Chen Xiu didn't have time to think about it, so she ran towards the house where the sound was coming from, and found the old Taoist priest.

After he walked over, the surroundings were still very calm. When he was outside the village, it was about seventy or eighty steps away, or about a hundred meters.

From such a long distance, the voice of the old Taoist priest can still be vaguely distinguished, indicating that the voice at that time should be very loud.

However, when it got closer, there was no sound at all?
Isn't this strange?
He walked around to the back of the house, and immediately looked at the situation behind with vigilance, but when he saw everything clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The backyard is actually the backyard of a farmer's house, with a lot of miscellaneous things piled up.

These are normal.

What is not normal is that there is a lot of blood on the ground.

There is also a big bone-chopping knife next to it, also called a pig-killing knife. The pig-killing knife is usually used to kill pigs, but here, it is hard to say what it is for killing.

Chen Xiu couldn't help shivering when he thought of the scene where the old Taoist was pinned to the ground, and then the people next to him swung a butcher's knife and chopped him down.

The old Taoist priest of Yingming I should not die so miserably when he is old.

Chen Xiu hurriedly followed the direction of the bloodstain to find it.

The bloodstain was very long, and it didn't go towards the door of this family, but went farther and farther, as if towards the middle of the village.

Where is this going?Was it Zhang Zhongdao who was bleeding?Who did it?Is it the villagers of Fengmen Village, or those ghosts?
The old Taoist should be fine...

Chen Xiu walked towards the village with a confused mind.

When I walked all the way to the middle of the village, there was a faint noise again, and it looked like a bustling crowd.

In the middle of the village is a three-room house with a hall in the middle.

The gate is surrounded by a fence. I don't know what a good day it is, and it is covered with red silk. It looks like there is a happy event.

Chen Xiu saw the blood all the way to the family's back hall, so she also wanted to go in and have a look.

There are many people in the yard, about twenty or thirty.

There are still in the back room. Chen Xiu estimated that there are not too many people in this village, and about half of the people are here.

He just lifted his foot and walked inside when suddenly, someone pulled him.

As soon as he turned his head, he was suddenly surprised: "Why are you here?"

Chen Xiu was a little surprised.

He always thought that Zhang Zhongdao was being served inside with a kitchen knife as a dish at noon, but he didn't expect this old Taoist to be guarding the door.

Zhang Zhongdao raised a finger towards Chen Xiu, beckoning him to keep his voice down, and then asked, "What do you want, kid?"

"I just heard your voice outside and saw blood, and I plan to go in and save you."

Hearing Chen Xiu's words, the old Taoist immediately rolled his eyes. How could he need Chen Xiu to save him!

Moreover, Chen Xiu wasn't saving someone, maybe he was giving someone's head away.

After thinking about it, the old Taoist felt that he still needed to remind Chen Xiu that this kid seemed timid, but sometimes he was a little courageous, a bit silly and bold.

"Fortunately, I pulled it fast just now, otherwise, if you get stuck, you will have to save me." The old Taoist said a little speechlessly.

After finishing speaking, the old Taoist looked inside, as if he was looking at the situation inside.

The situation inside is a bit weird.

There were obviously hundreds of people, and there was quite a lot of noise. When Chen Xiu saw the inside, everyone stood there like a wooden stake.

Chen Xiu asked curiously: "What's going on here? Also, what happened to that scream just now? I thought you were gone."

Hearing Chen Xiu's words, a black line appeared on the old Taoist's forehead, and he knocked on Chen Xiu's forehead, and said angrily.

"What are you talking about? You just keep cursing me to death, right?"

Chen Xiu felt aggrieved: "To be honest, if you weren't here, I might not have come in so quickly."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongdao's complexion became a little better, and this kid still has a bit of conscience.

After teaching Chen Xiu a lesson, the old Taoist didn't hide anything, and said directly to Chen Xiu, "Actually, I came a little earlier than you."

The wellhead actually appeared after the four-square seal was opened.

Before that, even though Chen Xiu and the others walked past Mengjia Village several times, they had never seen the dry well.

The old Taoist continued: "After I entered the village, I looked around. I found that everyone in this village has some problems."

"What's the problem?" Chen Xiu asked.

Zhang Zhongdao opened his mouth, thought for a while and said: "You will know when you see it later, but now I tell you that you don't understand."

Zhang Zhongdao dismissed Chen Xiu with one sentence.

Chen Xiu pouted.

What are you pulling? I don’t even understand what it means?
Zhang Zhongdao ignored Chen Xiu's petty emotions, and continued, "I found out that the people here are probably doing something big..."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xiu immediately interrupted: "What's the big deal?"

Zhang Zhongdao's words were swallowed, and he said angrily, "Why don't you say it?"

Chen Xiu died down immediately, and muttered, "The old man's temper is getting worse and worse. No wonder he was almost beaten to death at such an old age."

Zhang Zhongdao: "..."

If possible, he really wanted to beat this kid to death, but after thinking about it, there was still plenty of time to deal with this kid in the future, so he was not in a hurry.

He went on to say: "I went to inquire about it and found out that it was the [-]th birthday of the old lady of this family."

"Do ghosts celebrate their [-]th birthday?" Chen Xiu was curious.

He didn't ask Zhang Zhongdao how he communicated with those ghosts.

Zhang Zhongdao explained: "Actually, some ghosts don't necessarily know that they have become ghosts."

For ghosts, this is actually a very normal thing.

Especially for many ghosts who died without accidents, their souls have not been guided and have been floating in the human world. It really takes a long time to realize that they are dead.

Chen Xiu didn't get too entangled in this matter, and cast a glance at the family, "No wonder there are red decorations hanging everywhere, it turned out to be the [-]th birthday."

At that time in the Song Dynasty, it was already a rare year to live to the age of 50, and it was rare to see people at the age of 60. Even if they had their [-]th birthday, local gentry officials would come to congratulate them.

Because it is impossible for ordinary people to live for such a long time.

90 years old, at that time, it was indeed an old birthday person, no matter what kind of family he was in, he should take good care of it.

However, what did the old Taoist call it just now, when people hold other people's birthdays?Have a dime relationship with you?
Chen Xiu was a little confused, the old Taoist was speechless, after thinking about it, he decided to tell Chen Xiu this tragic fact, anyway, he would know sooner or later.

"Do you know what they do for birthdays?"
