Otherworldly Merchant

“Dad, you are so spiritual. You really recited Sancho!” The woman said to the coffin, then turned her head and shouted at Li Mazi: “Why don't you give Daddy a kowtow? ”

Li Mazi tried to argue what else, but was stuck on the ground with seven hands and eight feet. He was helpless and had to kowtow a few heads.

Women burned paper in front of the coffin and cried.

From what she said, I heard an approximation.

The deceased was her grandfather, her husband had died two years earlier, and only his youngest uncle remained in the family. I don't know why, he hasn't been home in eight years - the one who the villagers mistakenly identified as Li Mazi.

It was not until the women cried that they let go.

Li Mazi photographed the dust and stood up: “The deceased is big, I don't want to kowtow two heads, but you really mistake people. This is my first time in your village and I don't know this old man! ”

When everyone listened, they were all stunned and re-measured Li Mazi.

“Look at that, huh?” Li Mazi starred and looked around: “Although my last name is Li, this old man looks a lot like me, but you really mistake people. ”

The woman came up and looked at him carefully, and suddenly her face changed. She was very guilty and said: “I'm so sorry, I did identify the wrong person, but you really look like our third son. When I heard about your return to the village, I lost my mind. ”

“All right, all right, sorry for your loss.” Li Mazi was very tolerant, but her eyes couldn't resist sweeping in her open snow and white breasts.

“I'm so sorry.” The woman looked heavy and said coldly: “Since you are not from the village, please leave immediately. The village is dying, so it is not convenient to keep outsiders. ”

“Isn't that right?” I suddenly answered: “My brother, who just worshipped an old man with a grandson's gift, shouldn't have thrown us out right away, right? Also, since this old man and he share the same family name, but rarely resemble each other so much, it is also a fate, let him hold the sacrifice for three days before the Spirit, so as to be filial to the generations. ”

Li Mazi was in a hurry and shouted: “Brother, you are..."

I glanced at him and waved, "Here's your blessing. ”

Then I turned to the woman and said, "This sister-in-law is so kind, I'm sure she won't refuse us this kind of favor? ”

The woman looked at me amazingly.

“The old man's heart is heavy and his soul hasn't dissipated for a while. If he keeps his soul in his stead, he can safely give birth. Sister-in-law, we're just trying to be reassuring. We won't pay you.” I explained.

The woman turned her face and smiled, “Thank you very much.” He turned around and went into the house.

Li Mazi pulled me aside and asked in agony: "What do you mean, brother? Why do you keep me as a filial grandson? Didn't I just lie to you to come out? Not so much for me, either. ”

“The village is strange, and there are likely to be spirits.” I glanced around and lowered my voice.

“What?” Li Mazi turned to look at the spiritual shed and looked bitter: “If that's the case, why do you have to stay? ”

“Have you looked closely at the villagers?” As if I hadn't heard him speak, I continued: “The whole village is depressed, their eyes are red, only the sister-in-law was bright, and they were so anxious to drive us away, they must be afraid of what we might find. There must be something wrong here! ”

“Whatever the problem is, it's their business. What does it have to do with us?” Li Mazi saw my color change, and he hastily changed his tone: ”“ Besides, we can also investigate in secret outside the village. Why should we stay in the village? "”

“Without staying in the village, what can you find? Give it a try these two days. Someone's coming.” I softly remind.

At that time, the woman walked over with a white cloth suit in her hand.

“Two big brothers, that's very kind of you. I thank you for my grandfather. ”

“It's not necessary, it's the fate.” I was kind enough to say, at the same time indicating Li Mazi.

Li Mazi looked at me bitterly and was very unwilling to change it.

“You guys did me such a big favor, I'm so sorry. You're welcome to ask me anything you need. By the way, you can call me Sister-in-law.” Women are abnormal and laughing.

“Okay, please protect your sister-in-law.” I nodded in response.

The woman led Li Mazi into the spiritual shed, and I pretended to ask where the toilet was and snuck out.

The village is not very large, with mountains on all sides and lots of buildings stacked in wood, all extremely low. One of them was a stone shack, a small house, only one man tall and short, and the door was sealed with three big irons. I don't know what was in it.

Other than that, there is nothing special.

Everyone in the village was strange, all eyes were red, the eyes were covered in blood, each as if they had not slept well for several days, and there was little communication between them. There were so many people, but the whole village was quiet and strange, and almost no murmurs could be heard.

Even children who were supposed to love each other were silent and sitting still.

This is so weird. There must be secrets in here that I don't know about!

I was halfway around the village, heading back, and suddenly I heard a dog screaming.

The screaming is messy and dense.

Follow the sound to see, right under the big tree at the end of the village, gathered a group of dirt dogs, one by one leaning his neck and yelling at the grass outside the village, as if there was something there.

Boo!

I just showed up, the grass moved, and then a dark shadow came out and went into the woods and disappeared.

The shadow was so fast and so sudden, I didn't realize what it was at all.

Suddenly, I felt like a pair of eyes were staring at me, and just as soon as I turned around, I suddenly jumped.

Bao sister-in-law was standing right behind me, staring closely at me.

“Hungry, eat something.” She saw me turn around and smiled.

“Oh, there's a sister-in-law. ”

I followed her around, and there was another roar in the woods outside the village.

I was amazed to turn around and see.

“It's a boar.” Sister-in-law Bao explained: “There are mountains and wild boars around here, often coming to the village to scourge. ”

……

After a quick meal, Li Mazi and I stayed temporarily in the house of the deceased's old Li Head under the placement of Sister Bao.

The house is very simple, with only one wooden bed, half a truncated stake lying on the bed, and the right to be a small table.

He should have burned or put all his supplies in his coffin, empty and empty, nothing.

Soon after, Bao sister-in-law brought a quilt and said that there was no extra bed mattress in the house, so let's get it together.

Li Mazi's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything.

As Bao sister-in-law walked out of the courtyard, Li Mazi immediately came forward: “Brother Zhang Jia, I also found that something is wrong with this village! ”
