In the early morning of the next day, the neighbors all ran to the old man's house with rice bowls, the general purpose was to hear that the Wang family was going to the foot of Beishan Mountain last night to worship the ghosts, and this morning they came to ask for a freshness. But last night's worship of the ghost was true, but there was an accident halfway, the old man Wang told the neighbors about the matter, all the villagers were stunned, and the neighbor Li Old Man couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "How could Widow Liu's dog suddenly run to the back mountain to make trouble?" And I almost bit someone, Brother Wang, why don't I talk to everyone after dinner later, and then let the village party secretary come forward to find Widow Liu and ask her to keep her dog on a leash? ”

Listening to Old Man Li's words, it seemed that he had also encountered Widow Liu's affairs and did not dare to get involved, so he could only find other ways to help the Wang family solve this big problem. It was Old Man Li's wife, who said casually: "It seems that I haven't seen Widow Liu go out during this time, and she has been locked in the house all the time, and the people in the village don't seem to be walking around with her, and I don't know what she's been busy with recently." ”

As he was talking, he saw another young man walking around with a rice bowl outside, staggering over, and seemed to have heard the topic of Widow Liu outside, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't know, I also heard that Widow Liu is pregnant!" ”

"Huh?" Shocked by this young man's words, everyone shouted in surprise, and the old man Wang hurriedly said: "Greenhouse, you can't talk nonsense!" Widow Liu has been widowed for several years, and when her man died, you kid was still wearing open crotch pants, have you forgotten? There has been no man for so many years, how can she be pregnant? Tell me, you can't go out and talk nonsense! ”

The young man named Greenhouse smiled and took a nest from Old Man Wang's hand, took a bite, and laughed in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, you don't know, it doesn't mean that everyone in the village doesn't know, in fact, this matter has long been hidden, but you didn't inquire." Widow Liu hasn't been out of the yard for a few months, in fact, it's not that she hasn't been out, she goes out to the vegetable garden at night to collect vegetables, someone saw it, she was nauseous and vomiting, don't those old ladies see it at a glance? Who can a woman hide from her pregnancy! ”

"But......" The old man of the Li family was also stunned, and said with a bitter face: "But she is a widow, how can she be pregnant?" Could it be ...... with who in our village?"

Before the old man of the Li family could say anything, the old wife beside him suddenly poked him with her elbow and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

Originally, I wanted to go to Widow Liu's house today to find out about the vicious dog, but when I heard the words of this young man called the greenhouse, Master and I also looked at each other, and we also had a hard time for a while. But if it's a big deal, I don't think the dog is extraordinary, and it can't be enough to run to the place where we worship and stir things up for no reason. I remember that the foot of the mountain was full of sacrifices, and if that vicious dog was really hungry, why did it just go at me and Ermao? Instead of eating other sacrifices?

It's not that I haven't seen strange things on the Yin and Yang Dao, but the blood-red eyes of that vicious dog, I know that there is a famous hall in it at a glance. However, the master did not speak, and he did not know what the master wanted to do. The vicious dog pounced on the food, disrupted the worship ceremony, and the ghosts could not be attracted, and the affairs of Niuwa Village could not be done, and the connection of the branches and ends of it was almost something that had to be figured out.

When the neighbors returned home after eating, the old man Wang asked the master in a difficult way, "Mr. Yang, what do you think should be done now?" ”

The master sighed lightly, but said seriously: "Later, you can invite the village party secretary!" ”

Hearing Master's words, Old Man Wang also understood, this matter is not negotiable, and the vicious dog of Widow Liu's family must be clarified, and who to find to ask Widow Liu clearly, this question is also very crucial. The only thing that can be thought of at the moment is the village party secretary, the village party secretary represents a village, and it is better for the village party secretary to come forward. In this way, a lot of gossip can be avoided, and Widow Liu's side has nothing to say, at least.

Old man Wang hesitated for a long time, but nodded heavily: "That's okay, I'll go to Zhang Zhishu now, it seems that he is the only one who comes forward." ”

After a cup of tea, Zhang Zhishu and Old Man Wang, who were in their fifties, walked back, first got to know the master, and then looked at Zhang Zhishu's embarrassed expression, as if they had heard that Widow Liu was inexplicably pregnant. Immediately said with a bitter face: "A widow can get pregnant, this is really unruly, if she still wants to remarry, just make it clear to the village committee, and no one will stop her, but she has made it clear when her man dies that she is willing to be widowed for the rest of her life, now?" Now that she's pregnant, it's just too nonsense, alas, I don't know which bastard in the village has harmed people, and when I find that person, I will definitely have a meeting to criticize him! ”

Master then said: "Zhang Zhishu, this is not to study the pregnancy of Widow Liu, as for the recent problem of dead babies in your Niuwa Village, it is already imminent, if you want to solve the current matter, you must also find out some other reasons. ”

When Zhang Zhishu heard this, he nodded again and again: "Mr. Yang's words are reasonable, now we people in Niuwa Village don't dare to have children, alas, one is born and one dies, and some have abortions before they are born, so that the whole village cannot live in peace, and I, the branch secretary, are already anxious." Since Mr. Yang can help our village solve this big problem, then I will take you to Widow Liu's house later, and I will help you figure out any problems you want to figure out! ”

Perhaps because of Widow Liu's pregnancy, Zhang Zhishu hesitated again and again, in addition to me and Master, there was also Old Man Wang, that is, four people went to Widow Liu's house.

Although there were some people along the way in the village, those villagers did not follow us, until we came to the gate of Widow Liu's courtyard, and the gate of this courtyard was indeed latched from the inside, just as the young man called the greenhouse said, Widow Liu did not go out during the day. I slowly came to the outside of the courtyard wall, glanced at it inexplicably, and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that the big yellow dog was still lying on the trunk of the old willow tree in the yard of Widow Liu, but this time, the big yellow dog saw us outsiders walking outside the door, and immediately ran down and ran to the door to scream at us frantically!

Master turned his head to look at me and asked, "Is this the vicious dog you are talking about?" ”

I nodded in astonishment: "Well, but when we came with us last night, this vicious dog didn't bark at all, why is it so happy now?" "When I said this, I also whispered it, but after listening to my words, the master frowned and did not continue my words.

Zhang Zhishu patted the door at this moment, and shouted inside: "Liu Zhong's family, open the door quickly, I am Zhang Zhishu, I have something to talk about at your house." "Rural people call married women, rarely call them by their names, they all follow the names of the men of their in-laws' family, who they call who's family, Liu Zhong's family, which means Liu Zhong's wife, that is, Liu Widow. Of course, Zhang Zhishu didn't directly call people widows, which was really not good, just in private among the villagers.

After a while, I only heard a woman's voice coming from the house inside: "Zhang Zhishu, there is no man in our family, you can just say anything outside, you haven't worked in the fields during this time, you don't give work points, it's a big deal to get a little less food for the New Year." I'm a woman's family, and I can't starve to death if I eat a little bit! ”

I didn't expect Widow Liu's words to be so sharp, and she directly choked Zhang Zhishu's eyes, Zhang Zhishu turned his head helplessly, and said to us: "Mr. Yang, look at this?" If she refuses to open the door, we won't be able to enter, and we can't do anything to a widow in a big village......"

Hearing this, the master nodded slightly, turned to the courtyard wall, glanced into the courtyard, glanced at the courtyard, and finally stared at the old willow tree with a crooked neck, and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing wrong with this big yellow dog, it is just an ordinary dog, but the old willow tree is a little unusual!" ”

"Old Willow?" I looked at the old willow tree in surprise, and then at the big yellow dog in the yard, and couldn't help asking, "Master, but it was this big yellow dog that caused us trouble last night, obviously this dog has a problem, how can you say that the dog is fine, but the tree is in trouble?" ”

The master ignored my question, but said solemnly to Zhang Zhishu: "Zhang Zhishu, no matter what, you must communicate with this woman and let someone cut down the willow tree in her yard, otherwise, there will be a disaster!" ”

"Huh? Cutting down trees?! ”

Zhang Zhishu opened his mouth, and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Yang, you also saw it, this person didn't even open the door, we couldn't get in at all, let alone communicate, we couldn't speak." Alas, why don't we go back and discuss it later, and we have to think of a way to do it! Saying that, Zhang Zhishu walked back with his hands behind his back and a helpless face.

But the master, still staring at the old willow tree in the yard without blinking, I was just about to speak, but the master suddenly took the first step to speak: "Let's go back, there are already some eyebrows in the heart of the master." We'll talk about it in the evening! I watched in a daze as Master turned to leave, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Master's gourd, so I hurriedly caught up with Master.

When I was about to return to Wang's house, I couldn't help myself and whispered to Master, "Master, what should we do now?" ”

The master said casually: "Naturally, you will continue to deal with that ghost elf, and you will have to go to the back mountain with Er Mao tonight, so be sure to lure that ghost out of the elf!" At present, all the cruxes of Niuwa Village must be solved by finding that ghost spirit, otherwise it will ...... If the crux of the problem is not resolved, I am afraid that Niuwa Village will be in trouble! "Hearing Master's words, I trembled, no, isn't it just a ghost who is making trouble? How could it be so serious as Master said?!
