Li Xiangliang is back, in every sense of the word.
A person who was already dead, who should have been slowly forgotten as time went by, has returned to everyone's sight.
Of course, if he is not a human being, he is not that capable yet.
It's just that the ghost lingers and comes back to become a monster.
First, there was a noise outside the room at night, which disturbed Li Zhen and Wang Ying who were sleeping.
They subconsciously thought their home had been robbed.
After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in rural areas.
Li Zhen carefully pulled out a steel pipe from under the bed, told Wang Ying to close the door, tiptoed out of the living room, and turned on all the lights.
As soon as the light came on, the sound stopped immediately.
I saw that the door of the room where the old man lived had been closed before, but now it was open.
Suddenly he shouted sharply: "Who's in there? Come out!"
no response.
Li Zhen clenched the steel pipe in his hand, a little nervous: "I'll count to three, if you don't come out I'll call the police!"
Still no response.
Although Li Zhen was usually timid and honest, the idea of protecting his family took over at this moment. He carefully pushed open the door with a steel pipe from a distance and turned on the light, only to find that there was no one inside.
At that moment, Li Zhen's scalp was numb and his hair stood on end.
To explain, after the old man passed away, he sorted out his things, threw away everything that needed to be thrown away, and burned everything that needed to be burned. The only thing left in the room was an old-fashioned hardwood bed and a small chest of drawers. The wooden bed had no bed boards, and the original bamboo rafters were burned by him.
Therefore, neither of these can hide people.
As for escaping through the window, that's even more impossible. The windows on the first floor in rural areas are all old-fashioned cement frames with anti-theft nets, and even children cannot get out.
So, what was causing the noise in the room just now?
The more Li Zhen thought about it, the more frightened he became. He would rather have his family be robbed.
That night, all the lights in the house were on and I didn't dare to turn them off.
Li Zhen did not dare to tell Wang Ying his guess. He just said to turn on the light so that the thief would not dare to come back.
…
the next day,
Li Zhen was supposed to go to work, so he took an extra day off and went to talk to his fifth uncle about what happened last night and his guess.
The fifth uncle, Li Xixiang, is currently the oldest and most prestigious elder in Xieji Village.
Having an elder in a clan is like having a treasure. If everyone has something they don’t understand, they will ask his opinion.
as expected,
After hearing this, Li Xixiang pondered for a long time and said, "This person hasn't been sent away yet."
"Fifth Uncle, what should I do?" Li Zhen asked.
Li Xixiang smoked a hookah and muttered: "Generally speaking, after a person dies, he should go to the underworld to report. It is not a good thing to stay in the human world forcibly. And once he stays, it means that he has unfulfilled wishes. Your father had Is there anything in particular you’re talking about?”
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "You should know what my father is like. No matter what I do, he is not satisfied. He doesn't expect anything other than beatings and scoldings, let alone talking about my heart. If you want to talk about it, it's probably the same. Talking about my cousins."
"That's right." Li Xixiang sighed.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Li Zhen was a hard-luck child. It was just his family's business. When Li Xiangliang was still alive, he couldn't say much.
I didn’t expect that people would come back to cause trouble even after they died.
Aren't you doing something evil?
Li Xixiang was very unhappy and said, "Go and call Maoliang, Qingliang, and Fuliang. Let's discuss it. We'll go to your house first to persuade him to leave."
The names he mentioned were all leaders with the surname Li in several houses in the village, or village cadres.
"Thank you, fifth uncle!"
Li Zhen nodded hurriedly and ran to invite someone.
…
Soon, several elders came over.
When they heard Li Xixiang say that Li Xiangliang had not completely sent him away, they were all a little frightened.
Of course, it’s not that I’m afraid, it’s just that I’m a little taboo subconsciously.
After all, people have different paths.
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in rural areas. Usually, you ask someone, and then you persuade them with good words, and you are moved by reason, and they promise to give you more money and clothes later, so you don't have to worry about having a bad life down there.
There are a lot of people now, and with the fifth uncle taking the lead, everyone is not so afraid. After a brief discussion, they were ready to go to Li Zhen's house.
At this moment, Li Zhen's phone rang.
It was his third uncle who called: "A Zhen, come back quickly, your wife seems to be crazy."
On the other end of the phone, the second uncle sounded panicked, and a woman's voice was heard yelling.
Li Zhen suddenly panicked.
Everyone looked at each other, and without further ado, hurried over to take a look.
…
At Li Zhen's house, he could see a group of people surrounding him from a distance.
However, most of them didn't dare to get too close and just watched the excitement from a distance.
In the middle of the crowd, Li Zhen and his wife Wang Ying were sitting on the floor, crying and fussing, saying things like, "If you have a wife, you don't want your father," and "If I had known he would give birth to a white-eyed ghost, I would have strangled him to death." .
What was frightening was that what came out of her throat was the voice of an old man. If I heard it right, it was the voice of the dead Li Xiangliang.
Even the tone of voice is exactly the same.
The onlookers felt as if they were all cold in the summer, their hair stood on end, and they had all kinds of goosebumps.
"Oh my god, it's a trap. Did you see it? It must be a trap!"
"Li Zhen's father is dead and he still comes back to harm others. It's really terrible."
"Hey, it's too scary. I dare not watch it. I'll have nightmares when I sleep tonight."
"Children, please cover your ears. Don't run away and don't listen!"
"If you ask me, Li Zhen is such a deadbeat dad, he really didn't practice cultivation in his previous life!"
"In the end, it's his father who has a brain problem. He doesn't care for his own children but cares for his brother and his brother's family. This is something that no one can bear. Only Li Zhen can tolerate it."
"..."
Li Zhen hurried back and saw this scene. His heart was chilled and he couldn't bear it anymore. Anger arose in his heart and he roared: "Enough! How long will you continue to make trouble? You are making trouble while you are alive, but you are not safe even if you are dead. Are you still alive and want to come back to make trouble? What do you want? Do you want me to die with you before you let me go?!"
The honest man was oppressed to the extreme and finally broke out.
Go up and give him a loud slap in the face.
"Wang Ying" was a little confused after being beaten, and then howled: "Did you see it? Did you see it? What is this if it's not a white-eyed ghost? Have you wanted to hit me for a long time? Come on! Hit me again? Zai? If you beat me, you can beat me to death..."
Li Zhen was so angry that he was shaking all over.
When the onlookers heard this, they all looked disgusted.
Can you say this?
We don’t know who you were before your death?
We don’t know who your son is?
It's outrageous that a human being can do what you do!
Even if he died, he would come back and make the house uneasy. If he had known this, why would he be buried? He could just burn his ashes and scatter them in Jianjiang River.
The fifth uncle came over with a cane, raised the cane and hit "Wang Ying". While beating him, he scolded: "Originally, I shouldn't be involved in your own family affairs, but you went too far today. As a Li Elder surnamed Li, I must teach you a lesson and not let you ruin the reputation of our surnamed Li!"
After all, he was too old. After a few blows, he was out of breath. Others quickly came up to support him to avoid accidents.
"Tie her up with a rope!"
The fifth uncle took a breath, shouted angrily, and then said to the village cadre Li Qingliang: "Call the fortune teller in Liantang, tell him clearly, and ask him to come and help."
Li Qingliang nodded quickly and took out his mobile phone to look through his address book.
The so-called fortune teller is the Duan Gong magician in their area. He is the kind of capable person. If anything happens, villages within ten miles will come to him for help.
"Wang Ying" was so strong that three people worked together to pin her down on the chair and tied her with a rope so that she could not move. However, she still struggled and screamed desperately.
Li Zhen simply found a rag and stuffed her mouth.
…
Zhang Tieqiang received the call and hurried over with the guy.
By the time his lineage reached him, there wasn't much real ability left.
Fortunately, he caught up with the good times, and the country launched a literacy campaign. He learned a lot of words from the old gentleman. He began to read various books on his own, researching and verifying, and made up for a lot of lost things.
In the past, the inheritance would be discontinued, mostly because those who learned this profession were from poor families and did not know how to read.
Of course, he knew that his abilities were limited, so when someone from the government came to recruit him, he refused after a brief consideration.
When his master accepted him, he said that he could only work in the countryside for the rest of his life. He was not convinced. After completing his studies, he did not know what the world was like. He went to the city for a few years and almost lost his life. I have become much more honest after I came back. Now that I think about it, there is nothing wrong with living in the countryside, so I have taken root in Liantang.
Zhang Tieqiang came to Li Zhen's house and briefly greeted everyone.
"Master Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you!" Li Xixiang said.
Zhang Tieqiang didn't have any airs, and he couldn't be rude in front of such an old man. He quickly said: "I will give my best!"
He looked at "Wang Ying" who was tied to the chair, frowned slightly, and then said to the people around him: "Please leave other unrelated people first and leave two or three relatives behind."
So Li Zhen, his uncle and third uncle stayed, and the others left the house.
at this time,
Suddenly a car came outside the door, and three men got out of the car.
Zhang Tieqiang was surprised, then he smiled sheepishly and said: "Captain Cao, I'm sorry, I'm here to do this first. If I can't figure it out, I'll help you."
The visitors were none other than Cao Yanhua and Jiang Hongbin from the Gaoliang Bureau, as well as Jiang Hang, a C-level trickster.
Following the instructions of Director Du Hao, they came to Panzhou a few days ago to take charge. After all, if there was a problem in Douzhou, it would be faster to leave from Panzhou than from Gaoliang.
After receiving the mission reminder this time, I rushed over as soon as possible.
In fact, it's not something serious, it's just a small C-level, mainly to bring in new people and get familiar with the environment.
When Cao Yanhua saw Zhang Tieqiang, he was also slightly startled. He didn't expect that the other party was here.
He patted his head and said with a smile: "Okay, you go about your business first and just pretend we don't exist."
"Okay." Zhang Tieqiang responded with a smile, showing his big yellow teeth that were used to smoking hookahs.
The people standing outside the door looked at Cao Yanhua and the three of them curiously, guessing who they were. They were obviously young, but even people like Zhang Tieqiang had to be polite to them.
…
inside the house.
After Zhang Tieqiang closed the door, he began to arrange the altar.
