After Tao Xiaoyao pasted the talisman in the house, I thought for a while before putting a white lamp on the beam of the room.

I pointed to the white lamp hanging on the beam and said to Nishimiya Kun: "Did you see that lamp? If the lamp falls off by itself, don't touch it. Just let it hang in the air. You stand under the light and don't move, don't let the lamp go out, do you know?"

Nishimiya Kaoru whispered: "Are you leaving?"

I said in a deep voice: "It's very likely..."

As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Zhangtou, who was sitting in the next room, suddenly laughed. I stepped out of the room and looked at the old man sitting on the earthen kang. The muscles on the other person's face did not change at all, like a piece of stagnant dough, with only a little stiff cracking on the corners of his mouth.

As soon as my toes touched the threshold, Lao Zhang turned his head and said, "Someone is coming."

I subconsciously asked, "Who is here?"

"The door!" Old Zhang said, "The door was gone when there was no movement.

When I looked out through the window, I saw a closed door. I was about to speak but heard someone knocking on the door: "Comrade Chen, are you sleeping? The translator from the county came and said he wanted to see you."

Village Chief? He jumped into the wall again?

I opened the door and let the village chief in: "Where is the translation?"

"In the village department, people are so arrogant that they can't come no matter what they say, so they have to let you go." When the village chief spoke, he stood about one meter away from me. The other party's voice was a little hoarse, and he seemed to have just come from the water, with a bit of wet breath.

"Xuanzi, let's go to the village department! Xiao Yao, watch and don't move in the room!" I greeted Tao Xiao Yao and took Ye Xuan and the village chief away.

The village chief still didn't walk through the gate and jumped over the wall while stepping on the stone under the courtyard wall.

I followed the village chief and said, "Why don't you walk through the gate?"

The village chief said as he walked: "Some living people can walk, while others can only walk by dead people. Lao Zhang is dead, and his family has become a grave. How dare I walk through the gate?"

Ye Xuan stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with me, reaching out to grab the bamboo whip behind him.

I quietly touched Ye Xuan and signaled him not to move around. I spoke, "How did you know that Lao Zhang is dead?"

The village chief couldn't help but stand up: "Did you see the bowls and chopsticks placed in front of Lao Zhang? Isn't that the way to placate the offering?"

I was shocked suddenly. Old Man Zhang was surrounded by three plates and one bowl. The bowl was in the middle, the plate was in the shape of a font, the chopsticks were pointed in the inside and the tail was facing outward, which clearly was the way to put it on the offering. Moreover, Old Man Zhang did not see oil stars in his bowl, which meant that only white rice was contained in his bowl.

I suddenly looked up at the village chief, and it was not until this time that I remembered a detail.

When the village chief jumped into Old Man Zhang's house from the wall, his dog looked up at the village chief and immediately lay back. At that time, the dog had a tail between its tail. The dog would only have a tail between its fear.

The dog could see that the village chief was a dead person and was threatened when he looked at the village chief. Otherwise, it would not remain motionless.

I said in a deep voice: "What you said to me during the day is false?"

The village chief said slowly: "I shouldn't have taken you to find Lao Zhang! If I don't have taken you to find him, I will not die. I jumped into the outer wall of Lao Zhang's house and fell to death. I watched my soul lead you the way."

When a person jumps off the wall, he must have a forward squat to relieve the impact caused by jumping. When the village chief jumped over the wall, he was blocked by the wall. It took me two or three seconds before I saw him get up. At that time, he was dead?

The village chief said, "When you entered the door, no one looked back! At that time, I squatted in the shadows in the corner of the wall and watched you walk into the house!"

I said in a deep voice: "When you left, I kept looking at the door, why didn't I see your body?"

The village chief laughed and said, "You look at the door? But have you looked behind the door? My soul is in the room, and the person squats at the door. When I came out, the soul crawled back as soon as I closed the door."

"When a person is not allowed to leave his soul. If he leaves his body, he will not be able to carry his body when he goes back. When I run away from Lao Zhang's house, I feel that my body is so heavy! No matter how hard I go, it will be slow!"

It was only then that I remembered that when the village chief went out, he walked a lot slower, and from the back he looked like he couldn't take a step.

I subconsciously slowed down: "You are already dead, why don't you dare to leave Lao Zhang's house?"

The village chief said: "There is someone at the door, and I am afraid of hitting him. A dead person hits a living person. Either a living person falls into trouble or a dead person is gone! I dare not hit him outside. Hehe..."

Is there anyone at the door?

I didn't walk far after I came out of Lao Zhang's house, and subconsciously turned around and looked towards the door.

There was indeed a figure on the other side. The other party was not tall. The person stood sideways at the door, holding one hand in the air, as if he was about to knock on the door, but his hand never touched the door panel.

The village chief said, "This man! He didn't look up and looked at the door frame. He didn't even look at the tiles or stones on the door frame. Wasn't he going into the grave yourself?"

The northeast courtyard gate must be covered with tiles. Even if the door frame is built with stone, two tiles must be covered with top to allow the rain to flow down. Only the grave gate is three flat stone strips.

When I looked up the door frame, I realized that the door of Lao Zhangtou's house had turned into a stone slat, which was clearly a grave door.

Ye Xuan subconsciously said: "When I went out, I looked at the door, but why didn't I see the stone slab?"

The village chief smiled: "What the living people see outside is a grave, and what the dead people see inside is a house. Can the same be found in the grave? You just walked out of the grave. If you go back to see it now, it will definitely be the same."

Ye Xuan pulled me, meaning he asked me if I wanted to go back to reinforce Tao Xiaoye?

I waved my hand gently to him.

I can't believe the village chief's words. I suspect that he was going to trick us into going to the grave gate. If we go back, we will be captured. Besides, Tao Xiaoye is the best at the arts, and she can handle the ordinary scenes.

The village chief seemed to have no idea of ​​the little movements we had behind him, and still led us forward: "Aren't you looking for No. 44? I'll take you there. Only dead people can see No. 44, and living people can't find a place. Unless the people in the yard want to find you, otherwise you can turn the village upside down and you can't see the courtyard."

I said in a deep voice: "When the old Japanese found the No. 44 Courtyard? Who led the way for him?"

"It's the courtyard that is looking for him!" the village chief smiled and said, "Aren't you looking for a courtyard? If you want to find one, just follow me!"

The village chief is not going to the village headquarters now, but walking along Lao Zhangtou's yard and out of the village. Lao Zhangtou's family is already the last family in Xiaohe Village. In my impression, I went out from there and was a piece of wasteland with a ditch.

When I followed the village chief behind and walked out of the village, I found that there were several more yards outside the village. I am sure that when I came here during the day, this place was still open. But at this moment, there were several more yards on the wasteland across the river. It was a place where wealthy families lived together.

There were no lights in several yards, but I could see that the gate of the yard was half-closed. It seemed that someone was looking around quietly while whispering. I couldn't hear clearly what they said, and I could only hear the whimpering noise.

I have heard the older generation say before that when you pass by the grass barley in the middle of the night, if you hear something talking below, don't make do with it or listen to what they say? That's the dead cat talking in the grass barley. What they say is, how will you die? If you can't hear it clearly, it's okay. If you really go to the front and listen clearly, you have to go to the dead end they say. No matter what they say, you will go to the dead end they say, either, or you will fall under the cliff and fall into the ditch.

When I heard something, I quickly covered my ears and walked to a place where there were lights. When I saw the lights, it was fine.

Ye Xuan had also heard this, holding a bamboo whip in one hand and touching the flashlight in his waist with the other.

The more I walked forward, the clearer I could hear.

Someone said, "I'm going to go up the bridge. I'm going to go up the bridge... I'll just wait for them to go up the bridge."

"Can they get on the bridge?"

"Why can't it? They were almost walking to the river, but they didn't realize it was a paper bridge that would definitely go up."

Paper work!

After a person dies, he has to burn paper work. There are different sayings about what to burn in different places. Except for boys and girls, paper cows, paper and horses are things that are fixed to burn, other things are different. Some places will add a pair of golden bridges and silver bridges to the paper work. According to legend, three bridges must be passed by the Golden Bridge and Silver Bridge. In some legends, the Golden Bridge and Silver Bridge are things from the underworld, and in some legends, only the Naihe Bridge is there. The Golden Bridge and Silver Bridge is burned by the filial sons and grandchildren, otherwise the dead will not be able to reach the underworld. Therefore, a pair of golden bridges and silver bridges are added to the paper work.

At that time, I was not thinking about folklore, but catching up with the order.

The paper bridge is something that the dead passes. If Ye Xuan and I step on the bridge, it would be like using the dead, which just triggered the order to seize the robbery.

But what is the first condition for robbing the order?

On the village chief?

As my mind turned sharply, I heard someone in the yard say, "If they get on the paper bridge, won't the bridge collapse? How can I come here?"

Someone replied: "If you go up the bridge, you will die. The bridge will definitely not collapse. If the bridge collapses, it means that their lives should not be lost and they will die next time. We may not be able to eat this bite today!"

Is there a turning point in taking orders?

As soon as this thought came out of my mind, countless scenes flew into my mind.

The Ziwu Soul Calling that appeared twice before was not aimed at a certain person, but wrote our names on it. In other words, taking orders and killing people has a certain randomness. Can people be delayed from taking orders?

As my mind flew around, the village chief suddenly took out a white banner.
