I understand what Master means. He feels very guilty for not getting rid of the hungry ghosts in time. After all, he still allowed the hungry ghosts to harm people. At the same time, he also laments that he was not well prepared. After all, he has never been exposed to such blood-eating hungry ghosts and does not know enough about them.

"Hey, this courtyard is full of resentment. Let me save them." After saying this, Hui Jue walked to the middle of the courtyard. The people around him automatically moved out of the way. Hui Jue didn't mind the dirt on the ground and sat down cross-legged.

, and began to recite the verses about salvation.

Master glanced at the courtyard and walked out alone. I followed him and stood quietly with him at the entrance of the courtyard.

After about ten minutes of silence, the master took out his dry pipe, put some tobacco leaves and lit it. My heart was also heavy. Seeing him puffing away the smoke, I couldn't help but say: "Master, I too

Let’s have a chat.”

Old Man Jiang looked at me and said, "I smoked cigarettes last time, right? I'll give you another chance this time, and you won't be allowed to smoke until you are 18 years old!"

I wanted to laugh like usual, but it didn't sound funny, so I took a puff from the pipe. The smoke was so strong that I almost choked.

Old Man Jiang rubbed my head, took the pipe, and continued to smoke his pipe.

I held it in for a long time and then said: "Master, you said that fate is determined by God. This is their fate. Don't feel bad. Isn't there still a bug to catch? I can use it as bait again."

"

Old Man Jiang knew that I wanted to comfort him, so he looked at me with relief and said, "No more, just that one worm."

I immediately became curious and asked, "Master, what is going on?"

"I can probably deduce what's going on. The hungry devils come from the same ghost mother, and they have feelings for each other. You know that, right?"

"Yeah!" I nodded heavily.

"Last time we distributed pills and killed so many of their brothers and sisters at once. The remaining two felt dangerous and hid. I don't know about the other one. After all, there are many woods here and there are so many wild animals.

One of them hid in the belly of Qian Dagui's cow. There was a connection between them, and they probably had some special way of contacting each other. Then they met, and then they started to eat away at Wang Lezi and his wife," the master said.

"But the corpses of Wang Lezi and his wife have decomposed so badly." I couldn't figure out the reason.

"You brat, listen to me. The thing that confuses us is that they are eating away at these two people bit by bit, usually hiding in the belly of the beast! Do you understand?" Old Man Jiang

He said it with some disbelief.

The little hungry ghost insect has such an IQ.

I swallowed hard and said: "Master, I understand what you mean. No wonder Qian Dagui's cow whines every night. How dare it go in and out every night? It eats away bit by bit, Wang Lezi."

The symptoms are not obvious, and they avoid us when we distribute the medicine. How can they be so smart?"

"Yeah, the most incredible thing is that they actually chose Wang Lezi, who has little contact with people in the countryside, to attack! This is something I can't understand. Maybe I'm biased. There are hungry ghosts in this world.

, they are a kind of creature, some are even formed from the degeneration of human souls, how smart they are." Old Man Jiang sighed, it seemed that he was blaming himself.

"Then Master, aren't there two? Why is there only one?"

"Have you forgotten? Hungry ghosts will eat each other!" Old Man Jiang took a puff of dry cigarette and stopped talking.

I was shocked. I originally just heard it as a legend in the world of hungry ghosts, but I didn't expect it to actually happen before my eyes.

"Why would it eat its own brothers and sisters?" I couldn't imagine it, and I thought of my two sisters.

"Maybe the surroundings feel too dangerous for it, and it wants the strength to protect itself." Old Man Jiang took a puff of dry smoke, knocked the dry smoke pot, and said with some uncertainty.

At this time, Huijue's salvation had been completed. I had to admire this old man. After his salvation, I clearly felt that the courtyard had become clearer.

Old Man Jiang stood up and walked into the yard. Hu Xueman quickly stepped forward and said: "Master Jiang, someone is dead, and he died like this. This matter is really troublesome."

No wonder Old Man Jiang said before he left, a lot of trouble is waiting. I probably know the nature of my master's work. Some things can have the least impact, and some things can be hidden unnoticed.

, just hide it!

But in this rural place, two people died like this, it is really something difficult to hide.

After pondering for a while, Old Man Jiang said: "Go to the township office now and contact the superiors. This kind of thing is not something we can hide. The superiors need to take action!"

The next day, during the regular lunch time, I still carried my lunch box and ate alone in front of the table tennis table. After a while, the crispy pork came over.

"Sanwa'er, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?" I haven't completely recovered from my mood, and I don't care about what those classmates usually talk about.

"People from the Public Security Bureau came early in the morning. They said they had caught a heinous crime and confessed to the murder. Then they took out the bodies of Wang Lezi and his wife and wrapped them tightly so that no one could see them.

How are you wearing it?

What's going on?" Su Rou didn't have much appetite. He picked at the rice in the lunch box and couldn't eat it. It's a shame his mother sent him to school early in the morning because he and I were together in Qian Dagui last night.

We stayed at home all night and didn't go back.

However, it's normal to not be able to eat. I don't even have much appetite. I usually eat three boxes of lunch, but this time I couldn't finish half a box, and I felt like I couldn't eat anymore.

"Hey, it turns out that there are some things that we ordinary people can't possibly know the truth about." Seeing that I didn't answer, Su Rou sighed again.

I was silent in my heart, yes, this is the turbulent undercurrent behind the tranquility. People just need to live quietly, and many things are covered up silently.

Let me ask, in 1982, a year when information was originally underdeveloped, who would question what the police said? Who would think of such a thing as a hungry ghost?

Even today, with the rapid development of information, in front of the powerful state machinery, once a matter is finalized, any discussion will subside and life will continue as usual. In fact, not knowing some things is a hundred times better than knowing.

"Surou, you think I can be forgiven, why did you get involved in so many things?" I actually found it a bit unbearable. No matter how smooth Surou is, he is just a 15-year-old child. To him, these are

, is it too heavy?

"Who told me that I am destined to be with you? So, you may have to leave, but I am not sad at all, because I believe in Mr. Jiang, and I know that we will meet again." Su Rou was rarely sentimental for a while.

It’s a good thing that we are buddies who hang out together wearing crotchless pants.

I looked at the crispy meat and felt a little moved in my heart. This guy is usually very carefree, but I didn't expect that he would remember this sentence so deeply that I had already forgotten.

"What are you doing? Sanwa'er, if you stare at the old hen in school, don't stare at me like that. I can't stand it." The pork belly suddenly trembled, probably because I looked at it sourly.

"You idiot, whose father are you? Eat, eat, whoever doesn't finish is the idiot." I shouted.

The crispy meat looked at me bitterly and said, "Sanba'er, I'm sorry you are so deceptive. I really can't eat it."

Three days later, the atmosphere in the school became tense, because the final exam was coming in seven days, and there were only seven days left in the semester. I felt inexplicably sad. I didn’t know if I had finished studying in these seven days.

, I am about to leave here with Old Man Jiang.

I also have some expectations, what will the outside world be like?

After school, I met a man at the school gate, a bearded man named Hu Xueman.

"Why are you here?" I was very curious as to why he was waiting for me at the school gate.

"I was going to go up the mountain to talk to Master Jiang today. Can't I pick you up by the way?" Hu Xueman took my schoolbag and carried it for me.

"Don't be like this, I'm so big." I grabbed the schoolbag, put it back on my back, and then said: "My master is definitely busy today. He and Uncle Hui want to save those hungry ghosts. You can hurry up today."

Come, what are you discussing with him?"
