"Um?"
Su Xin was slightly startled, but he didn't expect that the village chief also knew something inside.
"My old sister and I have always had a good relationship. She also likes to tell me some things, but the thing she said more than ten years ago has been pressed in my heart. I want to forget it but I can't forget it. It always feels like a root. Like a thorn."
The sigh of the village chief resounded in this dimly lit little house, carrying the smell of the past.
More than ten years ago, the village head was still in his prime. On that day, Grandma Tong came to his house in a panic and told him something with a scared expression.
"Brother, let me tell you, my son... my son... has come back from the dead."
At that time, Grandma Tong was still a normal person with clear thinking, no dementia, and good eyesight.
"Old sister, what are you talking nonsense about? How is this possible? Besides, even if that kid is seriously ill, he didn't die."
The village chief was smoking a cigarette with a puzzled expression on his face.
Tongxi's boy is not good at a young age, but his head is very smart, he is a material for reading, and he is also the baby root of Grandma Tong.
"Brother, how could I not know about my son? I saw him not breathing with my own eyes. I was absolutely right, but before I got out of the room, he came back to life, but it wasn't my son who came back to life. I don’t know what kind of mess it is, I dare not say it, my old man has already left, and it’s useless to tell my eldest son and daughter-in-law.”
Grandma Tong was trembling, with a helpless expression on her face.
"Don't panic, stay with him for a few days to see what's going on. If it's really dirty, don't mess with him. You go to the Yunniangniang Temple to worship and see if it's okay."
The village chief gave her an idea. He could see his old sister's anxiety. This was definitely not a joke.
"I don't know if what I told her worked, but after a few days, she came to me again."
The village chief coughed twice and continued to talk about the events of the year.
A few days later, Grandma Tong came to look for him again in a hurry.
"Look, brother."
It was the jade pendant worn by Grandma Tong around her neck all the year round. It was a statue of Buddha with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Grandma Tong believed in Buddhism since she was a child. Her parents begged her for it in the temple. She wore it from childhood to adulthood until she married and had children. It has not been taken down, but now the jade pendant is broken, not incomplete, but cracks appear on the surface of the Buddha statue, which looks ominous.
Broken jade cannot be worn. Legend has it that jade is a psychic thing that can protect humans from disasters. But after a disaster, the jade will be broken or cracked. After that, it can no longer be worn on the body, because it may attract evil spirits. .
"What happened?"
"Brother, I'm afraid something is going to happen to our family. My daughter-in-law is probably bewitched. He didn't like my little son before, and even wanted to drive my little son out, but she actually steamed my little son today. A bowl of custard, talking very angry, I didn't come here to ask you to help me, I just wanted you to stay away from my little son, I'm afraid it's really a dirty thing, my son may have died."
"Old sister, tell me if you did something, otherwise your jade will be broken."
After hearing what Grandma Tong said, the village chief's brow creases deepened.
"Did Grandma Tong really do something?"
Su Xin asked.
"She was impulsive when she was young, and she didn't change it even when she was old, and she didn't discuss it with anyone, so she did that thing."
The village chief spoke out of breath, looking tired.
Grandma Tong said she wanted to cut her son's hair that day, so she took a pair of scissors and went to her son's room. The hair was not cut, but she put the scissors on Tong Xi's neck, asking him to cut his hair. His son is back.
After that, the jade was broken.
"My old sister went back not long ago. I went to see her again in two days. She was already in a daze and couldn't speak clearly."
The village feels sorry for what happened to its old sister. It is even more sad to hear the current situation of Tonghe's family. This is the bad luck of several lifetimes. It's not an exaggeration to destroy your home.
Su Xin didn't know that there was such an old story. In this way, maybe Tong He's family's affairs could be explained, but it was still wrong.
If Tong Xi was resurrecting the dead, why would Yang Cui suddenly change his attitude, and what kind of retribution Tong He was talking about.
"Did Aunt Cui not like Brother Tongxi before?"
"How could she like it? Thinking about her being married for so long, she has never met Tong Xi at all, and she is not familiar with her at all. After half a year of marriage, my brother-in-law came back suddenly, and he has to take care of another person."
Yang Cui wanted to separate the family and didn't want to take care of Tongxi anymore. She wished that he would fend for herself, but she was also reluctant to share some of her family's property with others. She wanted to leave the best for her future children. How could she like Tongxi? What about the medicine jar
"That's all I know about things. Just be careful with Tongxi. I think that boy Tonghe probably won't die soon, you evildoer."
After the village chief spoke for such a long time, his whole body showed a sense of fatigue.
"Grandpa, are you tired?"
"Yeah, I'm old and useless. I didn't become like this because I wiped my body with cold water. It's just that the diseases are accumulated in the body and they burst out one after another. I don't think there will be many." Happy New Year."
The village chief has a clearer understanding of life and death.
"Grandpa, don't curse yourself like this, it will get better."
"Girl Ning, you are still young, but grandpa is already old. I think it doesn't matter if we old guys die, but you can't. You are still a tricky age, and you have never seen anything."
The village chief sighed, staring at the light bulb with his eyes open, not knowing what to do, even if he knew it in his heart, so what, even if he knew that someone was playing tricks behind it, he still couldn't get out of this place.
The village head and the village head's wife don't care, if they can't get out, they can't get out, anyway, they are getting old, it's okay even if they die here, at least they didn't die in some unknown place.
"grandfather… "
"Ning girl, let's go."
The village chief tilted his head and closed his eyes.
"Go if you can... go as far as you can."
The words of the village chief unexpectedly coincided with what Grandma Tong said that day, but now Su Xin still doesn't quite understand.
Su Xin left with a lot of thoughts, and was a little absent-minded along the way.
"What's the matter, what happened, what did the village chief say to you, why are you like this?"
Seeing Su Xin's distracted look, Mu Qi asked worriedly.
"It's nothing... let's go, let's go to other people's houses."
The last family to visit was Tong Yuzhuan's family.
Tong Yuzhuan's house is very clean, there are plates of candy and biscuits on the table, waiting for the juniors to give them when they come to visit.
"Aunt Yubracelet, I'm here to wish you New Year's greetings. Happy New Year."
"Okay, good boy, come and eat candy, there are biscuits and oranges, you can take whatever you want, don't be polite to auntie."
Since Yang Cui left, Tong Yuzhuo has been a little sluggish and very unhappy. Today is the Chinese New Year, and after seeing a few people, she seems to be in better spirits.
"Yeah, Aunt Yubracelet, I actually want to ask you something."
"What's the matter, just ask, why are you being polite with my aunt, we are all our own people, so just say what you want."
"It's about Aunt Cui, Aunt Yubracelet, don't you have a very good relationship with Aunt Cui?"
Su Xin said tentatively, that kind of temptation was not too obvious, with some childlike curiosity.
"That's not true. My relationship with her is not so good. I have known her since she got married. We have known her for so many years. Tell me, do you have a good relationship?"
Tong Yuzhuo annoys others the most about her friendship with Yang Cui. If she hears someone talking about her and Yang Cui's discord, she will definitely scold her without opening her mouth.
"Then do you know many things about Aunt Cui?"
"That's not it, of course, what's the matter, girl Ning, why did you suddenly ask me this?"
Tong Yuzhua was a little surprised, why did this little girl get interested in these things today, and she never asked her before.
"I went to the village chief's house today, and the village chief told me some interesting stories about him and Grandma Tong. I just saw you, aunt, and wanted to ask."
Su Xin touched her braid embarrassedly.
"I want to hear a story. Tweety is a very miserable girl, and I don't know why God treats him so unfairly. Tweety likes her own child, but it's a pity that she accidentally miscarried one year. When the second child had Manchu, she was so cautious, she usually did all kinds of work, but in those few months she didn't dare to work hard, God didn't know how to open her eyes, such a good person So dead."
Tong Yuzhuo said with some bitterness, but Su Xin's focus was on one of her words.
"Aunt Yuzhuo, do you mean that Aunt Cui had a child in the early years?"
Su Xin felt as if he understood something, and the vague clues were connected together to form a terrifying thing, which was really unbelievable.
"Yeah, she lost it in only two months. She didn't even know she was pregnant at that time, and she went to the fields to do heavy work, but she passed out, and the baby was not kept. But fortunately, she was relatively young at the time, and her foundation was good. She recovered. Come on, finally, my son is in his teens... This kind of thing happened again... It's God's will."
Tong Yuzhuan sighed, peeled a peanut and stuffed it into her mouth, then went to drink again.
"Yeah, God's will tricks people."
Su Xin sighed, but she was thinking about something else.
God's will, maybe it's man-made, or maybe it's a ghost.
If these known clues are connected together, Tong He's matter can be almost cleared up, but there are still some things that are not clear. Why did Yang Cui kill Tong Manwen's female ghost and bury her body? What does it have to do with the grandfather, and why did the female ghost kill Yang Cui in a cruel way
Su Xin held Mu Qi with one hand while watching Tong Qing go home, this time he didn't think about it any more, some answers were ready to come out, what sounded impossible was often the most possible.
There is always only one truth.
Su Xin smiled inwardly, and missed Mr. Conan a little bit. After this task is completed, he can go back and watch Conan. Don't worry about more than 900 episodes, and you can watch it for a long time.
Mu Qi didn't speak along the way, she was quiet, not knowing what she was thinking.
Su Xin gave each of Tong Qing and Mu Qi a red envelope, and there was lucky money in the red envelope. Although it was not much, or even pitifully small, it would be nice if he wanted it. Besides, Su Xin had no money, so he gave each of them ten yuan. Already a lot.
Life, hey.
Su Xin experienced the feeling of being poor, but she knew that this was not the limit. After all, she was in the countryside. She farmed and ate all her own food. Can't afford it, have no place to sleep and nothing to eat, that's terrible.
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door of Su Xin's house, and it was Tong Ling who came.
This time, Tong Ling didn't follow her parents, she came alone.
"Lingling, come in and sit down. Is it cold? Come and drink some hot water."
Su Xin naturally wanted to show great enthusiasm and affection for her good friend, so she happily poured a glass of water for her, and sat down with Tong Ling.
"Happy New Year."
"You too, happy new year."
Mu Qi stood beside her, looked at Su Xin and Tong Ling for a while, leaned against the wall, and listened to the two of them talking.
"Lingling, your cold hasn't healed yet, why does it seem to be getting worse?"
"It's okay, it will be fine when the spring begins, it's not a serious illness, and it will get better after a while."
"You, your father also let you?"
"Don't mention him, I'm so annoying, today is such a good day, why talk about others, can I come and sleep with you tonight, I won't go home."
Tong Ling said naturally that she had slept with Tong Ning before and they both covered the same bed.
"This may… "
Su Xin looked a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter? I'm not welcome, okay, don't you think of me as your good sister?"
Tong Ling put the cup on the table, her face full of displeasure.
"How come, of course you are my good sister, but now Qiqi is sleeping at my house, sleeping in the same room with me, it's inconvenient."
No matter how you sleep, it's not very good. It's weird to let Tong Ling and Tong Qing sleep, it's weird to let Mu Qi and Tong Qing sleep, and it's even weird to let Tong Ling and Mu Qi sleep. Anyway, no matter how you arrange it, it's not right.
"Doesn't she have her own home? Let her go back and stay for one night first."
Obviously Mu Qi was there, Tong Ling didn't tell her, but Su Xin.
"There has been no one sleeping in her house for many days, so I can't sleep anymore."
Su Xin shook her head, the original owner would definitely choose her good friend Tong Ling, but she didn't, of course she chose Mu Qi, the best cook.
"You... Are you getting along with her and not being with me?"
Tong Ling got angry and gave Mu Qi a hard look.
"How could it be? How long have we known each other? It's just that I really can't sleep. I won't be nice to you. Don't think about it."
"You just don't want me to sleep with you, you just don't think of me as your best friend, I know, if you bother me, go to bed early."
Tong Ling stood up, turned around and was about to leave.
Su Xin was a little confused, obviously she didn't understand the little girl's angry gesture, why she got involved with someone who wasn't a good friend when she disagreed, what she said was the truth, very objective, Tong Ling asked her to drive Mu Qi away It's not right to go back.
Su Xin didn't have so-called puberty, and she didn't have so-called friendship with girls. She had only one good friend, and she had never quarreled. Of course, she didn't understand the feelings of girls before.
Girls can become good friends because they like to read the same book, the same anime, the same movie, or eat the same dessert, and discuss knitting scarves. Their friendship is sometimes easy, and they will quarrel. There will be a cold war, and no one will care about anyone, but they will also reconcile.
Some women will care about the question of "whether I am your best friend or not". Sometimes what they want is not the result, but the attitude. They know the objective reality, but they want to ignore it.
If Su Xin changed the answer, she agreed to Tong Ling's request and let Mu Qi go back to live in her own home, and Tong Ling would sleep with her, Tong Ling might not insist on living with her, and let Mu Qi Qi went back.
Su Xin didn't understand these things, so she is at a loss now.
Mu Qi, who was leaning against the wall, raised an uncontrollable corner of his mouth, not knowing why, but just happy.
It was comforting to hear Su Xin speak in favor of her.
"Hmph, what did you say that you and I are good friends forever, Tong Ning, you remember it for me, I will break up with you."
If there is a disagreement, the relationship will be broken.
Tong Ling ran out in anger, Su Xin could only follow.
The human design cannot collapse, the original owner will definitely chase after it.
Mu Qi's raised lips returned to their original shape, and she looked at the open door expressionlessly.
There was wind blowing in from outside, and it was chilly.
Tong Qing who was in the room didn't know much about the situation, and when she came out, she couldn't see Tong Ling and Su Xin, and she looked at Mu Qi inexplicably.
Mu Qi looked at him, expressing that he didn't know what was going on.
After Su Xin ran out, she could no longer see Tong Ling's shadow, but only saw footprints on the snow, she was at a loss.
Fourteenth Master, it's really hard to guess what the little girl is thinking. I shouldn't have said anything wrong just now, right
[I don't think so.]
Su Xin rubbed her hands together by mistake and returned home, closing the door.
In the dead of night, the moon showed its face in the sky, only the slight sound of the wind blowing through the branches.
Seeing that the people around him had fallen into a deep sleep, Mu Qi couldn't help but put his finger on Su Xin's cheek again.
It's inexplicable, and I feel a little different when I see it at first glance.
Mu Qi's fingers moved lightly, then retracted.
Su Xin woke up.
How can we not keep a high level of vigilance in this dungeon with many ghosts, so Su Xin has already done it when Mu Qi stretched out his finger to touch her, and if he doesn't wake up, he will wake up even if he is touched by a finger up.
Master Fourteen, what does she want to do
[There is no other action, and I am staring at the host right now. If you want to pretend to be asleep, please don't reveal any clues.]
Understood.
What is Mu Qi staring at her face for, and in this situation, the lights are blind, if you don't turn on the lights, it's pitch black and you can't see at all, what's so good about her
Fortunately, Mu Qi just stared at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, and fell asleep soundly.
Su Xin waited for a while, and then fell asleep.
At dawn.
I don't know if everyone in this village has the function of a crow's mouth. Anyway, the good ones don't work the bad ones, and whoever says they want to die will die.
Something happened to Tong He.
Tong He's death was also quite strange, he choked to death while eating.
It sounds really surprising, but Tong Xi, the only surviving member of the Tong family, said so, who would investigate the truth.
So what if it is fake, so what if it is true, everyone more or less understands this matter in their hearts, but no one will say it.
Su Xin saw Tong Xi who hadn't seen him for half a month. Tong Xi looked much better. Although his brows were still pale, his lips were red, and he didn't look like he was about to die.
Tong Xi, who was said to not be able to survive this winter, became the only living person in this family, and those people who should have lived for a long time died one by one, in all sorts of strange ways.
Su Xin didn't care about the story of a family in this ordinary but extraordinary rural area, and put Tongxi in the first position that might be the focus of the formation.
Fourteenth Master, it shouldn't matter if I kill by mistake, right
[should not.]
How to kill Tongxi is still a problem. You can't do it rashly. There is no gun that Su Xin is famous for, and there may be some unknown female ghost guarding Tongxi, so you must not be impulsive.
Tong Xi faced everyone's condolences with a pale face, looking very sad, but Su Xin didn't feel his sadness at all, but felt that he was very happy.
Su Xin didn't like him very much, it was a very uncomfortable feeling, as if being stared at by something, Su Xin had felt this kind of sight before, it was from Fang.
As I said before, Su Xin is a scavenger, and likes to take advantage of others. 'Venom' was once one of her targets. This person is extremely difficult to deal with and also very arrogant. He looked at her with such eyes, but the eyes of 'Vinfang' were very presumptuous and undisguised, while Tong Xi's eyes were subtle and cautious.
It was the expression of looking at the prey, with the certainty of winning.
Su Xin wanted to laugh, she just paid homage to the deceased, and Tong Xi, who was too lazy, said a word and left.
"A-Ning, why are you leaving without saying a word?"
Tong Xi called out to stop Su Xin, and asked sadly.
"I feel sick when I see you."
Su Xin left without saying a word. Anyway, there is no one here, and it doesn't matter whether it is collapsed or not. Her intuitive feeling is that it is disgusting, very disgusting.
Tong Xi was not annoyed, instead she smiled when she heard Su Xin's words.
After Su Xin came out of Tongxi's place, she felt uncomfortable, and she already felt uncomfortable in Tongxi's place.
Su Xin is not such an impatient person, but now she feels extremely irritable, as if there is a fire burning in her chest, which is about to erupt, but she has no way to vent, and feels oppressed.
[Host, let's have some chrysanthemum tea that clears away the heat.]
Come.
As soon as the chrysanthemum tea was served, Su Xin really felt much better.
But Su Xin started to feel cold again, and even felt that his body was freezing inch by inch, his blood vessels were all frozen, and he was so stiff that he couldn't feel himself.
This feeling came too violently and too quickly, as if a cold air surrounded her, Su Xin walked stiffly, this time she came out by herself, without letting Mu Qi and Tong Qing follow her.
What she thought was that if there was a chance to do it, wouldn't it be a hindrance to bring two people.
But there was no such opportunity, Tong Xi looked as if he had the chance to win, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
But no matter what he wants to do, Su Xin only knows that his current situation is not very good.
You have to go home quickly, and you must not fall on the road.
If it falls on the road, there will be very dire consequences.
Su Xin started to run, she felt as if there were thousands of hands pulling her feet, preventing her from taking a step forward, every step was so difficult.
Damn it, it must be hell.
Snowing.
The snowflakes fell on Su Xin's face one after another. It was icy cold, and when it melted away, it would bring a burning sensation.
[Host, this is in an illusion, you are trapped by ghosts.]
Of course I know, this situation is already very obvious.
The snow stopped a long time ago, okay? How could it suddenly snow again? The snow is still so heavy that it seems to be able to kill people.
[Host, you must break free as soon as possible, otherwise you will be frozen to death here.]
The spirit sleeps here, and the body sleeps outside, in the snow, and dies.
