After all, if Old Man Li doesn't investigate this thoroughly, everyone in the village will live in fear.
So they gathered together and discussed for a long time, and finally decided to go and talk to the Li family to see if Old Man Li was in the coffin.
If he was really in the coffin, even if he didn't die at the time, he must have died after being buried in the ground.
As long as they are sure that Old Man Li is really dead, they can rest assured and ask the master to "exorcise the ghost".
If Old Man Li wasn't dead, then something was wrong with the Li family.
But after everyone told this to the Li family, they were once again strongly opposed by the Li family. Old man Li’s eldest son was so angry that he went into the house and grabbed a knife, glaring at everyone angrily.
"If anyone dares to disturb my father's peace, I will make him be buried with my father even if I have to fight for my life!"
Everyone was frightened by Boss Li's ferocious look and dared not mention the matter again, and quickly left the Li family.
However, looking at Boss Li's expression, everyone thought that Old Man Li might really be dead, otherwise he would not be so angry after hearing everyone's suggestions.
After all, if his father wasn't dead, he would definitely feel guilty after hearing this.
So Old Man Li is really dead and has turned into a ghost!
Unable to figure out the situation, everyone could only go back to their houses as soon as it got dark every night, and the timid ones just moved out.
Zhou Chunshan saw that the villagers were in a panic these days because of the incident of Old Man Li turning into a ghost. Thinking back to the night when Old Man Li inexplicably appeared at their doorstep, he always felt that something was wrong and felt uneasy, so he began to look for a master to go to the village to take a look.
If Old Man Li really came back as a ghost, he must have some unfulfilled wishes, otherwise he would not come out to scare people.
"...Master, could you please come to our village and help us figure out what's going on?"
"If Old Man Li really has any unfulfilled wishes, let's help him so he can rest in peace."
After all, he was his old partner, and Zhou Chunshan didn't want to see Old Man Li rest in peace after his death, so he kept these feelings.
Lin Xi did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go now."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunshan and Guo Feng stood up excitedly and rushed to the village with Lin Xi.
An hour later, Lin Xi arrived at the village where Zhou Chunshan lived.
It was winter now, and there was nothing unusual in the village. However, the bamboo forest had become a place that the villagers were strictly forbidden to go to.
When they arrived at the village entrance, the old men had stopped playing chess and were all talking about Old Man Li's condition with sad expressions.
Seeing Zhou Chunshan coming back with a strange girl, he quickly agreed to Lin Xi's identity.
Zhou Chunshan told everyone her identity only after obtaining Lin Xi's consent.
Apart from thinking that Lin Xi was a little young, the elderly people did not react much to her identity.
After a brief chat, Lin Xi asked Zhou Chunshan to take her to the mountain, which was the place where Old Man Li was buried.
Zhou Chunshan quickly took her up the mountain, and several old men followed curiously.
In the past few days, some people from the village have come to the mountain to take a look. Because they dare not dig up the grave rashly, they can only carefully check the condition of the grave to see if it is possible that Old Man Li dug up the grave himself and crawled out.
However, the grave was buried properly, without any abnormality.
When he was still several meters away from Old Man Li's grave, Lin Xi stopped.
In the face of Zhou Chunshan's puzzled gaze, she said directly.
"No, there's no body in this grave."
What? ! !
Zhou Chunshan's eyes widened in disbelief, and the elderly people around him were also shocked when they heard this.
"There's no body in the grave, which means Old Man Li isn't in there!"
"Did Old Man Li really fake his death and deceive us? But what was he trying to achieve?"
Before everyone could think of anything, they heard Lin Xi say again.
"Old man Li is not faking his death, he is really dead."
Lin Xi had good eyesight, and from this position he could clearly see the tombstone in front of Old Man Li's grave. Judging from Old Man Li's birth date on the tombstone, he was indeed dead.
When these words came out, everyone was shocked again.
No, is Old Man Li really dead? Then why isn't his body in the grave?
The key point is that the tomb is intact and there is no sign of any later damage.
It's impossible that his body was no longer in the grave before the grave was filled?
A group of old guys just couldn't think straight.
Zhou Chunshan thought of something and frowned.
He remembered that when Old Man Li was buried, the Li family drove everyone except their family members down the mountain.
In other words, only the Li family knew what happened after the burial and filling of the coffin of Old Man Li.
If they hadn't buried Old Man Li's body at all, wouldn't they have known about it?
After Zhou Chunshan pointed out this problem, the others also realized it.
So everyone immediately clamored to go find the Li family.
Before, the Li family scolded them for having problems with their brains and making random guesses all the time. Now, they have the master personally saying that old man Li’s body is not in there, so they feel confident.
Lin Xi also carefully looked around the grave and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the grave and that the corpse had not escaped on its own.
So the only explanation is that Old Man Li’s body was not buried at all.
Moreover, the only people who were dealing with this matter on the mountain at that time were members of the Li family.
Aren't the Li family members said to be filial? Why did they do something like not letting old man Li's body be buried peacefully?
Lin Xi was also puzzled, and followed a group of old men to the Li family.
Almost as soon as he arrived at the Li family's door, Lin Xi smelled a strong odor of corpse.
Seeing Zhou Chunshan and others coming to the door, Boss Li looked at them ferociously again and asked them if they wanted to come and find him again.
Zhou Chunshan and others did not notice it, but Lin Xi saw with his own eyes that when Boss Li's gaze passed over Zhou Chunshan and others, a strong hatred flashed in his eyes.
The hatred was so intense that it seemed as if he wanted to grind Zhou Chunshan and his companions into dust and tear their bodies into pieces.
Zhou Chunshan and his companions didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Li Ping, you didn't even bury your father or put his body in a grave!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Boss Li and the Li family members behind him were stunned for a moment, and their expressions changed immediately.
(Thank you all for the small gifts, love you all!)
