After not coming back for a few months, some weeds had grown in the yard. The door was wide open, and there were signs of rummaging in the house. Seeing this, Gu Xu frowned slightly.

Gu Yue got angry, then fell into deep thought.

There was no sign of the courtyard wall being turned over, and the lock on the courtyard gate was intact. The area turned over was very extensive, but Gu Yue bent down and touched it, and the silver hidden in the kang hole was still there. It didn't make sense to leave the most expensive thing untouched, right?

"How dare these unruly people be so bold?" Wu Feng sighed.

Gu Yue didn't say anything. He didn't think it was done by the villagers, but seeing that Gu Xu didn't say a word, he suppressed his doubts.

"There's nothing valuable here anyway. Shi San, just move the things according to the list I gave you and put them all in the yard first." Gu Yue said.

He suddenly remembered something: "Oh! Can you read?"

"......Yeah." Shi San nodded.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Gu Yue entered his room... The suitcase was also turned into a mess. Gu Yue searched among the pile of clothes and found the mourning clothes that Gu Dashi wore when a member of the Gu family passed away.

Gu Yue put on mourning clothes, grabbed a handful of paper money he had brought with him, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Are you going to... dress up as a ghost?" Wu Feng thought that this would be much scarier than what they had done before.

"That's right." Gu Yue nodded.

He hasn't forgotten the matter of Gu Erhua, and he has also promised Gu Xu and this original body to investigate the incident thoroughly.

Qingming Festival is a great opportunity.

Times have changed!

This is Northern Qin, an ignorant ancient time. Who doesn't believe in ghosts? Who doesn't fear ghosts? And judging from Gu Erhua's reaction, it seems that the death of the Gu family back then had something to do with her family.

Gu Yue waved his hand to Gu Xu: "Just follow quietly from behind. Or rest at home. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Gu Yue opened the gate and walked out openly.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and a drizzle gradually began to fall.

Gujia Village is next to the wheat fields. At this time, it looks like a vibrant green in the distance, and it looks misty under the drizzle, which is really beautiful.

This atmosphere also added a hint of eerie and terrifying aura to Gu Yue's surroundings.

Gu Yue dragged his feet as he walked, trying his best not to let his body rise and fall, creating a floating feeling.

"It's such a realistic performance!" exclaimed Wu Feng who was following quietly from behind.

Gu Xu pressed the corner of his mouth and turned to look at Shi San: "I remember Dad told you to pack up your things at home."

Why are you following me again!

Disgusting guy!

Gu Xu currently doesn't like Shi San very much.

He is almost inseparable from Gu Dashi.

Shi San didn't say anything.

Gu Yue had a blank expression on his face as he walked towards the direction of the ancestral grave of Gujia Village - and floated away.

All the people in Gujia Village are more or less related by blood, and if you count a few generations up, you are even closer. Therefore, the ancestors are buried in the same place, and can basically be arranged in order of seniority. Those who cannot be arranged are also buried according to their age and prestige, and only a few will be taken to other places after death.

The graves of Gu Dashi's family are also in the ancestral cemetery of Gujia Village.

Gu Yue floated along the way, scaring many people along the way.

Most people couldn't see his face, and it was OK. Many people wore white to visit his graves during the Qingming Festival. But those who saw his face were not so lucky, and were so scared that they couldn't speak.

Gu Yue walked to the location of the ancestral tomb.

He first found the tombstones of Gu's father, mother, brother and sister-in-law. Perhaps because they died suddenly, the tombstones of this family were in a relatively remote location. There was a layer of dust on the tombstones, and it looked like no one had ever cleaned them.

Gu Yue felt a little heavy-hearted. He stood in front of the monument, not knowing what to say.

"You, you, who are you?" Gu Erhua's voice came from behind.

Gu Yue turned around and saw Gu Erhua, wearing plain clothes and carrying a basket, standing a few meters away. Seeing him turn around, Gu Erhua's face turned pale, and she stepped back subconsciously, but sat down on the ground.

"You you you...Gu Gu Gu Dashi...you are not dead..."

Gu Yue walked forward slowly.

The sky was dim and drizzling. Gu Yue's face was stained with flowing raindrops, which dripped down his chin. He walked to Gu Erhua's feet and slowly squatted down.

"Today is Qingming Festival, so I came back. Aunt Erhua..."

Gu Yue's voice was hoarse, his eyes wide open: "I heard something from my parents..."

"Ah!!! Don't blame me, don't blame me!!! I couldn't do anything when those people forced me to say it with a knife!!!" Gu Erhua screamed loudly.

The villagers who had come early to sweep the graves were startled and looked over here.

"What did you say?" Gu Yue asked slowly.

Gu Erhua burst into tears and could not utter complete sentences: "Gu, where does Brother Gu live... woooo..."

"Who are they?" Gu Yue asked a different question.

"I don't know, wuwu...the people in black...I don't know them, I didn't know they had that plan!" Gu Erhua burst into tears: "They are so cruel! Wuwuwu...I'm so sorry, Brother Gu, wuwuwu..."

Gu Yue was silent for a moment.

He reached out and grabbed Gu Erhua, dragging her to the Gu family's tombstone.

Gu Erhua was paralyzed with fear: "Don't take me away! Wuuwuwu, isn't the retribution I've received over the years enough?!"

What retribution? Gu Yue didn't care. He squatted down and lifted Gu Erhua's head, letting her be drenched by the rain to sober up.

"What did those people ask you? Answer them well, or I will take you to meet my parents." Gu Yue asked in a deep voice.

"..." Gu Erhua choked for a long time and said stutteringly: "They, they will silence me..."

"If you don't tell me, I will kill you right now. It's your choice," said Gu Yue.

"They..." Gu Erhua swallowed her saliva, "They asked if anyone in the village had brought back a strange child..."

Gu Yue paused.

"Is that what you said? Did you say anything else?" Gu Yue tightened his grip.

"No, no! They only asked the children. I didn't want to say anything. They were scary! They put a knife to my neck..." Gu Erhua cried so hard that her face was covered with tears and snot.

"What do those people look like?" Gu Yue asked.

"Masked...I don't know, wuwuwu..." Gu Erhua cried.

Gu Yue squatted in front of the tombstone. He let go of Gu Erhua and fell into deep thought.

So, the Gu family was massacred because Brother Gu and his wife brought back Gu Xu?

But why didn’t Gu Xu die?

If he came for Gu Xu, then he could just kill the whole family. Why leave him and Gu Xu behind?

Wait, where were he and Gu Xu on the day the Gu family was killed?

Hiding?

Gu Yue stared at the words on the tombstone and felt dizzy.

A memory came to mind.

There was a person standing in front of him, his mouth opening and closing, and a rough, hoarse voice came out.

"Do you know why your parents, brother and sister-in-law were killed? Because of that Gu Xu... It's all because of him. He is a disaster..."

"He has brought disaster to your whole family..."

His head hurt more and more, and Gu Yue tried hard to stay awake, but memories that did not belong to him were churning, and he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell down.

There were panicked footsteps behind me.
