Chapter 1062 The Returnee's Notes 136
Xie Ning carried the black cat forward and saw the spirit floating beside the coffin. Because the area was shaded by trees, it was jumping around next to Qiu Dafu.
"You little bastard, your grandpa just accidentally fell into the water and died. You can't just claim anyone as your father! Who wants to eat your paper money? This den of thieves is not happy!"
After all, this grave was originally prepared for Qiu Qing, but now Qiu Dafu has found a corpse from somewhere and buried it there. Of course, the owner of that corpse is not comfortable, just like a person being forcibly stuffed into an unsuitable piece of clothing.
"You're talking nonsense! This is my father!" Then the descendant pointed at Qiu Laosan and said, "Third Uncle, not only did you kill my father, but you also made sure he couldn't rest in peace even in death! You have a black heart!"
The old lady watched Qiu Dafu wail silently, then slowly said, "You think I don't know where your father is?"
She just figured it would take time, and planned to deal with the things in the coffin first.
After all, it's still daytime, and that thing can't get out. If we don't deal with what's inside the coffin, it'll be difficult to leave later.
Qiu Dafu paused, but still didn't believe it, and continued to hurl insults. When the others saw that there really was a corpse in the coffin, they all switched sides and spoke up for Qiu Dafu.
They accused Qiu Laosan of making a mountain out of a molehill, implying he might have ulterior motives, and believed that Qiu Laosan was indeed responsible for Qiu Qing's death.
Old Qiu's face grew increasingly dark, and a hint of doubt crept into his eyes as he looked at the old woman. But in the end, he chose to believe her, for he had no choice but to. "Witch, where do you think that thing is?"
Ideally, there should actually be something.
“In his barn,” the old lady said, pointing to Qiu Dafu.
There aren't many places in the village where people can hide, and the granary is the most secluded. Many people would hide there to avoid the family planning officials.
The granaries here are all located above the rooms, in the attics above the ceiling. After each household harvests rice, they will hang the dried rice up and put it into the granary for storage.
Qiu Dafu was taken aback. A man of similar age to him turned and ran away. No one else noticed, but Xie Ning followed after him with the black cat in his arms.
Xie Ning still trusted the old lady. Since the old lady said that Qiu Dafu had a problem, the "ghost" that appeared was very likely related to Qiu Dafu.
Xie Ning suspected that the person who had just heard the old lady say that "ghosts" were running around the barn was Qiu Dafu's accomplice.
Xie Ning didn't know which house was Qiu Dafu's home. He just quietly followed the man and saw him climb over the wall into a courtyard. Xie Ning casually grabbed a child, gave him a piece of candy, and pointed to the house, asking, "Is that Qiu Dafu's home?"
The child clutched the peanut candy tightly and nodded vigorously. "That's Uncle Dafu's house. Sister, are you looking for Uncle Dafu? But he doesn't seem to be home."
"It's okay, I'll wait for him to come back. You go and have fun."
Sure enough, that person was Qiu Dafu's accomplice. Seeing that no one was around, Xie Ning also climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard. The wall was very low, and he climbed over it in no time.
Xie Ning landed lightly, and the man inside didn't even notice that Xie Ning had come in. In his haste, he didn't have time to hide and grabbed a wooden ladder, intending to climb up the barn to move the "ghost" away.
Xie Ning pulled the person down directly, and then heard a hoarse sound coming from upstairs, accompanied by the soft rattling of iron chains, which was quite frightening.
In addition, she smelled a strong stench of blood, but it didn't smell like human blood.
"Who are you?!" the man demanded fiercely, trying to intimidate Xie Ning, but Xie Ning grabbed a rope and tied him up tightly.
"You guys have some nerve."
Just as Xie Ning finished tying the person up, the old lady behind him also came over with her people.
At the same time, everyone heard strange noises from upstairs, and their faces paled. There really was something up there!
"What...what should we do?" someone asked in a trembling voice, but others were still skeptical and turned to Qiu Dafu, asking, "Dafu, are you really raising a ghost?"
We await Qiu Dafu's denial.
But all that came was silence, and everyone understood.
"You're a complete bastard!"
Before anyone else could start cursing, the old lady chased them out, but kept Qiu Laosan and Qiu Dafu, since one of them was a ghost keeper and the other was the target of the ghost's revenge.
Then he said to Xie Ning, "You watch, I'll go up."
The person tied to the ground couldn't move, but Qiu Dafu was free. Seeing that his plan had been exposed, he still held onto a sliver of hope and subconsciously reached out to stop the old lady from going upstairs.
Xie Ning quickly pinned the person down.
"Grandma, you go upstairs, I'll stay here."
Qiu Dafu was indeed strong, but she was also quite strong.
Old Qiu swallowed hard, his eyes darting upwards repeatedly. "Little girl, is your grandma really capable?"
No matter how powerful this fortune teller is, she's only one person.
