"Huangpizi!?"
I couldn't help but exclaimed, I couldn't figure out how a living person could give birth to such a thing as yellow skin.
The old man then told me that that night, Li Dashan named the yellow-skinned child born to his wife here Li Yingying.
It was on this night that ghosts began to cry and howl in the mountains. Yellow skins all over the mountains and plains rushed into Li Dashan's house and bit them all to death.
Since then, people in the village can often see the dead Li Dashan and his family still alive.
But everyone knows in their hearts that this is because their family's resentment has not been eliminated, so they cannot be reincarnated and are still left in the world of the world.
At this point, everything is clear, but it seems that there is still something that is not understood.
The old man told me everything he knew.
They even kindly invited me to stay at home today.
And I agreed without hesitation. After all, it is really difficult to find a place to live in this mountain.
After the chat, the old man walked back to the house tiredly to rest. His son enthusiastically went to the kitchen to cook and prepared to treat us well.
Xia Rou and I started chatting in the room.
She sat cross-legged on the bed with bare feet, looked at me with round eyes, and asked in a doubtful tone, "Lu Ming, do you think what they said is true?"
"True or false, false or false, only they know. What's more... things have reached this point. It doesn't matter if it's true or false. No one goes back to investigate anyway." I smiled bitterly. , said helplessly.
Xia Rou was silent for a few seconds and said, "Shouldn't we also investigate this matter?"
I paused and shook my head, "No investigation. We are here to investigate Yingying's matter. As for Li Dashan's matter... it has nothing to do with us."
After living for so many years, I know well that I can't meddle in other people's business.
Li Dashan provoked Huang Pizi, which led to the loss of his whole family, including Li Yingying.
And if I rashly intervene in this matter, I might provoke them. It would be fine if I were in other places, but now I am in the north, not to mention that I have Xia Rou by my side. Once something goes wrong, I am afraid it will be easy. Come up with something else.
I didn't stay in the house for long.
The old man told us to eat.
Naturally, Xia Rou and I were happily prepared to have a hot meal. In order to come to Li Yingying's hometown, we were very tired from the long journey.
But when we got to the dinner table, Xia Rou and I were stunned.
because......
Not only was the old man and his son, who was in his fifties or sixties, at the dinner table, there was also Li Dashan!
Li Dashan! ?
I suddenly took a breath when I saw him sitting steadily at the table with a wine glass in his hand, happily drinking with the old man next to him.
A chill could not help but rise from the soles of my feet and crawl directly to the back of my head.
"thump!"
I hesitated for a long time without being able to sit down, and finally the old man pushed me down on the stool.
He glanced at me and said deliberately, "Sit down and eat quickly. Eat early and rest early!"
The old man's tone of voice was relaxed with a hint of undoubted seriousness.
This also made me more nervous.
Although I didn't understand what he was going to do, what was going on with all this, or even why Li Dashan, who had died long ago, appeared here again, I gritted my teeth and prepared to cooperate with him to get through this first.
"Eat, eat, I'm almost starving today."
I said casually, buried my head in my hands, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and got ready to eat.
But before the rice reached her mouth, she heard Xia Rou next to her say, "Uncle, what do you call me?"
She is talking to Li Dashan! !
My heart trembled, and then I remembered that Xia Rou had never met Li Dashan, and the two of them didn't know each other at all.
This is going to be a big deal.
As soon as Xia Rou's words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the old man and his son. They both raised their heads sharply, glanced at me in shock, and then stared at Xia Rou, hoping that she would stop talking nonsense.
The oppressive force of this situation is no less than that of going to a brothel and being knocked on the door by the police, but you are about to set up a trap!
At this time, Li Dashan said with a smile, "Daughter, my name is Li Dashan, I am the hunter in this village, and this old man is my master."
"Crack!"
Xia Rou's hands shook and her chopsticks fell to the ground.
Li Dashan next to him frowned and stared at Xia Rou's horrified face.
Xia Rou immediately cast a look at me asking for help. When I saw this, I quickly stood up to smooth things over and pushed Xia Rou to the chair next to me. I sat next to Li Dashan.
Picking up a glass of wine from the table, I greeted Li Dashan cheerfully, "Long time no see, Uncle Li!"
"Have we... met?"
What Li Dashan said was completely beyond my expectation.
I was stunned and a little confused. Logically speaking, he should know me. After all, he was the one who entrusted Li Yingying to me.
Why now...
I turned around and glanced at the old man next to me, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile, "We should have met before. When I came to the village two years ago, I saw you once from a distance, but you were busy at the time. , didn’t notice me.”
"Oh, that's it. I'm so sorry, young man." Li Dashan took a sip from his wine glass and apologized again and again.
I just breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don’t know why the other party doesn’t recognize me, if he doesn’t recognize me, it will make it easier for me to fool him.
At this time, the old man reached out and poked me, and said with a smile, "Boy, let's go to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks. Your wife has lost her chopsticks, and she doesn't know how to help replace them with a pair."
I knew that this was him looking for an opportunity to ask me to leave here and prepare to say something, so I quickly agreed.
"Okay uncle, let's go!"
Get up, go out, and trot to the kitchen, all in one go.
Before I could stand still, the old man held my shoulders with a serious face and said in a very serious tone, "Boy, Li Dashan is here again tonight, we must find a way to send him away, otherwise we may be in danger! "
"What...what do you mean?" I was confused.
Taking the literal meaning of his words, doesn't it mean that this is not the first time that Li Dashan, who has been dead for a long time, has come here.
How could a lonely ghost still learn to visit people after he died?
The old man nodded and said seriously, "Since he died, he would appear in the village every once in a while, but who knew that this time he would appear directly at the dinner table at home. The two of us must cooperate. Otherwise, there is no hope of living.”
I nodded quickly, took out a bunch of talismans from my pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand, and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I'm just here to deal with these things. You take these talismans first, and then you can look at me and do it." .”
