Chapter 105 Chapter 17 Second Uncle

At 6 o'clock in the morning, we all gathered in the ancestral hall, and our cousin and several old people who knew about it were all called over. The gutter was blocked by the third uncle with stones, and then filled with rice bran and white cement. In addition, the third uncle blocked all the drains in the house.Those snails were shoveled aside, smashed and burned. The winter sky is not yet bright, only a little gray, and the rituals of the nine coffins have been completed, and they can be buried at noon today, but this grand ceremony, which was originally grand, is completely unimportant. We are surrounded by the brazier, only feeling gloomy and creepy atmosphere of.

"Who is that Taoist priest who said to release the snails? I put him in the latrine and drowned him." The third uncle said bitterly. The cousin snorted, "Now it's useless even if you let him drown the latrine." He coughed a few times as an old man, obviously not sleeping well: "Let's figure out what's going on." "I think it's a fucking haunted ghost." One person said. "Have you ever seen a ghost like this?" Cao Erdaozi sneered, "Either your third master's ghost looks like this." That man was Third Uncle's buddy, and he immediately glared at him, "You know what, have you been to the ground before?"

The cousin waved his hand to stop him: "Okay, let's wait until this matter is resolved, I don't want to hear such nonsense." The man shrank back, and the cousin said to the second uncle: "Wu Erbai, you are a dog-headed master, and you are usually delicate. Don't keep talking, tell me what you think about this matter." The second uncle didn't talk much on such occasions, but now when asked, he could only frowned and said: "I can't say for sure, but I feel that this matter may be caused by someone." "What a ghost?" Cousin shook his head, and told the story of the ghost image he saw that the mud snail gathered for three hours: "I saw it with my own eyes, can it be fake?"

"There is always an explanation for everything, it's a matter of high probability and low probability." The second uncle said. "Oh, tell me." The cousin said with interest. "For example, you are the one who caused the ghost, and the matter can be explained." The second uncle said: "Who knows what you said is true or not. Niluo, this is the countryside, so there are as many as you want." The cousin patted the table and said, "Nonsense." "I'm just giving you an example." The second uncle said: "If it makes sense, whatever makes sense, I can also say that the ghost of the female corpse is attached to those snails, whatever you say, we think it's useless .”

Cao Er Daozi said: "Then what do you think we should do now? Mobilize the whole village to kill snails?" The second uncle shook his head and said: "What we should do is to find out why there is an extra coffin in the ancestral grave. This is the origin of the matter. Knowing this, it will be easy to guess later." Everyone was silent, obviously what the second uncle said was right. "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult. This coffin has been around for too long, and the old man is gone. I'm afraid it will always be a mystery." Biao Gong said. "Is there only one?" Second Uncle asked.

"It seems to be really—" As soon as he said this, I suddenly felt familiar. As soon as I thought about it, I remembered: "Cousin, didn't you say that there is a Xu Aqin who is over 100 years old in another village? He also helped us build an ancestral hall. Let's go Ask him." The cousin's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Yes, there is a Xu Aqin." But then he frowned: "I don't know how he is. He is over 100 years old. Can you remember what happened at that time?" "Xu Aqin?" The third uncle muttered, as if he had some impression.

"This matter must be weird. If he knows, it will definitely leave a deep impression on him." The second uncle said: "Anyway, now only dead horses are used as living horse doctors. I don't want to run away when I see snails in the future." road."
