I followed foster-grandpa to a corner and whispered, "There's only the four of us here, why do we have to carry him?"

The foster-grandpa said, "Because the two of them are unreliable."

Startled, I hurriedly asked, "Who was it that was unreliable?"

Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin have indeed helped me a lot, and I have treated them as my friends. But there were so many secrets in them that I always felt I was separated from them.

But my foster-grandpa is different. He raised me up and I have unlimited trust in him.

foster-grandpa looked at Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin. They were bickering again, no one knew what they were talking about. foster-grandpa said in a low voice: "The two of them are not reliable."

I panicked a little and asked the foster-grandpa, "How did you know?"

foster-grandpa said, "That day, when I picked you up, Xia Xin was there. I have always suspected that your coming to Hu Village had a lot to do with her. "

I looked at foster-grandpa in shock, "She was there at that time? How old is she? "

foster-grandpa said, "She is a living corpse, not a living person. Her appearance will not change. Maybe she is even older than me. "

I looked at Xia Xin, who was not far away, and thought to myself, "This really is a monster."

The foster-grandpa continued, "When I brought you back that day, Xia Xin knocked on the door not even an hour later. He said that he was going to his relatives' house to play and had taken the wrong path.

"What she said at that time was very true. What was the surname of the relative, what was his name? What village did he live in? They all have their own eyes and nose. I almost believed it." But I saw her when I picked you up, so there's always a trace of doubt in my heart. "

"In the middle of the night, I saw Xia Xin get up several times and sit next to you while whispering something in a low voice. I didn't sleep all night, fearing she might be up to something, but she left the next day, and nothing happened. "

"After that, a few days later, I went to the village she mentioned and asked around. I found that there was indeed such a family and that there was indeed a relative in the city. However, that relative and Xia Xin don't match at all. "

I replied, "It seems that Xia Xin is really after me."

foster-grandpa continued, "As for that Zhao fellow. I don't know what his problem is. However, I have lived for so many years, so I have a good sense of how others see things. I feel that he has a secret on him, that he is hiding something from you, and that this must have something to do with you. "

I nodded and said to foster-grandpa, "I will remember this. I will be careful."

foster-grandpa patted my shoulder and laughed: "As for that Er Hu, you don't have to worry. He still has a night of lifespan, and after tonight, he will have to return his body to you. "

I looked at foster-grandpa with extreme shock. "He only has one night of lifespan left?"

foster-grandpa replied: "If I'm not wrong, his parents aren't that old, right?"

I said, "You really are a god. How did you know?"

foster-grandpa said, "I saw it from his soul. Even though he was extremely resentful, his soul was actually lacking something. Because his parents were still young when they gave birth to him, and they didn't have enough Qi and blood, this child wouldn't be able to live for long. I saw that he was determined to get your body, so I discussed it with Mr. Zhao to satisfy his wish. "

"After tonight, he will have to be reborn. If this wish of his was brought to the next life, then his next life would be a bit more difficult. "Helping him out can be considered helping us out."

I nodded vigorously.

The foster-grandpa said, "Alright, that's all. foster-grandpa is old, there is only so much that he can help you with. The rest of the road, will depend on you. "

The more I heard, the more I felt that something was amiss. I anxiously asked the foster-grandpa, "What does that mean? Where are you going? "

foster-grandpa laughed bitterly, "When I died, I was not young anymore. My lifespan was already almost used up, and after being tormented by the Ghastly Prisoner, I really couldn't take it anymore. I had to reincarnate later on, otherwise, my soul would have been damaged. That way, even in the next life, you might still be physically weak. "

To be honest, I really can't bear to part with foster-grandpa, but I know that I can't let him go at this time, or else it would harm his next life.

I gritted my teeth and said to foster-grandpa: "Alright, I'll send you off." After saying this, I felt a little sad again. "I didn't expect that I would be able to save you just now. We won't be able to meet again."

foster-grandpa laughed: "We are lucky. If it were anyone else, they would have been dead, but Yin and Yang are separated. How can they be like us? You're already dead, and yet you're still sitting and talking? "

I didn't think that foster-grandpa would have to be lenient towards me before he left. I sighed and said to foster-grandpa: "Which family are you going to be reincarnated to? Can you tell me? "

foster-grandpa said, "I still don't know. This depends on the will of heaven. However, when the baby first came into the world, his soul was still weak for five days. In these five days, you have to be more careful. I will help you dream. When the time comes, you will know who I am staying at. "

I nodded vigorously.

foster-grandpa scratched my head, "Life and death are intertwined with life and death. Do what you must, and don't be afraid, and don't regret it. "

Soon after, a gust of mountain wind blew by, causing the foster-grandpa's soul to drift further and further away, and quickly disappeared into the night.

"foster-grandpa." I called out, my voice drifting back and forth in the valley, but I didn't get a response from the foster-grandpa.

I dropped to my knees and cried.

I don't know how long I cried before Mr. Zhao walked over, patted my shoulder, and handed me a stack of papers. "Burn it.

The money that he handed over was paper money, I shook my head, "Forget it, my foster-grandpa is going to be reincarnated, there's no need for this money."

Mr. Zhao laughed: "You don't understand. Have you ever heard of fortune? Some people make money easily and have a good time. Some people make money more difficult, business always lose money. The main reason for this is because of the lack of wealth. "

"After a person dies, his family will burn paper for a memorial service. Before he was born, the paper money was for his expenses. After he was reborn, paper money became fortune. for him to make money in the afterlife. "

I took the paper money and burned it.

Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "Do you want me to help you investigate your past life? Let your filial children and grandchildren burn a few more pieces of paper for you. "

Puzzled, I asked him, "You can do it?"

Mr. Zhao said, "It's actually very simple."

He looked around and said, "Look at this graveyard, the yin energy is very dense. It's the most suitable place to look at my previous life. "

He found a place where he could see the moonlight and took out a mirror. He placed it in front of me and said, "Look inside and concentrate. Then, you will be able to see the place where you lived in your previous life."

I narrowed my eyes and looked over with rapt attention. But after looking for a long time, there was no change in the mirror. I could only see the Golden Toad Temple behind me.

I said to the Mr. Zhao, "That's not right, there's only the Golden Toad Temple inside."

Mr. Zhao said, "Maybe you were inside Golden Toad Temple in your previous life."

I said, "Don't tease me, can the Golden Toad Temple hold living people?"

Mr. Zhao said, "Why don't you have a previous life? This is your first life."

I helplessly said, "Just admit that your skills are lacking and that you have no way to check out your previous life. Is that really that difficult?"

Mr. Zhao said, "There is definitely no problem with my abilities. Come, come, let me look at my previous life."

He placed the mirror in front of him, squinted at it for a long time, then muttered, "Is the mirror broken?"

Xia Xin, who was at the side, couldn't help but say, "You two stop playing. Let's hurry up and go back."

The mountain was shrouded in a ghastly aura. Even if I wasn't afraid of being entangled by ghosts, I didn't want to stay here any longer. Thus, I hastily went down the mountain.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, I saw my uncle sitting there, an oil lamp burning beside him.

I called out, "Clan Uncle."

The clan uncle ignored me. He was leaning against a tree, as if he was asleep.

I nudged him, and he lurched and fell to the ground. The clan uncle was already dead.

I looked at his body, a little sad. My feelings for my uncle are a little complicated. I don't know if I should call him a relative or an enemy.

In the last few months, he did want to hurt me. But he's been with me for decades, after all.

Mr. Zhao patted my shoulder, "Alright, bring the corpse back. The matter here is over, let him rest in peace."

I carried my uncle on my back and walked home step by step.

When I reached the entrance of the house, I was stunned. I saw two red lanterns hanging at the entrance, with the word "Happy" written on them.

I panicked a little and said to the Mr. Zhao: "What's going on?"

Mr. Zhao looked inside and said: "It's alright, it's Erhu who's giving himself a happy occasion."

I felt a little queasy. "What's he doing?"

Mr. Zhao took out a piece of paper and handed it to me. "Have you forgotten? He had many wishes. Perhaps he didn't know that he only had one more day of life left, but he was still a soul after all, so he had a sense of urgency. and you can't wait to make it happen. "

"Alright, today is the wedding day for Erhu, let's not carry a corpse and disturb him. Let's find another place. I heard that your village committee is quite luxurious, let's go there for the night. "

I turned my head and followed Mr. Zhao. "A wedding? Who was he going to marry? He's using my body now, so he can't be muddleheaded, right? "

Xia Xin smiled and said to me, "Don't worry. In the entire Hu Village, can we still find women? The one who married him was just a paper man. "

Even so, I thought, it was scary.

When we arrived at the village committee, we placed the corpse of our uncle in the meeting room. As for the three of us, we lay down on the bed in the lounge.

It had to be said that Mr. Zhao's suggestion was correct. The village council bed was soft, more advanced than my own.

Not long after I lay down, I heard a loud crash and jumped out of bed.

I saw that the glass window was shaking violently, and a piece of it shattered with a crack.

I shouted in fear, "What's wrong?"

Mr. Zhao jumped to the window and looked out, then said in a low voice, "Something's happened. The grave's collapsed."
