I deleted the text message and ignored my dad. Now that the village chief had entered the hospital, I didn’t know what to do for a moment. I sat in the village chief’s house waiting for Liu Banxian. Who knew that as soon as I sat down, Liu Banxian suddenly
When he came, he said that his master was busy and could not come now, so he asked us to fill up the old well first, otherwise the whole village would die!
I rolled my eyes at him, thinking that Liu Banxian probably didn't invite his master. Otherwise, if this was a life-threatening matter, how could his master not come?
After Liu Banxian made a fuss for a long time, he saw that I was indifferent. In addition, the village chief's wife kept crying, and the whole room was filled with smoke. He lost his energy and sat down on the ground, motionless.
After sitting on the ground for a long time, Liu Banxian struggled to sit up again, and came to me with a pair of cloudy eyes open.
"Yang Fan, did your father really come back last night?"
"Back." I replied subconsciously. Suddenly I remembered the strange thing just now, and then added: "I saw him in the afternoon."
"By the way, half-immortal, do living people have shadows?" I asked.
"Definitely, only ghosts and underworld people have no shadows. The underworld people don't refer to castrated people, but people who are not completely dead. They often don't know that they are dead, or they know that they are dead, but they don't want to enter.
Reincarnation.”
"Is there no trace of your father!?" Liu Banxian suddenly screamed and jumped up from the ground, stared at me and said, "Isn't that right?"
I shook my head and said: "Don't talk nonsense, my father has a shadow, I have seen it!"
"This is impossible! Your father is dead, and I saw it with my own eyes. How can it be false?" Liu Banxian said excitedly.
"Even if my father is really dead, why are you so excited?" I stared at Liu Banxian, wishing to tear his mouth to pieces!
"Uh...this, that..."
Seeing my bad attitude, Liu Banxian stopped emphasizing that my father was dead and asked me instead: "Has your father done anything strange since he came back?"
"Strange behavior? No, it's just that I don't know where I've been all day, and I've been wandering."
Liu Banxian said: "This is strange. Our village is so big. Where can a big living person like him go?"
"By the way, my father asked me to go with him to do something big tonight..."
"Big thing? What big thing?" Liu Banxian asked.
"I don't know. My father won't tell me. He's so mysterious."
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liu Banxian jumped up from the bench and stopped moving. A minute later, he hugged his own waist and said, "Oh, my old waist!"
"You didn't even ask..."
"It's over, he is trying to kill you!" Liu Banxian said anxiously.
"What should I do tonight? Should I go or not?" I was in a state of confusion. I didn't know who to believe. Liu Banxian was right in front of me. He must be a living person. I decided to see what he said.
Maybe my dad is really dead?
Liu Banxian hesitated for a moment, then stood up and brought a pen and paper over, saying that he wanted to test my words and predict the good or bad luck tonight. If it was a bad omen, then I wouldn't go.
I thought it was quite unreliable, but I still cooperated and wrote the word "cow" on the paper.
"How about it?"
I actually don’t believe in calligraphy tests at all. The reason why I wrote the word “cow” was because I didn’t know what to write for a while. I looked up and saw the village chief’s cow tied up in the yard, so I wrote this word casually.
"No, I'm afraid something will happen to you tonight!"
When he said that, I was a little scared, but I was scared by Liu Banxian's tone. It wasn't that I was really afraid of something happening. I didn't want to go in the first place, so what could happen?
"What you wrote is the word 'cow'. It originally has a good meaning. The splitting of the word is smooth. The glance is of a person, leaning on a two and a vertical. These are all smooth, but..."
"But what?"
I stood up all of a sudden and got a lot closer. I could even smell the strange smell on Liu Banxian's body. I didn't know how long it had been since he took a shower. I pretended to be nervous and looked at Liu Banxian to see if he was going to do this. Fudge me.
"The word 'niu' you wrote is originally good, but you wrote it under the eaves, and the eaves are like '宀'. Now it seems that it is the word 'lao' instead. This can only be a bad solution. "
"Another interpretation of the word "prison" is that you may be trapped tonight and you will not be able to get up or get down."
Liu Banxian sat on the stool, closing his eyes and saying nothing. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Then shall I go or not tonight?" I asked.
Liu Banxian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Go, but I have to follow, otherwise something will happen to you."
I rolled my eyes, thinking that if you want to go, just say it directly. After such a big detour, don't you just want to follow me to see it?
In fact, it doesn’t matter if Liu Banxian follows me, or if I have to go with my dad by myself, I’m really a little scared. After all, my dad is in a very special situation now. He is said to be alive, but it is very abnormal. He is said to be dead, but he can walk, speak and send text messages. of……
In fact, I feel very strange. My father is like this now. I was very sad at first, but knowing that he is not dead, I feel relieved again. Now Liu Banxian avoids the topic of whether my father is dead, but suddenly makes me nervous. stand up.
After making an appointment with Liu Banxian to set off in the evening, I returned to my home.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, my father knocked on my door, and I followed him into the main room. I saw him holding a roll of hemp rope wrapped around his shoulder, a hoe in his hand, and a hoe on his back. Gunny handed me a flashlight and said, "Eat something first before leaving!"
I was stunned for a moment and looked into my father's hand. I saw him holding a pot of roasted meat and putting it on the table. He poured me another glass of wine and said, "I killed Xiao Huang. This roasted chicken My father-in-law has been causing trouble all day long, so you should eat quickly. Once you are full, you can work better."
I asked my father again what he was doing at night, and he held up a glass of wine and drank it at me, telling me not to ask and just follow him. My father drank a few sips of wine from me, and my face turned red. I felt like the sky was spinning, and my eyes were spinning. Everything I looked at started to have ghost images.
In less than half an hour, the two of us had eaten all the meat and the wine bottle was at the bottom. My father picked up the prepared hemp rope and hoe, pulled me and walked out.
"Dad, what are we going to do?"
My father was stunned for a moment and said, "Go to the old well at the entrance of the village. There is something down there that you have never seen before and that you have always dreamed of."
"What's down there!?" I asked at the top of my lungs.
"Do you really want to know?" Dad looked at me seriously.
I nodded, and my father said: "There are several coffins down there, with countless gold and silver treasures inside. Do you understand?"
"Really?" I was doubtful.
"Can I still lie to you?" my father asked back, and pulled me to continue walking without any explanation.
The night in the countryside was very quiet. It was already a quarter past eleven, and there were almost no people on the road. Then a few crows were hovering in the air, cawing indiscriminately.
I followed my father and looked at his slender figure in the dark. A strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart, and I felt a little chilly on my back.
I looked at my phone again. Liu Banxian didn’t reply, and I don’t know if he saw him. If he saw him and didn’t dare to come for the time being, then I would be miserable. Although I didn’t believe what he said through the word test, I still felt
panic.
When I walked to the edge of the old well, I didn't find Liu Banxian, but the potholes on the ground caught my attention. After the soil was washed by the rain, it became soft, and the potholes looked like small puddles at first glance.
After a closer look, I discovered that this small hole was as big as the mouth of a bowl and about one meter deep. I don’t know how it was formed.
The pits one after another made my hair stand on end, and when I looked down at the old well, it was even darker and I couldn't see anything clearly.
My father tied the rope around my waist and told me to tie it to the acacia tree nearby. I had to tie it tightly, otherwise if I fell, I would be like Liu Banxian and never come back up.
My heart skipped a beat and I said, "Liu Banxian is back, he's not dead!"
In fact, I really wanted to tell my dad that he might be dead, but I finally couldn't tell him. It would be too cruel to my dad.
"What?" Dad stared at me with eyes wide open and said, "I saw him fall with my own eyes, and then he climbed up?"
"Yes, he climbed up. I saw it with my own eyes, and he said..."
