My grandfather??

Hearing the name "Chen Bazhong" struck me like a thunderbolt.

It felt like I'd been pricked by a needle, and I instantly jumped up from my seat.

Luo Tianhe didn't know that Chen Bazhong was my grandfather, and he was cursing under his breath.

"What kind of lousy feng shui master is this? Chen Bazhong? Just hearing that name makes you think he's a bad person. Chen Bagou, Chen Goubi should be more like it."

"If I ever see him, I'll skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and crush his bones!"

I don't know whether to accept or not to respond to that.

Jin sat to the side, quietly observing the situation.

Seeing that I was emotional, he glanced at me sideways and gave me a meaningful look before gently shaking his head.

It signaled to me to calm down.

I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turmoil in my heart, and slowly sat down.

I tried to keep my voice calm as I asked Zeng Wei, "You must have been only a teenager back then, how could you remember it so clearly?"

My eyes were fixed on Zeng Wei, not missing a single change in his expression.

Zeng Wei's eyes dimmed instantly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard.

"At that time, the villagers still worshipped that beast Zeng Yonghua. The superstitious people would even burn incense for his statue."

“During festivals, people would offer pig heads and fruit as sacrifices; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they regarded him as a god.”

"But everything changed after that feng shui master named Chen Bazhong came."

He paused for a moment, a look of pain appearing on his face.

“My father was originally a strong and sturdy man, but he was arrested by them just because he talked back to Zeng Yonghua a few times. They said they would kill him as an example to warn others.”

“I watched them drag my father away with my own eyes. I tried to save him, but Zeng Yonghua’s men kicked me to the ground.”

Zeng Wei's eyes gradually reddened: "I hid in the corner, watching my father being tortured by them, but I was powerless to do anything about it."

“After that, my father developed a chronic illness and passed away not long after.”

"This blood feud, even if that person turns to ashes, I will remember it!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, gripping his hair tightly with both hands.

As I listened to Zeng Wei's account, my shock and doubt grew stronger.

I reached into my pocket, wanting to take out my phone to show him a picture of my grandfather.

But when I reached into my pocket, I realized it was a Xiaomi phone, not my own.

"And then what happened? After Chen Bazhong arrived, besides Zeng Yonghua's drastic change in personality, what else happened?"

I desperately wanted to get more clues from Zeng Wei.

"later……"

Zeng Weigang uttered two words, and the light bulb above his head suddenly began to flicker violently without warning, making a "buzzing" sound.

In the blink of an eye, all the lights in the room went out at once, and darkness quickly engulfed us like a tide.

Zeng Wei, however, was not surprised and took out candles and a lighter.

As the flames leaped up, the faint candlelight reflected the deep helplessness on Zeng Wei's face.

Seeing that he found the candle so quickly, I couldn't help but ask, "Does the power often go out here?"

Zeng Wei nodded with a wry smile, his tone full of bitterness.

"The water and electricity are cut off at this time every day, right on time."

“Now that Zeng Yonghua and his gang don’t dare to openly enter the village, they’ve come up with this despicable method to force us out so they can forcibly take over our land. Everyone is being tormented to the point that they have no choice but to slowly get used to it.”

I paused, then asked, "You just said that after that feng shui master came ten years ago, what happened?"

Zeng Wei lit a cigarette: "Later, strange things started happening in the village. First, people disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead."

"Later on, those who had resisted Zeng Yonghua all suffered misfortunes one after another in their families."

"Some people's houses suddenly catch fire and are burned to the ground; some people are walking on the road and are suddenly hit by flying stones, resulting in lifelong disabilities."

"That's why the villagers are so excited when you come to the village to inquire about Zeng Yonghua."

Luo Tianhe let out a long "Oh": "No wonder, I knew it, these people wanted to kill me as soon as I mentioned his name."

He then frowned and asked, "Does this feng shui master really have such great abilities? Can he control these disasters?"

Zeng Wei sneered: "Who knows? Anyway, the village has never been peaceful since he came. Moreover, Zeng Yonghua listens to him without question, as if he has cast some kind of spell on him."

Jin listened quietly the whole time.

Hearing this, he suddenly asked, "Have you heard anything about any agreement or agreement between Chen Bazhong and Zeng Yonghua?"

Zeng Wei shook his head: "I don't know about that, but I remember once I secretly followed Zeng Yonghua's car and saw them go to a mountain behind the village."

“That mountain has always been considered a forbidden place by the villagers, and very few people go up there. I didn’t dare to follow too closely. From a distance, I saw that they seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony on the mountain, with smoke swirling around them, which was particularly eerie.”

Hearing this, a thought struck me: "Where is that mountain? Can we go take a look?"

Zeng Wei's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Are you out of your minds? That mountain is incredibly evil. Ever since they went there, no one who goes in has ever come out alive."

"Even during the day, the mountain is shrouded in mist, making it difficult to discern directions. Moreover, it is said that there are man-eating wild beasts on the mountain, waiting for curious people to come to them."

Luo Tianhe, however, was unconcerned: "I don't believe in such nonsense! Do you think I'm afraid of those vague and unfounded things? Tomorrow we'll go to that mountain and see what secrets it holds."
