Home is the last harbor in people's hearts, no matter what happens outside, you can get spiritual comfort and protection when you return home.
But now,
She entered the house!
Li Zhuiyuan really couldn't wake up, so Cui Guiying could only run to the back room, where the brothers and sisters were sleeping on the floor.
"Brother Panzi, wake up!"
"Brother Leizi, wake up quickly!"
"Sister Yingzi, wake up!"
Li Chaiyuan ran past one brother and sister after another, constantly pushing and shouting at everyone, but they couldn't wake up like Cui Guiying in the kitchen.
"Tick...... Tick ...... Tick ......"
Li Chaiyuan looked up at the door between the back room and the kitchen, where the figure of the little oriole did not appear.
"Huh......"
He breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he found that a puddle of water appeared under his feet, gathering more and more, and began to overflow along the uneven ground.
"Tick...... Tick ...... Tick ......"
Water droplets kept falling on his body, soaking his clothes and bringing a sticky wet and slippery texture.
On both sides of his line of sight, a pair of hands appeared.
Finally,
The cold hands grabbed his neck.
Li Chaiyuan's body trembled, and a strong feeling of suffocation hit him.
But soon, the feeling of suffocation gradually subsided again, because the hands did not stay on the neck for long and began to slowly slide.
A shadow appeared from above, and Li Zhuiyuan raised his head with some difficulty.
The person above also slowly lowered his head at this time, his long wet hair kept falling, constantly sticking to the boy's face, and it was like a huge black mouth, covering the boy's head little by little.
Until ......
Engulf.
……
"Han Hou, slow down, slow down, your stomach hurts, hiss...... It hurts!"
Li Sanjiang put one hand around Li Weihan's waist and the other hand on his thigh, trying to make himself as pouty as possible.
"Uncle, don't move around, if you move again, you will fall!"
"Bah, you ride so fast, can I stay still!"
After receiving Li Sanjiang at the white affairs table, Li Weihan kept riding home for a moment.
The field path is narrow and there are many pits, which is indeed a hardline for people who take the car, and Li Sanjiang is also old, so he really can't stand this kind of toss.
Li Weihan had no choice but to slow down the speed of the car when he saw that the front was very close to his home, and the path he took to take a shortcut was becoming more and more difficult.
......He touched the cigarette box in his trouser pocket and said, "Han Hou, stop and let's smoke a cigarette."
"I'm almost home, uncle, I'll smoke again when I get home."
"Hey, why are you in a hurry, haven't you already called Liu Blind to see it? I guess that your little Yuanhou can now eat and run at home."
"Is Liu Blind Man really useful?"
Li Weihan didn't believe in Liu Jinxia's ability, he had seen the mother and daughter in the most difficult time, if they really had the ability to communicate yin and yang, how could they let themselves end up so miserable?
In contrast, he believed in Li Sanjiang more, after all, he was specially fished to death, and his small life had been very nourishing in his memory.
"How to say, that blind man Liu was a money fraudster in his early years, and later she figured out some ways by herself.
"What do you mean, uncle, I don't understand."
"Even if you don't understand, the worst case scenario for your family's Xiaoyuanhou is to be haunted.
"I'm just worried about you, I'd rather mess with myself."
"You Han Hou are really partial, he used to be partial to the girl, and now he is partial to his grandson; But yes, your little girl is also competitive, this 28 bars was bought for you by your little girl in her early years, right?
But, ah, this haunted thing, it didn't suffer much, I couldn't say I was enjoying it, so I put the rope ring in front of my neck with the person who was hanged, and through that circle, I saw all the fascinating things."
"Uncle, does this sound like a good thing?"
"Of course you can't talk about good things, you just have to go to the grave for a while, which village doesn't have these naughty and unlucky guys, and it's just a minor illness."
"By the way, uncle, how do you plan to deal with death?"
"Deal with it?" Li Sanjiang suddenly fluctuated in his mood, and his tone became stern, "I think my little life is too comfortable, so I have to rush to deal with the kind of person who can walk in the water?"
When Li Weihan heard this, his heart tightened, and his speed increased again.
"Ouch! Slow down, slow down! Han Hou, what are you crazy about, no matter how bad you are, if you run away anyway, it won't be a big deal, could it be that she can still chase you to your house?"
"It's here!"
When the 28 poles reached the dam, Li Weihan immediately got down and supported the car.
Li Sanjiang jumped out of the back seat and stretched out his hand to rub his cheeks.
Li Weihan: "Guiying, Guiying!"
"It's coming, it's coming, be quiet, don't make noise, the children are asleep." Cui Guiying walked out and greeted Li Sanjiang first, "Uncle, you are here."
"Hey, it's coming." Li Sanjiang didn't ink, and shook his sleeves inside, "Let's go, let's look at you first."
Coming to the door panel, Li Sanjiang squatted down to check Li Chaiyuan's situation.
"I called the child up?" Cui Guiying asked.
"No, the child is fine, it's gone, has Liu Blind been here?"
"I've been here." Cui Guiying told the afternoon again.
Li Sanjiang nodded after hearing this: "That is, Gui Ying, you used to be kind and generous, and you were willing to let the Marquis of Han go to help their mother and daughter, so today, the accumulated virtue has been repaid to their children and grandchildren."
"Look, uncle, what you said is nothing."
"What is it, put the past on someone else, do you think she is blind and willing to take action?
That is, this debt of favor, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to pinch her nose and admit it, she was afraid that she would regret it tightly, and now she probably wiped her tears and howled her own life."
"Uncle, sit down." Li Weihan handed a small bench under Li Sanjiang's buttocks, took out a cigarette to light it for him, and then said to his wife, "Guiying, get some food to satisfy your hunger."
Saying that, he glanced at the locked cabinet.
Cui Guiying took the key and unlocked it, took out chicken cakes and biscuits from it, spread them out in front of the two of them, and said apologetically to Li Sanjiang: "Uncle, I will cut the meat tomorrow, and then invite you to come home and have a good drink."
"Hey, what are you doing tossing all this, put it away, how can I grab the food of the girls."
Li Weihan broke open a biscuit box with his hands, picked up the biscuits and handed them to Li Sanjiang, picked up the iron box and looked at it, and said: "Guiying, remember to put the box away when the biscuits are finished, and it is very suitable to put the sewing buttons in."
"I know."
Li Sanjiang ate the biscuits in a few bites, and when Li Weihan gave them again, he pushed them away and patted his trouser legs: "Okay, it's okay, I'm gone."
"I'll ride you back, uncle."
"Don't, don't, don't take the car."
"Then I won't ride a bike, I will walk back with you, Guiying, bring me a flashlight."
At this moment, Li Chaiyuan, who was originally asleep, suddenly twitched, his snoring intensified, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Li Sanjiang immediately sat back and checked on the child's condition.
Li Weihan said anxiously: "Uncle, this is ......"
"It's nothing, it's probably a nightmare, it's normal. When I was haunted at first, I thought the dirty thing was so beautiful that I was fascinated, but when I realized it later, I realized that I was afraid.
Li Weihan and Cui Guiying nodded, of course they hoped that the child would be fine.
"Ah!"
Li Zhuyuan shouted, sat up from the door panel, and gasped for breath.
"Little Yuanhou, Xiaoyuanhou." Cui Guiying stepped forward and hugged Li Chaiyuan, patted her back, "It's okay, don't be afraid, the milk is here, the milk is here."
Li Zhuyuan first looked at Cui Guiying, then at Li Weihan, and finally, his eyes fell on Li Sanjiang's face when he saw him for the first time.
Li Sanjiang pointed to his rosacea nose and said with a smile: "Xiaoyuanhou, I am your great-grandfather."
Li Zhuyuan blinked, and then seemed to think of the previous dream experience, and immediately turned his head to look at the back door, pointed and said: "Little Yellow Oriole, Little Yellow Oriole, she is coming home!"
"Good girl, you are having a nightmare, it's okay, she has been beaten away by your milk, and she doesn't dare to come to my house again."
Li Chaiyuan looked at Cui Guiying with some doubts: "Really, milk?"
Li Weihan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the girl was really scared by a dream, hehe."
Seeing that things were developing according to what Li Sanjiang said, Li Weihan and his wife were completely at ease.
Only Li Sanjiang looked at the back door in the direction of Li Chaiyuan's finger, and his face gradually became serious.
"Han Hou, give me a flashlight."
Li Weihan didn't give it, but said: "Uncle, I told you I would send you home."
"Give it to me!"
Li Sanjiang snatched the flashlight.
"Uncle, I'll take you back, you drank and walked at night......"
"Get out of the way!"
Li Sanjiang lifted Li Weihan away and walked straight to the back door.
"Uncle?" Li Weihan looked at his grandson and immediately followed.
Li Sanjiang stepped over the threshold and came to the river facing the back door, shining a flashlight downwards.
"Uncle, is there anything else going on?"
Li Sanjiang spat on the ground and lowered his voice: "It doesn't matter if it's normal for you to have other dreams, but it's scary to actually dream of dying and coming home with you."
"What, are you really coming to home?"
Li Sanjiang raised his hand and signaled Li Weihan to be quiet, and then continued to use a flashlight to explore the boat and the nearby river, but after searching several times, he still found nothing.
Li Weihan asked in a low voice: "Uncle, there's nothing."
"Shh, Han Hou, did you hear the sound?"
Li Weihan listened carefully and shook his head: "Uncle, do you have any sounds? I didn't hear it."
"Huh." Li Sanjiang rubbed his nose with his hand, "On a summer night, by the river, how can it be so quiet?"
Li Weihan instantly understood, yes, this side of his house seems to be too quiet, those cicadas and frogs on weekdays are like a meeting every night, but today there is no movement at all, it is as silent as death.
At this time, looking at the calm lake and the water and grass in front of him, Li Weihan felt terrified in his heart.
Li Sanjiang turned around and walked back into the house and said to Cui Guiying: "Guiying, give me a bowl of rice wine."
"Ah, then I'll fry some peanuts and eggs for my uncle?"
"Go get the wine, don't talk too much!" Li Weihan urged, of course he knew that Li Sanjiang was not going to drink here.
Cui Guiying brought a bowl of rice wine, Li Sanjiang took it and squatted down in front of Li Chaiyuan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuanhou, it hurts a little later, don't scream, bear with it, understand?"
Li Chaiyuan looked up at Li Weihan and Cui Guiying, and nodded to Li Sanjiang.
"Well, be good."
Li Sanjiang poured rice wine on Li Zhuiyuan's neck, and the child was so excited that his body instinctively shrank back, but Li Sanjiang immediately grabbed his arm with his left hand and rubbed his neck and shoulders with his right hand.
The old man's hands were full of calluses, very rough and rough, like sandpaper scraping his skin.
After wiping the neck and shoulders of the child until it was red, Li Sanjiang leaned his face over and inhaled hard with his nose.
After sucking, Li Sanjiang's eyes widened, he gently pushed Ling'er away, and fell to the ground by himself.
"Uncle, uncle?" Li Weihan immediately came over to help.
Cui Guiying went to check Li Chaiyuan's neck, she was very distressed, but she knew that things seemed to have changed again, so she didn't dare to say anything, just silently touched the child's head.
"Smoke, Han Hou, give me a cigarette."
"Hey."
Li Weihan immediately helped light it.
Li Sanjiang took a deep breath and snorted out.
Li Weihan noticed that Li Sanjiang's hand was shaking with a cigarette.
"Guiying, take the girl in." Li Sanjiang pointed to the back room, "Bring the door close."
"What the hell is going on?" Cui Guiying couldn't help it.
"Do whatever your uncle tells you to do." Li Weihan hurriedly waved his hand to urge.
Cui Guiying took a deep breath, picked up Li Chaiyuan, walked into the back room, and closed the door.
In the kitchen, there were only two men left.
"Uncle?"
"Han Hou, things are troublesome.
In the afternoon, Liu Blind Man must have cleared the ghost on Xiao Yuanhou's body, and since she did it, it was impossible not to clean it up.
But just now, my nose smelled corpses from the child's neck again, I fished for the rest of my life and died, let me tell you, the smell of corpses soaked in the water is different from the smell of dead people in other places, my nose will never go wrong."
Li Sanjiang said, turned his head to look at Li Weihan, and said very seriously: "Then if you die, you really come to chase your family."
When Li Weihan heard this, he immediately got up and took down the wood-chopping axe from the cabinet.
"it, I'm fighting with that thing!"
Li Sanjiang squinted his eyes, took another puff of smoke, and said slowly: "What if she doesn't come out?"
"What?" Li Weihan didn't understand a little, "Isn't it okay not to come out?"
"She stays next to your house, and if you can't find it, she stares at your house, for a day, two days, three days...... First there was the Marquis of Xiaoyuan, then the Marquis of Xiaopan, the Marquis of Xiaolei, and the Marquis of Xiaohu...... To Guiying, and then to you.
If other people's families offer the blessings of gods and Buddhas, your family is equivalent to offering an evil defilement.
It won't be long before people get sick, have bad luck, and ...... The family is ruined."
Li Weihan asked in a daze: "What should I do, I ...... I don't live here, go live at my son's house?"
"She can follow her once, but she can't follow her the second time?"
"Uncle, is there any other way?"
"There is a way." The cigarette butt on Li Sanjiang's lips flickered and darkened at this time.
"Uncle, you have to help me." Li Weihan squatted down beside Li Sanjiang, if others told him these words, he would wonder if that person was deliberately scaring him for other purposes, but Li Sanjiang would never do it.
"This person who walks in the water is dead, he has a lot of resentment, and it is not easy to mess with him, and this kind of person who can come with the family, your uncle and I have seen it for the first time in our lives, it is simply evil to come home."
"But uncle, there is a debt and an owner, what does this have to do with my family's Xiaoyuanhou?"
"Huh." Li Sanjiang sneered, rubbed his fingers, and extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, "I guess she wants to be wronged, but she can't find an enemy, so she can only catch the first person she encounters and not let go."
Li Weihan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes hesitating and thinking.
Li Sanjiang continued: "This death is the woman who danced and sang at the bearded family yesterday, right? What did you tell me on the road when you picked me up, what is your name?"
"Lei Hou said he saw it, I didn't go to the bearded man's house yesterday, so I'm not sure."
"It's the little yellow warbler, Lei Hou may be wrong, Xiao Yuanhou won't, he just dreamed of the little yellow oriole he shouted when he woke up."
"Well, that's true."
"Didn't you say that the people in the village saw that the little yellow oriole and the bearded youngest son went into the forest last night, and the people from the white affairs team also went to the bearded man's house during the day to make trouble, and the bearded man gave the money back.
This is a ...... in my heart."
The word "ghost" was suffocated by Li Sanjiang abruptly, and at this moment, you still have to pay attention to some taboos.
「…… This is something in my heart, weak. Heh, his family's style, if it's really not dirty, how can it be so soft?
Isn't the bearded man just like the beard in the Northeast before liberation, just like a fucking bandit, I don't know how many sins he has committed."
Speaking of this, Li Sanjiang paused, he stretched out his hand and took out another biscuit from the iron box in front of him, took a bite, and said with a smile: "This biscuit milk is very fragrant, I'm afraid it's not cheap, it's sent by your little girl, right?"
Li Weihan took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and then took several puffs quickly, and finally wiped his forehead and eyes with his hand, and then looked at Li Sanjiang, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes:
"Uncle, can't you trust my character as a Han Marquis?"
Li Sanjiang picked up another cookie, didn't answer, and continued to eat.
Li Weihan continued:
"Uncle, in my early years, it was really difficult for me to marry a daughter-in-law for my four sons.
Not only do you plant your fields for me, but every time I attack you, you also give me some labor and money; Gui Ying came to help you tie paper and paste, her craftsmanship was so rough that I had no face to look at it, that's it, uncle, you can also calculate her wages.
Later, when the most difficult days passed, I stopped planting your fields, because I knew that renting to others could collect more grain rent.
I'm really embarrassed to take advantage of you, but I, Li Weihan, have always remembered your kindness.
I have said before that when you have bad legs and feet one day, I, Li Weihan, will serve you and give you a pension.
Uncle, you have to believe in the character of my Han Marquis."
Li Sanjiang nodded. "Hehe." Li Weihan smiled twice, reached out to get the biscuits, he hadn't eaten anything since the afternoon, he was really hungry.
"Snap!"
The back of his hand was slapped, and the biscuit he had just picked up fell back.
Li Sanjiang stood up and said: "Eat a fart and leave some plates for offerings."
Li Weihan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had helped Li Sanjiang fight for a while in the past.
When I opened the door of the back room, I saw Cui Guiying leaning forward with her baby in her arms standing there leaning sideways.
After the door was opened, Cui Guiying hurriedly tidied up the hair on her earlobes with her hands and asked, "Have you talked yet?"
Li Weihan: "Guiying, come out and help set up the offering table, Xiao Yuanhou will sleep first."
At this time, Li Sanjiang's voice came from behind: "Xiaoyuanhou stay here first."
Li Weihan turned his head to look at Li Sanjiang, his brows furrowed, but after hesitating, he seemed to have made up his mind and motioned for his wife to take him out.
Li Chaiyuan slept from the afternoon until now, so he was not sleepy, so he sat obediently on a small bench and watched the adults busy.
"My brain is dizzy!" Li Sanjiang pointed to the offering table that was moved by Li Weihan outside the back door and scolded, "Do you want everyone outside to see it? Move in and put it here!"
This is a plain countryside, there are no mountains, no ditches and no buildings to obstruct, the view is excellent, if you light candles outside to burn paper money, anyone around you can see it from a distance if someone comes out to urinate at night, and then the matter will soon spread.
After all, which normal person would make offerings in the middle of the night?
Li Weihan immediately moved the table he had just moved out and placed it against the wall in the house, very close to the back door.
Cui Guiying began to place offerings, four plates, biscuits, chicken cakes, and peanuts, and the other was empty.
"Uncle, there is no meat at home." Cui Guiying looked at Li Sanjiang, "The bacon and salted meat are gone."
There are more than a dozen children living in the house, how can there be overnight dishes left, and even the pickle jar bottoms out quickly, but there is no meat to eat.
Li Sanjiang pointed to the cabinet where the snacks were locked: "Is there meat floss?"
"Yes." Cui Guiying nodded immediately, "Is it okay?"
"Anyway, it's meat, just make do."
"Okay."
Finally, a plate of minced meat was put on the plate and made for the offering.
A rough tin bucket was brought in by Li Weihan from the dam outside the house, and this time he didn't need to be reminded, he put the iron bucket in the corner of the kitchen.
The villagers are not willing to use it during the small sacrifice, but almost every household has yellow paper and ingots.
Gold and silver ingots are usually folded by women themselves, and as for yellow paper, it can be used as grass paper in the basket next to the toilet.
Li Sanjiang first lit two candles on the offering table, then lit a few pieces of yellow paper with candles, and then quickly waved them in front of the offering table, muttering something in his mouth, and then ran back to the corner and threw the half-burnt yellow paper into the iron bucket as a tinder.
Levi Han took a thin wooden stick to provoke the paper inside, and after confirming that it was fully burned, he moved the iron bucket outside the house and dumped the paper ashes.
When he came back, he saw Li Sanjiang taking out a bell from his pocket and picking it with his gray and black nails, and finally got out the cotton ball blocked inside.
"Ding ding ding ......"
Shake it lightly, and the sound is crisp.
Li Sanjiang untied the bell rope and walked to Li Chaiyuan: "Come, Xiaoyuanhou, raise your right hand."
Li Chaiyuan obediently complied, watching Li Sanjiang tie the bell to his wrist.
Immediately afterwards, Li Sanjiang picked up the incense burner on the offering table, thought for a while, and cut off all three incense sticks in a large section, leaving only a little bit of the end, and inserted it back into the incense burner.
"Xiaoyuanhou, take this."
Li Chaiyuan stood up and held the incense burner.
Cui Guiying finally understood something at this time, instinctively wanted to move forward, but Li Weihan grabbed her wrist and pulled her back hard.
"How can you let Xiao Yuanhou ......"
Li Weihan glared at his wife hard.
Li Sanjiang stretched out his hand, covered Li Chaiyuan's ears, then raised his head, looked at the couple, and asked casually: "I will ask you one last time, do it or not."
"Do it!" Li Weihan replied immediately.
"If something happens to Xiaoyuanhou......" Cui Guiying waved her arms, trying to break free from the shackles from her wife.
Li Weihan said in a deep voice: "If there is no such thing, nothing will happen, if you don't do it, Xiao Yuanhou will also have trouble, and that thing will be staring at our Xiaoyuanhou!"
When Cui Guiying heard this, she stopped struggling and lowered her arms.
Li Sanjiang smiled and said: "Han Hou, I really think clearly, if something leaks out, it will not be easy to get along with this village in the future."
Even if you don't die at all, everything is a nonsense joke made by everyone, but if you put on this kind of movement at home and perform the kind of ritual to others, if it is known to others, this great feud will be considered a conclusion!
"Huh." Li Weihan also snorted, "Uncle, I'm not afraid of that bearded family, I also have four sons."
In rural areas, whoever has more adult sons will have more confidence.
Although his four sons of Li Weihan are not exemplary filial sons, and there are many disagreements between his daughters-in-law, if the old Li family really needs to support something from outside, these four sons must stand up and unanimously face the outside world.
"Done, do it!" Li Sanjiang let go of the hand covering Li Zhuiyuan's ear, squatted down to Ling'er's ear, and instructed, "Xiaoyuanhou, the grandfather will leave the front later, what about you, put the back and follow, walk slowly, don't scatter the incense burner, do you know?"
"Well, I know."
"Good boy, be good."
Li Sanjiang took Li Zhuiyuan out of the back door, turned around, looked at Li Weihan and Cui Guiying who were following him, and said: "Wait at home, don't follow me, too many people will be easy to be seen, and I am afraid of startling her."
"Well, uncle, please."
"The door of the house is closed."
"Okay, uncle."
Li Weihan pulled his wife back to the house, and then closed all the doors and windows.
By the river outside at night, only Li Sanjiang and Li Chaiyuan were left.
"Wait for me for a while, Xiao Yuanhou."
Li Sanjiang said hello, and then went down the bluestone brick steps to the river alone, only to see him squatting down and whispering something while constantly scratching the water with his hands.
A little far away, the voice was deliberately low, and Li Chaiyuan couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.
As he spoke, Li Sanjiang's body began to lean back, and he pretended to run several times, as if something underwater could come out and pounce on him at any time.
Finally, after Li Sanjiang finished speaking, he ran up quickly, still panting.
"Okay, Xiao Yuanhou, I'm going in front, and you follow behind; Remember, no matter what happens next, no matter what sound you hear, you must hold this incense burner and never look back, understand?"
"Understood."
"Well, be good."
Li Sanjiang walked to the front, pulled out a distance of about twenty meters, turned around, waved to Li Zhuiyuan, and motioned for Ling'er to follow.
However, Li Chaiyuan stopped in place and did not move.
"Come on, come with me, Xiao Yuanhou."
"But......" Li Chaiyuan wanted to turn his head sideways, but he remembered Li Sanjiang's instructions, just held the extinguished incense burner with one hand and pointed to the river, "Don't you wait for her?"
"Who are you waiting for?"
"She, the little yellow warbler."
"Little Yellow Oriole, what's wrong?"
"She didn't keep up."
Li Sanjiang was stunned for a moment, walked back, looked down at Li Chaiyuan seriously, and asked: "Xiaoyuanhou, do you know what we are going to do?"
Li Zhuyuan shook his head and nodded again.
Li Sanjiang looked at Li Chaiyuan with some surprise and muttered: "You bastard, follow your mother, smart."
Immediately, Li Sanjiang seemed to think of something, stared at Li Chaiyuan's eyes, and asked: "Can you feel her?"
"Hmm."
"She...... Where are you now?"
Li Zhuiyuan opened his mouth and didn't speak, as if he was thinking, and as if he was waiting, and then, he spoke:
"She's here."
"Where is it?" Li Sanjiang was shocked.
"I was in the water just now......
"Huh......" Li Sanjiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now behind me."
Li Sanjiang: "......"
Li Sanjiang subconsciously wanted to look away and looked behind him from Li Chaiyuan's head, but he resisted the impulse.
However, even if he didn't look at it, he inhaled a strong corpse smell in his nose, which he was very familiar with.
She is really here.
Li Sanjiang swallowed nervously, he wanted to terminate, but when he thought about the consequences of termination...... Damn, the sin created by others, why should the Han Hou family carry it!
"Xiaoyuanhou, remember what the grandfather just said."
"Hmm."
Li Sanjiang closed his eyes, raised his hands, and stood up slowly, the smell of corpses became stronger.
He turned around, opened his eyes, and walked forward for a distance, which was the observation distance he faced those who fell dead when he rowed the boat.
After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes and looked back behind him.
Xiao Yuanhou stood there holding an incense burner, and behind him, there was a dark moonlight that could not be penetrated.
"Xiaoyuanhou, follow me."
"Hmm."
"Hmm."
Li Sanjiang began to walk forward, and there was a "ding ding" sound behind him.
Even if there are no pedestrians in the middle of the night, he must be as careful as possible and never let outsiders know.
Halfway through, Li Sanjiang stopped, and the bell behind him also stopped.
Li Sanjiang turned around, Li Zhuiyuan was still standing there more than 20 meters away, and behind Ling'er, he vaguely saw a figure, very close.
"Xiao Yuanhou, keep up, it's almost there."
"Hmm."
"Hmm."
Li Sanjiang continued to lead the way, he stopped walking, and the bell behind him also rang and stopped.
Finally, if you go around another fish pond in front of you, you can reach the door of the bearded man's house, which is actually his family.
This time, Li Sanjiang did not stop, but continued to march along the edge of the fish pond, but during the march, he slowly turned back and looked behind him:
Under the bleak moonlight, Li Chaiyuan hugged the incense burner, looked at the grandfather leading the way in front of him from time to time, and looked down at the road under his feet from time to time.
This road is not easy to walk, and children are prone to slipping and falling on their heads, so he walks very carefully and carefully, but he still can't avoid shaking.
Behind him, followed by a woman wearing a cheongsam with long wet hair.
The woman is like a blind man, unable to see the road ahead.
Blind people usually grab each other when someone leads the way, so the woman's hands are on the boy's shoulders, and her body follows the little boy as he walks, one foot deeper and one foot shallow, shaking constantly.
Li Sanjiang swallowed his saliva, stepped on the air under his feet as he walked backwards, and almost fell, but he still stabilized his balance after a sway.
Li Chaiyuan was about to stop when he saw this.
Li Sanjiang hurriedly said anxiously: "Xiao Yuanhou, don't stop, keep walking, hold on, we are almost there."
"Hmm."
"Hmm."
Finally, after bypassing the fish pond, Li Sanjiang came to the dam of the bearded man's house.
It was already late at night, and not only did the bearded house turn off the lights, but the few houses that could be seen nearby also had no lights, let alone no one in sight.
Li Sanjiang turned sideways, squatted down, spread his left hand towards the bearded family, and spread his right hand in the direction where Xiao Yuanhou was standing, and spoke:
"I will give you an offering today, and I will give you a sacrifice next year.
Regardless of yin or yang, you have to be reasonable!
If there is a grievance, avenge will be avenged, everyone in the world will suffer, so you must not get involved."
After Li Sanjiang finished reading, he secretly glanced in the direction of Li Chaiyuan and found that there were still two figures, one big and one small, standing back and forth, very quiet.
"Xiaoyuanhou, kneel down."
Li Zhuiyuan did not kneel, but still stood holding the incense burner.
"Xiao Yuan Hou?" Li Sanjiang urged in a low voice.
"Grandfather...... I can't kneel."
Li Zhuyuan wanted to kneel, but his shoulders were strongly holding him, making him unable to get out.
Li Sanjiang took a deep breath and immediately read:
"The girl is still young, the girl is ignorant, the child doesn't owe you, the road is brought to you, the door is given to you, do you really want to ignore it at all?"
After saying that, but over there, there were still two figures, one big and one small.
Li Sanjiang's eyes were filled with anger, he withdrew his hands that had been spreading the "bridge", stabbed his ten fingers into the ground, and embedded a large amount of black mud in his nails.
"You walk underwater, I am floating on the water, you don't want to give you favors, you don't listen to you reason, that's good, I forced me to lift the table and everyone went to the Dragon Prince to judge together!"
Li Sanjiang's whole temperament became solemn, he never wanted to or dared to face that person head-on, but things had developed to this point, and he couldn't help him, so he couldn't bring this death out and take it home.
However, at this moment, only a "squeak" was heard, and the big iron door of the bearded man's house was opened.
Li Sanjiang looked over and found two people standing behind the door, a bearded man and his youngest son, both wearing only big pants, shirtless and barefoot.
For a while, Li Sanjiang felt a little frightened, he was doing this secretly, if this was discovered in person, it would not end well afterwards.
But soon, Li Sanjiang discovered that something was wrong.
I saw the bearded man and his son, both of them didn't look at themselves standing outside the door, but walked straight towards the fish pond in a daze.
When passing in front of Li Sanjiang, Li Sanjiang found that both of them were walking on tiptoes with their heels off the ground.
The father and son walked side by side like this, staggering, but never falling, and the father and son did not stop after walking to the fish pond, but continued to walk down.
Step into the water, keep going, the water surface does not exceed your knees, your waist, your shoulders, and finally...... I didn't get over my head.
"Poof!"
Li Chaiyuan felt that his body was loose and sat directly on the ground, Li Sanjiang immediately ran over to protect the child.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Li Chaiyuan didn't answer, but raised his hand in a daze and pointed forward.
In front of her, there was the figure of the little yellow warbler, she stretched out her arms and opened her hands, as if groping, although she walked very slowly, but she also came to the fish pond, and then walked into the water.
As if sensing the water under her, she slowly lowered her arms and walked more and more steadily.
She began to twist her waist, as if she had danced the dance she had danced on this dam against this fish pond yesterday.
Her dance is still very unprofessional, and now her joints are stiff, so her dancing is naturally even more non-standard, but she is very engaged.
Her figure appeared in this night, sometimes immersed and sometimes abrupt, and flickered.
Every time it appeared, the water surface flooded her a little more.
Gradually, her legs under the slit of her cheongsam were no longer visible, her writhing crotch was no longer visible, and her breasts, which were not very towering but were forced out by her clothes, were also invisible.
The water covered her neck, scattering her hair, and she raised her hands, facing the night sky, still performing.
Soon, her head was submerged in the water, and on the water, only her arms remained, and gradually her wrists remained, and then her hands remained......
and his hands slowly disappeared into the water, leaving only a cloud of black aquatic plants.
In the end, with the last ripple,
all
are all gone.
Li Sanjiang picked up Li Zhuiyuan, hunched over and trotted away, and waited for a long time before putting down the child and beating his old waist while taking out the cigarette box.
Seeing the child standing there in a daze, he explained: "Listening to the grandfather's words, I thought it was a dream, and when I woke up, I forgot everything."
Li Zuiyuan nodded obediently, but he felt that he might not be able to forget the scene just now and would always be frozen in his memory.
Shaking the soot, seeing that the child was still in a low mood, Li Sanjiang teased:
"Xiao Yuanhou, you can think of something that will make people happy right away."
"Happy things?"
Li Sanjiang pointed in the direction of the bearded house with his finger holding a cigarette and replied:
"Eat the table!"
