Otherworldly Merchant

“Dumb old lady is home.” Wu replied.

“Back home?” My face is heavy.

“Yeah, Uncle Dumb said that the old lady has had nightmares lately and probably never went back to the old man's grave and was entrusted to read it, so go back and hope for it. ”

“Never been back? You mean, in all these years, you've never seen them leave your grandfather and go home?” I have some doubts.

“No.” Xiao Wu also seemed to see the confusion in my eyes, explaining: "Uncle Dumb, they are definitely not the murderers. They have been taking care of Grandpa's safety and clothing and living for so many years! When my parents died, I was raised by them. I was more close to them than any other family, and they would never have done it. ”

“Besides, Grandpa wasn't sick when Dumb Lady left, she coughed badly. ”

Having said that, they have served Wu for the rest of their lives and raised Xiao Wu more than their families. But when Wu Lao's illness was so serious, he went home and never went back.

It's all a little suspicious!

Go to their room. ”I turned around and went upstairs.

Uncle Dumb's room is also a simple surprise, with only one wooden bed and a standing wardrobe against the wall, nothing more.

The house is even cleaner and spotless, even the sheets and curtains are new.

“Do they usually do the same?” I asked.

“Yes,” said Wu. “The old lady loves to be clean and clean inside and out. ”

I walked to the front of the bed and looked, the sheets were flat, not even a single crease, and the quilt was folded squarely.

Open the wardrobe and observe carefully, although there are not many clothes, they should be folded up and hung, as neat as they are in a window.

But there's a problem here!

All clothes are worn by men, that is to say, by dumb uncles.

There's not even a woman's clothes in the closet! Not even winter clothes!

Didn't Dumb Lady go home? It's not like you're never coming back. How could you take all your clothes?

“Where's Uncle Dumb?” I asked urgently.

“He... here.” Xiao Wu just said half and suddenly pointed behind me.

I turned around and Dumb didn't know when to stand behind me.

Without waiting for me to ask, he extended his finger to Wu, pointed to me again, then turned his head and left.

“Brother Zhang, Uncle Dumb told me to stay here and let you go with him.” Wu explained to me with some confusion what dumb gestures meant.

What the hell is he doing?

I stunned, “Okay, you wait here. I'll be right there.” After that, he followed Uncle Dumb downstairs.

Uncle Dumb quickly walked out of the small building and headed straight for the backyard.

The backyard is a small, small garden with lots of tall, low trees, full of flowers and a wonderful false mountain in the middle.

Uncle Dumb took me around the fake mountain and stopped under an oak tree.

He pointed under the tree, rubbed his finger around his neck, and finally pointed at himself, and the tears came down.

Now, I knew immediately.

He's saying that Dumb Lady was buried under this oak tree and he killed it himself!

And why is that?

They were both deaf and mute, lost their child companionship to look for them, and then stayed in Wu Lao's collection, depended on each other for decades, how could they have made such a hard hand?

Uncle Dumb wiped a tear, grabbed a grass from the ground, and in his nostrils, his ears were constantly drawn, then bowed his waist, pretending not to cough.

This means... Dumb Lady has a strange illness, she has grass leaves in her nose and ears, and Wu Lao is also sick?

So Wu Lao's curse was brought back by Dumb Lady?

I also grabbed a handful of grass from the ground and placed it in my heart, spreading my five fingers in comparison to the flowering motion. Uncle Dumb nodded at first sight.

Now I finally get it.

Old Wu is not well, has lived in the small building and almost never goes out. Those who want to harm him will not dare to come in easily, deeply afraid that Wu Lao has any forbidden formation - although Wu Lao's cultivation is not good, after all, he is an old senior in the pubic world, it is still easy to get some shelter shade.

So the man put a curse on the defenseless mute.

After all, the food, clothing and accommodation of these people are taken care of by the Dumb Lady, who may have to go out often to buy ingredients and household items.

And this curse must have some specific pharmacy that only works for Wu Lao.

Once Wu Lao Zhongzheng, the curse hidden in the Dumb Lady also broke out.

The flourishing grass leaves spread out of the organs, drilled out from the five officials, and the natural pain was immense.

That's exactly what the wooden curse is all about!

At that time, Old Wu had been defeated, there was nothing he could do. Dumb uncle could only kill Dumb Lady in pain, lest she suffer so much!

However, he was afraid that Wu would be sad when he found out the truth and made up a set of lies.

Dumb Lady's clothes must have been burned and buried, flattened by sheets, and the room was spotless and everything stayed the way it was.

Uncle Dumb must be sad, but he can't say it!

Uncle Dumb's tears flowed, suddenly pointing to the oak tree, and then pointing to the small building, pounding me down on my knees.

He's begging me to save Wu Lao, help Xiao Wu, and the mute madam has avenged this!

I lifted Uncle Dumb up and slapped him hard on the chest. Let him rest assured, I will find out for sure. Give justice to the dead!

After that, I pulled out a soul charm and threw it away, so that Madam Dumb's soul could rest early.

But then I found out that the spiritual charm actually floated out.

Oh, no!

The Dumb Lady's soul is not here.

The man who cursed not only took his life, but also his soul!

Well, let me see what kind of cow ghost snake you are.

I pointed to the small building, indicating that Uncle Dumb went back to take care of Xiao Wu first, then followed the spirit charm to chase over.

Jump out of the courtyard wall and follow Long Street south, it's the middle of the night.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and even cars are rare.

Under the bright lantern, the spiritual charm suddenly went forward, and I followed closely behind.

The faster the spiritual charm flew, I chased a little hard, turned across the intersection and saw a taxi waiting for work, and opened the door and sat up.

The driver asked me where I was going. I said I had just arrived in Xi 'an. Just take a look around at the night view and leave it open.

The driver was kind enough to talk to me about Shaanxi's landscape, while recommending various attractions to me, what Datang Furong Garden, Dayan Tower, Xiaoyan Tower, Zhong Drum Tower, if these are not spectacular enough, not far from this, there are also military horse figurines.

I don't have any spare time to listen to him introduce, while being distracted to cope, staring in the direction of spiritual charm flying, casually tell him to turn left and right.

Strangely enough, if the soul knows, and leads the spirit to pursue, it must also follow the two-point line. But this spiritual charm went straight along the highway, as if I was afraid I wouldn't catch up!
