Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth see through
After leaving the village, Jiang Chao saw that there was no one around, so he came over and said to me in a low voice:
"Did you find a problem at the ninth day of the lunar calendar?"
"What's the problem?" I looked at Jiang Chao and asked.
Jiang Chao swallowed first, and then said to me:
"Regularly speaking, if someone dies in this family, you should have white cloth hanging. And according to the customs here, the living people, especially the son, should also wear filial sleeves for one month. I have observed it specifically that Zhou Chen's child did not wear filial sleeves at all!"
After Jiang Chao said this, I suddenly realized that Jiang Chao had a rough and detailed side. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly felt that Jiang Chao was right at all!
According to the customs of our side and Gugu County, if a relative dies at home, the family must hang white cloth and white banners for one month, and the relatives must also wear black filial sleeves for at least one month. Whether it is Zhou Chen or Zhou Gongguo, filial sleeves must be worn, and their rural areas should care more about these traditional customs.
The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. Then I think of the child named Zhou Chen going to the coffin shop to find us by himself. These connections are like a trap set in advance, waiting for Jiang Chao and I to fall into the trap together!
Under the night, a cold wind blew over, which immediately calmed me a lot.
At this time, Jiang Chao looked at me and asked:
"Qijiu, do you think what I said is right?"
I nodded:
"You are right. After you reminded me, I feel that this matter is becoming more and more strange. We must not go to these two addresses tonight!"
Jiang Chao asked after hearing this:
"Then...what should we do now?"
I thought about it and made a quick decision:
"Let's go back secretly to see where the grandparents and grandchildren came from!"
So Jiang Chao and I changed the route and took advantage of the thick night to rush to Zhou Baoguo's home.
A few minutes later, Jiang Chao and I returned to Zhou Baoguo's home again.
At this time, I saw that the gate of the weekly newspaper was closed, so I leaned over and did not hear any sound inside through the gate.
"Qijiu, let's open the door and go in and take a look?" Jiang Chao stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
I shook my head and said:
"If you can't open the door, there will be a sound that will alarm the snake. Let's climb the wall from there."
I pointed to the wall on the right, and there were dozens of stone bricks piled under the wall on the other side. We could just step on the stone bricks and climb over the wall.
Jiang Chao nodded and came to the bottom of the wall with me. We stepped on the stone bricks and climbed up the wall one after another.
Just as Jiang Chao climbed up, I squatted on the wall and suddenly saw Zhou Chen walking out of the room.
So I immediately made a move to silence Jiang Chao:
"Shhh, don't make a sound, someone comes out."
I squatted on the wall and stared at Zhou Chen who had just walked out of the room.
At this time, he was holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, which seemed to be filled with yellow beans.
Zhou Chen placed a porcelain bowl full of beans on a wooden table in the middle of the yard, and then knelt on one knee in front of the wooden table, his hands kept waving some moves that I couldn't understand at all, and kept muttering words in his mouth.
Seeing Zhou Chen's strange behavior, I immediately gathered all my attention and opened my Yin-Yang Eyes.
But strangely, even if I opened the Yin and Yang eyes, I could not see anything abnormal on Zhou Chen's body. At this time, there was no trace of Yin and evil spirit in his body.
At this moment, Zhou Chen's grandfather Zhou Baoguo also walked out of the house.
At this time, Zhou Baoguo also changed into a yellow dress. He was wearing a yellow robe and holding a white paper sword in his hand. He walked behind Zhou Chen and kept waving into the air, and was muttering something in his mouth. I squatted on the wall, and I couldn't understand what they were talking about...
"Qinjiu, what's going on with these two men? Could it be that they belong to a cult?" Jiang Chao squatted behind me and asked in a low voice.
"Don't talk for now, I want to see what they are going to do!" I continued to stare at the strange man and the two men in the yard.
This strange ceremony lasted for about ten minutes before the two people in the yard stopped.
Zhou Chen stood up from the wooden table. Zhou Baoguo also saw the paper sword in his hand ignited and threw it on the ground. At the same time, he picked up four incense sticks from the wooden table, ignited the flames on the paper sword, and inserted the four incense sticks on the wooden table.
Seeing this, I already had a rough idea in my heart. It seems that the two of them are not good things, and the things they worship are definitely not good people.
The so-called three incenses are venerating to the gods and four incenses are worshipped to the ghosts. One rough idea can be judged from the numbers of these two people burning incense.
After Zhou Chen and Zhou Baoguo finished sacrificing incense, they bowed one after another and walked back to the house together.
At this time, the yard became silent again, and there was no sound.
After waiting for a while, all the lights in the room went out.
At this time, I gave Jiang Chao a wink. Jiang Chao immediately understood it, nodded and followed me and slowly climbed down from the wall.
When I arrived in the yard, I first walked to the wooden table and saw that the incense on the wooden table was still there. I went forward and interrupted all four incense sticks.
Then Jiang Chao and I bowed to the front of the house. I gently pushed the wooden door and found that the wooden door in the house was not locked. So I pushed it hard, and the wooden door made a "creak~" sound and opened.
Just as the wooden door opened, a pale face appeared in front of me and Jiang Chao, which scared me so much that I took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Jiang Chao was so scared that he shouted out:
"Ah~!!"
I saw him taking advantage of the situation and trying to pull out the peach wood sword from his waist, and wiped it with his right hand and didn't bring anything.
At this moment, I saw Zhou Baoguo standing behind the door staring at Jiang Chao and Zhou Baoguo with a pair of cold eyes. His pale face showed a hint of sneer, and then he asked me and Jiang Chao:
"You... haven't you left? Why are you back?"
I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and then looked at Zhou Baoguo and said:
"If we don't come and see, why don't we let you be monkeys? Say! Who are you and Zhou Chen? What do you want to trick us there to do??"
After hearing my words, Zhou Baoguo smiled and said:
"It seems that you two little guys are quite smart. You can even see through such a plan. It's not easy. When Mr. Shangguan started to make me cautious, I didn't agree. Now it seems that I underestimated the enemy. I have such a state of mind at such a young age, so I can't keep it!"
"Mr. Shangguan? You Shangguan Yanzong asked you to deal with me?" I asked.
Zhou Baoguo nodded and admitted directly:
Chapter completed!
