2. Chapter 2 Strange things in the old village
Twelve years later, I was seventeen years old and just graduated from high school.
The day after the college entrance examination, something happened to the family of the village chief’s younger brother, Uncle Hu, and everyone in the village rushed to Uncle Hu’s house. I followed my dad back to my hometown.
Back then, after a big fight with my grandfather, my father went to the county town to do building materials business, and the family conditions improved. I followed my parents to the county town. Only my grandfather insisted on staying in his hometown in the small village and refused to leave. My father had no choice but to let him go. When he was in poor health, he would take him to the county town for retirement.
But every long holiday, my father would send me back to my hometown, and my grandfather would force me to learn some ancient books and fist skills every day. No matter how I objected, it still took twelve years like this.
Du Ziteng's father also went to the county town to develop. He started as a contractor and now he runs a medium-sized real estate company. The family's conditions are much better than those of my family. Our two families have good relationships and business dealings. Therefore, Du Ziteng has become my best friend since I was a child.
This time, after returning to my hometown, my father and I passed by our own home but didn’t see my grandfather. There was a thin layer of dust on the table at home, indicating that there had been no one here for several days. My father and I were not surprised. My grandfather often received jobs such as Feng Shui. If we walked far, we would take several days to go, and there were often no one at home.
Uncle Hu’s house is located at the east end of the village. It is a small four-story building with a small foreign house. The house is very beautiful, with tiled exterior walls, marble walls, and a large yard, which is much better than the second floor of the village chief’s house not far away.
Before we could reach Uncle Hu's house, the village chief came over eagerly and asked with a panic look: "Xiao Fang, where is your father? I want to look at him, but everyone said that I haven't seen him for several days. Can you contact him?"
My dad shook his head, my grandfather never used high-tech like mobile phones and TVs.
The village chief's face suddenly turned a little ugly. In the villages, my grandfather, a senior Yin and Yang, and the other two, they only know some superficiality, and have a bad reputation. My grandfather's skills are very trustworthy by the whole village.
After asking, my father found out that something strange happened to Uncle Hu’s family.
yi months ago, Uncle Hu and the village chief's 80-year-old father passed away. I was preparing for the college entrance examination at that time, but my father didn't tell me. Unexpectedly, the old man had just passed away for half a month, and Uncle Hu's mother also passed away. That's all. Three days ago, Uncle Hu's daughter was only thirteen years old, and she was inexplicably crazy. Last night, Uncle Hu also died of a sudden myocardial infarction.
Now, Aunt Hu is only a normal person in the Hu family, but she was also hit and was a little confused. Even the funeral was handled by the village chief's family. Aunt Hu was lying on the bed and talking nonsense, bursting into tears.
When I heard this, my heart beat wildly, and I felt a vague feeling of anxiety.
Dad smiled bitterly. He had heard of strange things about Uncle Hu's family before, but he didn't expect that it was so weird.
At this moment, Du Ziteng and his father Du Wei arrived in his Audi. When they heard about the strange incident in the Hu family, they were also frightened.
"Nanwa, do you think it's a haunted?" Du Ziteng murmured in a low voice, looking at me with a gloomy face. Since this guy got lost in Phoenix Mountain when he was a child, he firmly believed that there were ghosts in this world.
"You're so bad!" Uncle Du heard it, his face turned black, and he slapped Du Ziteng on the back, looking at him warningly, not allowing him to talk nonsense.
But I found that my father's face had completely changed, and he frowned when he looked at the Du family compound with deep eyes.
"I don't know if there are ghosts, but this yard is extremely yin and should not be simple." I hesitated for a moment and expressed my judgment.
My dad looked at me with some surprise, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
I felt deep in my heart. I knew my dad so well. He and grandpa must have something to hide from me, but now it is not the time to ask about this. Fatty and I followed the elders into the entrance of the Du family courtyard.
The yard is hundreds of square meters, and now it is a greenhouse, which is a temple. The Du family is thin, so the temple is relatively deserted. There are many people who help, coming and going in the yard and the house, but strangely, these people are all wearing two clothes.
"Uncle, are these people who work in Taoist temples a little bit jealous?" I was a little surprised. There are only ones in our villages who work in Taoist temples. Although the level is average, the price is very reasonable. In addition, they are in the same village and will take care of them.
"Don't mention it." The village chief sighed depressedly and said, "After the accident last night, I quickly contacted the people in the dojo. Uncle Ergou's yi group came first, but before the venue was ready, their expressions changed drastically and turned them off. Then, I looked for the Taoist Master Sect in Xiangyang Village. They were the same. They refused to leave less than ten minutes after they arrived here. It was almost early morning, and I found Taoist Master Zhang and finally confirmed the matter."
I frowned secretly when I heard it. In general, after receiving the operation, the Taoist sect would not refuse without major accidents. The Hu family was rejected by two groups in a row, and things were never simple.
"Fortunately, Master Zhang would have made a move, otherwise it would be unreasonable. There was no one to build a temple." The village chief shook his head and went there. My father and Uncle Du were also arranged by the village chief to help, leaving the fat man and I looking at each other and laughing bitterly, and we followed into the yard, and suddenly a chill came.
The feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger. I wonder if it was an illusion, but I looked up at the dazzling light in the morning. Not only did I not have any warmth, but it was even colder.
"Damn, why is this yard so cold? It's already May weather, what the hell!" Although the fat man was very yang, he couldn't stand the biting coldness. He couldn't help but shivered and then leaned against me.
At this time, a faint warm current seemed to appear on the middle of my eyebrows, and my whole body no longer felt cold.
"What a familiar feeling." I frowned and thought, but I couldn't afford to see when I had experienced this situation. I just felt a little dazed.
"Let's go, Nanwa, let's go to the house to warm up. It's windy outside, it's so cold!" The fat man pushed me and walked around like the house.
"Your sister, isn't there any wind here?" I glared at the fat man, thinking that this kid was too unreliable.
"Who said there was no wind? Look at the yellow tusk tree at the entrance of the yard. Wasn't it blown loudly?" The fat man looked at me for no reason.
My body was stiff, I stopped and looked at the gate of the yard. Sure enough, the dense branches of the yellow gua trees fluttered in the wind. I looked at the yard carefully again with fear, and my face finally changed completely.
The fat man didn't pay attention to my expression and pushed me into the hall of the western-style building without saying a word. Suddenly, a more cold breath came to his face. The fat man trembled violently without any precaution.
"It's weird!"
I was even more sure that the Hu family's affairs were not simple. Although I received scientific education directly, my grandfather is a famous Yin-Yang master in the whole village, and he also knows some strange skills. When approaching several villages, if there are any supernatural events or if you need to see Feng Shui, I will look for my grandfather.
But for some reason, since I was five years old, my grandfather deliberately avoided me every time he did these things, and even my dad didn't let me get in touch with these strange things.
