As soon as I gave the order, the rest of them cheered and surrounded me. Of course, Hao Da didn't do it himself. After all, he was the boss, stroking his beard and watching the fun.
Zhu Er put his hands behind his back, walked over and stretched out his feet to stamp on the ground.
"Hello, is there anyone inside? Please come out."
He was quite polite. At this time, I vaguely heard someone asking.
"Who is it?"
"Check the water meter!"
Zhu Er's words almost made me laugh. It seems that his time in this world has not been in vain. He has learned this sentence?
I don’t know if the ghost in the grave can understand it, but anyway, I saw a shadow floating out of the grave.
I took a closer look and could vaguely see an old man who was almost shabby. He was dressed in rags, with a few goatees on his chin and a shabby hat on his head. He looked almost like a beggar.
This outfit makes him look like an old ghost from the Qing Dynasty.
Looking at the tomb again, it was in tatters and had holes in it. It was quite miserable.
Zhu Er was only responsible for calling people. When I saw that this was not Liu Changcheng, I signaled to Zhu Er and asked him to ask and inquire.
Zhu Er understood and asked the old man if he knew where Liu Changcheng's grave was?
The old man shook his head and said: "I am an old man with coffin flesh. I don't care about the Great Wall and the Yangtze River. I don't know..."
Zhu Er glanced at him with disgust, waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you don't know, just go back and lie down."
The old man said: "Okay..."
He said okay, but he didn't go back. He looked at us, gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, do you have any pocket money to reward two of us? I haven't been to the grave for 70 or 80 years. I'm too poor." Sorry, so pitiful."
Zhu Er touched his body and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't bring any money either."
The old man was a bit of a jerk and ignored Zhu Er. He directly extended his hand to me with a smile on his face.
"Master, please take pity on my old man and reward me with two..."
You might as well say that this guy is always cunning and cunning, but in fact, I really brought money when I came this time.
Of course it's not RMB, it's a bag of nugget gold, packed in a black plastic bag.
Because I know that if I want to go up the mountain to find a ghost, I will definitely disturb a lot of old ghosts in various graves. After all, it is easy to do things with some money.
But this old man doesn't know anything and just wants to defraud me of my gold. There is no way.
I rolled my eyes and said to him: "I can give you two dollars, but you have to provide some clues. I want to find a man named Liu Changcheng in Tianheng Mountain. Is there anything you can tell me?"
The old man blinked and said: "Liu Changcheng... I really don't know. There are too many wild graves here. I only know the people on the nearby hillside, but I don't know each other's names."
I asked in confusion: "Since we know each other, why don't we know the name yet?"
The old man said: "Dead people don't need names of living people. If you don't know each other and don't erect a monument, then only you will know."
I suddenly realized that Uncle Ma once said that people no longer use their names when they are alive. Although I know what my name is when I am alive, I generally do not use this name to communicate with people, and ghosts do not communicate with each other. I won’t mention it.
In fact, I have always been skeptical about this statement, because basically all the ghosts I have come into contact with have told me their names.
But listening to what the old man said, it seemed that Uncle Ma was right. If they didn't have anything to ask for help from, it would be impossible to sign up with them.
Therefore, this mountain full of tombs, no one knows what they are called, so the difficulty is even greater.
I asked again: "Since you don't know his name, is there anyone who drowned at the age of 17 or 18? He has probably been dead for about 30 years. Think about it?"
The old man looked around and said with a troubled expression: "Oh, this is a bit difficult. I am getting old and can't remember it for a moment. As you know, if this person dies and there is no one to worship him, his soul will be gone." It will slowly become blurry and eventually disappear. I suspect that I will soon be there now, so I have almost forgotten many things. Alas, there is nothing I can do about it. There is no one to offer sacrifices to me. I am so sorry that I have no children..."
What the old man was talking about was obviously for us. What he actually meant was that he wanted some money. If you gave him two dollars, maybe he would be able to remember.
Jian Si, who had been silent next to him, became impatient and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense to him. This mountain is full of graves. He doesn't know that maybe others know about it. Old man, go back to your grave and stay there."
This fourth brother Jian is dressed as a knight with a sword on his back, his eyes are like lightning, and although he doesn't speak much, what he says makes people dare not disobey him.
The old man didn't dare to be nagging. When he saw that no money had been extorted, he hurriedly bowed to us. Then he sighed, looked at me with a pitiful expression, turned around and walked back to the broken grave.
I finally relented, so I took out a gold nugget and lit it on the old man's grave.
Anyway, I brought a big bag with me, so it’s nothing to give him one, just treat it as relief for the poor.
"Old man, you have no children and have been alone on this mountain for many years. I feel sorry for you. I will burn a piece of gold for you. You can take it."
After saying this, the dog-headed Vajra was burned out and slowly turned into ashes.
At this time, I vaguely saw a dry hand stretching out from the hole in the tomb, grabbing the gold nugget very quickly, and then retracted it with a swish.
Then a voice came through my mind: "This young man is kind-hearted and will be blessed. The old man wishes you hundreds of houses, thousands of hectares of fertile land, many wives and concubines, and great wealth... Thank you..."
I couldn't help but chuckle, this blessing sounded quite pleasant to my ears, but it doesn't matter if I have a group of wives and concubines, the country won't allow it...
After struggling with the old man for a long time, Fourth Brother Jian was already impatient. He walked to another grave a few dozen meters away, took out his sword and patted the grave.
"What's inside, come out!"
He was not as gentle as Zhu Er, but after he finished shouting, a head emerged from the grave. He was a man in his forties, with two eyes, one big and one small, with a slight squint, looking at us stupidly.
"Gaha?"
He spoke these three words extremely slowly, while Jian Si spoke more crisply. He knelt down and asked: "The undercover police are handling the case. Please cooperate. Is there a ghost named Liu Changcheng nearby? He drowned and died at the age of eighteen. It’s been thirty years, do you know?”
The man stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said lazily: "Sister, I've heard of it. I've seen a lot of ghosts around here, old and young. It seems like they haven't drowned..."
Jian Si nodded: "Okay, if you don't know, just go back."
He said, pressing the man's head with his hands and pushing him back into the grave.
Next to him, Qin San also came to another grave. He was more civilized. He squatted down and knocked on the grave with his hands, and said, "Is there anyone at home?"
This time, another man came out of the grave. He was about fifty years old. He had his hands in his sleeves and looked at us blankly.
Qin San asked Liu Changcheng again, but the ghost didn't seem to understand what he said. He was a bit stupid and didn't know the answer. He scratched the back of his head with one hand, his face full of confusion.
Hao laughed and said: "Okay, don't ask him. He is a fool. It's too slow to ask him. It's better to shout them all."
As he spoke, he walked to the middle of the hillside, stamped his feet on the ground, and shouted loudly.
"Hades sent officials to the local area to handle the case. Anyone who hears this from the Yin spirits under this tomb should show up quickly!"
