As soon as the servant finished speaking, my expression changed.
I thought of the time when I went to the Li family mansion.
At that time, Dong Feng told me that there was a group of people digging graves in Hongsong County, specializing in stealing female corpses, young and fresh female corpses!
Dong Feng also suspected that the paper man Xu might be digging graves and stealing corpse skins!
At that time, I was afraid that they would find my mother, but later I made a talisman contract with my mother, so I ignored them and left directly.
Theft of female corpses is rare, so it’s hard to be a coincidence, especially when it happened to me...
I squinted my eyes slightly, thinking deeply.
Zhu Xie asked cautiously: "Mr. Li, do you know this group of people?"
Obviously, Zhu Xie watched my words and saw the change in my complexion.
I was silent for a moment and nodded.
My eyes fell on Zhou Xingzu, and I said, "Master Zhou, let me go with you."
I have to take care of the Zhou family's affairs. Their graves were dug up and their bodies stolen. This matter cannot be solved by simply filling the graves. The bodies must be recovered.
This situation cannot be solved simply by relying on my guidance to the Zhou family.
Zhou Xingzu's eyes showed ecstasy!
He stood tremblingly and immediately made a gesture of invitation, gesturing for me to get on the carriage.
I didn't go up immediately, but went back to Dixiang Lu to pick up some items, including all the things about Dixiang Kanyu, as well as the copper piece on which I carved the Liufu Talisman.
During this time, I also carved some talismans, in addition to the Liufu talisman, the town object talisman, and some other talismans and seals.
I did not learn Xu Sanbi's talismans, but the talismans recorded in the Zhajing.
When I got on the carriage, I told Zhu Xie to inform my second uncle and the others that I was leaving, but Zhu Xie said he wanted to go with me.
In this regard, Zhu Xie's explanation is that most of the people who dig graves are ruthless. People like Pan Yu and others are looking for wealth, which is relatively normal.
This kind of person who specializes in digging up female corpses must have some special purpose or even a hobby!
If you meet someone, you will definitely be put to death on the spot. If you only think about vicious people, you will definitely not be merciful.
He has to be by my side to protect me! To prevent me from having an accident!
I frowned, what Zhu Xie said was actually quite reasonable.
After a moment of silence, I nodded and asked Zhu Xie to get on the carriage together.
I drove to the new house first, and I went to talk to He Zhi and my second uncle about the situation.
He Zhi obviously wanted to go with me, so I asked her to stay in Tang Town to prepare for the situation.
My second uncle solemnly told me that after this matter is done, I will quickly choose a date to get married when I come back!
I nodded repeatedly.
After that, we left Tang Town.
I was in a hurry to communicate with Zhou Xingzu, but I didn't eat dinner. Zhu Xing took out a piece of dry food, and I ate it with water.
The distance between Tang Town and Hongyuan County is not very close. We set off at about nine o'clock and didn't arrive at Hongyuan County until about two o'clock in the morning.
The Zhou family's house in the county town is actually a bungalow similar to the Huo family's new house.
The brick courtyard wall must be two meters high, and the upper half has a bar made of iron mesh and twisted thorns.
As soon as we got off the bus, I saw something was wrong.
There were two white lanterns hung at both ends of the courtyard, which looked particularly desolate.
Zhou Xingzu's expression changed, and he almost lost his footing. It was the coachman who helped him, but he was able to stand on his feet.
We entered the courtyard, and there was a strong smell of incense candles wafting through the courtyard.
The door of the foreign-style building was half open, and the situation inside could not be clearly seen, but there was a slight sound of sobbing, and the atmosphere of sadness was stronger.
But I already knew what happened, and while frowning, I sighed and shook my head.
Zhou Xingzu pushed the coachman away and stumbled over to open the door.
After Zhu Xie and I followed, Zhou Xingzu had already walked into the house tremblingly and collapsed on the ground.
Many things in the house had been cleared to both sides. A dark coffin was placed on several benches, and the coffin was smeared with gray-white lime.
In front of the coffin is a brazier, with several female family members kneeling next to them burning paper. Right above the coffin is a slightly thick piece of paper, with a lifelike person on it.
The young man looked very similar to Zhou Xingzu.
I knew what it was. People in the village had taken pictures in the city before, but most of the villagers felt that the thing was so haunting that it emits a burst of smoke and imprinted people on the paper.
My dad told me that foreigners call these things photos. When they go out to do business, the rich owners will get one and use it as a posthumous photo.
Zhou Xingzu sat dumbly for a long time, but he didn't cry, and he stood up on his own.
"Mr. Li, I'll take you upstairs to rest first, and I'll take you to see the ancestral graves tomorrow." Zhou Xingzu's lips were obviously trembling, and he was holding back the pain.
"My condolences." I can only console you with these words.
On the second floor of the foreign-style building, Zhu Xie and I were assigned separate rooms, and there were servants waiting in front of the door.
Zhou Xingzu ordered his servants to handle any requests we have immediately, and then he left.
The room in this western-style house is different from where I usually live. There is a square cabinet against the wall. There is a white square bed in the center with no bed curtains or bamboo poles. On the other side of the bed is a On the empty platform, you can see the street beyond.
There are raised half walls on either side of the platform where there are curtains that can be drawn.
I looked at it a few more times and thought about it for a while. This kind of house is different from the normal Yangzhai. The views on Feng Shui are naturally different, which is quite novel to me.
Especially the light source in the room is the same gas lamp as in the foreign hospital.
The light source inside the lampshade is stable and will not be blown out by the wind at all.
I was also sleepy, so I closed the curtain and went to bed to rest.
When I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely heard the sounds of crying. Some were from women, and some were from Zhou Xingzu.
I cannot sympathize with the despair of losing a child in middle age, and I understand a lot about it, but this is also the fate of the Zhou family.
The sleepiness became heavier and heavier, and I fell into a deep sleep.
But when I slept until midnight, I felt that the room was quite cold.
I even heard a slight hissing sound in my ears!
I was too tired at first, so I didn't care, but fell into a deep sleep.
I also dreamed that the man in the photo kept kowtowing to me. He said that he died unjustly and that he didn’t want to die. Could you please save him?
I don’t know how long I slept, but I finally woke up.
Before I even opened my eyes, I felt a chill, as if something was staring at me!
Goosebumps and cold sweat suddenly appeared on my body.
I opened my eyes suddenly and turned my head to look in the direction from which the coldness came.
What looked at me was an extremely pale, dead face.
He lay next to me and turned his head just enough to look at me.
In the wide-open eyes, there were only dark pupils, and the whites of the eyes could hardly be seen.
The cold breath hit my face. Even though I had seen many vicious corpses, I was frightened to the point of sweating!
