Today I was forced to resurrect again
Chapter 55
Gu Rong thought last night that only the fifth, sixth and seventh floors of Moon Bay are occupied by guests, and the second, third and fourth floors below may be unoccupied, or in other words—they are not occupied by people.
But when they gathered in the lobby on the first floor today, Gu Rong found that many guests actually came down from the second, third and fourth floors. Besides the people who went downstairs, there were also many people who took the elevator to the second floor with their bags. Go to the third or fourth floor.
But they all go straight upstairs and into the elevator, no one goes to the front desk to check in.
Moreover, the total number of people entering and exiting on the second, third and fourth floors combined is no less than the people in their three classes.
When he and Shen Qiuji went downstairs, they met a man and a woman who came out from the third floor and wanted to go downstairs with them.
Before the woman entered the elevator, she was still talking to the man beside her: "I came early today, and I can go to Shuiguan Temple to offer incense and ask for a lottery later."
"Yes." The man nodded, "I hope I can get a better signature."
After a few short sentences, they seemed to be concerned that there were other people in the elevator, so they stopped communicating. The masks on their faces were not enough, and they lowered their heads and turned their backs, as if they were very wary of other people seeing their faces. .
When they got out of the elevator, they didn't go with Gu Rong and Chen Qiuji, but went in the opposite direction - they left Moon Bay through the back door.
Therefore, Gu Rong made a special observation and finally found the pattern - the guests who lived on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors basically left through the front door through the lobby; Only use the back door.
It really felt like what Xie Zihan and Chen Jin said they were afraid of being found out about their whereabouts.
Seeing that there were other students around him, Gu Rong slightly raised his voice, pretending to be puzzled and said: "These guests are so strange, why do they only go through the back door?"
The class monitor, Che Ge, answered after hearing this: "You said you went through the back door, so you must have come here to open a room secretly to avoid being discovered."
Gu Rong also knew this was the case, he asked this question just to test whether only he and Shen Qiuji could see these people, since Che Ke also said that he had seen them, then these guests should be all human beings.
But it's too strange that they live on the second, third and fourth floors of Moon Bay without turning on the lights at night, right?Did they really go to bed at eight o'clock in the evening?
Gu Rong was puzzled, he and Shen Qiuji turned across the corridor, and when they reached the hall, they found Lu Xiaoyu sitting at the front desk with a disheveled face, staring at a plate of peach cakes on the cabinet with complicated expressions.
Su Hongliang was behind the cabinet, wiping away the pastry crumbs with a paper towel. Gu Rong was sitting in the elevator last night and saw the man in black was there, but she quickly turned around and went to the room behind the front desk - there was a security guard on duty room.
Could it be that this man is really a security guard?
Lu Xiaoyu helped Su Hongyan wipe the cakes on the table and then left, meeting Xie Zihan and Chen Jin at the front door.
Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji had just walked to them, when they heard Chen Jin admonishing Lu Xiaoyu with grief: "Lu Xiaoyu, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, Su Hongyou even said that she was married, You still want to date her? Let me warn you first, if you dare to do anything serious, I will break up with you. "
"How can I do three?" Lu Xiaoyu said helplessly, and quickly proved his innocence, "Didn't I go to buy barbecue last night? The barbecue stall is at the entrance of the station, and the owner of the barbecue stall said that he has been selling here for almost 20 years. I asked him about Su Hongyao, but he told me that Su Hongyong had never been married at all."
"You can't be the owner of a barbecue stall out of nothing, are you?" Chen Jin doubted, and he didn't forget to tell Lu Xiaoyu again, "As long as you don't do three things, we will still be good friends."
"Of course not. If you don't believe me, you will come out tonight and ask the owner of the barbecue stall." Lu Xiaoyu patted his chest and assured him, almost swearing to God, "Su Hongzi doesn't even have a wedding ring on her hand, how could she get married? Huh? The owner of the barbecue stall said that she had a boyfriend seven years ago, and she and his boyfriend were about to get married, but her boyfriend eloped with her best friend, and she has never heard from her since. Her best friend is still dumb , the owner of the barbecue stall said that Su Hongyou is miserable, she is so beautiful, and she doesn't understand why her boyfriend elopes with a mute, so she has never been married until now."
Xie Zihan tugged at Chen Jin's sleeve and said, "I think what Lu Xiaoyu said makes sense, if you really get married, you will definitely wear a wedding ring."
Chen Jin nodded, and apologized to Lu Xiaoyu: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I misunderstood you, Su Hongzi probably didn't like you, that's why she said such words and rejected you."
Lu Xiaoyu: "..."
You might as well fucking not apologize.
Xie Zihan wanted to laugh, and helped Lu Xiaoyu speak: "Maybe it's because Su Hongzi got emotionally hurt and never believed in men again?"
"It's not impossible." Chen Jin was obedient to Xie Zihan, no matter what he said, Chen Jin felt it was right.
The single Lu Xiaoyu was once again hit by the two of them, turned around and saw Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji coming out of the main entrance, his eyes widened, and he hurried to find his roommate, fearing that he would be caught by someone accidentally. Forcibly stuffed dog food.
After Mr. Su and Mr. Yang counted the number of people and made sure that all the students were there, they asked everyone to follow the team at Shanghuanshan and slowly head to Shuiguan Temple.
Gu Rong and the others walked a little behind the team, and when they went out, they saw that the family of Xisang was also packing up the things at the door, and the golden boy and jade girl who should have been burned with the old lady were still staying in the shade at the door of Grandma Xisang's house for some reason However, passers-by on the road couldn’t see them. After knowing that Huanshan Village was going to be closed after the Lantern Festival, Gu Rong understood why grandma’s funeral was so urgent. It is impossible to transport the coffin out of Huanshan.
Although I don't know why the pair of golden boys and girls are still there, but as soon as Gu Rong came out of Moon Bay, the two paper figurines seemed to have spotted him, and looked at him with round black bean eyes.
The jade girl was probably really sad, she wanted to cry when she saw Gu Rong, she reached out her hand to wipe the tears, but when she raised her hand, she found that her hand had been broken long ago, and she was even more heartbroken. The more intense it was, the smaller the shade that could accommodate the two of them to hide in the shade, and because there was a door god in Grandma Xisang's house, they couldn't enter the house, so they could only hug and curl up together, looking pitiful.
But Gu Rong didn't know why, he felt a little funny watching this scene, and he really laughed out.
When the golden boy and jade girl saw him having fun in the sun, even his mouth was deflated into wavy lines, his appearance was funny and aggrieved, and he didn't have the majestic and ghostly appearance on the day of the funeral.
"It's strange. The old lady was buried, but they never disappeared." Seeing Gu Rong laughing, Shen Qiuji whispered in Gu Rong's ear, "Those two paper figurines seem to have become spirits."
Gu Rong didn't understand, so he asked Shen Qiuji, "What is becoming a spirit?"
"Essence, spirit, ghost, monster, you can understand becoming a spirit, but you can't understand becoming a spirit? Basically, they all mean the same thing. You have obtained the aura of heaven and earth, or the essence of the sun and the moon, or there is something extremely yin around you." If you get some yin energy, you can be said to be a spirit." Gu Rong explained to him, "The red wire bell didn't ring because they didn't have any malicious intentions. These two paper figurines are not bad, but the family with happy mourning has good Yin virtue, these two paper figurines They didn't learn to be bad after becoming spirits, but they are evil things after all, and I don't know if they can never learn to be bad."
"These two cubs have done bad things." Gu Rong still remembered the frightening hallucination they created to push him into the coffin when the joy and mourning were in full swing. He could hold his revenge.
But the golden boy and jade girl later apologized to him. Presumably they came because they liked grandma very much, and they would do bad things because they were afraid that grandma would be bumped by Gu Rong when she was on the road.Gu Rong holds grudges, but after receiving a sincere apology, he will choose to forgive.
"Shen Qiuji, can you draw fake hands? Draw two more big umbrellas." Gu Rong raised his head, looked at Shen Qiuji and asked.
Shen Qiuji raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his eyes were a little surprised, because he guessed what Gu Rong was going to do.
So 2 minutes later, Shen Qiuji threw a fake hand and two big umbrellas under the shade of a tree in front of Grandma Xisang's house when no one was paying attention—Gu Rong was still afraid of these two paper figurines, so he didn't dare Then he stuffed it in and asked Shen Qiuji to go instead.
The golden boy and jade girl picked up the umbrella and prosthetic hand, and laughed happily. After putting on the prosthetic limbs, the golden boy and the golden boy opened the umbrella and ran into the sun, and finally disappeared in the direction of the village gate bouncing around.
Gu Rong watched them run away, and said with emotion, "The golden boy is not so cute after being tanned, should we paint a whitening pot for it? Maybe it will turn white after rubbing it on."
"You didn't think of it until they ran away." Shen Qiuji sounded funny, and he didn't know who was afraid that the golden boy and the jade girl wouldn't dare to go with him to deliver umbrellas, "Besides, do you really think they two look cute? "
"It's barely cute during the day, especially when it's screaming in the sun." Gu Rong pondered for a few seconds, then said seriously, "But at night, just pretend I didn't say that."
Shen Qiuji: "..."
Because of the matter of giving the umbrella to the golden boy and jade girl, they were delayed for a while, and when they followed up again, they had already reached the end of the line.
Su Hongzi was carrying a lot of things on her back and carrying a lot of things before she went out, who knew she was the fastest to go, and she had disappeared before the group of students going to sketch up the mountain, as if she had never said that she would give They act as guides.
Qin Yu, Ding Manguo, Tang Sisi and others, as well as a few other unfamiliar boys, were at the end. Ding Manguo and Tang Sisi walked slowly because their backs were sore from being kicked by Shen Qiuji last night. They can ask for leave and not come, but now they have to follow the crowd to feel safe, and they have to go to Shuiguan Temple to pray for blessings and hope that Jingxian will not follow them, so they insist on coming. Qin Yu stays behind the line to help them carry their bags. , to lighten the burden on the two of you.
On the way up the mountain, Gu Rong noticed that there were many bumps in the woods on both sides of the mountain road, gray or khaki-shaped hillocks, so he squinted his eyes to see what they were.
But the forest at the foot of the mountain was dense, and those hills were in the dense forest, so he couldn't see clearly.
He could only vaguely see a few people standing or sitting on those hills. Looking at the clothes on their bodies and the hair tied behind their heads, they should be women. A child is eating a piece of pie in his hand.
So Gu Rong asked Shen Qiuji: "Shen Qiuji, what are those mountain bags?"
"That is--"
As soon as Shen Qiuji said two words, Ding Manguo and Tang Sisi, who were scared by the Jingxian incident last night, walked in front of them, shouted, hugged each other tightly, and asked the people around them Person: "What's going on? Why are there so many graves here?"
"— Grave bag." Shen Qiuji also finished speaking.
Gu Rong: "..."
He shouldn't have asked that question.
Because after Shen Qiuji finished answering, Gu Rong saw a few larger graves that were closer to the mountain road on the side of the road.
There was even more than one woman sitting on a tomb. Several women sat together and shared a roast chicken. The clothes on their bodies were a little worn out, and they held a crying child in their hands. calm down.
There was a gray tombstone in front of the grave where they were sitting, and there were roasted chicken, rice, peach cakes, melons and fruits in front of the tombstone, all of which were obvious sacrifices.
What these women were and what they ate, the answer is already obvious.
They looked at the passers-by on the mountain road calmly, and one of the women even met Gu Rong's gaze. She seemed to realize that Gu Rong could see herself, and turned her head slightly, her eyes were a little more curious. .
Seeing this, Gu Rong didn't dare to look any more, immediately lowered his head and hugged Shen Qiuji's arm tightly, poked his finger straight at his waist, and asked him, "Shen Qiuji, can you see it?"
"See what?" Shen Qiuji asked him back, "Grave bag? I saw it."
Gu Rong took a deep breath and continued to ask: "What about the grave bag? Can you see someone sitting on it eating sacrifices?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiuji stopped in her tracks, looked down at Gu Rong and said, "I can't see it."
Gu Rong's heart skipped a beat, and then started beating even more violently.
Shen Qiuji saw that Gu Rong's cheeks turned pale, his face was very ugly, and he remembered the question he just asked, and immediately understood, he told Gu Rong in a low voice: "Then don't look into their eyes, concentrate on Walking, I brought a red wire bell with anti-matter, it didn't ring, so they should be harmless."
"Okay." Gu Rong pursed his lips, and almost half of his body was pressed against Shen Qiuji's arm.
Chen Jin, Xie Zihan and Lu Xiaoyu, who were slower than them to catch up with the main force, arrived. What they saw was this scene. Chen Jin and Xie Zihan didn't respond, but Lu Xiaoyu bit the chicken leg viciously—he Scared by Su Hongyou's sentence "Peach cake is a pastry for going to the grave", they didn't eat breakfast, and they were starving to death halfway, so the three of them left the team halfway to buy roast chicken.
Lu Xiaoyu originally ate roast chicken very deliciously, but he didn't take a few steps. Su Hongya, who was supposed to be at the front of the line, not only appeared from nowhere, but with a red notebook in his hand, he continued to walk among the crowd. Before she went out, she carried a lot less luggage, and now she only had a bag of things in her right hand.
Lu Xiaoyu glanced at it casually, but because of his good eyesight, he saw that the bag in Su Hongyan's hand seemed to contain roasted chicken, and he immediately felt that the chicken leg in his right hand was not fragrant, and there was still meat in his left hand. The half chicken he was holding was not in the mood to eat it, so he quickened his pace and walked over to Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji, handed them the roast chicken, and asked them, "I still have half a roast chicken here, do you want to eat it?"
"We're not hungry, why don't you eat?" Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji shook their heads.
Lu Xiaoyu said: "I saw that Su Hongyan was also holding a roast chicken and couldn't eat it."
Gu Rong didn't understand, and asked doubtfully, "Does the roast chicken in her hand have anything to do with you eating roast chicken?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiaoyu scolded them for "ignorance" with his eyes, and then approached mysteriously and said: "Don't you know what she is going to do with the things she is carrying on her back and in her hands? "
Lu Xiaoyu's deceitful play made Gu Rong suddenly think of something, he hesitated and said, "...she came to visit the grave?"
"How do you know? She told you too?" Lu Xiaoyu widened her eyes and said in shock, "She told her in the morning that these things were for her to go to the grave in Huanshan, you said we didn't go to the Shuiguan Temple on the top of the mountain Participating in the Xiayuan Festival? What kind of grave did Su Hongja come to visit?"
Of course, Gu Rong couldn't say that it was because he saw someone sitting on the grave and eating the sacrificial roast chicken.
The more Lu Xiaoyu talked about it, the more scared he was. He rubbed his arms and muttered, "Is there really a Shuiguan Temple on the top of the mountain? Why are there so many graves on this mountain?"
Ding Manguo and Tang Sisi also shrank their necks and echoed: "Stop talking, it's really scary."
"What is there to be afraid of? There are a lot of graves on the mountainside of Shuiguanmiao, all of which are wild graves, and some of them don't even have tombstones." Walking beside them, a male villager who looked like Huanshan Resort heard Ding Manguo Talking to Tang Sisi, I explained to them, "Because unclean people are buried here, Shuiguan Temple was built to suppress these dirty things. They can't come out to scare people. Don't be afraid. Our local people with high morals are not afraid." Buried in this corner."
After the man finished speaking, the gentle smile on the face of Su Hongzi who was walking not far away suddenly disappeared, and she turned her head and glared at him angrily.
The male villager was stared at by Su Hongyan, and saw that the object in her hand was about to explode. The next moment another female villager rushed up and shoved him. The male villager was pushed by her and staggered. Wen was pushed again by a female villager, who scolded him, "What is an unclean person? What are you talking about?!"
"Originally!" The male villager was completely annoyed, "You speak so aggressively, is it true that someone from your family is also buried here?!"
"Your father is buried here!" The female villager rolled up her sleeves and scratched the male villager's face.
The female villager has a plump body, probably because of her years of hard work and vigor, and the skinny male villager is no match for her. When the two were separated by the people around her, the female villager's face was full of tears but she was not injured at all, while the male villager was already disfigured Oh, ouch, yelled, and left angrily when she saw that the husband of the female villager had also come.
"Don't fight, calm down." The husband of the female villager comforted her, and said in a low voice, "The grave of the eldest son is coming soon, don't cry."
"When I find a good place, I will move my eldest son there." The female villager was still wiping away her tears, "My ex-man is really nothing, it's all his fault that my eldest son was buried here..."
"Don't be angry, it's not good for your health, let's change the place for the big boy next year."
"It would be great if I could have you as my father..."
The two of them slowly left the crowd as they spoke, and went to a simple small grave with the things in their hands to start sweeping the grave and laying offerings—Su Hongyan was not the only one who came here to visit the grave.
These villagers all speak dialects, but everyone can probably understand the meaning.
Su Hongyan's expression softened when she saw someone tidying up the male villagers with broken mouths. After walking a few more steps, she lowered her head to look at the little red book in her hand, then left the crowd up the mountain and walked to some old-looking grave bags. Before that, he opened the handbag and backpack and began to put the offerings, and quickly pulled out a few overgrown weeds from the grave with his bare hands.
She bent down again and again, and then followed the team after placing the sacrifices. The luggage on her body gradually became lighter, but the sweat on her forehead grew more and more.
Gu Rong saw that every time Su Hongyan placed the sacrifices, women in shabby clothes would appear on the tomb bag, sitting on the grave and looking at Su Hongya sadly and gratefully, but Su Hongya couldn't see them.
——That's how Su Hongyan went up the mountain, that's why she fell from the front of the team to the back.
Sweat oozes from the forehead and stains the makeup on her face. She looks embarrassed. Although she is still red, she doesn't seem to have the same warm and gorgeous color as when she was in the hotel.
When everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, they were panting and resting, but Su Hongzi still seemed tireless and did not rest. She stood at the gate of Shuiguan Temple and talked to a Taoist priest.
After 10 minutes, Daochang entered the Taoist temple and brought out a brazier for her. Su Hongyu squatted in front of the brazier and began to burn paper money and paper clothes. The paper clothes were of different colors, including beautiful cheongsams and skirts, and cotton-padded trousers worn by children. , she whispered softly while burning her mouth: "I haven't seen you for a long time, come here to get new clothes to wear, I am afraid that if there is a spark in front of the grave that will not go out, it will cause a fire, so I can only trouble everyone to walk a little bit more." Pick it up, I put all the new dishes and meat for you alone, the hotel business is good this year, and I bought peach cakes after my salary has risen, you guys have a taste, do you like it..."
After finishing this step, all of Su Hongyan's bags were clean. She stood up and rubbed her waist, and returned the brazier to the Taoist priest. Not long after the Taoist priest took the brazier into the Taoist temple, he came out and gave her a bottle of water and a small bottle of water. low stool.
The Daoist smiled and softly scolded her: "It's like this every year. I bring you something like this, but don't you remember to bring a bottle of water for yourself?"
Su Hongyou was finally free to sit on a low stool to drink water and rest. Hearing this, she smiled and said to the Taoist priest: "Isn't our Taoist Jiang here?"
Daoist Jiang smiled and said nothing, turned around and went into the Taoist temple again.
After Su Hongyan recovered her breath, she saw that Gu Rong, Lu Xiaoyu, Ding Manguo and Tang Sisi were staring at her blankly outside the Shuiguan Temple, so she was also stunned, and then With a slap on the forehead, he quickly stood up from the chair, thinking that Gu Rong and the others were waiting for him to go in as a guide: "The Xiayuan Festival officially starts at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it hasn't started yet. I said I will introduce it to you at that time... eh , I’ll take you in now and tell you about it.”
Su Hongya was panting after saying these few words, so Qin Yu pressed her to sit down again, and said, "It's okay, sister Hongya, you can rest for a while."
Su Hongyan took a sip of water and said, "Then I'll take a few minutes to rest before taking you in. The Shuiguan Temple is very big. I come here every year and I know it well."
"Okay." Qin Yu asked her, "By the way, sister Hongjiao, what were you doing just now?"
Su Hongzi replied with a smile, "I'm going to the grave."
"But you go to so many graves." Qin Yu didn't understand, "And shouldn't all the grave visits be on Ching Ming Festival or Hungry Ghost Festival?"
Su Hongyan hammered her sore lower back and said: "I don't have time on Qingming Festival. I have to visit the graves of my parents, grandparents and grandparents on Qingming Festival. Their tombs are not here. There are water officials here on the Ghost Festival." The priests of the temple will take care of you, don’t worry, I’m thinking that it’s almost winter, so I’ll come here again to burn money and clothes for everyone on the Lantern Festival, and ask for a good lottery by the way, bless me to be more and more beautiful in the future .”
Everyone thought of what the male villager said just now, and seemed to understand something.
Qin Yu asked more curiously: "The male villager said that the people buried here are all..."
Qin Yu didn't say the last few words, because Su Hongyan seemed very unwilling to hear those words.
Now that Qin Yu didn't say anything, Su Hongzi's face turned cold, and she cursed: "Don't listen to that idiot's nonsense."
After scolding, Su Hongyan's complexion improved a lot. She looked around the crowd and said, "You are all college students in the city and high-level intellectuals. I can tell you something. Some people I don't even want to talk to. They said it."
"There are no unclean people buried here, they are all miserable people." Su Hongyou sighed, and slowly told them about the origin of the graves on this mountain.
Huanshan Village was transformed into a tourist resort by government investment five years ago.
Before this village was classified as a tourist resort, it was a remote and closed ancient village. There are often many customs in this village.The biggest bad habit in Huanshan Village, in Su Hongyan's opinion, is the reason for the creation of wild graves.
But when they gathered in the lobby on the first floor today, Gu Rong found that many guests actually came down from the second, third and fourth floors. Besides the people who went downstairs, there were also many people who took the elevator to the second floor with their bags. Go to the third or fourth floor.
But they all go straight upstairs and into the elevator, no one goes to the front desk to check in.
Moreover, the total number of people entering and exiting on the second, third and fourth floors combined is no less than the people in their three classes.
When he and Shen Qiuji went downstairs, they met a man and a woman who came out from the third floor and wanted to go downstairs with them.
Before the woman entered the elevator, she was still talking to the man beside her: "I came early today, and I can go to Shuiguan Temple to offer incense and ask for a lottery later."
"Yes." The man nodded, "I hope I can get a better signature."
After a few short sentences, they seemed to be concerned that there were other people in the elevator, so they stopped communicating. The masks on their faces were not enough, and they lowered their heads and turned their backs, as if they were very wary of other people seeing their faces. .
When they got out of the elevator, they didn't go with Gu Rong and Chen Qiuji, but went in the opposite direction - they left Moon Bay through the back door.
Therefore, Gu Rong made a special observation and finally found the pattern - the guests who lived on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors basically left through the front door through the lobby; Only use the back door.
It really felt like what Xie Zihan and Chen Jin said they were afraid of being found out about their whereabouts.
Seeing that there were other students around him, Gu Rong slightly raised his voice, pretending to be puzzled and said: "These guests are so strange, why do they only go through the back door?"
The class monitor, Che Ge, answered after hearing this: "You said you went through the back door, so you must have come here to open a room secretly to avoid being discovered."

But it's too strange that they live on the second, third and fourth floors of Moon Bay without turning on the lights at night, right?Did they really go to bed at eight o'clock in the evening?
Gu Rong was puzzled, he and Shen Qiuji turned across the corridor, and when they reached the hall, they found Lu Xiaoyu sitting at the front desk with a disheveled face, staring at a plate of peach cakes on the cabinet with complicated expressions.
Su Hongliang was behind the cabinet, wiping away the pastry crumbs with a paper towel. Gu Rong was sitting in the elevator last night and saw the man in black was there, but she quickly turned around and went to the room behind the front desk - there was a security guard on duty room.
Could it be that this man is really a security guard?
Lu Xiaoyu helped Su Hongyan wipe the cakes on the table and then left, meeting Xie Zihan and Chen Jin at the front door.
Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji had just walked to them, when they heard Chen Jin admonishing Lu Xiaoyu with grief: "Lu Xiaoyu, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, Su Hongyou even said that she was married, You still want to date her? Let me warn you first, if you dare to do anything serious, I will break up with you. "
"How can I do three?" Lu Xiaoyu said helplessly, and quickly proved his innocence, "Didn't I go to buy barbecue last night? The barbecue stall is at the entrance of the station, and the owner of the barbecue stall said that he has been selling here for almost 20 years. I asked him about Su Hongyao, but he told me that Su Hongyong had never been married at all."
"You can't be the owner of a barbecue stall out of nothing, are you?" Chen Jin doubted, and he didn't forget to tell Lu Xiaoyu again, "As long as you don't do three things, we will still be good friends."
"Of course not. If you don't believe me, you will come out tonight and ask the owner of the barbecue stall." Lu Xiaoyu patted his chest and assured him, almost swearing to God, "Su Hongzi doesn't even have a wedding ring on her hand, how could she get married? Huh? The owner of the barbecue stall said that she had a boyfriend seven years ago, and she and his boyfriend were about to get married, but her boyfriend eloped with her best friend, and she has never heard from her since. Her best friend is still dumb , the owner of the barbecue stall said that Su Hongyou is miserable, she is so beautiful, and she doesn't understand why her boyfriend elopes with a mute, so she has never been married until now."
Xie Zihan tugged at Chen Jin's sleeve and said, "I think what Lu Xiaoyu said makes sense, if you really get married, you will definitely wear a wedding ring."
Chen Jin nodded, and apologized to Lu Xiaoyu: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I misunderstood you, Su Hongzi probably didn't like you, that's why she said such words and rejected you."
Lu Xiaoyu: "..."
You might as well fucking not apologize.
Xie Zihan wanted to laugh, and helped Lu Xiaoyu speak: "Maybe it's because Su Hongzi got emotionally hurt and never believed in men again?"
"It's not impossible." Chen Jin was obedient to Xie Zihan, no matter what he said, Chen Jin felt it was right.
The single Lu Xiaoyu was once again hit by the two of them, turned around and saw Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji coming out of the main entrance, his eyes widened, and he hurried to find his roommate, fearing that he would be caught by someone accidentally. Forcibly stuffed dog food.
After Mr. Su and Mr. Yang counted the number of people and made sure that all the students were there, they asked everyone to follow the team at Shanghuanshan and slowly head to Shuiguan Temple.
Gu Rong and the others walked a little behind the team, and when they went out, they saw that the family of Xisang was also packing up the things at the door, and the golden boy and jade girl who should have been burned with the old lady were still staying in the shade at the door of Grandma Xisang's house for some reason However, passers-by on the road couldn’t see them. After knowing that Huanshan Village was going to be closed after the Lantern Festival, Gu Rong understood why grandma’s funeral was so urgent. It is impossible to transport the coffin out of Huanshan.
Although I don't know why the pair of golden boys and girls are still there, but as soon as Gu Rong came out of Moon Bay, the two paper figurines seemed to have spotted him, and looked at him with round black bean eyes.

Gu Rong didn't understand, so he asked Shen Qiuji, "What is becoming a spirit?"
"Essence, spirit, ghost, monster, you can understand becoming a spirit, but you can't understand becoming a spirit? Basically, they all mean the same thing. You have obtained the aura of heaven and earth, or the essence of the sun and the moon, or there is something extremely yin around you." If you get some yin energy, you can be said to be a spirit." Gu Rong explained to him, "The red wire bell didn't ring because they didn't have any malicious intentions. These two paper figurines are not bad, but the family with happy mourning has good Yin virtue, these two paper figurines They didn't learn to be bad after becoming spirits, but they are evil things after all, and I don't know if they can never learn to be bad."
"These two cubs have done bad things." Gu Rong still remembered the frightening hallucination they created to push him into the coffin when the joy and mourning were in full swing. He could hold his revenge.
But the golden boy and jade girl later apologized to him. Presumably they came because they liked grandma very much, and they would do bad things because they were afraid that grandma would be bumped by Gu Rong when she was on the road.Gu Rong holds grudges, but after receiving a sincere apology, he will choose to forgive.
"Shen Qiuji, can you draw fake hands? Draw two more big umbrellas." Gu Rong raised his head, looked at Shen Qiuji and asked.
Shen Qiuji raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his eyes were a little surprised, because he guessed what Gu Rong was going to do.
So 2 minutes later, Shen Qiuji threw a fake hand and two big umbrellas under the shade of a tree in front of Grandma Xisang's house when no one was paying attention—Gu Rong was still afraid of these two paper figurines, so he didn't dare Then he stuffed it in and asked Shen Qiuji to go instead.
The golden boy and jade girl picked up the umbrella and prosthetic hand, and laughed happily. After putting on the prosthetic limbs, the golden boy and the golden boy opened the umbrella and ran into the sun, and finally disappeared in the direction of the village gate bouncing around.
Gu Rong watched them run away, and said with emotion, "The golden boy is not so cute after being tanned, should we paint a whitening pot for it? Maybe it will turn white after rubbing it on."
"You didn't think of it until they ran away." Shen Qiuji sounded funny, and he didn't know who was afraid that the golden boy and the jade girl wouldn't dare to go with him to deliver umbrellas, "Besides, do you really think they two look cute? "
"It's barely cute during the day, especially when it's screaming in the sun." Gu Rong pondered for a few seconds, then said seriously, "But at night, just pretend I didn't say that."
Shen Qiuji: "..."
Because of the matter of giving the umbrella to the golden boy and jade girl, they were delayed for a while, and when they followed up again, they had already reached the end of the line.
Su Hongzi was carrying a lot of things on her back and carrying a lot of things before she went out, who knew she was the fastest to go, and she had disappeared before the group of students going to sketch up the mountain, as if she had never said that she would give They act as guides.
Qin Yu, Ding Manguo, Tang Sisi and others, as well as a few other unfamiliar boys, were at the end. Ding Manguo and Tang Sisi walked slowly because their backs were sore from being kicked by Shen Qiuji last night. They can ask for leave and not come, but now they have to follow the crowd to feel safe, and they have to go to Shuiguan Temple to pray for blessings and hope that Jingxian will not follow them, so they insist on coming. Qin Yu stays behind the line to help them carry their bags. , to lighten the burden on the two of you.
On the way up the mountain, Gu Rong noticed that there were many bumps in the woods on both sides of the mountain road, gray or khaki-shaped hillocks, so he squinted his eyes to see what they were.
But the forest at the foot of the mountain was dense, and those hills were in the dense forest, so he couldn't see clearly.
He could only vaguely see a few people standing or sitting on those hills. Looking at the clothes on their bodies and the hair tied behind their heads, they should be women. A child is eating a piece of pie in his hand.
So Gu Rong asked Shen Qiuji: "Shen Qiuji, what are those mountain bags?"
"That is--"
As soon as Shen Qiuji said two words, Ding Manguo and Tang Sisi, who were scared by the Jingxian incident last night, walked in front of them, shouted, hugged each other tightly, and asked the people around them Person: "What's going on? Why are there so many graves here?"
"— Grave bag." Shen Qiuji also finished speaking.
Gu Rong: "..."
He shouldn't have asked that question.
Because after Shen Qiuji finished answering, Gu Rong saw a few larger graves that were closer to the mountain road on the side of the road.
There was even more than one woman sitting on a tomb. Several women sat together and shared a roast chicken. The clothes on their bodies were a little worn out, and they held a crying child in their hands. calm down.
There was a gray tombstone in front of the grave where they were sitting, and there were roasted chicken, rice, peach cakes, melons and fruits in front of the tombstone, all of which were obvious sacrifices.
What these women were and what they ate, the answer is already obvious.
They looked at the passers-by on the mountain road calmly, and one of the women even met Gu Rong's gaze. She seemed to realize that Gu Rong could see herself, and turned her head slightly, her eyes were a little more curious. .
Seeing this, Gu Rong didn't dare to look any more, immediately lowered his head and hugged Shen Qiuji's arm tightly, poked his finger straight at his waist, and asked him, "Shen Qiuji, can you see it?"
"See what?" Shen Qiuji asked him back, "Grave bag? I saw it."
Gu Rong took a deep breath and continued to ask: "What about the grave bag? Can you see someone sitting on it eating sacrifices?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiuji stopped in her tracks, looked down at Gu Rong and said, "I can't see it."
Gu Rong's heart skipped a beat, and then started beating even more violently.
Shen Qiuji saw that Gu Rong's cheeks turned pale, his face was very ugly, and he remembered the question he just asked, and immediately understood, he told Gu Rong in a low voice: "Then don't look into their eyes, concentrate on Walking, I brought a red wire bell with anti-matter, it didn't ring, so they should be harmless."
"Okay." Gu Rong pursed his lips, and almost half of his body was pressed against Shen Qiuji's arm.
Chen Jin, Xie Zihan and Lu Xiaoyu, who were slower than them to catch up with the main force, arrived. What they saw was this scene. Chen Jin and Xie Zihan didn't respond, but Lu Xiaoyu bit the chicken leg viciously—he Scared by Su Hongyou's sentence "Peach cake is a pastry for going to the grave", they didn't eat breakfast, and they were starving to death halfway, so the three of them left the team halfway to buy roast chicken.
Lu Xiaoyu originally ate roast chicken very deliciously, but he didn't take a few steps. Su Hongya, who was supposed to be at the front of the line, not only appeared from nowhere, but with a red notebook in his hand, he continued to walk among the crowd. Before she went out, she carried a lot less luggage, and now she only had a bag of things in her right hand.
Lu Xiaoyu glanced at it casually, but because of his good eyesight, he saw that the bag in Su Hongyan's hand seemed to contain roasted chicken, and he immediately felt that the chicken leg in his right hand was not fragrant, and there was still meat in his left hand. The half chicken he was holding was not in the mood to eat it, so he quickened his pace and walked over to Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji, handed them the roast chicken, and asked them, "I still have half a roast chicken here, do you want to eat it?"
"We're not hungry, why don't you eat?" Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji shook their heads.
Lu Xiaoyu said: "I saw that Su Hongyan was also holding a roast chicken and couldn't eat it."
Gu Rong didn't understand, and asked doubtfully, "Does the roast chicken in her hand have anything to do with you eating roast chicken?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiaoyu scolded them for "ignorance" with his eyes, and then approached mysteriously and said: "Don't you know what she is going to do with the things she is carrying on her back and in her hands? "
Lu Xiaoyu's deceitful play made Gu Rong suddenly think of something, he hesitated and said, "...she came to visit the grave?"
"How do you know? She told you too?" Lu Xiaoyu widened her eyes and said in shock, "She told her in the morning that these things were for her to go to the grave in Huanshan, you said we didn't go to the Shuiguan Temple on the top of the mountain Participating in the Xiayuan Festival? What kind of grave did Su Hongja come to visit?"
Of course, Gu Rong couldn't say that it was because he saw someone sitting on the grave and eating the sacrificial roast chicken.
The more Lu Xiaoyu talked about it, the more scared he was. He rubbed his arms and muttered, "Is there really a Shuiguan Temple on the top of the mountain? Why are there so many graves on this mountain?"
Ding Manguo and Tang Sisi also shrank their necks and echoed: "Stop talking, it's really scary."
"What is there to be afraid of? There are a lot of graves on the mountainside of Shuiguanmiao, all of which are wild graves, and some of them don't even have tombstones." Walking beside them, a male villager who looked like Huanshan Resort heard Ding Manguo Talking to Tang Sisi, I explained to them, "Because unclean people are buried here, Shuiguan Temple was built to suppress these dirty things. They can't come out to scare people. Don't be afraid. Our local people with high morals are not afraid." Buried in this corner."
After the man finished speaking, the gentle smile on the face of Su Hongzi who was walking not far away suddenly disappeared, and she turned her head and glared at him angrily.
The male villager was stared at by Su Hongyan, and saw that the object in her hand was about to explode. The next moment another female villager rushed up and shoved him. The male villager was pushed by her and staggered. Wen was pushed again by a female villager, who scolded him, "What is an unclean person? What are you talking about?!"
"Originally!" The male villager was completely annoyed, "You speak so aggressively, is it true that someone from your family is also buried here?!"
"Your father is buried here!" The female villager rolled up her sleeves and scratched the male villager's face.
The female villager has a plump body, probably because of her years of hard work and vigor, and the skinny male villager is no match for her. When the two were separated by the people around her, the female villager's face was full of tears but she was not injured at all, while the male villager was already disfigured Oh, ouch, yelled, and left angrily when she saw that the husband of the female villager had also come.
"Don't fight, calm down." The husband of the female villager comforted her, and said in a low voice, "The grave of the eldest son is coming soon, don't cry."
"When I find a good place, I will move my eldest son there." The female villager was still wiping away her tears, "My ex-man is really nothing, it's all his fault that my eldest son was buried here..."
"Don't be angry, it's not good for your health, let's change the place for the big boy next year."
"It would be great if I could have you as my father..."
The two of them slowly left the crowd as they spoke, and went to a simple small grave with the things in their hands to start sweeping the grave and laying offerings—Su Hongyan was not the only one who came here to visit the grave.
These villagers all speak dialects, but everyone can probably understand the meaning.
Su Hongyan's expression softened when she saw someone tidying up the male villagers with broken mouths. After walking a few more steps, she lowered her head to look at the little red book in her hand, then left the crowd up the mountain and walked to some old-looking grave bags. Before that, he opened the handbag and backpack and began to put the offerings, and quickly pulled out a few overgrown weeds from the grave with his bare hands.
She bent down again and again, and then followed the team after placing the sacrifices. The luggage on her body gradually became lighter, but the sweat on her forehead grew more and more.
Gu Rong saw that every time Su Hongyan placed the sacrifices, women in shabby clothes would appear on the tomb bag, sitting on the grave and looking at Su Hongya sadly and gratefully, but Su Hongya couldn't see them.
——That's how Su Hongyan went up the mountain, that's why she fell from the front of the team to the back.
Sweat oozes from the forehead and stains the makeup on her face. She looks embarrassed. Although she is still red, she doesn't seem to have the same warm and gorgeous color as when she was in the hotel.
When everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, they were panting and resting, but Su Hongzi still seemed tireless and did not rest. She stood at the gate of Shuiguan Temple and talked to a Taoist priest.
After 10 minutes, Daochang entered the Taoist temple and brought out a brazier for her. Su Hongyu squatted in front of the brazier and began to burn paper money and paper clothes. The paper clothes were of different colors, including beautiful cheongsams and skirts, and cotton-padded trousers worn by children. , she whispered softly while burning her mouth: "I haven't seen you for a long time, come here to get new clothes to wear, I am afraid that if there is a spark in front of the grave that will not go out, it will cause a fire, so I can only trouble everyone to walk a little bit more." Pick it up, I put all the new dishes and meat for you alone, the hotel business is good this year, and I bought peach cakes after my salary has risen, you guys have a taste, do you like it..."
After finishing this step, all of Su Hongyan's bags were clean. She stood up and rubbed her waist, and returned the brazier to the Taoist priest. Not long after the Taoist priest took the brazier into the Taoist temple, he came out and gave her a bottle of water and a small bottle of water. low stool.
The Daoist smiled and softly scolded her: "It's like this every year. I bring you something like this, but don't you remember to bring a bottle of water for yourself?"
Su Hongyou was finally free to sit on a low stool to drink water and rest. Hearing this, she smiled and said to the Taoist priest: "Isn't our Taoist Jiang here?"
Daoist Jiang smiled and said nothing, turned around and went into the Taoist temple again.
After Su Hongyan recovered her breath, she saw that Gu Rong, Lu Xiaoyu, Ding Manguo and Tang Sisi were staring at her blankly outside the Shuiguan Temple, so she was also stunned, and then With a slap on the forehead, he quickly stood up from the chair, thinking that Gu Rong and the others were waiting for him to go in as a guide: "The Xiayuan Festival officially starts at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it hasn't started yet. I said I will introduce it to you at that time... eh , I’ll take you in now and tell you about it.”
Su Hongya was panting after saying these few words, so Qin Yu pressed her to sit down again, and said, "It's okay, sister Hongya, you can rest for a while."
Su Hongyan took a sip of water and said, "Then I'll take a few minutes to rest before taking you in. The Shuiguan Temple is very big. I come here every year and I know it well."
"Okay." Qin Yu asked her, "By the way, sister Hongjiao, what were you doing just now?"
Su Hongzi replied with a smile, "I'm going to the grave."
"But you go to so many graves." Qin Yu didn't understand, "And shouldn't all the grave visits be on Ching Ming Festival or Hungry Ghost Festival?"
Su Hongyan hammered her sore lower back and said: "I don't have time on Qingming Festival. I have to visit the graves of my parents, grandparents and grandparents on Qingming Festival. Their tombs are not here. There are water officials here on the Ghost Festival." The priests of the temple will take care of you, don’t worry, I’m thinking that it’s almost winter, so I’ll come here again to burn money and clothes for everyone on the Lantern Festival, and ask for a good lottery by the way, bless me to be more and more beautiful in the future .”
Everyone thought of what the male villager said just now, and seemed to understand something.
Qin Yu asked more curiously: "The male villager said that the people buried here are all..."
Qin Yu didn't say the last few words, because Su Hongyan seemed very unwilling to hear those words.
Now that Qin Yu didn't say anything, Su Hongzi's face turned cold, and she cursed: "Don't listen to that idiot's nonsense."
After scolding, Su Hongyan's complexion improved a lot. She looked around the crowd and said, "You are all college students in the city and high-level intellectuals. I can tell you something. Some people I don't even want to talk to. They said it."
"There are no unclean people buried here, they are all miserable people." Su Hongyou sighed, and slowly told them about the origin of the graves on this mountain.
Huanshan Village was transformed into a tourist resort by government investment five years ago.
Before this village was classified as a tourist resort, it was a remote and closed ancient village. There are often many customs in this village.The biggest bad habit in Huanshan Village, in Su Hongyan's opinion, is the reason for the creation of wild graves.
