"Don't come here, don't come here!"
I even lost my copper coins, but I still couldn't stop my third uncle from approaching. I was so frightened that my heart kept beating, and I stepped on a stone in a panic.
The stone was loose, so I leaned up and immediately lost my center of gravity and fell down. I thought to myself that it was terrible, and I was probably dead this time.
Despair occupied my brain, I was exhausted, and I had no choice but to close my eyes again.
I really can't run anymore. I can't run anyway, so it would be easier to die here.
I had given up my plan to continue escaping and lay limply on the ground, waiting for my final fate.
But for some unknown reason, my third uncle actually didn’t take action against me.
I lay on the ground motionless, the huge fear still torturing my heart. I felt a chill on the back of my head. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I got up and yelled,
"If you want to kill, just kill, give me a good time, and stop scaring me, okay?"
Surprisingly, the third uncle has disappeared.
Where the pair of dead shoes appeared, there was only a string of black footprints left. The third uncle who originally asked for my life disappeared without a trace, and even the dark wind surrounding me became lighter.
what's the situation?
I was always confused, and I didn’t understand why my third uncle, who had been demanding my life, was kind enough to let me go.
Just when my mind was filled with doubts, another sigh came from behind me, "Oh, what a sin. I didn't expect that Zhoujiagou has become like this in the past few years since I left home."
"Who are you?"
I shuddered and turned around quickly to see a middle-aged man with a stiff face and a black jacket leaning against a tree not far from me, watching the pair of death shoes disappear with complicated and cold eyes. place.
I was stunned.
This man was young, probably in his mid-thirties, with very white skin on his face, as if he had not been exposed to the sun all year round, and his eyes were deep and sharp, like sharp swords, which made me tremble all over. .
I didn't know this person, but he seemed to know me. Our eyes met. He paused for a moment, and then asked my name. Was it Zhou Xuan?
"How do you know my name?"
I was even more surprised and looked at the middle-aged man dully.
His expression was stiff, but his eyes were extremely complicated. After a while, he said, "It's normal that you don't know me. After all, when I ran away from home, your mother had just been abducted to the Zhou family. At that time, not yet, what about you."
"What did you say?!"
I almost jumped up, my expression even duller.
The middle-aged man walked towards me step by step, put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Don't you understand? My name is Zhou Yi. I am your second uncle you have never met. Your father... is my eldest brother."
My head buzzed.
Grandma does have three sons.
The eldest son is my father, and the youngest son is the third uncle who just chased me.
As for my second son, I have never met him and rarely heard of him from my family.
It is said that the three aunts and sixth aunts in the village said that grandma’s second son was very unfilial and had forced grandma to separate the family early. Before I was born, he had already gone to live in another place.
Why come back at this time?
I was confused and froze in place not knowing how to say hello.
The man saw what I was thinking, pursed his lips like razor blades, and suddenly smiled, "It was Grandpa who invited me back."
I opened my mouth in surprise, but I figured it out in an instant. My grandfather had left for a while before, saying that my family was in too much trouble, and he was afraid that I couldn't handle it by myself, so I had to go outside and ask for help.
Unfortunately, when my grandfather went to the place where my helper lived, he found that he was not at home. He was worried that something would happen to me, so he hastily left a letter and rushed back.
So, the "helper" mentioned by the Grand Duke is my second uncle whom I have never met before?
I was so shocked that I didn’t know what to say. My second uncle patted my forehead with his hand and sighed,
"More than ten years have passed, and I didn't expect that my eldest brother's son would be so old. Zhou Xuan, I never appeared at home when you were a child. Did your grandma and others... ever talk about me?"
I hung my head blankly, with a sad look on my face, and sniffed hard, "I told you, but not much."
The second uncle hummed, with a hint of ridicule on his cold face.
"Of course your grandma doesn't want to mention me. In her eyes, I have always been an unfilial child. When your mother was abducted, your father wanted to take her by force. I tried my best to stop it. For this matter, your grandma completely He broke up with me, and that’s when I chose to run away from home.”
Is there such a thing?
I looked at the unfamiliar face of my second uncle in confusion, "Why do you want to stop my father and my mother?"
He took a deep breath and his tone became stern, "Because I can tell at a glance that your mother is not an ordinary woman. The reason why her mind is not clear is because the three souls and seven souls have been damaged. The Zhou family treats her like this." She is committing evil, and once your mother wakes up, the entire Zhou family will be in big trouble!"
After finishing speaking, the second uncle raised his head with a cold expression, looked at the village blocked by thick fog, and sighed numbly,
"It seems that my prediction back then has come true. From the moment I received the letter left by your grandpa, I knew that things would be big, but I still underestimated the seriousness of this disaster... By the way, Where is your great-grandfather, why isn’t he with you?”
When my second uncle asked me this question, I burst into tears again, and choked with sobs, I told what happened.
It turned out that Grandpa had already led me onto the stone bridge, and he was only one step away from coming out with me. If I hadn't been deceived by the ghost of resentment and suddenly broke the Grandpa's law, I wouldn't have harmed him.
I felt extremely regretful, but my second uncle smiled and said, "Don't worry, your grandpa is quite capable. The Hundred Ghost Array can trap him, but it may not be able to hurt him."
After saying that, my second uncle put his hand on my shoulder and said in a serious tone,
"I returned to the village this time at the invitation of Grandpa, specifically to solve this matter. Are you willing to go back with me and find Grandpa together?"
I wiped away my tears, nodded, and said I did.
After so many things, I am no longer as timid as I was at first. After all, Grandpa stayed in the village to help me. What if I ran away alone?
What's more, Zhoujiagou is my home. Where else can I go if I leave the village?
The second uncle was very satisfied with my answer and patted me heavily on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you'll be fine if you stay with me."
After saying that, he took out a black short knife with many small patterns tattooed on it. Without seeing any unnecessary movement from his second uncle, he directly scratched his middle finger with the black knife, smeared the knife surface with blood from the middle finger, and faced the thick fog at the entrance of the village. Crack down hard wherever it floats.
It was a very magical scene. The incoming fog actually dispersed a lot, and the vision was no longer so hazy.
The second uncle grabbed my arm and walked towards the stone bridge again, snorting coldly as he walked,
"Hundred ghosts are surrounding the village, and the Yin soldiers are crossing the border. They are planning to target the entire village. It seems that the disaster in Zhoujiagou is really not small."
I followed the second uncle stupidly, looking at his thin and straight back, I subconsciously felt that my second uncle seemed to have a very special background.
He seemed to be as proficient in Taoist arts as Taigong, especially the black knife in his hand, which made me feel so cold that I couldn't help but shiver just by looking at it.
He was also born to a grandma, so why is the second uncle so powerful?
He saw through my mind, and while leading me onto the stone bridge, he explained, "I have been obsessed with Taoism since I was a child, but your grandma thinks it is not doing my job properly... Oh, let's not talk about it anymore, let's go home and take a look. "
