Wu Sheng's mood was like a bolt from the blue. So many things had happened in just two hours, which he couldn't accept for a while.
But Wu Xinggu's next words hit Wu Sheng's heart again.
"And your Uncle Chen..." Wu Xinglu was so frightened that his eyes were dull and his words were a little awkward: "He died... as early as two months ago!"
A bolt of lightning fell at this moment, Wu Sheng couldn't hold himself any longer, and slumped on the ground like his father.
Looking around subconsciously, he always felt that after his father finished speaking these words, there was a pair of eyes staring at him secretly.
"No, no, it could be your Uncle Chen. They are twins." Wu Xinggu stood up tremblingly.
"You are the only child in our family. We can't let you die at such a young age." Wu Xinggu took Wu Sheng and went into the house to look for things.
"Your grandfather left a jar before his death, saying it could save his life." Wu Xinggu kept rummaging through the box, and soon found a black jar that was a little bigger than his fist.
There are several yellow talismans stuck on the lid, just like the ones shown on TV, they are red talismans drawn with cinnabar.
"Now you hold it tightly! No matter what happens, don't let go!" Wu Xinggu stood up and left: "I'm going to find your grandfather, the village chief. When he was young, he traveled all over the country and saw a lot."
Wu Sheng took the jar and hugged it tightly according to his father's words, not daring to let go for a moment.
"Go to bed quickly! Turn over the quilt and cover your head! You can't leave until I come back!" Wu Xinggu's voice gradually faded away.
After Wu Sheng got into the quilt, he huddled up together and trembled non-stop.
But at this time, the jar in his arms gave him a very strange feeling. It was as if the jar was heating up, making Wu Sheng's belly very warm.
I don't know how much time passed like this, but there were bursts of footsteps outside the door.
"Come out, Xiao Sheng." Wu Xinggu's voice was very depressed and lifeless.
When Wu Sheng heard his father's voice, he lifted the quilt and sat up.
"Dad, why didn't the village chief come with you?" Wu Sheng asked timidly when he saw that only his father was back.
"Village chief...Grandpa?" Wu Xinggu muttered in a low voice.
Wu Sheng didn't hear the sound, but saw his mouth move slightly.
Wu Xinggu sighed, looking helpless: "Oh, he's not at home today..."
"Then what should I do?" Wu Sheng's brows almost knitted into a knot. This is a matter related to his life.
Wu Xinggu also had a sad look on his face: "Put the jar down first. Holding it like this is not an option. Let's think about a solution..."
After he finished speaking, he stared at the jar in Wu Sheng's arms.
"Dad, I'm so cold now. I just feel like there's heat escaping from the jar." Wu Sheng looked at the jar in his arms: "I want to hold it for a while longer."
"Is there heat escaping?" Wu Xinggu looked at it again in confusion, and then said, "Is there something wrong? Let me see quickly."
Wu Sheng nodded, then stretched out the jar and handed it to his father, but at this moment, Wu Sheng suddenly noticed something strange.
Suddenly there was a flash of lightning, which instantly lit up the room, but there was no shadow of my father!
Lightning from this angle could directly hit me and my father. Why did I have it? And he doesn’t have a father?
Wu Sheng's hair suddenly stood up, and he quickly retracted his hand.
When Wu Sheng was a child, he often heard the old man say that people pretending to be ghosts have no shadows! And the father in front of him now has no shadow!
"Xiao Sheng?" Wu Xinggu asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"You're not dad!" Wu Sheng felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest and he couldn't breathe.
Wu Xinggu listened happily and raised the corners of his mouth quietly: "Am I not your father?"
"Then who is your father!!!" When he said this, his voice suddenly became harsh, as if he was stimulated.
Then his face began to change, twisting and turning into a face made of paper! The kernels in the eyes are dotted with blood! !
He is laughing! A pale face smiled ferociously at Wu Sheng!
Wu Sheng got into the quilt with a cry, and then he felt a pair of hands groping on the quilt.
He touched it, then took it back, and then touched it again! It goes on like this.
Gradually, his movements became lighter and lighter, and his hands also stopped moving...
But what followed was the sound of bottles and cans breaking in the house! !
And irregular footsteps, very close at one moment and very far away at the next, sounding very urgent.
Wu Sheng was so frightened that he shed tears. He hid under the quilt and whined non-stop.
"Xiao Sheng!" After an unknown amount of time, Wu Xinggu anxiously lifted off the quilt and hugged him. Behind Wu Xinggu was an old man with a nervous face.
That is the village chief.
"What's wrong with you? What happened just now?"
After his father left, Wu Sheng tremblingly recounted everything that had just happened from beginning to end...
"So quick?" The village chief took a breath and glanced around: "I didn't expect that the paper puppet show couldn't quell her grievances. It seems that she is eyeing your Xiaosheng, and she also brought those paper puppets with her. ."
"Don't worry, Liangzi and the others will be here soon with their things." The village chief sat down on the bed: "The three of us will sit here and wait."
"There are many of us, and our yang energy is strong. I don't believe those things dare to come back?!" Although the village chief said this, his body was trembling non-stop.
After Wu Xinggu looked at the village chief, he also sat on the bed, and then he hugged Wu Sheng tightly in his arms.
In this way, the three people cuddled together. After a while, the dull footsteps and breathing sounds of several people could be heard outside.
There are also some cluttered sounds like crowing of chickens and barking of dogs.
"It's Liangzi! They're here!" The village chief's voice was now confident when he spoke, and he immediately pulled the father and son out of the door.
But the next scene made the father and son dumbfounded.
Ryoko and three people came over carrying a black coffin! Moreover, some of them were holding a big red-crowned rooster in their hands, while others were holding a big black wolfdog!
But the strangest thing is that after they all entered the yard, the barking and crowing sounds became obviously louder, and they kept calling around!
When Liangzi and the others dropped the coffin in the center of the yard, the village chief spoke.
"Tell Xiao Sheng to quickly carry the jar into the coffin! Hurry!!"
