"...Old Cheng, are you back? You picked so many vegetables."

"...The vegetables in the field are almost grown, so I went to pick some...I thought about sending some of these radishes over."

Behind the fence made of willow branches, there was an old man standing by the side of the road. The old man also held a willow branch in his hand. greet you.

The villagers who went into the village walked up to the fence, stretched out their hands to open the movable wicker fence, and after walking in, they closed the movable fence again with their backhands.

The people who entered the village in the back repeatedly opened the fence gate, and then closed the gate again after entering. They had a lot of things in their hands and needed to put the things in their hands. After opening the gate, Pick things up again.

The old man standing behind the fence with willow branches just looked back and forth, but didn't reach out to help any villager pull over the fence.

"...Old Yang, are you okay today?"

After passing the fence, the old man called Lao Cheng was holding a handful of vegetables and a dustpan in his hand, then stood aside and asked the old man with willow branches,

"I haven't seen anything, I'm here to watch."

The old man holding the willow branch held the willow branch, gently dropped it on the old man named Lao Cheng, and then replied,

"Old Cheng, you should go back quickly, finish your meal early, there is still something to do."

"Okay, let's go back first, later, I'll fold these radishes, and I'll come over to help you keep watch."

"...I'll do it here, and the second child of the Xu family will come over later."

The old man standing behind the fence took a willow branch and dropped it on a person entering the village, and then turned around to answer.

The old man named Lao Cheng nodded and didn't respond any more. He carried a dustpan and a handful of vegetables, and walked into the village.

The old man holding the willow branch turned his head again, turned his eyes back and forth, looked at the villages coming back from outside the village, and lowered his head again, looking back and forth at the ground under the fence from time to time.

Glancing at the old man holding willow branches, Lian Ge glanced at the ground where the old man was looking at from time to time,

On the ground of the village road, under the fence of the willow branches, some orange powder was sprinkled, and the powder was piled up. On that road, a line was drawn in the yard of the people beside the road, which was also on the only road entering the village. .

On the yellow powder piled up in lines, there was a somewhat pungent smell, permeating the air.

It is realgar powder.

"...Wait, don't go in yet!"

At this moment, another middle-aged woman opened the fence door and was about to walk behind the fence.

A villager behind him suddenly became anxious and shouted.

The middle-aged woman froze all of a sudden, and her hand hadn't let go from the gate.

"...on the back, there is a bug on the back!"

The villagers behind the middle-aged woman were a little more anxious, and hurriedly shouted,

The middle-aged woman turned pale and froze in place.

Behind the middle-aged woman, on her back, a small black beetle was crawling along her clothes and onto her shoulders.

"……Go! Go! Go!"

The expression of the old man standing behind the fence changed immediately, he was in a hurry,

He took the willow branch and hit the middle-aged woman in the back, but the middle-aged woman didn't dodge it, she just stood there frozen.

"Go, go...you are not welcome in our village..."

The little black beetle was knocked off the woman's shoulder and landed outside the line drawn by the realgar powder,

The old man stared again and beat his feet nervously with a willow branch. He was relieved when he saw the little black beetle crawling towards the outside of the village.

"...Why are you so careless? What if..."

A little scared, the old man turned his head and couldn't help saying something to the woman,

"I, I didn't do it on purpose... I read it when I came back, I read it several times, I don't know where the bug came from..."

The woman also turned around and looked at the little black beetle crawling away from the ground. Her face became paler and her eyes were a little red.

"...I just thought, I just wanted to pull some radishes back...how could this kind of thing fall on me..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.

"...Come in, be careful next time."

Looking at the woman's appearance, the old man sighed, and carefully touched the middle-aged woman with a willow branch several times before he said again,

"...I won't go out, I won't go out of the village recently."

Carrying a dustpan with muddy radishes on it, the woman walked into the village,

Looking again at the radish in the dustpan, with red eyes, he shook his head,

"...if this thing follows me in..."

The woman was talking, her face was still a little pale, her eyes were still red, and there was some self-blame in her eyes.

Turning her head again, repeatedly pulling her clothes to look around, the woman carried a handful of radishes in a dustpan and continued walking into the village.

The old man shook his head, didn't speak any more, and turned his head again, more times than before, staring at the ground repeatedly, looking back and forth at some villagers who entered the village.

Outside the village, a few villagers who hadn't entered the village also pulled their clothes back and forth, watching.

"...Sister Qiu, help me see if there are any bugs on my back..."

"...No, you can help me to see if there is..."

They looked at each other again, looked back and forth several times, and then another villager pushed open the fence gate made of willow branches, walked into the fence, and let the old man's willow branches fall on him.

"...Young man, there have been some incidents in our village recently, and it may be a little troublesome to enter the village."

The middle-aged man who led the way looked towards the fence, turned his head, pulled his clothes, looked at himself,

Then he looked back and forth at Lian Ge, and said something to Lian Ge out loud.

Glancing at the willow fence around the entrance of the village, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the middle-aged man,

Nodding his head, he didn't say much.

Lian Ge turned his gaze again,

Look to the side, outside the fence, on the side of the road.

On the side of the road, stood a figure in a black formal suit,

A ghost.

"... I have seen the celestial master in my humble position. The celestial master came, but I never greeted him from afar, and I hope that the celestial master will forgive me."

Seeing Lian Ge turn his gaze,

The ghost messenger bowed to Lian Ge again, and said respectfully.

Looking at the ghost, Lian Ge nodded.

Chapter 929

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Turning his gaze back again, Lian Ge looked at the front side, the fence woven with willow branches across the road, and the people who were a little careful and gently pushed the movable fence to walk into the village, holding willow branches , guarding the fence and staring back and forth at the people entering the village and the old man drawing the realgar line on the ground,

Lian Ge spoke again, speaking in a calm tone.

The middle-aged man standing next to Lian Ge didn't seem to notice it, and some villagers walking towards the village didn't seem to hear Lian Ge's words.

"...Two days ago, a person with great Yin virtue in this village passed away, and I was ordered to come here to bring the soul of the dead back to the underworld."

Next to him, the ghost messenger bowed to Lian Ge with even more respect, and answered again with a loud voice,

"The people in this village have what the hearts of the people want. In addition, the souls of the dead had merits and virtues during their lifetime, and they can leave if they don't want to. Therefore, the humble staff did not force the souls away. After reporting, the Supreme Court ordered a two-day grace period for the souls of the dead. "

Responding, the ghost messenger turned back, looked into the village, then bowed and continued,

"The two-day deadline expires at [-]:[-] o'clock today, so I am here to wait for you. Take the souls of the dead back to the underworld."

Bowing towards Lian Ge, the ghost messenger responded respectfully.

Listening to the ghost messenger's words, Lian Ge looked at the fence woven with willow branches. Behind the fence, the old man holding willow branches nodded.

Didn't say much.

These things at the entrance of this village have no effect on ghost messengers.

Turning his gaze again, Lian Ge glanced at the ghost next to him again,

"The Celestial Master is here, do you dare to ask if the Celestial Master has any orders?"

Seeing Lian Ge, the ghost messenger turned his gaze away again, bowed down and asked respectfully.

"Just passing by. Go about your business."

Lian Ge shook his head, then turned his gaze away.

"Honestly obey orders."

Responding respectfully again, the ghost messenger took a few steps back and stood back on the side of the road before, just waiting quietly.

In front, several villagers by the wicker fence entered the village one after another.

The middle-aged man led the way, and Lian Ge gradually approached our fence.

Behind the fence, the old man who took a willow branch and dropped it on a villager who entered the village, also turned his eyes again, and looked at Lian Ge and the middle-aged man.

……

"Uncle Yang."

"Hey, I'm back."

Leading the way, he walked to the wicker fence, the middle-aged man stopped in front of the fence, did not push the fence door, and called the old man behind the fence, holding the willow branch,

The old man nodded, answered, then turned his gaze to Lian Ge, turned his somewhat muddy eyes, looked back and forth,

"Who is this?"

Looking at Lian Ge, and then looking back at the middle-aged man, the old man asked aloud.

"It's a passing tourist. He followed the road and came to us. He wanted to spend the night in the village."

The middle-aged man put down the hoe he was carrying on his shoulders, and said to the old man aloud,

"Uncle Yang, you also know that our village is remote, and there are no other inhabited places nearby. It's getting late now, and the mountain road is not easy to walk."

The middle-aged man spoke aloud, raised his head and looked at the sky above him,

The old man also raised his head and looked towards the sky,

The setting sun in the west has completely sunk into the horizon, and the last sunset glow reflected is gradually being submerged by the dark sky,

In the sky above, it has been replaced by night, and the distance is already filled with night,

Only the moon hanging obliquely in the night is left, and it looks brighter and brighter, swaying some cool moonlight under the night,

Turning back again, looked at Lian Ge, the old man turned around again, looked somewhere in the village,

Turned around, silent for a while,

Then he turned his somewhat muddy gaze, looked back and forth at Lian Ge, and paused for a while on the little white mouse squatting on Lian Ge's shoulder.

"come in."

After a pause, the old man turned around and nodded to the middle-aged man.

Turning his head again, he looked at Lian Ge,

"Thank you, old man."

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge thanked him.

"...If you need help, the villagers will help you. Those who are away from home..."

The old man shook his head, seemed to be in a daze, and responded aloud,

Turning his head again, he looked at Lian Ge,

"Young man, the situation in our village is a bit special recently. I'm really sorry for the lack of hospitality."

"... It's a bit troublesome to enter the village right now. Wait for Fan Chengye to open the fence and come in first. Boy, pull the fence and come in."
