Chapter 20 Strange Old Man

It was dark and windy at night, and suddenly a group of paper people and horses appeared out of thin air, and they dug up the madman's grave. This scene made Li Ergou almost unsteady.

"Fatty, why do they want to dig the madman's grave?" Li Ergou asked the fat man.

He found that since the appearance of those paper men and horses, the expression on the fat man's face has become unprecedentedly solemn.

"Brother Ergou, something is wrong. Wolong Village may be in big trouble."

The fat man was sweating profusely at this time. Even when facing the ghost-faced man, he did not show such a embarrassment.

"Oh, how do you say this?" Li Ergou said in confusion.

Those paper men are digging the madman's grave. What's the matter with Guan Wolong Village?

Li Ergou felt that the matter of paper man and paper horse was probably caused by the ghost-faced man. What he couldn't understand was why the ghost soldiers came out of the pond?

What's the use of their desire for the corpse of a lunatic?

Twenty years ago, the madman was frightened when he was vigilant on the construction site of Fengyuan Building.

During the funeral this afternoon, there was even a female ghost in ancient costume pressing her in the coffin of a madman. Now, even the body was taken away by the paper man.

These things should not be accidental, but there must be some connection.

Li Ergou is not as capable as Uncle San, so it is normal not to tell, but fat people are different.

Fatty is the successor of the Heavenly Master Dao. If he can't even answer such a thing, it would be too embarrassing to his master.

"The Yin soldiers digging the body, either this man knew something ulterior motive, or he offended the local city god and was retaliated against." The fat man explained.

"What then?" Li Ergou nodded and asked.

He didn't know whether the madman offended the City God, but Li Ergou was sure that the madman must have encountered something when he was vigilant at the construction site.

Otherwise, he would not have been crazy for twenty years, and even after his death, he would not be at peace.

"No matter what possibility it is, the madman is from Wolong Village. His tomb was chosen by your third uncle. Do you think those ghost soldiers will give up?" the fat man asked back.

After hearing what the fat man said, Li Ergou realized that he thought of a lot of things.

Immediately afterwards, a bigger question was placed in front of him.

Could it be that the third uncle rushed back from Yangcheng overnight and helped the madman find the tomb, with his real purpose being to fight against those Yin soldiers?

Since that's the case, Uncle San should have known for a long time what the madman had experienced back then.

But why didn't he say it?

Li Ergou felt that the key to the matter was still with Uncle San.

"Brother Ergou, you know now why I have to let you go back to Wolong Village, right? That thing twenty years ago was too complicated!"

The fat man sighed as if he had seen what Li Ergou was thinking clearly.

"Let's go, Mr. Fat, let's go home and ask Uncle San to understand." Li Ergou nodded and said.

Regardless of whether the fat man really helped him or not, Li Ergou wanted to completely understand the madman's affairs.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The fat man was silent for a moment and said, "You can also ask your third uncle by the way. The sky lantern on your right shoulder is extinguished. I think your third uncle must be aware of it."

After the fat man reminded him, Li Ergou suddenly realized that he suddenly thought of some possibility, and then he couldn't help but burst into cold sweat.

Li Ergou's mother once told him that before the madman died, he would tell everyone he saw that there would be two people in the village, one living and the other dead.

Now it seems that the dead man is probably referring to him.

The sky lantern was turned off, and ordinary people could not see anything, but in the eyes of those who were about to die, it was actually no different from the dead.

The madman's cemetery was gloomy and terrifying. Li Ergou and Fatty did not delay, so they took the flashlight and walked towards the village.

When they were almost at the entrance of the village, they encountered another strange thing.

Li Ergou first heard a strange bell sound, and then he saw an old man driving a carriage slowly towards the village on the road far away.

"Who will it be so late?" Li Ergou said in confusion.

Suddenly seeing such a strange old man, Li Ergou and the fat man stopped and were about to take a closer look when the carriage came.

But the moment they waited for the carriage to pass by, they all couldn't help but take a breath.

Apart from the hair, the horse was completely transparent, and the muscles, blood vessels and other tissues were clearly visible.

The old man in the carriage was also very strange. His left half of his body was full of blood, just like a young and middle-aged man in his twenties, but his right half was extremely withered, leaving only skin and bones.

Li Ergou was stunned and even forgot to give way to the carriage.

"Brother Ergou, go away!"

Seeing this, the fat man quickly pulled Li Ergou and then he almost avoided the carriage.

And the old man, as if he hadn't seen Li Ergou and the others, drove straight into the village in a carriage.

Li Ergou came to his senses and suddenly felt a strong coldness, and his body shivered involuntarily.

He looked at the carriage with lingering fear, and then he realized that a large box was pulled on the carriage, and the box was covered with a piece of red cloth.

Although I don’t know what is in the box, I always give people an extremely cold feeling.

Li Ergou and the fat man stared at the monster old man driving the carriage until his figure completely disappeared from sight.

"Brother Ergou, do you know him?" The fat man asked Li Ergou.

Li Ergou nodded first, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, it looks a bit like the second grandfather in our village."

The full name of the second grandfather is "Liu Zhongyi". Because he ranks second in the family, Li Ergou has called him the second grandfather since he was a child.

Speaking of the second grandfather, he is not very popular in the village.

The reason is that he is introverted and likes to be alone, and gradually becomes marginalized.

But the situation just now was special, and the weird old man was not a human or a ghost, Li Ergou was not sure that the person driving the carriage must be Grandpa II.

"Fat Master, do you know what is in the box on the carriage?" Li Ergou said curiously.

The fat man shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's not a good thing anyway. When the carriage passed by, I just felt a chill in my heart."

Even the fat man felt cold, so this matter was probably not that simple.

After returning home, Zhou Yun had already gone to bed, and Li Ergou did not find his third uncle.

In the whole yard, only Li Ergou's grandfather was sitting there, smoking a dry cigarette alone. After seeing Li Ergou and the others back, he also got up and went back to the house.

"Fat Master, you should also take a break early. If you have any problems, we will talk about it tomorrow."

After Li Ergou greeted the fat man, he returned to his room.

He lay in bed but couldn't sleep.

Li Ergou could not understand why paper men and paper horses could have such great ability? There was also the transparent horse, and the strange old man who looked like he was neither human nor ghost.

Is that weird old man the second grandfather?

Why is the right half of his body dry and the left half so young?

The more Li Ergou thought about it, the more headache he felt, so he simply ignored it and fell asleep with his head covering.

The next morning, Li Ergou was still sleeping, but was woken up by a rush knock on the door.

Li Ergou got up and opened the door and saw that the village chief Liu Hui was standing at the door with a anxious look on his face.

Seeing that it was the door that Li Ergou opened, he quickly asked, "Egou, is your grandfather here?"

"Here, Uncle Hui, is something wrong?" Li Ergou asked.

"Oh, something strange happened in the village. Let your grandpa get up and go and have a look with me." The village chief sighed and said.
