Just a quick calculation, you are a fugitive!

The land of the Xu family at the foot of the mountain is not big, just a little over two mu.

When the flashlight shines over, a piece of freshly turned soil is covered with neatly arranged straw.

The tomb behind that has not been cleaned for a long time is very eye-catching.

When Xu Jiatao subconsciously touched the goose bumps on his arm, Liu Xian had already floated over.

Its figure sank into the tomb, and soon came out again, circled around, and finally turned along the big tree in front of the tomb, stayed at the high branch for a while, and floated back.

"Hiss~"

"Hiss~"

When Xu Jiatao saw the green snake shadow floating out of Wang Haitao, he was stunned. It took him a while to recover and looked at Su Chen in disbelief.

Wang Haitao frowned: "Master Su, there is nothing here, will... cough cough, have they left? A cunning rabbit has three burrows."

Su Chen said nothing and walked slowly forward along the narrow ridge of the field.

It is true that Liu Xian is very sensitive to the smell, but there are some things that not only Liu Xian, but also their Xuanshi will subconsciously ignore, such as...

Rotten meat.

Under the eyes of heaven, Su Chen clearly saw a piece of rotten meat in the ground in front of the tomb, emitting a faint gray smell, very subtle.

Seeing Su Chen picking up the loose soil covering the rotten meat, Wang Haitao hurriedly shone the flashlight into the pit.

There was a piece of meat with a vague shape in the pit.

Gray and black.

About the size of a ball.

Subconsciously, Wang Haitao asked: "Isn't it someone's family who had an abortion and buried it here?"

Xu Jiatao frowned: "Aren't they all buried in the mountains? Why did you choose this place?"

In recent years, many people have been caught for excessive births. In order to have a boy, many families secretly find a familiar doctor to see if they are pregnant. If they are sure that it is a girl, they will abort it and dig a pit in the mountains to bury it.

In autumn, when he went into the mountains to collect firewood and saw some newly dug soil, he would always quietly go to the side to pick some sour kumquats and put them on his head.

But... no one would bury it in this place on the grave, right?

Don't want to go that far?

Aren't you afraid of being scolded?

Or is it that someone is deliberately trying to bring bad luck to their family?

In a short period of time, many thoughts flashed through Xu Jiatao's mind, and he even suspected that someone in the village was jealous because his family had been doing well recently.

The next moment, Wang Haitao found a dead branch from the side and picked up the meat. When he turned it over, the bird's neck and beak were clearly exposed.

Xu Jiatao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a miscarriage?

Then it shouldn't be someone trying to bring bad luck to his family.

Wang Haitao frowned and looked at Su Chen: "No, this... is it a bird?"

"Why don't there are so many feathers?"

"Liu Xian, will birds dig a hole to bury themselves when they die of old age?"

After these three questions came out, Liu Xian moved away from him directly and floated to the distant ridge, with obvious disgust.

Su Chen took out the bird corpse and looked at it carefully.

"It died not long ago, the feathers..."

"It should be plucked." Xu Jiatao also saw some bloody places on it, which shows that the feathers were plucked very roughly.

Wang Haitao scratched his head: "No, why pluck feathers? Are the feathers of this bird beautiful? Or can the feathers in your Cuicheng be sold for money?"

Su Chen nodded: "Before, someone from Shanqian Village came to catch crows and plucked their feathers while they were alive."

"Crow?" Wang Haitao was even more puzzled, "Then the black feathers can be sold for money? As medicinal materials or..."

"No, no, these days some people just like to be different. Maybe someone will buy them to make decorations, such as hats and clothes."

Su Chen reminded him: "Plucking feathers while alive will stick to the bird's resentment. Even if the resentment is small at the beginning and not enough to threaten, but if it accumulates into a lot..."

Wang Haitao chuckled: "Master Su, why are you worried about them? Aren't these people looking for death by what they did?"

"Even if they are entangled by resentment, they deserve it."

"The key is that they don't believe this."

He began to comment on these unreliable young people again.

Before they could finish their words, Liu Xian floated over.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

"There's an old ghost over there."

Xu Jiatao's eyes widened.

Can this snake speak human language?

No, an old ghost?

Who is it? An old man who passed away in the village?

"He asked you to put that thing back quickly."

"It's a bird raised by that big guy."

Wang Haitao and Su Chen were both stunned.

Raising a bird?

Raised by a ghost?

Why don't you believe it?

They asked Liu Xian to invite the ghost over, but the old ghost didn't dare to, so they had no choice but to put the bird back and walked along the ridge.

Seeing the old ghost, Xu Jiatao looked carefully and confirmed that he didn't know him.

But the old ghost recognized him: "It's Xiao Tao from the Xu family!"

Xu Jiatao: "??? You are..."

The old ghost pointed to the location of the grave: "I watched you guys helping in the fields before."

"You used to urinate on my grave secretly."

Xu Jiatao: "..."

That's enough, no need to say more.

No.

"Your grave is over there, why don't you dare to go over there?"

The old ghost laughed dryly: "How dare I? Ever since those guys caught the bird he raised, plucked its feathers and killed it, he went crazy and now kills everyone he meets!"

"I'm afraid he will catch me and eat me when I go back."

Xu Jiatao asked: "Who is he?"

"It's the grave by the ravine in the back mountain. You know Xiao Tao, right?"

"Well, that grave has been unattended for longer than yours. He... doesn't want to reincarnate? Is he still in the grave?"

The old ghost laughed: "How can reincarnation be so fast? You have to wait in line. You, like me, have waited for more than a hundred years."

"But fortunately I didn't reincarnate, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see your quiet and peaceful life now."

Xu Jiatao was surprised: "Your descendants haven't come to worship for a long time, aren't you angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"The guy surnamed Liu in your village was not filial when his mother was alive. My descendants have at least swept my grave for decades, which is enough."

"Their descendants have to make money and raise children, which is very hard. Besides, I used to be very frugal and saved a lot of money, so I don't need that little money."

Wang Haitao gave a thumbs up.

"Brother, there are not many old ghosts as clear-headed as you these days!"

The old ghost was proud.

Su Chen asked him: "Is he still in the ditch behind the mountain?"

The old ghost shook his head.

"How would I know?"

"That day he suddenly went crazy, and I fled to the edge of the village. Oh, right..."

He looked at Xu Jiatao: "Xiao Tao, you have to tell your family not to clean up the land here yet, be careful not to run into that guy..."

"My dad ran into him, and the amulet was destroyed."

Old Ghost was surprised: "Then why is your dad okay?"

"He has an amulet!"

"Aren't they all destroyed? Why didn't that guy attack your dad?"

Xu Jiatao blinked and scratched his head: "Oh, right!"

He looked at Su Chen blankly.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and had a bad premonition.

But he quickly suppressed the idea: "Let's go to the ravine behind the mountain."

Old Ghost was anxious.

"No, I told you that guy is very dangerous, why are you still going?"

"Don't go..." Old Ghost stretched out his hand to stop them, paused, and murmured, "No, that snake seems to be very powerful, maybe it can deal with that guy..."
