4, Chapter 4
There is a kind of depressing beauty in the winter in the south. Gu Chuqing gathered her black down jacket and prepared to drive home. When she closed the car door, her eyes inadvertently touched the Binjiang Road under the bridge and saw that there was a circle there early in the morning.
Grandpa and aunt.
She has a bright and bright smile. She is really a group of energetic old people. She actually got up so early in such a cold weather.
Gu Chuqing drove away, unaware that after she left, a strange river wind suddenly blew up on the riverside road under the bridge, and a dense cloud of evil swirled on the river surface, causing a wave of strange waves.
It rained all night, and there were many puddles on the road. Back in town, Gu Chuqing drove the small freighter home and parked it in the yard.
This yard was built when the uncle was still alive. Later, when the uncle passed away and the aunt remarried, she changed the name on the property certificate to hers, saying that no matter what, there would always be a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Gu Chuqing has always felt that she was very lucky. Although her parents died young, her relatives at home were very kind to her.
After her parents passed away, her uncle took her here. Although life was not that good, the atmosphere at home was very warm and she didn't feel like she was dependent on anyone.
She lived in her uncle's house for two years, and his uncle also fell ill and passed away. Her eldest aunt took her and her cousin to live with her. When she was sixteen and could take care of herself, her eldest aunt remarried and went to another province.
Many people said that the eldest aunt was cruel and left her alone.
Gu Chuqing didn't think so. When her uncle passed away, her eldest aunt was only a little over forty. She still has the rest of her life. It's impossible to delay her happiness just for her, her husband's niece. He can take care of her until she is sixteen.
At the age of 30, he has already exhausted his benevolence and righteousness.
The eldest aunt remarried, and the uncle came back to take her over. Due to her own reasons, she couldn't stay too far away from Guyu Town, and because her aunt and cousin didn't seem to like her very much, she refused. But the uncle was also very good to her. She spent three years in high school.
Her uncle paid for her tuition and living expenses.
Because of this incident, my aunt often had quarrels with my uncle.
On the day she got the college notice, Gu Chuqing called her uncle and asked him not to send her any money in the future. She was worried that if she continued like this, her aunt would divorce her uncle. Anyway, she had a lot of free time in college, so she had time to work and earn money.
money.
Because of this, her uncle felt guilty about her. He went back to Guyu Town, talked with his cousin, and asked her to learn a driver's license. After she got her driver's license, as soon as she had a vacation, she went to her cousin's slaughterhouse.
deliver goods.
My uncle left Guyu Town with red eyes during the summer vacation that year.
Gu Chuqing knew that he loved her, and she didn't want to see him in trouble.
This...is the best arrangement.
Gu Chuqing jumped out of the car, connected a water pipe from the sink, and washed away the pig blood stained in the cargo box.
After washing the car, she took off her down jacket and went upstairs to take a shower. After getting dressed, she took out a few coins from the coin box and put on her slippers to go to the breakfast shop next door.
Guyu Town is just a small town, and almost everyone in the town knows each other. Nowadays, society is developing rapidly. Although the town is small, it has complete internal organs and a lot of things that should be there.
"Chu Qing has finished work. What would you like to eat this morning?" The proprietress of the breakfast shop called Chu Qing warmly when she saw her coming in.
"A bowl of porridge and two fried dough sticks." Gu Chuqing smiled at the landlady.
The landlady said hello and quickly brought the breakfast ordered by Gu Chuqing to the table. When she was done, she also gave Gu Chuqing a small plate of pickles to go with the meal.
Gu Chuqing has a sweet mouth, is beautiful, has bright eyes and white teeth, and always has a sincere smile in her big eyes. There is no trace of false flattery or flattery in that smile, but a smile from the heart, which makes people laugh.
When people look at her, they feel relaxed physically and mentally. There is no one in the neighborhood who doesn't like her.
The most important thing is that although this little girl is lonely, she is not weak in temperament. She is confident, public and full of youthful vigor.
The proprietress of the breakfast shop liked Gu Chuqing very much. Every time Gu Chuqing came over for breakfast, she would give her more or less.
"Chu Qing, when you got out of the car this morning, did you see the salvage boat on the river?" The landlady was busy chatting with Gu Chuqing while she was busy with what she was doing.
Gu Chuqing took a sip of porridge and asked doubtfully: "I didn't see it, what kind of salvage ship?"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress opened the conversation and started talking to Gu Chuqing: "The local morning news just now reported that a small car rushed into the river from Binjiang Road under the Fujiang Bridge yesterday evening. It is said that there were people sitting in it.
Three people, all three died. Among them was a young couple who just got married yesterday. In the evening, they said they were sending a drunk friend home, but something happened on the way."
Gu Chuqing paused while holding the bowl, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly.
Die on the wedding day... Could it be that the pair of ghosts we met on the bridge last night were the newlyweds?
Damn it, no wonder she felt that those two ghosts last night were a little strange. They probably died on the wedding day...
"I heard someone said that the groom who was driving seemed to have been drunk at noon." The boss said this and sighed: "It's really a sin. A good wedding day turned into a funeral just because of two cups of horse urine. The adults in their family didn't know
How sad.”
Gu Chuqing smiled and did not answer. She closed her eyes lightly, with caution in her eyes.
Trouble!
People who die just after they get married will most likely become evil ghosts as soon as they die because they have not gone through the wedding night.
If you have a strong enough anger and are stained with blood, you can become a ghost king within a hundred years.
She couldn't tell whether the pair of ghosts she met yesterday were stained with blood, but she knew that they were different from ordinary fierce ghosts. Water belongs to yin, fire belongs to yang, and they died in a very yin place... After becoming a fierce ghost,
It will only become more brutal.
If it happens that the place where they fell into the water is a dangerous place, there is no need to wait until the first seven days are over, or something big will happen.
The two ghosts were injured by her yesterday, and the Bridge Suppressor Beast also appeared. They should not cause trouble on the bridge for the time being. As for whether they would cause trouble elsewhere... she couldn't control it for the time being.
Everything has to wait until she has passed these three days before talking about it.
Gu Chuqing finished breakfast, paid the bill, and walked to the slaughterhouse.
The slaughterhouse always operates at night, and there are no people in the slaughterhouse during the day. When Gu Chuqing went there, there were only two cleaners, holding water pipes to wash away the blood stains on the ground.
She found Ma Jingguo in the office on the third floor and told him that after today, she would not come to work.
Before her destiny is broken, she must return to the Gu family's old house to integrate her Qi into the old house. She must also form a formation in the old house to prevent ghosts from coming to cause damage and cause trouble for her in the past few days.
When it came time to actually set up the altar and perform the rituals, Gu Chuqing was not worried. It was daytime and ghosts did not dare to come out.
Ma Jingguo waved his hand and didn't care. He took advantage of the situation and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Chuqing smiled: "I'm going back to my old house to clean it up."
Ma Jingguo: "It's time to go back and take a look. Remember to offer incense sticks to your parents for me."
Gu Chuqing smiled and nodded.
When leaving the slaughterhouse, Ma Jingguo stuffed Gu Chuqing with a box of dumplings and asked her to take them back and cook them herself.
After coming out of the slaughterhouse, Gu Chuqing returned home, put the dumplings in the refrigerator, then packed a change of clothes, and put a knife of yellow paper and some items needed for setting up the altar into the tool box.
When she was almost done packing, she walked to the room where her uncle lived before, dug out an old rattan box from inside, found the cassock that her uncle had made for her when he was still alive, and then put the big rooster that she had left in the yard in the car.
To set up the altar, blood from the cock's comb is needed to induce yang energy, and the chicken given by Uncle Tan just comes in handy.
After doing this, Gu Chuqing carefully took out the seven-star Yangling lamp that was lit in her cousin's room. She put two fingers together and set a barrier on the Yangling lamp so that it would not be blown out by the wind, and then drove the car.
Exited Guyu Town.
A black car also drove out of the town at this time, and the car followed Gu Chuqing leisurely.
"Brother Ji, what are we doing following that junk car in front?"
After getting into the driver's seat, Tian Hao raised his eyebrows and let out a sigh of relief. Damn it, the winter in the south was so cold. Even with the car's heating turned on to the maximum, he still felt chilly.
"Why are there so many nonsense? Just follow her." Ji Hongxiu withdrew his gaze and glanced sideways at Tian Hao.
His facial features were handsome and prominent, and even his squinting eyes had an indescribable charm.
Tian Hao: "Brother Ji, why did you go to this remote place just for the girl in the car?"
"When did you fall in love?" Tian Hao felt that he had revealed the truth. He turned his head and looked at Ji Hongxiu in disbelief: "You must have been dumped by that chick, so come after her... Ouch, this chick is awesome
I'm so brave that I even dare to dump you."
"Drive your car."
Ji Hongxiu patted Tian Hao's head and raised his eyes to stare at the small four-wheeler in front of him. He was excited and a little uneasy at the same time.
After three months of searching, I finally found the right person.
He had just inquired in the town that the little girl's surname was Gu, which matched the name of the Gu family mentioned by Master Zhou.
But the information he learned made Ji Hongxiu feel very unsure. The little girl and her cousin were the only ones left in the Gu family, and her cousin was still out of town. She didn't know if she could solve what happened to him.
However, on the bridge, she was able to repel the monster with just two strokes, so her skills were certainly good.
It's like treating a dead horse as a living doctor. You have to try it whether it works or not.
Damn, he was almost going crazy because of his own eyes. If he continued like this, he would become a psychopath sooner or later.
Before being sent to a mental hospital, he must be rescued no matter what.
―――
The Gu family's old house is in the countryside. It takes about two hours to walk from Guyu Town, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive there.
The old house is located in the back hill of Dakou Village. It is a hidden place in the eyes of the entire Dakou Village. No matter it is day or night, few people dare to enter. The house is a glazed tile house from the Qing Dynasty, which is divided into the main hall and the east and west wings. It is better here.
No one has lived there for years, the entire old house is empty, and there is no trace of popularity. Only the ancestor's memorial tablet in the center of the lobby remains the same.
Gu Chuqing parked the car on the earth dam outside the old house, pushed open the thick door, and moved the things she brought into the house.
After putting away the things, Gu Chuqing lit a stick of incense for the ancestors of the Gu family, then moved an Eight Immortals table from the room where the sundries were piled, and invited the Seven-Star Yangling Lantern in.
"Is anyone at home?" As soon as the Seven Yang Star Spirit Lantern was placed, there was a noise outside the courtyard.
"Who is it?" Gu Chuqing responded, thinking it was her uncle from Dakou Village who saw her coming back and came to ask.
As soon as she finished asking, she saw two young men in fashionable clothes appearing at the gate.
"You are...."
Gu Chuqing looked at the two of them with some doubts.
She had never lived in Dakou Village. She knew a few people from the older generation, but she had never seen any of the younger ones. When she saw two-year-olds, she subconsciously thought they were from Dakou Village.
