Chapter 30 Yu Xu
Chen Jiangtao and the other two came outside Zhangjia Village. The surrounding forest was dense, and the wind was pouring out of the village, bringing coldness. A few brave classmates had already vowed to go into the village with them, but when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they all gave in because of the cold wind.
On the way, Miao Li contacted Yu Xu and after arriving in Zhangjia Village, she could go directly to his house.
When I walked into Zhangjia Village, I felt that the village was very quiet, without the common noise of naughty children, and even the crowing of chickens and dogs.
After walking along the main road into Zhangjia Village for a while, the three of them came to a huge Kuan Lane. The doors of the houses on both sides of Kuan Lane faced south. Chen Jiangtao took a special look and found no feng shui problems.
As the huge alley on the main road of the village, I didn’t even see a single figure, as if people didn’t dare to go out.
A gust of wind blew, and some dead leaves and yellow things floated on the ground, adding to silence. If it weren't for the fact that there were two candles lit by each household, Chen Jiangtao would have thought he had entered a deserted village without a man.
After walking in the broad alley, a yellow thing flew to Zhang Min. She reached out and grabbed it. After seeing what it was, she almost screamed. It was a piece of yellow paper money. Zhang Min asked in a trembling voice: "No one can see in broad daylight, and there are such things flying everywhere, ghost village... ghost village..."
Miao Li grabbed Zhang Min and comforted her: "Don't scare yourself, Minmin, there is no ghost in this world. Besides, I have never heard of any ghost who dares to appear in broad daylight..."
Chen Jiangtao took the yellow paper money from Zhang Min's hand and looked carefully: "This is the yellow paper square hole money. If it is not burned, it will be directly scattered into the air. It is indeed used to sacrifice to ghosts and gods..."
"Click!"
At this time, a crisp sound suddenly sounded behind him, and Miao Li and Zhang Min were both startled. At the same time, they hugged Chen Jiangtao from left to right, trembling.
Chen Jiangtao turned around and saw a man in his fifties behind him. He was carefully moving his legs away from a broken branch.
After seeing Chen Jiangtao turn around, the man stretched out a finger and made a booing move in front of his mouth. Seeing his chest fluctuated violently, he was obviously scared.
After finally seeing someone, Chen Jiangtao asked the man politely: "Uncle, do you know how the Yu Xu family goes?"
The man moved his feet carefully. The branch was already drying smoothly. His movements were very light, but he still made a subtle sound. He finally moved his feet away from the branch.
Chen Jiangtao noticed that the man was already sweating profusely. The man walked to Chen Jiangtao and the other two and looked up and down. It seemed as if he had not heard Chen Jiangtao's questions and walked quietly again.
"Huh? What's going on with this person? Is it a deaf or a mute?" Miao Li whispered in surprise.
The man who had walked out for a while turned around and made a booing move towards them and left.
It seems that this person is neither deaf nor mute, he is just trying hard not to speak out.
This confused the three of them. Could it be that the Zhangjia Village Department allowed someone to speak? Chen Jiangtao was confused and turned someone from the corner of the street. After seeing the man clearly, Zhang Min quickly spoke: "Yu Xu!"
The person came over a few steps, pressed Zhang Min's mouth, made a booing move, then let go of the hand that held Zhang Min's mouth, looked vigilantly, walked in front and signaled Chen Jiangtao and the other two to follow.
What is this situation?
Watching Yu Xu sneaking into the village like the Japanese on TV.
Following Yu Xu towards the end of the street, Chen Jiangtao noticed that there were brand new door gods on the doors of each household. This was a bit strange. It was not the Spring Festival now, but May Day.
Do people in Zhangjia Village regard May Day as the Spring Festival?
When he arrived at a door at the end of the street, Yu Xu stopped and signaled Chen Jiangtao and others to follow him. Yu Xu did not knock on the door, but stomped his feet gently.
Chen Jiangtao heard a slight "Bang!" At this time, he noticed that Yu Xu was stepping on a thin wooden strip, which extended all the way to the door.
The door opened a crack, and Yu Xu brought Chen Jiangtao and others into the house. The light suddenly dimmed. Chen Jiangtao found that not only the windows of Yu Xu's house were closed, but also thick curtains were pulled.
After Chen Jiangtao and others entered the house, Yu Xu leaned out and took a look around, quickly closed the door. The edge of his door was covered with cotton cloth, and it was silent when it opened and closed.
There was a dim electric light on in the house, and as soon as I entered the house, I felt dull and depressed.
A room next to it was opened with a door open. Two people in their forties sat on the earthen kang in the room, all of whom were worried.
"Dad, mom, this is my classmate from Qing'an University." Yu Xu looked at the two of them and pointed at Chen Jiangtao and introduced them.
"Welcome! Welcome!" Yu Xu's mother said politely. His father squeezed out a smile, which was attached, but the expression on his face was still full of sorrow.
"Hey, why are you here at this time?" Yu Xu's father sighed: "We are actually from the village these days. I heard that Xiaoxu said you are coming, and there is no preparation. Please forgive me."
"Close the village?" This is the first time Chen Jiangtao heard about it.
Yu Xu's father smoked two drought tobacco and frowned and said, "Since the village moved its grave a few years ago, from May 1st to May 5th, in order to avoid evil ghosts, Zhangjia Village will seal off the village and post door gods, burn candles and put paper money, so villagers can try not to go out without going."
"Move the grave to avoid evil ghosts." Chen Jiangtao pondered, and then contacted the situation in Zhangjia Village that he saw when he came just now. He was already sure: "Have you been dead in your village for the past few years, and someone was digging the cemetery?"
Yu Xu's father was stunned: "How do you know?"
"I know." Chen Jiangtao was sure to make it: "Your village will become like this now. I think it was a question in Feng Shui..."
He kept pricking his ears and listening to Yu Xu's mother outside the house, suddenly raised his fingers and made a booing gesture.
"Shh..."
Yu Xu quickly pressed Chen Jiangtao's mouth. At the same time, Yu Xu's father lifted the curtains on the bed and looked at it for a while, then gently patted his chest and signaled that it was okay.
"Speak softly, don't let the evil spirits hear it, otherwise our family will be in trouble on May 5th."
Since entering this village, Chen Jiangtao felt that the atmosphere was wrong. When he entered Yu Xu's house, he felt that his parents were a bit ridiculous.
Chen Jiangtao lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong with you? We didn't see anyone when we entered the village just now. We finally met one later, and he didn't dare to speak."
Yu Xu replied in a low voice: "May 5th is coming soon. These two days are the time when the evil ghosts choose people. If anyone speaks loudly and hears it, the people in the family will die strangely."
Zhangjia Village, May 5th, people died.
These were originally just rumors on the Internet, but at this time, the two adults said it through Yu Xu's parents, and they still looked like that, and combined with the situation I saw when I entered the village just now.
Miao Li and Zhang Min both turned pale and asked in a trembling voice: "Evil ghost? Are there really evil ghosts in your village? How could such a thing be happening..."
"Shh..."
