I am cultivating and becoming a saint in a parallel world

After moving into the Dahongmen family, Wei Xuanshang took the opportunity to talk to the old man and the little girl in the family, trying to see if he could find more clues.

But the answers given by the grandfather and grandson were very different from that of the black truck driver. There were only two important pieces of information.

First, Tongjia Village has been haunted since two months ago. As soon as it gets dark, the sound of iron chains will ring throughout the village and will slowly stop until dawn.

Second, also starting two months ago, various supernatural events began to occur in villagers' homes. For example, some people wake up and suddenly find themselves lying in the yard; they often find that things at home have changed their positions for no reason; at night, the pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks raised at home suddenly scream as if they are frightened, etc.

As a result, the villagers in Tongjia Village not only stay indoors at night, but also keep their doors closed during the day, and do not go out unless they can.

"What about the children going to school?" Wei Xuanshang asked.

"Most of the children have been taken to the county by their parents. Now there are only five or six children left in the village, and they are all girls." The old man replied, "Now that this has happened, who dares to let go?" Get out, kid."

"But they are all girls, so it doesn't matter if they don't go to school."

No wonder today is not the weekend, but the little girl is at home.

"Your idea is wrong." Song Qingning couldn't help but retort after hearing this, "What kind of era is it now? Is the importance of education still divided between men and women?"

"Xinyu dropped out of school at such a young age. How will she work and live in the future? And she hasn't even completed the nine-year compulsory education. This is illegal."

"What can I do?" The old man had a good temper and was not angry when Song Qingning said this. "If there were peaceful times, she would have done it if she wanted. But now, how can she get out?"

"Where are her parents? They can take her out to school." Song Qingning asked, "Aren't there many children in the village who have been taken out?"

"Mom and dad have to take care of my brother." The little girl interjected, "Grandpa takes care of me."

The old man also sighed: "Her parents are working in the south, and life is hard. It's very difficult to take care of one child, and she can't take care of two children."

"But……"

Wei Xuanshang pulled Song Qingning and motioned her to stop with his eyes.

Song Qingning reluctantly stopped talking.

"It's not a solution to keep this situation in the village." Wei Xuanshang continued, "Have you never thought about how to solve it?"

"We called the police a long time ago," the old man said, "but nothing was lost and no one was hurt. The police said it was not their responsibility. Later, they said they would report it for us and let the province send experts."

"But first-class and second-class, I haven't seen any sign of the expert until now."

Hearing this, the four people exchanged glances silently, and they knew where this test question came from.

"Don't worry, it will be fine."

After Wei Xuanshang comforted the old man, he took the little girl and walked out of the kitchen.

Wang Xiao and Zhao Junhao, two teenagers who grew up in the city, were attracted by the earthen stove in the kitchen and insisted on staying to help light the fire.

Song Qingning followed Wei Xuanshang step by step, still sulking.

Wei Xuanshang took the little girl and sat on the small bench in the corridor.

"Xinyu, can you tell me what your name is?"

"Yes!" The little girl stretched out her finger and wrote her name directly on the cement floor, adding her surname at the same time.

"Tong Xinyu." Wei Xuanshang read it carefully and praised, "The handwriting is so beautiful."

The little girl smiled shyly.

"I have a very good friend, also named Xin Yu, who has the same name as you but a different name." Wei Xuanshang said.

Song Qingning also looked at Wei Xuanshang. It was the first time she heard her mention things other than the training camp.

"They have four children in their family. She is the eldest, followed by two younger sisters and a younger brother. Because of the poor conditions at home, when she graduated from junior high school, her parents wanted her to drop out of school and go out to work."

"My grandfather also said that he would let me go to the south to find my parents in two years."

"What are you going for? Do you want to work?" Song Qingning was furious when he heard this, "How old are you now!"

"Keep your voice down."

Wei Xuanshang held Song Qingning down and then continued: "But that friend of mine didn't listen to her parents. Instead, she insisted on finishing high school and was admitted to a great university. Now she is in Xiacheng, doing a job she likes. Got the life she wanted.”

"Do you want to work?" Wei Xuanshang asked.

Tong Xinyu shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then do you want to live the same life as the people around you, or do you want to go outside and see the wider world?" Wei Xuanshang said, "People's rights must be defended by their own efforts."

"If you don't know what kind of life you want to live, then study hard first. If you study well, you will have more choices in the future."

Dong Xinyu seemed to understand: "Sister, do you want me to continue going to school?"

"Yes." Wei Xuanshang said, "Don't worry, things in the village will be resolved soon, and you will be able to live a normal life as before."

"I hope you can study hard and get into a good high school and a good university."

……

Dinner was over before the sun went down. After the meal, the grandfather and grandson immediately went back to their room and locked the door.

Wei Xuan and Shang each moved a small bench and sat around in the yard, waiting for the sound of the iron chain.

Feeling a little bored waiting, Song Qingning mentioned what happened more than an hour ago.

"Sister Xuan Shang, has the friend you mentioned this afternoon already worked? He should be older than you. How did you become friends?"

"...It's a neighbor's sister, a few years older than me." Wei Xuanshang filled in the hole without leaving a trace, "She also told me those words."

Song Qingning showed her original expression: "No wonder when I heard you say those words, it felt so similar to my aunt's tone."

"My aunt is eight years older than me, and she is now..."

"Shh." Wei Xuanshang put his right index finger on his lips, and the three people opposite him immediately fell silent.

"Danglanglang...Danglanglang..."

The faint sound of iron chains came from outside.

Song Qingning instinctively moved closer to Wei Xuanshang.

People's fear of ghosts seems to be rooted in their souls.

She can face all kinds of weird monsters and beasts calmly, but she is afraid of ghosts.

Wei Xuanshang made a gesture, and the four of them quietly came to the door and looked out through the crack in the door.

Dahongmen faces a two-meter-wide path, and across the path is the courtyard wall of another house. At this time, night had just arrived, and the field of vision was still clear, and the brick joints of the opposite courtyard wall could be vaguely seen.

"Nothing...ah!"

A face half covered by hair suddenly appeared outside the crack of the door.

Wang Xiao screamed, and the other three people jumped up from the ground.

"Ah ah ah..."

"Bang!" Wei Xuanshang opened the door and ran outside, his heart still beating violently at Wang Xiao's scream.

Search forward and backward.

But there was no shadow anywhere on the bumpy country road.
