The years of reselling the haunted house

Chen Jinhua was about to leave after speaking, and I hurriedly said, "Don't go, senior, you haven't told me where my third uncle is yet."

Chen Jinhua shrugged his shoulders: "I can't help you with this, I only know that he entered the ghost market, but as for where, I don't know."

"What? You... Didn't you say you could tell me where my third uncle is?"

Chen Jinhua waved his hand: "When did I say that? It's all your own thinking. Hurry up, or you won't be able to get out by yourself."

As she spoke, Chen Jinhua shook the long sleeves of her costume, and after turning around, her figure gradually dimmed.

Chapter 1242 Red Loach

"Hey, don't go." Although I kept calling her, I couldn't stop Chen Jinhua's figure from gradually disappearing.

I stomped my feet, but I didn't expect Chen Jinhua to be this kind of person.She used Uncle San as a cover to lure me here, but in the end she said she didn't know where Uncle San was. Isn't this a rogue act?

Despite the resentment in my heart, there was nothing I could do about her.She has also figured out that I will definitely help her find her son, because only when I find Chenchen can I have the capital to bargain with her. We must break that curse.

I thought about going back to meet Su Jin, and then going back to the old locust tree to wait for the gathering.As a result, at this moment, I suddenly discovered that there was something strange in the place where Chen Jinhua had just stood still.

The ground under her feet had the effect of water ripples.

I suddenly remembered that when Chen Jinhua brought me here just now, she pointed to the ground under her feet and said that it was her grave.

I believe that Chen Jinhua will not bring me here for no reason. She found me on this ground. Could it be that there are other hidden secrets?

I moved a little closer to where Chen Jinhua was standing, and squatted down to observe carefully.

I thought it was because of my vision, but I found water ripples in that place, but when I squatted down, I realized that there was actually a small puddle there.

The water in the puddle is clear and transparent, and the amount of water is not large. It seems that it is as large as a bowl.

Through the water, the ground can be clearly seen.Silt has formed under the puddle, and in the mud, it seems that something is surging.

It is these things that are surging below, causing circles of ripples to appear on the water surface of this puddle, which in my opinion is the effect of water ripples.

Could it be that there are fish under the mud?I looked curious, but I didn't dare to fish it out, so I took off the dragon-subduing wooden sword on my body, directly used the sword to stick it into the puddle, and dipped into the mud below to stir it.

As a result, after such agitation, a few small red fish suddenly rushed up from under the mud.Although I stirred up the mud, the water quality was not affected at all, and I could clearly see the small fish swimming in the water, very lively.

"What kind of fish is this?" I squatted down and carefully observed the little red fish swimming in the water.

The bodies of those fish are very thin, with two beards growing on their heads, they look similar in shape to loaches.It's just that these loaches turned out to be red, and I've never seen such a red loach.

In the mud under the puddle, there should be many similar red loaches, they kept surging.

I really didn't understand what was going on, so I saw the details of the puddle clearly, and I remembered the appearance of the red loach, and I was going to ask my third uncle if I had the opportunity.

I left the puddle and went to find Su Jin.

Su Jin was standing on the side of the road, looking forward to my side. Seeing me come out, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li Yang, it's great that you're back. There's still an hour left before the gathering time. gone."

I nodded: "That's just right, let's go back to that old locust tree and wait for the gathering, let's go..."

As I said that, I waved to Su Jin and wanted to find the old locust tree.

Who knew that I had just taken two steps and found that Su Jin hadn't followed.I turned around in surprise and found Su Jin standing there with a look of grief on his face.

"Su Jin, what's the matter with you?" I was taken aback, thinking something happened to Su Jin when I was not here, so I hurriedly asked.

Su Jin waved her hand: "It's okay, I'm fine."

Only then did I feel relieved, and asked again: "It's fine, then you..."

Su Jin said: "It's almost time to gather, and the sky is about to dawn, I... have to go too..."

"You have to go, where are you going?" I asked subconsciously, but I immediately realized that what I asked was an idiot question. Su Jin is a ghost, a female ghost who appeared in an ancient painting.Of course, she can't stay with me for a long time. It's time for her to go back to the ancient paintings after we've gathered and dispersed.

During the time when I was shopping with Su Jin, I completely regarded her as my friend, and I didn't treat her as a ghost at all, so I subconsciously asked that question after hearing her say that she was going to leave .

When I realized it, I quickly took off the ancient painting on my body and said, "I forgot, it's time for you to return to the painting."

Su Jin nodded, and said, "Li Yang, I'm very happy to be able to visit ghost fairs with you..."

I also smiled: "I am also very happy."

"really?"

"Of course it's true, I haven't visited Jiji for a long time. Thank you..."

Su Jin finally smiled, and said reluctantly: "Then Li Yang, don't forget your promise to me this time."

I nodded: "I won't forget this time, I will come to see you when I have time. You see, now I know how to find you, when the moonlight is sufficient, or when the 15th day of the lunar new year, Use that little bronze mirror to shine on the ancient painting, and you can be found."

"Yes. Then I'll leave, and...it's not easy to get out of this ghost town, and those old seniors have no better way. You have to think about how to get out of here." Su Jin said, holding her hand Picking up the yellow dress I bought at Guiji, I shook it: "Here, thank you for the gift. Next time, I will wear it to see you."

After finishing speaking, Su Jin didn't wait for me to fully unfold the ancient painting, her body became weaker and weaker, and quickly turned into a ball of fresh air, and got into the ancient painting.

Holding the ancient painting, I feel like everything is in a dream again.This ghost came and left as soon as it said it, and it seemed to be in a mythical world.

After Su Jin entered the ancient painting, when I touched the ancient painting, it seemed to be wet again.

Unexpectedly, this time I entered the ghost collection and unlocked a new skill by accident, which is how to summon Su Jin with a small bronze mirror.If you encounter something you don't understand in Xuanmen, you can ask her, because there are a few old guys there to help her.

I took the ancient painting and continued to run back. According to my previous memory, I found the location of the old locust tree and cypress easily.As a matter of urgency, I have two things to do, one is to meet the old manager, and the other is to think of a way to leave the ghost market.

But before I ran to the place, I saw a figure swaying under the old pagoda tree.

I was startled, and quickly squatted down.I didn't see who it was, I thought there was another ghost coming.Chen Jinhua said that there are still ghost soldiers maintaining order in this ghost collection. If the ghost soldiers find out, then I may not be able to go back.

However, I saw that figure was quite familiar, and I recognized it after careful identification. The man was the old man in charge.

Chapter 1243 The Death of Sun Xingwang

I remembered that the old Guantou once said that he would come to me before the gathering.Because of Chen Jinhua's incident in the middle, I let the old Guantou's affairs go, but I didn't expect him to come on time now.

And when I arrived at the ghost market, I became busy.

I stood up and ran towards the old locust tree. When the old manager found me, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are back. Where did you go? You can't walk around in this place." do you know?"

I chuckled: "Uncle Guan, you came early, I haven't thanked you for the ghost meal."

The old Guantou grinned: "You boy, I don't know whether to really thank me or ridicule me for saying this."

I waved my hand: "Of course I thank you, after all, I was discovered by those hell flamingos because I didn't eat your ghost food."

The old Guantou nodded: "That's right. You're lucky to have met me, kid. Don't worry, I can't eat this ghost food outside, but I'm fine if I eat it in this ghost market. If I don't eat it, it will cause problems. "

I looked at the old manager in front of me, he didn't seem to have any malice towards me, and he didn't have any intention of harming me, otherwise he wouldn't have given me a ghost meal and helped me through that crisis.

But when the fat man and I followed him two days ago, he was tricking us into eating that damn meal.We must know that we hadn't entered the ghost fair at that time, and we would die if we ate the ghost food.

Thinking of this, I asked, "Uncle Guan, are you the one who made our noodles that night?"

The old Guantou obviously understood what I meant, sighed, and said: "You are so smart, you can't fail to see it. I did it for people to watch that day, even if you eat my ghost food, With them, you will not die, I know it well."

I was taken aback: "It was Li Weiwei who made it for others to see? He was the only one outside at that time."

The old Guantou shook his head: "It's Li Weiwei, but I'm not afraid of him, it's someone else."

"There are other people, then I know, Niubiancao must have sent someone to threaten you, right? My third uncle and I have already figured this out."

The old Guantou nodded: "Probably. I am so old, I just want to live the rest of my life in peace. Although I often go to ghost fairs, I don't want to be this ghost from the bottom of my heart. I can live, Who wants to die."

"Uncle Guan, you are human, but why do you always come in and sell them ghost food? Is it to make money? But isn't the money you earn also ghost money? What's the use?" I asked.

"I came to Ghost Market by accident. Do you... know my relationship with Chen Jinhua's family?"

I shook my head and asked, "What's the relationship between you and Chen Jinhua's family?"

The old manager said: "When Xingwang was alive, he and I were in the same squad, and he was my squad leader. We have a very good relationship. On the day of the accident, I also went down the mine with him. I watched helplessly. What happened to him. Do you think it was an accident? Let me tell you, it was not an accident at all. I suspect that there is something inside. "

I was taken aback: "An inside story? Uncle Guan, what's going on?"

The old manager smiled wryly, and said: "Actually, you want me to tell you what the inside story is, I really can't tell. I just have a feeling that things were not easy that day. It wasn't our shift that day, it was a temporary notice. , let's go down the well. Let's go down, but after we went there, we found out that only the two of us went down the well. But the work is not much, and there is overtime pay. We didn't think much about it, just followed the normal procedure down the well..."

While reminiscing, the old manager talked about the events of that year.

In fact, when we came to investigate this curse incident, we didn't include Sun Xingwang in it at the beginning.Although Sun Xingwang is also a man, it was Chen Jinhua who cast the curse, Sun Xingwang's wife.The two of them should be on the same front.What's more, Sun Xingwang was the first one to have an accident among these few, and he had nothing to do with this curse.

So after we came, we didn't even think about bringing Sun Xingwang's death into it, as it might make more and more chaos.But I didn't expect that when I met the old Guantou today, he first talked about Sun Xingwang back then.

Now that he brought it up, and he also mentioned the so-called inside story, this aroused my great interest, and I listened patiently.

The old Guantou spoke in a slow, unhurried, but orderly manner.He continued: "We changed our clothes and went down the well. Everything went smoothly. We arrived at the work site. Our task that day was to clean up the silt there. We dug out the deposited silt, put it on the car, and then pushed Go to a fixed place. The work is not complicated, and we do it often, so the progress is very fast, and it will be completed in less than two hours. But that day I found that the mood of Xingwang seemed to be low, and I just worked hard. Didn't talk to me much. Later, when we were about to leave, something happened suddenly. There was a landslide in the mine, and a lot of stones and mud poured down. In fact, we haven't had any accidents in the mine for a long time Yeah, I don't know what happened that day, it happened so suddenly. I have little experience, and I was shocked..."

The old Guantou's face was serious at this time, his face was cold, as if he still had lingering fears when he remembered what happened back then.It is conceivable that a landslide in the mine should be such a serious accident.

The old manager calmed down for a while, and then said: "The situation at that time was very critical, and it was hard to imagine if you were not there. We were really dying, and Xingwang dragged me to a safe place to hide. The stones fell one after another, and in order to save me, he was hit by the falling stones. Later, the landslide stopped, and the two of us were trapped underground. But Xingwang’s injuries were serious, and he couldn’t see it. I screamed desperately He, he barely opened his eyes and said a few words to me."

When a person is dying, what he can say to the people around him must be the most important thing in his own opinion.Perhaps the inside story that the old Guantou said came from here.

Seeing the old manager talking, I felt a little anxious, so I relieved the atmosphere, nodded and said, "It turns out that Sun Xingwang was stoned to save you, so what did he tell you at that time?"

"Xingwang was seriously injured, so he barely managed to say a few words to me. The first sentence was: Sanjun, help me take care of your sister-in-law and nephew..."

I nodded. Before Sun Xingwang died, he was still worried about his wife and children. This is also the responsibility and responsibility of a man in charge of the family.He and the old Guantou got along like brothers, and it was reasonable to entrust him like this before he died.

The old Guantou continued: "Of course I agreed in tears. Xingwang then said the second sentence..."

Chapter 1244 Dying Words

"The second sentence... what did he say?"

"What he said was...Ma Xianfeng is not a good person, he...he..." the old manager said in a deep voice.

When the old manager said this, he suddenly stopped, and I hurriedly asked: "He...he what? Finish your sentence..."

The old Guantou shook his head: "I've already finished speaking. At that time, Xingwang was dying, so I didn't finish this sentence at all. Although I was also in a hurry, Xingwang couldn't say that complete sentence in the end."

I shook my head secretly, this is just like those bloody TV series, there will be no complete words before dying.

I asked again: "Who is that pioneer horse?"

The old manager replied: "Ma Xianfeng was the person in charge of the mine back then. At that time, the mine had not yet been restructured, and it was still under collective ownership. Later, after the reorganization, it was contracted to Niu Xiancao."

I nodded, suddenly recalled, and said, "No, Mr. Guan. At that time, Sun Xingwang died, and you didn't know what he wanted to say. But it's different now. Sun Xingwang's ghost is in this ghost collection In the city, you and him should be able to talk, didn't you ask what he wanted to say at that time?"

The old Guantou was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "What did you say? Xingwang is also in this ghost collection? No, why...why have I never seen him? What you said is true?"

Seeing the old Guantou's reaction so fiercely, I couldn't make up my mind, so I replied, "Yes...is it true? I don't know him either, but the person Chen Jinhua introduced to me just now should be Sun Xingwang Bar."

The old Guantou nodded: "That's it. That's it for sure, but why didn't Xingwang see me? I really want to know what he wanted to say back then. Yes, he must be resenting me. He entrusted his wife and children to me , but I failed to take good care of them, seeing them die one by one, I'm sorry for Xingwang, it's my fault, he's right for not wanting to see me..."

I saw that the old Guantou fell into self-blame, and quickly waved his hands: "Uncle Guan, let's not talk about this for now, you can continue to talk about what happened after Sun Xingwang's death."

The old Guantou said: "It's nothing after that. Later, the rescue team came from the mine. After I was rescued, I didn't tell anyone about Xingwang's stay. I just took care of Jinhua and Chenchen secretly. In fact, they don't need me to take care of them. They are also taken care of by the other Xu Huang Li Zhao family. I also secretly investigated that Ma Xianfeng, but my ability is limited, and I haven't been able to find out what is wrong with this Ma Xianfeng. Good place. Then came the tragic death of Chenchen, and then the demolition. It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of them..."

I comforted the old Guantou again: "Uncle Guan, these have nothing to do with you, no matter what, you can't be by their side 24 hours a day, can you?"

The old manager smiled miserably: "In this ghost collection, I dare to say anything. In fact, I have a good impression of Jinhua. Back then, Xingwang and I both fell in love with Jinhua, but Xingwang first treated Jinhua. To confess, I am cowardly by nature and dare not express my thoughts. After Xingxing disappeared, I really wanted to talk about my thoughts with Jinhua, but soon Chenchen disappeared, and I was not happy at that time Mention this to her. It's my fault for thinking too much, if I can be with Jin Hua, maybe the following things won't happen."

After hearing what the old Guantou said, I realized that there was such an episode in it.I really don't know if I don't check it. Once I check it, these things hidden under the surface gradually emerge.It turns out that Lao Guantou and Sun Xingwang's family still have such a relationship.

I thought to myself that it seemed that my visit to the ghost market was really not in vain. Although I didn't find my third uncle, I got so much information from the old Guantou. What's more, I actually saw him. The soul of Chen Jinhua who has been dead for many years.

But there is no clue about the third uncle, which makes me very anxious.

However, being anxious at this time won't help much. As for the old manager, I have a basic understanding of his situation.When he was outside, he might be afraid that if he said too much, he would lose his words, so he kept his mouth shut to us and refused to say a word.But in this ghost market, he can be said to know everything about me, which shows that he is willing to cooperate with us in saying some things from his heart.

I definitely won't let go of this opportunity, and I want to learn more clues from him.So I asked again: "Uncle Guan, how did you get into this ghost market? Is it really like what you said before, it's a good show, and if you have nothing to do, you can burn some paper money for these ghosts or something, so you can enter this ghost market to listen to ghosts." Ghost show? I don’t think it’s that easy, does it?”

The old manager nodded: "You are right, it is indeed not that easy, but I am not lying. It is also a coincidence that I was able to enter the ghost market. After Chen Jinhua and Chenchen both died, the people in the mine I personally participated in the burial of their family of three, and the cemetery is in the back mountain. When I am free, I will go to their grave in the back mountain, burn paper money for them, get some offerings, and talk to them Talk. But I also know a little bit about those ghosts and gods. I am afraid that if they take the paper money, they will be jealous of other lonely ghosts and rob them of their money, so I will burn some paper money for other ghosts here .Especially in the two days of the 15th day of the junior high school, I will bring enough paper money and burn some for them. In addition, you know my family handicraft..."

I nodded in response: "The ten-mile-long pavilion on the ancient Mengyang road, the Sanyang stewed noodles are fragrant everywhere."

The old Guantou said: "That's right, Sanyang Braised Noodles is my family's handicraft, and it was well-known in this area back then. When I came to see them in the 15th day of the junior high school, I would also bring some braised noodles I made to them. You know, I came to see them at the grave just out of a symbolic meaning. After all, people and ghosts go their own way, and I didn’t expect them to be able to eat my noodles and spend my money. Who Know, every time when I come next time, I will find that my bowl of chowder is empty and there is nothing left. I thought the noodles were eaten by wild dogs and cats nearby, but I brought Other offerings, such as pastries and fruits, are still left in front of the grave. So it is impossible for wild cats and dogs to eat, which makes me very excited, because before Xingwang's family of three were alive, they liked to eat my food very much Seeing that the bowl was empty, I decided that they must have come to eat my noodles."

The old Guantou talked about the past with eloquence, as if thinking of these things would make him feel very happy.And I also really want to know how he managed to make it to the ghost market when he was making noodles in Yangjian.

Chapter 1245

The old Guantou went on to say: "So one day on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, I brought them Sanyang Braised Noodles again. There were three big bowls in total, and they put them in front of the grave. And I wore a shroud and squatted I walked behind a tree. I heard that wearing a shroud can prevent ghosts from seeing you."

I nodded: "There is such a saying, but you are brave enough, Mr. Guan. You really want to see a few people come out of the grave to eat your noodles?"

The old Guantou smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I'm brave, I was also too curious at the time, and I really missed them. I thought about it, if they really came out of the grave, I wouldn't be afraid, on the contrary I'll go up and talk to them."

I know that the old Guantou's mentality is mainly because he is too familiar with Sun Xingwang's family, just like relatives.So even if they become ghosts, they believe that they will not harm themselves.

It's no wonder that the old manager was very curious at the time. Now that I hear him talk about it, I'm also very curious about what will happen next.
