Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhou Xiaoze was completely confused. The Cai Kui he met in the village just now said that he just came from his grandfather's place. Why is there another Cai Kui beside his grandfather now?
This thing is really outrageous. After encountering such an unpredictable thing, a person will definitely not be able to bear this kind of brain-burning stimulation. If he is not sent to a mental hospital to recuperate for a period of time, he will be punished.
Your brain is made of iron.
Zhou Xiaoze quickly dodged behind the old locust tree. He saw his grandfather bend down and put an incense stick at the door of the yard, lit it, then straightened up and waved to Cai Kui: "Cai Kui, this is what I gave you."
You lit a pillar of soul-sending incense. Now that my grandson is back, you should leave here!"
Hearing this, Cai Kui bowed deeply to Ji Zhantian respectfully, lowered his head and said: "Yes, master, from now on, as long as you have any orders, my subordinates will be at your disposal at any time!"
What's going on? This Cai Kui calls grandpa master, but he is actually grandpa's subordinate?
Zhou Xiaoze felt as if he was confused and his mind was getting more and more confused!
At this moment, Ji Zhantian seemed a little impatient and waved his hand at Cai Kui: "Okay, you can go!"
After hearing what Ji Zhantian said, Cai Kui didn't dare to say anything more. He lowered his head and hurried past Zhou Xiaoze, disappearing without a trace.
The Cai Kui now was a little different from the Cai Kui Zhou Xiaoze met in the village: when he lowered his head, it didn't actually roll down.
Moreover, when Cai Kui left, he moved very quickly. Zhou Xiaoze felt that he was passing by like a wisp of evil wind, making the hairs on his body stand up.
After Cai Kui disappeared, Ji Zhantian turned to Zhou Xiaoze and smiled slightly: "Silly boy, stop hiding from grandpa and come out!"
Zhou Xiaoze could tell that his grandfather's voice seemed particularly weak when he called him.
"grandfather!"
Zhou Xiaoze quickly emerged from behind the old locust tree.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoze was full of doubts and wanted to ask his grandpa, but grandpa seemed to know what he was thinking. He held my hand tightly with his left hand and gently touched his face with his right hand. Two lines of tears came out of his eyes:
"My child, you are finally back. If anything happens to you, grandpa will lose his life. Come into the house with me. If you have any questions, we will talk to you when we get there!"
Zhou Xiaoze knew how much his grandfather loved him. During this thrilling night of separation, he knew very well how much suffering his grandfather had endured.
Seeing his head full of white hair and his waist that had collapsed overnight, Zhou Xiaoze couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Entering the room, as soon as Zhou Xiaoze sat down, Ji Zhantian made him a cup of tea and brought it to him: "Child, drink a glass of water first!"
Normally, Ji Zhantian prepares a set of tableware for Zhou Xiaoze alone. The bowl is carved from dark green jade from Qilian Mountain, and the chopsticks are specially made from Burmese tree jade hundreds of millions of years ago. Just use the one he is drinking tea with now.
As for the cup, it is made of Hetian jasper.
Grandpa said that good jade has spiritual power, and jade can nourish people. His body is different from others, and he usually relies on the spiritual power of jade to take care of him.
Zhou Xiaoze has never felt that his body is any different from others. It is probably because his grandfather dotes on his grandson too much, so he should use this rhetoric to comfort him!
It is said that they are related by generations, but grandpa is always like this. He will not let him interfere in anything. He will help his grandson to prepare everything for him to eat and drink.
Sometimes Zhou Xiaoze thinks to himself, Grandpa, I am your grandson. You dote on your grandson so much, and sometimes I really can't bear it.
Zhou Xiaoze took the cup of tea and took a sip when his eyes accidentally fell on his grandfather's chest. His hand shook and the cup almost fell to the ground and broke.
There was a pool of blood on the clothes on Ji Zhantian's chest. He seemed to be afraid of being seen by Zhou Xiaoze, so he hurriedly turned sideways.
Despite this, Zhou Xiaoze still noticed that his grandfather's eyebrows twitched and he groaned.
"Grandpa, why are you... injured?" Zhou Xiaoze put down the cup and hurried to Ji Zhantian's side.
"Silly boy, a little injury, nothing serious!"
Obviously grandpa didn't want Zhou Xiaoze to worry about him.
However, Zhou Xiaoze found that his grandfather's pale old face had large beads of sweat due to his pain.
Zhou Xiaoze was anxious, "Grandpa, don't hide it from me. You must be seriously injured. I'll take you to the hospital in town!"
Grandpa glared at him: "You kid, Grandpa is half a doctor. When did you find out that Grandpa has been to the hospital? Grandpa is fine. The most important thing right now is that you tell Grandpa everything that happened last night.
Listen!"
Zhou Xiaoze still knew about his grandfather's temper. If he decided to make a decision, eight big water bulls would not be able to bring him back.
Zhou Xiaoze helped his grandfather sit down on the chair with a backrest in the middle of the room, and then poured him a glass of water.
"Grandpa, if my sister-in-law hadn't appeared again last night, I would never have seen you again this time!" Speaking of his sister-in-law, Zhou Xiaoze carefully told his grandfather the whole story of what happened last night.
.
Of course, as for the fact that after my sister-in-law rescued him, he lay in her arms and forcibly sucked milk in her dream, she didn't tell grandpa, how shameful that was!
"Your sister-in-law seems to care about you more than me!"
After listening to his grandson's story, Ji Zhantian smiled wryly to himself: "If I have the chance to see your sister-in-law in the future, I will definitely invite her to my home. I have to express my gratitude to her in person."
"It's just that Grandpa is so strange. Who is this little aunt of yours who appears out of nowhere? To save you, she simply doesn't care about her own life or death!"
At the same time, grandpa also told Zhou Xiaoze what happened to him last night.
At that time, after Ji Zhantian discovered that there were many small white snakes entangled in Cai Fangfang's wide coffin, he knew that something was wrong, so he quickly sealed the coffin and filled it with soil, and prepared to take Zhou Xiaoze back home immediately.
Unexpectedly, a thick haze surrounded them at this time, and the surrounding branches and vines seemed to be alive under the attack of the Yin Spirit, flying over to entangle the grandfather and grandson.
Fortunately, Ji Zhantian was well prepared when he went to the foot of the Western Mountain. He had a machete more than a foot long tied to his waist behind him. Don't underestimate this small machete.
Refined with magic spells, it is immune to all evil.
Ji Zhantian held Zhou Xiaoze tightly with one hand, and pulled out the machete with the other hand, slashing hard at the branches of the vines surrounding them. Every time he cut with the knife, the fractures of the vines appeared strangely.
A pool of blood spurted out.
After struggling for more than an hour, Ji Zhantian finally led Zhou Xiaoze out of the foot of the West Mountain. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt something strange in the hand holding his grandson. When he turned his head to look at his grandson, he was suddenly frightened.
Zhang’s face turned pale...
At this moment, Ji Zhantian could not even dream that the person he was holding tightly in his hand was no longer his grandson, but a paper man, whose appearance and size were almost exactly the same as Zhou Xiaoze's.
When the paper man noticed that Ji Zhantian was looking at it, a sly smile appeared on his face. The originally painted lips moved and he spoke: "Ji Zhantian, right? You've been fooled.
Your precious grandson has fallen into our hands."
"Where did you do my grandson!" Ji Zhantian was furious, and he began to regret bringing his grandson to the foot of the Western Mountain.
However, under Ji Zhantian's angry questioning, the paper man did not answer him. A gust of wind blew and the paper man flew a few steps away and fell to the ground.
Ji Zhantian rushed forward with a sprint, but the paper man had turned into a ball of ashes.
This paper figurine was made from unknown paper figurines. It was then burned and transformed into the shape of Zhou Xiaoze, appearing next to Ji Zhantian.
Ji Zhantian almost went crazy and kicked away the ashes of the paper figurine. With a machete in his hand, he turned around and swept into the woods at the foot of the Western Mountain like a whirlwind.
At this time, the haze had long since dissipated, and the bright moon was shining brightly. Ji Zhantian searched everywhere but found no trace of his grandson...
Having said this, Ji Zhantian let out a long sigh and sighed again: "Oze, I really want to meet your sister-in-law and express my gratitude to her in person, but I don't know where she is hiding!"
If Zhou Xiaoze knew where his sister-in-law was hiding, he would definitely rush over to see her. She had suffered severe physical injuries just to save him, and she was seriously injured again this time. He really wanted to see her now.
How is the situation?
But this sister-in-law, who is less than two years older than Zhou Xiaoze, has always refused to tell her where she lives. He can't figure out whether she is deliberately trying to keep her mysterious with him!
"Grandpa, when I passed by the village on my way back, I found the dead Cai Kui. But when I arrived at the door of my house, why did I find another Cai Kui here?" Regardless of whether grandpa is willing to tell him, Zhou Xiaoze
I feel that I must ask more clearly, otherwise, he will really die of suffocation.
Ji Zhantian glanced at Zhou Xiaoze, paused slightly, and said, "Son, the two Cai Kui you met are actually the same Cai Kui!"
Zhou Xiaoze felt that this matter was getting more and more confusing. The two Cai Kui were very different in form and quality. How could they be the same Cai Kui?
Seeing Zhou Xiaoze's confused look, Ji Zhantian kept squinting his eyes and opened them slightly, his face looked a bit stern, and said: "My child, there are some things I didn't want to tell you, for fear that you would get involved too deeply. Since
You got involved so quickly, I might as well tell you."
"Actually, Cai Kui, his daughter Cai Fangfang, and his family all died three years ago!"
After hearing what his grandfather said, Zhou Xiaoze found that more than half of his brain cells had been wiped out in an instant, and his thinking could no longer keep up with what his grandfather had stated.
Since Cai Kui's family all died three years ago, how come they can still appear in the village like normal people?
Especially that Cai Kui, a dead man can not only eat, drink and poop like a normal person, but can even preside over daily work in the village?
After all, Cai Kui is the head of the village. He and his family died three years ago. As a member of the fallen village, how could he not know?
That's all. Could it be that the whole village didn't know anything about the death of his family?
It’s unbelievable to think about it. A whole village of living people is led by a dead man. If word of this got out, wouldn’t it become an unprecedented anecdote?
If you tell a ghost this, most of its head will definitely be broken off.
"Grandpa, I still don't understand what you mean." It would be strange if Zhou Xiaoze could understand such a bizarre thing.
In the past three years, Cai Kui has come to their house frequently. Every time he comes, he talks and laughs happily with his grandfather. Why can't he see anything different from normal people in him?
Obviously, Ji Zhantian also saw that Zhou Xiaoze was in a state of confusion.
He lit a cigarette, frowned, and after he took a long puff of the cigarette and blew it out, he said: "Good boy, I know you are full of doubts. In fact, as early as three years ago, even
Grandpa felt inexplicably shocked and strange about the sudden death of Cai Kui's family..."
The following is roughly what Ji Zhantian said to Zhou Xiaoze:
One winter morning three years ago, Ji Zhantian was chopping firewood at the door. Cai Kui came to the door with his head raised, and told him with a sad face that he had a dream last night. In the dream, there was a man wearing a bronze ghost face mask who could not distinguish between men and women.
The man told him that a mark had been placed on their family and that their whole family would die.
At that time, Ji Zhantian heard this and thought it was funny, it was just a dream. However, Cai Kui opened his clothes in front of him, and there was a purple-black exotic flower on his back.
Cai Kui told Ji Zhantian that not only he had such a strange flower on his body, but also his wife Caihua, daughter, and son also had it on their backs.
When Ji Zhantian looked at the flower on Cai Kui's body, his expression suddenly changed. He stared at Cai Kui as if he were a monster, and his heart seemed to be filled with waves!
At this moment, grandpa realized that Cai Kui was already a dead man:
