crossing yin and yang

Chapter 73

The meal was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. Of course, the uncle still had concerns in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. However, the offensive would definitely not come here. When Wei Yang helped clean up the dishes after the meal, the uncle joined the battle again.

"Xiaoyang, how did you go out to play today? Did you go to the old house?" Her tone was much more natural than her husband's. Although she knew she was using a cliché, it was not so annoying.

Wei Yang smiled: "Going, after all, I brought my friends to play, I always want to let him see the old house. But why did the things over there be emptied? Have you sold it? I lived with my grandfather back then. Sometimes, many people who like antiques come to ask the price, and grandpa is not willing to sell it."

The topic changed suddenly, and the aunt immediately forgot what she wanted to say, and quickly explained: "Where can I sell them? They are all family heirlooms. Big things like big beds, wardrobes, and cages are all locked there. It’s in the side warehouse, and it’s all covered with cloth, so it’s well protected. Those precious gestures and small things have been taken home. After all, no one lives there, and it’s not good if a thief breaks into the empty door. Haha... Don't worry, Xiaoyang, these grown-ups know it well."

Wei Yang smiled lightly. It's no wonder that the eldest aunt replied in such a hurry. His family's population is simple. If the family is separated in the future, it is natural that the uncle and he should share the family property equally. When the uncle became independent, he already took I have paid a share of the money, I am the only seedling on the side of the second child, and I grew up with my grandfather since I was a child, if he does not have a share in the old house, or if the things in the old house are sold directly without his asking, it is always wrong to talk about it. Not good.The country is the most particular about family separation, and he is an orphan who was kicked out of the village. If he is detained again when the family is separated, the reputation of the uncle's family will be bad.

Sure enough, those furniture were not sold, Wei Yang waved his hands with a smile: "Where, in fact, I also want to tell my uncle, since no one lives in the old house, some things should be sold as well. Well, if you put it in the warehouse, it’s a waste of things. Those old furniture need to be maintained. They are old and no one uses them. Collectors, wooden furniture can also fetch a good price."

These words were obviously beyond the expectation of the auntie, and she couldn't help showing a little joy on her face. The evil nature of the old house is well known to all the married people from her neighboring village, but she was just worried about her mother-in-law's name as a witch, and she has never dared to do so. After touching the things in the old house, he had no choice but to follow her husband's suggestion and seal up everything that should be sealed up.But these things are to be inherited by the family after all, if you can't live, wouldn't it be more worry-free to sell those extra guys!

But this can't be said on the face of it, her man really doesn't want to sell the ancestral property, for fear of being a prodigal, but if a direct grandson like Wei Yang agrees to sell the furniture, things will be different. This kind of family separation model is still easier to talk to her old-fashioned family. Antiques have been hot in recent years, and it may be a big gain if it is not good.

Thinking of this, the aunt's heart became hot, and she couldn't help but agree: "Yes, I have told your uncle about this several times, but you know who he is, alas, I am so worried What! You have to talk to him later, maybe this thing can be done!"

Wei Yang smiled: "It's definitely possible, but I still need to look at the furniture first, including the ones you took home. If possible, make a catalog, which will be more convenient for future processing."

The eldest aunt hurriedly said: "The booklets are all made! After all, they are things handed down from the ancestors, so how dare you throw them around. If you want to read them, I will show you the account books later. You are also from the Wei family after all. You should have a share of things too."

"I'm sorry, Auntie." Wei Yang smiled, and changed the topic, "By the way, my grandfather should have left a lot of letters and other things back then, right? I really thought about it these two years. I want to take some away when I come back. You know, Auntie, I grew up with my grandfather..."

Of course she knew about this, and she was also very aware of the differences in attitudes of her parents-in-law towards this little grandson, but as a daughter-in-law, she was always not good at making irresponsible remarks, so she didn't dare to care.Now that people are talking about it, she can't refuse it, and after thinking about it, she replied: "Those books are also kept, but no one in our family likes to read them, and they are all placed in the small library of the old house. Packed in two rattan boxes?"

The old house has two storerooms, big and small. This time Wei Yang didn’t check the storeroom when he went back. The keys are all with the uncle, and he couldn’t get in at all. Now with the words of the auntie, it’s much easier to get the key .After getting the result he wanted, Wei Yang responded with a smile, and asked by the way: "By the way, do we use solar energy in our bathroom? Is there enough water for bathing?"

"The weather is not too hot now, so it's enough to be nervous and take a shower. Oh, that's right, you and Xiao Zhang have been running outside for a long time, so hurry up and take a bath, or the water will get cold again later." Auntie Only then did I think of it, and hurriedly ordered.

This arrangement was exactly what he wanted. Wei Yang put down the bowls and chopsticks he was carrying, washed his hands with a smile, and walked out of the kitchen. No matter what the aunt wanted to say to him, he probably forgot all about it. Instead, he got the warehouse key and registration Account book, as long as these two things are in hand, it will be much easier to find old things from that year, and maybe you can find the half of the note.But tomorrow, let’s go to Wang Village first.

In the courtyard, Zhang Xiuqi was standing at the corner of the wall, looking down at something. Wei Yang moved over curiously, and saw Master Turtle crawling slowly around the wall. There were different traces, and he was heading towards the henhouse at this time, and I don't know if it was to avenge the little hen's crushing revenge.

The corner of his mouth twitched, Wei Yang bent down and wanted to stop the vengeful guy, but Zhang Xiuqi stood in front of him and shook his head: "Let it crawl."

Wei Yang couldn't help being taken aback: "It's almost tearing down the chicken coop, so don't worry about it?"

"No." Zhang Xiuqi answered very simply, but he didn't explain anything. Wei Yang really had no choice but to scratch his hair, "Then I'll take a shower first, and brother Qi will come later." Wash it, I guess you have to hurry up, otherwise the water will be cold later."

Zhang Xiuqi nodded, obviously not intending to go upstairs, Wei Yang sighed helplessly, and ran to take a bath by himself.After washing, the two changed shifts, and let the tortoise toss about in the yard for a long time, and finally bit Wei Yang's trouser leg very unclely, and let people carry him upstairs to eat and soak the tortoise's shell.

This day's tossing is exhausting enough, but before going to bed, Wei Yang still felt uneasy in his heart. The dream last night left him with a lot of psychological shadow. If it happened again today, it would be too much tossing, and It was only then that he began to miss that talisman jade that he had never left since he was a child. If the talisman jade was here, there should be no such messy dreams.

Lying beside the little celestial master, Wei Yang slowly closed his eyes.However, the night flew by, and when he opened his eyes the next day, the sky was already bright, Zhang Xiuqi had already put on his clothes, and sat on a chair beside him, as if waiting for him to wake up, Mr. Turtle It's like being overtired, crawling in the water basin with no intention of moving.

Rubbing his eyes in embarrassment, Wei Yang rolled over and got out of bed: "Sorry Brother Qi, I overslept..."

Zhang Xiuqi nodded clearly: "The turtle is very useful."

"Ah?" I didn't understand what the words meant at all, but the little celestial master didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, so he stood up and walked outside. Wei Yang looked at the man's back, then at the man lying on the basin The tortoise inside showed a wry smile, patted the tortoise's shell, and followed.

Today, because I got up late, my uncle had already gone out to work in the fish pond. The auntie saw the two of them quickly brought up the hot food in the pot, and asked anxiously: "Xiaoyang, do you really want to eat today?" Are you going to Wangcun?"

Apparently, after one night, she finally remembered the topic that she was distracted by, so she came here to beat the drums.Wei Yang sneered: "That's what it means. Several nearby villages want to go around."

Hearing this, the aunt hurriedly said: "Then it's better to go to our Beilu Village, anyway, it's not far from here, and the scenery is still very good, Wang Village has been very evil in the past two years, and there's nothing interesting about it. place, why go there?"

Wei Yang took a deep look at the eldest aunt, as if surprised by what was in her eyes, she quickly looked away.The eldest nephew of her family doesn't know, but she knows well that what happened to her younger brother and sister-in-law happened in Wang Village back then, if something happened to Xiaoyang, then the second brother's family would be wiped out!Well, speaking of it, I blame the second brother's family for making bronze wares, and I guess they dug up a lot of earthen goods, so they got retribution...

Looking at the expression on the face of the aunt, Wei Yang finally twitched the corner of his mouth: "I see, I can go anywhere."

After breakfast, the two went out together. Although the neighboring villages are very close, it would take more than an hour to get there by foot. Wei Yang stopped a car at the entrance of the village and took a ride there. past.Hearing that he was going to play in Wangcun, the uncle driving the tractor clicked his tongue: "Hey, what's so interesting about the boundary of Wangcun? Isn't it different from our village! It's better to go to the city!"

Wei Yang replied with a smile: "I heard people say that there are more people dumping local goods over there. Go and see what's new, maybe you can buy some things and go home."

"Hey, you are too ignorant." The tractor uncle immediately slapped his thigh, "Can you play with those local goods casually? You are not afraid of finding evil, and there is no such thing as a dumping goods in Wangcun. In the early years, there were a few small workshops that produced earthen pots, copper ware, and pottery, but now they are almost all closed, if you want to join in the fun, you have found the wrong place."

"Oh?" Wei Yang immediately asked, "Did you still have this kind of business two years ago?"

"What happened two years ago." The uncle pouted, "Anyway, you were looking for this, but you went to the wrong place!"

"Then just take a look." Wei Yang didn't mind, and changed the subject with a smile.

With such a means of transportation, the road was fast. In less than half an hour, the two arrived near Wangcun. After getting off the tractor, he took out a SLR camera from his bag and hung it around his neck. There were two boards that looked like picture clips hanging on their bodies. After tidying up, the two went all the way to Wangcun.

This village is slightly larger than Weijia Village. It looks like it should be a newly built village. The overall planning is very good, with a bit of a new rural atmosphere. There are also many shops in the village. In twos and threes, it was full of aunts and aunts basking in the sun and doing needlework, and the parents were chatting enthusiastically.

Wei Yang didn't pay attention to them, and walked along the path, holding up his SLR camera and slapping here and there, making gestures with Zhang Xiuqi from time to time, in a full-fledged manner.Both of them were dressed as young students, and their appearance was surprisingly eye-catching. After a while, they attracted the bright or dark eyes of the aunts, as if they just saw the store here. Wei Yang walked over quickly and smiled at the proprietress inside. Said: "Sister, is there any iced Coke in the store? Here are two bottles!"

The proprietress was obviously in her early fifties, and she was called big sister by such a young man, and her face was already smiling: "It's only been a few months now, is there any iced ones, can warm ones be okay?"

"Alright!" Wei Yang answered very readily, beckoning to Zhang Xiuqi who was standing outside the shop door, "Brother, come and have a rest."

The aunt quickly brought the Coke, and immediately saw Zhang Xiuqi who walked in the door. Today, the little celestial master didn't even wear a peaked cap, and his handsome face was as attractive as it could be. Prince of literature and art, although my aunt has long lost her girlish heart, she still couldn't help asking: "Yo, you are still brothers? College students, what are you doing here?"

"Caifeng, in simple terms, is walking around, looking around, writing and drawing." Wei Yang opened a bottle of drink with a smile, handed it to Zhang Xiuqi, and opened another big can for himself, "But this Wangcun can It’s different from what we imagined, so modern? At a glance, it looks like a small second floor.”

"Look at what you said, isn't the small second floor good?" The aunt immediately refused, and half-truthfully blamed, "As long as you people in the city can live in high-rise buildings, we should live in bungalows?"

"Oh, big sister, don't get me wrong." Wei Yang immediately put on a smile on his face, looking kind and innocent, "We come here to collect folk songs, of course we want to see some traditional and folk customs, all of which are modernized and similar to others. What is the difference between the place where the so-called nation belongs to the world.”

"Tch, only you young people who don't have to worry about food and drink think about it this way." Even though she said so, the aunt's face was full of smiles, and she reached out and handed over the change.

"Ah, you don't need to make change, just fill us with some mineral water." Wei Yang simply waved his hand, but instead of taking the money, he changed the topic, "By the way, when I came, I heard people say that Wangcun is here. The place is evil, could it be that something strange happened in the village?"

"Who said that!" Hearing this, the aunt was not happy, and called out directly, "Our Wang Village is not very good, and it is also rich. These wicked ghosts will say that our village is not good!"

Hearing the aunt's voice, the three aunts and six wives outside the door also started yelling, as if they couldn't resist the uproar of the women's army, Wei Yang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Didn't I hear what others said, saying that in the village It turned out that a tomb robber met a ghost and caused some murders, it was almost 20 years ago, right?"

"How can there be such a thing! Why haven't I heard of it?" The aunt sneered, but an aunt outside the door interjected mysteriously, "Don't tell me, I have heard the rumors!"

"Oh? What's the rumor?", "What's going on?" A group of middle-aged and elderly women outside the door immediately exploded, and even the two young men looked at them with bright eyes. Guan Zi: "But what I heard is not a tomb robber, let alone a ghost, but a bronze seller..."

"Hey, I seem to know about this too!" Another old lady hurriedly said, "Isn't it the west end of the village? My sister-in-law lived there back then!"

She didn't expect to be robbed of the conversation, so the aunt didn't dare to delay, and quickly threw the conversation out: "Isn't that right there! The couple had a falling out somehow, and they started killing each other at home. In the end, they killed each other with two swords. clean!"

"It's so miserable? How could it be like this..." A younger woman frowned unbearably, "Is there no child in that family? The child won't die too, right?"

"Who knows, the person is not from our village anyway, and he was taken away afterwards, probably because he didn't want to make trouble?" The aunt curled her lips, "We haven't had a murder case in Wang Village for many years, and these foreigners love to provoke them." trouble!"

But the old lady snorted coldly: "Second son's family, what you said is wrong, don't say anything else, my sister-in-law said that there is a ghost over there, and the husband and wife are fine at first, if it wasn't for the evil spirits, how could it be possible suddenly? It’s like that? And those who live in that circle, everyone has something wrong, such a big thing, even the watchdog hasn’t been alarmed, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be evil. And the whole village The transformation seems to be to avoid that kind of evil spirit, and I specially asked the master to see it..."

"There is such a thing?", "Why haven't I heard of it?", "His aunt, hurry up and tell me in detail." A group of women chattered and hyped, vying for the right to speak, while Wei Yang However, his face turned pale. He said those words just to shake off the topic and facilitate clichés, but the results he got were almost unacceptable to him. They can all correspond, but the way of death is completely different from what was expected. It is not a car accident, not some kind of accident, but a husband and wife killing each other?Are the legendary couple really his biological parents?

Clenching his fist quietly, Wei Yangqiang calmed down, held up a smile and picked up the mineral water on the counter: "Thank you, big sister, then let's continue wandering around. By the way, is there any part of our village that has not been rebuilt, or something?" Ancestral halls, family temples, things like that.”

The aunt was listening to the gossip and was engrossed. Only then did she realize that there were guests, and she laughed dryly: "There were still some in the past, but they were scrapped and rebuilt later. It may be quite different from the original."

"It's all about the scenery, don't delay watching." Wei Yang didn't seem to be picky, he roughly asked the addresses of the two places, and asked about the location of the haunted house where someone died, as if curious, before following The group of aunts thanked them and left.

Just a few steps out of the store, his footsteps were a little sloppy, the sun above his head became astonishingly large, with a dizzying burning sensation, Wei Yang only felt a buzzing in his head , Finally managed to hold on to turn the corner of the street, and he stopped on the side of the road, as if he could no longer walk.

A hand lightly pressed on his shoulder, Zhang Xiuqi rushed up and supported him, as if afraid that he would fall at any time.Wei Yang raised his head and looked at the cold and handsome face. The little celestial master frowned tightly, and there was an unmistakable worry in his eyes. expressed concern.

The temperature of that hand was also very hot, so hot that it seemed to be able to dispel the chill on his body, Wei Yang took a deep breath, and grabbed the other's wrist with his backhand: "Brother Qi, I don't know if they are talking about my parents, but I always I should go and see what happened back then... I don't want to be kept in the dark..."

"I'm here." Zhang Xiuqi's voice was extremely serious, with a reassuring firmness.

Wei Yang smiled, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Brother Qi is always with you."

Gathering his mind, he didn't hesitate anymore, took the hand of the little celestial master, and walked towards the west of the village side by side.
