Seven or eight dark men with somewhat similar faces and facial features surrounded the old woman and Su Wu in the center, looking at the old woman sitting on the small chair with concern.
The old woman wiped her tears, handed the note and the smelted silver-like substance tightly in her hand to the old man with white hair and wrinkles, and said slowly: "Brother,
Look at this note and this thing...
This was found from Wenjuan, from Wenjuan's ashes - Zhuzi said that he had passed out before because a female ghost covered with a white hijab floated out of Wenjuan's ashes in the middle of the night.
Choke his neck and want his life!
My child used to be afraid that I would worry him, so he refused to say anything. Although he never said anything, my brother and sister, I have always been murmuring in my heart, if Zhuzi hadn't been hit by an evil spirit and fell into a coma, why would a foreign Taoist priest come to read a few sutras to him?
Is his illness cured?
There must be some evil spirit at work secretly...
Today he asked about his mother's past and told me about the female ghost choking his neck. I just turned over Wenjuan's ashes and saw this note and this piece of silver that looked like it was not.
Silver things, her uncle, look at these things, are they normal things?
Wen Juan died miserably at that time. The doctor hired by Wang Huan said that she died of tuberculosis. If the body was not cremated, the disease might be transmitted to others. Without my family's consent, the body was burned, leaving only a pile.
The ashes - that is, Wenjuan's ashes, they are not letting go, they have to do these things - it's too bullying, it's too bullying!
Now he not only wants to bully me, a lonely old woman, but he also wants to kill my grandson!
There's nothing I can do!
I can only ask the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother to come over and help me, an old woman, as if I were helping your deceased brother!"
The eldest of the five brothers in the Li family, the white-haired old man who was called the eldest brother by his grandma had a serious look on his face. He took the note and silver-like objects handed over by his grandma. He wrinkled up as soon as he held the smelting object in his hand.
Brow: "This thing is wrong, it is indeed not silver.
When this thing is in my hand, it is like a piece of flesh attached to my body.
Take a look, do you feel the same as me?"
As he spoke, 'Li Bojiang' handed the piece of smelting to his third brother Li Shuchuan for inspection.
He listened to his grandma's words, spread out the ball of paper, and saw the birth date written on the ball of paper. When he saw the year, month and day indicated on the birth date, he frowned: "This is Wenjuan's birth date.
?”
"Yes." The old woman said with red eyes.
"Why should the deceased's birth date and her ashes be placed together, and what is that piece of silver?
There's definitely something wrong with this.
Wang Huan, that boy, looks pretty and pretty, but actually has a vicious heart.
At that time, as soon as the news came that the immortal memorial tablets were to be built nearby, he ran to Wanshan every day. He must have given Wenjuan's birth date and birth date to the group of masons who were driving the piles." Li Bojiang spoke and looked towards
The other brothers asked, "Do you know what that piece of silver is?"
Several men shook their heads.
Li Bojiang looked at Su Wu, his expression softened slightly: "I'm not afraid.
You will also be a member of our Lao Li family from now on, and your grandpas will definitely protect you!"
He took back the piece of silver-like smelting object from the younger generation, and then said to the old woman: "Brother and sister, you don't have to worry about this matter. This matter is most likely related to that boy Wang Huan. He has done something wrong.
, you must be knocked on the door by a ghost - Xiong Biao, Xiong Biao!"
When his name was called, a short and burly middle-aged man responded quickly.
Both of them were as strong as cattle, but when their uncle called out their names, their faces were tense and serious, and they didn't dare to neglect them at all.
They are also the only remaining adults in the Li family.
"Tonight, you two go knock on the door of Wang Huan's house and kidnap that boy Wang Huan. If we go to find him during the day and question him about this matter face to face, he will definitely refuse to tell the truth and give us the answer at night.
Tie him over and ask him carefully before letting him go!" Li Bojiang made this arrangement.
Before he finished speaking, the old woman shook her head and said: "This won't work, this won't work!
Let Xiong Biao and the others take the risk. If Wang Huan reports to the government after he returns, Xiong Biao and the others will be doomed!
No, no, you can’t do this!”
Hearing what his grandma said, Li Bojiang smiled and shook his head, saying: "Brother and sister, what are you afraid of?
He, Wang Huanjin, married a maid sent by the wife of a wealthy man in Pingdu City, and became a prominent figure in the surrounding villages. The more these people think they have dignity, the less they want to be seen.
There was a bruise on his head and face.
Even if he goes to complain to the officials, when he gets to the court, all we have to say is that Zhuzi misses him as his father, so he sent Xiongbiao and the others to invite him, Wang Huan, to come over. What can he say?
In the final analysis, he is the one with the most conscienceless attitude!
Dare he report?
I'll lend him ten courages!"
Li Bojiang's words convinced her grandma, and she did not try to dissuade him.
The old man winked at Xiong Biao and Xiong Lian, and they hurried out.
"Heihu, please stay here tonight and stay with your grandma and Zhuzi.
There are a lot of empty houses here, so I asked Xiong Biao and other people in the house to come and stay for a few days. If anything happens at night, there will be people to take care of him." Li Bojiang arranged everything in an orderly manner, and finally touched Su Wu.
He raised his head and said with a smile, "I think you are recovering from your illness now. How about going to see the family tree tomorrow?"
"I'll go tomorrow." Su Wu nodded and agreed.
"Okay, okay!" Seeing that he agreed, Li Bojiang suddenly became happy and nodded repeatedly.
Several old men chatted with grandma for a while and comforted her. After her mood gradually stabilized, they dispersed.
Not long after, the mother of Li Xiongbiao's wife, Li Heihu, came to the house again and talked with the old woman.
…
The night is getting darker.
Su Wu listened to Li Heihu's even breathing next to him and suddenly opened his eyes.
He sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, and patted Li Heihu's face to wake him up.
Li Heihu looked blankly at Su Wu, who was neatly dressed beside the bed, and asked subconsciously: "Where are you going?"
"Go to Qingliu Village and see how your father and the others are doing." Su Wu replied.
"Oh..." Li Heihu responded vaguely, turned around again, and continued to sleep.
Su Wu put on her shoes and said, "Why don't you go and take a look?
I don't think things will be solved so easily tonight. Wang Huan might have some secret agent hiding there, specifically to deal with situations like someone coming to kidnap him in the middle of the night.
If he really left behind some hidden agenda, Uncle Xiong Biao and the others might be in trouble."
Heihu was about to fall asleep again, but Su Wu's words reached his ears one after another, which made his mind become more and more awake. He opened his eyes with a jolt, turned back to Su Wu and said: "Then Just wait for me, I'll go with you!"
As he spoke, Li Heihu opened the quilt, put on his clothes, carried his bow and arrows, put all the sheep, wooden knives and swords into the basket on his back, and quietly walked out of the door with Su Wu, and climbed out of the courtyard wall from the corner. .
Darkness spread throughout the village like thick fog.
The sparse outlines of a few houses and courtyards were scattered in the mist, with some wild trees and dead wood mixed in.
Li Heihu has been hunting in the mountains with his father since he was a child. He is indeed very courageous. This is obviously his first time walking at night. He is not afraid at all. He looks around excitedly and points to a small path that turns into a deep alley. : “It’s faster to walk to Jinliu Village from here!”
"Then let's go from here." Su Wu nodded, and then asked Li Heihu, "You learned the 'Nuo Shen Wen Zou Ke' from the old man Yang last night. Is there anyone who can help people on their way and travel thousands of miles?" Nuo god?
Please come over and help us on our way."
Li Heihu did not expect that Su Wu would make such a request. He hesitated and whispered to Su Wu: "I just memorized the spell last night, and I haven't officially started to learn the 'Nuo God Wen Zou Ke' yet!"
Even if there is a Nuo god who can help us on our way, I won’t invite him just by saying a few spells, right?”
"Then you can only use my method.
Just like when we walked there with both feet, the day lilies were probably cold when we got there," Su Wu said.
"Yeah!" Li Heihu nodded immediately, "Just use your method!"
He just finished speaking——
Su Wu took out a huge horse bell from his arms.
When he saw the horse bell, Li Heihu's face turned green: "Do I have to ring this bell?
How many times can you shake your grandmother and my mother awake?!"
"rest assured.
The sound of the bell can only be heard by you, me and Sheep Daquan.
No one else can hear it." Su Wu replied a few words, then waved his wrist——
Ding-dang-dang-dang!
A heavy and crisp bell suddenly rang.
The horse bells scattered into gray-white light in Su Wu's hands, and a gleaming white horse ran out of the light and stood quietly beside Su Wu!
Su Wu got on the horse, turned around and pulled Li Heihu, whose eyes were shining, onto the horse. He said: "Sit tight!"
With a pinch on the horse's belly, the horse turned into a white light and shadow, penetrated the path in an instant, and disappeared in an instant!
at the same time.
Li Xiongbiao and Li Xiongzhang also touched the root of the back wall of Wang Huan's house.
Looking at the high wall made of blue bricks, two or three people high, Li Xiongzhen couldn't help but cursed: "Wang Huan, how much does the family have to pay for the broken shoes he picked up?
How can you afford to build such a grand courtyard?"
Li Xiongbiao looked at the height of the wall and smiled when he heard this: "I'm afraid the family doesn't have much money for those shabby shoes.
I think it is unlikely that Wang Huan built this house with her money - or it was paid for by the rich man in the city. This house is said to belong to Wang Huan, but in fact it belongs to the rich man Zangjiao.
Jinwu, or the rich man's head wife, gave Wang Huan some compensation for collecting the broken shoes."
"What a rich man!" Li Xiongzhen cursed again.
The two chose a high-lying location, neatly stacked human ladders, and helped each other climb over the wall.
