Yin Changsheng

Chapter 20

These things, what Jiang Li says is what he says, I just need to follow his footsteps.

It's still the same when I go home, my father and grandma are both depressed.

Dad was smoking a dull cigarette, grandma was leaning on the chair, staring at the roof and humming, Jiang Li sat down on the chair next to grandma after entering the house, and said to grandma: "Old man, Chen Xiao and his grandpa's box, can you give me Do you want to see it?"

Grandma didn't point back to the room where grandpa died before, and said, "It's on the top of the cabinet, go and see for yourself."

Jiang Lien said, then stood up and went to the side room to look at the box of grandpa. After Jiang Li entered the room, grandma mysteriously beckoned me to go over. I sat next to grandma, and she took out the photo on her body. , pointing to the little girl staring at the camera behind her parents and said: "Xiao Wazi, I really asked this girl to be your wife? Do you want it?"

Such a pretty little girl, if she is really a relative of my family or someone I know, I would definitely like to play with her. I used to be used to loneliness, but now I am eager to have a playmate. I don’t know what a daughter-in-law is. .

He nodded firmly and said, "I want to."

Grandma smiled and patted my head: "Then I'll tell her, you can't bully her."

I said: "Understood."

During the time I was talking to grandma, Jiang Li also came out from the side room. As soon as grandma saw Jiang Li coming out, she immediately shut up and stopped talking about this matter, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Jiang Li.

Jiang Li noticed something, but he didn't pierce the membrane. He smiled and came over and patted my head: "Go to sleep, I've been tired all day today."

I said oh, Pidianpidian ran into the house and lay down on the bed, Jiang Li stayed in the main room to talk to his father and grandma.

Sleeping now is much more stable than before, and I fall asleep as soon as I lie down.

I had a very strange dream at night.

I dreamed that the little girl in the photo my grandma showed me was standing in the corner of my room with her head down, and I was lying on the bed staring at her.

Before the dream was finished, I was woken up by Jiang Li. After waking up, I smelled a foul smell on the bed. Looking closer, I actually vomited in my sleep, and the bed was covered with filth.

I immediately lifted the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed with a face full of embarrassment. I couldn't bear to look at the disgusting thing on the bed. Jiang Li frowned, then stepped forward and touched my forehead, opened my eyes and looked, there was nothing wrong. Instead of talking about what's going on, he said: "Go, let's wash you."

It is already late at night, father and grandma have already gone to rest, and there is no time to boil hot water, so Jiang Li scooped up cold water and put it in the basin, asked me to take off my clothes and rub it for me, and complained while rubbing: "I Jiang Li I have never done such a thing in my life, that is, you, if I were someone else, I would just pick it up and throw it out."

I was already embarrassed, but when he said that, I blushed up to my ears.

But when the washing was about to be finished, the door was suddenly pushed open a crack, and with a bang, a black mass was thrown in through the crack.

The wooden doors in the countryside are all wide open and close. Even if the latch is inserted, there will be a gap left. If you push it a little, the gap between the threshold and the door will become wider.

Jiang Li immediately stood up and went to pick up the lump of black thing, and when he opened it, he found a lump of black shoes inside.

I got out of the basin, wrapped myself in Jiang Li's Taoist robe, walked over and asked, "Master, what does this mean?"

Jiang Li said: "Shoes are homonyms for evil. If someone throws shoes at your house, it is equivalent to throwing evil at your house. Your family has been retaliated against. I am afraid that something will come to your door tonight. Go and help me get my mahogany sword." Bring it."

I immediately ran to get all the things that Jiang Li brought over. Jiang Li had a spare Taoist robe. He took out a robe and put it on his body. He opened the door with a creak, took a chair and sat outside the door. , looked back at me again: "You can continue to sleep, I will guard, if you are afraid, stand behind me."

I grinned, and immediately crossed the threshold and stood behind Jiang Li, facing the dark night with him.

I stood there for a while, but didn't notice any movement, so I asked, "Master, did we make a mistake? No one came at all."

Jiang Li smiled, hooked his hands at me, I bent down, he wiped my eyelids with his fingers, and when I opened my eyes again, my heart trembled.

The outside of this room was already densely packed with people, more than when we went to Du Hai's village before, at least there were hundreds of them. They gathered outside the room, staring at Jiang Li.

I was a little scared, Jiang Li said to me without turning his head: "What are you afraid of, Master is here, no one can enter the house."

I said, "Who the hell threw the shoes in?"

Jiang Li said: "This is also a kind of black magic. It is called Jiangshi. Sometimes what is said will become a reality if it is used by others. This kind of curse technique is from the same school as Zhang Duangong's curse technique. From this point of view, that person is in the village. He didn't attack us blatantly before, but now he can't wait, which means that we have touched him. identity or interests, who else can you guess?"

I don't even need to think about it, today we went to see Grandpa Yao alone, and Jiang Li even exposed the fact that the bracelet on Grandpa Yao's hand had turned black. If it was really Grandpa Yao, he must know that Jiang Li already suspected him Yes, this matter is the most likely for him to do.

"Grandpa Yao." I said.

Jiang Li smiled without saying a word, still sitting at the door, the lonely ghosts outside dared not take half a step forward.

After sitting for about half an hour, the lonely ghosts around outside gradually dissipated. After they had all left, Jiang Li stood up and straightened his Taoist robes. Then came the shouts from the villagers: "Is Master Jiang asleep?"

Jiang Li looked at it intently, and after confirming that he was from the village, he replied, "No."

As the flames gradually faded, two old men from the village trotted forward, panting for a long time before choking out a word: "Something happened, something happened to Xiao Wazi and his grandpa."

Jiang Li and I were stunned, we just guessed that the shoes were thrown into my house by Grandpa Yao, and it didn't take long for Grandpa Yao to have an accident.

Jiang Li immediately asked, "What happened to him?"

The villagers said: "He's dead, go and see if he's still alive."

The voices of the people in the village woke up my father and grandma. After they put on their clothes and came out, they asked again what was the matter. After they found out that something happened to Grandpa Yao, they immediately followed them to Grandpa Yao’s house.

Death is a big deal. Many people in the village have gathered in front of Grandpa Yao's house, and Grandpa Yao is also there.

Seeing Jiang Li approaching, they made way for Jiang Li to enter.

I followed Jiang Li, walked into the room and saw Grandpa Yao leaning back on the armchair, his eyes staring at the roof, his body was already stiff.

Jiang Li reached out to touch Grandpa Yao's body, and said, "It's been a few hours since he died, how did the old man die? Do you know?"

The old man in the village said: "I got up to pee in the middle of the night and saw that the lights in Chen Jiaxing's room were still on, so I thought he was not asleep. I came to have a look, opened the door and saw him dead on the chair. I don't know how he died. of."

If Grandpa Yao had died a few hours ago, then it would definitely not be Grandpa Yao who threw things into our house. I slightly raised my head and looked at Jiang Li, wondering what he thinks about this matter.

Jiang Li said: "Even the soul is gone. A normal death will not be so fast. Those who can take the soul are either ghosts or alchemists."

The villagers immediately said, "Master Jiang, you are the only Taoist priest in the village?"

They explained this matter clearly without the slightest bit of secrecy, so naturally some people would think about it, but Jiang Li didn't care, stood up and walked around the room, and finally set his sights on the cupboard of Grandpa Yao.

Inside the cupboard was the food that Grandpa Yao didn’t eat that night, and a tin pot. Jiang Li stood in front of the tin pot for a while, then took out the tin pot, opened the lid and said, “It’s corpse oil, the old man eats it. Died of corpse oil."

This sentence immediately caused everyone in the village to explode.

In my old Chen family, not only the father-in-law and daughter-in-law have passed away, but now there is another one who eats the fat of dead people.

"Chen Jiaxing looks quite normal, how could he be so confused as to eat corpse oil? Master Jiang, did you make a mistake?" Some villagers questioned Jiang Li's words.

The father next to him lost his eyes and said, "This is my father's oil."
