"That young master? Which young master is it?" I asked calmly.
The village chief obviously hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.
I narrowed my eyes slightly and said calmly: "Let me be clear, I may still be able to help you Huaili Village. If you hide it, I don't want to interfere with your affairs here, so as not to cause trouble."
After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall.
The village chief suddenly panicked and stopped me immediately: "Mr. Li, please wait...I..."
He looked particularly struggling, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It's Master Dou...it happened many years ago. The Dou family is powerful, and the heir, Master Dou, died in Huaili Village. It's a good thing they didn't pursue it, otherwise Otherwise, the village would have been finished long ago.”
"What happened back then..."
The village chief sighed and said, "It's all the Li family's fault!"
"If Li Huarong hadn't had an affair with someone, how could the Li family be in ruins, and it wouldn't be difficult for our village to lift its head over the years..."
When I heard the word fornication, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Because my mother was a victim, she was just a powerless woman back then.
I closed my eyes, suppressed my emotions, and motioned to the village chief to continue.
Although my mother's matter has been told through Dong Feng.
But listening to it again, I still felt extremely sad.
During this period, the previous villager had already brought Old Man Li into the ancestral hall. Old Man Li stood aside blankly. His body was trembling but he did not move.
I noticed that his eyes were still on Li Changding's head, but his expression was not the sadness or hatred I expected, but rather a very special kind of complexity.
I was thoughtful.
Soon, the village chief talked about Dou Kaikai.
Generally speaking, what he said was no different from Dong Feng's, except that when it came to Dou Kaifa's drowning in the hanging river, he was more careful than Dong Feng.
Back then, the village chief witnessed the drowning process of Dou Kaifeng!
Dou Kaifeng did not die accidentally, but jumped into the river from the pier while holding a lantern!
At this point, the village chief stamped his feet and sighed: "Master Dou's body didn't make it to the shore in the end. Dong Feng didn't have the ability. The Dou family also invited the man who performed the funeral to pay homage to Master Dou before letting him go." Miss Li went into the water to worship the river god."
When I heard this, I felt that there was a lot of strangeness in it.
And I also noticed that Old Man Li's expression changed.
He turned his head and looked away.
I immediately asked: "Is it the priest who asked the Li family to offer sacrifices to the river god?" Obviously, what I heard from Dong Feng's mouth was that many people came to the door, and finally the Li family said the words of offering sacrifices to the river god.
The reason is because of the Hundred Ghosts Swimming in the River!
But according to the village chief, this matter has changed...
The village chief looked panicked, and finally he said bitterly: "It was said by the Dou family's priest. He also said that if Li Huarong is not allowed to offer sacrifices, Master Dou's soul will remain alive, and there will be hundreds of ghosts in the Xuanhe River."
"But the Dou family wants to keep their face and not let people know about it. They forced Miss Li to die, and they also have to give Master Dou a good reputation. He sacrificed his life for the woman he loved. This is a very good reputation."
"As for the Li family..." The village chief turned to look at Old Man Li and sighed heavily.
"The Li family didn't agree at first, but then the big incident of Hundred Ghosts Touring the River really happened, and there were rumors that it was Miss Li's bad luck, and it was the trigger of all this, and Miss Li must be sacrificed. …”
Old Man Li was facing away from us now. His body seemed to be trembling and he was hunched over.
This news is completely subversive to me!
Although there are only differences in details, the truth of these details shows that my mother was not sent to die by the Li family, but was forced to die? !
My hands shook several times and did not clench into a fist.
After glancing at the ancestral hall again, I walked directly towards the main hall.
I walked into the ancestral hall in three or two steps, and at a glance I saw an extremely large spiritual tablet at the top, with the words: "The spirit of Dou's business!"
I raised my head and looked at the spiritual position with slightly squinted eyes.
He murmured: "The Dou family gave you fame, and they also felt that they had avenged you. They also placed your spiritual tablet here to slowly make the feng shui of Huaili Village worse. Is this considered to comfort you?"
"What a great trick, what a man who does things, a hundred ghosts swim in the river... and he can also move the water ghoul in the hanging river..."
I didn't speak loudly, and the village chief didn't dare to follow me. Perhaps he was afraid that there would be bad luck here.
Old Man Li didn't come over either, so no one could hear my words.
I looked at the spiritual tablet for a long time, and finally let out a heavy breath.
Looking back, I walked out of the ancestral hall. The village chief came to me immediately, with questions and uneasiness in his eyes.
"The Dou family hasn't been here for many years. Not many people know the truth, so I took the hush money. The rest of the villagers, because of what the husband who was a magician said, everyone kept the matter in their stomachs, and Dou The family also provides food for everyone, so no one will say much."
"But how did we know that the Dou family would eventually turn our ancestral hall into a haunted house..."
The village chief said with a sad face, "Mr. Li, you must help."
I pondered for a moment and then said: "It would be useful for me to rebuild the two huts in their original positions and then take down the memorial tablet of Dou Kaikai."
The village chief nodded quickly, and then asked me eagerly, what else should I do?
I told him that I would go into the water at night to see if I could fish out Dou Kaikai’s body and see what happened. Finally, I would take care of the Feng Shui of Huaili Village.
But as long as the two rooms of the ancestral hall are restored, there will generally be no more Feng Shui problems.
Only then did the village chief's eyes show joy.
He whispered: "I will find someone to handle it immediately. Mr. Li, whatever you want to ask Old Man Li, just ask him directly."
He immediately turned his head and called Old Man Li to come over.
Old Man Li then moved his steps and came closer to me.
The village chief gave Old Man Li a few more words, basically to answer my questions well, and the village would help him out when the time came.
Old Man Li hummed, and his expression became much lighter now, as if he was not interested.
The village chief turned around and left in a hurry. I frowned and looked at Old Man Li for a long time.
"It seems you have no feelings for your son anymore." I said thoughtfully.
The corner of Old Man Li's mouth twitched, and he suddenly said: "Mr. Li, do you want to scold me again? You have already added insult to injury. Now that you know what an unfilial son of mine has done, how are you going to orchestrate this old thing like me?"
"I don't know where I offended you."
Old Man Li's voice was still like a broken gong. He opened his eyes and stared at me, with more tiny blood vessels popping out of his eyes!
"No matter where I offended you, you sir have a lot of money, can you let me go?"
"My wife is in very poor health. If I hadn't taken care of her, my life would have been boring. I just jumped into the river without anyone taking care of her!"
