There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 7 Chairman Xiuwen's Hometown
"Junior Sister, are you here too?" Xiuwen waved excitedly at them at the entrance of the village, "Junior Brother Wugui arrived three days ago."

"Why is he sad?" Chu Xiu half-closed his eyes and asked.

"Uh……"

Xiuwen lives in a mountain in the south near a city near the sea. It takes three days by train from the city where Zigui lives to the city where Xiuwen lives. There is only one bus a day from the urban area to the village where he lives, and it takes three hours to travel by car. At the foot of the mountain where he lived, he had to walk up the mountain to reach the village where Xiuwen lived.She and Chu Xiu climbed the mountain for more than an hour, and came here after almost getting lost. "Senior brother, please... please be patient." She gasped.

"Oh..." Xiuwen raised a big smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, don't worry about me, thank you for coming so far to my family's funeral."

She looked at Xiuwen's face, "It should."

"Let me take you to the place where you live. There is no hotel in the village. You can stay at my house. There are many rooms." Xiuwen happily took her hand and said.

But those rooms are now empty.She didn't say anything more, just nodded.

"Ah, Zigui!" When they arrived at the old house of the Chu family, Yu Wugui had already arrived, and there was a young man beside him, who looked somewhat similar to Yu Wugui.

"Little uncle?" She still remembered that this person was Yu Wugui's little uncle Yu Zhanxiang, who was the one who bailed them out when their night camp association found a dead body and was taken to the police station for questioning last time, "Why are you here?" ?”

"I sent this kid here by helicopter." Yu Zhan said in detail, "I'm really worried. Anyway, I've already taken a long vacation, so we'll come here together to see if there's anything we can do to help."

"Little uncle is really caring." It turned out that he came here by helicopter. The turtle is so rich that it really makes people grit his teeth, but he is really happy to have an uncle who supports him so much. "Didn't see the vice president, didn't he come over?" She looked around.

"Oh, Ali just went to the ancestral hall to help me prepare for the funeral." Xiuwen said, "Come on, come in!"

— General, you are finally back.

There seemed to be someone talking behind the scenes.She turned around, but saw no one.The wind gently blows across the path outside the door, raising a little dark orange dust.Is it an illusion?Shrugged, if it was a ghost, you should have seen it a long time ago, and Brother Chopsticks didn't say anything, and the bracelet didn't sense it, so it shouldn't matter, right?

It won't be long before Zigui realizes that he was very, very wrong.

The Xiuwen family is a prominent local family, and the old man of the Chu family is quite respected in the village. Although he is not the village head, his words carry more weight than the village head.In addition, the Chu family treated people very kindly and helpful, and the villagers expressed great sadness and regret for their death.The Chu family’s old house is quite old, with white walls and black tiles. It was just renovated not long ago, but no one knows when this house was built. It seems that this house has been here since the village existed. up.On the left and right sides of the door are dark red Spring Festival couplets, and there are two bright copper rings hanging on the dark wooden door. According to the tradition, the left and right door gods are pasted on the door, which is very powerful.The entrance is a stone screen with a width of about three meters. There is nothing on the screen, but the blankness makes people awe-inspiring.About ten steps around the screen is the main hall for receiving guests. The floor of the hall is covered with ancient orange checkerboard bricks. Facing the door are two master chairs and a square tea table. On both sides are rosewood chairs from the Ming Dynasty. There are eight chairs in total. The wood was black and shiny.Walking inside the main hall is the second hall.Out of the second hall is the atrium.In the center of the atrium is a small pool with white water lilies floating on the water. There is also a small island in the center of the pool, with various trees such as willows and plantains growing densely on it. landscape.The housing is a two-story building built around the atrium in an inverted "concave" shape, with a total of fifteen rooms.According to Xiuwen, the rooms on the second floor are basically the same. On the first floor, there is the dining room and the room of the old man of the Chu family, the husband and wife who are the parents of Xiuwen.Through the house is the back garden.The Chu family usually has a small population, only the old man of the Chu family and two old servants who are about fifty years old.Every July, this village will hold a mountain town festival - this custom has also existed since this village, it is to frighten the wandering ghosts living in the mountains, thank the mountain god for protection, and pray that the village will also be blessed in the coming year - Every time the Zhenshan Festival is held, the Chu family will gather in the old house. At that time, there were thirteen people including the servants. Now Xiuwen is the only one left.These students all lived on the second floor. From the room next to Xiuwen in the west, there were Huangfu Lv, Chu Xiu, Yu Wugui, Yu Zhanxiang, and Ning Zigui to the east.

There is no air or light pollution in the countryside, and the air is very transparent. The stars at night are particularly bright, and even the sky is exceptionally clear.In this quiet small village, Zigui found that she couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she put on a thin coat and planned to go to the courtyard to look at the stars.The temperature in the village is several degrees lower than in the city, and the nights are quite chilly in early autumn.She went downstairs and found someone sitting on a rattan chair when she reached the atrium. "Senior Brother?" It turned out to be Senior Brother Xiuwen!

"It's Zigui? Why aren't you sleeping so late?" Xiuwen patted the chair beside him, motioning for her to sit down together.

"It's just that I can't sleep." She sat down next to Xiuwen, "Brother, life and death are a necessary stage for human beings, so don't be too sad."

Xiuwen curled the corner of his mouth, "I'm fine."

She shook her head, "But senior brother's eyes are crying. My grandpa said, don't force yourself to smile when you are sad, otherwise those who care about you will be more sad than you."

"Junior Sister..." Xiuwen always thought that he was very strong, and he had indeed done it. In the past few days, he could tell everyone that he was fine with a smile on his face, but why did he feel like crying at this moment?
"Crying does not mean that you are not strong. There is no one else here, so just cry." She patted her chest and said with a sense of loyalty, "I can lend you my shoulder!"

"Thank you..." Gently, Xiuwen hugged her and leaned his face on her shoulder.

She was right, Xiuwen was indeed a sensitive person, he was strong and considerate, so he didn't want anyone to worry.She patted Xiuwen on the back. At this time, let the senior brother vent his anger quietly, so that he can really cheer up.

In the corridor on the second floor, Huangfu Lvzheng was leaning against the colonnade, looking deeply at the two people in the atrium.Xiuwen is very stubborn, he knows that Xiuwen is sad, but he can't let Xiuwen vent it, unexpectedly Ning Zigui did it easily.It is true that Xiuwen's family died very strangely. Apart from arranging the funeral, what he has to do now is to investigate this matter carefully.He has always felt that junior sister Ning Zigui is not like an ordinary person. A while ago, he discovered that she was actually wearing an exorcism bracelet from the demon world. He had seen that bracelet in the catalog of "that guy". Could it be that Ning Zi Zigui is also that guy's client?And that Chu Xiu who suddenly appeared, really interesting.

After a while, Xiuwen raised his head, "Thank you, junior sister, I feel much better."

"That's good. The next step is to go to sleep and have nothing to do." She nodded with a smile.

"How about you, Junior Sister?" Seeing that she was sitting still, Xiuwen asked.

"I'll sit down for a while." She waved to Xiuwen.

Soon, she was alone in the atrium.Closing her eyes, she suddenly found that the surroundings had become extremely quiet, the sound of insects had disappeared, and the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot. She rubbed her arms, and went back to the room. At least there was a quilt in the room to keep warm.

—General, general...

someone!She stopped in her tracks, "Who is...?" There can be no ghosts, right?But the bracelet didn't respond at all!She took two steps back, but she couldn't tell where the sound was coming from, as if it was pouring directly into her head. Even if she covered her ears, the sound kept pouring into her head like this. "Who is it? Come out!" She bravely shouted, but the volume was about the same as that of a newborn kitten.

—General, you are finally back!
