Chapter eight hundred and sixty-ninth episode
I looked at Lao Huo and Tan Jin in a little embarrassed manner, hoping to get their opinions. After all, with my current state, it is still difficult to make a decision.
We cannot achieve full trust.
From the beginning of speaking, it has only been less than an hour since Huang Ya has not yet fully gained our trust, not to mention that we are also wary of his identity. I have not even heard of the existence of the Corpse Sect Branch from other people.
Huang Ya may have seen my concern and begged to me: "Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble if I stay by your side!"
Old Huo and Tan Jin couldn't stand it anymore and pleaded with Huang Ya at me: "Forget it, it won't cause any trouble to bring her around us. Besides, you can't bear to see a girl die like this on the road."
I waved my hand and agreed.
But along the way, it was a little embarrassed.
Originally, three people were walking together and were in the same carriage, and they were chatting completely. Now, there was an extra girl who was added and the atmosphere would inevitably be a little stiff.
But the car arrived soon.
We got off the bus and transferred. Because there were so many storms in the car and there was no time to rest, I sat behind the car and leaned against Lao Huo and closed my eyes and took a nap for a while.
It takes about three or five hours to get from the city to Majiagou, and I slept very comfortably.
When we woke up, we had already arrived at the entrance of the village.
My father was already waiting for me at the entrance of the village. When he saw me get out of the car, he glanced at Lao Huo and Tan Jin who were following me and hurriedly urged me: "Go back and burn incense for your uncle."
I nodded in a daze.
My uncle's house is very unfamiliar to me. A woman stood in the main hall wiping her tears. My father hurriedly stepped forward and introduced to the woman, "This is my son Yiming." After that, he pushed me again: "Boy, this is your aunt."
"Auntie."
I said politely.
My aunt nodded and exchanged a few more greetings with my dad.
The others had already ended their divorce, and because I had not done those things because I had just arrived, my father quickly asked me to kneel in front of my uncle's portrait and burn two pieces of paper.
There were two boys of my age kneeling beside me, and they seemed to be my uncle's son.
Their acting skills are quite good. They kneel there and burn paper, talking, and even wiping a few tears, but I didn't feel anything when I looked at my uncle's portrait in front of me.
Maybe because of my unfamiliarity, I have never met my uncle and didn’t have too much feelings for him. Now I feel a little embarrassed when I kneel in front of his portrait.
My aunt's face was a little bad.
My dad quickly stepped forward and kicked me gently in the butt: "You kid, burn paper quickly!"
Only then did I realize that after igniting the yellow paper in my hand with the fire in the brazier, I pretended to squeeze a few drops of tears and then put the burning yellow paper into the brazier.
But something unexpected happened to me.
When the prince in my hand was put into the brazier, the flame suddenly changed from bright red to deep blue, and then the flame suddenly went out in the brazier.
Everyone was shocked.
This is the first time I have seen such a scene.
My aunt said to me a little angry: "It's all you disrespectful to your uncle just now, I'm afraid your uncle will be angry!"
But I looked innocent.
I had no feelings for my uncle, so I knelt in front of his portrait, and just pretended to squeeze out two tears. It was considered to have gone through the normal procedure. Who knew that such a situation would happen? I didn't know how to continue for a while.
Dad stepped forward and said in my ear, "Why don't you kowtow to your uncle and apologize?"
I hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice, muttering: "Uncle, my nephew is a little sudden this time. I have never met you before. If there is anything offensive, I hope you can forgive me."
Everything seems to be over.
The flames in the brazier also started to burn.
But my aunt was still a little unhappy. Maybe something happened just now, and she felt that I still disrespect my uncle, so she gave me two more pieces of yellow paper and asked me to give it to my uncle again as follows the steps just now.
I had no choice but to suppress the impatientness in my heart and took the prince over, and then pretended to be like I had just now, and put the yellow paper into the brazier.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the flames burning.
After the simple steps, my father led me to introduce myself and the people sitting in the main hall, and asked me to say hello to these elders one by one and recognize my face.
They are all people I have never seen before. The two young people who were about the same age as me who were kneeling in front of my uncle's portrait just now were indeed my uncle's children.
After doing all this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood in the yard and stretched.
"Is this done?"
Old Huo and Tan Jin, who were standing in the yard, came up and asked at me in confusion.
I shook my head and said, "What rural people value most is a form. In addition to the current affairs, I'm afraid there are some things that will be enough for me to be busy next."
I was a little helpless.
Fortunately, I am not my uncle's family and I don't need too much etiquette.
The three of them sat in the yard chatting. After hearing the stories I told before, Lao Huo and Tan Jin suddenly became interested again and said to me excitedly: "Didn't you say that there is a very evil willow tree in the village? Where is that tree? Otherwise, let's go over and take a look now."
I looked at them with contempt: "You two are sure you want to go there?"
Old Huo Tanjin nodded.
Huang Ya asked worriedly, "What willow tree?"
I roughly told Huang Ya the story I told Lao Huo and Tan Jin on the train. The matter was very simple, but it sounded a little strange.
Huang Ya looked at me with a worried look: "Let's not go, what you said seems a bit strange. If you get something dirty in the past..."
Tan Jin said disapprovingly: "Then what's the matter? With the means we have in our hands now, one or two lonely ghosts will really not cause any trouble to us."
Seeing that the two of them were so stubborn, I had to agree to take them with me.
I'm afraid even if I don't take them with me, they will ask the people in the village for information, and they will still go to that place on their own initiative, so I can't help but take them to the willow tree to take a look.
That's it.
I asked my father that there was nothing else before I took them with me.
