C14 Zhu san chuan

"Zhentian, if you need any help, feel free to ask." Old Mr. Tian said to his grandfather.

His grandfather nodded his head and took out a stack of talisman paper from his chest pocket. "Everyone put the talisman paper on the door and try to not to come out after dark. If you really want to come out, you have to come out together with them."

Then, his grandfather gave the talisman in his hand to the villagers. After the villagers received the talisman, they immediately thanked him.

After his grandfather had sent out the talisman, he said to the village chief, "Burn Li Yuan's family. After burning them, bury their ashes under the willow tree at the village entrance. Remember to burn them with peach wood."

"I'll do it." The village chief said to his grandfather before calling a few young men to go find the peach wood.

"You can all disperse, right now Li Yuan's house is full of evil Qi, you better not get infected by it." Grandfather said to the villagers.

When the villagers heard that Li Yuan's family had evil Qi, they all left.

After the villagers left, grandpa bitterly smiled and raised his forehead. I knew that grandpa was worrying about matters regarding the village.

"Qiankun, you should go back as well. There is a lot of Yin Qi in your body. If you were to be attacked by this evil Qi, you will be in trouble." Grandfather said to me.

I nodded my head before leaving. There wasn't anything I could do to help grandpa by staying by his side. Actually, I also knew that grandpa intentionally sent me away. Maybe grandpa felt that bringing me with him was a burden or was afraid that I would be in danger.

No matter what the reason was, it made me feel extremely uncomfortable. After returning home, I followed the yellow paper that my grandfather had given me and continued to meditate, hoping to quickly sense what my grandfather had said. That way, I could learn how to capture ghosts and also help my grandfather.

I closed my eyes and recited the spell in my mind. I forgot the passage of time while I was meditating. When I opened my eyes, it was already dark.

When I saw that the sky had already darkened, I was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect that the moment I closed my eyes, a day would pass.

Looks like the meditation technique written on the yellow paper isn't an ordinary thing. I really regret not having grandfather teach me earlier. At the same time, I was wondering where did grandfather go. It's already dark and he still hasn't returned.

The most important thing is, will Van'er come to find me tonight?

Just as I was thinking, my grandfather walked in.

"Grandfather, what did you do?" "Why did you come back at this time?" I saw my grandfather come back and ask.

"Nothing." Pappy waved at me, then walked into the house.

When my grandfather walked out, he held a peach wood sword and flashlight in his hand. He said to me, "Qiankun, I'm not staying at home today. I'll go watch the night."

It seemed that grandpa was afraid that there would be more trouble today, so I decided not to sleep and instead go to protect the villagers. I nodded and told grandpa to be careful.

Grandfather walked out of the door. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he asked Grandfather, what if Fan Zhen appeared tonight?

Grandfather is going to watch the night, if Fan Zhen comes to find me tonight, I'm dead for sure.

Grandfather stopped walking and said to me, "Don't worry. Fan Zhen's injuries won't heal that quickly. As long as you obediently stay in the house, nothing will happen."

He closed the door.

Although grandpa said it with such certainty, I still wasn't at ease. I simply made some food, and after eating, I ran into the house and shut the doors and windows tightly before going to bed. In order to strengthen my courage, I didn't even turn on the lights.

Not long after I went to bed, the light began to flicker, and in the end it went out with a snap.

The entire room sank into darkness. Then, "Dong" "Dong" sounds could be heard.

Someone was knocking on the window, and when I heard the sound of knocking on the window, I became nervous. It couldn't be that Fan Jin had come, right? I looked towards the window, but I couldn't see anything. I could only see the endless darkness.

'Clang! 'The window opened by itself and a gust of cold wind blew in. The temperature of the room immediately dropped by a lot.

I saw the window open and got out of bed to close it. I went to the window and looked out.

The one with a bloody face is Zhu San. Last night, there were only two lines of blood on Zhu San's face and his face was covered in blood. If I didn't look carefully, I wouldn't be able to recognize him.

"I don't know why, but I can't enter your room anymore, so I came like this. I came here to tell you, the culprit who killed Li Yuan's family is in the village's east well. After settling the matter with Li Yuan's family, he came to save me." Zhu San said in a hollow voice.

After Zhu San said this, he disappeared. The originally extinguished lamp also lit up once again, immediately dispelling all the darkness.

I patted my chest and began to digest what Zhu San said just now. Zhu San's appearance this time was mainly to tell me that the culprit of Li Yuan's family was in the dried up well in the east of the village, and I didn't know if what he said was true or false. If what he said was true, then why would Zhu San know that the culprit of Li Yuan's family was in the dried up well in the east of the village?

I thought about it and decided to tell Grandfather what Zhu San said first. I took my flashlight and left the house to find Grandfather.

On the way to find grandpa, I asked another question: wasn't Zhu San able to come to my house, so why did he need me and grandpa to go to the back mountain to save him? I couldn't figure it out even after thinking for a while, so I threw this question to the back of my mind.

I looked for my grandfather in many places in the village, but didn't find him. I started to get anxious. Could it be that my grandfather didn't keep watch at all and went to do other things?

Just when I was anxious, I saw Grandfather at the corner of an alley. Grandfather was standing under a willow tree.

When I saw him, I called out to him.

Hearing that, Grandfather looked towards me. When he saw me, he was slightly stunned and immediately replied, "Qiankun, why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to stay home obediently?"

I didn't waste any words with grandpa and told grandpa what Zhu San had said.

After I finished speaking, I asked Grandfather if I should go to the dried-up well at the east end of the village and have a look.

Grandfather stroked his chin as he thought for a moment. Then, he said, "Let's go take a look."

I originally thought that my grandfather would chase me home, but I didn't expect that he actually didn't chase me away. I followed behind him, heading towards the dried-up well at the east side of the village.

We weren't far from the village's east dry well. Grandfather and I would arrive shortly.

The villagers who lived in the east end of the village all went out to work. They didn't even want to come back after messing around outside, so slowly, the east end of the village became deserted. Usually, no one would come here anymore.

There were a few crows on a dead tree. Grandfather and I alarmed them. They shouted a few times at me and Grandfather, then flew away with their wings flapping.

Even though I had my grandfather by my side, I still felt a wave of inexplicable fear, so I got a little closer to him.

Grandpa seemed to feel that I was scared, so he solemnly said, "Qiankun you remember, the ghost is scared of seven points, the man is scared of three parts, in the future when we meet, don't be afraid of the ghost, you're not afraid of the ghost, the ghost will be afraid of you, if you see the ghost, the ghost will feel powerless, naturally the thought of harming you will surface, even if you are scared, you have to pretend that you're not afraid, okay?"

"Grandpa, I know." I nodded at my grandfather.

I started to clean up the weeds. This well was originally a drinking well in the village, but after a child played with it on the side, he accidentally fell down and drowned, so the villagers gave up on this well, and the villagers started to look for a new one.

The villagers were afraid that the well would drown the children so they found a piece of marble to cover it with. They didn't know that after so many years, there was still water in the well.

I saw that the marble hadn't been moved, because it was covered in dust. If the killer of Li Yuan's family had been hiding inside, he would have definitely touched the marble. Now that the marble was untouched, Zhu San probably lied to me, so I told him my conjecture.

After his grandfather heard this, he smiled and shook his head.
