husband from hell

Chapter 199
"No!" The fourth aunt said in surprise, "I was thinking of asking you, but when you said that the second grandpa was coming back, your third aunt and I have been waiting here for a whole day, but we haven't seen him yet. Is there a mistake?"

I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help saying: "I can't... Since they are coming in this direction, they are not going to Tanshen Town, where else can they go..."

Having said that, Luo Weilan hurriedly turned to Gong Beibei: "Hurry up and call your family, didn't you say you can find out?"

As soon as Gong Beibei heard it, she immediately took out the phone in a hurry, dialed it, and said, "I said that Liu Yuanhua's car... what?"

Having said this, Gong Beibei's face changed.

"What's the matter?" My heart suddenly caught up.

"This..." Gong Beibei hung up the phone, and said with some hesitation: "They said, follow the investigation, and they disappeared near Tanshen Town. Now they are trying to find it, but...they haven't seen it all turn up."

Of course, the ghost raiser under Gong Beibei must be the elite of Xichuan, but he was still lost...

"It's also normal," Wei Jiuye shook his collar, intending to put on a suave look in front of the Fourth Aunt's grandma: "If Crazy Yang can be found casually, that's not right. Yang is crazy, isn't he, Xiuying?"

The fourth aunt gave Wei Jiuye a snow-white look, ignored him, just pulled me and said, "I'm really tired after a long day in the car, let's go back and rest first."

I quickly said: "But..."

Before I finished speaking, the fourth aunt's hand suddenly pinched mine lightly.

I immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "That's fine, I'll just listen to my fourth aunt."

The fourth aunt nodded, and among the group of people who brought us, everyone except Wei Jiuye smiled: "Please, please, I know you are coming, and we have to come here in our village." Do your best to be a lord."

Luo Weilan hurriedly said: "You are too polite, thank you very much."

Wei Jiuye ignored the fact that the smile was not for himself, and was about to put his body on the fourth aunt's body: "Xiuying, why are you being so polite, don't be tired... I'm not an outsider, so I made such a big show... oops……"

Wei Jiuye didn't know what was going on, but just as his hand was about to pass through my arm and grab Fourth Aunt's hand, he withdrew as if getting an electric shock.

I secretly looked back, and saw that there was a bright red tooth mark on Wei Jiuye's tiger's mouth!
The tooth marks are very clear, and... Looking at the size, it looks like a child.

"Oh, I said Yang Xiuying, why did you let the ghosts bite you! We are returning home after a long time, so you greet us like this!" The old lady ghost was not happy, and began to chatter: "If you want me to say, you There is nothing special about Tanshen Town, the most famous one is our old man, it’s hard for us to return home, what’s your attitude..."

I don't know if this old lady can understand idioms, how to understand "returning home".

"Okay!" The third aunt who had been calm and silent all of a sudden said, "Do you two think I'm a dead person?"

"Ah, Third Sister!" Wei Jiuye seemed to have just come back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "This... I really didn't recognize Third Sister! I haven't seen you for decades, but Third Sister is still so beautiful..."

"Okay, you," the third aunt obviously didn't like that, and pointed at the intersection where she entered the village: "Hurry up and shut up, let's go."

Wei Jiuye looked quite afraid of the third aunt, so he could only follow behind, looking at the fourth aunt with his eyes, always wanting to talk to him, but he couldn't ask for it, and the old lady ghost was even more unhappy.

Soon, when we arrived in the ancestral hall, the third aunt said: "There are many people here this time, and the room in the ancestral hall is spacious, so you should stay in the backyard. It's late, and it's time to eat. I'll bring the prepared meal over here. Xiao Jiuer, come here, I left glutinous rice lotus root for you."

"Third Sister, you are really my own sister!" Wei Jiuye, known as "Little Jiuer", had exaggerated acting skills and wished he could shed tears in front of the audience, but it was a pity that after a long time, he still failed.

Because Luo Weilan has always lived with her grandmother, she is very polite to the elderly, so she hurried over to help, and Gong Beibei naturally followed. What does it mean to come out, so I just found an excuse and went out.

I hurriedly said: "Fourth aunt, is there something wrong?"

"You're not stupid." The fourth aunt looked around the yard with a pair of radiant eyes, and lowered her voice: "I'm afraid there are outsiders in your group."

"As expected of the fourth aunt!" I hastened to express my admiration for the fourth aunt with an exaggerated acting skill comparable to that of Wei Jiuye: "Zhuge Liang!"

"What is Zhuge Liang?" The fourth aunt snorted, but it was obviously helpful: "I said, you also know?"

I hurriedly told what happened on the road: "How did you see it at a glance?"

"You don't have to worry about it." The fourth aunt avoided answering, and just said: "Anyway, among that group of people, you are responsible for pretending to be stupid. Good thing."

"That's for sure!" I was anxious: "My second grandpa, my parents, all of them..."

"So, I don't tell you, because I'm afraid you might startle the snake." The fourth aunt said earnestly, "As long as you know what's going on, you will definitely guard against that person, and if that person finds out, we will be passive." Got it, do you understand?"

I put on a look of admiration, nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "The fourth aunt is still wise!"

"Yeah." The fourth aunt nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly said, "Do you know what their purpose is now?"

"For longevity!" I hurriedly said, "But you know..."

"Not only I know, but the whole world knows from the reception of the ghost master that the immortality is on you." The fourth aunt said neatly: "So you know they are thinking..."

I don't want to admit it, but I have no choice but to admit it: "I want to catch me, cut me open, whatever, take the longevity from me, that's why..."

But second grandpa, does he really have the heart to do this to his granddaughter?Inexplicably, I remembered that the mouse whose tail had been broken and re-growth in the hands of the second grandpa came.

"It's good that you understand." The fourth aunt pursed her lips and said, "Your second grandfather has hardly lived a normal life in his life, so the old ghost who grew up together called him Crazy Yang. This time, no matter whether he is Is it out of the heart, or because of something else, let's not figure it out..."

I immediately understood: "Fourth aunt, you must have seen the second grandpa enter the village, but just now deliberately..."

"Hush," the fourth aunt narrowed her eyes, looked out of the window, and said in a low voice, "I'll just tell you that they came, but they disappeared when they went around the ancestral grave of our Yang family. I also know what kind of formation was used to hide myself, I won't tell, let them find it by themselves."

I nodded hurriedly, and the fourth aunt went on to say: "Don't show your truth about this matter, and keep an eye on it. You know, even if they are all in Tanshen Town, they don't belong to the same surname, nor are they a family."

I naturally understand what the fourth aunt means. The Wei family is also bound to gain longevity. For the face that Wei Qiancheng left for the Wei family before, their generation must take it back, and the Yang family has done so much. Longevity walkers also hope that their home will have eternal life forever in the future.

Subconsciously touched my stomach, the fourth aunt noticed my movement and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Ah?" I just came back to my senses and took my hand off: "The fourth aunt's words are really a bit..."

"Well, it's time for dinner, you should be on guard, you have to be on guard..." At this point, the fourth aunt's eyes suddenly swept to my neck, and she became interested in the Xuanji bead: "What is that?" Son?"

"This..." I hurriedly said, "It's just a talisman, to keep you safe."

"Why haven't I seen this kind of amulet?" The fourth aunt showed a puzzled expression, and she was about to take off the Xuanji bead: "Take it off and show me. We are not ordinary people, and the amulet This kind of thing must not be taken carelessly."

I was taken aback, how can I pick this thing up as soon as I said it, and I was about to explain it to my fourth aunt, but at this moment, Cheng Ke came in from the door in a timely manner, holding a cup of tea in his hand, which was quite natural. In my hands.

Cheng Ke is Cheng Ke, when I need him most, he can always appear immediately.

With a flutter of tea fragrance, this matter was also confused.

Put on the Big Eight Immortals table, the table is full of steaming hot meals, all kinds of special food in Tanshen Town are dazzling, oily fried bacon with garlic moss, crystal clear hot noodles with wild vegetables siu mai, and fragrant Vegetarian stir-fried cauliflower, golden fried diced tofu, crispy roasted chicken in lotus leaf, pork ribs in honey sauce, etc., served with chestnut tremella soup, the aroma is intricate and mouth-watering.

"Quick, eat while it's hot." The third aunt greeted enthusiastically: "They are all local specialties, and don't hold them back if they don't make it to the big table."

"How can you dislike this?" Luo Weilan's eyes sparkled, "It's been a long time... I haven't eaten home-cooked food for a long time, it's delicious."

Upon hearing this, Gong Beibei quickly volunteered and said, "If you like it, I will make it for you in the future."

I picked up the chopsticks to eat, but I didn't know what happened, the heavy ebony chopsticks suddenly slipped in my hands, slipped directly from my hands, fell to the ground, and both of them broke.

"Oh, the quality of these chopsticks is not very good." I bent down to pick up the chopsticks and said, "Fourth aunt, there are still chopsticks..."

When I looked up, I saw that everyone had an unnatural expression.

"Uh..." I was embarrassed: "My hand slipped just now..."

"If you're not mistaken, is it broken?" Gong Beibei's eyes widened: "Lu Qiao, you..."

"Her luck has been low, and this is nothing new." Cheng Ke just handed me another pair of chopsticks, and said calmly, "Eat with me."

"Eh?" After taking the chopsticks, looking at the table full of people, he still felt guilty for no reason: "Is there anything to say?"

"It's called 'folding'." The fourth aunt's face was also a little ugly: "It means that when you eat at home, the chopsticks are out of your hands, which means you are going to recite words, and the chopsticks are not only out of your hands, but also broken. It is a sign that you will be in great danger recently, this is the warning given to you by your ancestors."

"Warning?" I thought to myself, I was already dead, and I was able to survive with that inexplicable spirit body, but now I'm about to encounter danger again...

"Such omens are not very common." Luo Weilan hesitated for a moment, and said to me sincerely: "These two days, I think you'd better be careful."

"Thank you." I nodded. Everyone seemed to be trying their best to make the atmosphere more lively, so they all started talking about other things, but I could tell that everyone looked at me unconsciously. , all with a little pity, as if... looking at a young but terminally ill person.

I was terrified by this inexplicable atmosphere, only Cheng Ke served me food calmly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all: "Eat more. Don't think too much."

After thinking about it, there is nothing more dangerous than death in the world anyway, I have become a fish that slipped through the net of a shady man, so what should I be afraid of? Don't take things to heart.

, For me, every day is picked up for nothing.

After eating and washing the dishes, the fourth aunt arranged the room, and we went to bed.

When I got to the room, I couldn't help asking: "Everyone told me to be careful about that 'fold', but how should I be careful?"

"Be careful? You don't have to be careful." Cheng Ke squinted his peach blossom eyes and said calmly, "You just need to stay away from me."

... as if no question was asked.I thought about it, it was right for my ancestors to give me a warning, maybe I am already dead, and my life fire is already quite low, right?

I didn't think of a reason, so I said casually: "How far is not too far..."

But Cheng Ke circled me first with his hands: "If this is the case, it won't be too far..."

The coolness hit me all of a sudden, I couldn't help but tremble, Cheng Ke noticed it, let go of his hands and lowered his head: "Cold?"

"It's not too cold," I said firmly, "It's mainly because it's cold, and it has nothing to do with you. I'm used to it now."

Having said that, Cheng Ke let go of his hand and smiled slightly: "I'm not used to it yet, it makes you cold."

His big peach blossom eyes were shining brightly under the dim incandescent lamp, and the lines outlined by the light and shadow on his side face were even more picturesque, just looking at it like this... already makes people want to hold their breath.

When I came back to my senses, I had to get used to it quickly, so I continued, "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom. Since I can't be too far away from you, you wait for me at the door."

"Across a door, of course it's far away," Cheng Ke lowered his head, the tip of his nose almost touching mine: "I..."

"Following up is absolutely impossible!"

My heart jumped up and I stretched out my hand to push Cheng Ke's face over.

Cheng Ke looked very natural. In order not to look so low, I had no choice but to hang my neck and pretend I didn't care at all. I took the necessary things and straightened my back to go in. .

Speaking of Tanshen Town, the most terrifying thing is not the graveyard at all, but the toilet.

The toilets here are made of bluestone slabs. They are square and divided into several small compartments, but they come with cool air, which is okay in summer, but it is very cold in autumn and winter.

Especially in the bottomless pit, I always feel that I can stretch out a hand at any time.

There are no wires or lights inside, and now it is a time of dark clouds, and the original bright moonlight is also buried behind.

Fortunately, thanks to Cheng Ke, there is nothing wrong with looking at things in a dim place now, but after entering it, I still can't help but feel a little hairy on my back.

Forget it, just get used to it.

Just about to solve it, I suddenly heard a very clear voice: "Lu Qiao."

Eh?It was a young woman's voice. When I heard it, I thought it was Gong Beibei, and said casually, "Are you here too?"

But that voice just called me, but it didn't respond.

I didn't think much about it, and said after finishing the solution, "You didn't bring a tissue, did you? You're so lucky, you call me little angel, and I'll send it to you."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the cubicle.

The compartment is only separated from the left and right, and the front is unobstructed. I can directly see the inside. I poked my head in, but was stunned.

That cubicle, no one at all.Moreover, not only that one compartment, but the rest of the compartments are completely empty.

And at this moment, that voice sounded out of nowhere: "Lu Qiao."

My heart skipped a beat, and I realized that the voice was flat and dull. It didn't seem like calling someone to find someone, but like reading a book, and popped out two words without emotion, still the kind that ended with a period. Make a closing statement.

Everyone understands in their hearts, isn't the fortune going low?You can also encounter that kind of thing when you go to the toilet.

So I pretended I didn't hear it, and the matter was finished anyway, so I walked outside leisurely, there were too many monsters trying to attack me, and I really didn't pay attention to the one calling for the soul.

But at this moment, the moon emerged from the thick clouds, and the inside of the old toilet was shining brightly. As soon as I lowered my head, I saw a black lump curled up behind my own shadow. , I can barely tell that it is the shadow of a woman with long hair, it is lying on the ground like a gecko, with all fours on the ground, as if it is ready to attack me.

I've heard of the "ghost calls the soul". As long as there is a voice calling your name in the middle of the night, you must never agree. As long as you agree, that thing will take advantage of your response and jump on you. Hook out your soul and replace it, and your body will follow that soul to do whatever it wants.

That is the legendary "ghost upper body".

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling scared for a while, but fortunately I was talking nonsense and didn't respond at all!And that thing... Could it be the "danger" that the dropping of chopsticks today foretells?
After thinking about it, I pretended I didn't see it at all, and walked all the way outside. Suddenly, my ankle felt cold, and my feet seemed to be glued to the ground by super glue, and I couldn't move instantly.

Turning around, sure enough, that dark thing followed behind my shadow persistently, looking ready to move.

It's a trouble... I always call me after me so enthusiastically, what if I accidentally agree at some point.

Since you are so persistent in pursuing me, I have no choice but to be blunt.

Thinking of this, I immediately bled myself, turned around and sprinkled on the black shadow.

"Chi..." The black shadow was caught off guard, and I caught him in a trance, rolling on the ground in pain. It was the first time I saw this kind of thing can be injured all over the ground looking for teeth, and it was really fresh.

A burnt smell spread, like the smell of burning paper at a funeral.

"I'm sorry." I don't know what happened today, I talked a lot, but I chatted with that black shadow: "I'm out of luck, and you are also in trouble. Next time, if you have a chance, you can look for it." Ordinary people, this kind of village that raises ghosts is too dangerous for you..."

Before I finished nagging, that thing suddenly rushed outside and crawled over in a very strange posture. It was fast, faster than a frightened gecko, and it clearly wanted to escape!
"Hey...the one outside is more dangerous than me..."

Before I finished speaking, there was a sound like toilet paper being torn from outside. There was a "wow", crisp and clear.

Then, everything was silent.

Sighing, I thought, maybe when that ghost was eating today, the chopsticks also fell on the ground and broke in two.

After going out the door, I saw that dark thing curled up under Cheng Ke's feet, but it was no longer as stylish and stylish as before, but as broken as a pile of paper.

And Cheng Ke stood tall in the moonlight, with his head sideways, as if nothing had happened, and stretched out his clean, slender and bony hands to me: "Come and see."

"It's not that much hatred, it shouldn't be..." I said, "That thing..."

As a result, when I got closer, I realized that those were really black shreds of paper!

It turns out that the technique of raising ghosts that traps ghosts on the paper and follow the wind to come and go at their beck and call seems to be aimed at me again.

"It's a domesticated ghost." Cheng Ke lowered his head and said, "Follow it and find the right owner."

As he said that, he raised his feet and let the black piece of paper float away from the ground and scattered in the night wind.

This kind of ghost raising technique can "recognize the door", just like a hunting dog. After the task assigned by the owner is completed, it can return to the owner in line with the concept of energy saving and environmental protection.

"It seems that our luck may not be so bad." Cheng Ke tilted his head, and Ren Yefeng made his bangs flutter: "This thing came at a good time."

I saw that on the scraps of paper that flew away just now, the method Cheng Ke used when he tracked down the ghost groom last time was attached, so that if he followed the traces tomorrow, he would know who sent it.

But...they have thousands of methods, why use such a method that has no advantages?
On the one hand, if this thing alarms us, it will easily make us vigilant, and it will be even more difficult for them to catch me. On the other hand, this kind of thing's "recognition" feature will become a clue to guide us to chase the past , Isn't this self-exposing its shortness?
One possibility is to feint and continue to attract us with this, digging a hole for us to jump in, and another possibility is that someone secretly used this kind of thing to inform us where the second grandpa and the others are.

The one who released this thing was the second grandpa, or the earrings...

Forget it, originally, this time, I was ready to jump into the pit. If I have a clue, I just go after it. It doesn't matter if I fight to the death and the net is broken. If it can end, then end it as soon as possible.

"Okay!" Suddenly, in the silence, Wei Jiuye's voice sounded particularly loud and suddenly behind us: "That thing, the so-called broken iron shoes, can't find a place, you can get it for free, and you can give it yourself. Don’t worry, I’ve come to the door, this thing, I moved a little bit just now, following that trick, I can find where the real master is!”

It also alarmed Wei Jiuye.

And Wei Jiuye's voice was so loud, Luo Weilan naturally heard it long ago, and poked her head out of the window: "What's the matter, do you have a clue?"

Now, what the fourth aunt said was hidden from outsiders, but it was all in vain, and this trip requires all the staff to mobilize again.

However, Cheng Ke still looked very relaxed, as if he had already made up his mind.

I, who was a little nervous at first, was also infected by him, and somehow relaxed.

As long as he is there, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"It's so late, you don't sleep, why are you still looking at the stars and the moon?" Suddenly, the voice of the fourth aunt came from not far from the toilet: "Hurry up and go back to the room, it's too noisy!"

"Xiuying, don't be angry..."

It was the sound of closing the window that answered Wei Jiuye.

When I woke up, I felt that I slept very comfortably. When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn. Cheng Ke was not by my side as usual, no wonder it was very warm.Sitting up rubbing his eyes, he saw Cheng Ke looking at something by the window.

I got up too, and followed his line of sight to look outside, and saw that where the piece of paper drifted past yesterday, there was a slight trace, heading west, very faint, if you don't look carefully, you can almost see it. not see.

At this time, the fourth aunt was walking past the window, and there was a pot of green things.

I stretched out my head and asked, "Fourth aunt, in your basin..."

"Wow..." Suddenly Cheng Ke dragged me back, and a small tile almost fell from the eaves against my scalp, hit the ground, and a shattered tile bloomed in front of my eyes. .

If Cheng Ke doesn't drag me there, then my head...

This feeling of brushing shoulders with death sent chills down the spine.

The fourth aunt stared at the tile, sighed, shook the basin, and said, "It's for you, come here quickly."

There is really no one whose fortune is low.

I jumped out from under the eaves protecting my head, and followed my fourth aunt into the bathroom. I saw my fourth aunt put down the basin, pointed at the shiny green thing, and said, "Fortunately, there is still this season. It’s not good to say, you wash your face quickly.”

I looked down and saw the green things, which turned out to be poplar leaves and willow leaves immersed in a basin of clear water.

The leaves of the willow tree are soaked in the well water overnight, and the next day they are used to wash the face, and they will have a very pleasant fragrance, but this is the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival, and now the frost is coming...

Before I could ask, the fourth aunt said naturally: "I'll wash you off. Hurry up. After washing this kind of thing, within twelve hours, low-level ghosts won't be able to see you. It's a form of protection."

I hurriedly washed my face according to the words, but just after washing, before I had time to wipe it off, I heard a "swoosh", and my fourth aunt suddenly picked up a branch and hit me.

I was caught off guard and wanted to hide, but even with the technique of yin and yang to ward off ghosts, I couldn't hide from the fourth aunt who was as strong as Tianshan's child grandmother, and was beaten several times.

"oops……"

The fourth aunt silently counted the dragon well, then took back the branch and said: "Okay, it's over."

"It's a peach branch..." I finally saw it clearly.

Naturally, Taozhi also fights ghosts and filth.

It's just that the fourth aunt's strength is too great, it really hurts...

"I also saw the black paper from yesterday," the fourth aunt suddenly lowered her voice, and said, "When you pass by today, you must be careful in everything, hide as much as you can, it's okay to admit cowardice, whoever protects you, It’s better to protect yourself than yourself.”

"I see." I nodded quickly: "The direction to the west should be the ancestral grave of our Yang family, right?"

The fourth aunt nodded, showing a suspicious look, and said, "Why, where is it..."

It is only possible that there is something useful in the ancestral tomb.

Ancestral graves... Corpses...

"Is there any food?" Luo Weilan's hair is messed up every time he wakes up, like a world war. This time it is the same as the last time I saw it in Xichuan, it looks like a ball of fried mushroom cloud.

"The kitchen." The fourth aunt said: "The lotus leaf pearl rice porridge, and the piggy's jar has sugar in it."

After eating and drinking enough, a large group of people followed Wei Jiuye's lead and rushed to the ancestral grave to the west.

The ancestral grave is not too far away from the ancestral hall, and it is only a few steps away. Although I have heard of this place, it is the first time I have visited it.

The tombstone is very wide, because it is an old cemetery for hundreds of years, it looks particularly magnificent and solemn.

Those tiny traces are becoming a thin line, winding forward.

Luo Weilan is a foreigner, before entering the cemetery, she knelt down and said some words of apology.Especially tactful and courteous, as soon as Wei Jiuye was old, Da Lala came in instead, as if wandering in his ancestral grave: "Wei Yang doesn't separate families, Wei Yang doesn't separate families, he's not an outsider."

I know that I am in a special situation now, so I followed the large army cautiously, for fear of causing trouble to them because of my luck.

But when they got to the middle of the cemetery, the tracks actually spread out, scattered like pieces of paper, everywhere.

My heart sank, could it be that we were discovered, and the other party wanted to do this on purpose, so as to confuse us in the direction we were looking for?

"Seperately look for them!" Wei Jiuye commanded vigorously: "I'll go to the south, Luo Weilan will look for the north, and you, Lu Qiao, will look for the west."

The tasks were assigned so quickly.I quickly held Cheng Ke's hand: "Is this close enough?"

Cheng Ke's thin lips curled up: "You should be careful."

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, I absolutely don't want to die again.

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,, like woodpeckers.

But there are no trees around.

"Don't look," Cheng Ke raised his perfectly shaped chin in the direction of a large tomb: "It's over there."

I followed Cheng Ke's line of sight to look there, only to realize that the sound of "Knock Ko" came from inside the tomb!
In the grave...is there someone?
I hurriedly held Cheng Ke's hand tighter, and at this moment, a white and bloodless hand suddenly stretched out from behind the tombstone, beckoning at us, "You guys are here!"
