Hit ghost

"What are you doing? Suddenly throwing this thing at him, do you want the whole village to suffer bad luck?!" Zhao Guangsheng grabbed the skinny old man's skirt and pushed back with one hand. How could the old man bear this force? , the whole person staggered back a few steps and bumped into the heavy wooden door.

Not only Xie Jin and Wen Liang who hurried over, but also those who grabbed Ji Duan in the chaos and Ji Duan who was restrained, all of them couldn't react for a while.

"Forget it, Asheng. The old man is not sensible." After a long time, one of the tall, thin men who looked like bamboos and fine bamboo let go of Ji Duan. He came over and patted Zhao Guangsheng on the shoulder, then pointed to the ground The silent old man winked, "Why don't you hurry up?"

The old man didn't get up and leave immediately, he stared at He Nian whose face was covered in blood with a hostile gaze, as if he had some deep hatred with this little guy who didn't understand the world.

The expression on the man's face was a bit uneasy. He turned his head in the direction of the old man, and then said something inaudible in Manchu. Xie Jin saw the old man's expression change from anger to panic, and then he got up from the ground and ran out go.

"Both sides calm down. It was purely an unexpected situation just now. We didn't expect it." The bamboo spirit man brought Zhao Guangsheng over, squinted his eyes and smiled at them. Bar."

"Yougui, I remember that you have an old house that is unused in your family, you take them there and wash off that damned black dog's blood." He looked at Li Yougui, and Li Yougui looked at him too.

"Aren't you going?" The smile on the Zhuzijing man's face gradually became stiff, and finally solidified on his face like a false mask. Li Yougui quickly avoided it, and whispered that he knew.

At this time, Ji Duan and He Nian had been let go, and He Nian, who was poured from head to toe by a pot of black dog blood, looked very horrible. Although he was wiped off by Xie Jin's quick-drying towel, the ignorant face still remained. Dark red marks that cannot be wiped off.

He was like a doll who didn't know how to take care of himself. He let Xie Jin wipe everything he could, and then followed Wen Liang out of the ancestral hall.

"What's going on here?" Xie Jin and Ji Duan walked at the back, and he asked the young man with a suppressed voice, "When we were in the ancestral hall just now, what happened outside?"

"There was nothing unusual at first. I tried my best to delay the time and let the two of you go in to find clues. After a while, the uncle came over with a pot of blood."

Ji Duan pinched his brows, as if he was worried about this matter, "The uncle probably wanted to splash me at first, but He Nian blocked it, so I was able to avoid it."

"A Nian? He blocked it for you?" Xie Jin felt a little unbelievable. After getting along with each other for the past two days, He Nian didn't seem like a person with the power of thinking and action in his impression. Instead, he seemed to be acting on instinct. The cubs are pure and resigned.

This feeling is especially obvious after entering the mountains. He Nian, who can still show normal thinking ability in Tianhe Town, seems to have changed drastically in the mountains and forests. He often stares at a certain place for a long time, as if...

It's as if the whole person has merged with this mountain forest.

"Yes, I'm sure, he was a certain distance away from me at the time, and I could see him making a subconscious blocking posture." Ji Duan finally let go of his red brows, and he looked at He Nian who was covered in blood. The wide short sleeves dyed red made me feel very uncomfortable.

Guilt and apology lingered in Ji Duan's mind. He shook his head to get rid of this sudden thought. Now is not the time to come forward to thank him, but to figure out why the old man wanted to pour blood on them for no reason.

"Is it really just because of xenophobia?" Xie Jin thought for a while and only thought of this possibility. His eyelids twitched. If it was really because of xenophobia, then the villagers of Badong Village would be the first ones after they entered the village. big trouble.

"It's hard to say, this place is very strange." Ji Duan raised his eyes and glanced at the low building beside him, and he decided to tell Xie Jin about his discomfort, "Since I entered the village just now, I have always had the feeling of being spied on. , Those eyes are not very friendly, so no matter what happens next, we must remain vigilant."

Xie Jin was taken aback by these words. He was just about to turn his head to look at what Ji Duan said, when he suddenly felt his neck being held by another hand. He turned his eyes and saw Ji Duan shaking his head towards him, "Don't look, be careful to scare the snake away. .”

With such a restless heart, they followed Li Yougui around the intricate village roads and came to a very remote house.The appearance of the house is very old, and there are broken dragon-shaped sculptures squatting at the four corners of the symmetrical structure eaves, which are exactly the centipede dragons they saw on the black lacquered coffin.

The blue tiles and blue bricks, like the old Tanjiang courtyard house, are typical northern buildings.

"Here is it?" Wen Liang asked quietly, avoiding the weeds that protruded from the cracks in the bricks that were almost as high as a person's calf.

"My ancestral house is no longer inhabited." Li Yougui replied angrily. He didn't mean to hide his emotions at all, "I don't know what Gao Quan was thinking, but he asked me to arrange a place for you."

In the second half of the sentence, he was almost muttering to himself, but Wen Liang, who was closest to him, could hear it clearly. The Gao Quan that Li Yougui was talking about was the bamboo man just now.

"Your ancestral house is built quite grandly. If it was put in the past, it would be comparable to the size of the emperor's palace?" Wen Liang looked at the two traditional characters "Li's house" on the door plaque, and teased with a chuckle, " Wouldn't it be better if there were no weeds in the way?"

Li Yougui was a little flattered by Wen Liang, and for a while he even felt pleasing to the eye with his face that was a bit of a thief: "That's natural, I think our Li family was a well-known name in the village back then, if it weren't for... tsk, where are you now?" Tell me something?"

"How dare I, there is nothing." Wen Liang waved his hand, "It can be seen from this mansion that if it were put back in the past, it shouldn't look like this desolate place."

Li Yougui didn't say anything more, he brought several people into the old house.The old house is a traditional wooden structure. After years of precipitation, it exudes a lingering musty smell, which fills the nostrils and smells very unpleasant. They looked around for windows that could be opened.

Although the facilities in the house are old, they are not as dilapidated as imagined. Li Yougui simply took them around and left, claiming that he would bring food and some bedding later, so that Xie Jin and his party should stay in the house without running around. inside.

Naturally, they wouldn't run around randomly. After Li Yougui left, Wen Liang walked to the main courtyard of the old house. He poked the weeds on the ground with his toes, "This place is really old, come and see this."

Xie Jin and Ji Duan came over after hearing the words, and they saw that where Wen Liang pointed, the floor tiles covered by weeds were different in color from the surrounding ones, and they were even not on the same level.

"Rectangle...has anything been placed here before? It should have been placed for a long time?" Xie Jin stared at the shape with a length of at least two meters, and then thought of the most prominent feature of Badong Village, faintly in his heart Jojo seems to have an answer.

"There used to be a coffin here." Ji Duan squatted down to pull out the weeds on the edge of the outline, and soon an obvious rectangle appeared in their sight, which seemed to be the shape of the bottom of the coffin.

"It should be right, but for some reason, this coffin has also been transferred now. I think there is a high probability that it is in Li Yougui's current home." Wen Liang let go of his toes, and he caught a glimpse of the coffin sitting at the entrance of the hall watching their movements He Nian, the blood on the little guy's face was all dry, and he didn't even complain.

"In short, we can barely settle down now, and we have to find a way to contact the local villagers." Wen Liang walked up to He Nian, looked at the blood stains that had nowhere to start, and still held He Nian's thin wrist, "Now you Come over and help, go to the bathroom that Li Yougui showed us just now, we have to boil water to clean this little guy."

It was another busy meal, the three of them performed their own duties, Wen Liang and Ji Duan got dry firewood to light the fire, and the other went to fetch water from the old well that hadn't been used for a long time. Xie Jin was relatively relaxed. He only needs to take He Nian into the bathroom that has been cleaned simply, take off the blood-stained clothes on his body, and help He Nian wash his body.

The bathroom in the old house is neither big nor small. In the center of the square structure there is a tall wooden barrel big enough to accommodate two people. Xie Jin asked He Nian to get into the wooden barrel. on the little guy.

The fishy blood flowed down the skin, and finally merged with the waste water in the bucket. From the beginning to the end, He Nian did not show any disgust or shyness. He just stood there and let Xie Jin clean it, as quiet as if he was a body. Talking dolls.

After the two washed up, Wen Liang and Ji Duan went into the bathroom. Ji Duan was more or less splashed with blood spots when he was in the ancestral hall, and he didn't know how to do it just now, and his face was also smoky. blackened.

Not to mention Wen Liang, he ran to the well to press the water by himself, and spent a long time without saying anything, but he didn't press a drop of water out, and finally threw Tongtong Yuyu down to check, and then cleared the clogged sundries in the well When it came out, it barely hit the water smoothly.

When Wen Liang and Ji Duan came out after washing, the sky was completely dark. I don't know whether it was an illusion or the magnetic field of Badong Village. I always felt that the day in the mountains passed very quickly.

The light was on in the main hall of the old house, and the two of them hadn't dried their hair. Walking along the light, they saw Xie Jin and He Nian sitting in front of the windbreak lamp, communicating with each other in an awkward manner.

"What are you talking about?" Ji Duan pulled out the bamboo chair and sat on it. He saw that He Nian was wearing Xie Jin's old T-shirt. Loose is a bit too much.

There are several flowered quilts on the table next to them. It is hard to see what is in the plastic bag, but you can judge from the green color and shape that it seems to be some vegetable pancakes that have just been baked. When they went in to take a bath, Li Yougui had been here.

"I asked Ah Nian just now, I asked him why that uncle would pour blood on us, and he didn't seem to be very friendly towards him... Ah Nian seemed to say that he didn't know, I still couldn't understand sign language. "Xie Jin picked up his fingers helplessly, his face looked worried in the steady light of the windbreak lamp.

"Li Yougui came here just now?" Wen Liang listened for a long time, then pulled the chair closest to him and sat down. He looked at the things Li Yougui sent, "At least I can be sure that people in this village seem to be very unwelcoming. Our arrival."
