it for so long, and it burned out in a flash. Can he calm down in his heart?
Judging from Jiang Ren's way of dealing with the middle-aged man, the more he hates a person, the more he will make the other person unable to survive or die.
The village chief thought of this belatedly. He changed his previous ease, hurriedly put out the fire, and then went to mess up the positions of other tablets.
Chen Yang hurriedly pulled Chao Jian back to the ancestral hall, and the others followed.
There was a gust of wind in the yard.
The thirteen tablets distributed around began to vibrate, and a shrill cry came from Jiang Miao's tablet.
One after another, full of panic and despair.
I was threatened just now, and there was no sound of being burned.
Now she is so afraid.
"Ginger seedlings... Jiang seedlings... Jiang seedlings..."
Suddenly a faint call sounded outside the courtyard.
A chill wrapped around Chen Yang's ankles, the blood flowing in his body froze for a moment, and he shivered greatly.
The calling sound became clearer, softer and gentler, like a nursery rhyme to lull a baby to sleep, mixed with a pleasant smile, but it sounded creepy.
"Ginger seedlings..."
"Ginger seedlings..."
The burnt black tablet trembled violently, and the shrill voice turned into a begging for mercy: "Stop screaming, stop screaming..."
"Ginger seedlings... Jiang seedlings..."
The call came to the yard.
"Ah! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The calling stopped.
Chen Yang's heartbeat also stopped, and just when his throat was so tight that he couldn't help coughing out, the calling sounded again, softer than before.
At the same time, there was a rancid smell in the yard.
"Ginger seedlings..."
The charred tablet was cracked inch by inch, and strands of crimson blood leaked from the gaps. Jiang Miao seemed to have become a living person, crushed to pieces, screaming again and again.
Jiang Ren's chuckle was mixed with the screams.
"I found you, Jiang Miao."
The powerful ghostly aura disappeared with the shattered tablets, and the other tablets in the yard fell silent, just like Chen Yang, in a trance as if they had narrowly escaped death.
The ginger man's ghost never showed up, which did not affect his terror in the slightest.
The village chief got up from the ground, beat the dust on his pants with the cigarette stick, and scolded Chen Yang and his party as if nothing had happened, urging them to go back.
"Tomorrow morning, it's the last day. Don't forget the profit of 1500!"
Chen Yang and the others walked out of the courtyard, and the voice of the village chief came from behind: "Jiang Da, pay homage to the ancestors at zero o'clock!"
Liu Shun and Zhang Guangrong's complexions turned pale.
As soon as the word "worship ancestors" came out, the gates of hell were opened, and the matter of Jiang Ren's arrest of Jiang Miao was temporarily forgotten by everyone.
Now four of them have died in this group, and the last three have violated Jiangren's taboo.
Only the death of the first one was related to worshiping ancestors.
Died of selling the goods drawn by Jiang Da.
Chen Yang suddenly asked Wang Xiaobei: "What were you talking about when Jiang Miao died?"
"I'm sorry." Wang Xiaobei followed Chen Yang's train of thought, and answered without delay, "I just kept saying it, many times, and I didn't let her say it, but she was still talking, talking and talking."
Chen Yang looked at her straight.
Wang Xiaobei's scalp was numb: "Why, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't say it to you. She sold that thing." Chen Yang looked away, and seriously expressed his conjecture, "Selling it means I'm sorry for the Jiang family, and I don't deserve to be the Jiang family."
"That's why she said sorry."
"What does the one drawn represent..." Chen Yang asked himself.
Chen Xishuang used his imagination: "The heirloom of the Jiang family?"
Wang Kuanyou said: "Property."
"No, not right..." Chen Yang looked back at the ancestral hall, "The ancestral hall, the family..."
His eyes widened suddenly: "It's a family property!"
Every time the ancestors are worshipped, a Jiang Da chooses a piece of goods as the family property, and whoever sells it will be a prodigal.
The chain of clues can be matched in no time.
However, this freshly released information was only displayed for a few seconds before disappearing.
How are they going to hide?
They set up stalls to sell things during the day, and draw bamboo sticks at night. No one knows which ones cannot be sold.
It's all about luck.
Liu Shun and Zhang Guangrong were stared at each other, they still didn't say a word, they only responded to everyone with pale expressions.
Chen Yang gnawed the corner of his mouth irritably, there must be a way to break this situation.
Must have!
What is the way...
Think about it carefully, where is the loophole...
Chen Yang stopped unconsciously, and looked at Chao Jian for a moment, as if he would see the answer if he looked at it for a while.
Chao Jian: "..."
"Okay, don't look at it, no."
