C6 First seven wake night

The first seven was also known as "Soul Return Night". This name left the deepest impression on everyone, especially the movie "Soul Return Night" by Zhou Xingchi. The perfect combination of horror and comedy had left a deep impression on everyone, but in the countryside, the first seven was no stranger.

Because the legend said that the deceased would return home on the seventh day after their death, their families would prepare a bowl of rice for them to eat. They would light a candle at the entrance, lighting it, and scatter some ashes around the candle while people stayed far away from them. Even if they couldn't sleep, they would hide in their beds, which was said to prevent them from seeing their loved ones.

This kind of thing might not be clear, but the people here firmly believe that those who have died will return on this day, so we all attached great importance to it. We were naturally the same, otherwise we would not have been able to leave behind the Master Chen, and naturally, we were more worried about what would happen today.

But we have some confidence, and that is that the Master Chen is still with us, he is definitely not someone those swindlers can compare to, and we strongly believe that, once we see him cure the Second Uncle, we will know, with him, we can rest assured.

On the seventh day, we stayed up until nightfall. After dinner, we began to work on the seventh. The food was prepared during the day.

The candles were lit from the entrance of the courtyard all the way to the living room and the room where Pappy used to sleep, and the ashes and grasses were thrown in front of the door. The rice and fruit offerings were all ready, so we all went back to our respective rooms.

Everyone was very tired, but no one slept, so they just stayed up.

At around 11 PM, there was a sudden movement in the house. A gust of cold wind blew in. The rustling sound was like the sound of shoes scraping on the ground. It was very obvious in this silent environment and we could clearly hear it.

Ever since my grandfather died, there have been too many strange things that happened in the family. Everyone felt a little distracted, including my father and Second Uncle, and my family always felt like they lacked a backbone to take the helm, so I started to miss my grandfather a little. When my grandfather was alive, he was a person who kept his word, even Second Uncle and my father did not dare to disobey him, it was as if my grandfather had a backbone at home, we also felt a little more safe.

Thinking of all the memories I had with my grandfather made me feel very uncomfortable. After all, I grew up with him and he took me to slaughter pigs and sell pork since I was young. He also doted on me the most until I went to the county city to study.

"Xiao Yang!" Suddenly, Grandfather's voice appeared again. I immediately flipped over and sat up, excitedly calling him Grandfather.

But when I saw his face, I couldn't help but cry out in alarm, because my grandfather still had that pained expression on, but he clearly didn't have that blade on his stomach anymore.

"Xiao Yang, grandpa will see you one last time. You have to watch the blade well, don't throw it away, okay?" grandpa said to me.

"Knife, grandpa, the blade is missing, what should we do?" I hastily said. Right now, everyone is concerned about the blade, but what grandpa said is different from what we thought. We should look after the blade well, shouldn't we throw it away?

But grandpa only shook his head after I said that, and then kept telling me to look after the knife.

I kept asking him about the sabre, how it disappeared, where it went, but he didn't seem to hear me and didn't answer me. Then, within a minute, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs of the house, the sound of heavy boots on the floor, heavy and disorderly, as if there were a lot of people there. The sound of footsteps caused my grandfather's expression to change drastically.

"They're here, grandpa is leaving. Xiao Yang, watch the sabre, believe the sabre …" After hearing this sound, grandpa's face changed drastically and he shouted at me before immediately disappearing. After that, when grandpa left, the sound of footsteps could be heard again, as if there were many people coming downstairs.

I was not the only one who heard it. My father, Second Uncle, and everyone else in the Master Chen heard it, so I did not care about the rules anymore and rushed out to take a look.

All the lights were on in the house, everything was fine, nothing was affected, but when we got to the door, we were surprised, because there were a lot of footprints on the grass ash, at least seven or eight of them. This scared us all. Then let's see if they've all left, and if there are still people left at home.

"Don't worry, our home is currently very clean, there's nothing at all," Master Chen said immediately. Only then did we relax a little and ask Master Chen what was going on.

The Master Chen didn't know what to say, he just said that it was possible that there was some kind of special situation, since he had never met it before.

I also shook my head because I don't trust the Master Chen anymore. I keep having the feeling that he has some sort of purpose, and since he came here yesterday, he deliberately revealed a lot of things, such as his grandfather's matter, Feng Shui Mr.'s cry of surprise, I still remember clearly, I told him about it today, but he did not react at all, as if he had deliberately leaked it out.

Master Chen could not find any news nor show any special expression, he only said that he wanted to find a knife, and if he found one, that was his reward. If he could not find a knife, then he would have to leave, because there was someone else waiting for him to do something, and he could not stay here forever.

Master Chen wanted to leave, but it made his parents, Second Uncle and the others anxious. They pleaded for a while longer and promised them a lot of benefits, but Master Chen had a strong desire to leave. No matter how they tried to persuade him, he just had to leave tomorrow afternoon.

He could only agree, and then asked him what he would do if he couldn't find the blade. That blade had such an evil aura, his home was no longer safe, and Master Chen's suggestion was to move.

This suggestion made Second Uncle agree, because he was working in the city and had also bought a house. If he were to leave now, he would definitely agree.

However, my father did not quite agree with him. Firstly, it was a financial problem, with our current family assets, even if we sold our family belongings, we would only be able to make a down payment in the city, but after that, it would be a problem even for our livelihood, after all, there was no place in the city for my parents to grow up. Furthermore, I was still in university, so I still needed money.

After discussing it for half the night, we were still unable to come up with a plan. The views of the Second Uncle and the others were mainly based on their lives, while my father's homeland was hard to separate from, but I felt that we should be afraid, since we have a way to solve the problem, the Master Chen is not able to do so, we can look for Master Li, but there should be someone who can resolve it, so what's wrong with hiding. Unfortunately, no one believed my words.

The next day, our entire family went through the whole house, even Grandfather's previous room, but we still could not find the blade, so in the afternoon, Master Chen left. Someone came to pick him up, and when he did, my father gave him a thick red packet, because he said that he would give him the blade, but the blade was gone, and Second Uncle was indeed healed by him.

When Master Chen left, I also had to leave, because it was already past the time I needed to take leave, and I had even skipped school for a day. At school, the counselor called me who knows how many times, and she kept on asking if I wanted to go back to school, or if I didn't want to go back, I would have to leave at the end of term, so I didn't dare to stay any longer, and after telling my parents about the situation, I needed to pack up and leave. Before, it was always my dad who drove me, but this time, I let him rest at home.

I drove to the county town to buy my ticket back to school, but was stopped during the security check because the security guards found a knife in my bag, a pig slaughtering knife.

How could it be in my bag? Furthermore, I had checked my bag at least three or four times, but the fact was that the knife was in my bag, and the events of the last few days could not be explained by science, because no one could.

With the blade in my bag, I couldn't sit on the train anymore, and I remembered what my grandfather had told me to protect the blade well. I suddenly realized, could it be that my grandfather knew that the Master Chen also wanted this blade, but right now, the problem that my family was facing was the matter of moving because I couldn't find the blade.

What I didn't know was that in a rest area on a highway that was more than 100 kilometers away, Master Chen opened his bag.
