C8 Starved chicken
After the skinny old man heard this, he paused for a moment before saying to his grandfather, "Don't worry. If your grandson is in danger in the future, I will definitely help him."
After grandpa received the withered old man's Cheng Ruo, he smiled and led me out of the wooden house.
Walking out of the cabin, I looked at the sky and noticed that the sky had turned white. It would soon be dawn.
Tonight, I originally wanted to find the ghost of Fan Zhen, but now that Fan Zhen's ghost wasn't found, I actually experienced the feeling of both ice and fire.
Pappy looked back at the cabin and then led me back to the village.
On the way, I carefully thought about all of the conversations between grandpa and the skinny old man. It should be that grandpa and the skinny old man had offended someone in the past and ran here to avoid the enemy, and now that the enemy had come, the skinny old man chose to leave and grandpa no longer planned to leave. I was very curious about what kind of people grandfather and the skinny old man had offended before, and I wanted to ask grandpa, but I didn't dare to.
Also, that paper man was probably made by Grandpa's Chou family, and the man in the python robe who saved Fan Zhen was also related to Grandpa's Chou family.
After thinking for a while, I couldn't come up with a reason. My head started to feel dizzy, so I shook it off and stopped thinking about these things. I shouldn't worry about them anymore. Right now, the most important thing is to find Fan Zhen's ghost.
I asked grandpa, what should I do next?
Grandfather told me, of course, to find Fan Zhen's ghost.
I then asked my grandfather how we were going to find her ghost now that I didn't know where her body was.
Grandfather said to me after thinking for a while. First, he will go to Zhu Lao Six's house to investigate Fan Zhen's true cause of death.
I nodded my head, now I can pretty much be sure that Fan Zhen didn't suddenly die of a heart attack, I am now a hateful Zhu Lao Liu, if he didn't hide the cause of her death, perhaps I wouldn't have been pestered by her ghosts.
When my grandfather and I returned to the village, it was already broad daylight. The villagers had already left to work in the fields.
As soon as Pappy and I entered the village, we saw a group of women standing at an intersection discussing something. They all had frightened expressions on their faces, as if they were frightened by something.
When my grandfather and I weren't too far away from them, we heard a woman say, "Tell me, why do you guys think the son of the Lin Family suddenly died? His death looked so scary."
Another woman immediately followed up, "That's right, that Lin Clan kid has a very robust body. How could he suddenly die? There must be a reason."
When Pappy and I heard about the dead man, we stopped. Pappy walked over to the group of women and asked who was dead.
When the woman saw that it was her grandfather, she started talking at once. It turned out that the son of the Lin family from our village had died, and in an extraordinary way.
There was also a woman who told her grandfather to go to the Lin Clan and have a look. She wanted him to not cause any trouble, otherwise, how could a young man with a healthy body suddenly die?
In the countryside, if there was anything out of the ordinary, everyone would think about ghosts and gods.
After his grandfather heard this, he nodded his head. The group of women no longer discussed and all left. It was likely that they were afraid of getting into some sort of trouble.
After the woman left, my grandfather frowned and said to me, "Let's go to the Lin Clan."
I followed my grandfather to the Lin Clan. The Lin Clan wasn't that far from the village entrance. After walking for a while, my grandfather and I arrived at the Lin Clan.
Just as we reached the entrance of the Lin Family residence, we heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from inside. It seems that something really happened to the Lin Family.
Grandfather and I walked into the Lin family estate. The Lin family courtyard was filled with villagers, and as my grandfather and I squeezed through the crowd, we saw a young man lying on a mat. The young man's complexion had clearly turned green for some time now.
Beside him, a woman was crying loudly. She was Lin Fan's mother.
The young man was called Lin Fan, my relationship with him was also pretty good, I didn't expect him to be dead, and his death looked very scary. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"He was obviously scared to death by something. Xiaofan might have provoked something unclean." An old villager looked at Lin Fan and said.
When Xiaofan's mother heard this, she immediately stopped crying and said to the old man, "Our family's Xiaofan is extremely well-behaved. How could he possibly provoke such a filthy person?"
Lin Fan was indeed a very well-behaved young man in our village, and usually didn't even like going out, so how could he offend any dirty stuff? And seeing Lin Fan's death appearance, he was indeed scared, because in the past, when my grandfather and I took over a life, the dead were also scared to death, and Lin Fan's death was exactly the same as the person who was scared to death.
At the same time, I was also very curious what Lin Fan saw that scared him to death. I secretly glanced at my grandpa, but he was very calm, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Isn't this Master Tang? Can you see how Lin Fan died?" A villager who saw his grandfather asked.
His grandfather shook his head and said to Lin Fan's mother, "Find a willow tree and tie it around your son's right wrist. Your son's eyes and mouth will close."
Lin Fan's mother immediately ran out and quickly brought him a willow branch.
It was now late autumn, and the branches and leaves of the willow tree in Lin Fan's mother's hands were starting to turn yellow. Lin Fan's mother then tied the willow branch onto Lin Fan's upper right wrist.
Lin Fan's mother had just tied the willow branch, but there wasn't much time left when Lin Fan's eyes and mouth closed.
At this moment, the crowd started to boil over. The villagers all looked at my grandfather with admiration. I was made dizzy by the villagers, so what happened to the villagers?
A villager turned to his grandfather and said, "Master Tang, you really are a god. We've tried many different methods and none of them managed to shut Lin Fan's mouth or eyes. Your one sentence is enough."
No wonder they looked at their grandfather with admiration. So this was the reason.
Grandfather waved his hand and pulled me away from Lin Fan's house.
After leaving Lin Fan's house, I asked my grandfather what caused Lin Fan's death.
His grandfather said he wasn't sure, but he found ghost aura in Lin Fan's corpse. Lin Fan's death was definitely related to ghosts.
Then, I asked grandfather why, the villagers thought of many ways to not be able to close Lin Fan's mouth and eyes, just bring the willow branch along.
His grandfather explained that the reason why Lin Fan's eyes and mouth couldn't close was because there was a ghost in Lin Fan's body that was so angry. If a willow tree could absorb ghost energy, then after Lin Fan's ghost energy was absorbed by the willow tree, his eyes and mouth would naturally close.
Then, my grandfather, will he care about this matter with Lin Fan?
Grandfather told me about the meeting and then took me to Zhu Lao Liu's house.
When we got to the Zhu family house, we found the doors of the six houses were closed. I walked over and knocked on the door, but no one opened the door even after waiting for a long time.
"Grandfather, Old Zhu and co. are not at home." Seeing that no one was guarding the door, I turned to speak to my grandfather. However, I was also puzzled in my heart. Where could he go this early in the morning when Old Zhu was not at home?
After his grandfather heard this, he didn't say anything. Instead, he walked in front of Old Zhu's family of six, raised his right hand, and slammed it down at Old Zhu's family of six. With a crack, the door opened.
Grandpa won't come to Old Zhu's house, so I was stunned. How can Grandpa be so strong? He broke all six of Old Zhu's doors locks in one go, and grandpa smashed their doors so early in the morning, is that alright?
I was stunned for a while before I walked into Zhu Lao Liu's house.
As soon as I walked into Zhu Lao Liu's house, I could smell a faint rancid smell.
Grandfather should have also smelled the stench. He was searching for the source of the stench in the courtyard. In the end, Grandfather walked over to Zhu Lao Liu's chicken cage.
I also walked over and found that the chickens from Old Zhu's family of six had all died from the cages. Grandfather grabbed a chicken from the cages and stroked its whiskers. "These chickens starve to death."
Chicken whiskers were the places where chickens stored their food. Chicken feathers and whiskers were flat. It seemed that it had been a long time since a chicken had eaten before it starved to death.
I was even more confused as to why Zhu Lao Liu would starve his family's chickens to death.
