Chapter 215
On the way back to the village.
Dong Qiyue looked at Jin Chaochao, puzzled, "According to what you said, a mountain ghost came to me? Someone wants to take my life?"
"Whether he wants to take your life or not, I have to see it for sure. It's also possible that he just wants you to die." Jin Chaochao said bluntly.
Dong Qiyue clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in anger. "I'm studying in a university outside and rarely come back to the village. My parents are also very good and enthusiastic people. Who wants to harm me?"
Fu Xiaoan patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, wait until my sister-in-law goes over to take a look, and then everything will be clear."
At this moment, she admired Jin Chaochao so much.
Based on Dong Qiyue's few words, Jin Chaochao was able to deduce what happened decades ago.
She said that as long as her sister-in-law stepped in, nothing could not be solved!
Dongxia Village.
When Dong Qiyue brought them there, it was already noon the next day.
This place is really remote. After getting off the plane, you have to take a car, and then walk.
The most difficult thing is that the mountain road is rugged and steep, and the road is very difficult to walk on.
For safety reasons, you cannot walk at night.
Just arrived at Dongxia Village.
Dong Qiyue's parents came over with hoes on their shoulders, "Qiyue, didn't you just come back? Why are you back again?"
Dong's father had a serious look on his face. "If you have any problem, just call home. Running back will delay your studies."
Dong Qiyue felt wronged when she saw her mother. "Mom, this is my classmate and her sister-in-law. There are some things we can talk about when we get home."
Dong's father and mother saw that their daughter was hesitant to speak, and then looked at Jin Chaochao and Fu Xiaoan who followed them, and felt uneasy.
They even suspected that their daughter had gotten into trouble at school.
Dong Qiyue's house is a mud-brick house.
My father and mother look much older than their actual age because of years of hard work.
Dong's mother handed Jin Chaochao an enamel cup filled with hot water and said, "Miss, did you say someone wants to harm Qiyue?"
Jin Chaochao took the cup and nodded solemnly, "Yes."
Father Dong was smoking a cigarette with an unpleasant expression on his face.
He said in his native accent, "The little girl came back to attend a wedding, who can harm her? What is a mountain ghost? How come we have never heard of it?"
Jin Chaochao looked at him and asked, "Has anyone asked you for your personal belongings and birth dates for July?"
Upon hearing this, the couple immediately looked up at each other.
After a long while, Dong's mother finally spoke, "When cousin Yueyue got married, she asked me to compare her birth date and time to see if she could be a bridesmaid, so I gave her her birth date and time."
Father Dong frowned, put out the cigarette in his hand, and then said, "Xiuqin came home that day and took away a few clothes that the baby brought back from school."
At this moment, Dong's father suddenly stood up, and his head felt like it was hit by a hammer.
Hearing this, Jin Chaochao nodded to the others and said, "Don't give your birth date and time to others casually, and don't throw away old clothes casually."
At this time, Dong's father lit another cigarette in a panic and said in a cold tone: "I heard that the man Xiuqin married is in poor health..."
Dong Qiyue said, "I met that man when I was a bridesmaid. I heard he had cancer and was very thin. He and my cousin were childhood sweethearts, and my cousin liked him very much. My aunt agreed to let my cousin marry him because he gave a large gift."
Jin Chaochao held his forehead with his hand and said, "Where is the depression where you often worship? I want to go and take a look."
She was sure of it.
Dong Qiyue's cousin, Dong Xiuqin, used a secret technique to sacrifice Dong Qiyue and extend her husband's life.
The medium for extending life is the mountain ghost, who was the son of the old village chief decades ago.
The secret technique of prolonging life must be inherited only by the village chief's family.
Although Dong's father and mother are full of respect for the depression in the village.
But for the sake of their daughter's life, the two men took Jin Chaochao away without saying a word.
In order not to alert the enemy, Jin Chaochao chose to go there at night.
If other villagers saw it during the day, the whole village might be in an uproar, and the problem would not be solved, but would instead cause trouble.
When night falls.
Dong's father brought Jin Chaochao to the depression where everyone in the village worshipped.
The depression was not large, about two meters in radius. It was an open space surrounded by stones and weeds growing in it.
Along the outside of the stone circle, there are burnt incense sticks and candles. The ashes have been piled up for years, and the ground is covered with white.
When Jin Chaochao stood in the depression, he felt a chilly and cold air.
She took out a piece of talisman paper from her bag and handed it to Dong's father, "Put it in your pocket, and then dig according to my instructions."
Jin Chaochao stepped over the pile of stones and walked into the depression.
The first thing she saw was a field of freshly turned soil.
She pointed at that piece and said to Dong's father, "Dig!"
Dong's father felt very nervous and his back was filled with chills, but for the sake of his daughter, he started digging diligently.
After digging for about ten minutes, the hoe hit a hard wooden box.
He squatted down and took the box out.
Jin Chaochao said, "Open it!"
Dong's father opened the box and saw a scarecrow in it. On the back of the scarecrow were written his daughter's birth date and name in cinnabar, and Dong Qiyue's clothes were placed underneath.
Those clothes were exactly the ones that Dong Xiuqin took away.
He was shaking with anger.
He was usually very kind to his niece, but she actually dared to take her daughter's life to extend the life of her man.
When Jin Chaochao saw the scene, everything was as expected.
After she squatted down, she found another wooden box that was about to rot underneath the wooden box.
She reached out and pulled out the box, opening the lid of the wooden box.
There was also the same scarecrow inside, with the name "Dongming" and his birth date written in cinnabar on the back of the scarecrow. There were also some children's toys in the box.
When Dong's mother saw the words Dongming, she screamed, "This is my son who died when he was five years old. He is Dong Qiyue's younger brother."
There are three children in their family.
Dong Qiyue has an older brother who has been working outside to earn tuition for his younger sister's education.
The couple also had a young son who suddenly fell ill and died at the age of five.
At that time, the child ran to the depression to play alone. The villagers said that the child had offended the gods, which caused him to fall ill and could not be cured no matter what.
The box in Dong's father's hand fell to the ground. He turned around and looked at the scarecrow in his wife's hand, his eyes instantly filled with pain.
"Ming'er, he...he was also murdered by someone?" His lips trembled as he spoke.
Dong Qiyue covered her face and looked at Fu Xiaoan beside her and explained, "I was ten years old when my brother died. He had been ill for more than ten days at that time. Many doctors were consulted, but they could not find out what was wrong with him. My parents even killed a pig to offer sacrifice to the depression, hoping that my brother's illness would get better."
Dong's mother couldn't bear the blow and her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Jin Chaochao quickly took out a pill and fed it into her mouth, and she came to her senses.
"I remember that Xiuqin was sick that year and was almost dying. After Ming'er died, Xiuqin's illness was miraculously cured." Dong's mother never dreamed that her niece's life was extended by her son.
