Chapter 169 The Young Master's Last Wish 10 (End)
Gao San and Chang An, who Zhou Zhou was thinking about, were shaking their feet in the space. The rain would last for four days, and they would go out only after it stopped.
The villagers spent four very difficult days in the mountains. After the rain stopped on the fifth day, they couldn't wait to go down the mountain.
The flood in the village has not receded yet. The turbid water makes it impossible to see the road clearly. You need to be careful when wading through the water, otherwise you might miss a step and fall into the creek.
The villagers whose houses are located in lower places are unable to return home yet. They can only negotiate with the families they get along with better and stay in someone else’s home for two days.
"Plop, plop", like dumplings being dropped into the water, several villagers missed their step and fell into the creek and were washed away by the water.
"Ah! Help!"
Cries for help were heard one after another, but no one came forward. Everyone was still frightened and went back up the mountain.
They are unwilling to take risks to save others when they cannot guarantee their own personal safety.
Those who were in a hurry to go down the mountain were ungrateful people, while the other group was persuaded by Fang Bo and are still staying on the mountain.
So, it is difficult to persuade the damned ghosts with kind words. Fang Bo and Bai Qiu both told them that now is not the best time to go down the mountain and they have to wait until the flood recedes.
But those ungrateful and treacherous people wouldn't listen and were all in a hurry to get down the mountain.
See, lesson learned.
The flood in the village receded only in the evening, but only the village paths were exposed; the low-lying houses were still submerged in water.
The courtyard of the senior high school is located on a higher place, so the flood only entered the courtyard. However, the roof was gone and there was water accumulation in the house. These were easy to deal with. Just a cleaning talisman was needed.
The roof is a bit difficult to deal with. I don’t know where those pieces of grass have been blown away.
There are tiles in their space, but they don't want to use them. They are too lazy to use them, so they might as well go and get the straw shed back.
Chang'an and Gao San searched the village for a while and picked up four relatively good straw sheds.
It was extremely dirty, so Changan threw a cleaning talisman out and it became clean. Senior High School dragged a straw mat to build the roof. It didn't matter whether it was useful or not, as long as there was a roof, they could worry about it later if it was useless.
Chang'an threw out two more cleaning talismans, and the yard and the house became clean and tidy in an instant.
The village, which had just experienced a heavy rain, was a good place to do some activities at night. Chang'an got excited and sat on the roof of the Gu family's house with her sixth father late at night, singing nursery rhymes.
The ethereal and distant sound came near and far away. Everyone in the village heard it and was so scared that they got goose bumps.
Some of the older generation were braver. They carried oil lamps and went out of the house. Under the hazy moonlight, a young man and a little girl were sitting on the roof of the Gu family's old house. Both of them were wearing red clothes.
The elusive figure frightened them so much that they trembled and almost dropped the oil lamps in their hands.
Chang'an was creating a legend for Xinghua Village so that the villagers would have material to tell bedtime stories to their grandchildren.
After singing the nursery rhyme, Gu Laoliu burst into strange laughter, and the father and daughter disappeared on the roof along with the laughter.
They were able to remain calm when they heard the nursery rhymes just now, but now the laughter almost drove them away, and some of them fainted from fright.
But there were two people who were not afraid. They walked towards Gu's house quietly, holding offerings in their hands.
The villagers thought that the ghosts of the Gu family had left, but they didn't expect that they were still there after three years. No wonder there were always accidents in the village and the unlucky people were not getting better.
After being frightened by Chang'an and Gu Laoliu, the village was unusually quiet the next day. No one dared to speak, and they just mechanically did their work.
Everyone looked worried, and the educated youth had never seen such a scene before. They were atheists and believed in science, but last night's experience had overturned their understanding.
So there really are ghosts and gods in the world? They didn't see gods, but they saw ghosts first. Thinking of what they saw last night, they couldn't help but shiver with fear.
Everyone shed tears in their hearts, "What a miserable fate! They are just going to the countryside, there is really no need to let them see such an exciting scene."
Do they think that's the end?
No, every now and then Chang'an and Gu Laoliu would come out at night and sing a nursery rhyme for the villagers. Many villagers' hair stood up, wondering if it was because they didn't sleep well or were scared?
Sometimes she would visit the homes of those ungrateful people with her sixth father and chat with them. The father and daughter would have a great time, and the ungrateful people would be so scared that they would kneel down and call them ancestors.
The terrified screams at night have become a feature of Xinghua Village. If the villagers haven't heard them for a long time, they would feel a little uncomfortable.
They all wanted to wait until the screaming was over before going to sleep, otherwise they would be woken up again later.
This fright lasted for more than ten years. After 77, the educated youth returned to the city one after another. Gao was the only one who stayed in Xinghua. After he decided to stay, his adoptive mother and sister cut off contact with him.
Xinghua Village has also grown from more than 30 households to more than 10 households now.
They didn't move away, but most of them died due to bad luck over the past decade or so.
The grandchildren of those people are fine and are still alive and well.
"Dad, when will Second Uncle Gu come back? Why don't we go look for him?" Chang'an lazily lay on the couch, playing with his fingers out of boredom.
Gu Laoliu was shaking his legs while reading the newspaper, and said lightly: "He should be back soon. Let's wait for another three months. If he doesn't come back, we will go look for him again."
Now that the land has been distributed to each household, Gao San did not take the land because he was too lazy to farm it.
Chang'an was too bored so she went out for a walk, and then she saw Widow Wang and her three sons leaving the village carrying large and small bags.
"Are they going into the city to look for Fu Gou?"
Just like in his previous life, Fu Gou was admitted to university after the resumption of the college entrance examination and returned to the city. Widow Wang did not make things difficult for him because he had helped her raise the children over the years.
Gao San touched his chin and said, "I think so. They want to go to the city and let Fu Gou arrange a job for them."
"How do they know Fu Gou has this ability?"
"I was fooled by Shen Wei."
How long has it been? Shen Wei is still fooling around? The male protagonist is unlucky.
Since the land was distributed to each household, I have hardly seen anyone slacking off. Everyone is working hard to cultivate their own land.
Second Uncle Gu came back two months later. On the night of their return, Chang'an placed the Gu family's treasures in a side room of the Gu family's old house.
Then he disguised himself as a ghost and told him, "Second Uncle, I have placed the remaining treasures of the Gu family in the side room of the old house."
After saying that, she left with her sixth father. Second Uncle Gu woke up from his sleep and just in time to see two blurry figures disappearing at the door.
He immediately got up and chased after him, but he didn't see anyone until he ran out of the yard. He now lived in the brigade headquarters, and the Gu family's old house had been abandoned and no one could live in it.
Thinking of what he had just heard in his dream, he went back to his room, got a flashlight and went to the Gu family's old house.
The abandoned house was a bit eerie. He tightened his clothes and took a deep breath before going in. He walked through the overgrown yard and came to the door of the side room.
The door creaked open, letting down a cloud of choking dust. He waved his hand, coughed twice, and walked into the room.
With the help of the flashlight, he saw more than twenty red-painted wooden boxes placed against the wall. He opened them and took a look. They were gold bars, silver ingots, and antique jade.
All these things prove that the back figure he just saw was real. Who was the person talking to him in the dream?
If he is called second uncle, then the child should be his eldest brother's child.
Uncle Gu squatted on the ground and cried bitterly when he thought of his family’s tragic death.
That night, the villagers, who had not been frightened for a long time, felt their scalps tingling again when they heard the crying.
This crying sound is more frightening than the singing. It's looming and even more terrifying, right?
The villagers didn't know it was Uncle Gu, and they all begged for mercy.
The ghost stories of Xinghua Village are well-known far and wide and always scare some children to tears.
