I just want to practice horizontally - Chapter 18
[Chapter 18 Eighteenth Chenjia Lane]
Qinghe Village Ancestral Hall.
The villagers left one by one and it became deserted again.
Second floor, inside the room.
The three old men were sitting at the table, the tea was steaming, and no one was touching it.
The man with the bitter melon face from before lowered his head in uneasiness, his palms were sweating, and he did not dare to look at the three elders with a clouded face.
“We three old guys don’t know how to eat people. I’m leaving you here to ask if that thing is gone too?”
Mr. Chen’s face softened, he waved his hand, indicating that Kugualian should not be nervous, and asked in a meaningful way.
Phew…
Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, the bitter-faced man wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: “Mr. Chen, I searched the village chief’s house, but… I didn’t see the fox demon… …”
“What fox demon?! Don’t you know the origin of that thing?”
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
But next to Mr. Chen, an old man with a square face and a broad nose, who could vaguely see the tall and heroic figure in his youth, glared and shouted angrily.
Snapped!
The bitter-faced man immediately slapped himself in the face and changed his words: “Oh, look at my mouth. Mr. Li, calm down, calm down, it’s a fox fairy, a fox fairy!” It’s no wonder that the bitter-faced man reacted like this
.
In fact, the three elders have always accumulated great authority and are the “living ancestors” of the three surnames in the village. Their words on some important matters are more effective than those of the village chief.
Even if he doesn’t want to, does he dare to show off his face?
“Oh, retribution, it’s all retribution!”
The white-haired old lady showed pain on her face, shook her head and sighed: “If we hadn’t been confused at the beginning and believed that bastard full of evil, we wouldn’t have hired someone who didn’t know the details. The wild fairy is back.
Now it is asking for debts for these things!”
Bang!
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the old man surnamed Li suddenly frowned angrily, as if he didn’t like others saying something bad about the fox fairy. Your Zhang family was extinct ten years ago!
Another question is whether it is true or not. The thing that appeared out of nowhere outside the village is more suspicious!”
“Li, you…”
The one who was slapped in the face. After scolding, the old lady of the Zhang family suddenly looked ugly and was about to retort angrily.
“Okay, okay, how old are you?”
Mr. Chen frowned, interrupted the increasingly strong smell of gunpowder between the two of them, waved his hand to let the frightened man with a bitter melon face leave first, and then continued to say in a deep voice: “Fox Whether they are immortals or mountain gods, they are far beyond what we ordinary humans can imagine and contend with. The
top priority is to minimize and avoid the recurrence of tragic disasters. As long as they are in the ancestral hall, no matter how ferocious they are, they dare not make too many mistakes.
After all, our Qinghe Village has also experienced disasters. A character who has left a legacy.
As long as you survive the remaining period, the winter is over, the fog dissipates, and you can move directly to the village!”
As he spoke, Mr. Chen cast his eyes on the altar table in the house, with deep respect, as if he was proud of you. .
On the table.
A skeleton that was as crystal clear as topaz sat cross-legged, with a black knife on its knees, exuding a majestic and majestic charm.
“Children and grandchildren are unworthy, children and grandchildren are unworthy…”
The topic came up with bones, and Mrs. Zhang immediately controlled her anger, closed her eyes and clasped her hands, and confessed again and again.
The old man surnamed Li, who originally had a fierce look on his face, also softened his expression, and the look of admiration in his eyes was not concealed at all.
It seems that these bones are the immortal myths in their hearts and their lifelong beliefs.
DONG DONG –
Knock on the door.
“Mr. Chen, the downstairs has started to be cleaned up. Please come down and say hello. Everyone is careless. If anything is broken, it will be a big sin.” After hearing this, the three elders stood up and each lit a stick of incense before going out and going downstairs
. .
Inside the house, there was smoke and silence.
Buzz –
On the altar table, the black knives on the legs of the skeleton trembled slightly, and a yellow halo appeared around the skeleton.
It’s like a person in deep sleep is awakened and wants to wake up.
…
in the village.
Jiang Wuye, who was walking on the uninhabited dirt road, felt something in his heart. He seemed to feel something and glanced around suspiciously.
The feeling just now was as if the entire lifeless village was suddenly full of vitality and was about to revive.
But this feeling is too short-lived, it can be said to be fleeting.
Take a look.
In the village, the wind and rain were miserable, everything was dead, and still nothing alive could be seen.
Too much yearning and hallucination?
Shaking his head, Jiang Wuye continued walking home without thinking deeply.
Um…that’s it?
Unknowingly, once again approaching the strange alleyway in the village called Chenjia Lane, Jiang Wuye, who had just walked out of the fork in the road, shrank back again, leaning against the wall with only half of his head sticking out to observe.
I saw.
At the entrance of Chen’s alley, a skinny man with shabby appearance, slovenly clothes and half-white hair was kneeling in front of a brazier, burning paper money and whispering something in tears.
A person is mumbling, sometimes crying, sometimes scolding, and sometimes scratching his hair crazily, which is extremely weird.
Chen Laizi?
Jiang Wuye thought about it for a moment, and the information about the man at the alley emerged in his memory.
Chen Nianyi has been practicing medicine for generations.
When he was young, he broke his leg while collecting herbs and gradually became a cripple.
There was a plague ten years ago. If it weren’t for him, the village might have been deserted.
Unfortunately, it is said that treating others does not govern yourself.
His family was among the first to be infected and became extremely ill. In the end, despite all their efforts, they could not be saved.
Since then, he has been stimulated. He often goes crazy suddenly on weekdays, or he always gets drunk alone and falls unconscious in an unknown corner of the village.
Over the years, if he hadn’t had some medical skills and the help from the villagers, he might have died long ago.
Speaking of which, my predecessor was also one of the infected people back then.
Lying in bed all day long, breathing heavily.
If it weren’t for Chen Laizi, I’m afraid he would have returned to the west long ago, and there would be nothing to do with Jiang Wuye.
What is he doing here?
After observing for a while, Jiang Wuye, who was puzzled, listened attentively and wanted to hear what Chen Cripple was talking about.
His hearing ability is now far beyond ordinary people’s. If he is careful, he can still hear Chen Laizi talking to himself even though he is more than ten meters away.
“My father is not a human being… If you want to find me, just look for me as your son… Wuwu…
He couldn’t have done anything back then… He was so rich in debt… He was going to be beaten to death if he didn’t pay back our family. …Every time my mother and I go out of the village, there are people guarding the entrance of the village… Wuwu… I really didn’t mean it…” Hearing the
scattered information, Monk Jiang Wuye and Zhang Er were confused and confused. , the predecessor had no image at all in this regard.
However, after thinking about the female ghost in the alleyway and what Chen Laizi said about ‘you’, Jiang Wuye could guess some of the general cause and effect.
If what he thought was correct, it should be that Chen Laizi’s father had incurred debts outside the country and had no other choice but to resort to some method to defraud the people in the alleyway.
Resulting in resentment lingering after death and harming people’s lives.
And from what it sounds like, not just one or two people have been harmed by things in the alleyways in recent years.
But for some reason, the villagers seldom mentioned this, so that even the predecessor did not know that the deaths in the village were related to Chenjia Lane.
It seems that Qinghe Village has the same taboo about this alley as it does about the fox fairy.
Chen Zizi’s pretending to be crazy and stupid these years is probably because of this knot in his mind.
“I know you are unwilling and have grievances. My father is gone. Just come at me, come at me… I just ask you to let the others go!” As he said this,
Chen Laizi suddenly became excited and stood up. To rush into the alley.
Jiang Wuye narrowed his eyes and moved slightly.
If the facts were as he suspected, Chen Laizi might be in trouble if he rushed in.
Huhuhuhu——
At this moment, the dark wind roared out from the alley, blowing the brazier into the sky and sending ashes flying all over the sky.
Chen Laizi fell to the ground like a rag doll and rolled all over in mud.
“Get out – get out – get out -“
In the alleyway, a series of sharp and harsh roars of hatred came out, with a biting murderous intent that could not be concealed.
Hiss…this is a hornet’s nest!
How the hell did I survive until now?
Behind the wall, Jiang Wuye, who was startled by the dense and vicious roar, took a deep breath and shuddered violently.
Two updates starting tomorrow! I said it!
