The old man's cloudy eyes immediately became moist. She kept patting Xu Mowen's hand and said excitedly, "You haven't been here for several years, right? You really miss my old woman!"

She watched Xu Mowen's face carefully, and shook her head, "After all these years, you still haven't changed much, unlike me, you're too old to walk!"

"Quick, come in!" The old man pulled him and walked into the yard, but the two geese seemed unwilling, and rushed up to peck Xu Mowen's calf, but the old man drove him away with a cane.

Xu Mowen stopped in his tracks: "Grandma, I have other things to do today, so I won't go in for now. I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Oh..." The old man noticed Yan Ting behind him, "Who is this?"

Xu Mowen introduced: "This is a friend of mine who came here for business."

The old man seemed a little lost: "Oh, okay, you guys do your work first!"

Yan Ting took the opportunity to ask: "Grandma, do you know where Sun Fugui's home is?"

The old man glanced at him, and pointed to the direction behind him: "Go there, it's just around the corner."

After she finished speaking, she whispered: "Are you also here for the funeral?"

"A funeral? What happened to his family?"

The old man looked at him suspiciously: "You don't know? Fugui just entered the soil two days ago!"

She shook her head and sighed: "My old sister has had a hard life all her life, and she will be aggrieved even when she dies, hey..."

Yan Ting thought of what Sun Fugui said about the haunted house, which must have something to do with his mother who had just passed away.

The two bid farewell to the old man and walked in the direction she pointed.

Along the way, Yan Ting was a little embarrassed. He looked at Xu Mowen who was walking ahead, and said, "I'm thinking too much in Jinxi Town today..."

Xu Mowen smiled and didn't seem to care much.

They walked forward again, bypassing a small alley, and a temporary white cloth shed appeared in front of them.

The cloth shed was built in front of a family's door, and there were some wreaths standing on the wall outside the door.

It's not time to eat, there are a few people wearing white cloth strips on their heads playing poker together boredly, Yan Ting walked over, but he didn't see the person who came looking for him.

The others looked at them, a little strange, but they only regarded them as relatives of this family, and didn't ask much.

When the two entered the yard, they smelled the smell of leftovers. They found several round tables in the yard, all of which were covered with white plastic sheets, and some used bowls and chopsticks and leftover meat were scattered on them. The bones, it seems that they haven't had time to clean up yet.

A child with a white cloth tied on his head saw them, turned around and shouted into the room, "Dad, someone is coming!"

A person ran out of the house, it was the one who went looking for him this morning.

When he saw Yan Ting, he hurriedly invited him into the house, and said as he walked, "I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Sun Fugui took the two of them to the back room. The light in the room was not very good. Yan Ting looked carefully for a while before he found a bed near the window, and a fat woman was lying on the bed.

"Why don't you draw the curtains?"

"Don't dare!" Sun Fugui waved his hands quickly, he looked at the woman on the bed, "As long as the curtains are opened, she will go crazy!"

"What kind of crazy method?"

The man shook his head sadly, and explained the whole story.

It turned out that not long after his mother died, his daughter-in-law became bewildered, lying on the bed talking nonsense all day long, just yesterday, when his old mother died, the daughter-in-law went crazy and only repeated Shouting a word: You will be punished!

In the middle of the night, she began to twitch and finally passed out.People in the village said that she treated her mother-in-law too badly, and her mother-in-law took revenge on her after she died.

As for why the curtains couldn't be drawn, the man explained that as long as the curtains were opened, the woman would twitch more, and it would be better if the curtains were closed.

Yan Ting understood that this was an ordinary wronged soul who couldn't pull the curtains because the person who was caught was very weak, and seeing a little natural light would cause discomfort.

Yan Ting went closer to observe the woman, and found that she was lying on the bed with her eyes tightly closed, even breathing very evenly.

She simply passed out now, that is to say, the wronged soul is not on her now.

Unjust souls like this with very low spiritual power generally dare not show up during the day and when there are many people, so Yan Ting plans to wait until night to talk about it.

After a while, there was a burst of yelling outside the gate, calling people from the village to come and have a feast. In fact, many people were already waiting at the gate.

Sun Fugui also invited Yan Ting and Xu Mowen to go out to sit. As soon as he went out, he found that many tables were already full.

As soon as the two of them came out of the house, they attracted the attention of the villagers, especially Xu Mowen, who was dressed in a bit of extravagance. Standing in the yard, it seemed that the tile-roofed houses were much shorter in an instant.

Xu Mowen observed the dining tables all over the courtyard, as if thinking about something.

Yan Ting reckoned that Xu Mowen couldn't get used to these big stewed things, so she whispered to him: "I still have some biscuits in my bag..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Mowen grabbed his arm.Xu Mowen was relatively strong, and he dragged him to a corner of the yard before he could resist much.

Yan Ting was surprised: "What are you doing?"

Xu Mowen pulled him to sit down at a table, and said seriously, "Based on my years of experience, we should sit at the children's table."

Yan Ting: ... How many years?experience?

Seeing Yan Ting looking at him strangely, Xu Mowen also specifically explained to him that the elderly and women like to put whole pieces of meat into their bowls, and men eat a lot, so it is most suitable to sit with children.

Yan Ting thought, is it time to explain this?What I want to know most now is where did your "years of experience" come from?

After the dishes were served, Xu Mowen quickly picked up a few pieces of meat from his elbows and put them in Yan Ting's bowl. When some pastries were served, he was also the first to grab them. After a while, Yan Ting's bowl was "robbed" by him The things that come over are piled up.

The children on the side all looked at Xu Mowen with resentment, they might be hating why their arms are so short.

What Xu Mowen did made Yan Ting look at him differently. He felt that even if Xu Mowen sat at the table of the elderly, those people might not be able to overtake him.

After drinking and eating, Xu Mowen grabbed another handful of candies, which caused the children to stare at him, but he didn't seem to notice, and stuffed the candies into Yan Ting's hand.

After the people in the village dispersed, the few people outside who had been invited to perform started to move. The sound of the suona mixed with the sound of various musical instruments made people's brains hurt.A man in tight leather pants sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" with a microphone, and those who didn't know thought someone was hosting a wedding.

After singing, they began to dance again. There were not many people watching, but their enthusiasm remained undiminished, and the quarrel did not end until after ten o'clock.

Sun Fugui arranged a place for Yan Ting and Xu Mowen: "Our house is small, and I will free up my youngest son's room, so you can just make do for one night."

The two were led by Sun Fugui to a room next to the kitchen. The windows of this room were not exposed to the sun, so the room was a bit damp and could smell a musty smell.

Schoolbags and homework books were thrown everywhere in the room, and Sun Fugui stacked them all on a wardrobe, opened the wardrobe and took out a quilt: "I'm afraid you two are not used to living here, I will give you two Replace the bed with a new quilt."

Obviously, there was only one bed in this room, and they were going to be squeezed together tonight.However, Yan Ting thought that after the performance, those people went to sleep on the floor directly after the performance, and suddenly felt that the treatment was not bad.

Just when he was thinking that Xu Mowen might not get used to it, he suddenly thought of the scene when he and the children were grabbing food just now, and felt that he might get used to it faster than himself.

Sure enough, Xu Mowen had already taken off his hat and coat, and was about to go to bed.

He looked at Yan Ting who was still in a daze, and patted the bed: "What are you doing, come and sleep!"

It has to be said that that look has the connotation of a brothel woman soliciting customers in ancient times, and his appearance should be even better, more than enough to be a male oiran.

Yan Ting was frightened by her own thought, shook her head and threw out the thought just now, took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.

The bed was very narrow. When he climbed in, he was afraid of stepping on Xu Mowen, so he took big steps, but his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell backwards.

He didn't fall in the end, because Xu Mowen gave him a hand, making him barely grab the railing at the head of the bed.

This movement made his face only a finger away from Xu Mowen's.

At this moment, Yan Ting's attention was all on Xu Mowen's flawless face. Not only could he not see the blemishes from such a close distance, but he could even see that his skin was in surprisingly good condition.

Xu Mowen stared straight at Yan Ting, his two long eyelashes cast shadows on the tall nose bridge under the light, there was an indescribable allure.

Yan Ting was so fascinated by it that she almost forgot that she was still holding on to the railing in a strange posture.When he reacted and remembered the wild thoughts in his mind just now, he turned over in a jerk.

"Sleep, sleep!" Yan Ting pulled the quilt over her body after finishing speaking, and closed her eyes.

Xu Mowen was still lying on his back motionless, and after a long time, he took a deep breath.

It may be that she was too tired all day, but Yan Ting did not experience the insomnia as imagined, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

After falling asleep in the middle of the night, he felt something strange around him, so he slowly opened his eyes, and couldn't help being stunned.

With the light in the yard, he saw a pair of eyes looking at him.

Is it Xu Mowen?He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight to take a picture, only to find that Xu Mowen was sleeping next to him with his eyes closed.

Strange, is it my own illusion?

He pulled up the quilt and continued to sleep, but before he slept for a long time, he heard movement from the next door.

"You will be punished, you will be punished..."

It seems that the woman started to go crazy, Yan Ting regained her spirits immediately - now is a good time to catch that wronged soul!

He got off the bed lightly, put on his shoes and walked to the next room, just in time to run into Sun Fugui who was about to call him, he was sweating profusely: "Come and see, my wife, she, she It's almost over!"
