Chapter 53 Finding Obsession
The next day, when he returned home, he found that the courtyard door that he had closed when he left had now opened a gap.

This made him feel that something was wrong, so he quickly opened the door and rushed in.

If it was normal, knowing that he went to town, Yoyo who was thinking about sweet-scented osmanthus, would usually sit on the pony ponytail next to the grape vines, and he would see it as soon as he came back, and then ran over with a happy face.

But when he looked there today, the usual delicate figure was nowhere to be seen, and several tender green leaves on the vines had fallen off, even the little Maza fell to the ground.

Standing at the door, looking at the mess in the courtyard, my heart skipped a beat.

He just opened the door in a hurry and made a lot of noise, even if he was inside the room, he could hear the sound from outside.

"Yuyo, Yoyo, grandpa is back!"

He suppressed the bad thoughts in his heart, and his voice trembled a little.

"Yoyo! Yoyo!"

It took a long time to get a response, and the thing in my hand fell with a "snap", falling into sight.

It's just a corner, but she still saw clearly at a glance that it was paper money for the dead!
After searching for a long time, she didn't find her granddaughter's voice. She didn't pay attention when she went down the steps, and she tripped. That's why Shen Suiyao discovered the reason why the screen often goes up and down.

One of his legs was already limping, and he finally understood why the picture was shaking.

This phenomenon has already appeared in the last memory. It should be the sequelae left after being beaten in the last memory. This also echoes the limp walking of the old man I saw now.

The panic-stricken old man kept searching in the surrounding houses.

Finally, I saw a curled up figure in a dilapidated room.

"long!"

The hasty opening of the door startled the frightened little rabbit, and she raised her head only when she heard a familiar voice.

On her small face, two rows of glistening tear stains were extremely obvious, and even the crying was so silent.

There are also a few less obvious scratches on the forehead, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.

"Grand...Grandpa, did my dad...um, offend the mountain god, so...that's why our village was cursed?"

Seeing that it was her closest grandpa who came over, she was full of grievances and immediately stretched out her arms to hug him, refusing to let go no matter what.

However, the choking was difficult to calm down for a while, and Yoyo was sobbing while talking.

"Who said that? Tell grandpa, grandpa will help you clean them up."

Although this sentence was said in a coaxing tone, she could still hear a bit of seriousness from it.

"Yes, it's Xu's Xiaoliu. He said that the reason why no one in our village has lived past forty is because I... my father angered the mountain... well, the mountain god."

"They also pushed me ... tricked me out and ... stoned me."

"Grandpa...I don't want to go out to play...they are good and bad..."

"Okay, okay, grandpa will play with you at home, don't cry..."

Yoyo intermittently told him what happened during his absence.

Because of the angle of view, she couldn't see what happened to Yoyo, what the children around said to this girl who was under five years old.

But I also learned some things from it, including the death of Yoyo's parents.

The villagers don't know how they died, only that after their death, no one in the village lived beyond the age of 40.

Shen Suiyao could clearly feel that the time behind was speeding up, and the same memory skipped those insignificant plots and presented the most urgent things.

Hurry up, I'm about to touch the core, the most secret place.

She felt that the old man's obsession was about to come out.

Sure enough, at night, the lights were lit again after being out for a long time.

The small round wooden sword that had been caressed was taken out again. Shen Suiyao had seen it last time, but no matter how she looked at it, it was a very ordinary wood.

It's like a toy for young children. The few lines on it are just decorative patterns carved out by hand, and there are no valuable clues.

After looking at it twice, he put the wooden sword in his arms, and limped out to take out the paper money that was kept in the dark.

Holding paper money in one hand and a kerosene lamp in the other, he swayed to the gate of the courtyard, turned a corner, and stopped at a place that was not easy to see.

Put the kerosene lamp and paper money on the ground first, then pick up the stones aside to build up a small altar eight inches long and three inches wide.

Only then did he take out the small wooden sword in his bosom, and rubbed it for a while, as if tears were in his eyes, he wiped it with his hands.

After putting the wooden sword on it, he squatted down slowly, dismantled the paper money, and burned several pieces.

After burning for a while, maybe it was the green smoke that dazzled his eyes, or maybe it was the sadness of the middle-aged bereaved son, which made him feel sad when he burned the paper money, and chanted a few more words.

"It's my father's fault. I shouldn't have followed you that day. Otherwise, you can be like everyone else. Even if you can only live to be 40 years old, you won't die so early..."

That word stuck in his throat, making him unable to say it no matter what.

I added a few more sheets to it, holding a wooden stick in one hand, so that the paper money can be fully burned, while continuing to say:

"Over the years, I have been asking myself, if I had forced you to stay at home that night, would you have participated in it, would our family still be here now.

Forget it, forget it, I've gotten used to it after a long time, but it's just hard work for Yoyo, I can't let her go out to play happily. "

"The Xu family, the Xu family doesn't have any good things. They made their fortunes in other places, but what did they do to make their fortunes? They are all engaged in immoral activities to eat out their families!"

"Hey, this group of people will suffer retribution sooner or later. Miss Jiang's family is the knife hanging over their heads. Even if the Xu family demolished the general temple, the blood oath sworn cannot be covered up..."

These things seemed to have been piled up in his heart for a long time, and he had nowhere to say them, so he could only open them up when his son died.

After cursing fiercely, the resentment in my heart subsided a lot, and half of the paper money was burned.

After venting, he continued to ramble on about Yoyo.

The rest of the story moved very quickly, and she read it in a hurry.

The death of Youyou's parents, Shen Suiyao, knew something was wrong, but she didn't want to see what happened in an ignorant village.

In the blink of an eye, the crying female doll just now has turned into a slim young girl, and there is also a follower behind her.

Just when the old man had settled down with his granddaughter's marriage and had a problem on his mind, his own granddaughter was kidnapped by the servants of the Xu family for no reason.

Seeing this, she seemed to have realized something. Having a child at a young age is an unforgettable joy in his life, losing a child in middle age is his saddest pain, and the only granddaughter in his old age was killed by his enemy. This should be his last. obsession.

"Don't worry, old man, I will rescue your granddaughter after I go down the mountain!"

After Shen Suiyao thought everything through, she solemnly bowed to one place.

"On the night of the [-]th full moon, on the Mingyue Terrace..."
