"That's how things happened! Master Jiu, my brothers' lives are all left to you! If you come back a little later, I'm afraid you can only help me collect the body!" Lei Zi cried and held my hand tightly.

"The whole thing was caused by Old Man Li, and the key point of the matter was that blood baby. I initially estimated that you might have been possessed by evil spirits. But to truly unravel the secrets, you may have to figure out the origin of the blood baby first!" I said.

"Yes! I think so too! But no one knows where the blood baby came from?" Lei Zi said with a bitter expression, spreading his hands, looking helpless.

"I will definitely not find out the origin of the blood baby in a while. It seems that our only entry point now is Old Man Li! Because your body has such symptoms, after carrying the coffin for Old Man Li, I think this matter has nothing to do with Old Man Li!" I touched my chin and analyzed.

"But..." Lei Zi frowned: "I have thought about this problem too, but Old Man Li is a good person on weekdays. He is a kind-hearted old man. He has participated in the Red Army and is also kind-hearted. He is not a traitor or evil person. Besides, we kindly help him carry a coffin to attend the funeral. He should have no reason to harm us, right?"

"Who knows, no one can explain this matter clearly. Facts are better than words. Only after investigation can we trace the root cause and find the cause!" I said with a serious look on my face.

Lei Zi looked at me with admiration: "Jiu Master, the people who have gone out to see the world are really different. They speak one by one! Then tell me, how can we trace the root of the root?"

"The cause is Old Man Li, right?" I said.

Lei Zi nodded: "That's right! Old Man Li is the cause. Everything was caused by us carrying the coffin for Old Man Li! Thinking about it now, I regretted it. If I had known it, I wouldn't have taken this life. I would have celebrated the New Year happily. I don't know if I still have the life to live for the New Year? Moreover, what I am most depressed is that I have caused trouble to those old brothers in Lao Huang again!"

"Then let's start with Old Man Li!" I stood up with bright eyes.

"How to start?" Lei Zi asked curiously.

My eyes sank and I squeezed out two words from my teeth: "Open the grave!"

"Oh my God!" Lei Zi was shocked and rolled off the bed again, falling to eat shit.

I quickly helped Lei Zi up: "What are you nervous about?"

Lei Zi opened his eyes wide: "What did you say just now? Open a grave? Do you want to open an old man Li's grave?"

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "If you don't open a grave, how can you trace the root and find out the real reason?"

Opening a grave is a more elegant statement in our industry.

In fact, the simple and crude way of saying it is to dig a grave!

Digging graves and opening coffins is the most harmful thing. This is usually done by tomb robbers and will be punished by God. But for the first time, in order to find out the "cause of the disease" of my good brother, I can only do something unethical to do once. However, if I really find any clues in Old Man Li's grave and eliminate evil, it is not imperfection, but accumulation of virtue.

"Is it not good to open a grave?" Lei Zi is still quite taboo about such things. After all, we are in this industry and are worried that if others know about this, they will ruin our own signature.

I said seriously: "I know it's not good either, but Old Man Li is the key point of the matter. What should I do if I don't check him? Are you watching you die?"

Speaking of this, I paused and took a deep breath: "Even if I was scolded by people, even if I stopped doing this business from now on, for you and for the sake of Lao Huang and other brothers, I must open a grave!"

I said this firmly, and it was definitely a touching emotion.

Because in my heart, Lei Zi is like a brother and I, no brother is better than brothers. Lao Huang and other coffin-carrying maker are my good brothers. On weekdays, they regard me as their boss. Jiu Ye and Jiu Ye called me. Today, when my brothers are in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?

Lei Zi was very moved and held my hand tightly: "Master Jiu, thank you, thank you! I will give you the support of Lao Huang's brothers!"

"Don't call from Jiu Ye Jiu, it makes me feel uncomfortable all over. You should call me Jiu Ye Zi, it will be comfortable to listen!" I said.

"Thank you, Jiuyizi!" said Leizi.

"Thank you, no! How about it, can you still get up?" I asked Leizi.

"Barely able!" Lei Zi said, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

"In this way, I will transform you into a bowl of talisman water to temporarily restrain your pain. Then we will set off tonight and rush back to Niujia Village overnight. This matter should not be delayed, and we cannot be delayed anymore. I am afraid that if the time is delayed, you will be in danger of your life!" I said as I walked into the kitchen.

I took out a porcelain bowl, filled it with a bowl of clear water, took out a piece of yellow paper from my arms, lit an incense thread, and blew it out, and drew a talisman on the yellow paper with the smoke-filled thread, then lit the yellow talisman, melted the burned ashes into the clear water, turned into a bowl of black things like ink, brought it to Lei Zi, and told him to drink it.

Lei Zi frowned: "Damn, this thing is so disgusting!"

I said, "No matter how disgusting you are, you have to drink it. Pinch your nose and drink it in one breath! Don't taste it!"

"Okay!" Lei Zi nodded and took three deep breaths, just like a hero rushing to the execution ground. He picked up the talisman water with both hands, shouted, picked up the porcelain bowl, raised his neck, and saw his throat trembling, constantly making a gurgling sound, and soon drank a bowl of talisman water.

"Wow—Wow—" Lei Zi lay beside the bed, retching constantly.

I quickly covered his mouth: "Don't vomit! Don't vomit! If you vomit, it will be useless!"

Lei Zi forced the disgust in his heart back into his stomach and lay on the bed for a while. I asked him how he felt. Lei Zi touched his stomach: "It seems that it doesn't hurt as much as before! Hey, Master Jiu is worthy of being Master Jiu, it's amazing!"

I kicked Lei Zi gently: "Get up and pack up, let's go back to Niujia Village immediately!"

"Okay!" Lei Zi completely forgot that he was holding a big belly, and thought that he was as agile as usual, and was thrusting a carp like a conditioned reflex, but ended up falling heavily to the ground, falling to the eyes of Venus.

"What are you doing?" I asked curiously.

Lei Zi covered his crooked nose and said depressedly: "I forgot that I am pregnant! I'm going to have a carp to thrust?"

"Carp?" I couldn't help but laugh: "You are performing a dead toad, right?"

"Stop laughing, come and help me!" Lei Zi said.

"Okay, okay, you are a pregnant woman now, don't mess around!" I quickly helped Lei Zi up.

Lei Zi glared at me: "You are the pregnant woman! I hate it!"

Leizi and I packed up our things, left the mountain temple, and took advantage of the night to leave the Shuipu Village.

When I passed by my house, I asked Leizi to wait for me, and I would go home and say hello to my parents first.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I smelled the tempting smell of the food, which made me drool for a long time.

My mother had already prepared a full table of sumptuous meals. My father had already unscrewed a bottle of white wine and waved to me repeatedly: "Jiu Lizi, I'm back. Come and come quickly. Let's have two good drinks tonight!"

My mother took off her apron and asked me, "Hey, by the way, where is Lei Zi? Haven't you found someone?"

"I've found it, but something happened. We have to go back to Niujia Village overnight!" I said.

"What happened? Is it very urgent? Why did you rush back overnight?" The father put down his wine glass and asked worriedly.

"Not counting, a small matter, I will come back after dealing with it!" I said.

"Since it's a trivial matter, just eat dinner before leaving. Look at your mother making such a big table of dishes, why don't you even eat rice?" said the father.

I patted my dad on the shoulder: "Dad, we're in a hurry. I really can't eat dinner anymore. I'll pack the plate of sausages and take them away. I'm hungry on the way! I'll have a drink with you when I'm back tomorrow! I'll leave first!"

I found a pocket, put the plate of sausage, and hurried out of the yard.

My mother called me from behind: "Oh, hurry up on the road. It's so dark and it's not safe to travel in the middle of the night!"

The father sighed: "My son is old, let him do whatever he wants!"

Leizi and I left Shuiwa Village, went up the mountain road, and rushed to Niujia Village overnight.

On the way, we shared the packed sausages to fill our stomachs.

However, because Lei Zi was erect, his footwork was not fast, and many times, I needed to pull him away.

Lei Zi shouted from behind: "Oh, slower! Slower! I am a pregnant woman! I am a pregnant woman! Don't walk so fast!"

The most funny thing is that when you encounter a downhill road, Lei Zi transformed into a meat ball and almost rolled down the mountain road.

By the time we arrived at Niujia Village, it was already late at night.

Everything in the village was silent, without any lights.

This is a good opportunity to open a grave. At this time, no one will go out. We can open a grave without knowing it. When it is dawn, we will bury the grave again, and naturally no one will know.

So, after arriving in Niujia Village, we walked through the village non-stop and rushed to the edge of the river beach.

The river wind blows, and the chills blow on your face.

I asked Leizi: "Where is Old Man Li's grave?"

Lei Zi led the way in front: "Come with me!"

I followed Lei Zishen and walked on the river beach with one foot shallow and one foot shallow. The river water in winter entered a period of depletion, revealing many pebbles and mudflats. The mudflats were covered with large reeds. When the river wind blew, a large reeds made a rustling sound, rolling and surging like waves.

Leizi took me into the reeds.

"It's here!" After a moment, Lei Zi stopped.

I raised the oil lamp in my hand and found that there was indeed a grave bag in the reeds. There was a bamboo pole standing on it with a tomb marker hanging on it.
Chapter completed!
