husband from hell

Chapter 167 Who is Calamus
Strange, I thought about it carefully, could there be two second grandpas in the world?No matter what, you still have to try and try.

I sat next to the second grandpa, and the second grandpa pulled out a chicken leg and gave it to me: "Eat, eat, eat, there is nothing else in Jinyu that can be flattering, this chicken is the most delicious."

After receiving the chicken legs, I asked, "Second Grandpa, do you often come to Jinyuli? Are you familiar with this place?"

The second grandpa said nonchalantly while eating: "Familiar, why not? Decades ago, I was investigating the matter of Changsheng here in Yuning, and I often came here to hang out. At that time, Deaf Ma hadn't come yet, right? Deaf horse?"

Dr. Ma didn't like to hear this nickname, and the eyes behind the tortoiseshell glasses rolled a moderate white eye.

When Mrs. Liu called her by this nickname, she didn't think much of Dr. Ma.

"Then... when was the last time you came to Jinyuli?" I hurriedly asked.

"When..." Second Grandpa thought for a while and said, "It's been so long, who still remembers clearly."

I just bought heavy pears from the black market yesterday, and I turned my back on it so quickly. Sure enough, it might be useless to ask. The second grandpa just wanted to ask a question.

I glanced at Cheng Ke, and Cheng Ke swept his eyes over, but didn't say much.

"Then you came here this time just to see me?" I hesitated: "Is there anything else?"

The second grandpa looked at me carefully and said, "Is there anything else you want?"

My heart skipped a beat, and then I thought, could Second Grandpa be testing if I saw him yesterday?
This feeling is really uncomfortable. It is obviously my relatives, but it seems like they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, which makes people extremely awkward.

"It's not..." I said insincerely, "I'm concerned, Changsheng, is there any whereabouts now?"

The second grandpa lowered his head and only focused on eating the chicken, and said vaguely: "It's still the same, after the big tomb incident broke up a while ago, Wei Changsheng's vitality must have been seriously injured, and there has been no movement at Biluomen. "

"I've always heard about Biluomen, but I haven't seen anyone from Biluomen." I asked casually, "Are those people acting similarly to Longevity Walkers?"

"It's much worse. Longevity Walkers searched hard, but they, like robbers, burned, killed and looted," said the second grandfather, "You know what happened in Luojia Village, they did it."

It is conceivable what happened in Luojia Village, maybe Wei Qiancheng was afraid that we would find some clues from there, but he didn't want Cheng Ke to recover his memory.

"However, it can't be said that there is no movement at all..." I deliberately said, "Wei Changsheng might have done the thing about the reception!"

As he spoke, he paid attention to the expression of the second grandpa.

Sure enough, the second grandpa seemed to regain his spirits, quickly swallowed a mouthful of the chicken, and said, "This is a damn thing, to tell you the truth, as a respectable longevity walker, I also received that invitation. I saw that it was related to longevity, of course I was very interested, but unfortunately when I got there, I couldn’t find a place! There are a few old guys, all of whom are like me. By the way, how did you find that place? There is no way at all!"

What he said was impeccable. It was obviously unrealistic to say that he didn't know about this reception, but he said he knew, so how could he not go? If he didn't find a word, he dismissed it just right.

Probably, he also knows the Baicao circle set up by the old janitor.

Doctor Ma rolled his eyes again, and said, "Crazy Yang, you claim to be a living map every day, why can Liu Juhua and Wei Xiazi find it all, why can't you find it?"

"I lent my eyes to Blind Wei." The second grandpa proudly said with an expression that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water: "Why is Blind Wei so pitiful."

"He has a yin and yang ability to control ghosts. He has a ghost daughter-in-law who is much better than you. How can you be pitiful?" Doctor Ma said disdainfully: "You have been busy all your life, what can you do?"

"A frog at the bottom of the well," the second grandpa was also unceremoniously venomous to his old friend who "hadn't seen him for many years": "What can you do if you sit here all your life?"

Doctor Ma had always hoped to go out for a walk, but he couldn't do it all the time, and he felt a little pissed about it, and being ridiculed by his second grandfather, he couldn't take it anymore, so he went straight to the pharmacy.

"What's the matter?" The second grandpa said puzzledly, "I don't want to eat such a good chicken? Did I say something wrong? I said the horse is deaf..."

Speaking of getting up to chase, I quickly grabbed the second grandpa and said, "You can pull it down quickly, you offended someone, and it's appropriate to apologize after the person calms down."

"If a man is a man, he will get angry even if he says a word, like an old woman." The second grandfather sat down again: "He won't eat, we two will eat it all!"

I agreed, and remembering what happened in the shopping mall, I asked again: "Second grandpa, you said you run around all day, how do you make money for a living?"

"Oh, the second grandpa is still thinking about showing off to you." The second grandpa was very excited when he mentioned this, and said, "Yesterday, the second grandpa made a lot of money!"

"Oh?" I hurriedly asked knowingly, "You accepted the deal?"

Ghost raisers raise ghosts, of course, just like farmers planting land and merchants buying goods, for the sake of living. Generally, the business of ghost raisers is to help people look out for luck, or to correct people who encounter strange things and recite words. Counting fleeting years, eating a bowl of yin and yang rice, and being invited to exorcise evil spirits is a kind of business.

"That's it," the second grandpa said triumphantly, "You don't know, there is a shopping mall that is very haunted, and the money from the boss is not small. The ghost breeder who came out to show off was folded inside, and the one who died was miserable, without leaving any clothes, just like grilled chicken, naked to death, indecent, indecent!"

I quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"It's just because the group of idiots who built the shopping mall didn't know who they offended. When they built the elevator, it happened to be designed on the yin entrance. You think, it was originally a mysterious yin place with so much yin, and it was built at the yin entrance. After getting into the elevator, those unclean things like to go up and down in the yin and yang worlds, and it’s more convenient to take the elevator.” The second grandpa said while looking at me: “You know what the Yinkou is? ?"

I shook my head blankly.

Cheng Ke interfaced and said: "The entrance to the yin is the direction of a house. Although people think that the house is a closed space when it is built, in fact, the path of the yin spirit and the location of the yang house are very likely to overlap. , Every mansion will leave a yin passage, which is a sidewalk for the ghosts to walk together, so that the well water does not interfere with the river water."

It turns out that building a house still has this kind of attention.

I then asked, "What happened next?"

"Afterwards," the second grandpa said boldly, "Under that elevator, someone put a few bone sticks stolen from who knows where. You think, when a person dies, he must wear clothes and keep some bones. It's like throwing people naked in the abyss, who would be happy? So the ghosts there simply took off the clothes of those people who came back and forth from their bodies and buried them with them."

"According to what you said, things shouldn't be very complicated!" I asked, "Then why all the ghost raisers in the past died?"

"It's because it doesn't look complicated, so people can take it lightly." The second grandpa took another bite of the chicken and said, "Did you forget the location? It's actually a game set up by people, with so much yin, Animals put in it can become fucking spirits, let alone ghosts, each of them has a lot of yin energy, which is very powerful. When the ghost keeper's own yin energy hits inside, those ghosts will know that they are looking for trouble So, preemptively, they also took away their clothes and pulled them down.

In this way, with more and more newcomers, the strength will also increase. That is to say, your second grandfather went earlier, if it was a little later, I would probably have to be swallowed by that elevator. "

It is simple to say, but it is also thrilling to think about.

I then asked: "So, you made a lot of money, right?"

"That's right." The second grandfather said complacently, "So now I have money to buy you sweet-scented osmanthus chicken."

"Then tell me," I quickly hit the snake with the stick: "What do you plan to use for such a large sum of money?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Second Grandpa's expression was a little unnatural, but he immediately continued: "Of course it's for the elderly, what's the matter, I can't cause trouble to you juniors!"

Can't tell, did you go to buy a heavy pear?

"That's right..." I went on to say, "I narrowly escaped from the tomb last time, and I figured it out. If you are a long-lived person, you will live for decades, and you may go to the Western Paradise at any time. You should live a day and cherish a day." Well, the heavy pear in that big tomb is really frightening to death, fortunately it was crushed to death inside, otherwise who knows how many people will be harmed in the future."

When the pear was brought up, the second grandfather simply kept quiet and only cared about eating chicken.

At this time, Cheng Ke suddenly asked: "Second grandfather's longevity sachet, didn't you bring it today?"

Ok?I followed Cheng Ke's gaze and looked down, and sure enough, the second grandpa's waist was empty, and the old longevity sachet was gone!
The second grandpa blinked when he heard the question, and suddenly burst into a smile: "I changed my clothes yesterday, but I forgot them in the dirty clothes. The eyes of both of you are not so big for nothing."

Longevity sachet is not an ordinary thing. How could a lifelong traveler forget that kind of thing? I am more and more suspicious of the identity of the second grandfather in front of me.

"Forgot it at home?" I hurriedly said, "Grandpa is living with you now? Please be careful, don't throw it in the washing machine and twist it."

"Your grandpa..." The second grandpa opened his mouth and didn't continue, but just waved his hand: "I know, I know... let's not talk about this," the second grandpa unknowingly killed a whole sweet-scented osmanthus chicken by himself , looked up at us, wiped his oily mouth, and said, "Do you know what else I came here for besides seeing you?"

"Look at what you said," I pretended to be confused: "I'm not the roundworm in your stomach."

"Hehehe," the second grandfather said in a mysteriously low voice, "This can be regarded as the progress of the Changsheng matter. Your fourth aunt rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and finally found out who that calamus is."

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, I never thought that the second grandpa would bring up this matter!
Scanning Cheng Ke, although Cheng Ke's big peach blossom eyes were still unruffled, they could be seen and flickered for a while.

I pursed my lips and said, "How... how did you find out? Is it reliable?"

"You don't even believe your second grandpa?" The second grandpa spit out a thin chicken bone in one gulp as if he had been wronged so much, and smashed it on the old dog's head. The old dog quickly picked it up and ate it. Still wagging his tail and begging for more.

I took out the chicken bone and put it near the dog's mouth, and asked, "You say it, I believe it."

"It's all thanks to your fourth aunt." The second grandfather said: "This time, your fourth aunt was completely turned upside down, and no one was found. But you said it was a coincidence. A while ago, there was a The ancestral grave collapsed, and the coffin board was broken, revealing all the contents.

Your fourth aunt went to help, and then found a clue in that grave.It turned out that the ancestor was the mother of Calamus. Many things in it were embroidered by Calamus, and many of them were decorated with Calamus flowers. "

It's a coincidence that it collapsed at this time, which is really full of a sense of fate.

Cheng Ke also became a little nervous after Wei Wei, yes, I was also nervous, let alone him.

The second grandpa continued to speak vividly: "As soon as I saw the calamus flower, of course your fourth aunt searched for the contents carefully, and then found a book about the calamus in the burial inside. It's her life, and now I figured out who Chang Pu is!"

There are too many mysteries about Calamus. Although she is from the Yang family, why is there no trace on the family tree, as if she was erased by someone and buried outside the ancestral grave?How did he die again?After solving the mystery of Calamus, I think half of the mystery of Cheng Ke has been solved.

My heart started beating "thud bang": "Then, who is this person..."

While picking his teeth, the second grandfather said, "He is from the Yang family."

"..." I sighed, "I still know this."

"But you don't know why she was erased from the family tree, do you?" The second grandfather said mysteriously, "Because of treason."

"Treason?" I stared at Cheng Ke, and his eyes were slightly moved: "What kind of treason law?"

"I'll tell you from the beginning," the second grandpa continued, "From the information found in the grave, Calamus is the first batch of longevity walkers.

You know, our Tanshen Town has been guarding Changsheng, and it was because Wei Changsheng was appointed as the patriarch that Changsheng was stolen, causing chaos in the world, so the people in Tanshen Town began to discuss and send people Bring back Changsheng and Wei Changsheng.

In this way, the best young people were found from the village to form the Longevity Walker, who is outstanding like your second grandfather. "

I nodded: "I understand."

The second grandpa went on to say: "But you know, the danger that the longevity walker will encounter is great, and there is a great possibility that he will die in the hands of Wei Changsheng, so at the beginning, he did not intend to choose the female longevity Xingzhe's, but Calamus broke this rule, because she is so outstanding."

I understand, I understand, calamus is so good that she is not like a mortal, but a goddess.

"What happened later?" Cheng Ke asked before I had time to ask.

He still looked calm, obviously listening to someone else's story.

"Later, it was important!" The second grandfather continued his bluffing style, and then said: "There are so many longevity walkers, none of them can find Wei Changsheng, only Changpu is the only one who has approached Wei Changsheng. Wei Changsheng, and...the approach was a bit too close, Wei Changsheng actually fell in love with her!"

Speaking of which, the second grandpa was waiting for Cheng Ke and me to marvel, but Cheng Ke and I were not only indifferent, but also a little numb.

The second grandpa was a little disappointed, so he had to ask: "Aren't you surprised and stunned?"

"I just feel refreshed." I pulled out a smile: "Second Grandpa, you go on, what about Changpu and Wei Changsheng...after that?"

"Afterwards," the second grandpa had no choice but to continue: "The old man in the village said that if this is the case, we will use the trick and let Changpu be the person next to Wei Changsheng! This person is defenseless against heaven and earth, and he will never be able to guard against himself. Don't talk about pillows."

Sure enough, it was exactly as I guessed, for longevity, all for longevity.

"Then... Is Calamus willing?"

As soon as I asked this question, I couldn't help but glance at Cheng Ke.

Cheng Ke still didn't say anything, just a little dazed.

It's a pity that his heart can't beat... Otherwise, wouldn't it be beating very violently now?
"Who cares about this?" The second grandfather said, "Once you become a longevity walker, you will dedicate your whole life to longevity. Whether you want it or not is not up to you."

yes i understand.

In Wei Qiancheng's memory, Changpu's crying face with pear blossoms and rain: "Wei Qiancheng, why are you Wei Changsheng..."

For the sake of a long life, everyone can't help themselves.

I was suddenly bored.

With a cold hand, Cheng Ke held my hand, and said in a Qingyue voice: "Listen carefully, let's go find it, and after that... it won't matter anymore."

I nodded.

According to Mrs. Liu's words, the color of my white paper hasn't peeled off yet.

"After that, Calamus really fell in love with Wei Changsheng, and the sky was dark and dark, tsk tsk tsk." The second grandfather clicked his tongue and said, "You don't know how capable Acorus is, so we just let Wei Changsheng do it with her." Happy event! On the occasion of the happy event, Calamus got Changsheng."

"I got it..." I immediately asked, "And then?"

"Then, Calamus died." The second grandfather sighed and said, "He committed suicide."

"Then Changsheng..." My heart ached suddenly: "She became the last master of Changsheng?"

"That's right, Changsheng finally got into her hands and disappeared." The second grandfather knocked on the table surface with one finger, and said, "So... originally there was still hope for Changsheng, and it was with Wei Changsheng, but Once Calamus died, Changsheng became a mud cow, and there was no more news, and all the ghost raisers in the world began to be greedy for Changsheng, and they have found it until today."

I figured it out: "Because the calamus lost its longevity, it was a crime of treason?"

The second grandpa nodded and said: "Obviously I could bring Changsheng back, but he died outside and lost Changsheng. It's not a traitor or something! So..."

Therefore, the patriarch of Tanshen Town at that time must have seen the duck with its beak fly away, and was furious. He not only expelled Calamus from the family tree, but also refused to accept her body.

He even... erased all traces of her, denying her as a person.

No wonder.

Cheng Ke's hands trembled slightly.

I think I can guess why she died.

Changsheng is a scourge that shouldn't appear in the world. She wanted to take her own life as the end, so that Changsheng's whereabouts would never be known by others.

This kind of plot of "sacrificing oneself for the sake of world peace" is so vulgar that it makes people want to laugh.

But I can't laugh at all.

"Then her body..." I hesitated, and asked, "Who was buried in the corpse?"
