Midnight Forced Marriage

Chapter 273 Zhou Family Shrine
"Is she out of her mind?"

"Grandpa Medicine King is very scary, can he control the human brain?"

Those little followers of Captain Zhang are still chattering, now even I am a different kind?

"You..." I was at a loss for words for a moment, and after listening to their public opinion, I suddenly understood why many wronged people chose to remain silent.However, I feel ashamed in my heart, and I always feel that I should do something for Grandpa Yaowang.

Maybe, all I should do is what he wants me to do.

"Captain Zhang, I'm fine. Since Mr. Zhou is not here, shall we go?"

"Wait." Captain Zhang stretched out his hand to signal me to wait, then turned to look at Mrs. Xiaojia, "Just now your jade hairpin stayed in the shrine of the Zhan family, what do you mean there is no boss?"

Mrs. Xiao Jia shook her head, "I don't know, maybe Xiao Zi accidentally touched this shrine."

"En." Captain Zhang nodded, sighed silently, and took a small step towards the door, "Retreat!"

"Yes!"

Behind him, several young policemen next to me answered yes in unison, and then evacuated towards the door in an orderly manner, leaving only Mrs. Xiaojia and me in a daze.

"Let's go."

Captain Zhang looked back and saw that we were still standing there, dumbfounded, with a smile on our serious face.

"Oh." Only then did Mrs. Xiaojia and I take a step towards the door.

"Wait a minute!" I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called Captain Zhang at the door, he turned his head, but I looked around, "Captain Zhang, the Zhou family I mean the house where I stayed, the shrine of the Zhou family is here here?"

Captain Zhang's expression returned to the solemn expression just now, and he nodded while sighing, "Yes, here, at..."

As he spoke, he raised his head, looked around the four walls of the Yaowang Temple, searched in vain, and shook his head, "I don't know where to put it, maybe it will be moved by so many people who put the shrine later." I opened it, but I can't find it... probably I can't find it..."

"Is that so?" I seemed to be studying his expression, not like lying, "What a pity, I wanted to see a photo of Grandpa Zhou."

"Huh?" Captain Zhang looked at me suspiciously, "How do you know that the shrine of the Zhou family is here?"

"Grandpa Medicine King told me."

Captain Zhang was taken aback, then nodded in understanding, as if he couldn't prove it, let's just believe me this time, "Yes, his family's shrine is indeed here, and Grandpa Zhou was invited by Grandma Zhou shortly after his death It was put in. At that time, it was scolded by the whole village. I remember that our police station had mediation at that time, but soon no one was nosy. After all, Mr. Zhou has no heirs. In the future, Grandma Zhou will be a hundred years later, sooner or later was put in."

"Why does the whole village scold Grandma Zhou?" I believed in that scene, I had seen it in helpless movies and TV dramas, but it was really scary to think about it in reality. I don't know what Grandma Zhou has endured ?
"Just now you also heard that only people whose family has become extinct, such as the woman surnamed Zhan's family, can be put into the Yaowang Temple. But if there is only one person left in the family, they will be enshrined by themselves. If If the family members are still alive, if they are let in, they will be scolded as treacherous, such as Chen Xiaofei, you have seen it before, I was so angry that I almost beat him."

"But even so, it's nothing. Why do you have to be scolded by the whole village?" I asked suspiciously, "I haven't seen anyone scolding Chen Xiaofei either?"

"Haha, that's because the shrines of his father and ancestors are here, but there are no tablets of him and his other living family members on it."

"Huh?" I was puzzled for a moment, "What's the matter?"

"What kind of person's name do you think will be written on the tablet and enshrined in the shrine?"

"The dead."

"Yes, then do you think Grandma Zhou is alive or dead?"

"Of course it's alive."

"How do you see it?
"Eh?" I was stunned for a moment, thinking about what he said, it was really creepy, "Captain Zhang, do you mean..."

"Don't be afraid." Captain Zhang suddenly smiled, but it seemed that he suddenly realized that this was in the Yaowang Temple, so he quickly suppressed his smile, "The house you live in is not a haunted house, but a haunted house. Because It is very unlucky for us to see a person written on a tablet living around us, as if you are living next to a dead person, who will be comfortable?"

"So that's how it is." I thought, "So, in your eyes, Grandma Zhou is like a dead person, or a living dead person."

Captain Zhang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "In a sense, what you said is very correct. Ever since Mr. Zhou left, Grandma Zhou has been living like a dead person. Do you know why Grandma Zhou keeps opening the door to entertain people passing by? guests, and don’t take any money?”

I shrugged, "Maybe it's because of loneliness?"

Captain Zhang shook his head, "She is waiting for someone."

"Wait... who is it?" I once again had a creepy feeling, "Are you waiting for Grandpa to go back?"

"Do not."

Captain Zhang said as he walked outside, the noise of footsteps outside the door was much less, presumably the young policemen had already evacuated in an orderly manner, many people had already walked down the mountain wall where the Yaowang Temple was located, and the door was still open. Xiao Luo and Xiao Liu were left as the followers of Captain Zhang.Captain Zhang was not in a hurry, walked to the door, took a breath of fresh air, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs like venting, and exhaled a long smoke, the beautiful natural ecological landscape began to be smoky again.

Mrs. Xiaojia and I looked at each other, looked down habitually, and touched our pockets to make sure nothing was left behind. We followed to the door and we should really go.

"Captain Zhang?" I asked tentatively, he still had something to say, and I would not let him go.

"Yeah." Captain Zhang seems to be agreeing to me, "Actually, I don't know, I just heard from the older generation in the family that Grandma Zhou is waiting for someone. That person should also pass by the village entrance occasionally and stay at her house As for her, it is said that she was favored by that person or cheated, in short, she always wanted to see someone again."

Yes, I know it by heart.

Looking back at Mrs. Xiaojia, she also knew that Grandma Zhou must be waiting for the charlatan who was said to be able to help her find Grandpa Zhou, but wanted to take away her three future children.

In fact, saying this sentence is contradictory. Since you are a liar, how can you do this?

But if it is not a liar, then how can grandma Zhou explain her repeated dreams?Since she could dream about the tricks of charlatans, it meant that she knew the truth, but if she was deceiving herself, why would Grandpa Zhou come back?
I never blamed you!
Suddenly, the words that Grandpa Yao Wang asked me to bring to Grandma Zhou appeared in my mind. These words couldn't be more obvious. Grandpa Zhou must have known about it, but Grandma Zhou blamed herself for the rest of her life, but he didn't blame her.But if this is the case, why didn't he say this to Grandma Zhou before he was alive?
Too contradictory?There are too many truths to be revealed, and I can't wait to go down the mountain.

"Let's go, withdraw!" Captain Zhang said to Xiao Luo and Xiao Liu who were waiting at the door, and it seemed to be to the two of us.

In short, the two of us were more "obedient" than Xiao Luo and Xiao Liu, and obediently left the temple gate and walked towards the entrance of the mountain wall.
