Chapter Eighteen Hometown 3
Shantou Village is located in a remote area and has not yet been opened to traffic. But Meng Jiu still insisted on driving the borrowed car for a long distance into the forest. He stopped the car until he could no longer move forward. Then, Meng Jiu started from the backup
He took out the three large bags that Song Xiao had brought and each of them got one. He also carried a small handbag on his back.
Du Yiyu frowned, and Meng Jiu said: "Don't frown, these are all necessities of life."
Du Yiyu still frowned, but he picked up a bag in an orderly manner. When he saw the BMW body that was messy with branches, he shook his head exaggeratedly and sighed: "I don't know who lent you the car. It's really unlucky.
."
Meng Jiu said indifferently: "It's okay. The car owner has easy money anyway, so he won't care about this loss."
Du Yiyu smiled and said: "I wonder, how can some people be so stupid that you can only scare them and get fooled?"
"Don't you understand? The richer people are, the more timid they are, and the more shady the source of their money, the more superstitious they become."
"You keep doing this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"This is called a big deal maker who doesn't stick to trivial matters. These people's money will not be deceived unless they are deceived!"
Du Yiyu smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything else, but Song Xiao suddenly said: "You defrauded them of their money, and they will get even worse and defraud others to get it back."
Song Xiao's words stunned both of them. Meng Jiu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. However, even if I don't lie, they will still lie to others. Moreover, I just plucked out a piece of their chicken feathers."
That’s all, it won’t cause the consequences you mentioned.”
Song Xiao smiled and said: "You are right, I was just talking casually."
"Really?" Meng Jiu looked at Song Xiao and felt that he didn't think he was just 'talking casually'...
After walking for about an hour, the three of them saw the ink lines and talisman written by Song Xiao.
Meng Jiu only glanced at it and felt that the ink lines and talismans were filled with powerful spells, but... the spell felt very strange to people. It seemed to be a pirated Taoist spell. He wanted to ask Du Yiyu, but was met with "
"I haven't learned magic" was blocked back. Song Xiao wanted to ask, but Meng Jiu muttered that he didn't know how to explain his feelings, but he was certain of one thing, that is, these talismans were indeed protecting the village.
As soon as the three entered the village, they attracted the attention of the villagers and showed obvious fear and rejection. Several children even ran away screaming "monster" when they saw Song Xiao.
After finally returning to Song Xiao's house in the disgusted eyes of the villagers, he closed the door. Song Xiao wiped out three chairs with a cloth, asked Du and Meng to sit down and said, "I'm sorry, the villagers are a little scrupulous about me, and it embarrasses you too."
Actually, it doesn’t matter if they avoid me like this, I’m also afraid of bringing disaster to the villagers.”
Meng Jiu looked at Song Xiao's gloomy expression and suddenly didn't know how to comfort him. Why did this delicate man always make him look stupid! Before he could speak, Du Yiyu suddenly said: "You don't have to be so pushy.
Right? In fact, you care about their opinions and hope they can understand you, accept you, even sympathize with you, right? "
Meng Jiu was startled and whispered: "Hey"
Du Yiyu ignored Meng Jiu who winked at him and continued to say coldly: "However, you are really a little self-righteous. Do you think that you alone can decide the fate of this village? You think that without it, no one in this mountain village can survive.
?I don’t think so. I think everyone is still living well. To put it bluntly, don’t you want Meng Jiulai just because you want him to fight tooth and nail for you?”
"Hey, hey!" Meng Jiu almost wanted to jump over and cover Du Yiyu's mouth. This man is definitely capable of killing a human body completely with words!
Sure enough, Song Xiao suddenly showed an excited look on his face and said loudly: "You are right, I am self-righteous! I shouldn't trouble you, this is my own business!"
Du Yiyu ignored Song Xiao's yelling at all, stood up and walked towards the door of the house, saying: "But then again, those who don't know how to unite when they are in danger, instead they just put the responsibility on you and coax you."
People who leave are even worse. And not only do you not hate them, you also think about them..." He stopped by the door, looked at Song Xiao's face that was stunned by what he said, and smiled: "You have bravery in your character.
And the nature of kindness is much stronger than mine."
Song Xiao was stunned by Du Yiyu's words, but he immediately understood that this man was actually comforting him. In an instant, his eyes became moist, and he quickly turned around and quietly wiped away the tears that were about to come out of his eyes, but there was no
Seeing Du Yiyu looking at him thoughtfully... But Meng Jiu had a wry smile on his face at this time. He had never seen such a comforting smile. This person named Du was probably born with a dark mind. Meng Jiu couldn't help but swallow.
He was frothing, and he didn't know whether it was due to the light or his emotions, but he actually felt that Song Xiao's slightly trembling back was a bit pretty. This thought shocked him, and he quickly looked away, what was wrong with him? But he happened to see Du Yiyu.
Having already reached the door, he suddenly opened the wooden door that had not been repaired for many years. With a creaking sound, a figure almost fell in.
Du Yiyu waited for the somewhat embarrassed man to stand up, then smiled and said, "Did you hear what I just said? In fact, I want to tell you that since we are here, we treat Song Xiao as a friend. Of course, we have to take care of friends' affairs.
So please don’t try to dissuade us on the grounds that you don’t want to cause trouble.”
Song Xiao turned around, and before he had time to understand the meaning of Du Yiyu's words, he saw the man and shouted in surprise: "Village Chief?!"
The village chief coughed awkwardly and then said to Song Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, why are you back so suddenly?"
"I'll come back to visit my home and visit my parents' graves."
The village chief nodded slightly to Meng Jiu and Du Yiyu, then pulled Song Xiao a step outside the door, sighed and whispered: "Xiao Xiao, don't blame uncle for not listening to what he said. Ever since something happened to your family,
The village has begun to become chaotic. It’s not like you don’t know what everyone thinks about you. No one can do anything about it? Just leave and don’t come back in the next few years, especially if you bring others with you. Now the young people in the village are always thinking
I want to go out for a walk. What will happen to the funeral in my hometown in the future? Your family was the first to break the customs, so it became like this. If all the young people go out from now on, our village will still remain a ghost village? Moreover,
, the village has finally settled down, what do you want to do? If something happens, do you want everyone to bury you with you? Xiao Xiao, don’t make the village restless, okay?”
Song Xiao's expression changed from shame to injustice, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Du Yiyu in his heart. He never thought that the village chief didn't want people to clean up the evil spirits in the back mountain. Before he could say anything, Meng Jiu suddenly jumped out of the house.
He came out, held the village chief's hand and said: "Village chief, right? Hello, hello. My name is Meng Jiu, Song Xiao's friend and boss, and this Du Yiyu is my assistant. Come, come, come,
Don't stand here, please sit down. Song Xiao, go and open the good tea in the bag and let the village chief taste it." He babbled a lot, as if he was the master here, which made the village chief
I felt dumbfounded, but I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I had to sit down and chat with Meng Jiu about his parents while waiting for the tea.
"You and Xiao Xiao come back..." The village chief took a sip of tea and was about to redirect the topic to his own direction. Meng Jiu rolled his eyes and interrupted the village chief in a mysterious tone and whispered:
"Village Chief, it's fate. If Song Xiao can invite me, your village will be saved." After saying that, the village chief handed over a business card with a surprised expression. The business card was newly printed, and Du Yiyu caught a glimpse of the words "Heaven-given Corpse Painter" on it.
I almost got kicked out by these few words - Is it fun to be a corpse painter given by heaven?...

After finishing the painting, the village chief looked at Meng Jiu with a confused look on his face, frowned and said: "This?..."
"Has the village chief ever heard of corpse painters?" Seeing the village chief shaking his head with a sarcastic smile, Meng Jiu coughed and said: "The soul of corpse painters is deeply rooted in their bones. This is a formula passed down from generation to generation by corpse painters. We paint
Corpses put makeup on the dead, not only to comfort the living, but also to soothe the souls of the dead..." He recited the content he was most familiar with again, but this time it was much more detailed than what he told Du Yiyu last time.
. He even added several examples and boasted about himself brazenly. It took almost an hour to talk to the village chief, who was confused, but he couldn't help but yearn for it.
"Master Meng," the village chief immediately changed his title, but still hesitated before saying: "However, regarding the issue in the back mountain, I still think it's better not to provoke those things. Anyway, everyone is in peace now."
Meng Jiu clicked his tongue: "You think it's a good thing to be neighbors with ghosts, don't you? During the Qingming Festival, aren't you afraid that the ghosts of your family will come to attack you for being unfilial? The fields on the mountains are deserted, so you aren't afraid of running out of things.
eat?"
The village chief shook his head and said: "There is no other way, it is better than an accident. Human lives are at stake, and I cannot bear the responsibility."
Meng Jiu frowned. He always disliked this kind of prudent and self-protective style, so he couldn't help but come up with a crooked idea: "Village Chief, are you so sure that the things in the back mountain will have no impact on the village?"
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then after thinking for a moment he shook his head and said, "No. Those talismans by Master Hu are very effective."
Meng Jiu shook his head and said solemnly: "Then why did I see the evil spirits in the village soaring along the way?"
"Ah?" The village chief was stunned. Song Xiao also looked at Meng Jiu nervously. Only Du Yiyu looked like he was watching a good show.
Meng Jiu pinched his fingers and said calmly: "The barrier set up by Director Hu is not always effective. It rains, the wind blows, and the talisman is not made of iron, so problems can easily occur. So, later,
If the mountain is not cured, it will cause serious trouble! Now there are ghosts and monsters that have broken in and are dormant in the village."
The village chief took a breath, and seemed to be persuaded by Meng Jiu. Meng Jiu coughed and said, "Well, are there any people who are unwell in the village? You bring them here, and I will know after I test the method."
The village chief had already been stunned by Meng Jiu's remarks, but he actually nodded. After the village chief left, Song Xiao couldn't help but whether Meng Jiu really had evil spirits, but Meng Jiu rolled his eyes: "You are like me
"How come you still don't understand what bluffing is?"
