Chapter 33 The Woman Burning Paper Money at Midnight
Gu Hansheng and Tang Yu were walking in front and also heard the sound of the wooden fish, and covered their ears at the same time.
The two of them turned back at the same time and looked at the three people with pale faces.
Tang Yu looked at the wall on one side again and walked forward to observe it carefully.
"This is a thief, an ancient fossil... I never thought the local villagers would embed it in their houses. I've read in books before that thieves have different thicknesses and produce different musical scales when struck. They're said to be able to bewitch people."
They drank some water and took a breath.
"This thing is too scary! No wonder Xiao Zhou doesn't want us to touch these stones."
It is understandable why the mayor and his colleagues were ruthlessly driven away when they accidentally touched these stones when they came to the village for a meeting.
"They are afraid that the secret of their village will be discovered."
Mi Chen curled his lips.
"Now that we've discovered the secret, what are they going to do with it? Aren't all the people in this village their own? Who are they trying to deceive with this?"
Gu Hansheng said in a deep voice.
"This may also be an ancient means of self-protection. In order to avoid invasion, this method is used to resist powerful enemies."
If you put it this way, it seems understandable.
"Okay, let's go, and don't touch anything."
Gu said coldly, Mi Chen pursed his lips, as if to apologize for his previous behavior.
"I'm so sorry, everyone."
"Everyone, please be careful and don't bump into anything." Gu Hansheng said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Captain!"
Several people carefully stuck to the wall and followed behind Gu Hansheng.
Gu Hansheng had a good sense of direction. Following the direction indicated by the puppet, he soon arrived at a stone house that was nothing special.
However, it is different from the current situation where every household has gone to sleep.
Before they reached the door of the stone house, they heard a woman crying.
"Woo woo woo~"
Gu Hansheng gestured along the wall.
"stop."
The whimpering sound echoed in the silent night, seeming somewhat eerie and ethereal.
Several people behind him quietly stepped forward and poked their heads out from behind Gu Hansheng.
They were in an alley at a corner at this time, and when they walked out of the corner, they would be right in front of Shi Xiangxiang's home.
Gu Hansheng was very cautious. He took out a small paper figure from his pocket and blew into it.
"Go ahead, but don't get too close."
The little paper man is only half the size of a palm and looks like a paper gingerbread man. It's quite cute.
Gu Hansheng tapped twice on the little paper man's head, and after the two dots landed, they blinked as if they had life.
He stood quietly in the corner. After hearing Gu Hansheng's command, he ran out of the corner tremblingly and stood not far from the woman.
Gu Hansheng took out his cell phone and through the eyes of the little paper man, he could see clearly the scene in front of the little paper man.
From the perspective of the little paper man, there was a woman in mourning at the door of a stone house.
In the basin, paper money was still burning, and someone was muttering something while burning, and the sound of crying could be heard all the time.
"...Xiangxiang, I'm sorry for you. Please don't blame me. I don't have the ability to protect you... I'll go to hell and make amends to you. Xiangxiang... my Xiangxiang."
“Woo woo woo woo~”
The more the woman spoke, the more violently her tears flowed. She started crying at the door holding a pile of paper money.
Soon, the man in the room seemed to be awakened by the crying.
With his upper body naked, he walked out of the house in a menacing manner.
When he saw the woman in mourning clothes burning paper money at the door, his pupils constricted.
He stepped forward and kicked the basin of paper money to the ground.
As soon as it touched the ground, the fire went out instantly.
"I say, you woman, are you looking for death?! Didn't the village chief say that large-scale sacrifices and burning of paper money are not allowed in the village? Especially today is the day to worship the mountain god. Do you want to offend the mountain god? If you want to die yourself, don't take me with you!"
The woman looked at the man's vicious eyes, her eyes red from crying, and she couldn't help but start to refute.
"Shi Dashan, you have no heart! Our daughter died for us, how could you treat her like this? It's only been less than a year since our daughter died, and you've completely forgotten about her, right? Don't forget how she died!"
When the man heard this, he seemed to be stimulated and his eyes widened.
He rushed forward and grabbed the woman's neck tightly, with a ferocious expression on his face.
"I'm warning you, this matter has already happened a year ago, and it must not be brought up again. If the village chief finds out, you already know the consequences, needless to say. If you want to live, shut up right now, or... the village chief will sacrifice you to the mountain god!"
Due to lack of oxygen, the woman's face began to turn abnormally red and she began to struggle constantly.
The man forced himself to suppress his violent nature, and when he saw the woman start to roll her eyes, he withdrew his hand.
He kicked the paper money on the ground a few times and buried the ashes on the spot.
Then he snorted in annoyance and walked into the house on his own.
“Cough cough cough——”
After the woman regained her breath, she covered her neck and began to breathe heavily.
She kept coughing, tears kept falling, and her whole body was shaking, as if she had walked through the gates of hell.
She wiped her tears and picked up the copper basin from the ground with trembling hands.
He dragged his broken body back home and locked the door.
This scene was seen clearly by several people hiding in the corner.
Several people looked at each other and couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on their bodies.
Feng Ming whispered.
"Is this really his real father? He gets so angry even when offering sacrifices to his daughter?"
Mi Chen snorted in annoyance, and his eyes unconsciously became a little colder.
"This kind of person is not fit to be a father at all. I think he is the one who deserves to die the most!"
Shi Yi was a little surprised. She seemed to have never seen Mi Chen so excited.
Mi Chen's eyes were complicated at this time. Feng Ming was a little stunned. He sighed, gently put his arm around Mi Chen's shoulders, and patted him a few times, as if to comfort him.
Shi Yi was confused and heard Gu Hansheng speak again.
"Logically speaking, even if he's afraid of offending the mountain god, he shouldn't have such an attitude. His attitude is like..."
Tang Yu continued on the side.
"Fear."
Shi Yi nodded.
"Yes, he was afraid. The man tried to hide his fear with his frantic expression."
But his eyes, which kept looking around, revealed his inner fear.
What are you afraid of?
Is he afraid of his daughter's ghost?
She knew that these ethnic minorities had great respect for the deceased.
But there's no need to be so scared for your own daughter, right?
Unless you've done something wrong...
