The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 116

Could it be that the great-grandfather knew that he wanted to expose his family ugliness, so he came back to teach him a lesson?
He Futing swallowed his saliva, not knowing whether to go forward or run back, but saw that person slowly turned around, damn it, it was that boy He Youtian!
He Youtian was also taken aback when he saw him, and screamed as if struck by lightning: "Uncle?!"

He Futing went up and slapped him on the head.

"You kid, what's your name! I almost scared me to death just now! What are you doing here at night?! You're also dressed like your great-uncle, it scared me to death!"

He Youtian secretly took a look at him, and saw that his expression was normal, as if he was relieved.

Seeing that he was silent, He Futing asked again: "What are you doing here?"

He Youtian sighed and said, "I just remembered the teachings of my great-uncle in the past, and thought of him as an old man, so I came here without knowing it."

He Youtian wanted to express his grief, but He Futing heard a different meaning in his ears, he trembled and said: "It's so scary, it's like your great uncle is lonely down there, and I specially called you over. It’s like letting you go down to accompany him!”

"..."

He Youtian has always felt that there are not many smart people in the He clan. In the past few decades, there have been three passable ones, the grand uncle-a little stubborn, and the He Youzhi-a little foolish and filial, and the remaining one Of course it was him, and there were not many other clansmen who could catch his fancy.However, He Futing in front of him is still useful, so he put it bluntly: "I just miss my grand uncle too much."

"Arita." He Futing patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have a heart!"

This is what filial sons and virtuous grandchildren should look like!It would be great if those in this sect were as filial and worry-free as this one!He doesn't have to worry so much!

"Go back! It's not peaceful recently, let's stop wandering outside."

"Yeah. When I went to the ancestral house in the afternoon, I heard from Youzhi that he will be mourning for his great-uncle for three years, and he doesn't plan to take part in next year's children's examination..."

"What?!"

According to the regulations, He Youzhi only needs to observe his filial piety for his great-uncle for five months, just in time for the county examination in February next year.

Recently, He Futing held his breath and "competed for property" with his brothers and nephews. He even made up his mind to hold on to his position despite his family scandal.Isn't it just to keep the funds for He Youtian's scientific research and marriage!

When He Youtian said this, he immediately became furious, strode forward with big strides, rolled up his sleeves as he walked, and planned to go back and clean up He Youtian, to see if he dared to make up his own mind all day long!
"How dare he say that?! See if I go back and deal with him!"

"Don't be angry, it's also because of his filial piety." He Youtian said with a shy look, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I actually plan to keep my filial piety for my great-uncle for a year, and I'll take the county examination next year .”

"Oh, I almost forgot about this. Your leg is healed now, and you can take the imperial examination. You are not allowed to mess around with Youzhi! Our He clan will rely on you two to make our ancestors shine!"

"but……"

"Don't be fooled, you all have to listen to me about this matter! Children are so stupid, what kind of idea are you making up..."

"We just want to show our filial piety, grand uncle..."

He Futing chattered and said: "Both of you have been reading books! You have read books for so many years for nothing! What is filial piety?! Listening to the elders is the greatest filial piety! His great-grandfather kept talking about this before he passed away! The greatest wish of his old man in this life is to teach our He family a few more real scholars, to honor the ancestors, to glorify the lintel! After so many years, only you two can still watch, and no one else can! You two If you don’t go, the first one to feel sorry for is his old man! You’re better off, you’ve already married a wife. If that boy Youzhi keeps his filial piety for three years, what will happen to his unmarried wife? Don’t wait to become an old lady! These are all unfilial..."

As the uncles and nephews talked, they walked further and further away, and a woman's body emerged from behind the big tree by the river. It was Gao Min, the notorious widow of Rongshu Village.

She looked at He Youtian's back thoughtfully: "It turned out that he really did it...."

Goddess Luo prepared the dojo at home, and waited happily for Mrs. Xi to deliver the silver to her door. As a result, she couldn't come when she waited, and she didn't come when she waited. From morning until it was almost dark, Mrs. Xi hadn't appeared yet.

She thought to herself, this Mrs. Xi is not playing tricks on her old lady, is she?The old lady has prepared everything from the summoning banners, the city god's essays, and customs clearance, but you don't come? !
These are all bought with real money, isn't my mother's money wasted for nothing? !

No, my old lady has to find her, a godly old woman who doesn't keep her mouth shut, talks nonsense all day long, and now she dares to talk nonsense in front of this goddess!If you dare not admit it, I will draw a spell and curse you to death!
Although Goddess Luo is in the business of Goddess Luo, she has a bad temper. She is a little bit better when she has money to make money. If she gets in the way of making money, she will probably end up offending Mrs. Xi!

Even though it was getting dark, Goddess Luo hurried out of the house.

As I said before, the single-plank bridge is the only way to go from Luoying to Rongshu Village. Even though she is old, she is not slow, and she arrived at the single-plank bridge in less than a quarter of an hour.

As soon as she got there and saw Xi Pozi's body floating on her back in the river, Goddess Luo was so frightened that all her souls and six souls flew away together. The cry went straight into the sky, piercing the tranquility of Rongshu Village.

Gao Min was not far from the place where Mrs. Xi's accident happened, less than 300 meters away, but it was already dusk at this time, and she couldn't see the distance clearly. She only heard a woman's scream coming from the field. And with an echo.

Even if she knew the truth about the two recent incidents, she couldn't help her scalp getting numb, and she was about to run home.

She was in a panic, looking behind while running. Walking carelessly like this is easy to cause accidents. No, she ran two steps before bumping her head against a tree by the side of the road.

Rural people have a custom called "a dead cat hangs on a tree, and a dead dog throws away water".

Cats have nine lives. If a cat dies, it must be hung on a tree. After being exposed to wind, sun, and rain, its body rots and its bones fall to the ground.

The tree that Gao Min bumped into happened to have a dead cat hanging on it.The cat's corpse was wrapped around the neck with a hemp rope, and the other end was hung on a branch of a tree about three meters above the ground.

Gao Min covered her head with one hand, and raised her head while gasping for air. When she looked up, she saw the cat's corpse shaking in the twilight, and she also screamed in fright.

Gao Min is still young, about thirty, and her voice is more piercing than Goddess Luo's. She heard Goddess Luo's cry, and her cry naturally reached Goddess Luo's ears.

Goddess Luo didn't know what was going on with her, she only said that she called out, and the people below called back to her!I was so frightened that I lost control of my bladder and bowels, and I couldn't even scream.

After Gao Min cried out, he saw clearly that it was the cat corpse that surprised him. He spat, said "unlucky" and went home with a wag.

Goddess Luo is actually a staunch atheist.

She herself is an expert in pretending to be gods and playing ghosts, and she knows best about ghosts and gods. If there were ghosts and gods, she would have suffered retribution for so many years of using this name to amass money!
But when this incident happened today, her stance became unsteady—could there really be a ghost, and it's just that I was lucky enough not to encounter it before? !
Goddess Luo was scared out of her wits. She was stunned for a while, looking at the dark and empty fields, and then at Xi Pozi floating in the water, she got up and ran towards Banyan Village—— The nearest place to her with the most people is Banyan Village!Where there are many people, the yang energy is strong. No matter whether there are ghosts or not, it is definitely right to go to places with many people!

Because two people went to Rongshu Village recently, they both died in vain. Everyone was afraid. When it got dark, people all went home.

Goddess Luo swung her old legs along the river, and she didn't meet anyone along the way. She ran and ran, passed the place where Grand Uncle and Rong Ping had an accident, and ran all the way, running and running...

Hey? !From a distance, I saw two figures in white clothes walking slowly in front of me!Is this another ghost encounter? !
She was frightened again, as soon as the scream came out, she quickly covered her mouth, thinking, the two of them didn't see me, so don't startle them yourself!
She turned and ran again.

Two people in white clothes - He Futing and He Youtian's uncle and nephew heard the half-scream, turned around and saw a shadow that was rising and falling about a hundred meters away from them, moving towards the distance flee!Goddess Luo was frightened three times, and she ran such a long distance in one breath, her footsteps were already unsteady, and she fell three times after ten steps, so naturally she fluctuated up and down.

He Futing backed away in fright: "Oh! Oh my god! What, what is that?!"

He Youtian is young, and his eyesight is much better than that of He Futing, and he also knows Goddess Luo, and has had close contact several times. For good luck, Goddess Luo pretended to be a cripple walking like a cripple, saying that it was the iron crutch Li who was on her body.Therefore, He Youtian immediately recognized that strange thing as Goddess Luo.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction in which Goddess Luo was escaping: "It turned out to be her..."

He Futing didn't care about the dignity of his elders anymore. He was so scared to death, but seeing He Youtian's calm face, he pulled He Youtian's sleeve and asked, "Youtian, what do you think is that?! We heard strange things just now. Is the cry also from that thing?"

He Futing and He Youtian were far away, and they only heard the two screams of Goddess Luo and Gao Min indistinctly.

He Youtian withdrew his gaze, pretended to be thinking, and said after a pause, "Mandrill!"

"What, what is it?"

He Youtian said slowly: "Mandrill, a monster mentioned in the "Shan Hai Jing". It is most likely to appear in places with mountains and water. We rely on Daqing Mountain, and there are many strange things there! But , Uncle, don’t worry, they are afraid of people, and they usually run away when they see people.”

He Futing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the mandrill was afraid of people, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Oh, that's good. Hey, it's really not peaceful. Even this kind of strange thing has gone down the mountain. It seems that we really have to do a good ritual!"

"Well, some things really need to be cleaned up!" He Youtian smiled and supported He Futing's arm: "Uncle, be careful, it's not easy to walk in the dark..."

"Oh, half of my old life is almost gone... These things are really real, they don't go where they should go, what are you doing with our chassis if there is nothing to do! They must be cleaned up!"
