Upon hearing this, Lin Xi suddenly asked Mother Ding another question.
"Are there many graves in your area? Or rather, are there many graves where children can just walk by and play?"
Mother Ding was suddenly stunned, subconsciously recalled the situation near her mother's home, and then said.
"A lot, quite a lot..."
Her parents' home is in the countryside. There are many people in the village and there are mountains nearby, both big and small.
People there choose to be buried on the mountain after they die, so there are actually quite a few graves nearby, and almost all of them are on the mountain.
They only go to the mountain during the Chinese New Year to visit the graves, and rarely go there at other times.
As Mother Ding was talking, she suddenly realized the purpose of Lin Xi's question. Could it be that she suspected that her son was harmed by the ghost in the mountain?
When you think about it, it’s really possible!
Although they also told the children not to run to the mountains when adults are not around, worried that they might get hurt, a group of naughty children may not be so obedient.
Maybe when they weren't looking, he secretly ran to play next to a grave on the mountain!
They were only worried about whether the children would fall while running up and down the mountain, but they didn't consider that the children had weak yang energy and were very likely to be haunted by ghosts in the mountains!
Realizing this, Mother Ding became anxious and looked at Lin Xi anxiously.
"Master, is it because my son was accidentally haunted by the ghosts in the mountains that he became like this?"
It must be like this, otherwise how could my son become like this out of nowhere?
Just as Ding's mother was thinking this, she heard Lin Xi say, "Accidentally? I'm afraid not."
What does this mean? It can't be that my son deliberately provoked the other party, right?
Although my son is young, he wouldn't do such a thing!
The couple looked at each other.
Lin Xi came to Ding Hanjie. He had finally finished what he was eating. His face and hands were covered in oil stains. He was about to rub them on his clothes when he noticed Lin Xi looking at him.
Ding Hanjie suddenly felt embarrassed and a little scared, and stopped wiping his clothes.
Lin Xi looked at him and asked, "During the New Year, did you secretly eat food from other people's graves without telling anyone?"
Although it is still a question, Lin Xi can already confirm that Ding Hanjie's abnormal behavior during this period is most likely due to this reason.
Ghosts are more strongly bound by heaven and earth after death, and they will never move to harm others unless it is absolutely necessary.
Because if anything happens to the living people they harm, the sin will be counted on their heads and recorded in the booklet of evidence in the underworld.
In addition, as Mother Ding just said, those buried in the mountains near her mother's home were all people who once lived in the village, so they could be said to be old acquaintances.
Even if those deceased people did not know Ding Hanjie, they must have seen his mother. Since they knew each other, they naturally would not harm Ding Hanjie for no reason.
Therefore, it could only be that Ding Hanjie did something that caused the other party to lose patience and attack him.
Combined with Ding Hanjie's inexplicable appetite recently, his crazy desire to eat and his frequent movements, it is most likely related to food.
What food can connect ghosts and living people?
Of course, there is only tribute.
Therefore, the abnormality on Ding Hanjie's body was most likely due to him stealing the offerings in front of other people's graves and being retaliated against.
Hearing Lin Xi's question, Ding Hanjie blinked for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise.
"How do you know?"
He had a curious expression on his face as if to say "this is too amazing", which made Mrs. Ding and her husband beside him feel dizzy and almost faint.
So this brat actually stole the offerings in front of other people’s graves!
How could he be so bold and greedy!
Mother Ding remembered that she had just suspected that the ghosts had deliberately haunted her son and that was why he was like this. Now that she heard the truth, her face felt hot.
Angry and ashamed!
She slapped her son Ding Hanjie hard on the back and angrily scolded him, "Is there something missing for you at home, food or drink? Why do you have to steal other people's tributes to eat? Why can't you control your hands?"
This time, Mother Ding didn't hold back at all and the blow went straight through Ding Hanjie's thick clothes, making him scream and cry.
"Mom, you hit me, you hit me! I'm going to tell grandpa and grandma, I'm going to tell grandpa and grandma!"
Mother Ding was really angry this time. Seeing that he dared to cry and said he would complain, she hit him hard again.
"You sue! They'll still beat you even if you sue!"
By then, she wouldn't be the only one beating Ding Hanjie. I'm afraid the whole family wouldn't be able to help but take action.
It's really that he went too far this time, it's too scary!
After being severely "educated by love" by his mother, Ding Hanjie finally faced the reality and admitted his mistake honestly.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I won't dare to do this again. I won't dare to do this again... I didn't mean to do it. I just saw that no one was eating those things, so I took them..."
Of course, Ding Hanjie didn't really want to be a thief. It was just that day he and his friends in the village went to the mountains to look for wild rabbits. As a result, they didn't find any rabbits and they were tired from running.
He was prone to hunger and had a quick digestion, and running around in the mountains consumed even more energy, so after running for a while he was exhausted.
He glanced at his watch and found that it was only a little after three in the afternoon, and there were still two hours before dinner.
He originally planned to go down the mountain to eat some snacks, but after asking around with his friends, they all said they were not hungry and they were about to go to another place for "adventure".
When Ding Hanjie heard this, he immediately hesitated.
If he went down the mountain to eat at this time, his friends would have gone exploring, and he would be the only one left.
But he was really hungry and wanted to eat.
Ding Hanjie was craving food but reluctant to go on his "adventure." Finally, a nearby child heard his stomach growling and said to him, "Are you hungry? I just saw some roast chicken over there. Do you want some?"
Roast chicken?
Hearing this, Ding Hanjie's eyes lit up.
He quickly asked his friend where the roast chicken was, and the friend took him to a grave on the back slope.
I saw a roast chicken and some fruits in front of the grave!
But when Ding Hanjie saw the tomb, he was still a little afraid to go there.
He knew that this was where the dead slept, and these things should be their food, so why couldn't he eat them?
The little friend next to him brought him here and was about to leave, but he was still thinking about "adventure".
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ding Hanjie suddenly felt anxious. He looked at his friend who was walking away and then at the roast chicken in front of the grave. Finally, he swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but break the roast chicken open and take away the two big chicken legs.
Then he was worried that his secret meal would be discovered, so he threw the remaining roast chicken into the grass nearby.
He naively thought that if the roast chicken disappeared, no one would know that he had eaten it!
So he thought everything was going well and ate two roast chicken legs frantically while chasing the direction where his friends disappeared. He finished eating the roast chicken before reaching his friends.
The friend who brought him there was very surprised and asked him why he came here so quickly and whether he hadn't eaten.
Before Ding Hanjie could answer, a friend who was older than them asked them what they wanted to eat. The friend truthfully said that there was a roast chicken in front of the grave over there.
The older kids immediately said to them, "The adults said that those are other people's things, we can't eat them!"
His expression was very serious. Ding Hanjie didn't dare to say that he had already eaten two chicken legs. He could only shake his head subconsciously. He was afraid of being scolded by the older boy.
Fortunately, they didn't dwell on it anymore, and soon the group continued to run towards the "adventure" direction and started playing happily.
Ding Hanjie was having so much fun and enjoying himself that he forgot about it.
I went down the mountain and went home to eat. After dinner, I played Yanqi with my friends and finally fell asleep because I was so tired.
Children have good memories but also tend to forget things easily. Ding Hanjie, in particular, subconsciously didn't want others to know about the incident for fear of being scolded, so he quickly forgot about it.
It was not until Lin Xi spoke out this incident that Ding Hanjie finally remembered it and realized that he must have done something wrong.
After hearing what their son said, Mrs. Ding and her husband felt even darker and darker.
So he was really out of greed and hunger, he had the guts to eat the tribute roast chicken. Not only that, he also cleverly threw away the rest of the roast chicken in order to avoid being discovered!
"You idiot, you, you, you, you really pissed me off!"
Mrs. Ding and her husband were so angry that they had nothing to say.
They thought that if their son hadn't thrown away the leftover roast chicken, perhaps the grave occupant wouldn't be so angry, but he threw it away anyway!
Isn't this any different from eating someone else's food and then overturning the table?
Although they are Ding Hanjie's biological parents, at this moment they all want to say: This brat deserves revenge!
No matter how angry they were, they couldn't ignore Ding Hanjie. After all, he was still their child.
So in the end, the couple could only ask Lin Xi with shame on their faces how to solve the current situation.
In fact, if Lin Xi were to say, the ghost whose tribute was eaten by Ding Hanjie and the remaining tribute was thrown away had a relatively good temper. If it were someone with a worse temper, Ding Hanjie would probably have encountered some kind of disaster by now.
Now Ding Hanjie just eats crazily which causes him to become obese, and the Yin energy in his body has become very weak. It is estimated that the Yin energy in his body will completely disappear after a while, and then the abnormality in Ding Hanjie's body will return to normal.
So the other party just wanted to vent his anger and let Ding Hanjie eat as much as he could until he felt nauseous and vomited.
After all, he likes to eat, so let him eat as much as he wants.
No matter how delicious something is, if you eat it without restraint, it will become tasteless and even disgusting.
As a result, Ding Hanjie probably won’t think anything is delicious or tasty anymore.
