Chapter 425 Second Uncle Asks for Help
We didn't go directly to Zhangjia Village, we took a detour on the road and sent Mr. Hu home first.

Don't look at Mr. Hu's old age and his old heart. In fact, the old man is still very curious about cursing antiques.

However, considering the old man's physical condition, I was afraid that he would be frightened into something bad, so I insisted on sending him back first.

The dilapidated Poussin was driving unsteadily on the country road. It rained last night, and the dirt road was muddy and full of stagnant water.

Before the car drove into Zhangjia Village, I noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the village.

My heart tightened. The third aunt didn't explain the matter clearly on the phone, and the second uncle's phone has never been connected. Up to now, I still don't know what happened in the village.

Ghost detective Xu turned the steering wheel, the car turned a corner and drove towards the village.

A big yellow dog at the entrance of the village barked wildly at this side, and several big white geese flapped their wings and ran to the nearby pond.

"Where are the people in the village, why didn't I see any of them?" Fatty Wang opened the car window.

"Let's go, let's go to my second uncle's house." I stretched out my arms to show Ghost Detective Xu the way.

The second uncle's small courtyard is still the same. To my surprise, the second uncle is not at home.

"Listen, there is a lot of noise in the east of the village, what happened?" Ghost Detective Xu listened carefully, then said suddenly.

"That's my old uncle's house. I haven't visited his old man's house for many years." I frowned slightly.

The tone of the third aunt's phone call was very urgent. Something must have happened in the village, and I was a little worried.

Just as I was about to go and have a look, my phone rang suddenly. I picked it up and saw that it was my second uncle calling.

"Second uncle, what's the matter, the phone has been disconnected, and you are not at home?" I answered the phone and asked in a hurried tone.

"I can't explain a few words clearly, you come to my uncle's house first." The second uncle's voice sounded a little tired.

My scalp tightened, and I walked outside quickly, asking what happened in the end.

But before he finished speaking, the second uncle hung up the phone. In my impression, the second uncle has always been calm, and it is rare to see him so impatient.

Outside the old uncle's small courtyard, there was a circle of people, men, women and children, all whispering and discussing.

"No wonder no one is seen in the whole village, and the feelings are all here." Fatty Wang narrowed his small eyes and looked at it.

I didn't speak, my face was a little dignified, and I quickened my pace.

"Sin, my uncle was fine a few days ago, why did he get this strange disease all of a sudden?"

"I look at it like that, it doesn't look like a disease, do you think it's bewitched?"

"Third Aunt's talisman water has always been effective, but this time it doesn't seem to work, and Aunt Zhang also has the same symptoms. You don't think it's some kind of infectious disease?"

"Second Uncle Zhang is quite capable. I hope he can find a way, otherwise, what will happen if this continues."

Before I entered the old uncle's yard, I heard the villagers' comments, and subconsciously felt that this matter had something to do with cursing the antiques, and my heart became more and more anxious.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Zhang? When did you come back?" A aunt who had her hair permed and was dressed in a foreign style greeted loudly.

"Aunt Cuilan, I haven't seen you for a while, you are getting more and more foreign." I didn't stop walking, and responded with a smile.

As soon as I entered the small courtyard, I paused, squinted my eyes and looked around, and felt a familiar atmosphere.

"Why is there such a strong smell of Chinese medicine?" Fatty Wang muttered softly.

"Many people surrounded the main room." Ghost Detective Xu looked around the yard.

The old uncle's yard has been around for quite some time. In a village like ours with the same surname, the clan is very powerful. For several generations, the old uncle's ancestors are all respected clan elders in Zhangjia Village.

However, in our generation, young people take things like clans lightly.

Therefore, the old uncle's status in Zhangjia Village, that is, a respectable old man, cannot be compared with the influence of his ancestors in Zhangjia Village.

But even so, the old uncle is still very respected in the eyes of the older generation.

If something happened to another villager, it might not be possible to make such a big commotion.

Before I entered the main room, the second uncle saw me. He stood at the door of the main room and waved to me.

A thin little old lady came out with a sad face. She was the third aunt, the witch in the village.

"Xiaofan is back, your second uncle was talking about you just now." The third aunt was slightly taken aback when she saw me, and greeted me with a wry smile.

I nodded, as a response. I don't know much about the third aunt, and many of my impressions are from my childhood.

At that time, the third aunt was not so old, she always liked to wear colorful clothes, and she was very prestigious in the village, because her talisman water could cure all diseases.

I was very naughty when I was a child, and I took my little friends in the village to fish for fish and shrimps, and I often did some pranks, but I was in awe of my third aunt, and I ran away from her when I met her on weekdays.

However, after I practiced the secrets of the Broken Physiognomy, the mysterious veil of the third aunt is no longer mysterious in my eyes.

The so-called talisman water that can cure all diseases, in my eyes, is just some small witchcrafts. It is okay to cure a headache and brain fever, but it is completely useless in more complicated situations.

"Second Uncle, what's the situation?" I was a little puzzled, because in my impression, Second Uncle is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business.

Because the second uncle liked to drink heavily in the past, in the eyes of the villagers, he was a decadent drunk.

Therefore, I can understand that the third aunt appeared here, but why the second uncle was pushed out to preside over the overall situation made me a little puzzled.

"If it wasn't for Uncle Zhang's help this time, his uncle might not be able to survive. Uncle Zhang is very low-key. I have been neighbors for so many years, and I don't know that he can heal diseases besides looking at Feng Shui." The third aunt's tone was somewhat flattering. .

I looked at my second uncle with a questioning look, waiting for his answer.

The second uncle sighed, pointed inside, and said, "The situation is a bit complicated, so go in and have a look first."

With some doubts, I walked into the dimly lit main room. Most of the people standing inside were elderly people.

In the middle of the main room, there were two straw mats, on which lay a thin old man and a peasant woman with a dark complexion respectively.

The skinny old man is an old uncle. Although his appearance has changed a bit, I can still recognize him.

The dark-complexioned peasant woman was a bit unfamiliar, and I didn't recognize it for a while.

The old uncle lay motionless on the ground, looking as if he was half dead, only the slight heaving of his chest indicated that he was still alive.

"Why are you lying on the ground? It's so humid." I asked a little puzzled.

"See what's going on?" Second Uncle asked.

"It doesn't look like I'm bewitched, what do you think?" I blinked and looked sideways at my second uncle.

In fact, the moment I saw my old uncle, I knew that his symptoms were definitely related to cursing antiques.

However, I still want to hear my second uncle's opinion, because I don't understand the whole story at all.

"Look carefully, especially the arms." The second uncle stood aside, his eyes a little dignified.

I glanced at my second uncle, slowly bent down, and pulled up my second uncle's sleeve. The red filaments wriggling on his arm caught my eyes.

"Lianhunsi!" I exclaimed, even though I had expected it, I couldn't help but take a step back.

"You know this thing too? I thought you wouldn't recognize it." The second uncle's tone was a little surprised.

Of course I know, and I have also been hit by the soul thread, but it is not suitable to tell the second uncle these things for the time being.

Seeing this evil fungus again, I subconsciously touched my trouser pocket, where there was a blue bead.

It's a pity that the soul thread on the old uncle's body obviously came from another mother's body, so the blue soul beads couldn't suppress the spread of the red thread.

"Did the old uncle buy any antiques recently?" I walked up to my second uncle and asked in a low voice.

"No, the old uncle went to the back mountain, and suddenly passed out when he came back." The second uncle explained in a low voice.

"Who is next to uncle?" I asked, staring at the dark peasant woman.

"It belongs to your Uncle Zhang Wang's family. The old uncle is getting old. She was invited to take care of the old uncle." The second uncle said.

I walked over and looked at the dark peasant woman's arm. There were also some red threads on it, but the number was obviously much smaller.

"When did she become unconscious?" I turned around and asked my second uncle.

"Shortly after your uncle passed out, you should be careful not to get on that thread." The second uncle confessed worriedly.

I stood up slowly, I didn't pay attention to it just now, only then did I realize that a simple formation was arranged on the ground.

"This Countercurrent Condensation Formation was arranged by my second uncle?" I turned around.

The countercurrent condensing cold formation is a very simple formation with a single effect. It can use the energy of the earth veins to reduce the biological activity around it.

"Lianhunsi is very troublesome, and I have no good solution for the time being. I can only use this formation to put the soulsi in a semi-hibernating state." The second uncle gave a wry smile.

"Then why do you want me to come back?" I looked at my second uncle puzzled.

The second uncle was about to answer when his voice was interrupted by the noise outside. There seemed to be some dispute outside, and the voice was getting closer.

"What's going on?" I walked towards the door suspiciously.

"Why are you stopping me? My father is sick, why don't you let me be sent to the hospital?" A middle-aged man walked towards this side very angrily.

The third aunt anxiously pulled the other's arm and kept saying something in a small voice that I couldn't hear clearly.

"Don't tell me those ghostly things, I don't believe in it." The middle-aged man looked bored.

"Why is he back at this time?" The second uncle muttered to himself.

"Is he the son of the old uncle?" I stared at the middle-aged man, who had a bit of imagination with the old uncle, and the suit on his body was expensive.

"Pretending to be decent, most likely because of my old uncle's inheritance." An old man in the village stood by the wall and sneered.

"My father has been lost for many years, and he didn't pay attention to it, but he came back at this time, hum." Someone beside him echoed.
