Chapter 81 Folk custom inspector (daily update +2w1(1/4)
The villager took them to Aunt Xiumei's home.
"Anyway, she has no other close relatives. All the useful things in the house have been taken away. There are no valuables left. You can do what you want." The villager said before leaving.
He walked to the door, turned around and reminded them: "But you have to pay attention, there are some things that are best not to be touched."
Bai Qiuye asked: "What?"
The villager said: "Aunt Mei doesn't believe in anything, but she keeps those things at home... that are dedicated to gods, such as incense, candles and wax."
Qu Yihan felt strange and asked: "She doesn't believe it anymore. Why do we have these at home?"
"So you don't know, she is in the incense business in our village." The villagers said, "She went crazy some time ago. We living nearby were suspicious that she wanted to make this money again but didn't believe it, so we took her
God was offended."
The villager added: "When she goes crazy, no one else will dare to ask for these things."
Bai Qiuye asked: "Where is Aunt Mei?"
The villagers said: "Who knows where she is?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly hissed.
"It's strange to say that before, she stayed at home every day. If I hadn't come to her door to find something to do with her, I wouldn't have known she was crazy." The villager said, "Why did she suddenly disappear today?"
He himself didn't care much, he just said hello and walked out the door.
Suddenly, only four people, Bai Qiuye, were left in the room.
It's morning now, but the entire mountainside village, except for a ray of sunshine after the morning rain, quickly became gloomy again.
There was no one in Aunt Xiumei's room, so the lights were not lit. The room was so dark that it seemed like it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Situ Li walked to the window and wanted to push the window open, but suddenly there was a sound.
"The windows of her house are sealed."
Upon hearing this, the other people immediately went to other windows.
I saw that other windows in her house were also sealed tightly.
"It's a bit strange." Wang Yongjian said, "Other villagers' homes are not sealed like this."
Bai Qiuye said: "She was hiding something to make the house look like this."
After she finished speaking, she picked up a yellow talisman paper from the bedside in the bedroom.
"There are traces of pasting on the back." Bai Qiuye looked at the window above the bed, "There are also some yellow marks on the edge of the window."
"Did she stick this talisman on the window before?" Qu Yihan said, "But why did she stick it there?"
Wang Yongjian thought for a while and said, "Could it be that a ghost came to the window next to her bed at night to look in? After she closed the window, the ghost went to other windows to peek. With no other choice, she
Nail all the windows."
Qu Yihan followed his words and said: "It still didn't work. The ghost flowed in from under the crack of the door like a melted cheese slice."
Wang Yongjian said: "I'm hungry."
Qu Yihan said: "Who is not?"
Situ Li: "..."
They didn't eat at all last night, and the food at the wedding banquet looked like it was made of white wax to them.
Wang Yongjian was even worse. He didn't even drink the water, so he vomited it out.
I went to the Gu Niang Temple in the evening, and when I came back, I caused a fire in Wu's house.
Finally, Wu Ruonan's matter came to an end, and he encountered the man in the young couple hanging from the archway.
So until now, their stomachs have been empty.
A series of gurgling sounds suddenly sounded in the room, it was their stomachs that were protesting.
Even Situ Li pressed his abdomen with a sullen face.
At this time, they heard a sound of footsteps, and suddenly a figure appeared on the wall in front of them.
Turning around, I saw an unkempt woman standing at the door.
She was about in her early fifties, with a pale face, dark circles under both eyes, and a haggard appearance.
He was wearing a dirty piece of clothing that had not been washed for several days and had been dusted outside, making him look a little embarrassed.
She saw Bai Qiuye and the others staring at her and asked, "Who are you?"
Bai Qiuye initially thought she was Aunt Xiumei as mentioned by Sister Qiang, but when she spoke, she was a little unsure.
Isn't Aunt Xiumei already crazy? Now this person looks very sane. Apart from her appearance, she doesn't look like a madman.
Bai Qiuye asked: "Are you Aunt Xiumei's friend?"
The woman said: "Friend? What friend? I am Wu Xiumei."
Bai Qiuye said: "We heard from people in the village that you are crazy."
Wu Xiumei said: "Isn't it normal for people who can't hear the music to think that those who dance are crazy?"
Bai Qiuye and others did not expect that Wu Xiumei not only did not look crazy, but also spoke to the point.
It seems that Aunt Xiumei became a heretic in the village not just because she did not believe in gods and Buddhas.
Situ Li asked: "But they didn't stop us from coming to see you."
"Whether you see me or not and whether you believe my words are two different things." Wu Xiumei said, "Even if you come to see me, if you don't believe me, it's all in vain."
"There must be a reason why they treat you like this, right?" Situ Liu asked, "What's the conflict between you and them?"
Wu Xiumei said: "I just reminded them that the end of this village is coming soon."
The remaining people looked at each other.
If the Great Yin Flying Virgin can't stop it, the end of this village will begin after noon today.
From this perspective, Wu Xiumei did not say anything wrong.
"They don't like this kind of topic and think I'm cursing the village." Wu Xiumei said, "But if I can curse, why should I insist on my own ideas and not believe in anything like I do now."
After she finished speaking, she asked Bai Qiuye and the others: "Do you believe what I said now?"
Bai Qiuye said: "You are not crazy."
A smile appeared on Wu Xiumei's face: "Then let me make breakfast for you. I see you are hungry, and you have been accompanying me while talking."
Wang Yongjian on the side suddenly blushed.
Wu Xiumei patted the dust on her clothes, walked out of the room, and walked to the kitchen next to her.
Qu Yihan said: "Sister, how about we ask her now how to solve the talisman?"
Situ Li glanced at her and said, "Do you really think Wu Xiumei is not crazy?"
Qu Yihan was startled: "She seemed normal when she spoke, and you also -"
She paused: "Are you lying to her?"
Bai Qiuye nodded and said, "What she said is contradictory. If you don't believe it, why bother putting up talismans at home?"
"If four strangers you have never met entered your home without your permission," Situ Li said, "how would you react?"
Qu Yihan thought for a while and said: "I will be surprised and scared, and then kick us out?"
Situ Li said: "However, when Wu Xiumei saw us, she acted very calm. It was precisely because she acted too calm that there were many doubts about her."
Wang Yongjian also nodded: "And she nailed the doors and windows so tightly. If it was just to prevent theft, why was she so calm when she saw us? If it wasn't to prevent theft, it would be different from what she said before."
For a while, everyone felt that Wu Xiumei seemed to be hiding something.
Bai Qiuye said: "I haven't looked at the whole house just now, let's take a look while she is cooking."
The four people searched the house again and saw what the villagers told them.
The incense and paper money that Wu Xiumei sold were placed in a room. In addition, there were all kinds of paper figures, carriages and horses.
Qu Yihan said: "I suspect that the paper bride prepared by the aunt was bought from her."
Wang Yongjian is the person who has the most contact with paper brides. He nodded and said: "Looking at the painting skills and production techniques, it should be right."
Bai Qiuye pressed a peace charm under his hand and walked into the room.
There were paper figures erected next to the four walls of the room. They stared at them at the door of the room with their cold and empty eyes, looking very weird.
But apart from the visual effects, Bai Qiuye didn't feel anything was wrong with this room.
It's not even as scary as the utility room in Wu Guangzong's house.
After all, there was a body that died accidentally in the utility room of Wu Guangzong's house.
"It doesn't seem to be a problem." Situ Li said, "The villagers are spreading rumors."
Bai Qiuye said: "We may not have seen the problem yet."
At this moment, Bai Qiuye saw a corner of talisman paper from under a pile of paper money.
